Last time...





Eater cloak and mask. The headmaster came to stop before the collection convoy. Cool blue eyes ran over the boy saviour before they widened in understanding. The boy had wings, having only been conjured by one course of action it wasn\'t hard for the headmaster to understand what he was seeing. Well, this certainly complicated things.



A sudden gasp of pain had the potions master grasping his left forearm, earning more scowls from Harry\'s collection party. "Headmaster" Snape gritted his teeth against the pain. Dumbledore quickly gauged his options before turning a sad smile on the potions master. "You tried Severus, I know that. Come, my dear boy, let\'s get him safely inside. I dare say this is not the worst that might have come from this situation". Snape sneered again, but it was half hearted at best. One of the Aurors stood forward to relieve him of his burden. Snape turned his sceptical eyes to the headmaster who smiled a genuine smile. Snape snorted before he unloaded the boy roughly into a waiting Aurors arms, startling the man with his sudden load. The headmaster chuckled before leading the way towards the school and out of the forest. Somethings never changed. He turned his eyes to young unconscious boy in the Aurors arms and frowned. On the other hand, many things would...



--------------------------------------------------------------------------





Harry drifted into consciousness reluctantly. His body felt like it had overnight developed a hundred different aching muscles to accommodate his new wings. He opened his eyes to slits and heard a hushed hum of voices from the corner of the room he was in.



He tried to stir and his world exploded in pain that caused him to see a kaleidoscope of colors behind his eyelids. He groaned involuntarily and tried not to jar his throbbing muscles again. His lower spine felt like it was splintered and it sent shock waves of pain up his back and across his shoulder blades. As the haze of pain cleared Harry became aware of a satisfying tingle that spread through the rest of his body, he sighed in bliss and a low contented rumble started in his throat. Unconcerned about the fact he was purring, in his sated state, Harry by no means noticed the drone of voices that stopped nor the busy bustle of fast approaching feet as the small crowd of people approached his bedside.



"Harry? Harry honey are you awake?" those timid tones sounded familiar. He cracked his eyes open again to stare up into a blurred red stain. Instantly, red predatory eyes flashed through his memory and a spitting hiss erupted from his mouth starling however was over him into backing away hastily.



He tried to sit up but found two sets of solid hands braced against his chest, holding him down. In the next moment his jaw was forced open before a glass vile was squeezed between his teeth and a bitter potion was oozing its way down his throat. Harry recognized the tang of the calming drought on his taste buds and sighed in relief as it began to work through his system. Somebody placed Harry\'s glasses on his nose and opening his slightly glazed over eyes again he looked up into the newly cleared faces of Mrs and Mr Weasley, Snape and Professor Dumbledore. Harry smiled dozily up at them before he snapped back to consciousness. Despite the calming drought, Harry\'s stomach made a violent twist as bile ran up his throat.



Seeing the look of horror come into Harry\'s eyes, Professor Snape grasped Harry by the collar and pulled him into a sitting position before conjuring a basin for him to alleviate his stomach into. Harry\'s\' wings rustled noisily behind him and his body shook as he heaved aggressively. With every heave he folded his wings closer to his body until eventually the vomiting stopped and he found himself cocooned inside a wall of feathers. He was still shaking in the aftershock of his stomach\'s earlier rebellion before a loud rustling sounded and a sputtering professor Snape wrestled his way through the thick black feathers. Snape raised his wand and the basin disappeared. Harry nodded gratitude before he started at the dense, inky black forest around them. He sent the professor a sheepish look before he released the two of them from their feathery prison.



Once Harry freed them the room came back into view. White washed walls, crisply pressed sheets and blue gurneys surrounded him. Harry sighed as he realized he in Hogwarts infirmary. He turned hesitant eyes towards the Headmaster and saw the old man was frowning in quiet contemplation. Madam Promfrey busied herself around them performing medical scans with a swish and flick of her wand and taking notes down on a notepad. Harry glanced up at who offered him a wry smile, his eyes saddened. Harry wondered how much they knew. He glanced up then at the dark scowling professor Snape and seeing the black cloak and white mask in the professor\'s hand, Harry, paled awfully and felt the bile threatening to make reappearance. He turned his stony gaze to his messy bed sheets. How much did Snape know? Oh Gods, had he been there, had he seen what that monster had done to him? Harry clenched his hands into fists when he heard a soft exclamation from Madam Promfrey.



