Weak and Strong are Compatible
Severus growled as he waved on his clothes. How the blazes had he slept past Harry waking, dressing and leaving? Evening after the day they had had the previous night, good gracious he wasn't that old yet! He grimaced as he straightened his back, feeling the soreness left over from the lash marks. They felt like they were healing on schedule. He stomped out into the sitting room where his floo was chiming for attention.
"Yes yes." He waved at the ward over it. "What?" George winced.
"Yi-ouch! We wake a sleeping baslisk?" Severus glared at him balefully. "We were supposed to call you at this time, remember? We have permission by one Severus Snape to call upon his quarters just after lunch." Snape grumbled at his cheerful voice and cast a tempus. A bit past one. What had Harry given him!
"Well? Step through and set yourselves up. You know the drill!" He barked at the red headed face floating in his fireplace. He went in search of coffee he knew the house elves would leave once they realized he was awake as the face disappeared, to come through in person. He grumbled as he stalked into the study. They usually put it there for him, knowing he went through correspondences first thing. Of course, Harry had been encouraging them to cooperate. Before his intervention, Severus would find it, often on the table in his sitting room, but sometimes, when they felt irritated with him for some reason, it would appear in the oddest of places, a bookshelf, the shower, the mantle, once he even ran into an old coffee in his potted tree, it had been there a while.
He was picking up his cup when he noticed a note Harry had left that morning.
Hey Love (that means you Sev)
Filius had to drag me away from a very handsome creature this morning bound and gagged. He says I'm his prisoner until 2 or so. He plans to release me on the condition that we finish undoing the damage done to his room during class last week. He was going to hogtie me tomorrow, but one of the magicks was reacting strangely and he didn't like it. Of course, my beautiful bed partner wasn't happy either. Did you know Slytherins seem to snuggle more when healing? I'll kiss my lover senseless when I escape.
Also, don't forget Forge and Gred are coming today at one. Minerva says lunch can be at home for this reason. Have fun!
Harry
PS touch the flower.
Severus looked at the hasty drawing of a flower at the bottom of the page. He set his coffee down a moment and placed his thumb over it, more caressing it, then the touch Harry requested. Immediately he felt a thin shimmer of Harry's magic crawl over his skin and settle. He pulled his thumb away, but the magic remained over his skin like a thin cloak. He raised his hand and wandlessly summoned a quill, noting with relief that it came as it was supposed to. He looked at the flower in confusion. He wasn't sure what his brat was up to. He glanced at the opening again, snorting at the comment. Who else would Harry write to in his office. No one else could get in here.
Hey Love. Still. He felt a bubbled of warmth in his chest at that. He remembered what Harry had said the previous night. I love you. He had never thought he'd hear it again. It sounded better then he remembered. Harry was good at making things better then his memory.
-Flashback-
Their tea evenings had continued after they had found out about their mutual attraction, but with the addition of playtime sometimes. They still talked some evenings, but some evenings it was more teasing then talking. They had yet to 'go all the way' as Severus had heard it called, but the touching was fulfilling in its own right. Harry had started coming to him for tea some days, instead of waiting for him in his quarters. The dungeons were more comfortable in their opinion any way.
Currently Severus found himself writhing under the handsome boy as his inquisitive fingers explored every dip and bump on Severus. Severus' hands were grasping the boys shoulders as they were spread out on his transfigured couch. Harry hadn't even touched his cock and it was straining.
"Harry!" He felt the brat smile against his stomach as that wicked tongue darted out to lick at the indent there. He felt those finger flutter up his chest, under his shirt and Harry slowly undid the buttons. Except for when the man had caught him coming out of the shower, Harry hadn't actually seen Severus topless. Severus caught his hands just before he removed the shirt. His fevered eyes met Harry's bright eager ones. He slowly released the hands and Harry kissed the base ofhis throat as he opened the white shirt. Severus moaned, throwing his head back to give Harry more room. Harry gently kissed down as the rest of Severus' Chest was revealed. Once the shirt was completely open he sat back and admired his handy work.
Severus felt himself flush. he had never been shy of his body as much as aware that it wasn't exactly the picture of beauty. He was still as scrawny as he had been as a child. Plus over the years with the Dark Lord had given him new scars on top of the few left over from his father. Instinctively his hands tensed as Harry looked at him. He hoped teh fear he was feeling wasn't showing in his eyes. Harry just reached forward and pulled him into a passionate kiss.
"Perfect." Severus gave him a skeptical look, but Harry was already sucking his nipple. He felt Harry's hand com up behind him and pull his shirt down as Harry physically lighted him off the futon. The shirt stopped at his wrists, his plain cufflinks preventing complete removal. harry didn't seem to mind as much as he twisted the shirt behind him, drawing his hands closer together, trapping them behind him as he made Severus' mind spin with the sensations on his nipple. Harry slowly kissed his way to the other one as Severus gripped the fabric of his shirt, holding his own hands captive.
"Harry, please." Harry smirked as he moved back up to his neck.
"Please what?" Severus groaned.
"Touch me!" Harry chuckled, but Severus didn't care as those clever hands found their way under his waist band. He was so close that a few touches and he came. He felt shudders rack through him as Harry vanished the shirt, letting him grip Harry. He relaxed as he came off his high and Harry rolled off of him. He felt the loss, but they had never remained long after the event. He felt Harry lay back on the futon and was about to try to nuzzle him to his excitement when Harry's arms pulled him close. He let himself relax into Harry's embrace as he was pulled close. Usually if there was cuddling afterward, it was Severus holding Harry as the boy calmed down, but this was nice.
"Is this okay?" Severus looked up at him, sensing his tension. Harry was looking at him uncertainly. Severus felt him pulled at his body, the urge to hug Severus to him. Harry wanted to cuddle. Severus felt a glow completely unrelated to his afterglow fill him as he nuzzled Harry under the chin, relishing the arms around him.
"Perfect."
-End Flashback-
Severus hadn't been held, just held since his mother had died. That gift was priceless to him. He had forgotten how good that had felt until Harry did it. Yes Harry was making his life a bright one.
Suddenly in a much better mood, he glided out of the office with his coffee to greet the terrifying twins as they made their usual mess in his sitting room, which was twice as large as it doubled as a potions lab half the time.

