Dear Professor... || snarry

16.

harry felt his lover squeeze his hand as they stood outside of Malfoy manor.

"darling if it gets to much I'll take you home in a heartbeat" severus said calmly. before harry could reply severus started walking to the front door. the door opened for him before he reached it and they continued in. harry wraped his free arm around severus' arm and held tightly.

severus stopped outside a room. he looked down at harry and kissed him quickly

"wait here" he whispered and walked into the room.

"excuse me dark lord-" severus said and cut himself off with a quick nod of his head as a greeting

"I think I have found Harry Riddle, hes outside" severus said calmly

"my boy?" bellatrix said, a break in her voice. severus didnt know the woman could even feel emotions. at once the dark lord stood and held his hand out for his wife before following severus out into the corridor where harry was.

"that's harry potter" the dark lord snapped. but bellatrix let go of her husband's hand and walked over to the shaking boy. she grabbed his face softly in her hands and studied his face. she pulled out her wand, Harry's heart jumped but she soon gasped and dropped her wand

"MY BABY" she screamed and pulled harry into her arms. Voldemort stopped what he was saying to severus and watched as his wife burst into tears and held the boy close

"my baby, my baby, my baby" she whispered holding harry as close as she could.

"is that really my son?" the dark lord asked shocked at his wife's behavior

"it's our boy" she cried. severus held in tears at the scene

Voldemort pulled out his wand and copied the hand movement bellatrix had done before, his face dropped

"it's my son" he whispered to himself unbelievably. harry looked at the evil man, into his eyes. and seen nothing but a familiar set of eyes he couldn't recall seeing but remembered vividly.

"let's take him into what used to he his room" bellatrix said. the dark lord nodded. as soon as bellatrix let harry go harry ran to severus and took the mans hand.

"you two are bonded?" bellatrix said. harry hid a little behind severus.

"his memory of us had been locked bella. we need to get him into his room and unlock his memories" Voldemort said.

"I will take the charms that I have placed on myself down when we get there too" he said leading them down the hallway. he stopped outside a door that had "H.T.R" on it.

"harry tom riddle" bellatrix said to harry before opening the door. harry walked in and gasped, the room was awfully familiar. there was a small bed in the corner of the room and on it sat a dark brown teddy bear with one eye, the other had been lost. harry gasped and remembered the bear instantly.

"that's snuggles" harry mumbled but didnt move to hold the teddy. Voldemort smiled and mumbled some words, suddenly he looked overly young, early 30s and had dark brown hair neatly placed on his head.

"sorry, I put those charms up so nobody knows what I really look like" he said. his voice so much softer now. he walked over to the bed and picked up the teddy. he sat on the ground and held it out

"it's okay harry" he said softly and motioned for harry to walk over. bellatrix ran out of the room and soon came back with a potion. but harry ignored that. he was staring at his father and the teddy his father had in his hands. harry slowly let go of severus and walked over. tom (Voldemort) smiled and moved his arms so harry could sit in his lap. harry looked over questionably at severus as if asking if he could or even should go any closer. severus gave a confident smiled. harry sighed and let himself sit in the lap of his father. at once his father hugged him. his mother walked over as severus took a seat on the bed. she smiled and opend the potion

"this should bring your memories back" she said softly and handed the potion to harry. harry nodded and breathed out before tipping the potion down his neck. he screwed his face up at the taste. severus patted Harry's head in a comforting way. harry felt his eyes get heavy and he couldn't help but let sleep take over him.

as soon as harry was asleep severus made the bed bigger and lay harry down before laying beside him. tom and bellatrix left to finish the meeting.

severus played with Harry's hair and took Harry's glasses off. he watched as the younger boy slept. severus couldn't help but worry a little. he knew the dark lord had a child for he was always talking about him. but the hate and anger in his eyes left when he seen harry. harry was the reason for everything.

harry was the reason tom started killing.
harry was the reason bellatrix started going mental.
harry was the reason tom lost trust in almost everyone
harry was the reason that bellatrix and tom were now 'evil' really, they were just grieving the thought of their "dead" son.

suddenly the couple walked back into the room. harry started to wake up not long after. he opend his eyes and looked at severus

"hello darling" severus said calmly and moved some hair from the boys face. harry suddenly jumped up and looked across the room to his parents. he ran across the room and held them tightly.

for the next couple of hours bellatrix, tom and harry sat talking. severus decided this had no place for him and was sat in Tom's library reading a couple of potions books. severus knew he really shouldn't have left harry alone but he wanted to know how long harry could go with out him. this lasted a couple of hours.

suddenly the door opened and in walked harry. he let out a relieved sigh and ran to severus and sat in his lap.

"hello darling-"

"why did you go" harry said, he sounded so close to crying. severus put the book down and wrapped his arms around harry

"I'm sorry.... it just didnt sound like something I should have been there for..."

"I thought you left me" harry whispered, his voice weak.

"I would never leave you my love" severus said softly. they just sat there for a couple more hours holding eachother. suddenly snores came from harry. severus gave a slight sigh and stood up. he walked down the hall way and announced to the Riddles he had to leave before taking a sleeping harry back to his room