"Harry," Professor Dumbledore\'s\' voice began, his tone was temperate and grievous "Before we begin here, I feel it prudent that you should know that whatever is discussed in this room shall not leave this room. We are here for you, my boy, in whatever way you should need us".



Harry wrapped his arms around his chest and nodded to show he understood. Dumbledores eyes dulled seeing the defensive gesture for what it was. He sent a knowing glance towards Mr and Ms Weasley.



"Albus" Mr Weasley nodded "I need to get going, Fudge-"



Dumbledore nodded and Mr Weasley attempted to pat harry on the back to offer the boy some comfort, withdrawing when he saw Harry\'s\' slight flinch. Molly smiled at him warmly "I\'ll see you soon Harry. Maybe we can arrange for you to spend the remainder of your holidays with Arthur and I at the burrow. I know Ron is anxious to see you safe". The thought of leaving the grounds sent a jolt of panic through him but Harry smiled to some extent at the Weasley matriarch who nodded satisfied and turned to leave. Harry turned his eyes to the two remaining Professors in the room as Madam Promfrey handed Dumbledore the medical chart and excused herself to the back office. The blue eyes narrow forebodingly at the chart before him and Harry shivered slightly at how cold his headmaster looked in that moment.



Dumbledore gestured with his wand and summoned two chairs from across the room. Snape sent the chair a dirty look and didn\'t oblige. "Harry, you should know that Professor Snape was called tonight. He knows what transpired so we may talk freely around him". Snapes familiar sneer settled upon his thin lips and Harry felt sick. Snape had been there. Had he been to one that rescued him then? The thought made his stomach twist. Before Harry could speak out against Snapes\' presence, however Dumbledore held up a hand to stop him. "In this, Harry, I must insist. Professor Snape was present and thus may be able to fill us in on what happened tonight".



Harry nodded before a thought struck him. Harry looked up in horror at blue eyes.



"Sir, please. Am I p- pre" "Pregnant?" Harry blanched, a beat passed before Dumbledore nodded.



Harry felt the weight of it all crashing down upon him and felt light headed all of a sudden. A steadying hand on his shoulder had Harry look up in surprise at Snape who held out another calming drought. Harry shook his head feebly before the hand and vile were withdrawn. "What happens now?" He whispered.



Dumbledore turned his eyes to Snape and Harry felt his heart pick up pace as something passed between the two. Snape turned obsidian eyes back on Harry before holding out the vile once again. Harry took it and realized what he had mistaken for the violet of a calming drought had a pearly sheen to it. Snape, who was watching him saw the comprehension on his features and shifted uncomfortably.



"It\'s Felis Liberache, Potter, an abortion potion". Harry stared at the potion gripped between his two hands in something akin to shock. His fingers traced the vile and he looked up at the dark haired professor. Snape raised an eyebrow studiously taking in the boys quiet reaction as Harry continued to gape up at him oblivious to the \'cure\' he held.



"It\'s most effective between twelve and twenty four hours after procreation when conception has occurred but the body has yet to comprehend it" Snape continued, when no response came. "It has an assortment of side effects ranging from mild nausea to fever. It\'s more often than not reliable in Wizards but you are no longer a Wizard par say so you may in the course of some time, display more severe adverse reactions, thus why you are present in the hospital ward. I dare say it\'s going to a rather uncomfortable night for you Potter".



Harry had listened carefully through the diatribe and now felt himself shaking from head to foot. The soft rustling behind him of his feathers drew his awareness.



"What about the wings? They\'ll go too right?"