Minerva sighed as she ducked a flying chair. Harry tried to direct the other furniture away from his boss as he and Flitwick continued to dismantle the magic in the room.
"What on earth happened, Filius? You said it was a minor Levitation spell." the diminutive professor shrugged as he scampered away from the stool that was chasing him.
"It was, mixed with a revolution charm by Mrs Finnegan. They missed the feather and hit the crystal globe. It should have simply magnified the effect." Harry snagged the stool and attached it to the floor in time for a desk to trip him.
"This behavior is would do the Weasley twins proud." Minerva huffed as she spelled the desk that was attacking Harry. Harry nodded his thanks and sent out a wide immobulus. It didn't do much with so many items so large, but it hlated the little things that were dangerous, like the homicidal quills and books. He ducked another desk as a bookshelf barreled through. Minerva flattened herself against the wall.
"Oh for pity's sake. Harry drop your wand and stop this nonsense!" Harry's head swung to his old head of house in panicky astonishment, allowing the chair he had been chasing to tackle him, knocking his wand from his hands anyway. He looked up to see Fillius squeak as he rolled under a desk to avoid the bookshelf and let out his magic.
"Immobulus!" The whole room froze. Minerva shook herself, having been behind a protego and not effected by Harry's spell, and nodded to him.
"That's better." She went over and countered the immobulus on Filius while Harry wriggled himself out from under the chair pile up he had been the bottom of. "Now we can get something done." Filius hoisted himself up.
"Indeed, thank you Professor Potter." Harry could feel him go to work on dismantling hte odd web of magic that had enveloped the room. Minerva came over as Harry picked up his wand.
"Yes, thank you Harry." He glanced at Minerva nervously. She smiled at him and lay a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Why don't we have a spot of tea and you can tell me about your wandless magic?" He nodded sheepishly. He really should have told her from the get go. He glanced at the charms professor.
"Go ahead, I've got it now, thank you Professor Potter. Head Mistress? Was there something you needed from me?" Minerva looked at him in confusion a moment before it cleared. "Oh, no Filius, I was looking for Harry. Let us know if you need any more help." Filius nodded and went back to his wand waving. Harry looked at the woman in question.
"What did you need from me?" Minerva smiled.
"Well, I have a guest, but she's got something behind this darn shield and neither of us can release it. I was hoping my DADA professor could help me out." Harry smiled happily.
"Sure!"

Severus stepped back in time to avoid the puff of yellow powder that the cauldron emitted. Fred waved his hands through it to dispel it as George coughed.
"I told you! Quills in first. When Quills are in second-"
"-it goes puff in your face." Severus shook his head at the two as they spoke together even when arguing. He was probably one of the few people who ever saw them argue either. Truthfully, the boys were brilliant. They had been in school and they still were. Severus had taken great pleasure in giving them periodic detentions so they could brew in the dungeons safely. Less disasters that way. Less strain on his nerves too. He had figured out eventually that they liked those detentions. SO much so, that if he didn't find an excuse to give them one, they gave him an excuse.
He preferred making them up, less gray hairs involved. He had two rules that hey had yet to break. First, their pranks never be truly dangerous to the students. They had actually looked offended at that, until he explained that it wasn't enough to not intend to harm, they had to know whether it would harm the students. He had left the teachers out of that rule, they could defend themselves. His second rule was to leave him out of their prank wars.
After they had left, in their own unique style, and the war was over, they had come back to ask if they could brew with him again. At first they had simply popped they heads in on him while he was recovering in the hospital with a question or two. Then, after Minerva had tricked him back here, he had gotten used to seeing their faces in his floo with a question. Those soon turned into discussions, at one he simply barked at them to go get the damn product for him to see, and they had been coming over ever since.
Harry had already figured out that Severus wasn't annoyed by the attention, but rather enjoyed his afternoons with the 'Terrifying Two' as he termed them. Severus wasn't sure why they came to see their grumpy old potions professor, but he didn't see a reason in asking them. He had asked Harry's opinion once. He had speculated that it was a combination of things; Severus was the first person to ever completely encourage their potential and direct it, he had always been willing to discuss whatever it was they were planning provided it followed his two stated rules, neither of which actually curtailed the fun the boys were having, he did, in fact, know what he was talking about and knew they did as well, he didn't mind their unique method of interacting, and he refused to lie to them. Harry also thought that they felt safer when brewing around him. He had always been there as a professor, keeping everyone safe, and in some respects, they might still see him that way. Severus had just decided they wanted to wreck his home instead of their own.
He shook his head to dispel the lasting yellow powder as the twins discussed whether the powder was a desired effect. This was the part he had no play in. Brewing he did, and spontaneous pranks he was clever at, but the marketing of pranks was not his forte. He let himself smirk at their dialogue as he wandered to his favorite chair. He was about to sit when his floo alerted. Frowning he waved at and sat as a brunette appeared. He scowled.
He hadn't really ever had much to do with the Golden Trio except for Harry since the war was over. And with what Harry had told him about last night, he really wasn't interested in talking to Granger.
"I'm sorry to bother you Professor. Might George or Fred be there?" Severus glanced at the cloud of yellow powder still enveloping part of his living space. Hermione sighed in relief. "Finally. Might I speak with one of them? Preferably George." Severus spared her an irritated glance but journeyed back into the smoke. He found George first and sent him in the direction of the floo, while he and Fred attempted to get the yellow powder out of the air and into the cauldron. They had to be careful using magic on an already magical substance.
"Did Hermione say what she needed?" Severus shook his head at the low question. Fred sighed. He glanced at the floo, barely visible as it was. "Do you know what's going on between those three?" Severus gave him a questioning grunt as he found an ingredient that collected the powder effectively. He handed a sprig over to Fred and they waved it around collecting the yellow dust in the air.
"Ron, Hermione and Harry. They haven't met up in months. Harry keeps asking us to give them his best, but they won't talk to or about him. Mum is better. For a bit last year she was just weird, avoiding everything about him, now its better and she asks after him, but whenever we bring up a visit she heads us off. Dad hasn't gotten a thing out of her. Bill and Charlie aren't around enough and Ginny isn't talking." Severus looked at the twin. Fred was growling as he deposited the dust in the cauldron.
