Chapter 6


Harry made his way into the great hall. He spotted Ron and took a seat next to him. Ron looked at him then turned to face the Slytherin table and stared at Malfoy. Harry watched for a brief second as Draco blushed and turned to face one of his house mates and start a conversation. Harry looked down at his plate and picked at the food before eating only a little. Hermione sat across from him reading a potions book.

"Potions Hermione?"

She peeked over her book and nodded.

"I'm trying to get a head start on tomorrow's lesson, you should too ….. Both of you "

Harry tried to crinkle his nose in disgust and tell her on but what came out instead was: "That sounds like an excellent plan". Ron paled slightly and stared at both of them shaking his head no. Harry shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Hermione.

"Help me study?"

She smiled and nodded.

"At least one of you is making an effort"

Ron looked down at his plate and shoved a big spoonful into his mouth. Harry laughed and Ron blushed. Harry felt a tingling sensation run down his back and he looked up. He stared at Professor Snape as he entered in what seemed like a heated conversation with his godfather Sirius Black. Harry couldn't help but stare at the Potion Master lips as he replies back his godfather. He shook his head trying to clear his thought when Sirius stood up abruptly and pointed at Snape. Snape looked bored and then smirked. Harry noticed his godfather face turn red and Snape brought a napkin to his face hiding a smile. He smiled!

Harry smiled and then the conversation he had with Malfoy played in his head over and over and he couldn't help but frown. I have to warn him tell him that his life might be in danger…..but what if Malfoy was lying and it's just a trap? Harry couldn't understand it but he could almost feel that Malfoy wasn't lying. He blinked several times as Ron waved his hands in front of him trying to get his attention.

"Are you alright?"

Harry nodded.

"You're being awfully quite "

Harry looked at Hermione and raised an eyebrow.

"I have a lot on my mind"

"And you haven't even eaten, you're going to make yourself sick if you don't eat properly "

"I'm not hungry"

She gave him a look that said she knew something was up but didn't push it. They stood up and exited the Great Hall and made their way to the common room. Hermione made sure to get a table for the three of them and gathered her books and took a sit. Ron surprisingly sat there quietly as Harry gathered his stuff and sat down.

"What did Malfoy want?"

Harry looked at Ron then at Hermione who seem to forget what she was originally doing and focused on him.

"He …just wanted to talk"

Ron looked at him with a frown.

"About what? Harry he can't be trusted"

Hermione snapped her book shut.

"Ron you promised"

"No Hermione you did, I don't trust him"

Harry sighed.

"I know but I don't know how to explain it ….but I trust him"

Ron looked like he was about to be sick and when he spoke Harry realized he spoke louder.

"You trust him? Malfoy? …. After everything he's done! After what his father has done! "

Harry frowned. He couldn't help but think of the look of sadness Malfoy had when he said the same thing.

"Things have changed …. I would tell you but …"

Harry trailed off as he looked around the room and noticed a few pair of eyes staring at them. Hermione caught on and pulled out her wand. She murmured a few words and placed her wand on the table then nodded at harry. He smiled at her and thanked her.

"Voldemort knows about me ….being a wolf and he also knows about Snape's loyalty"

Hermione gasp and Ron stared mouth opened.

"How?"

"I don't know but Malfoy thinks he's plotting an attack and I agree …. He's been too quite"

Ron looked at him.

"Malfoy thinks? Does he know about you? About Snape?"

Harry nodded.

"HE –"

Before Ron could explode Harry placed a hand over his mouth.

"Now listen, Malfoy is helping me. His father wants him to take the mark but he doesn't want to. He's gathering information on Voldemort in order to present some solid proof to Dumbledore about were his loyalty really lies. Because Snape's loyalty is being questioned, Voldemort is being careful around him but he confines in Lucius and Lucius wants nothing more than for Draco to join the ranks. He's going to use his own father to give us a chance, an advantage against Voldemort".

Harry removed his hand from Ron's mouth and sighed.

"So you're saying that Mal- no, that Draco is spying for Dumbledore? For the light?"

Harry looked at Hermione and laughed. She gave him a confused look and Ron looked at him as if he had lost it.

"Actually no, He's spying for me …. He made it quite clear that this was not for the sake of the light or Dumbledore but for me. I know it's confusing but I can't help but feel he's saying the truth. I mean he even swore his allegiance to me "

Ron straightened in his seat and his face turned red.

"Are you saying that we have to be nice to Malfoy? Because I don't think I can"

Harry smiled and jumped when the clock chimed signaling it was curfew.

"You guys can't tell Dumbledore or Snape about Draco. I promised him that I would keep quite unless something goes wrong."

Hermione grabbed her stuff and nodded. She yawned and said good night leaving Ron and Harry.

"Damn, Ron you go ahead I have to go and talk to Professor Snape"

Ron nodded.

"It's pretty gutsy right …. What Malfoy is doing?"

Harry stopped at the entrance and nodded.

"New found respect for Malfoy Ron?"

Ron turned red and shook his head.

"No, but I think it's a brilliant plan "

Harry nodded and dashed out the door.

HP~SS~HP~SS~HP

Harry pulled the white covers over his head. He could smell the moment his Godfathers stepped into the infirmary and at the moment he didn't want to speak with anyone.

"Madam Pomfrey how is he?"

She sighed and looked at them worried.

"I don't know. He's asleep now but I can't tell you how he is"

He felt as the weight of one of them dipped the bed slightly.

