Later

Severus hears the door open again and he looks up to see Lilly is back.

"Ready to talk now?"

Severus shrugs.

"Please?

Severus sighs. "I hurt Harry and he didn't let me heal him."

"I've heard..."

"I keep upsetting him and hurting him and... I don't know what to do."

"He seems fine, Sev."

"But. I've hurt him."

"What did he do after?"

"Forgave me..."

"Exactly."

Severus crosses his arms. "I just don't want to hurt or upset him."

"Shit happens."

"It shouldn't. I am supposed to keep him from getting hurt."

"Just look after him."

"That's what I've been doing for 8 years. He has the survival instincts of a squirrel on drugs."

"That's the whole Potter family..."

"His first year I kept his broom from getting jinxed and I got caught on fire..."

"Fun."

"What's even more fun is getting attacked by a three-headed dog."

"I think James did that once."

"I was also attacked by a werewolf trying to make sure Harry doesn't get himself killed by black in his third year "

"I almost got attacked by a werewolf..."

"What happened?"

"I kicked it..."

"Why?"

"I didn't have a wand, the least I could do was break something."

Severus nods. "I guess that'd work."

"Not really." Lilly laughs.

Severus shrugs. "Last year I was attacked by a giant snake..."

"I've heard..."

"Harry showed up after that. He ran up to me. I did not see him all year and all I was thinking about was how Dumbledore said hed die..."

Lilly hugs him.

Severus lightly hugs her back. "He died... then came back. I passed out in the Streaking Shack, bleeding out. Then I woke up in the hospital. Harry was there. The doctors said he visited every day."

Lilly nods. "I heard he was the one to get you there."

Severus nods. "I hate that dam snake. I find it ironic though a snake almost killed me."

Lilly chuckles. "Did it look like Dustin?"

"All I remember is teeth..."

"You don't remember anything else?" She asks.

"I do..." Harry says softly from the door.

Severus looks at Harry.

"I saw it all..."

Severus looks down.

"I did all I could to help."

"You did great harry."

Harry looks down.

Severus frowns. "I'm alive and my name was cleared. Your alive when I thought you'd die. You saved the wizarding world. You did great."