"Its something Harry should tell you if your family won't." Fred growled at him.
"Harry is my family! But this isn't like when Percy was betraying us. Mum kept trying to bring him home. But not Harry." He had stopped collecting the dust and just stared at the heated discussion George and Hermione were having. "I'm worried about him." Severus looked at Fred.
"Harry's never had a family of his own, except us. I mean how did you feel during that last year when the other professors avoided you?" Severus felt himself shudder. That had hurt. He hadn't realized how important their support had been until it was gone.
"Harry misses them. It helps when he sees you two." Fred looked up in surprise. He really hadn't expected Severus to respond at all. "But he really misses seeing everyone." They were distracted by a shriek from the fireplace. Fred rolled his eyes and went to help his twin sort out whatever problem Hermione had.

Harry was still looking at Minerva in confusion when she let him into her office.
"Unc'le Harry!" Harry spun and caught the little girl as she screamed and ran at him. He looked at his goddaughter in surprise.
"Rose?" She squeezed his neck tighter. He looked at Minerva as he held her close.
"She wanted your help." He walked into the room with his precious bundle as Minerva closed the door. He sat in a chair and transferred the little monkey to his lap.
"What seems to be the problem, Rose?" She snuggled against him as Minerva smiled and pointed. Over in one corner was a stuffed dragon Harry had given her when she was little. He looked at Rose in confusion.
"Rose?" She sniffled.
"Slither doesn't like me anymore! Just like Unc'le Harry doesn't like me." Harry cradled her close.
"Shh. No, Rose. Uncle Harry loved Rose. I will always love you. Why would you think that?" Rose sniffed again.
"Cuz Unc'le Harry hasn't seen Rose in ages. Rose missed Unc'le Harry!" Minerva hid a smile behind her tea cup. She knew Rose could speak better then that.
"Rose, I love you. Always and forever. I just haven't been to visit recently." Rose frowned.
"Why?" Harry frowned this time, not sure what to say to the child. He didn't want to blame her parents, regardless of their culpability, but he didn't want to lie either.
"Uncle Harry wanted Rose to be safe." She looked at him with her big brown eyes.
"But Unc'le Harry protects Rose." Harry was at a loss. He glanced over at the toy.
"Why do you think Slither doesn't like you anymore?" Rose pouted.
"A'cuz she won't tell Unc'le Harry what I say anymore. and she won't let Rose near her anymore." Harry could see tears start int he child's eyes again.
"Well, lets see about that then." He picked her up and they went over to the dragon. He could feel the shield Minerva had told him about, but it didn't have any new magic in it. Harry felt the shield with his fingers and smiled.
"Rose, Slither is lonely. Slither doesn't think you want her anymore." Rose looked up at Slither. Harry held her in front of the toy. She eyed the toy hopefully. Suddenly she reached out and ran to it, wrapping it in her arms. Harry smiled as he wrapped her and the toy in his arms. He ran a diagnostic on the toy. His spells were still in place so if it wasn't tell him what she said for it to, then there was a ward on Ron's house that prevented it.
"Rose. Uncle Harry loved you. But right now Uncle Harry can't see you or Slither, so you two will have to keep each other company a little while, okay?" Rose nodded sadly. Minerva smiled.
"Come, We'll go have a snack in the great hall before going home." Rose nodded excitedly and ran to get her cloak. Harry shook his head.
"She had put a protego around it. Is she still walking through wards?" Minerva nodded. Rose had the ability to walk through wards like they weren't even there. They had yet to find one that even registered her presence, much less stopped her. It worried Harry some. Hermione had been pregnant for her when the twins shop had been attacked once. One of the last groups of Death Eaters. She had said she was fine, but Harry had felt something was wrong.
They were halfway to the great hall when Rose let go of Minerva and Harry and scampered off. Harry had tried to reach out to grab her, but she ran away laughing.
000
Severus was starting to get a headache from the argument happening in his floo. Apparently one of the Weasley products had been left at their house and had covered the entire house in stick green and black feathers. Hermione had tried everything, but couldn't get it up. Severus could relate to the frustration, but complaining about it and scolding the two wasn't helping them. He always subscribed to the practice of figure out and solve first, scold and punish after. It was up there next to his safety first belief when it came to children.
He turned towards the door as it opened a little girl scampered in his quarters. Speaking of children. What the devil? He stood and strode over to his bedroom where the little scamp had disappeared to in a hurry. The child shouldn't have been able to get past his wards, or Harry's. He found her curled up on his bed wrapping herself in the scarlet blanket Harry had brought from his quarters.
"And you are?" His voice was mostly curious as he peered inside the cave of blankets at the child. She giggled and leaped at him. Severus stepped backwards toe check their momentum and keep himself from falling as the toddler clung to him. He was at a bit of a loss. Children didn't simply cling to him! He started to leave the bedroom and see if he could get the the twins to help him with this ... situation. Unfortunately he hadn't taken more then a step when the girl cried out, reaching for the blanket she had been swaddled in.
He sighed and grabbed it, covering the child and left to his living room. Hermione had apparently decided to finish her discussion in person, for she was now standing in his living room as well. They all stopped and stared at him when he entered half covered in a red blanket.
"Professor?" The twins grinned.
"Hey Prof that's-"
"-a good look for you." Severus scowled at them, but the girl looked over the edge of the blanket and shrieked in his ear.
"Uncle Fred! Uncle George!" Instantly all three adults looked at her started as she fairly leaped out of Severus' grip and onto her uncles.
"Well, that solves who the brat is." Severus' muttering went ignored as Hermione rushed to her daughter.
"Rose, what on earth are you doing in the dungeon. Where's Minerva?" Rose frowned at her mother.
"Rose found Unc'le Harry!" Hermione looked a bit white at that, but Severus sent off his patronus immediately. If the brat was here alone, she had obviously gotten away from her watchers. He blinked when a silvery snake came out instead of his normal doe. He sent it on to Harry and Minerva, letting himself think about that change later.
"Rose, I think its time we were heading home." Rose frowned and shook her head.
"No, Rose stay here. Here has Unc'le Harry!" Severus eyed the girl. Perceptive little thing. He hadn't realized how much the blanket smelled and felt like Harry. Hermione frowned.
