Chapter 2

The start of the term went by much the same way as his other terms did. Harry attended classes, spent time with his friends, and worked on homework. He hadn't been to Severus's quarters since that first day. Severus told him to wait till he gave him word. They couldn't be caught together and as much as Harry wanted to see Severus every night, it would seem suspicious to his friends if he disappeared frequently. He missed the man though. And he knew Severus missed him too. He had almost choked on his orange juice this morning when an image of Severus and him in a romantic embrace popped into his head, unbidden. He glanced at the head table, still coughing. Severus was watching him, an eyebrow raised and his lips curved in a small smile. Harry sent him a glare. He would have to discuss this new method of communication with Severus. His heart couldn't take much more. Whenever Severus sent him an erotic thought or heated whisper, Harry had trouble appearing normal in front of his friends.
His first potions class was that day. Harry was oddly nervous about it, he wondered how Severus was going to treat him now that they were together. He knew they couldn't appear suspicious but he hoped his professor wouldn't go overboard.
After breakfast, he made his way to the potions classroom with Hermione and Ron. He took a seat next to Ron while he set up his cauldron. He glanced up. Severus was at his desk, working on some papers. The class started normally, Severus didn't acknowledge Harry or talk to him until they had been given their instructions and set to work on the potion. Harry watched with dread as Severus meandered through the students, giving insults as he went. Seemed he was back to normal. Harry's heart beat faster as he heard Severus's footsteps come closer. He hurriedly chopped up his ingredients and was about to throw them into his cauldron when he felt a hand on his wrist, stopping him.
"If you put that boomslang skin in there, Mr. Potter, your cauldron will explode. Did you not read the instructions?" Severus's voice was cold as he looked down at Harry, his hand still wrapped around his wrist.
"I'm sorry, sir, I was distracted" Harry was staring up into Severus's dark gaze. Though his professor's tone was deadly, his eyes were warm. Harry knew then that he wasn't serious.
"Potter, see me after class" Harry's heart hammered at that. Severus left him to continue walking around the classroom.
The class ended and Harry told his friends he would see them at lunch. He made his way to the front of the classroom where Severus was standing at his desk. Severus looked up and making sure there was no one left, he locked the classroom door with a charm. Harry gulped.
His professor beckoned him closer. Harry approached, suddenly nervous. Severus gazed down at him, amusement in his eyes, suddenly he snatched Harry up and deposited him on the desk so he was sitting on top. Severus was on him in a flash, his lips trailed hot kisses down his neck while his hands were running over his body, stoking a fire inside him. Harry moaned at the sensations. He clung to Severus, pulling him against him. Severus's heated whisper was warm against his ear.
"I can't stand seeing you in my class and not being able to touch you" Harry blushed at his words.
His teacher moved closer until he was standing between Harry's legs and wrapped them around his waist. He then ground his hips into Harry's, allowing him to feel the hardness of his erection. Harry groaned in pleasure. His own cock was hard, straining to be free of his breeches. His legs that were wrapped around Severus's slim waist were shaking. The sensation of their cocks rubbing together and Severus's kisses were threatening to send him over the edge. Severus chuckled softly.
"You came last time, boy, it's my turn now" Severus said softly, Harry shivered against him.
Severus's hand caught one of Harry's and he guided it down toward his crotch. Harry knew what he wanted. Taking a deep breath, he reached between them and cupped Severus's hard erection. His professor groaned against him and Harry's heart hammered against his chest. He reached down with his other hand and lifted Snape's robes up, allowing him better access through his thin breeches. His cock was so warm and hard. Harry wanted to feel it in his hand, feel the texture of it without the fabric in the way. He slipped one hand under the waistband of his professor's breeches and grasped the thick rod he found there.
Severus moaned against him and captured his mouth in his with a renewed passion as his tongue twined around Harry's. Harry stroked his cock, he was so big and hot. He touched the tip and felt precum on his fingertips. He stroked the man faster, until Snape was moaning into his mouth. He could feel him tensing and knew he was close. Likewise, Harry's own cock was rock-hard, Severus's moans and the feel of his cock in his hand drove him to the edge.
Severus gave a loud groan and Harry felt his cock explode in his hand. The sensation sent his own over the edge and he cried out as he came, without having touched himself. Severus panted against him, his hands clutching his shoulders. They stayed like that for a few moments, coming down from the high of their orgasms. Finally, Severus lifted his head to gaze into Harry's eyes.
"You cheater," he said softly, "you weren't supposed to come"
Harry blushed but couldn't keep the smile from his face. He bent forward and kissed Severus softly before pulling back.
"I couldn't help myself. You drive me crazy" he whispered in his ear. He felt Snape shiver against him. He allowed himself a chuckle as he got down from his teacher's desk. Severus waved his wand to clean themselves before pulling Harry back into his arms. He looked down at him.
"I wish we didn't have to hide like this, I know it's not fair to you, Harry, I'm sorry"
"It's okay, as long as we get to be together, I don't mind hiding" he replied, "but...could I see you tonight?" He looked up at him hopefully. Severus hadn't let him in his quarters since that first night because he didn't want him being seen, but maybe today he would give in.
Severus gazed down at him, amusement in his eyes before he nodded slightly.
"You may visit me tonight, but you have to be back in bed before curfew" Harry grinned from ear to ear as he left the potions classroom. His day had just gotten a whole lot better.

