It all started with an unexpected meeting at King's Cross at the end of Harry's first year. The next thing Severus Snape knows he's stuck with the Potter brat.

"I know about Lily." said the girl. "That you loved her." 

Severus froze mid-footfall. He felt as though he’d had the wind knocked out of him. 

"She's my mum." her chin lifted, her eyes clear. "She wrote me that letter to tell me about you. You're the only person she really mentioned, but I guess that makes sense, since you're my father. Who else was she supposed to talk about?"

"He's gone, Harry," Professor McGonagall said gently, voice thick.

Harry nodded, saying nothing.

What could he say? Severus was gone, and now Harry would never see the light at the end of those tunnels again.

Harry: When he has a vision of Snape being tortured by Voldemort he does the sensible thing for once and goes straight to Dumbledore. To save Severus Harry will do everything! He cannot loose him! Not now that he has found a family and a home with the snarky Potions Master. Not now when they have finally reached an understanding and a positive, caring relationship.

Snape: When he seeks out Dumbledore to inform him of a Death Eater meeting he is prepared for a lot of things. With Dumbledore you never know. What he doesn't expect is find his ward Harry Potter in the midst of a full fledged panic attack and apparently not the only one in the room to think him dead or at least captured by the Dark Lord.
Snark and care ensue.