"Rose, honey, this is Professor Snape's quarters, not Harry's and you can't stay with Harry right now." Severus glanced at the twin's with a raised eyebrow. The twins certainly knew Harry lived here. Harry was the one they talked to when they were planning to come half the time. The twins shook their head quickly. Rose scampered away from her mother at this. Severus had been content to leave the domestic squabble to the family, but the girl was heading for his potion stocks. Since he was experimenting with Fred and George they were open.
He leaped forward as she bumped the side of the shelves and a jar fell towards her. No one could react fast enough to shield the child. Thankfully they didn't have to. She shrieked, but the jar bounced off a shield that had sprung up around the child. She looked up and giggled. Severus let out a sigh of relief even as the brat ran off again. He felt Harry's magic in that shield and assumed it was the toy she was carrying around. Hermione sighed.
"At least her accidental magic is protecting her now as opposed to blowing thing up." Severus looked at her in confusion. He heard Rose giggle from his bedroom again.
"Rose Marie Weasley, you get out here this instant!" Severus seemed jumped at that tone. Everyone in the room did. When Minerva McGonagall used that tone, you hopped to it. So apparently did the child. Severus turned from the sad, scuffling child re-entering the room to see Minerva and Harry at the door. Harry knelt down with a relieved sigh.
"Rose, are you okay?" Rose nodded slowly. "Rose you frightened us. We didn't know where you had gone. Please don't so that again." Severus marveled at the mixture Harry was able to put in his voice of admonishment and plea. Rose nodded.
"I'm sorwy Unc'le Harry." Severus rolled his eyes at the baby-speak the girl was using, noting that it worked with Harry. The Gryffindor practically melted and opened his arms for her to run into.
"Harry?" It was then that Hermione spoke again. He saw Harry freeze out of the corner of his eye. He turned to Minerva.
"Thank you Head Mistress. I think we'll return Rose to her mother here." Minerva glanced at Harry a moment before nodding.
"Remember, Harry, a talk when you're done." Harry nodded to her distractedly and she stepped out. Hermione nodded her thanks to him and glanced at Fred and George. The twins had simply started setting up their experiment again. Severus doubted they were going to continue with Rose present but it was clear they were not leaving.
"Harry..." She glanced at the other three in the room. "Perhaps we had better talk in your room." Harry was looking a bit defeated. Severus knew better. Harry could never stand up to his family. He was still afraid to stand up to Severus a lot of the time. Severus had just gotten very good at reading his lover.
-Flashback-
Severus frowned at the owl in front of him.
"I told you, I don't know where Potter is. Go check his office!" Hedwig didn't budge, just staying on his chair blinking at him. He waved his hand irritably at the bird without effect. Eventually, getting very sick of the bird gaze, he lifted the bird and stalked out of his quarters, intent on finding the bird's owner. As he had suspected he found the other professor in his office, drinking juice. Harry only really drank tea with Severus or when forced to by another professor.
"Professor, your bird seems under the impression that you were hiding in my quarters somewhere." Harry looked up from staring off into space in surprise as teh owl hooted and flew to him from the professor's shoulder. Harry petted her.
"Hey girl. What's wrong?" She chirped and nibbled his hair affectionately. He smirked and turned to Severus.
"Thanks, I don't know what got into her." Severus nodded, not quite able to decipher the odd look in Harry's eye. He had gone only a few steps away from the office before his curiosity got he better of him. He froze in the action of knocking again.
"Going to Severus. Hedwig I can take a hint, but its his decision. They're his quarters and its his life." Severus frowned a moment, letting his hand fall to his side. "Maybe some day I'll be welcome." Severus' eyes narrowed. Had he made his quarters unwelcoming in some way? Did Harry not realize how much Severus wanted him there?
"Come on girl, I'll take you back to the Owlry. The day that he lets me stay there after we're together, I"ll let you know, m'kay?" Severus felt his eyes widen as he backed up into a dark corner in the hallway, letting Harry pass. He thought back. He was always the one who indicated when the evening ended. He would either mention that he should get back to his room or Harry probably had to be going when they had calmed down or stopped talking. He had always thought Harry would say something if it wasn't necessary.
The next night, they were laying on Severus' couch, just cuddling when he felt Harry's day catch up to him. Harry's body finally relaxed into sleep, despite his desire to stay awake. Severus just smiled as Harry pulled him closer in his sleep. Severus didn't have a single nightmare that night.
-End Flashback-
Harry had tried to apologize the next day, but Severus had silenced him with a good morning kiss and a scathing remark regarding manners. Harry had just smiled shyly, looking very much the cute brat he was. Severus learned to identify the look of when Harry wanted something, but couldn't or wouldn't says so. Like telling everyone they were together. He didn't want to tell the public. Severus just shuddered at the storm of Howlers he would expect then, but the professors and the Weasleys. Since Severus was closest to Fred and George they were the first. Harry had been so happy when they found out. He had looked forward to tell Ron and Hermione. But first, Severus wasn't going to let then back Harry into a corner alone. Not when he didn't want to be.
"You are in his room." Severus crossed his arms as Harry and Hermione stared at him. Both he and Harry were very private, but not around their family. The professors and the Weasley's were family. Hermione looked to be attempting a cross between an indignified squawk and a befuddled gape. She looked at Harry for confirmation. Harry shrugged sheepishly before nodding.
"They've made you move in with Professor Snape?" Severus bristled at the implied insult that Harry needed a watcher, but Harry frowned.
"I wanted to move in with Severus." He glanced at the child in his arms. She was probably the reason he hadn't pointed out that they were lovers. Hermione frowned as the floo flared behind her.
"Herms, you there? This place is still full of feathers, you know." Ron's head appeared a moment. His face turned black at he spotted Harry and stepped through. He glared at Harry but looked at his daughter.
"Rose, baby, lets go home. Its naptime." Rose frowned at him a moment before grinning.
"O'tay." He wriggled out of Harry's arms and scampered over to Severus. After gathering the blanket in her arms she went over to the bedroom and smiled at everyone. "Nightie Night!" Severus frowned at the shut door. That was probably not what the Weasley had meant. He then smothered a grin, the girl was staying though. Only Harry or Severus could open that door. She was going to be a wonderful addition to the Slytherin House one day, if her parents didn't put up too much of a fuss. Ron sighed and looked at Severus.
