TM Topic 189

If you could have read my mind at that moment, you’d know it definitely wasn’t on the situation at hand.

I was staring Snivellus in the face, unbelievably pissed off with the little arse. “Get the hell out of here, you idiot!” He just stared at me, not moving. I really had better things to think about than saving his life. For one thing, I had lost my trousers on the way to the willow. Being in my skivvies in front of Snivellus was hardly an appetizing thought.

“Get a hold of yourself, idiot!” I tugged at his arm, hoping to get him to move towards the passageway. Personally, I was more worried about what would happen to Moony if he did anything to Snape. Would he be expelled? Put down? I didn’t even want to think about it, and mentally returned to thinking of inventive ways of hexing Sirius when this was all over.

“If you don’t move now, you’re going to get yourself killed.” That finally got him to move, thank Merlin. Once we got to the top of the passage, I looked back towards the shack, pondering going to help Remus. Dumbledore was there already, though, and so we headed off to have a ‘discussion’ in his office.

Dad, I need to talk to you.

[thelionharted.livejournal.com]

Alright. What's up, Harry?

[sayshisname.livejournal.com]

I made Mum cry. I didn't mean to. I just wanted Professor Snape to leave her alone, and then things got all messed up. Sirius got upset too, and I'm just a git, Dad. I don't know how to fix any of it.

*bristles a little, it's an automatic reaction when Snape's mentioned* You're not a git, Harry. What was Sn -- Professor Snape doing to her?

[sayshisname.livejournal.com]

*kicks at the floor with the toe of his shoe* Nothing really. It's just...they're rather close aren't they? They say they're friends, but her post to him didn't feel friendly. And I told them I could see what was happening and I didn't want you to get hurt, but all I got was a lot of denial on what I saw, and being told I was nobody's keeper.

I just got the lot of you back. I don't want to have to say goodbye again, Dad. And I slipped up and told Mum about my tattoo and when she saw it she screamed out a thread about pads cause she forgot he's only nine now too. It was such a mess. A big mess.

[thelionharted.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, kid. I won't get hurt.

*frowns a little* She won't hurt Pads, either, trust me. I'll just -- talk to her, alright? And we'll try to fix all this. It'll be alright.

[sayshisname.livejournal.com]

*looks at him with pleading eyes* And you won't leave either?

*sits down on the floor, drawing his knees up to his chest, wraps his arms around his knees* It's hard, Dad. I..I thought you and Mum were saints, you know. In my head, all those years, you were perfect and mistakes were only made by the rest of us. It's not fair to either of you, I know, but I really don't understand why she cares about him when she already has you.

*looks down* He called her that name again all because of me.

[thelionharted.livejournal.com]

I'd never leave you, Harry.

*sits to hug him close* I -- well. I don't know why she does, either, but I'm biased. And I'm far from perfect. Sirius and Remus could have told you that.

*can't help but frown a little at that* It's alright. Trust me, yeah?

[sayshisname.livejournal.com]

*leans his against his father* Yes, I know that now. But I thought maybe she was. I'm not saying she's wrong. But. *makes a face* How can she not see that Professor Snape wants to be more than her friend? And it feels like...

*shrugs, wraps his arms around his dad, hugging him tightly* Should I apologize to them to them so everyone stops crying and running away?

*smiles a little* I trust you, Dad. Always.

[thelionharted.livejournal.com]

I knew there was a reason I never liked him.

*hugs back, tightly* --You should, yes. I'm not sure how much good it'll do, but it's worth a try.

Good. *ruffles a bit and grins*

[sayshisname.livejournal.com]

He's complicated, but I apologized to him, Mum and Sirius.

*smiles brightly* I love you, Dad.

[thelionharted.livejournal.com]

Good.

*grins* Love you too, Harry.
