Witches & Wizards in Reefside

Kira Ford and Harry Potter had just arrived home from their sixth year at Hogwarts school of Witchraft and Wizardry. Walking into their group's favorite hangout, Hayley's Cyberspace, they were almost instantly greeted by the others. Waving over to the group Kira greeted them "Hey, guys!" Smiling, she and Harry joined the group as Conner asked "So, how was school?" By now, he'd been elbowed in the chest enough to learn to be more careful in his word choice when discussing Kira and Harry's "school". Chuckling, Kira replied "Crazy...As always...Ya know, I think I'd be more concerned if we actually had a quiet year there..." The entire group erupted in laughter.

Noticing a somewhat faraway look on Harry's face, Tommy asked "Hey, Harry...You okay, man?" When the question stirred no response, Kira explained "He's been like that for a couple of months now...I think he had the most...interesting year of us all..." Somehow managing to sense where Kira was going with that, Harry cut in "Kira!" Turning to Harry, Kira replied, indignantly, "What?...I didn't say anything!" Glaring, Harry opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted as Trent asked "Didn't say anything about what?" Shifting his gaze to the young hispanic, Harry snapped "Nothing...It's not important..." Sighing exasperatedly, Kira replied "Oh, Harry, for God's sake, people are gonna find out sooner or later..." "Not if you keep your mouth shut, Kira..." Harry snapped. Kira just rolled her eyes in exasperation as Harry changed the subject.

A little while later, once everybody was all caught up on everything, Kira turned to Harry and smirked as she asked "So, Harry...Where's Snape?" At the sound of her question, Harry seemed to just freeze, only able to blink, for a moment before replying slowly "He's uh...Back at school of course...Or wherever the teachers go over the summer holidays...How should I know where he-" After listening to his obviously nervous ramblings, Kira cut in "Harry, cut the crap...I know about your guys' plans to spend the summer together..."

"Very good, Ms. Ford...Where were those keen observational skills in my class?..." Came an all too familiar drawl. Almost cringing from the sound of what was probably her most dreaded professer, Kira turned slowly to face him as she feigned a smile and replied "Hello, Professor Snape..." After Severus took a seat next to Harry at the table, Kira added "Sir, these are my friends, Dr. Oliver-he's a Science teacher here at the high school, Trent Fernandez-our resident artist, Conner McKnight-soccer player extraordinaire, and of course, last but not least, Ethan James-our resident tech support...Guys this is Professor Snape, a teacher of Harry's and mine from school..."

Once all the greetings and pleasantries were observed, Tommy asked "So...Professor...What exactly brings you to Reefside?" "Yeah, I mean it's not like there's much to see or do around here..." Conner added. Smirking, Severus thought a moment before replying "Well, I suppose I just needed a break from the incompetant imbacils at the school." Rolling her eyes, Kira had been about to make a comment but then thought better of it. Leaning over toward Harry, Kira whispered almost silently so as to prevent anyone overhearing "Listen, Harry...Just tell them...They accepted mine and Tommy's relationship...They'll accept yours and Snape's..." Pretending to be in the dark as to what Kira was talking about, Harry asked "What are you talking about?...I'm not with Snape." Rolling her eyes, Kira replied "Listen, don't play dumb with me...It's cool...Just tell them...They'll understand..." Shaking his head, Harry replied "They accepted yours because you and Tommy are straight...I doubt they'd accept a gay relationship..." Smacking him gently on the arm, Kira whispered "You idiot, of course they will...They're not as narrow-minded as you seem to think they are..." Before returning to the group conversation, Kira added "Just do it...You're not gonna feel any better until you do...Plus, you know I won't leave you alone until you do..."

"Everything okay, Kira?" Tommy asked curiously, noting Kira and Harry's private conversation. Turning to Tommy, Kira replied "Yeah, everything's fine, babe." Smiling, Tommy replied "All right..." With that, Kira nudged Harry as if to say "Do it now! Before I do it for you!" and stood to go get the group some drinks. Taking her hint, Harry looked to Severus who had also picked up on Kira's subtle hint and nodded his approval. Well, that was no help...I was hoping I could use the excuse of "Severus would rather keep it a secret..."...Well, damn...There went that excuse...I guess hunker down and get it over with...Taking a deep breath, Harry cleared his throat before announcing to the group "Umm...Guys...Severus and I have something we want to tell you..."

