Teddy Bear

Severus was walking quickly through the halls of Hogwarts with the Malfoys, the
Weaselys, and one Albus Dumbledore following him down into the dungeons
and to his chamberdoor. The portrait of the snake also had Salazaar Slytherin
sitting in it, talking, and both characters turned to look at the de-aged Severus.


\"Ahh, Severus. We were wondering when you would be returning. Sipheroth here
was telling me about a boy named Harry Potter who went into your chambers. He
seemed to know your password.\" Salaazar sounded amused. Severus scowled.


\"Shut up and just admit me.\" He growled. The portrait didn\'t move.


\"It seems that he extracted two of your belongings. Your teddy bear that you
never sleep without and your journal. Of course, that potion of yours is missing
as well, so I suspect that he took that as well.\" Salazaar said with a grin. Severus\'s
scowl deepened.


\"I\'m not here to drink the blasted antidote! Besides, Harry well knows that the
antidote won\'t work until my birthday since he has quite obviously read my journal.\"
Severus said. Salazaar and the snake, Sipheroth both blinked at Severus.


\"You knew about this?\" Salazaar asked, the snake hissing along with Silazaar.


\"Of course, you fools. Harry Potter is my mate, as you both well know I am a veela.
Now open up god dammit!\" Severus yelled. The portrait swung open and everyone
walked in. Severus walked from the living room to his personal chambers and his
shouting caused everyone to come running to find out what was wrong.


\"What\'s wrong?\" Dumbledore asked, trying to see what had upset Severus.


\"That damn Potter messed up my room! It\'s a disaster! He messed up my bed, he
got mud all over my floor, and it doesn\'t help that his scent is everywhere! Next time
when I see him, I\'m going to pound him into the ground! Forget a hex!\" Severus
growled, and he stormed over to a cabinent that was locked.


With a wave of his hand, the cabinent unlocked and he reached inside and pulled out
a red glowing orb. He waved his hand until all of the light in room was extinguished
until only the red orb remained the only source of light.


Severus whispered three soft words which no one was able to hear clearly, and suddenly
Severus drop the orb. Everyone was positive that it was going to break, but instead
when it hit the ground, it turned into a large puddle of goo.


The watched as a picture of Harry appeared, his teeth chattering, shivering uncontrollably,
his lips blue. The picture moved away some and the could see Remus lying naked next
to Harry, trying to keep Harry warm. He looked up at Harry and he looked scared again.


\"Harry, wake up! Damn it, why is he so cold? It\'s not cold in here! Harry, wake up! Damnit
Harry! I will not let you die to death from being cold. Damnit! Harry, wake up!\" Remus
began to cry as he tried to get Harry to wake up. \"Harry! Wake up! Severus cannot save
us! He doesn\'t have his memories, he has the body of a teenager, and he hasn\'t even
come into his inheritance yet again!\" Remus yelled. They saw Harry\'s eyes fluttered open
and he smiled weakly, still shivering from the cold.


\"Remus, wouldn\'t it be better for me to die from being cold rather than to have you tear
me apart with your claws and teeth?\" Harry asked, and suddenly shivered violantly. Remus
grabbed Harry and held him as close to his body as possible.


\"It\'s possible that someone may come looking for us!\" Remus whispered as Harry wrapped
his wings around the two of them. \"You need to continue to hope.\" Harry chuckled bitterly.


\"Forget it Remus. Nobody is going to come looking for us. They think you\'re safe in America
with your family, they hink I\'m safe at Hogwarts feeling unwell. They won\'t come searching
for us until after the full moon. And you know what sucks the most?\" Harry said, laughing
angrily.


\"What?\" Remus asked, feeling scared for Harry.


\"i didn\'t even get to be with my mate because he\'s too self conscious about being old and
having a large nose. Severus de-aged himself so I wouldn\'t reject him.\" Harry\'s eyes began
to build with tears. \"He didn\'t trust me enough to give me a choice! He should have figured
that I would love him despite that he\'s older than me. And he didn\'t even give me the chance
to love him and that nose of his. I\'ve loved him for years now. As long as I can remember.
I even remember back when I first saw him.\" Remus was comforting Harry now.


\"Tell me about when you first saw him, Harry.\" Remus whispered. Harry had quit shivering
and his body temperature was rising. Remus had just remembered that a veela\'s body
temperature was related to his or her emotions. Harry had been cold because he had given
into dispair. He was heating up because he was getting angry.


\"I was just a baby. My mom and dad were alive. I remember mom holding me, telling me
about how they were going to have a friend over for dinner, but they put me to bed before
he arrived. I got up in the middle of the night because I was scared. I climbed out of my
cradle and I went into the living room where I could hear mom and dad talking with someone,
and they were laughing. I walked in and I called my mom\'s name, and then I saw him. As
soon as I saw him, I knew immediatly that he was the one I wanted to grow old with. He was
the one that would protect me forever and would love me for me. I remember declaring that
he was mine and I attatched myself to his leg. I remember feeling so safe, and happy, I fell
asleep, and I slept happily. When I woke up the next morning, not only was he gone, but so
was my teddy bear. Mom looked every where for it and dad told me that he would take me
to the toy store to get me a new one. Before he could take me though, Voldemort came. I
didn\'t want teddy after Voldemort came. I wanted Severus. I don\'t remember how I knew his
name, but I remember when I found myself at my aunt and uncle\'s, I wanted my Rus. I kept
asking for my Rus. I cried and cried. I wanted my Rus. After a while, I began to forgot who or
what my Rus was. I only remembered after I red Severus\'s journal.\" Harry was smiling now,
his cheeks still stained with tears.


Severus snapped his hands and the puddled began to come together into the form of an orb
and once it was solid, he walked over and picked it up. Everyone stared at him as he put it
away.


\"Anyone recognize where they were?\" Severus asked, voice choked in pain.
