I'm With You

I'm With You

By: Shinigami Alison Black

He walked down the street, hands at his cloak's pockets. He was supposed to meet with him in the cafeteria down his own house. He was so exited that he was going to see him again after the eleven months he had been working on that case.

Taking his hand out he opened the door to the cafeteria. It was a very warm and cozy place. Tables were dressed with red and whites mantelpieces; the chairs were made of mahogany and each had a fluffy red cushion where you could sit comfortably. The place was very well decorated for someone who would want to relax awhile.

A waiter approached him as he sat near the window and he ordered a mug of coffee. He stared out of the window adjusting his glasses, taking off his hat he looked at his watch: 6:18 pm. He will be here at 7:oo pm, soon.

Though, his friends told him not to come since they thought he was a waste of time. They always tried to talk to him and convince him to stop thinking of him, waiting for him. There were many men over the world much better than that bastard, but he couldn't do it, he loved him dearly.

//I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound //

The waiter brought the mug of coffee he ordered. It felt warm over his fingers as he took a sip. Sipping at it he felt warmth and comfort spread through his body. Leaning over the chair he stared out of the window and remembered the first time he fell for him.

He could remember it like it was yesterday. He was at his seventh and final year. Been seventeen years old, he was young man with many stress and trouble on his life. Having the weight of the Final War at his hands was tiresome work, since he was the principal leader of all this. He was the only one who managed to get near Voldemort and repeal the Killing Curse. Though, through all the battle people were dying, luckily his friend survived, his lover was one of those dying. Even though at past events he had despised him, he managed to get him off the battlefield before Voldemort could have finished him up for sure.

He finished Voldemort for good casting a Killing Curse on himself and vanishing him up for good, he survived. But as they abandoned the place and arrived at Hogwarts he was told that one of his father's friend, Remus Lupin, was almost near death since a Dementor sucked out half of his soul. His godfather was mildly injures and was taken to St. Mungos for some emergency treatment. Though his friends consoled him and helped him through all the news, he felt lonely, and depressed until he came.

//Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you//

Right now he's someone, not the irritating Professor he was before at school. He had given him all the things he was looking for: comfort, understanding and love. He snapped out of his fantasy as the waiter asked him if there was anything more. He hadn't really noticed he had finished his coffee. He smiled at the waiter and ordered another mug.

//I'm looking for a place
Searching for a face
Is anybody here I know
'Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone //

Months after they both had settled their relationship, Dumbledore asked his lover to travel through all Europe to check and discuss with the other ministries about Voldemort's destruction and the remaining Death Eaters. He asked his lover how much it'll take him so he can come back, and his answers it was what he had feared; about one or two years because his lover, had to travel all over America as well.

He looked down at his mug. He missed him so much. His kisses and hugs, the time they spend talking, playing and laughing. It was like a part of him had been ripped off his heart and soul; a part of himself that make him who he really was.

//Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you//

He realized it was passed 7:00pm but there was no sign of him. Rain had begun to fall and the windows began to fog. He will not come. His friend's voices resound through his head but he stayed in faith and hope. He will come, just wait a little bit more.

//Oh why is everything so confusing
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yea yea yea //

7:48pm

Still, there was no sign of him. The waiter told him they were going to close. He hadn't really noticed he was the only one there. He smiled weakly at her, paid his mug and left the cafeteria. The rain soaked his hat and clothes making him shiver from cold. People passed him by as he looked up at the clouded sky. Drops of water soaked his glasses making it impossible for him to see.

'He will not come,' the voice said over his mind.

He didn't come.

Never came.

//It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you//

Harry Potter yelled at the clouded sky as tears rolled down his face mixing with the drops of rain. He fell to his knees, feeling the water soaking through his pants. He hit the soaked floor hard. His hat fell to the floor at this and his messy black locks were dipping wet from the rain.

//Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you//

Suddenly rain stopped falling at him. Opening his eyes he saw a pair of feet in front of him. Looking up he saw his lover looking down at him, smiling and holding an umbrella between them.

"Severus!" Harry exclaimed joyfully and he stood up and kissed the man. It was a the most joyfully sensation for Severus Snape to feel Harry's wetness soaking him as Harry hugged him and kissed him not wanting to let him go. It had been a long, long time since he felt Harry's warm skin on his own

"I'm sorry if I'm late. Got few problems with the passport," Severus said.

"What it matters is that you are here," Harry said crying, taking his face with both of his hand and kissed him passionately. Severus responded equally, sliding his hand over Harry's waist he gave him the warmest embrace.

The rain soaked them both but they didn't care, they had each other and that was what mattered.

//Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...//

The End
