'What was he planning to do?!' Harry thought, alone in the bathroom. He looked down at his incredibly strong hard on. He tried to will it away, but no luck at all. He needed to be quick.

Harry sat down on the toilet and grabbed himself firmly. He tried to think about nothing but the pleasure he felt, but as his hand snaked their way onto his nipples, images of Snape sucking on and toying with them came to mind. That shiver came back and Harry almost came. He bit his lip to keep silent as he brought himself to the edge quickly.

Seamen spurtted out everywhere. He hadn't done that in a while, it felt really good. A knock at the door brought him out of his daze. "Are you okay in there?" Snape asked. "Uh! Y- yeah! Um, one second." He said, running to clean up his mess.

He flushed the evidence down the toilet. Harry then opened the door the see Snape leaning on the door frame with a smirk. "You know, you could have asked me to fix that for you. I may just be healing you right now, but you're still my mate." Harry growled as he face reddened more. "Just healing. Yeah, sure." He muttered. Snape didn't bother arguing.

Harry walked back into Snape's room and rid himself of his pants before resuming his previous position. Severus started licking Harry's legs up and down. "You shave your legs?" He said surprised Harry shrugged. "Yeah. Having hair on my legs itches so I shave them when I can."

Snape nodded in understanding and went back to licking Harry's smooth legs. Erasing the scars. Erasing the words carved into him. Erasing the pain as much as he could.

When he was completely done with Harry's legs he looked at his mate in slight satisfaction. "Turn over? I need to get your back." He asked. Harry nodded and turned over onto his stomach.

Severus was to the side of Harry and worked his way down the 18 year old's back, scooching every now and again. When he reached the bottom Snape teasingly sat on the back of Harry's thighs and smiled slightly. Now his mate was healed of all physical remnants. Snape leaned upover Harry's back and went to kiss the back of Harry's head when Harry jumped. A small yelp of fear was all the warning given for when Harry somehow jumped off the bed and hid in a corner. All in the span of a second. He clutched his legs tightly against himself and had started shaking.

Snape looked at him worried. Harry's eyes were wide open, but they didn't seem to actually see him or anything else. "Harry. My love are you okay? Talk to me, what's wrong." Nothing Severus said got through until a gently laid a hand on the side of Harry's face. Harry looked at him as if he were seeing the first time. His eyes welled with tears but he kept his voice relatively calm. "S-Severus. What? What happened? I don't- I don't remember. Why can't I remember." Harry's voice started to crack and he buried his face in his knees. "I'm sorry." He said. Snape felt his heart break at seeing his mate like this. He brought Harry close and picked him up. Severus laid them both on the bed as Harry sobbed. And sobbed. And sobbed.

The next morning they woke up like that. Harry clinging desperately to Severus, Severus holding the boy in his arms protectively.

"Severus?" Harry asked "Yes my love?" Snape answered soothingly. "Could you- um, would you use legitimacy to help me remember?" Harry asked. Snape was very surprised but he understood what Harry was asking. "Are you sure? You understand that it's not going to be happy in the least if it scared you that bad."

Harry nodded. "Understand that. But you'll be there. Besides, you promised to heal all of my scars right?" He said with a smile. Severus chuckled. "Yes. I did. Harry, can I kiss you?" he asked staring at his mate's lips.

Harry shocked at first, but nodded. Severus leaned in slowly and gently brushed his lips against Harry's. Then he pushed a little harder, sucking gently on Harry's bottom lip.

Harry moaned softly and leaned into the kiss. He held back a disappointed whimper when Severus broke apart.

"We need to go Raven. Or we'll be late." Snape said. That's when Harry remembered school.

He flung himself out of bed and spelled on his uniform. He then ran out of the room to make toast with strawberry jam.

Snape came out a few minutes later Snape came out in a bathrobe and mussed hair. He chuckled at Harry. "Strawberry today huh?" he said.

Harry looked at his professor in surprise. Then his face melted into one of frustration. "You jerk! It's winter break!" he said. Severus laughed joyfully. "I know, but otherwise neither of us would have gotten out of bed." Harry growled again as Snape approached him. The 17 year old professor patted his student on the head and grabbed the piece of toast from the plate in his hands.

After finishing the bite of toast, Snape acioed a bottle of Nutrition potion on the plate in Harry's hands where the toast had been. Harry sighed, but downed it anyways. "Bleh." He said, sticking out his tongue.

Snape chuckled. "You're adorable." he said unthinkingly. Both of the two just kinda stared at each other awkwardly for a moment. Harry laughed nervously. "Well, that's something I've never been told."

When Snape finished his toast he looked at Harry seriously. "So, are you ready?" Harry nodded and followed Snape into his potions lab. A flick his his wand and Snape cleared everything out of the way. Then he transfigured some random object into a loveseat. "You sit."

