Chapter 12
"Is he gonna be alright?" Harry asked worriedly.
Severus had went straight to Dumbledore after he'd seen colin Creevey. Dumbledore had examined the boy and had said he was merely petrified and not to worry. He and McGonagall were now carrying him on a stretcher and Severus and Harry were trying to keep up.
"He'll be just fine, Harry." Dumbledore said.
Harry didn't quite believe this. Dumbledore had a habit of sugaring everything up and making like it would be fine. He looked expectantly at Severus.
"He'll be fine," Severus still regretted having yelled at the boy that morning, but he wasn't sure whether now was the time to discuss it.
"Sev, I'm sorry about earlier-"
"No, Harry, it was my fault and mine alone. You don't need to apologize. I'm sorry, Harry. I'm mad at Dumbledore, not you."
"Sorry if I'm being a bit nosy sir, but why are you mad at him? Is it...is it because of me?" Harry looked guiltily at him.
"No, Harry. Merlin's beard, why must everything be your fault, Harry James Potter?" Severus snapped irritably.
"Sorry, Sev-"
"No, quit apologizing. That was my fault again. Sorry Harry. This whole Chamber of Secrets buisness has me stressed out."
"Sorry you're stressed, Sev. Anything i can do for you?"
Severus pondered a moment, and then nodded.
"There is one thing. Go down to my Potions lab and get me a Headache Remedy. My potions are in alphabetical order so you should find it in no time. Then bring it to me. I think that'll help."
"Kay, sure you'll be allright?"
"Of course I'll be allright, Harry. Of course I will."
