So he coDisclaimer: I don't own anything of Harry Potter.

Note: I am not good with sticking with one shots and leaving them at that. I just wanted to do a second chapter of this as well so here it is. I hope you like it.

The day Harry Potter disappeared:

The colour of his eyes hadn't changed, even when his hooked nose had been set properly this time and the thin lips curved into another smile. Harry was still tingling from the kiss he had experienced, finally after all these years and the long apparation they had been doing.

Said eyes were staring down at him and Harry smiled up. Slowly his cheek was stroked by the long fingers and, taking a deep breath, Harry forced himself to look away and to gaze about, finding himself looking at the mountains that stood near the background and the sea that was spreading out before them.

To his right there was a village but Harry had no idea where he was. He looked back at the older wizard standing close by and immediately two strong arms were wrapped around him and he was brought back to rest against a firm chest.

"I am merely staying here because it is the longest way to apparate in one way. We will go someplace else soon…unless you wish to be caught?"

"Where can we go?" Harry asked eagerly, he leaned back contently, his mind already more at peace then it had been nearly an hour ago. Those thoughts seemed to be from a different life, from a different time and now that he was close to Severus, he didn't feel alone anymore.

The hands played with his hair for a moment and then Severus said,. "Have you said your goodbyes? For come tomorrow we must hurry when the Daily Prophet catches wind of your disappearance…." As the deep voice washed over Harry, much to his horror, he felt his eyes starting to burn.

Harry turned in the arms that held him, burying his face in Severus' shoulder as the older wizard immediately stiffened, before placing two strong hands on his shoulders and pushed him away, gazing down in the green eyes as he said. "Harry, do you regret your choice? If so then you must tell me now for you will still be able to return before they panic…"

"I don't want to return, Severus. I have made my choice and everything has been settled. I have made the necessary arrangements…I was just a bit overwhelmed. I have missed you…" In response, the dark head bent and Harry opened his mouth to allow the questing tongue in.

As Harry finally pulled away to breathe, Severus smiled as well and as he accepted the other wizard's hand, they walked towards their new destination together.

A year after Harry Potter disappeared:

It had taken the wizarding community a year to adjust to the news that their hero had disappeared, never to return again. The search parties had ended, save for those who couldn't, like Mrs Weasley, come to terms with the news.

Ron and Hermione Weasley were married; they kept the old Grimmauld house in London for Teddy Lupin, who had now reached the age of six, and was a thriving young wizard.

They only mentioned Harry a few times, when untraceable and unmistakable large amounts were taken from his Gringots' account. A letter had arrived for them a few months earlier, asking them to come to the Ministry this day. Ron slowly squeezed his wife's hand, assuring her as they waited.

Two muffled spells burst forward, and Ron nearly gave a cry when a blindfold suddenly was placed over his eyes, but the large hand that had been clasped over his mouth prevented him from it. The other arm that was wrapped around his shoulders pulled him back as a voice whispered in his ear, a voice he hadn't heard for nearly six years.

"Silent, Weasley. I don't want you to give our positions away."

Ron stopped struggling as he allowed himself to be dragged backwards, his mind reeling, and his hand dropped to his wand regardless of the arms that relaxed against his shoulders. He could feel Hermione's hand tense in his own and after what seemed like an eternity the blindfold was removed.

Ron turned immediately, his wand held out in his hand, but he only encountered thin air where Hermione's hand had been a moment ago. He looked around frantically for his wife but then she was standing next to a beaming Harry who was hugging her closely.

Hermione gave a loud cry again and sobbed into Harry's shoulder as the younger wizard shook his head, sending his messy hair flying. The green eyes rose up to meet Ron's and the taller red haired wizard smiled at his best mate.

Harry looked different, his hair had grown longer, but that in itself was not strange. He was no longer wearing glasses and his green eyes were peaceful, not haunted and, taking a deep breath, Ron turned to the other person standing close to Harry.

He nearly didn't recognize Severus Snape. The Potions Master's black hair was shorter than it had been and the hooked nose had been set properly. The older man sneered at him with a hint of amusement in the black eyes, the lines in his face nearly entirely gone and the face no longer pale but tanned.