"Sorry about this Professor." Severus just nodded once. Ron glanced at his brothers and Severus. "We should talk." They all knew it was directed at Harry, but none of them moved to leave. Severus, in fact, settled himself into his chair with his cup of tea. Fred answered his brother.
"Yes we really-"
"-do need to talk." Ron, like everyone else in the family, ignored their double speak and shook his head.
"I meant Harry, Herms, and I." Severus was about to sneer at the redhead when the twins spoke up.
"Oh no-"
"-you don't. This involves Harry-"
"-then this involves us. after all-
"-we are all family." Severus sat back, smirking. He knew the twins would stand up for Harry.
-Flashback-
Harry wrapped his arms around Severus from behind as the Potions Master pulled himself from the Potions journal he was buried in. He looked over at the brunette, smirking slightly.
"Its very difficult to read a potions article when you do that." Harry nuzzled him as he informed the boy of this fact.
"I'll take that as a compliment." Severus gave him an amused glare that Harry answered by covering his mouth and plundering it with his tongue. Severus gripped the arms of the chair, letting the journal fall to the floor. Harry's talented tongue stroked his, drawing an aroused moan from the man. They both heard a chuckle.
Harry sprang away from Severus as the twins' heads appeared in the floo.
"That's not how I read potions journals, what about you Gred?" The other one shook his head.
"Nope, not me Forge. Mayhap we should try it." Their identical grins beamed at the two professors.
"Do you find that-"
"-you learn more that way Professor?" Severus growled at them and waved them through. Harry had yet to be present for one of their little experiment sessions. They stepped through easily as Harry tossed Severus a confused glance. The first one that came through bounded over and slapped Harry on the shoulder.
"Attaboy Harry! You caught a smart one." His twin grinned as well as he straightened from his trip through the floo.
"Harry? Attaboy Professor Snape! You caught a powerful one!" He, thankfully, withheld from giving Severus an identical slap that Harry had received. Harry seemed a bit unsure.
"So, you guys are okay with this?" They looked at each other and Severus braced himself for their mutual response.
"Are you-"
"-both happy?" They nodded, well, Severus more jerked his head, but they got the drift. Their faces broke into identical smiles.
"Excellent!"
-End Flashback-
They had accepted it then and there, no problems. They had taken both of them aside and asked them both not to hurt the other. Severus had felt warm at the thought that they were looking out for him. He wasn't worried about them looking out for Harry. Ron turned to him in frustration. Aware enough of his brothers to know better then to fight with them.
"If we could borrow your sitting room Professor. We'd go upstairs, but my daughter has commandeered your bedroom, so unless you plan on removing her..." Severus nodded to him once.
"Feel free to make yourselves at home." Harry was glaring at Severus now. He knew Severus had no intention of budging, but he didn't need to make fun of Ron to do it. Severus ignored him.
"Sir, if we could have some privacy." Severus nodded and they all felt the wards go up. Ron sighed. "Sir, I meant could you please leave us." Severus smiled evilly at the youngest Weasley male.
"I'm very comfortable right where I am." Harry stepped forward, deciding it was time to intervene.
"Ron-"
"Listen here. I apologize for invading you quarters but this is none of your business!" Ron's training as an Auror had done his temper a world of good, it seemed. Pity Severus was feeling equally incensed at the situation.
"I'm making it my business." Ron growled and turned to Harry.
"You work with the greasy git, you tell him to beat it!" Severus jumped to his feet.
"Don't you dare-" He didn't finish because Harry had gripped Ron's shirt.
"DON'T CALL HIM THAT!" Severus halted as Harry shouted in Ron's face. Severus was glad for the silence spell he had placed on his bedroom when he raised the wards, or Rose would be awake by now. Ron was looking at Harry like the boy was crazy.
"What are you talking about! This doesn't concern him! I have no intention of explaining why I won't let you near my family in front of him!" Apparently Auror training hadn't helped his temper completely. Harry's wind had been knocked out at that. Severus kept his eye on him, worried that he might collapse at that. The twins jumped in on that.
"What the hell-"
"-are you talking about! Why would you keep-"
"-the family away from Harry!" Ron fairly exploded at them.
"Because he's a dangerous freak!" He couldn't have hurt Harry more if he had wanted to. He didn't really have the chance either. Severus had him by the collar before he could even take a breath.
"Never. Call. Him. That. Again." He fairly breathed the words at Ron. He wasn't shouting, he wasn't shaking, he wasn't even breathing hard. His voice was low and even and furious. Ron's eyes went impossibly wide. Even Hermione seemed shocked.
"Ron!" Ron started to tremble as he looked down. Severus released him to fall back against the mantle. The twins came forward as Severus stalked to Harry.
"Why Ron!" Ron was still shaking as he tried to stand.
"I saw. I saw there. I saw the day He was killed. I saw His aura. I saw Harry's. It was the same. It's too powerful!" He looked at Harry. "It wasn't light magic." Severus looked at Harry in concern when his first attempt to respond ended in a croak. He cleared his throat and tried again.
"Of course not." Severus wanted to reach out to his lover, but in front of everyone, it wouldn't be well received. The second he touched Harry, the man would collapse into his arms and he needed to finish talking first. "Ron, I use his wand's brother. I contained a piece of his soul. I still have the scar endowed with his magic. I'm not a light wizard, Ron." They heard Hermione gasp as Ron's eyes widened in betrayal. "I'm not a dark wizard, but I killed the Voldemort." Severus held in a hiss at the imagined pain that name still brought him. "He was a Dark Lord, but I still killed, Ron. I will never be a Dark Wizard, but I can't ever be a light one. That was my sacrifice for our world." He was beginning to shake as he spoke.
"And what if you had lost control that day?" Ron's tongue found itself, much to Severus' irritation. "You were levitating a barn over my daughter, sister and wife! You-" Severus cut him off.
"He was repairing an exploding barn over his goddaughter, brother and two sisters, whom he had put under powerful shields." Severus' sneer came through clearly. The twins seemed to find their own tongues at this point.
"You're angry at Harry-"
"-for protecting our family?" Ron shook his head as he stared at Harry.
"Harry protects the people he cares about even when he isn't there! That toy your daughter carries protected her earlier." Hermione looked at him in astonishment.
