Sirius!

Sirius!

Sirius!

Sirius!

Harry sat up in bed shaking. His fist stuffed in his mouth to keep from screaming. His chest was raising and falling as tears poured out of his eyes. He finally calmed down and lay back down still crying. He looked at his clock. Two hours he'd gotten two hours of damn sleep and they were probably going to load him down with all sorts of chores again and he was running down.

His door burst open and his uncle came in.

"I've had enough of you!" Harry let out a whimper as he was thrown on to the floor and beat. His uncle had been drinking again. "Everything is your damn fault! I've talked to that damn Headmaster of yours! He told me about all the deaths you caused! " Harry grunted as his uncle sat on him and ripped his shirt off. He held in his screams as his uncle began carving up his back. He bit down on his lip until it bled and he cried harder only silently. " You deserve to die!"

It's true. Harry thought to himself It's my fault. Sirius Cedric, Mum, Dad. All of those people died because he wanted me.

Harry was coughing blood when his door burst open in a burst of light.

Lucius Malfoy walked into the boys room with three other death eaters.

"Get that man off of him!" he yelled, and rushed to the boy. "Potter! Potter can you hear me?"

"Mr. Mal-foy."

"That's right." Lucius said, "i'm going to do my best to close some of these wounds."

"Uh huh." Harry nodded, and regretted it. " Why are you helping me? He wants me dead."

"No he doesn't . " Lucius whispered pulling the boy up and helping him downstairs. " It'll be okay, we're going to play with your family then take you to him. He wont hurt you. "

Harry watched them torture his family and felt nothing. Until one knelt at his side. There were at least eight of them in all. This Death Eater pushed Harry down on the floor and began undoing his pants. Harry began fighting. The guy hit him a few good ones.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Lucius yelled, "You want kiddy dick screw his cousin!"

Harry felt something be shoved in his mouth. He tried to open his mouth but the man covered it.

"Swallow." the guy hissed, it was Voldemort. Lucius froze he and Harry were the only one's to hear the Parseltonuge. "This will take you to your soul mate. A person who will protect you from Dumbledore and everyone else."

Harry fought and fought but in the end swallowed. His body felt on fire . He passed out

"Potter!" a familiar voice called, "Potter! Come on, Potter wake up!"

Harry groaned as his eyes opened. Sure enough he was staring up at Severus Snape.

"You?" he asked weakly " He said it would take me to my soul mate..."

Severus blinked then frowned he sat down next to the healing boy.

"Who said that?"

"Voldemort. " Harry replied hazily. " He and Malfoy and some others came to the house. Uncle was hurting me real bad this time and Malfoy stopped him. They rapped Auntie and Dudley and was torturing them. Voldemort pushed me down and pretended he was going to rape me I didn't know it was him until he spoke Parseltonuge neither did Malfoy. He just wanted me to open my mouth then he pushed some kind of plant mush into my mouth and said it would take me to my soul mate a person who would protect me from Dumbledore and everyone else. It brought me to you... "

Severus sighed he'd expected something because he'd been told to expect something to happen that day but never this. He felt the urge to kiss the child.

"I've been healing you for two days, Potter."

"Thank you, sir." He looked at the man. "Can I confess something?"

"If you must."

"I love you." Severus froze half way to the door. "I have since I first met you. You never treated me like a damn Golden Boy you treated me like you treat the rest of Slytherin. You pushed and I hid. I hid how smart I am, how strong I am, everything. I don't want to fight. I never have. You're sexy as hell and your voice. Merlin your voice... I just thought I'd let you know..."

Harry heard the door close and began crying silently again. He spotted Hedwig in her cage which was open next to an open window he then spotted his trunk and all his things at the bottom of the bed. His glasses were on the night stand but he hadn't needed them since he'd broken the binding on his powers.

"He didn't say anything back, girl." Harry scoffed getting up he went to his trunk and found his quill sharpener. " I should have known... no one loves me... I'm gonna leave now okay? I want you to stay with him... " Harry swallowed and held the sharpener to his wrist he cut deep over and over up and down his left arm until he was light headed and couldn't hold it anymore. The door opened and Snape came running toward him. "Love... you... bye..."

Darkness swallowed him once more the last thing he heard was the man he loved yelling his first name.

Severus cursed over and over as he quickly got the bleeding stopped and wrapped the arm. He then spelled blood replenishers and the nutrient potions he'd been giving Harry for the last two days into the boys stomach. He cursed Dumbledore with every breath and didn't register when said man and the other heads came into the room looking for him.

"Dammit!" Severus yelled, spelling another replinisher into Harry's stomach then checking his pulse and heart beat. "Good it's steady.."

"Severus, what's going on?" McGoneggell rushed to his side, "Do you need help how did he get here?"

"He told me there was a raid on his house and that one of the Death Eaters forced a plant mush down his throat saying that it'd take him to his soul mate and he'd be safe. He came to me two days ago and I've been healing him from his aunt and uncles care. He said the Death Eaters didn't hurt him. Then he confesses he loves me and while I'm getting his potions goes and mutilates his arm." he spun on Dumbledore. "I told you no child should be left to grieve alone, Albus! " he spun back to the boy and continued his healing charms. "I cant believe you left him there. His uncle did this to him did you know that?!"

Dumbledore did not like this information.

"Soul mates?" He asked avoiding everything else. "Have you tested the theory?"

"It's not a theory." Severus barked, not seeing Harry come to. "I've known since he came to the school! I could feel it as I'm sure he could! That plant mush is called 'Eves of Love' It's a rare plant when mushed up and ingested takes the person to their soul mate if they'd meant them. Mainly if their magic has found them. If it has not then the person goes into a coma and never wakes until the day they die. It also activates the bond between them. In short it marries them and it is recgonized and documented at the Ministry of Magic. Bonds like this can never be undone or broken by anything or anyone. " Severus was glaring at Dumbledore "In short Harry is now my husband and I am his."

"Really?"

Severus looked back at Harry and saw a small spark of hope flare to life in those dead green eyes.

"Yes, really. " Harry nodded and closed his eyes again. "I will wake you in two hours so you can eat."

"mmmm." Harry mumbled, "K..."

After making sure there was no way in hell Harry could try and kill himself and placing every ward he could think of on his room he went to the magic window to make sure it would still take Hedwig straight out on to the grounds. He nodded and filled the owls water bowl he then gave her a huge fat rat. She whoooed her happiness and watched him walk to her wizard.
