"Where. . . Where did you get that?" He asked in disbelief. Harry smiled softly.
"From Hermione. She's been holding onto it." He said. Snape flinched at hearing this.
"So. . . You live." He said slowly, dropping his arms to his sides. Harry nodded his head.
"Quiet a few of us do. And. . . Quiet a few of us don't." Harry said sadly. Snape looked at him and slowly understood. He cleared his throat and stood up straighter.
"So then, why are you here?" Harry smiled and looked down at his feet.
"Well, I had something impor-" he started, but was cute off instantly by a deep rumble in the castle. Portraits began falling off the wall and a candy jar fell over, shattering to pieces. The pensieve case tipped over and crashed to the floor. Harry instantly went to a wall and saw Professor Snape had done the same.
"It's starting!" He said hurriedly and carefully made his way over to the window. Harry, still clutching the wall as the tremors continued, went to his side and look at what he was seeing. The shield, it had broken.
There were whisps of smoke coming through the barriers and they morphed into people, the same way Professor Snape did in the great hall when he and Professor McGonagall fought.
There were blasts coming from both sides of the already starting war. Harry's heart seemed to have stopped. He didn't have much time. He turned to Professor Snape.
"Look, Professor. . . Severus. . ." He willed himself to say. He needed to say what he had to say and formalities were no longer needed. Severus seemed to have been taken a back by this. "I have admired you for so long, and not just in the heroic way. I know I was a prick when I was younger, but it was because I was scared of you and didn't understand." The floor gave a violent shake and the ceiling began to crack. "But now I know, after all this time, I've always felt something more for you, and I've just come to realize that." Severus frowned down at him as he still stood there, his attention completely on him. Harry pushed up his glasses and continued. "I've tried and I've tried to like other people, but your the only one I come back to and think about. I thought my emotions were wrong and misplaced, but now I know they are right and here in my heart."
"Potter-"
"Severus, I love you. And not because of how many times you've saved me and my friends, but I genuinely love and care for you. I am so sorry i have done so much to hurt you and to stay in your way, but I just want you to know I meant nothing of it now and wish for you to forgive me. I know how right now all ends and I can't bare you dying without knowing the truth." Severus sighed and hung his head. Then reaching out his hand to place upon his shoulder, he opened his mouth to speak.
"Harry-" all of a sudden his face contorted in pain and he doubled over, clutching his wrist. Harry leaned down to his aid, and that's when that snake like voice spoke. He knew where he was and he knew what was about to happen.
"Professor, I know what's about to happen-" he said, remembering how he had just destroyed the diadem he and Hermione and Ron found in the room of requirement. "And I have to hide." And with that, he took off for the headmasters dorms and hid behind the door, leaving it slightly ajar. Professor Snape stood up, straightening his robes when a black whisp of smoke appeared in the middle of the room.