"Professor?" Hermione whispered as she stepped away from Harry, who immediately, instinctively, turned his body towards the other male wizard.

"Not a Professor any more, Mrs Weasley. Just Snape or Severus will do for the moment for we won't stay long. We are only here at the Ministry for the bonding ceremony and then we will be on our way."

"Bonding ceremony?" Ron barely had time to react as Harry nodded. As Ron watched the smile blossom on Snape's face as well, he groaned despite himself but then settled himself in his fate. He would be the witness to Severus Snape and Harry Potter's secret marriage and there was nothing he could do about it. Not that he wanted to.

Three years after the disappearance of Harry Potter:

Boy Who Lived maybe spotted in London.

The headlines screamed at Professor McGonagall but she disregarded the paper almost immediately, setting it aside in favour of her tea and toast. Headlines like this had been in the paper whenever somebody who looked remotely like Harry was spotted.

It had been three years since Harry Potter had mysteriously vanished and she had given up hope of ever finding him again. She had not received one letter from him and as a soft cough behind her back interrupted her from her thinking she ignored it.

She had always assumed that Harry would one day take over the post of Headmaster of Hogwarts, but instead he had disappeared, seeming to vanish into thin air. It had reminded her of another wizard, who had long longed to do the same.

"Minerva?" Albus Dumbledore's soft and gentle voice cut through her thoughts and the Headmistress turned to the aged wizard sitting in the frame behind her desk.

"Yes, Albus?"

"Why isn't there a picture of Severus here? I think he deserves to be here, I mean…"

"Albus, his body wasn't found. We may assume that he is dead but it is my belief that he isn't. We tried to create a painting of him but the magic needed for it wouldn't work and the only way for it not to work would be if Severus is still alive. We have been over this. Leave the man in peace, he deserves it."

"But where is Harry then? He hasn't been to visit in a number of years…" Albus looked puzzled and McGonagall pinched the bridge of her nose. She had neglected to tell him that his favourite student had disappeared, but it seemed that she could wait no longer.

"Albus, Harry hasn't been to visit because he disappeared three years ago. Five years to the day when Voldemort was defeated, Harry vanished and nobody has seen him since. He resigned his post as DADA Professor and said that everything had been finished and all affairs were in order. Ronald and Hermione Weasley were the last who has seen him…"

"Oh really? No word from him since then? He just left without telling anybody where he went off to. That doesn't sound like Harry at all. I mean besides the fact that you say that his affairs are in order. It sounds to me like it was planned and Harry was waiting for a signal…" Albus looked pleased with himself, his blue eyes twinkling merrily like they had done so often in life when he knew something that the rest of them didn't.

"Who could Harry possible be waiting for? He broke up with Ginny Weasley and his two best friends are married. Who did he have left?"

"Did I ever tell you of that time I found Harry and Severus kissing in the hallway?"

"You what?!" She leaped to her feet and Dumbledore laughed.

"I was merely joking. But think, Harry has disappeared and Severus is alive, who else could Harry have gone to?"

"I cannot believe it, why would Harry do such a thing?"

"Because he loves Severus."

"But why would Severus allow Harry near him and then snatch him away? He loathes him."

"No, he loves him. They love one another…" Albus beamed, looking quite pleased with himself as Minerva took the paper again and then laughed when she saw the headline again. It would certainly explain a lot of things.

"And how would you know such a thing, Albus?" She finally asked, humouring the deceased wizard who plucked a Sherbet Lemon from his pocket and answered.

"I saw them coming out of the Forbidden Forest one day…one merely had to put two and two together…"

"Severus was having a relationship with Harry when Harry was still in school?"

"I hardly believe it matters now as you said Severus is dead…"

Five years after Harry Potter disappeared:

The two men stopped to watch a small child running up to the graves, one tall red haired man walking behind the young child with an other child with bright blue hair which was slowly turning a more subdued brown. One male tugged at the other's arm and the shorter male finally nodded as they stepped back and away from the vision of the small family.

"That is Ron with his daughter Rose, the one he wrote to us about. Teddy hasn't changed at all. He looks more like Remus every day…" Harry watched the small family place some flowers on two familiar looking graves.