Curiosity perked, Ethan asked "Yeah?...What's that, dude?..." Nodding, Conner added "Yeah, what's up?" Taking another deep breath, Harry turned to Severus as Severus squeezed his hand gently as if to say "It's okay, love. You can do it." With that, Harry replied "Well...You see...Severus and I...Well...We've sort of...Been seeing each other for the past few months..." Sighing in relief, Harry thought to himself Phew...That's out of the way...Now, I just have to wait for them to shun me from their lives saying they want nothing to do with a queer or a faggott or whatever...

After a few moments of silence, Tommy spoke up "Congratulations, you two..." He stated, sounding one hundred percent sincere. Nodding Trent replied "Yeah, way to go!" "Yeah, you deserve it!" Ethan added, in agreement with his boyfriend of several months. Smiling, Conner added "Yeah...It's about time you made a move...At the rate you were going, all the good ones were gonna be gone...Ow-What?" Turning around, Conner noticed his girlfriend, Krista joining the group at the table. "You'll have to forgive him...He knows not what he says..." Krista explained as the group erupted in laughter.

Smiling, Krista offered her hand to Harry and then Severus in turn as she introduced herself "Hi, I'm Krista. Conner's girlfriend." Smiling, Harry shook Krista's hand as he replied "I'm Harry. Harry Potter. I'm a friend of Kira's from school." Also smiling, Severus also accepted the offered hand as he introduced himself "I'm Professor Severus Snape. I'm with Harry." Nodding, Krista added "So I heard. Well, congratulations. You both seem like really great guys." Returning with the drinks, Kira set them down on the table and passed them around. After doing so, she maneuvered over to where Krista was standing behind Conner.

"Hey, Krista. Nice to see you. I'm sure you've met my friends, Harry and Professor Snape." Kira greeted, giving her friend a quick hug. Nodding, Krista added "Yeah, they seem really nice." Nodding in agreement, Kira added "Yeah, they are..." Turning to Severus, Kira whispered softly so that only Krista would hear, "Well...Professor Snape's more of...an acquired taste...To know him is to love him, really..." As the two girls chuckled, Severus scowled and struggled to keep a straight face as he replied "I heard that..." After that comment, the entire group erupted into laughter.

About half an hour later, the group slowly began dispersing, Krista going to watch Conner's soccer practice, Ethan going to try out a new video game, Trent to work on his artwork and Kira and Tommy to go inventory some stuff in the lab. Which left only Harry and Severus. Turning to Severus as they left the café, Harry asked "Care to go for a stroll or something?..." Smiling, Severus took Harry by the hand and replied "Whatever you want, love." Smiling, Harry felt an ever so slight blush creeping up in his cheeks and he and Severus continued on their way down to the beach.

About an hour later, Harry and Severus walking hand in hand along the shoreline of the beach, just silently enjoying each other's company when they were...interrupted to say the least. Looking up, they saw several green, scaly looking monsters and some sort of robot standing in front of them. His sword drawn, the robot stepped forward toward the couple and asked, menacingly, "Which one of you is Severus Snape?" After exchaning confused glances with his younger lover, Severus stepped forward and replied "That would be me..." Not liking the outlook of situation, Harry grasped onto Severus' wrist, adding "Sev, no...This could be dangerous..."

Before Severus could react, the robot fired a blast of green electrical energy, hitting Harry square in the chest and sending him flying backward several yards. "HARRY!" Severus cried, turning to run to his fallen lover. However, Severus soon found himself in the grasp of several of the green, scaly monsters that accompanied the robot. "You're not going anywhere...Lord Mesogog has big plans for you!..." The robot hissed venemously before teleporting out via invisiportal. Slowly regaining counsciousness, Harry watched as the robot disappeared with his lover. Reaching out to where he'd last seen Severus standing, Harry cried out "SEVERUS!...No...Come back!"

Standing, Harry brushed the sand from his clothes as he looked up to see Kira and the others running toward him. "Harry!...Harry, are you all right?..." Kira called out to him as the group finally approached its target. Shaking his head, Harry replied "No...They...They took Severus."
