Slippery like a Snake

Prologue

Harry sat down on a comfortable chair beside a small coffee table with a full cup of steaming hot coffee in hand as he contemplated the events that lead up to his life as it was now.

It had been a long and arduous journey that he was not willing to ever do again. And now that he had the time to reflect over it he found the whole 'adventure' which was the closest word he could relate to it as being absolutely ludicrously hilarious. Something that he could tell to his 'children' if they ever decided they wanted to have children.

His husband, Severus Snape, the snarky, delicious and delectable Potions Master and Potions teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, pulled him from his musings with a question.

"What are you thinking about Harry," the snarky man asked. "You have that whimsical smile on your face that I don't quite know if I can trust that anything good could ever possibly come of it."

A stream on laughter poured from Harry as he watched his husband watching him very suspiciously. The laughter seemed to lull the man slightly as he sat down on the chair opposite of harry.

"Just thinking about the pesky thing that we conveniently call our past and how we somehow survived the impossible and the unimaginable to reach the present point in time in a single piece so unscathed," Harry said taking a dip of his drink as to not burn his mouth.

Severus shook his head. History, their past, most still thought that Harry was out of his mind, absolutely bonkers for even wanted what he had and who he was currently in a relationship with. But then again, not many people actually knew where he was or even that he was still alive. He had seen to that a long time ago with an elaborate disappearing act that had fooled the whole wizarding world and was still continuing to do so.

"And where pray tell does this tale begin…" Severus playfully asked with an obvious amusement in his voice.

"Well, as all stories, I should think that it would all start at the beginning sometime during Seventh year at Hogwarts just around about graduation…" Harry began.

To be continued…

Note: While this is extremely short, chapters in general will be a lot longer.
