Harry sat at some unknown pub, surrounded by muggles who were obnoxiously loud. People were dancing around, all in each others space. Some women sat down next to him,
"Hey sweetie want to go have a good time" a lady with long brown hair and tan skin asked.
"Not particularly" Harry said throwing back what little scotch he had in his glass.
"Asshole" the lady yelled and slapped Harry causing him to fall off the stool.
"HEY YOU" The bartender yelled "GET OUTTA HERE." Harry thought to himself that he could blow this whole place to ashes killing everyone in here with a flick of his wand. Instead he stood threw a hundred dollar bill on the counter and left. Stepping out into the bitter December cold, Harry wrapped his coat around him and began to walk in some unknown direction. He was halfway down a street when he felt a presence nag at his magic, glancing backwards he saw a dark hooded figure a few paces back. Turning down an alley Harry stepped behind a garbage bin and drew his wand in anticipation. He heard footsteps grow closer, closer, Harry casted a defense charm just as the figure rounded the corner, the person flung back against the wall, Harry approached the figure and dug his wand into the persons neck.
"And what if I was a muggle" A familiar deep voice said.
"Who are you" Harry growled.
"Now now Potter, is that how you treat the person who saved your life" the man said humor in his voice. Harry casted a charm and the persons cloak blew off of him.
"Professor" Harry said in disbelief, he withdrew his wand holstering it in his arm holster. Severus stood in front of him, he had changed a lot since the last time he had seen him, his raven black hair was longer than normal, it casted a curtain down his back and it looked abnormally soft. His face even seemed to glow, he wore a black t-shirt that accented his buff shoulders, which lead into an extremely toned biceps. He also wore black slacks that hung extremely well on his ass, Harry shook his head, he must have had one to many drinks to be thinking about his most hated professor this way.
"What are you doing in a place like this" Severus said pulling himself together.
"I could ask you the same thing" Harry said straightening his coat and turning to walk back towards the street,
"I did not just stumble upon you Potter, I'm here to ask you something" Severus said following Harry.
"I figured, do tell professor" Harry said flatly. Severus grinned when did he end up so much like himself.
"We need a DADA teacher, and I want you to fill the position, you are most definitely qualified" Severus said stepping in tune with Harry's pace.
"There are others that are more qualified" Harry said. Severus growled.
"You idiot, I want you to take the position" Severus said angrily.
"And if I say no" Harry said stopping.
"You insufferable brat" Severus growled again,
"Ah I see you haven't changed much Professor" Harry said starting to walk again.
"Where are you going" Severus asked following.
"Far enough away I could apparate" Harry said flatly wondering why the man still bothered with him. They walked for a bit, finally reaching the edge of the town Harry stopped and turned to Severus. "Would you like to join me for a drink" Harry asked,
"Where" Severus asked,
"My home" Harry said, Severus stood there for a second, rolling the question over in his head, maybe if he gets enough drinks in the man he could get him to agree. Severus nodded his head and was about to ask the address to apparate to when they both left with a pop. Landing on an abandoned sidewalk Harry started walking up the familiar steps, Severus was still trying to balance.
"How did you apparate the both of us" Severus asked astonished. "Two person apparartion takes a long time to master, I have finally got it down after all my years." Harry smirked and opened the door, holding it open for Severus. He stepped through and into a quaint room, it was all one room. A bed stood in the corner, the kitchen just off to the left of it and a small dining table connected to the kitchen. From there, a couch and an armchair sat in front of a fireplace that was already lit.
"Who have you been training with" Severus asked as Harry shut the door. Severus felt the wards fall into place as Harry casted a locking charm.
"No one" Harry said walking to the kitchen, he opened a cupboard and pulled out 2 glasses.
"When you and I worked together your magic….was weak…. Now" Severus stopped as Harry turned towards him with anger present on his face, the magic in the air flared. "I'm just wondering how you got so powerful." Harry poured 2 large glasses of fire whisky and brought it over to Severus.
"I've always been strong Professor, I only suppressed myself, held my magic at bay" Harry said sitting down on the large leather armchair.
"Why would you do that" Severus said taking a sip of the dark amber liquid as he sat down on the couch.
"You don't know" Harry said shocked.
"What" Severus asked irritated that he did not know what was going on. Harry chuckled and threw back more of his drink.
"Dumbledore, that's the reason I held in my magic, on top of the magic suppressors he had me on since I was given to my….muggle family…." Harry said drinking the last of the liquid in his glass.
"That's ridiculous, he would not give you magic suppressors" Severus said taking in a deep breath and letting it out.
"That's odd then because he told me that himself right before he died" Harry said accioing the bottle of fire whisky. Severus drank down the last of his too, and refilled it after Harry was done.
"Why would he do that" Severus said shocked.
"Because he knew I was more powerful than him" Harry said, they sat there in silence drinking glass after glass of fire whisky till the bottle was almost gone. A few hours passed,
"I must go" Severus said standing,
"you can stay here tonight, your far to drunk to go anywhere, you can have the bed I will take the couch" Harry said standing as well, he was close enough to the man that he could smell the fire whisky on the mans lips.
"I will take the couch Harry, that is unnecessary" Severus said trying to move out of Harry's way but instead ran right into him, Harry grabbed Severus's arm to steady him.
"How many did you have" Harry chuckled holding tight on his grip. Severus was surprisingly warm and soft to the touch, and the smell of him drove him mad, the smell of fire whisky and potion labs.
"We need to discuss the DADA position still" Severus said, Harry took a few steps forward closer to Severus.
"Why do you want me to take the position so bad" Harry asked letting his arm run up Severus's bicep, he could hear the intake of breath come from the other man.
"I'm sick of being alone there" Severus said softly as Harry moved his hand up his shoulder,
"is that so" Harry said taking another step towards Severus, he could feel Severus's breath on his face.
"Minerva is a mess, she is trying to handle two houses at once, with me having to take the headmaster position someone needed to watch over the slytherin house till I can get a replacement" Severus said his breathing hitching as Harry intertwined his fingers through Severus's hair, it was surprisingly not greasy at all it was soft.
"Headmaster Snape" Harry cooed.
"That's unless you want the position" Severus said reaching his hand up and pressing it to Harry's chest, feeling his heart beat under his palm, feeling the warmth radiating off of him, and the smell of the London city lingered on his clothes.
"Right a gryffindor being head of house for slytherin" Harry chuckled.
"No you idiot" Severus said stepping forward, there bodies now touching. "Take the headmaster position" Harry stopped and looked Severus straight in the eyes, the dark onyx eyes pulling Harry in.
"Your kidding right" Harry said.
"No" Severus said running his fingers up through Harry's hair. Harry thought it over, he was at least trying to think it over, Severus kept distracting his thoughts, especially when he leaned further in and he could feel his breath on his neck.
"Is this us, or the alcohol" Harry said taking in a few sharp breaths as Severus softly kissed Harry's neck.
"Both?" Severus said but phrased it like a question. Harry leaned in and softly pressed his lips to Severus's, they were soft and full. Unlike what Harry thought they would be, he always had seen them taut void of life. He was so wrong.
