A/N: So this chapter is a bit longer than the others. Since I didn't update last week I thought I make a bit longer then the norm to make up for it. Ummm I had a friend who isn't a slash fan read this not because I wanted to but because I left it open on my laptop at school and she read it and didn't like it at all. She kept going on about how wrong and disgusting Snarry was and how weird I was for not only support it but writing about it. I'm sad to announce I am no longer speaking to her ….. this chapter isn't even slashy so ….anyways not that I want to dump my problem on you guys I just wanted to let you know that I was kind of down because of that and its why I took so long to update.

About this Chapter: umm there's a bit of an order change instead of continuing from where the last chapter left off it starts after the whole Snape/Harry moment then goes into the Snape/Harry thing.

I hope that doesn't confuse ya …. I know you guys hate cliffhangers but I couldn't help myself with this one. Ummm ohh we meet baldy voldy and I just want to point out if you think Snape and Harry are a bit too OOC it's the wolfs fault he's affecting both of them I hope I made that clear in the story but in case I didn't, now you know

Chapter 7

Remus sat across the Headmaster, a cup of tea cradled in his hands. He stared down into the cup trying to figure out what was going on with Harry. He played the events of the last couple of weeks in his mind over and over again trying to see if he missed something. Certain things just didn't make sense or add up. Harry was speaking to the wolf that much was obvious but why was the wolf even listening? On top of that Harry eyes hadn't changed color ….. Well they did just not like mines …. Again that was also the wolf's doing …. But why? Remus gripped the teacup. The full moon will happen in a week. I need to speak with Harry. This week will be tough on him …. His first transformation. What if he can`t handle it? What if it kills him? What then? I failed to protect you cub. Remus stared up when he felt a hand on his arm.

"You need to calm down Remus …. What`s wrong?"

He stared at Sirius and felt his muscles relax. Sirius looked concerned and Remus couldn't figure out why. He shook his head and told him nothing was wrong.

"Don't lie something is bothering you"

Again Remus just looked at him. It always amazed him how easily Sirius could read him. Even when they were younger Sirius could simply look at him and tell something was up. Remus shook his head. He raised his hands which were cradling the teacup to take a sip when he noticed the cup wasn't there. He looked at his hands which were covered in tea and pieces of a now broken teacup. Oh ….

"Remus …."

He looked up at the Headmaster and then at Sirius.

"I'm sorry …. I have a lot on my mind … sorry"

The Headmaster smiled and nodded.

"It's nothing that can't be fixed …. Are you hurt?"

The headmaster made a gesture with his hand and the teacup was once again restored on top of his desk. Remus looked at his hands. Nothing no cuts, no scratches.

Remus looked at the headmaster and smiled.

"No I'm fine"

He tried not to look at Sirius. He knew that he would start asking questions. Questions which he didn't have answers to. He asked the headmaster if Snape had any new information. The headmaster simply shook his head and informed him that Snape had left for a meeting tonight.

"He's amazing, isn't he?"

Remus and the headmaster looked at Sirius.

"Who is?"

"Severus"

Remus looked at the headmaster and notice the comment left him surprised as well. Since when does Sirius think that Snape is amazing?

"Don't look at me that way ….. Not that I would tell him myself and if either of you tell him I said it I will deny it with every fiber of my being ….. I mean he's still a bastard and I can't stand his high and mighty attitude but he's not too bad. He's practically shoving his true loyalty into Voldemort's face every time we intercept one of their plans …. He's always makes time to create Remus his potion and the way he handle harry the other day … a bit weird but still he did something none of us could"

Remus looked at Sirius. Sirius smiled and grabbed his hand. Remus immediately felt warmth spread up his arm and across his body. He felt is cheeks warm up and Sirius smile grew wider. He closed his hand around Sirius's before realizing they were still in front of the headmaster.

"You two need to be strong, now more than ever. Harry needs you both."

He nodded and held Sirius hand tighter.

"Now Remus exactly what was going on through your mind when you broke my teacup?"

Remus sighed. Leave it to the headmaster to be so direct.

"I was just thinking about Harry and his wolf. A lot of things don't make sense."

The headmaster folded his arms across the desk and looked over the rim of his glasses.

"What exactly do you mean?"

