A different kind

Harry didn\'t notice when Poppy and Whitestone left, but he noticed when Severus forced himself to stand up and walk over to him. Severus laid down on the bed next to Harry, and Harry did what he had always wanted to do, he cuddled up to Severus and put his arms around him. Severus surprised him by doing the same. Harry and Severus laid like that, both of them silent.

\"Am I dreaming? I can\'t be dead because I hurt too much.\" Severus whispered.

\"If you\'re dreaming, then I must be too.\" Harry whispered back, tears in his eyes. Severus placed a gentle kiss on Harry\'s lips.

\"I\'m feeling better now than I have in years.\" Severus informed him. Harry smiled.

\"I\'m glad, Severus. I\'m glad.\" Harry whispered.

\"Harry, I love you so much. When they told me that you had died, I refused to believe it. I searched every where for you, but I couldn\'t find you. Finally, I gave up. I\'m sorry Harry. I\'m so sorry. I shouldn\'t have given up.\" Severus whispered, close to tears. Harry soothed him.

\"It\'s alright Severus. It\'s alright. What happened to you?\" Harry whispered. Sverus gazed at him with eyes filled with such sadness, pain, sarrow, and happiness that it tore Harry\'s heart out.

\"I tried to kill myself.\" He whispered sadly. \"If you were dead, I was going to the after life to find you.\" Severus explained. Harry felt appaled.

\"Severus, I never want you to try and commit suicide again. I love you. I love you more than life itself, but I can\'t be with you right now. Not until after Voldemort is dead.\" Harry told him, holding him close. Severus tightened his grip on Harry.

\"I don\'t want you to leave, Harry.\" Severus whispered softly.

\"I\'m not leaving, Sev. I\'ll always be near.\" He whispered, kissing Severus on the forehead. \"But I need you to make a promise to me, alright Sev?\" He whispered. Severus scowled at him.

\"When did I give you permission to call me \'Sev\'?\" Severus demanded. Harry chuckled.

\"The moment you stole my heart.\" He replied. Severus tried to scowl but didn\'t win.

\"That was overly romantic, Mr. Potter.\" Severus growl, slipping back into his bastard self. Harry chuckled again.

\"Shut up Severus. I need you to make me a promise.\" Harry said softly. Severus waited for a moment before he agreed. \"Severus, I need you to make me a promise. I need you to promise me that you won\'t tell anyone that you saw me.\" Harry whispered. Severus stared at him.

\"But everyone\'s-\" He began but burst into a coughing fit and Harry quickly redid the breathing charm that was helping Severus breath.

\"Shush now Severus.\" Harry\'s mind scrambled and then it rested on his only solution. It saddened him to have to do this, but he had to and he knew it. \"I need you to go back to sleep.\" Harry whispered softly. Severus began to relax into the bed, Harry\'s words had been inforced with magic. \"But I need you to remember this, Severus. There\'s a cottage in this location.\" Harry whispered the location in Severus\'s mind, enforcing the words in Severus\'s mind with magic, making sure that he would never forget, but he wouldn\'t be able to pull the knowledge of this location until Harry was either a) Dead or b) said \"The Hollow Heart is filled.\"

Severus sunk into the most restful rest that he had had in years. Harry used the occlumency that he had mastered while he was away and shifted through Severus\'s mind. He discovered his drinking problem and was saddened by it. He used his magic and made it so that Severus could only stand one glass of alcohol a night for one month, and then the next month he could have two, and so on and so forth.

Finally, he altered the memory of Severus finding out that he was alive. This was hard magic and it tired Harry greatly, and it would also bind him to Severus for three years. It was why few people who was powerful enough to perform such magic rarely even did it, but it was something that Harry was willing to do because he was truly worried about Severus\'s being.


Whitestone walked in just as he was finishing, Poppy walking behind her. Whitestone gasped in horror and ran to Harry\'s side. Harry finished up and his head fell back against the sheets, gasping greedily for air, his entire body shaking and sweating, and his chest hurt painfully so. Poppy was checking on Severus, finding that he was actually doing better than he had been before.

\"Green Eyes, that was a downright foolish thing that you did! You\'re not even healed yet! Oh no! Poppy, get Severus off of the bed right now! Harry\'s having another one!\" Whitestone cried. Severus was instantly transfered back to his bed while the two girls began to work on him.