It was lunchtime. Harry was sitting at the Gryffindor table, waiting for Ron and Hermione to join him. He looked up, Severus was eating at the head table, seemingly ignoring Harry, but the images Harry was seeing in his mind told otherwise. This newfound means of communication was particularly difficult for Harry as Snape liked to send him erotic images just to make him blush. Harry tried to stop his growing erection as Snape sent him an image of Harry bent over a table with Severus between his legs. He held back a groan. This man was going to be the death of him.
His torture was interrupted as someone took a seat next to him. He looked up. It was Ginny Weasley. Ginny was looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Hi, Harry" she was gazing at him with doe eyes. Uh oh.
"Hi, Ginny, how are you" he tried to keep the conversation neutral.
"I'm good," Ginny looked down, a blush on her face. Harry had an inkling of where this was going...
"Harry, I was wondering if you were going with someone to Hogsmeade this weekend?" Harry looked at the hopeful expression on her face. He didn't want to hurt her feelings.
"Er no, I don't have any plans" He said haltingly. Ginny beamed at him.
"Great, why don't we go together?" Ginny had scooted closer to him and put her hand on his arm. He gulped. He didn't like the way she was looking at him. If Severus saw them…
He took a chance and looked up at the head table. Snape was looking straight at him. His eyes were deadly.
Oh Merlin. He had to let Ginny know he wasn't interested, for both their sakes.
"Er, sorry, but I…like someone else" Harry watched as Ginny's face fell.
"Oh, that's okay, I understand" she got up to leave.
"I'll see you around Harry" Harry watched her walk away. This time last year, he would've killed to get a date with Ginny. Now, he couldn't be more uninterested. Severus was his whole world now, he couldn't imagine himself with anyone else. He hoped the infuriating man saw that in his head.

Severus was seething as he watched that young trollop touch his Harry. He had been having a pleasant time tormenting Potter by sending him naughty images in his head and now that idiot girl had ruined it. He watched with narrow eyes as Harry and the girl conversed. A possessiveness flared in Severus like he had never felt before. He wanted to go down there and…suddenly the girl's face fell and she got up and walked away. Severus was shocked. And then he realized the situation. The girl must have hit on him and Harry had turned her down. A fierce happiness came over Severus at the thought of Harry's loyalty. He loved the boy.

Albus was currently sitting at the head table during lunchtime. He was happily conversing with Professor McGonagall about the techniques for cleaning woolen socks, when his gaze caught Severus Snape's expression further down the table. The teacher looked…angry for some reason. More so than usual. Dumbledore wondered what was causing his friend's anger. He continued talking to McGonagall.
"Oh, yes, I find warmer water to be much more efficient at getting chocolate stains out"
He discreetly moved his head slightly to follow the direction of Severus's steely gaze. He spotted Harry Potter sitting at the Gryffindor table with his friends. Nothing unusual there. Hold on, he looked closer. There was Ginny Weasley sitting next to Harry but the odd thing that got his attention was that she had her hand on his arm and was looking at him like he was a big slice of chocolate cake. Judging by the expression on Harry's face, he didn't think the boy was too happy with Ginny's attentions. He wondered at that. He thought a strapping young lad like Harry would love to be the center of attention to a pretty young girl like Ginny. He suddenly remembered why he had looked at Harry in the first place.
He turned back to Snape to see that he still looked furious. He glanced between Snape and Harry. If he didn't know better he would say Snape was mad because Ginny was giving Harry attention. He mused silently on that while he continued his conversation with McGonagall. He had known Severus for a long, long time; he was well aware of his past relationships with both men and women alike. He liked to keep tabs on his teachers lives, unbeknownst to them. That was why when Dumbledore studied Snape's furious face, he felt a flicker of surprise, for he knew then what his friend was feeling – jealousy. He had to be sure though. He couldn't act until he was certain. It was time to do some investigating.