"I though she did that." Severus shook his head.
"This is a school. Accidental magic isn't allowed here. Otherwise our classes would be impossible. Think Girl!" Hermione bristled at the stab at her intelligence.
"It under control?" Ron's question received the sneer it was worth of. He looked at Hermione. They seemed to communicate for a moment. She finally stepped forward.
"Harry, we're sorry." He just stared at her. "We were frightened for our daughter and for you. We couldn't bear to see you go through that." She bit her lip when Harry didn't respond. "If its okay, lets meet up tomorrow and talk. Help us understand." Severus wasn't sure Harry was taking in much anymore.
"He'll contact you later when your daughter wakes up." Severus stepped between them, effectively ending the conversation and dismissing them at the same time. Ron and Hermione looked to protest, but a hand from the twins and they nodded. It seemed that they still trusted Severus at least. He nodded to the twins to head out as well. They could finish the experiment later. They looked at Harry in concern.
"Will he-"
"-be okay?" Severus just nodded towards the floo and they left. As soon as they had stepped on the floo, Severus had turned to Harry. He gathered Harry into his arms as the boy collapsed as Severus thought he might. Severus held him close as he felt wracking sobs tear through his body. He held him close. This wasn't the first time Harry had broken down because of that word.
Freak
-Flashback-
Severus was looking up at his companion as he stretched in the early morning light. This was only the second time he had awakened to Harry's presence and he wasn't sure what he would do when Harry left. He was sure that eventually the desirable young man would find someone else, but until then Severus would take all he could get from him. He smiled slightly and let himself roll for a better look at the currently shirtless Harry, who hadn't notice him waking yet. Harry rubbed his hair and turned to sit on the far side of the futon. Severus' smile vanished as he got a good look at his back.
He had never looked before. That first time after the shower he was too stunned and afterward, he had always been so focused on Harry's front. He reached out tentatively and touched one of the marks. Harry's body was flooded with tension at the touch. Severus sat up and placed his arms over his shoulders.
"Are all those from the Dark Lord?" His regret for not protecting Harry forefront in his mind as he hugged Harry back towards him. He was surprised when Harry resisted.
"No." Harry pulled away and pulled on his shirt, irritably. "They're reminders." Severus looked at him in confusion.
"Reminders? Of what?" He stretched the sleep out of his muscles and stood, reaching for his wand to replace the futon with his couch again. He turned to Harry when he realized the other hadn't answered. "Harry?" Harry tensed up.
"They remind me of what I am." Severus felt his hackles rise at that statement as Harry grabbed his robe and stormed out of the quarters.
Severus had barely started his second class for the day when he heard about Harry again. It seemed DADA was a bad class to have today. The professor had decided to give out double his normal homework and was barking at everyone. He watched as the normally jovial professor stormed out halfway through dinner, having finished early. He stopped Minerva from going after him. She looked at him a moment, but nodded.
"Kindly see if he'll rein in this temper tomorrow. The students are talking about someone poisoning him." Severus nodded and headed for Harry's office, pretty certain that was where the stubborn brat was hiding.
It was, alright.
It had been weeks since Harry had vented and unloaded at Severus. That was what he had been doing back when Severus had first been bringing him the tea. It looked like he needed to though. He surveyed the damage to the normally neat office. It looked like a tornado had come through, or a very irate wizard.
"I often wondered if you guys would have gotten on." Severus' eyebrow raised in question. "I figured them, you and Voldie and everyone who hated me would be in one room. You could have all had a great big laugh at my expense." Severus swallow the indignant response since Harry was talking in past tense. Besides he wasn't any closer to understanding who Harry was referring to.
"What happened?" Later he would berate himself for asking that instead of some variation of 'What are you talking about?' Still this question did give him answers. Harry fairly exploded, ripping his shirt off.
"You want a list! Fine!" He turned a points to a scar near his shoulder. "Here is where the door of the cupboard caught me when Uncle Vernon thought I hadn't cut the grass fast enough! This cut was when my cousin blamed me for his grades. This burn was when I burned breakfast on Dudley's eighth birthday! This cut was from Aunt Petunia's frying pan when I dropped the casserole for dinner because she had broken my wrist earlier. This one-" Severus grabbed Harry's hands, stopped the list, his heart in his throat.
"Harry! Stop, Harry!" Harry shoved him, but he held on tight. "Are these all from your relatives?" Harry broke free of him.
"YES! They are from my 'relatives'." He sneered that word. "They are there to remind me of what an ungrateful freak I am!" Severus froze as the boy exploded. "each and every one of them! So I never forget what a selfish burden I am! I-mmrph!" Severus had stopped the rant the only way he knew how. His kiss was punishing at first, but slowly it became needy. Severus felt his heart crying in his chest at the child Harry had been. He had felt so guilty being unable to protect him from the Dark Lord, but he had failed him in this way too.
"I don't believe it! There is nothing you can tell me that will ever convince me that any of those adjectives apply to you, or have ever applied to you." His hands were grasping Harry's shoulders tightly as he shook them. Harry looked at him with his watery green eyes. Severus pulled at him gently.
"Come. Please Harry. Come with me." Severus led Harry back down to the dungeons, magically scanning for any students, but they were all still eating. He let them into his quarters and pulled Harry into a hug.
"I'm sorry. I failed to protect you from this. I"m sorry Harry." Harry looked at Severus as the dark man let his hand brush his cheek gently. He pulled Harry into his bedroom and into his arms. Harry wrapped his arms around him. Severus accepted the kiss Harry gave him, letting it sooth away the hurt a bit. He backed Harry up to the bed and encased him under his older body. It wasn't sexual. It wasn't erotic. It was warm and comforting. He sighed as he felt Harry shake with his first sobs. He carded his fingers through the messy hair and surrounded Harry as he cried for himself. Severus held him.
"You're safe, Harry. You're safe."
-End flashback-
It was several months before Severus realized his attraction to the closet. He had put padding on all the walls and ceiling and blankets on the floor, all emerald green. Harry had taken one look at it and broken down into tears.
