Chapter 4

Thanks for all the reviews, once again!

Lilith: One of your questions completely made me recheck what I had posted for Chapter 3! It wasn't the whole chapter I had initially wanted! I had left out the whole beginning! The chapter is now edited, so if you hadn't already done so, go back and reread the beginning! Thank Merlin for your questions!

On with the story!

Severus woke and bolted up when he heard the latch on his bedroom door click closed.

“Who is it?” Severus demanded, his voice strong despite having just woken up. Ebony hair fanned out behind him when he spun to encounter the source of a very distinct snicker.

“Harry?”

The figure stepped from the shadows, the wild raven locks and enticing viridian eyes, unmistakable. The angles of the jaw and the broad built signified that the boy had grown into a man and that indicated that Severus regrettably hadn’t been there to see it.

“…Harry?” Once Severus stepped from his bed and toward the figure, he could see the watery grin.

“Sev…”

Severus smiled with relief and happiness at seeing the Gryffindor heir alive and well, at having Harry in his presence once more. Two more steps had Severus enfolding the boy in a tight hug that neither felt comfortable removing themselves from.

Harry’s face remained buried in Severus’ neck, even as Severus asked the reason to why he was here. The raven- haired boy’s reply wasn’t heard as it was muffled and it took all of Severus’ willpower to pull away from the Gryffindor.

“Now what was that, Harry?” The Gryffindor laughed.

“I wanted to see you.” Severus stared incredulously at the heir.

“Well, did anyone see you?” Harry only smirked and held up a silver pendant.

Severus gasped, “Harry! Do you know how dangerous that was.” Harry only shrugged and reached up to clasp the pendant around his neck.

“Harry, you can’t keep that. Draco never takes it off.” Emerald eyes looked at him in amusement.

“I’ll give it back when Gryffindor is ready for the truce. Think of it as a gift of accord.”

Severus shook his head, if he had not known better, he would say that Harry had more of his Slytherin mother in him than the Gryffindor heir led everyone to believe.

Lucius stormed down to the dungeons at the first sight of morning, mere hours after the “break- in”. Stopping outside of the thick door, he raised a fist and pounded on the wooden blockade, his anger almost splitting it in his fury.

A second later, a very disgruntled Severus opened he door, looking about ready to tell off the one who interrupted his peace. Lucius only smirked and lowered his fist.

“If I had known you were busy, I would have shown myself in.” Severus glared, knowing that what the had king said was complete and utter bull. He moved aside and motioned the blonde king inside anyway, shutting the door only seconds before he was assaulted with questions.

“Where is the brat, Severus?” Severus scowled darkly, at the same time looking slightly affronted at the accusation.

“I’m sure I have no idea what you are talking about.”

“Severus, I won’t ask again.”

A soft chuckle interrupted Severus’ next cutting reply and had the king spinning gracefully on his heel to look behind him.

The chiseled, maturing features of the young man in front of him, had him almost gaping. He was standing in the doorway of Severus’ guest quarters and looked to only be clad in black leather trousers and black under- armor, of which looked to be made from a scaly hide. The younger man grinned and stepped into a low, mocking bow.

With a playful growl, Lucius grabbed a handful of Harry’s tunic and dragged the boy into a fierce hug.

“How have you been, Harry?” The grin on Harry’s face only widened and he nodded after he pulled back from Lucius.

“I’ve heard about these Rogue Knights of yours. I trust that they are a step to getting Gryffindor back to its feet?”

Harry just smirked and said nothing. Lucius was about to reprimand him but a sharp rapping on the door had all three men jerking their attention to the person on the other side of the wooden aperture.

They scrambled wildly for a place to hide the “intruder” when Harry suddenly solved their problem by ducking out the window. Hanging by his fingertips from the ledge, Harry’s feet were dangling a few feet short of a score from the ground. Severus cursed, but opened the door, a scowl cemented on his face.

Outside in the stone corridor a guard stood quite obviously breathing hard, looking about ready to burst with information. He bowed quickly with a polite, “Your Majesty” and “Sir” when he saw who he was addressing before stating that there was a Rogue Knight on the loose in the castle.

Lucius bellowed out a fake rage that had Severus silently complimenting the king's acting skills that ordered the capture of said knight at all costs. The guard clamored away and Lucius turned to Severus with a satisfied smirk.

“Knight! Look there he is!”

Gray eyes met black before both men scrambled to the window that Harry had leapt out of earlier. Looking down, they could both see Harry grab a vine that had intertwined itself into the crevices of the stone before dropping to his feet and dashing into the market place of the castle.

“Severus, one day that boy is going to get caught and I have the strongest feeling that he’ll end up charming his way out.”

Severus could only nod because he could only see the truths in the king’s statement.