"Now Harry. You understand that I may have to go through a lot of old memorise to find this one. Are you okay with me seeing these?" Harry nodded. "You already know most everything. I've got nothing to hide." Snape smiled smally, but then backed up and pointed his wand at Harry. "Prepare yourself." He said gently.

"Legitimacy!"

At first it was a bit tricky, but Snape got through. He was very gentle as he weaved through Harry's hogwarts life. He went to the time Harry was just a little boy. He carefully slid through the memories, his heart breaking at each one.

Vernon was cutting sausages when Harry asked if the Bacon was done how he like it. "Don't bother me with such stupid questions boy!" The man bellowed, swing the knife it a way it slashed across Harry's chest. Harry bit his lip to silence his sobs of pain. "That's right. Stay quiet. You know it's only what you deserve you ungrateful freak."

Some memories were bad like that, some were not a bad, but one struck Snape the most. He thought as passed a few that looked similar, if must of happened a lot. While he was healing, Snape thought Harry had carved the words into himself, but as he watched Dudley hold Harry down as Vernon took a knife and carved an F and then a R and then an E spelling out FREAK, he felt his stomach turn.

Harry was 6 now. The air around the memory was getting nervous. Harry watched Vernon pull a knife from the kitchen drawer and look at him with a sick smile. Petunia had been gone on a trip last week and wouldn't back back for another 2 weeks. Dudley was off playing with his buddies. Vernon grabbed Harry's arm and headed for the stairs. Then, the memory buller out. This must be it.

(Hate to spoil, but this next memory contains rape. If you can't handle that it's totally fine, just skip to my Welcome Back note at the end of the memory.)

With a little work, Snape was through. He watched the scene play out. In reality, he just grabbed onto Harry's shoulders to comfort him. This was gonna be ruff.

Vernon brought Harry to his room and through his against the bed. Harry had no clue what was going on, but knew better than to ask. "Strip." Vernon demanded. So shakily, Harry stripped down to his underpants.

Vernon grabbed Harry again and pushed him onto the bed. He unbuckled his own pants and pulled out his throbbing cock. Harry flushed furiously and tried not to look. Vernon glared him down. "Suck it, don't you dare bite it though." Harry stared at Vernon in horror who slashed his arm. "I said suck bitch!" Harry opened his mouth in pain and Vernon used that moment to shove Harry's face onto his cock. Needless to say, the old bastard wasn't very big, so Harry didn't have to worry about accidentally having his teeth graze it.

After a few minutes of thrusting side Harry's mouth, Vernon groaned like a dying cow and came down Harry's throat. Before Harry could spit out what he could Vernon glared at him. "Swallow all of it." He demanded, so 6 year old Harry did as he was told.

Vernon through Harry over forcefully and shoved him down into the bed, making the boy's butt stick up in the air. Vernon licked his lips as he pulled down Harry's underpants forcefully. He stuck a single finger in once. Just shoved it in as deep at it could go, not caring about Harry's screams. Well, he did cut Harry's back once, but that's because he felt he was given a reason too.

Vernon then stood tall behind Harry and positioned himself to enter. He shoved himself all of the way in in one smooth stroke making Harry scream again as he felt blood start to trickle from his ass. The pain went on for about 5 minutes as Vernon thrust in and out of Harry at full force. Came Vernon made the dying cow noise again and came inside of Harry.

When the bastard same out of his daze he saw Harry had fallen unconscious and took the opportunity to carve Harry's newest badge of honour into his skin.

ASS SLUT was carved into his ass. One word per butt cheek. Then Vernon slapped the boy's ass hard to wake him. When that didn't to it, a nice slash across the back did. Harry woke up screaming.

"Why the fuck are you still here bitch?! Look at this shit, you got blood all over my fucking bed! Get the fuck out of my sight while I clean this up you useless freak!" Vernon scolded. Harry scrambled to his cupboard and fell asleep crying and hugging himself.

Accidental magic healed most his injuries just fine and hid the memory away for safe measures.

(Hey, Welcome back if you skipped that. All you need to know from that that will actually matter later is that ASS SLUT was carved into his butt cheeks. Anyways, read on! ^^)

Snape pulled out of the legilimency spell to hold his sobbing mate. He held him tight. To tight. "Ow. Severus, you're squeezing me." Harry said, calm now. He looked at Snape who loosened his grip. "Sorry Love. I just..." "I know. Your eyes changed again. I'm glad I know now but... Could you take it away?" Harry asked with pleading eyes. Snape nodded and processed to remove every trace of that horrible incident other than that Harry wanted it gone. He put the memory slivers into a glass vile and burned it.

Snape kissed his now blissful mate. "What do you say we go for a walk?" Severus asked. Harry nodded with a smile.