-Flashback-
Severus watched as Harry stormed into the quarters and went directly for the closet. He had been having a hard week anyway. He had gotten a letter explaining that his Aunt was ill, dying. He was swinging wildly between feeling sad and being apathetic about it. Severus had noticed the bruises he gave himself when he crawled into that closet and had decided to at least protect Harry from the closet, if he couldn't protect him from his past. Harry probably didn't even know Severus knew, or was in the quarters. He just pulled open the closet door and made to enter. He froze upon opening the door. Severus rose quietly. He went over to Harry, quite alarmed when the younger man let his legs give out from under him.
"Harry?" Harry was looking at the closet, tears streaming down his face. Severus panicked a bit. Maybe he should have left it as it was. It was Harry's safe place after all. He was about to reach forward and remove it when he had his arms full of a tearful Harry. Severus rubbed his back, not really sure what to do. He had never seen Harry cry before a few months ago.
"Thank You."
-End Flashback-
Severus leaned back against the couch behind him. That word still stalked his lover it seemed. He lifted Harry up and onto the couch and joined him, laying down holding his young lover. Harry was still in his early twenties. He deserved to be able to cry a bit longer.

Severus awoke to a small hand pulling at his sleeve. He looked down at Rose's sad face in question.
"Are you okay?" She nodded as he noticed a vital detail. His arms were currently Harry-less. Rose climbed onto the couch next to him.
"Are you Unc'le Harry's other half?" Her innocent question sent shivers through him. He was not ready to answer that question.
"What do you mean? Do you know where Harry is?" And if anyone caught him talking to this three-year-old he'd hex him six ways to Sunday.
"That's what Mommy calls Daddy. Her other half. And she says she's his other half." He eyed the child. Definitely a Slytherin. She pointed to the closet. "Unc'le Harry is in there. Is he pretending to be a cloak?" Severus sighed.
"No he isn't, I think its time you returned home to your parents." She frowned. She hopped down from the couch.
"I don't want to. Mommy and Daddy don't like people like me." Severus looked at her in panicky confusion. He may not have a best opinion of her parents, but there was one thing he was certain of, they adored their daughter.
"What gave you that impression?" She looked at him.
"What's 'impression'?" He sighed.
"feeling. What made you feel that way?" She nodded, repeating the word to herself a moment before answering.
"When Unc'le Harry made lots of magic they were mad. So I only do little magic near Mommy and Daddy because they don't like big magic. But big magic is fun! I do it by Hagrig." Severus looked at the child, alarmed. She did what? He knelt in front of her.
"Rose, what type of 'big' magic did you do?" She regarded him a moment.
"Are you going to be mad?" He shook his head.
"No, I will be 'mad'." She thought about it a moment.
"Well, I make the pumpkins bigger cuz they are cool when they are big and I made Hagrig's house green, but he didn't like that so I made it red instead. I turned the tables in the big eating place green instead." Severus stared at her a moment. She performed magic on items within Hogwarts. On items in Hogwarts that in his two decades of inhabitance hadn't accepted student changes, attempted or otherwise. Hagrid at least was aware of her magic, but he probably hadn't recognized it.
"Have you done any other 'big' magic?" She thought and shrugged, which Severus decided with some alarm to mean she did, but too many times to recount. A powerful brat. "Twinkle!" The house elf appeared. "Please see if you can find Rose something to eat. Rose will you talk with Twinkle for a bit?" She nodded. Severus left her to approach the closet where his lover was. With her temporarily safe, he needed to find out where his lover stood.
Harry was staring at his hand when Severus opened the closet. Severus leaned against the door and waited.
"Is Rose okay? I know she peaked in earlier." Severus nodded.
"She wanted to know if I was your other half. She's eating and talking with Twinkle." Harry smiled wanly.
"I hadn't realized how much that word still hurt." Severus nodded.
"I believe Mssr Weasley was as surprised to hear himself say that as anyone." He looked at the brunette. "Harry, I do not believe he meant it, even before you explained yourself." Harry nodded. He looked at Severus.
"Even if he did, its not true." Severus huffed in agreement and Harry smiled. "You don't believe it-" Severus glared at him. "So I won't."
"Good brat." Harry grinned.
"I'm not a brat." Severus ruffled his hair, snorting.
"We have another problem, brat." Harry glared at him in question. He nodded his head towards Rose's direction. "Your goddaughter is a powerful little thing." Harry sat straight, always attentive when dealing with his family.
"What? I know no wards can hold her but..." Severus shook his head, though this did explain how the child had gotten into his room.
"She transformed the tables in the great hall green after doing something similar to Hagrid's cottage."
"Hagrid's cottage is green? He wouldn't like that." Severus rolled his eyes.
"As I understand he protested and she turned it red." Harry's confusion cleared some.
"That's how his hut changed to red? Filius spent nearly four hours trying to figure out how he did that." Harry considered his goddaughter. Thinking back at all the times she had used magic.. Severus allowed himself a small smile, recognizing the look of intellectual curiosity in his partner. Harry's curiosity from his school days had morphed into an intellectual one as he became more involved in his field. He held out a hand and was relieved when Harry gripped it to pull him out of the closet. He let Harry go over and talk to Rose a bit alone, checking on his potions ingredients from the day. He was just finished putting them away when Harry returned with Rose.
"Rose, how about you talk to Severus a moment while I do something and then I'll take you home, okay?" Rose smiled and nodded. She looked at Severus a moment and then looked at Harry.
"Unc'le Harry, I like your other half." Severus froze looking at the girl in amazement. Harry smirked.
"He is a keeper isn't he?" She nodded happily. "A perfect other half." He gave Severus a wicked smirk as he went into their room. Severus felt himself ready to float away. He looked down at Rose and smiled slightly.
"It appears you approve of me?" Rose smiled happily and nodded. "Indeed." She giggled. Harry came back.
"Rose, this is a focus stone. It will help you control the big magics. In a few days I"ll come and we'll all talk to your parents, okay?" Rose nodded solemnly, letting Harry put on the bracelet. It held a small pink sapphire. Harry smiled. "It looked beautiful." She nodded to him.
"Indeed." He snorted and glanced at Severus, who was looking very proud of himself indeed.
"Yes, well, say good bye." She patted Severus on the knee.
"Good bye Unc'le Sev'rus."
"Have a good evening Rose." Harry smiled at Severus.
"Yes, a good evening. You might have one to, if you care to try the present I left you on your pillow." Rose clapped.
