It Started With a Kiss

By: Julie Berg

Its Harry's Seventh year and final year at Hogwarts, he has to stay with the Dursleys during the summer vacation for the last time. While doing yard work, he is taken by the Weasleys back to Hogwarts for an important meeting concerning Voldermort. Voldermort has found a new plan that concerns Harry and in order to save Harry, he must marry Snape for his protection. While being marriage is not what its cracked up to for both Snape and Harry, they continue on with the plan. Voldermort realizes the marriage between the two and sets a new plan that concerns both Harry and Snape and perhaps the whole world. However through a simple kiss…a new story begins, powers arise and both Harry and Snape began their destiny together.

This is an m/m story, though not too graphic. (I am not quite brave enough to try that yet).

The character and universe in this story belongs to J.K. Rowling, they do not belong to me.

Chapter 1

Harry sat under the blazing sun, doing the yard work. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and no one was outside except Harry, who had been out since six that morning. The list of things to do before the summer ended in which the Dursleys had given him before they had left for their family vacation was almost done. It was only the third week of summer vacation but Harry had been active since the beginning, doing things to keep himself busy. It helped, because then he wouldn't have to think about Sirius or anyone else who had died because of him. Some part of Harry knew that it wasn't his fault but the bigger part of him wanted to take all the responsibility and blame him self for everything. At sixteen, almost seventeen Harry was a type of kid who understood what was happening around himself. He knew that he had a long road ahead of himself, which the world relied on him to get rid of Voldermort and come out standing. However he also knew that he was only so much as people wanted him to be, he wasn't that strong to begin with.

The yard work helped Harry to relax and think about the important things that he needed to do. As he worked, he thought about how much he had changed since the day he had found out that he was a wizard. He had been innocent and naive about the world, back then everything had been new and exciting. Harry had done the things that he had done because it had intrigued him at first. He hadn't realized that some how it would change his life forever and that he would have to make a decision that concerned the entire world. Harry let out a sigh and wiped a sweat off his forehead, leaving a streak of mud on his head.

A loud crack suddenly came from behind him and Harry whipped around to see a smiling Mr. Weasley standing before him. Too shocked to say anything, Harry just watched as another loud crack and his best friend Ron Weasley appeared. He looked even taller than Harry remembered him and somewhat sun burned. Another crack and Fred and George appeared along side each other, each with a grin on their face.

"Hey, Harry…What you doing?" They both asked and Harry with a wide grin on his face too stood up.

"Just my summer chorus, what are you doing here?"

Here all of the Weasleys looked around the neighborhood to see if anyone else was about. Laughing Harry ushered them into the house. They sat around the kitchen table and Harry again asked them.

"So what are you four doing here, did something happen?"

Mr. Weasley looked at Harry, who had changed so much since the first time he had seen him. He wasn't that scrawny little child who looked as if he was the only one in the world. Instead Harry had grown up into a fine young man, capable of handling things far beyond any normal teenager.

"Harry we had some important things that we need to tell you, but before we do that we need you to pack up everything and come with us." Arthur Weasley said looking at Harry and Harry looked back with a slight surprise on his face.

"Is something wrong?" Harry asked again but he only received a guarded look from all the Weasleys and knowing that it was useless to get any answers from them…Harry nodded. He walked to the cubert under the stairs and pointed which Ron nodded and pointing his wand at the door said.

"Alohomora!"

The door swung open and Harry took out his things from the cubert. He looked down at himself; he was all dirty with the yard work. Mr. Weasley noticed it too and he said,

"Its ok Harry…the meeting is more important, you can get changed when we arrive at Hogwarts."

"Oh, is that were we are going to?" Harry asked with a curious look. Ron nodded,

"Professor Dumbledore asked us to get you so it has to be important because he has never done this before. Do you reckon its You-Know-Who business?"

Harry shrugged his shoulder,

"I am not sure, you know more than I do!"

"I wish…dad won't tell me anything and the twins are acting as if its really big and they are acting all serious about it too."

Before Harry could answer Mr. Weasley nodded and took out an old tin can,

"Our Portkey." He said and all of them grabbed hands and within seconds they were whisked away from Number Four Privet Drive towards Hogwarts.