"No Harry," Professor Dumbledore shook his head, long beard trailing his lap. "The wings were part of your Incubus Puberty-" Ignoring Harry\'s\' color reddening he continued on "They are a permanent accessory but in light of your situation I think we had better find a way to disguise them from the rest of the students".





-------------------------



It was two nights more before Harry was released from the hospital wing. Professor Dumbledore had returned twice with Snape to discuss his options. So far they had nothing. Harry knew it wouldn\'t be long before the students arrived back and when that happened he also knew he was in real danger from the students who dwelled in the dungeons. Harry sat on the hospital bed and dangled his legs. He couldn\'t wait to be relieved of the white washed walls after what the potion had brought on in his latest stay to the ward and vaguely Harry wondered if Snape had poisoned. He refused to let himself think of it as anything other than sickness, not sure whether he\'d ever be able to face what had happened to him.



Currently Harry was waiting for Snape to escort him to the headmasters office. Dumbledore had sent word earlier by note to inform him that Snape would collect him by eight. The clock tower rang out eight o\'clock from beyond the open infirmary window and on cue Snapes black form hovered at the doorway. Harry half wondered if Snape had been waiting outside for the precise moment to appear. He stood up and wobbled slightly, still not used to the new weight of the feathered appendages behind him, and made his way for Snape. The black robed professor saw him coming and gestured for Harry to walk ahead of him. It seemed to take forever to make it to the stone gargoyle guarding the winding staircase upwards but the silence was oppressive. At long last as the guardian shifted to the side to allow them pass harry reached up and laid a hand on his professor\'s forearm. Snape looked down before sneering "Potter kindly remove yourself from my pers-"He stopped his cutting remark when he looked at the boy to find his eyes downcast and his form ramrod straight.



"Thank you" it was a quiet whisper. Snape didn\'t bother asking the boy to elaborate, he knew the boy was thanking him for rescuing him once again from Voldemorts clutches and the boy didn\'t wait for him to acknowledge his response as he stepped up the stone steps.



Harry returned down the stairs and waited beside the gargoyle as Dumbledore had asked him to. He felt tired and drained of emotion. The last hour had been a volatile period of time in which more than one opinion was vented and more than once Harry had found himself hanging on the end of Snapes last tether. It had been decided that since Harry was still a target he would have to be hidden away from those who might try to harm him or slip him a port key. Nobody had said the Slytherins in name but Snape had sneered in response anyway. Since Harry\'s body was still adapting to the abortion his thrall had not yet returned and it was decided he was not a threat to the students and thus safe to remain in the school. Dumbledore had expressed concern however about what were to happen when the thrall did return, under the opinion that Harry could not be trusted with his own safety. He explained that now that Harry had submitted to Voldemort, he would feel inclined to do so again. Harry had gone quiet at that point muttering under his breath about never having submitted to anyone.



So here he was now, waiting for Snape to take him to his new quarters in the staff residence, an area of the school warded off from the student body in which the professors of the school were housed inside their individual lodgings. He would stay inside at all times unless otherwise escorted by a member of staff. He would endure training with Snape daily in the room of requirement to strengthen his flight muscles should he find himself needing them to escape a sticky situation, otherwise Snape was to supply him with a potion, made from his feathers that would hide the wings from the schools populace. Dumbledore had explained to Harry to genius of it really. When he took the potion, every few hours or so they would become not only invisible to those who didn\'t know of their existence but those individuals could neither see nor touch the appendages.



The scraping of stone on stone gave way to Snape, who with an irked twitch of his head gestured for Harry to follow him before he proceeded to stride down the corridor robes billowing behind him and leaving the aerodynamically hindered Harry to catch up. As it turns out they didn\'t have far to go. They walked to the main hallway of Hogwarts castle. Moving down the staircase Harry could see the main entrance to the castle in front of him, and the massive doors which led to the Great Hall on the left. Snape ignored either route and change direction off to the right, Harry thought he was heading for the corridor which led to the dungeons but Snape stopped instead in front of the four giant hour glasses that were perched to the side of the dungeon corridor. Each hourglass held the different color grains of sand that showed how well each house was doing in the race for the house cup. Currently all were level.