"Do you wish to meet with Teddy?" Severus' hands came to rest upon his shoulders and Harry placed one of his own hands over it, drawing strength from the closeness of his beloved.

In the past five years they had been travelling around the world, sometimes staying in one place for anything between a month and a year, but Harry was always glad when he was once again on the move. They had received letters from Ron and the occasional newspaper, but the wizarding world believed Harry Potter had died five years ago.

Harry wondered if Teddy knew the truth. In a year, Teddy would attend Hogwarts, but it might be too dangerous to tell Teddy the truth. He had made it clear in a letter to Ron and Hermione that he had left a letter to Teddy which would be delivered to him, together with a way to contact Harry when he came of age.

In between the money that Remus and Tonks had managed to save up and the money Harry had left for Teddy, the young wizard could manage Hogwarts quite well together even with a little money left over if Teddy didn't do anything too crazy.

"No, I have arranged that a letter will be sent to him when he comes of age with a way to contact me if he wants to do so. I hope of course that he does." Harry relaxed against the taller body behind him.

"Do you ever have any regrets? This could have been you standing there with your own child and your godchild by your side, at the site of those fallen." Severus glanced out over the lone grave that stood at the top with a small statue of a snowy white owl next to it, the significance only known to those who had known Harry Potter well.

"Like I told you five years ago, I don't have any regrets, Severus. I am happy with you and our relationship and that is all that matters. Come and let's go. We have lingered long enough."

When the loud crack sounded, all three people who were visiting the graves looked up.

17 years after the Defeat of Voldemort and 12 years after Harry Potter disappeared…

"So Rose is going to be happy at Hogwarts, do you think?" Ron asked his wife as he sat down, already missing the presence of his daughter at home. Hermione merely lifted her head from where she was watching Teddy, who was talking to Hugo; their son who was still too young to go to Hogwarts.

"Teddy, when is your grandmother expecting you to be home?" The messy head lifted and the amber eyes locked with the older wizard before the now adult half werewolf shuddered and said.

"She didn't specify any time. Is it alright if I hang out here for a few more hours?" Ron exchanged a look with Hermione but he merely nodded his consent. Teddy went back to his conversation with Hugo and Ron had a moment to study Remus Lupin's child.

Teddy was sprouting black messy hair, strangely reminding him of Harry, and he would be almost identical to Harry if not for the amber eyes and the taller frame.

A loud knock on the door interrupted Ron's analysis of Harry's godson and as he mumbled low underneath his breath, picking up his wand in the process, a habit which had never died, and he opened the door. The two people standing there shocked him, and it took the scathing comment from the other wizard on the other side of the door to lower his wand and he stepped aside to let them enter. "Trust a Weasley to draw a wand when this meeting has been planned for months."

Teddy appeared in the doorway behind him and then stepped forward, saying in a soft and barely audible voice. "Harry?"

Harry only nodded breathlessly as he stepped forward and greeted Teddy, his godson for the first time in years. Teddy swallowed thickly before he rushed forward and allowed Harry to embrace him as Severus entered the house as well. Hermione appeared in the doorway behind Teddy and Harry, smiling.

She nodded at Severus who merely nodded back at her and then she asked, "You have set up a meeting with Teddy Lupin, Severus?"

"No, actually Teddy did. When he had read the letter that had been delivered to him when he came of age he wrote Harry, telling him that he wanted to meet his godfather. Harry has sent back a letter and we have waited for confirmation that it was safe for us to meet with Teddy. This seemed like the best place to meet." Severus' deep voice made Harry draw back from Teddy, who he held at armth length and softly said.

"Teddy, I want you to meet my husband, Severus Snape, but known to the world as Severus Prince, just as I am known as Harry Prince." Harry looked uncertain at Teddy who looked back at the taller, dark haired, currently short haired wizard standing behind Harry.

"Is that why Harry left? To be with you?" Teddy only received a nod in responds and as the younger wizard shuddered, hugging Harry again, Severus knew that soon they would have to leave again but they all had found peace and that was all that mattered.

The official end.

I hope you liked it. This is the official end. Review of course.
