Chapter 5
Come back to me love
The first night,Harry had been there the whole night until he went to class.The second night he had gone earlier to the hospital wing
and sat beside Snapes bed watching him. He did not have a breakdown like the previous night
but every now and then a few tears slipped down his face.
He didn't want to realize until now but he had fallen in love with this man. The realizaton had hit him like a lightning bolt
,when he had seen Severus lying on the floor, bleedeing.
Severus had never fussed over him or almost worshipped him like others ,he had treated him like a normal person,
with all his malice and his sarcasm. Even if he had never shown it to anyone ,Snape had been the only one
,never believing Harry to be able to handle everything in this war alone. Severus had always protected him even then....
even if Harry had only seen this in a vision but he knew somehow.He loved this man.
Never in his life had he been so sure aboutsomething.He looked at the figure in the bed, with sad, tearstained eyes.
"Please wake up!“
The fifth night Harry had collapsed on Severus bed,
because he couldnt handle the lack of sleep anymore.
A few hours later he woke again and, with a last glace at Severus,
left the next two nights he didnt stay that long but the last evening he took Snape's hand in his and touched his cheek against it.
Before he left he kissed Snapes fingers and Severus thought he heard a whispered „I miss you!“ but he could be mistaken.
The next night it had taken all of Harrys willpower to stay awake. Severus raised an eyebrow at this and the voice told him.
Qidditchtraining the whole day.´
The next day , it must have been day nine, Harry knelt down beside the bed taking Severus hand and began sobbing.
"Come back! Please wake up already! I need you! Severus please.“
He stood, waiting for the tears to stop, turning around, shoulders slumped and his head hanging , then he left.
A moment before the door closed completely Severus heard a muffeled sob and a suddenly very fast pace of steps.
Harry was running back to his dorm.
Well? What do you think now?´
Snape looked up a bit confused. Right there had been something else.
" Alright the boy is worried and maybe he even feels guilty , god knows why. Potter is worried about everyone and everything !“
Is that so? And you don't think there is more to this?´
"That's ridicoulous not with him!“
Ah but with you right?´
Snape's eyes widened in shock .
"N..“
Wait a second before you try to deny everything .I know your dreams you can't tell me you don't feel anything for this boy.´
"I.....well....but it dosen't matter what I feel....he is“
In love with you!
"Nonsense!“
No? I have also seen his dreams!
The voice giggled amused.
What? Do you say wnat to take a look?
"No!“
It was almost too much for him to hear that the boy could have feelings for him too but also see it.....
Severus, Severus the boy is seventeen, do you really think he is that naiive to dream about candlelight dinners in the moonlight?´
"Pardon?“
I knew it, you want to know! Allrigth I'll show you his dreams.
"No I...“
Be quiet! I have to concentrate!
The screen in the air opened again and Snape saw Harry's dreams.
While he looked at the scenes before him his eyes grew wide and his cheeks looked almost as if he was blushing.
"This ..this ...youre kidding ...this can't be what he...oh my god!“
Ashamed about peaking into the boys most private thoughts, Severus turned away when a really explicit scene played before his eyes.
Oh yes this is what he dreams about, regularly.
And how is your view on life now? Do you want to go back and make the boy happy or do you want to die and let him sink into depression?´
"I .....will go back.“
I do love him after allAh I always knew!
"Damnit stop reading my thoughts!“
Ok,ok I'll now send you back into your body.´
"Oh one thing before I go....“
Snape's face twisted into a grin
"Could I keep this dream in my head as a detailed memory? I'd like to....let's say ...try something.“
Short silence followed but then...
Severus!
"Out of my head immediatly!!!“
Allright! I have to say youre right though, in some way he must have liked your classes!´
"I said sod off, didnt you hear me?“
Well okay then. And now hopefully goodbye at last!´
After these words everything around him went blurry.