SilverFang now had to walk around with a cane. As it had turned out, he had in fact had, had two heart attacks. One almost killed him and the second one was very minor. But he could no longer walk very well. He had to lean heavily on his cane. McGonagall too had starting using her cane as well, apparently attempting to make SilverFang feel better about having to use a cane now. SilverFang never really paid attention, his attention was elsewhere these days.

Since Valentines day was approaching, many kids had been sending him gifts, love letters and such, from boys and girls alike. He was beginning to get flustered. Finally, one day in their private quarters while GoldFeather and SilverFang played chess and Whitestone quietly read a book, three owls flew into the room and one deposited a basket full of candy and a letter, and the other two dropped love notes. SilverFang threw his hands into the air.

\"Why would anyone bother to send me anything? I\'m not attractive! I\'m not smart! I\'m not sexy! I\'m these kids\' professor! Why would they bother to send me any of these things since it\'s obvious that it will never lead any where because it\'s against the rules and law!\" SilverFang cried. Whitestone laughed softly.

\"Silly Green Eyes, it\'s not against the rules. The rules state that as long as the student you\'re involved with is not in any of your classes, then a relationship can take place. You could take any of these students as a lover!\" She explained. SilverFang scowled and GoldFeather chuckled.

\"And you are attractive, and you are smart, and you are sexy. If you weren\'t, I don\'t see how you could have banged so many people back at Master\'s.\" GoldFeather pointed out. SilverFang paused and gave him a sexy smiled.

\"Why Dragon Tamer, I never knew you looked at me that way. Maybe I could show you a new kind of love-making than the one you\'re used to with Obsidian?\" He asked seductively, batting his eyelashes as GoldFeather. GoldFeather gagged and Whitestone laughed.

\"Calm it down, Green Eyes. You have more of a chance with me than you do with him, and you have more of a chance with Dumbledore than you do with me.\" Whitestone said with a smile. SilverFang gagged and there was a knock on the door. GoldFeather, laughing, got up to answer it.

\"That was sick, wrong and twisted in so different ways that I can\'t even come back with a suitable insult!\" SilverFang snapped at her. Suddenly, she grinned like a maniac.

\"Why hello, Professor Dumbledore!\" She said cheerefully. SilverFang spun around and saw him standing there and had to bite down on his tongue to keep from laughing.

\"Let me at the bastard!\" A scream erupted from outside of their quarters and SilverFang craned his neck to see GoldFeather wrestling with Sirius, who looked like an enraged veela. \"I\'m going to kill you! You\'ve taken my daughter away from me! You\'ve taken my mate away from me! Now I\'m going to take your life away from you!\" Sirius screamed. SilverFang glanced at Dumbledore.

\"He found out?\" He asked the obvious.


\"Yes. He unfortunately discovered where they were and he discovered your little trick. He wasn\'t pleased. Remus unfortunately informed him that it was your doing.\" Dumbledore explained cooly, ignoring Black\'s screams. SilverFang had forgotten about Sirius, but now he knew what he had to do.

\"GoldFeather, carry him outside. It\'s past curfew, yes?\" He asked. Dumbledore nodded as GoldFeather siezed Black in a hold that rendered him useless until GoldFeather released him. \"Good. Then no students will witness this. Dumbledore, please return to your quarters. We\'re only going to chat.\" SilverFang told him sweetly. Dumbledore knew exactly what was going to take place, but he knew that he should stay out of this, but he wanted to make sure that SilverFang wouldn\'t damage Sirius. GoldFeather was already gone with Sirius.

\"Albus, don\'t worry.\" Whitestone said with a small smile, standing up from her seat. \"SilverFang unfortunately gets involved with situations just like these all the time. He normally puts the spouse and child out of reach of the abusive spouse, but not so far out of reach that they cannot see their loved ones. When the abusive spouse finds that he is the culprit of his missing spouse and child, SilverFang allows the abusive spouse to take his anger out on him. Once the abusive spouse is too tired to continue, he asks them \'See what you have done to me? This is what you have done to those whom you love. You see the injuries that you have placed upon me and you do this to the ones you love. You hate me, yet you do the same thing to the ones you love. To your children, to your husband or wife. I wouldn\'t be surprised if they hate you.\' then he pauses to wait for them to absorb what he has said and then he says, \'But they don\'t hate you. They love you. They will take you back if you get help and over come your problem, but only after you have over come your problem will they come back, but if you hit them again, or do anything as you have done to me to them again, they will leave, perminantly. It\'s in your hands now.\' and then he leaves them to their own devices for the rest of the night.\" Whitestone explained. Dumbledore nodded and left. SilverFang had left while Whitestone had spoken.
