Disclaimer: I still do not own the most awesome, most epic Harry Potter

A/N; Howdy! I would like to dedicate this next chapter to MermaidGirl34 and anyone else who reviews!

This chapter is also in honor of SUMMER VACATION! EVERYBODY CHEERS!

Here is chapter 6

In his hands he held the two most important things left in my existence. He held the end of a letter from Lilly and a picture of Lilly laughing.

"Tell me where he is NOW, or," he held hiss wand to the corner of the picture and singed it with a spell "or, it burns." I knew what I had to do. Let him burn the papers and save the Potter brat.

"Go ahead, burn them." I said. It was a little difficult to keep my voice straight, but the Occlumens skills helped a lot. I was able to keep my face strait as the precious ashes fluttered to the floor in a dusty heap. Then, to add to our disrespect, both mine and Lilly's, he stomped on the soot. He looked down on me and sneered.

"If you will not tell then I see no need to keep you around any longer." Then he started hissing and a long, green, ugly Nagini slithered through the half open door. Her pink fangs licked her toxic white fangs and she stared hungrily at me. I only understood the next phrase because I heard it several times before.

"Kill, Nagini." And she pounced at me. I flinched waiting for the bite but there was none. A flash lit in front of my eyelids.

"Intruders!" Voldemort screeched I opened one eye after the other to see the three from the first meeting, the 'new recruits'. Well as it turns out I was wrong. 'It seems The Order has come to my rescue', I thought. One by one lights flashed and spells were fired in all directions. Miraculously I was not hit by a stray curse sitting in one place as I was.

"Can you stand?" a voice sounded by my left ear. I turned to see none other than Remus Lupin. I tried only to have my left leg give out from under me.

"Crutacious Curse?" He asked. I nodded. It appeared to have done some serious nerve damage to my body in general, but nothing a potion couldn't fix nonetheless. I Put an arm around his shoulder and he helped me up from the floor.

"You might want to hold on tight, Severus." My grip around him tightened and we Apparated to #12.

It was raining when we arrived an there was not a sound as we snuck into the building. I plopped down on a chair in the kitchen. I have no clue how they heard is but next thing I knew there was loud thumpiong from the stairs as Mrs. Weasley, Ron, Hermione, and Potter along with Pomfrey came Hustling into the small room.

"Thank goodness everyone's alright." Said Hermione.

"Are Moody and Fred back yet?" Asked Mrs. Weasley.

"Here we are!" Said Fred as he made his way to the front. Moody chose to stay somewhere near the back.

"How did you know where to find me?" I asked.

"Well, It's kind of a long story, Professor. You see, Ron and I, we were waiting for news of Harry to see if he was alright. When he arrived here with the others he was."

"Yeah," and Ron continued "so Harry went upstairs and I told Hermione I would grab a bite to eat." Hermione glared at Ron "Then all of the sudden we hear screaming from upstairs, so Hermione and I went to investigate."

Harry continued "I was having a nightmare. I told the Order that I had a feeling you had been captured, and I was right."

"Harry saved your life Severus." Lupin stated.

A knock sounding at the door woke Severus out of his delirium. He jumped as the door opened to reveal a young, familiar couple.

"We're home Severus." Harry said. Ginny took off her high heels and Harry ruffled his rain drenched hair after he closed the umbrella. Ginny struggled with her raincoat and hung it on the coat hook.

Severus led the parents up to the children's room where they were all in a deep sleep.

"Oh Severus, I hope they weren't too much trouble."

"Oh no, just the boys, just like their father." Harry glared an 'are you kidding me' at his old Potions Professor. The professor snickered as they sauntered back down the stairs. Ginny paused half way down the stairs to announce that she was going to get ready for bed. She thanked Severus before leaving to shower.

"You should tell them more about Hogwarts, Harry." Snape said.

"You bet I do. It was my favorite place in the world, but I think we both agree that Lilly's still a little too young for magic." Snape smiled, remembering the bubbly little toddler. A shower began to run, reminding the two war heros that it was getting late, and they had their lives to attend to.

"I guess this is goodbye then." Severus said.

"You can come visit us and the kids any time you like you know." Severus thought for a moment. He just might take him up on that offer. Living in a house with nothing but a pet fish could get a little depressing at times. He nodded curtly. Funny how kids grow up so fast. It was unfair that Harry never really had a childhood at all. Most of his life he carried a weight on his shoulders that would crush most men. Severus turned to look at Harry before speaking.

"Harry, remember that time when you sent the Order after me and saved my life, even after all of my meanness?"

Harry wondered where he was going with this.

"Yes?"

"Thankyou, Harry. I owe you one." And with that he walked out the door into the dark rain, headed for home.
