The rain poured down as Harry stood in Greece staring at the picture in the locket Severus had given him. He thought back on the war again, What he had lost and how little time he had spent with the one whom he had given his heart to. The weather matched his mood as he stared into the stormy sky. Quiet tears slid down his face the one he had given his heart to was gone. For such a short time it had been. He looked back into his memory's. As he heard the sound of his Soul Mate and children playing in the water of the bay. Except for Tobias who was not Half Merfolk like his other brothers and sister, the cold sea would mate him ill at this time of year.

Chapter one

Harry Grinned as he greeted his friends, he caught the sight of Severus Snape out of the corner of his eye, Harry had to swallow and force a bigger smile to quell his aching heart. No one knew his darkest secret. The way he felt about this war and how it was forcing him to do things and say things he would not say otherwise. Why did is it so hard to pretend happy when his heart-felt like it was breaking each day he had to pretend things were alright. If he truly was honest with himself he would walk right up to that man and kiss that sour look off his face. Yet not even he knew the truth of how Harry felt for him, two years ago when he had realized he attracted to blokes over girls. It had taken another year to learn he had started to have a crush on the one person who was in someone of Harry's position off-limits. Not only because he was a teacher but because he was older than Harry himself and the world would see it as a scandal. The man of his affection probably did not even feel the same way towards him but Harry had hope that maybe one night would be all he needed. He was after all 16 and if he was honest with himself he knew that in a few short years he may end up dead at the hands of the Dark lord. Harry sank down into a chair next to Seamus as he had done for the last few weeks. "Harry, are you alright?" Seamus asked to soft for anyone else to hear Harry found. Trust Seamus to spot Harry in a fake happy state He just shrugged and responded honestly for once. "I don't feel well today, but it should pass soon, no worries alright, mate" Seamus just nodded.

The weeks past Harry Went though his school work faster and with such good marks that Hermione seemed to envy him but if she really knew why he was taking on extra school work would she really envy him. Harry felt the need to at lest spend one night with the one man he had fallen in love with. He had not really realized when he had truly started falling hard for someone who seemed to hate him for something that was never his fault in the first place but just one night Harry felt would keep him for the rest of his life if need be. So harry checked his map to make sure the path to the owlery was clear. He pulled out a piece of parchment, grabbed a muggle ink pen which he had nicked from dudley the last time he had been able to. He wrote a simple request on it. Quick dried the letter to owner of his un professed love. Put on his invisibility cloak and thanked Merlin that his Gryffindor buddies were heavy sleepers. He tiptoed out of his bed and down to the Gryffindor common room checking one more time to make sure no one was following him, he darted out of the portrait. Praising his own seeker abilities for being swift as he ran low to the ground watching for any sign of Filch's cat or any patrolling professor. He arrived at the owlery in record time, looked about to make sure no one was around. Harry tiptoed up to a tawny barn owl that looked like she was already awake, he simply slipped his letter next to her beak and said softly. "take this to professor Severus Snape, I will wait here for your return, I have brought a treat if you bring a response back." the owl hooted in surprise but took the letter and flew out the window near her. Harry watched the owl fly off he went close to the ledge of the window waiting for her to return with hopefully a positive response from Severus Snape.

Scowling at Harry Potter's perfect essay thinking to himself how well the boy had matured since he had come to Hogwarts. The Boy's penmanship was still off-key but some part of Severus found that is Could be just a cover omit not to look smarter than Severus knew the boy was. He gave the paper a good mark but added in his own script at the bottom that He needed to work on his penmanship he put the paper aside to pick up the next. When the sound of scratching came at his office door. Growling in irritation he flicked his wand at the door and it swung open revealing one of the school owls with a letter in its beak. The owl flew over dropped the letter and decided to perch on his desk to wait for a response. Scowling at the bird he grumbled "This better not be some fool student asking for extra time on their work." Picking up the letter there was no name on the front and no seal on it's back, eyes narrowing. After so many years of being a spy he would not put it past one of his students to try to hex him for a bad mark on their test or worse. So Severus tapped the letter with his wand and said a soft incantation to check if it was hexed. Nodding to himself, good thing the person was smart enough not to add a hex in the mix. Opening the letter and reading it his eyes widened a bit then he scowled in deep thought.

Dear Severus Snape. This might be of some shock to you but not everyone thinks you're a slimy git. I don't at least...anyway I do not want you to think that I am doing this because I want to see you get upset or pissed off. I just...I want one blissful night with you if you understand what I mean. There will be no correspondence after if you do not wish it...But if you could give me one night in yours arms. You can even remove the memory if it would suit you. Although I do not plan on showing my face to you unless you ask me to. If you agree .. I have already arranged for a room at the three broomsticks under the name of Sam west. No that is not my real name as I am sure you may already know. The room number is 103 it will be unlocked if I am already there. The room won't be ready untill tomorrow .Thank you for reading this.

Ps Please bring a trinket of some sort so that I know you truly only wish for one night. I will bring something of token as well for you.

Severus did not trust the fancy handwritten letter but it had been a very long time since he has last had a one night stand with anyone. From the looks of the school owl was giving him. It was a 6th or 7th year student who knew what would be at stake were people to find out. Nodding at the owl he grabbed the red ink quill he had used to grade the papers and scratched out at the bottom of the letter.

To Mr or Miss Anon.

I accept your offer, it may seem a bit rash of me to even contemplate doing something like this...But is has been a long while...I don't trust you without a real name or face, but as you stated in your letter it will be for one night only...as for a trinket I hope a locket with my picture in it will satisfy you. Please don't wear it while you are still at Hogwarts as I can tell by looking at the owl you are a student and I could lose my job if someone were to find out...as I am assure you have already guessed.

Ps Don't send a return response to my response. I am going to bed. Good night Mr or Miss Anon.

Severus rolled up the letter and tied it to the owl's leg handed it a treat and watched as it winged out the slightly ajar door. Soon as the owl was gone he flicked his wand the door shut and locked as Severus stacked up the essays he was grading and headed for bed. If he was going to be pulling an all nighter with some hormone driven teen he would need his stamina and strength. Then he remembered he had patrols duty tomorrow night scowling he quickly called for his own raven who landed on his shoulder. Severus said softly to the raven, "Albus, I can't make it patrol tomorrow as I have made another plan and will be elsewhere, Forgive me" the raven cawed and flew off. whispering to himself as he made it to his rooms, "I have no idea why I agreed to such foolishness."

Harry's heart skipped when he saw the owl flying back in with a letter tied to her leg. The owl perched back on her stand and put out her leg into thin air Harry gently stuck his hand out took the letter, pulled two treats out of his pocket gave them to her. Tucked his hand back into his cloak and scurried back to his house tower. Sprinting carefully till he reached the fat lady panting softly he whispers the pass to the sleeping fat lady and went in snuck up into his bed closed the curtains on his bed threw off his cloak. Unrolled the letter much to his satisfaction even if a bit sadness. He read the response and knew that tomorrow night would be the highlight of his life,not even counting the end of the war. If that would ever even happen because in his own mind Harry would never be ready for facing the Dark lord. Part of Harry even felt like joining the bastard if Old Voldemort not killed his parents. Yet He had so of course harry was not only going to war for the wizarding world he was doing it for vengeance and for the safety of his newly kindled love towards a certain black-haired wizard.