Harry was walking quickly down the hall towards his History of Magic lesson. It was morning. He was running late since he had forgotten his bag in the boy's dormitory and had to go back to get it. Ron and Hermione had already gone on ahead. He had told them to. There was no use in all three of them being late. He would deal with Professor Binn's fury himself. He chuckled at that. The ghost was more docile than a puppy. He was not known to give out punishments. He would most likely not even notice him arriving tardy.
Harry walked past some empty classrooms, there were few students in the halls. Most had classes in session. The few he passed were either tardy like him or had this period free. Harry turned a corner and was walking past a tapestry when a hand suddenly shot out and he found himself yanked into the secret passageway behind it.
A hand clamped over his mouth, stopping his yelp of surprise. Another hand was wrapped around his waist holding him against a hard, warm body. It was pitch black inside the passageway. He was pressed against the wall, unable to run or call for help.
A soft chuckle came from the dark figure looming over him. Harry's breath quickened. The smell of eucalyptus wafted towards him. Suddenly he knew…
"Did I startle you, little Gryffindor?" came Severus's soft voice. He removed the hand from his mouth and felt his warm breath against his neck. Harry shivered against him.
"What are you doing here?" Harry was both nervous and excited by Severus's actions. While he loved Severus, this was dangerous. If anyone saw them…
"Just lying in wait for a little Gryffindor to cross my path" he purred seductively as his lips touched Harry's neck. Harry's breath quickened at the sensation and he forgot about the danger they were in. He clutched at Severus's robes, pulling him closer. He felt Severus's lips and tongue suckle at the sensitive skin of his neck and he moaned. One of Snape's hands reached up to tangle in his hair where he could tilt his head to get better access to his neck. His lips left a trail of fire as he moved downward to his collarbone then around to the other side of his neck. His teacher's lips were so soft and his tongue hot and wet. He felt his teeth graze against his skin, softly biting. Harry groaned. Suddenly, Severus left his neck to capture his mouth. His kiss was fierce, fueled by a passion Harry matched. His lips moved against Harry's, his tongue pushed its way past his lips to claim his mouth possessively. Harry moaned and his reaction seemed to excite Severus further. His tongue entwined around Harry's while he pressed himself closer to his body. Harry felt his erection against his belly, hot and hard as a rock. His own cock hardened as he became more excited. He wanted this, oh how he wanted Severus so badly...
But then he felt Severus pulling away, his breath haggard. He heard him whisper softly.
"Harry, as much as I want to continue this, you have to get to class" Harry groaned in frustration. Severus chuckled at him through the darkness. He felt him move away and then there was light as his teacher held the tapestry aside so Harry could leave. Harry moved past Severus, giving him a grumpy look.
"I'll see you soon" Severus whispered to him before disappearing back down the passageway. Harry sighed before heading back towards Professor Binn's classroom.

Severus made his way down the hall, away from Harry. He sighed, taking his hands off Harry had been almost impossible for him, but if they were both caught they would be in a world of trouble. If Albus ever found out-
"Good morning, Severus" Severus jumped a foot in the air before spinning around. Albus stood there, leaning against one wall casually as though he were waiting for Severus to pass this way. Severus looked at him forebodingly. He fortified his mental occlumency shields. He can't have known he was with Harry...
"I know, Severus" Severus gulped. He should've expected this, should've known Albus would find out. The man was too smart for his own good.
"Severus, my dear friend... what have you done?" Dumbledore looked calm but hidden behind those glasses, his gaze was steely. He knew it, he knew Dumbledore was going to kill him when he found out. He took a deep breath, his resolve was final. Even though he knew Albus wouldn't approve of their relationship, he would not stay away from Harry. He loved him and no wizard was going to stand in his way, not even Albus Dumbledore.
He looked in Albus's eyes and his gaze was deadly.
"I love the boy Albus," his voice was soft but steely, "if you think you are going to stop me seeing him, then you are mistaken" He and Albus faced off in the hallway, both expressions deadly for a moment. The air crackled with magical energy.
And then Dumbledore sighed. He looked down and Severus knew he had won.
"How has this happened?" Albus looked quizzical.
"We grew close ever since I rescued him from those muggles," Severus stated, "He recently...told me he loved me, and I realized that I felt the same".
Dumbledore sagged a little as if a great burden was on him.
"I wasn't expecting this... the boy has a destiny that is greater than you and me both, will this relationship get in the way of that?" He was looking Severus in the eye, a hard look on his face.
Severus bristled a little at that.
"No, Harry knows what you expect of him and he is willing to destroy the Dark Lord and his horcruxes. Though I don't know how you expect a mere boy to-"
"Not this again, Severus, we've discussed this" Dumbledore looked impatiently at him, "the boy is destined to destroy him. You may have delayed his reign of terror for the moment, but he will return perhaps more powerful than ever before. Harry must finish him"
Severus sighed. He could see he was not going to win that argument, at least for now. Dumbledore may believe in the prophecy but Severus was not convinced. He did not see how a teenager could destroy the Dark Lord where older, more powerful wizards have failed.
But if Harry had to do it, then Severus would help the boy in any way he could. He would aid him in ways the headmaster could not. He would help him search for the horcruxes and destroy them one by one. And when the Dark Lord returned, Severus would be there and make sure that Harry delivered the killing blow.
"He will. I will make sure of it," he stated before he turned and left the headmaster alone in the hall.