Remus felt like he was a student instead of a professor. Dumbledore always manage to make him feel like that.

"Well his interaction with Snape is just weird. We know Harry's powers are connected to his emotions and I thought that could be the case with the wolf but it's not. The wolf only reacts to Snape. I've seen it. Snape even had to excuse Harry from his potions class. He's been making them up after dinner but only if I or Sirius are there and even then the wolf is present. I fear that maybe Harry's dislike for Snape is stronger then we imagine"

"Now that you mention it Remus, it's true. A couple of nights ago he just sat there staring at Snape his eyes were switching colors back and forth. I couldn't stay focus for long …. Its potions …. But Snape looked worried."

Remus nodded when he remembered something else.

"And tonight, Snape said he thought you sent Harry to him because Harry said it was important …. And then Harry runs off and ends up hurting himself"

"You don't think Harry did that to himself!"

Sirius sound confused and hurt but Remus knew that Harry had. Remus nodded and said that he did.

"Why? Why would Harry hurt himself?"

"I think it was to stop himself …. I think the wolf his trying to kill Snape"

Silence.

A long and heavy silence took over. Remus had said it. He knew it was wrong to even think that his godson would try something like that but when it came to the wolf he personally knew that the urge to kill overpowered every other sense and Harry was probably fighting it off.

The headmaster tapped his finger against the desk.

"Is there anything we can do to stop him?"

"I don't know"

They were quiet again. The Headmaster finger tapping lightly against his desk. Sirius staring at the wall shaking his head no every minute or so. Remus sat holding Sirius hand. This is what he feared when Sirius asked if anything was wrong. What if Sirius hated him for thinking that Harry would kill? He felt Sirius squeeze his hand and he looked at him.

"Harry won't. Harry won't kill Snape. Together we can stop him"

Stop Harry? But how?

"Ah seems we have a guest"

Dumbledore motioned at the door but before Remus could ask who, Harry's familiar scent overpowered his senses. Harry presences was strong and mixed with something vaguely familiar yet Remus couldn't place a name on it. The door opened and in came a stumbling, mumbling and tear stricken Harry.

"Re-Remus …"

Remus stood up letting go of Sirius hand and walked towards Harry. He stood in front of Harry as his bandaged wrapped hands wiped away the tears that fell.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know …. The wolf …it's sad … I don't ….know"

The wolf is sad? Remus watched as Harry once again wiped away his tears. He notices harry eyes were a vivid green with a golden swirl. What's going on?

"I tried to warn him … I tried to stop him but he wouldn't listening"

He wrapped his arms around Harry and held him as he cried into his shirt. He looked at Sirius who stared then his lips moved silently never voicing the word but forming the same motion over and over until Remus got the message. Snape.

"Snape wouldn't listen?"

Harry nodded against his chest. He knew something was off about Harry's scent it smelled almost too sweet. He felt Harry push against his chest. Harry moved away from him and moved toward the Headmaster.

"S-Severus left …. He said to tell you 'Sorry old man' "

Albus stood quickly from his seat and looked at Harry. Remus realized something was defiantly wrong.

"Are you sure?"

Harry nodded furiously.

"I tried to stop him. I told him that … that Voldemort knew where his loyalty was really at but he left and he didn't even …"

Harry stood quietly, his hand drifted to his lips and he frowned.

"He didn't take my warning seriously"

"How does Voldemort know?"

"I don't know …. But he does and he also knows about me … about the wolf"

Remus watched as Albus hand clutched on top of his desk. Never had he seen the older man so out of it.

"He can't die!"

The statement was followed by silence. Then the headmaster took a deep breath and sat down. He pinched the bridge of his nose and forced his breathing even.

"I gave him a port key"

That got the Headmaster attention once again and he looked at Harry and raised an eyebrow.

"You gave him a port key?"

Harry nodded. The headmaster almost looked like he was back to his normal self. He looked at Harry who now carried a small smile on his face.

"It will bring him outside the main gate"

The headmaster nodded and Harry seemed to calm down a bit.

"He said I couldn't go with him so I made him take it"

Sirius who was quiet during the whole thing finally spoke up.

"Of course you can't go with him! Are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous that is?"

Harry eyes harden and he glared at Sirius.

