Summary: Excerpt from No Matter What. Harry and Roman are back home for Christmas after a gruelling term at Hogwarts.
December 10th:
Home For Christmas
***
It's nice to be home, Harry thought as he stepped through the door into the apartment he now shared with Roman, ever since the summer before. The past few months at Hogwarts had been hell once Dumbledore had found out that Roman and Harry were Soul Mates and yet was unable to do anything about it.
That's not to say that he hadn't tried. He'd gone to the Ministry and the press arguing that a relationship between student and teacher was immoral but was shot down by the department of Magical Creatures who reasoned that, no matter what, a relationship between a Vampire and his mate was of the utmost importance and could not be interfered with, even if they were teacher and student.
Besides it wasn't as if there was anything actually going on between them while they were at Hogwarts. They hadn't slept together since that first night back in the summer, hell they'd been sleeping with different people every night since then, sure they'd danced some and kissed but not while they were at Hogwarts.
Mostly their relationship was no different to the friendships Harry had had with Remus in his third year, with Severus now or indeed with Dumbledore himself the old hypocrite, just a little stronger (and he wasn't attracted to the others either), but Harry was well aware of why Dumbledore was reacting to the idea so badly. He was worried about losing his weapon, he would no longer have control over Harry if he and Roman were to bond, but he had no power over whether they would or not.
"Stop thinking about it," Roman stated wrapping his arms around Harry's waist as he moulded against the teen's back.
"I'm glad we're home," Harry whispered back as he leant his head against Roman's shoulder.
"Me too. Do you want to go down to the club?"
"No, can we just stay in?"
"No problem baby, it's Christmas we can do anything you want,"
"This...this is what I want to do, I want you to hold me just like this all night," Harry replied.
"Okay, but maybe we should move to the bed," Roman replied lifting Harry up bridal style and carrying him over to the bed.
They lay like that for hours curled up around each other and soon Harry was fast asleep in the Vampire's arms. Roman sighed as he glanced down at the sleeping teen, the one who had captured his heart, even before they knew they were destined to be together, and knew that he would do anything for him, No matter what.
So there's the next one, sorry it's so late. Comments and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.
