SIX DAYS
by Firesword
Chapter One: Prologue, Sort Of
Six years. The two of them had been together for over six years. A lot of things had happened – most of them unexpected. The war they had with Voldemort had disrupted the Ministry. The wizarding society was in shambles, and it had taken a lot of competent wizards and witches to regain control over panicking citizens. But after all of that, people still managed to move forward and get on with their lives. It was not wise to say that all wounds have been healed, however. Here and there, there were spots in the world where magic would not work reliably, and as a result, several places that were magical in nature were exposed to the Muggles. In addition, there was a sharp rise of children suddenly manifesting 'strange' gifts after the war.
Due to this rise, it had become imperative for magical schools to be opened and running. Six years after Voldemort's underlings had infiltrated the castle, Hogwarts, once again, was a school for young witches and wizards. This was only possible because of a strange event that had happened years ago, when Harry was recovering from dumbcane poisoning. No one could explain how the enchantments that had protected Hogwarts for generations had suddenly renewed and strengthened with new spells – spells that were relatively unknown to the Wizarding world.
Severus Snape was back as a Potions master in Hogwarts, despite protests from the Ministry. The fact that Fawkes had chosen Severus as his owner had quite – biasedly – won support from the Wizengamot and Education Board. Harry had taken up the position as the DADA professor and it was a somewhat amusing affair that Severus had not protested when he was offered the post. Hermione had become the Transfiguration professor, and also the Head of Gryffindor House. Remus Lupin was working as a part-time counsellor, but he was ready to lend a helping hand to Harry occassionally. Ronald Weasley, had gotten a job in a private wizarding company, which allowed him to use his skills in strategy.
Now in Hogwarts, the current Headmaster was quite the eccentric fellow, and a very sporting one. Although professors in the school, Headmaster Edward Winterbrookes (he knew that they were lovers) allowed Harry and Severus to live as a couple, but discouraged them from showing their affections publicly. Still, students were vaguely aware that they were more than just colleagues.
They were still together after six years. Harry was still waiting for Severus to be completely honest with him, or at least, to admit that he was in love with him. He had said to Severus a long time ago that he would be patient and wait, but the absence of the three little words was making him anxious. The emerald-eyed wizard began to wonder, if he had done something to warrant that lack of security.