"I know but I will do everything in my power to protect him"

Sirius stared back not liking what Harry was implying.

"Why? Why would you? Snape has known all along the risk he is taking. There's no need to risk your life as well"

Harry turned around completely facing Sirius.

"I will risk my life for his "

"Why harry? Why do something so stupid?"

Harry eyes turned completely gold and the scent grew stronger and yet it was still sweet.

"Because he belongs to me""

The words left harry lips with a growl and Sirius stared dumbfound at Harry. Remus eye widen in realization. He had been wrong all along. The reason why Harry's wolf reacted only to Snape, the reason why Snape was the only one who was able to bring Harry out of his scare , the sweet smell that now hung heavily mixed in with Harry's , it all made sense now. Sirius snapped out of his trance.

"What did you say?"

Harry stared at Sirius the words slowly sinking in.

"I don't ….know"

Remus looked at Sirius and back at harry. It was obvious that Harry had no idea what was happening.

He stood in front of Harry and opened his arms inviting him for a hug.

"It's alright cub. I understand. Its ok, you don't have to be scared. It's normal for us … for the wolf"

Remus held Harry tightly. He didn't even consider this happening to Harry. With the worries of everything else he never once thought about this. Harry began crying again and Remus tried calming him down with one thought in mind. How do I tell Harry that his wolf has chosen Snape for his mate?

HP~SS~HP~SS~HP

"Kiss me"

Kiss him? Is he crazy? What kind of a joke was that?

"Potter that's not funny, you need to detach yourself immediately. If I'm late he will know something is up."

Harry didn't let go instead he held tighter.

"I'm not joking, I want a kiss, and I don't want you to go"

"Potter …. You're impossible "

Snape once again pried Harry arms from his waist and took a step back putting distance between them. Harry made a motion to go at him again.

"No Harry … stop"

And he did. In mid-step potter stopped and looked at him.

"You called me Harry"

Snape ignored him and scanned the floor quickly spotting his wand and picking it up.

"Honestly being manhandled by the boy who lived"

Harry frowned and instead of Snape turning back to him, he continued to walk out of the infirmary. Harry followed behind.

"Where do you think you're going potter?"

"If you won't stay then am going with you"

Snape suddenly stopped and Harry walked right into his back.

"You can't come"

"I can"

"You won't "

"I will "

Snape closed his hand into a fist and for a brief moment he thought about punching potter out.

"If you go, you will be killed. You're needed to protect everyone here"

"Nah, besides Dumbledore is here he can protect everyone else I want to protect you"

Snape felt his heart skip a beat and a strange sweet smell invaded the air around him. He tried placing a name to it but failed. It was sweet and left him feeling oddly warm. He turned around to face Potter.

"Why protect me? When your family is here?"

Harry closed his eyes and placed a hand over his heart.

"It's strange I have this overwhelming feeling to protect you and I always trust my feelings."

He opened his eyes and Snape frowned. Once again the eyes that meet him were gold and not the lovely green it was suppose to be. Before he realized what he was doing his hand moved to Potter's face and his thumb smoothed over the warm cheek.

"Why is it that your eyes turn gold when you're around me? Do you hate me that much?"

Harry shook his head no and before Snape could question him again he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Snape smiled when he realized that Harry's eyes were green once again.

"Harry I need you to stay"

Harry shook his head no. Snape frowned something was wrong. Normal he would be this way but Potter was doing something to him. What was he going to do about him? His thumb drifted down to Harry's lips when an idea came to him.

"What if I gave you that kiss? Would you listen to me then?"

It was stupid really to offer such a thing especially the way Harry green eyes lit up and he nodded yes.

"Then I promise to give you a kiss once I have returned but you must stay here"

Harry pouted and Severus let his hand drop.

"Why not now?"

"Because knowing you, I give it to you and you would still fight me about leaving"

Harry placed a hand over Severus chest and let his head drop.

"Fine, you win "

Harry felt something hard underneath his hand and he looked up.

"What is that?"

"An amulet"

"You wear an amulet?"

Severus reached into his robes and pulled up a silver chain attach to it a silver serpent.

"Oh how slytherin"

"It wasn't my idea my 7th year students last year pitched in to buy it and gave it to me as a present"

Harry looked at it and crossed his arms across his chest and frowned.