"Harry? Are you up?"

It was Sirius. Harry closed his eyes tighter and tried to keep his breathing even. He heard Remus concern as he continued to talk to Pomfrey.

"What happened? He was fine at dinner"

"I found him in the corridors crying, both hands bloody. His eyes were a mix of green and gold and he mumbled something about not being true. He looked like a wounded animal. I treated his wounds nothing too serious but he's going to need to keep the bandages on for a day or so until the scars heal."

Sirius stood up from the bed.

"Who did this to him? Has the headmaster been informed?"

"I have"

Harry groaned mentally. He wanted peace and quit. Too many things were going through his mind and he couldn't make sense of it and they were having a meeting right next to him.

"What happened to Potter? He was just fine"

Harry heart skipped a beat when he heard Professor Snape's voice. Honestly who else is coming?

"Just fine? You saw him before this? I bet you had something to do with this?"

Harry heard the shuffling around and nearly yelled for them all to shut up when Snape spoke up once again.

"I didn't do anything to him but I should have followed him when he left. He came to my office babbling something about telling me something important. I assumed Albus sent him "

"I didn't, I haven't spoken to the boy since the incident I my office"

"What did he tell you Snape?"

"Nothing he ran out, I didn't think much about it"

"Gentleman why don't we head to my office? We can have this conversation over some tea"

"As much fun as that sound, you know I have to pass I have a meeting to attend tonight"

Harry felt a panic raise to his chest. Snape is going to the meeting? I didn't get a chance to warn him! Before Harry had a chance to react he felt a hand running through his hair. He couldn't help but lean into the hand. It felt so warm and Harry heard the wolf sigh happily.

"I'm sorry…. I seem to cause your wolf to react …. I don't mean to but I guess I deserve it"

Snape? Harry opened his eyes as he felt the hand retreat. He sat up in the bed and watched as Snape walked away robe flowing ever so perfect behind him. He's going to die if I don't stop him. He felt the tears pour of him but he couldn't understand why. He closed his eyes tightly and willed himself to relax.

"Sir – Professor WAIT!"

Snape stopped and turned his head.

"Sorry if I woke you I – "

"Sir you can't go … to the meeting … to him … he knows"

Snape turned around giving him his full attention.

"Potter what are you talking about?"

Harry went to wipe his face and stopped when he realized he had the bandages on. Before he could do anything Snape stood in front of him wiping away the tears as they fell.

"Honestly Potter, you cry more than a homesick first year"

Harry grabbed his hand he knew that something weird was going on but right now he needed to warn him.

"Sir Voldemort knows…. He knows where you're loyalty truly lies"

Snape eyes widen at the statement and without realizing it squeezed the hand that held his.

"Well it was a matter of time. I knew this would eventually happen."

No! You can't let him go!

"You can't go!"

"Potter I have to ….. Are you sure?"

Harry held the hand and nodded.

"He also knows about me … about the wolf"

"How?"

Harry looked up at Snape not knowing how to answer.

'I don't know "

"How did you come about this information?"

Harry closed his eyes tightly and avoided looking at him.

"Can't say"

Harry couldn't help but frown as Snape pulled his hand away.

"What kind of games are you playing?"

The wolf growled loudly and Harry felt a wave of anger overcome him.

"I'm not playing! He's going to kill you if you show up. I'm trying to protect you"

Snape scoffed.

"I was aware of the risk since the very beginning"

Snape turned and headed for the door. Harry ran after him. He grabbed the back of his robes and pulled back.

"You can't go, if you do I –I – I will tell Dumbledore you willing got killed"

Snape tried pulling Harry off.

"Go on and tell him, you think he's going to stop me? We anticipated this move a long time ago. I'm ready to go"

Harry stared at him confused by his own feelings and what the professor had said. Harry did the only thing he felt was logic. He lunched himself into the Professor and wrapped his arms around his waist. Snape stared utterly confused by the action.

"Potter gets off"

"No!"

"Off now"

"No way"

"Potter you're acting childish"

"Don't care you can't go"

"Potter I will hex you if you don't let go"

Harry held on tighter and Snape nearly did hex him.

"Do it "

"Potter what if you're wrong?"

"I'm not! "

"Right Harry Potter is never wrong"

"I'm glad you see it my way"

Snape groaned.

"If things get bad I will leave immediately"

"Not good enough"

"Potter wont it be for the best?"

Harry pushed away a little enough to see the Professor face and not let go.

"We need you"

"Albus won't stop until you're safe"

"I – I – I need you"

Snape looked down. Harry eyes were closed tightly and a deep blush settled on his cheeks.

"You don't"

"I do"

"Why?"

"Because I do"

Snape couldn't make sense of what was going on. He been prepared, years prepared, for the moment when his life would end. Never fearing the moment, always knowing it was meant to happen and then a few words from Harry Potter shattered all that. Did the boy even realize what he was saying?

"Let me go "

"No way!"

He grabbed Harry's arm and shoved him off. The look on Harry's face made his heart ache but this was something he had to do. He pointed his wand at Harry as he tried to launch at him again. Snape cursed at himself when Harry eyes changed to gold and came toward him. In a blink of an eye his wand was slapped out of his hand and Potter once again had his arms wrapped around him.

"Potter!"

"I will let you ago …. I will let you go under one condition"

Snape nodded. How much could the brat ask for?

"What's your condition?"

Harry looked up eyes glowing a pretty gold color that left Snape feeling a bit odd.

"Kiss me"