They moved behind the hour glasses to the wall behind and Snape raised and waved his wand. Before them another door appeared, so dark in color that it was almost nigh impossible to see. "The staff residence corridor\' Snape drawled \'you are not to bring anyone in here, nor are you to reveal where this entrance is. It is heavily charmed to cloak itself and anyone entering it from the eyes of this school and we would prefer it stayed that way".



The door opened up to a narrow passageway which was lit by torch light. The walls were covered in moss and Harry hugged his wings tighter to his body to prevent slime from taking up residence in the clean black feathers.



They passed various doors and must have walking for a full five minutes before finally coming to a halt at the end of the passage at two identical black doors on either side of them. Snape gestured to their right. "My personal quarters, should you find yourself in need of assistance, and I stress Potter that it should be dire, you may find me here when I am not in classes" he then gestured to the left door. "Your quarters are here. No doubt you will already find all of your belongings inside. You are not to leave this corridor for any reason unless escorted, you are not to disturb me unless it is of utmost importance and you are not, and I stress bring your friends to this part of the school. If you find you must see them however, you may use the floo in your private quarters to contact them".



Harry who had stayed silent throughout Snapes explanations nodded and turned to enter his room.



Harry turned around in time to see Snape extend a robed arm. In his hand was a vile which he shook impatiently when Harry hesitated to take it. He then gave Harry one last sneer and entered through his door slamming it behind him. Harry still rather taken aback by it all turned his eyes to the dreamless sleeping drought in his hands. A memory of another vile entered his thoughts and deciding those thoughts weren\'t safe yet Harry turned and entered his new rooms.





-------------------------------





"Potter, come down here at once!" Snapes\' sharp tones cut through the roaring wind whipping against Harrys ears as he came in for yet another slapdash landing. This was the third day of their training in the room of requirement, the students were due to return in a week and Snape was still attempting to teach the boneheaded Gryffindor some poise and grace. Currently they stood in what appeared to be a field, the so called Gryffindor had found. It had been a stroke of brilliance really, suggesting the room of requirement but being Severus Snape he was disinclined to associate that genius with a Potter.



The dark obsidian eyes watched as the boys\' unearthly and unsteady form came closer to the ground. The form drew back out of a dive and the considerable black wings snapped out and yanked him back hastily. Harry tried to level up just like Snape had drilled him to do but a stray blast of air had him veer off course. Snape\'s eyes widened marginally as Harry changed trajectory rapidly and came hurtling directly for him with a cry of \'look out!\'. Snape about-faced and scrambled to get out of the way but it was too late.



Harry slammed into his professors back with such force it knocked the breath out of them both and sent them crashing down in a swirl of black robes and muddy feathers. It took a few seconds before Harry regained enough of his composure before turning startled eyes down on his professor. Snapes\' eyes were closed and a hiss of pain escaped his lips as he opened the black spheres to give Harry a thorough tongue lashing. He iced up as he took in the feral facade of the Incubus. Harry\'s eyes blazed an ethereal emerald and Snapes eyes darkened even further. He could feel the unexpected warmth of the boy\'s body and the solidity of the lean figure pinning him to the soil. He brought his hands up to drive the boy off of him as gasped in disbelief as his lips were suddenly claimed in a bruising kiss. At first he lay there in astonishment before he felt the boys hands travel down his sides and a hard length pressing up against his thigh and with a grunt shoved at the boy\'s chest. Potter growled into his mouth and if possible pressed himself down harder on the now very aroused and angry Severus Snape.



How dare he?! Snape snapped and with an animalistic howl launched the boy backwards who ended up in a none to graceful mound at his feet.



Snape stood up instantaneously over the boy, wand poised and prepared should the creature assault him yet again. He felt marginally relieved when Potter seemed to stir from his daze and stared up at his professor in alarm. Snape gnashed his teeth in dissatisfaction. This did not bode well for them.
