Missing


Harry skidded to a stop in the Entrance Hall, suddenly aware of the entire Weasley family gathered outside the Great Hall.

"I know. I'm late, but…" He bit his lip, then looked beseechingly at Ron. "I can't find Severus. I have to talk—"

"Harry, it's time," Ron said, jerking his head toward the door.

"I know, sorry. But…I'll be right back." Turning, he sprinted through the great doors.

He'd checked the dungeons and kitchens, the Towers and library, Room of Requirement and even the Headmistress' office, but... nothing. Out on the grounds, though, he knew he was right when he saw the strangely motionless limbs of the Willow.

Through the trunk, up the tunnel, and into the Shrieking Shack…

And there sat Severus, crouched in a corner, staring into space. Harry sighed, going down on a knee in front of him. "Severus…"

"I'm a miserable failure," the man murmured. "I've ruined everyone I've ever cared for."'

"That's not true," Harry said quietly.

Severus' eyes drifted up to his. "I abandoned my students when they needed me most; I almost failed you, then lay like a bloody carcass while you went off all alone…." He shook his head in disgust.

Harry's voice was low and insistent. "You gave me what I needed most—the truth. And cunning Slytherin that you are, you made sure you survived. That's hardly a failure." He stood and held out his hand. "Get up. I'm getting married today and you're going to be there."

"You deserve better," Severus told him, brushing off his robes.

Harry tipped up Severus' chin and said emphatically, "Sod what I deserve. You're the one I want. Now, there're fifty guests waiting to hear us say our vows. Unless you've changed your mind…"

Severus' eyes were shimmering, full of wonder. "Never."

Thanks! I found it hard to be angsty in 300 words.

That was really sweet. Severus should know that Harry would never let him go just like that.

Heh, well he probably suspected he wouldn't, but still got 'cold feet.' Thanks for reading!

Love Severus's self-doubt and Harry's determination. Very nicely done.

Thanks, S. If anyone were to last minute jitters, I think it'd be Snape--self-confident when it counts most, but prone to self-doubt at such an important personal crossroad.

You had me worried up to the very end! Especially with all the Weasleys waiting... Whew, I'm so glad Harry gets what Harry wants!

Haa, glad I could 'misdirect' you. Yeah, Harry got what he wanted, but fortunately he knew it was what Snape wanted as well. Thanks for reading.

Thanks, snow. I found it hard to do angst in 300 words, so settled for flangst, but was happy with it. Glad to hear it worked for you--thanks for telling me.

I love how Harry’s mature and determined manner and his convincing arguments completely disarm Severus.

Well done! You have me going there when you had Ron say it's time. I am glad that the truth was much better! LOL