"I don't like it"

"You don't have to like it Potter it belongs to me "

Harry opened his mouth to speak but the wolf interrupted him.

We can use it! To keep him safe. We can give him a way out.

Harry nodded and reached for the serpent. He cupped it between his hands and closed his eyes. Severus stared in wonderment as a light formed in between Harry's hand. Severus noticed how the light travelled out of Harry's hand into the Serpent. The light was warm and Severus looked at harry who had a smile on his face with his eyes closed. Slowly the light died and Harry stumbled back. He fell on his knees, panting. Severus looked down at the serpent and frowned he notice nothing different.

"Whatever you tried didn't work Potter"

He rose to his feet after failing twice and glared at the potion master.

"Give it a minute Severus "

He looked down once again and notices the serpent eyes where green and the serpent body had green stripes across its body.

"You're panting because you changed its color? Honestly Potter you need to train harder"

"It's Harry and …. It's a Portkey"

Severus shook his head.

"You didn't use a spell and you're not authorized to make one "

Harry smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

"So because I didn't say one little word it means I didn't do it? Besides I'm the boy who lived I'm authorized to do whatever I wish"

"Full of yourself Potter?"

Harry shook his head.

"No ….. But what do you want me to say? You aren't leaving me many options and I'm concerned that you won't ….. That you won't …."

"That I won't what?"

Harry hands moved quickly to wipe away the tears that started falling.

"I'm not stupid! I know what you're doing! I know …. You don't plan on returning…. I'm confused and I don't understand it but I thought … if I give you a chance you will …. You will come back"

"Harry …"

Harry took a step back. Severus reached out and grabbed him. Harry trembled and cried. Severus did the only thing he could do he pulled Harry towards him and hugged him.

"Will you stay? "

"I can't"

Harry held onto him and Severus felt confused by what he felt. Harry was very warm between his arms and he wanted nothing more than to stay there. But he had a mission. His life to protect the savior, his life to right a wrong that he committed long ago. Much to his disappointment harry pulled away and smiled up at him. He touched the serpent lightly then motioned for Severus to bend down. Severus bent his head down too away of how close their faces were. Harry grabbed the chain and tucked it into his robe. He rose to the tip of his toes and placed a kiss on Severus forehead.

"Good luck Professor "

"Potter …. I … tell the old man I said sorry"

"It's Harry ….. I'll see you when you get back"

Severus nodded and left. Feeling a pain shoot up his arm he knew he was late and the Dark lord was displeased. He looked back at Hogswart before he apparated. The school had been his home for many years and now he was saying goodbye. He closed his eyes and for a moment he tried to imagine what it would have felt like if he kissed Harry. He smiled. Guess I'll never know. And with a pop he was gone.

HP~SS~HP~SS~HP

Severus didn't know what to expect when he stepped into the meeting. The different scenario played over in his mind and no matter the scene the outcome was the same, he died. But when he did arrive, he realized that he was the last one which was never a good sign. The Death Eaters were in a circle at the front of them sat Voldemort in a throne like chair. The talking stopped and Snape felt all eyes on him. Voldemort stood up and the Death Eaters dropped on one knee. Snape did the same.

"Severus you've arrived "

"I am sorry that I'm late my lord I couldn't get away"

"What held you back? Albus?"

"Yes my lord. He wanted to talk. nothing useful was said but it made it nearly impossible to leave, but here I am my lord".

He walked ever slowly around Snape and stopped in front of him.

"Yes here you are Severus"

Voldemort then move forward quicker than he expected and had one hand gripping his hair back and the other around his throat. Severus vision blurred are a second before he focus it again onto the face of his attacker.

"My l-lord?"

"Am I really your lord Severus?"

"Y-yes "

"Lair! I don't like liars Severus"

The hand around his neck tightened.

"I placed all my hopes in you Severus and this is how you repay me"

The hand that pulled his hair back released him and he blinked. He tried to focus and his vision blurred again as tears began to form. He closed his eyes willing his body to move but found himself frozen on the spot. He opened his eyes and found himself facing the tip of a wand. The green light that started forming at the tip of the wand blinded him. He heard a loud boom before he felt his body hit the floor.

Leave a review I want to know what you guys think.