"Oh, like the tooth fairy? Oh, what's evening, Unc'le Harry?" Rose's voice faded as Harry flooed with her to the Weasley residence. Severus shook his head. 'Indeed' He glanced at the bedroom. They hadn't had dinner, but when that happened they would simply incorporate food into their activities. Severus walked into the bedroom, feeling the wards Harry had already raised. He would probably raise the remainder when he returned. He saw a small rubber ball on his pillow. He read the note under it.
Squeeze me if you don't like it. To activate simply say Bind Me. Best done on the bed and without clothes :)
Severus regarded the ball a moment. Apparently he was supposed to hold it. He placed his wand on the night stand and climbed on the bed. He waved his clothes away and regarded the ball once more.
"Bind Me."
000
Harry dropped off Rose and took a moment to talk to Hermione and Ron, explaining that they needed to talk with Rose about her magic. They agreed to meet up for dinner in a few days. Ron was going to talk with his mother, if the twins hadn't gotten to her first. They all had some explaining to do. Harry nodded and went to step back through when Ron stopped him.
"Harry? Hermione tells me you live with Snape now. You okay?" Harry looked at Ron and smiled for the first time since he arrived at their house that evening.
"Better then okay. He's perfect." Ron just gave him a skeptical look as Harry flooed away. Stepping into the sitting room, he felt out and felt that Severus had activated his gift. He called Twinkle for the food he had asked for earlier and asked him to send his apologies to Minerva. He would speak to her on the morrow. He grinned as he made his way to the bedroom, food levitating behind him. He stopped and stared at the picture in front of him.
When Severus had said those words, vines had crept out of the ball. He just held it a moment, waiting. The vine crawled up his arm and behind his neck and down the other, very lazily. He was about to wonder what it planned when it reached his other wrist. After that it moved quickly from there, binding his wrist together behind his back. Another vine separated and sped up and round his head, enlargening enough to create an effective ball gag. He felt a piece reach down, separate and nuzzle inside him, hardening slightly and a ring forming an effective cock ring. He was panting by this time when the connection between the ring and the butt plug started gently caressing the skin between his balls and his hole. He felt that in his entire body. He jerked at he felt his length thicken under the cock ring. The gentle caress didn't cease as he pulled on the bonds, feeling sweat form on his skin.
This was delicious view Harry returned to. He reached out and connected to the vine. It stopped moving, letting Severus catch his breath and look up with fevered eyes. He was panting around the gag.
"I see you're enjoying my gift, Sev." Severus couldn't even grunt in agreement as he tried to recover from the stimulation he had been under. He shifted, breath catching when the butt plug shifted with him. Harry hadn't used one often, one of Severus' few likes that Harry was questionable about. It made Severus all the more sensitive to them when he did use it. He swallowed, letting his control slip back into place. Harry smirked at him. The vines snaked down and bound Severus' ankles in a stiff bond two feet apart. Not far enough for the plug to fall out or be painful, but not close enough together for his thighs to touch. Also, unless he lay on his back or front it forced his leg to spread forward back which pulled deliciously at the plug.
Harry waited until he was no longer quivering before he picked up a strawberry from the tray on the side. He kissed it and licked it before popping it in his mouth, letting the juice paint his lips red. Severus' lust-filled eyes watched as the juice dribbled down Harry's chin. Harry reached out and the gag removed itself. He brought a strawberry in front of Severus and with a sultry look at Harry, Severus reached out with his tongue and took the strawberry. He still had weapons in this state. Harry smirked. He leaned over and licked the juice from Severus' lips. Harry picked up another berry and placed it between his teeth before feeding it to Severus, backing out in time to keep the bound man from Harry mouth itself. They went through several strawberries, apple slices and raspberries this way. Severus had gotten used the plug by now, at least that was until Harry decided to return the gag and touch the vine. He felt the plug vibrate slightly as Harry manually wiggled it. Severus moaned around the gag. Harry sat between his legs, spreading them wider. At some point the vines must have released Severus, but he hadn't noticed. The vines around his wrist released him and he immediately grabbed Harry, only for Harry to grab them and place them above his head on the bed. Severus looked up at Harry just above him.
"God you are so hot!" His whisper on Severus' cheek brought Severus to tortuous levels as he felt the vine leave his hole and cock and Harry removed the gag. Instantly his mouth was preoccupied with Harry's as he writhed against the now naked male. The skin on skin contact was than he could take. Harry released his lips to give way to his panting.
"Harry, please." He could barely breath as Harry gently bit his neck.
"Yes, Severus?" Severus gasped out.
"Take me!" Harry smirked in warning as he entered Severus in one quick motion. Severus howled in the dual pain pleasure feeling. Harry must have put some lube on his cock, otherwise he would have torn something. Severus fell into the rough pace Harry set. Waves of turbulent emotion crashed against the battered souls as their magic and their bodies combined until all was white. It was truly perfect.

Harry was playing with Severus' nipple as they recovered. Severus pulled him close.
"I liked the gift." Harry smiled widely at the whisper.
"The twins helped a bit." He felt Severus freeze beneath him.
"You told...?" Harry shook his head.
"I just asked for their help on the timing of it. I couldn't control the vine when I wasn't present. They helped me with presetting the vine a bit." Severus chuckled under him.
"Indeed." That earned him a laugh.
"Oh Ron was less then pleased when Rose used that word when he said it was dinnertime." Severus smiled in pride. Work well done in his opinion.
"So, I assume you ordered more for us for dinner then fruit." Harry chuckled and reached over and grabbed the bowls of roasts potatoes and carrots and pot roast. He picked up a carrot in his mouth and kissed Severus, letting him take the vegetable. Severus grinned as he chewed and swallowed the carrot as Harry got a piece of potato ready. Severus felt loved as Harry fed him. Severus relished the care in his eyes, the way they lite up when he licked his lips or swallowed the morsel of food, the way they stayed locked on him as they picked up another piece of food. Every few bites, instead of taking the food, Severus would reach up and gently pull Harry close enough to kiss him, forcing the food back into his mouth, ensuring his lover ate as well.
Severus reached out for the chocolate pudding before Harry could. Pushing his lover back he gently trailed the chocolate over Harry's cheeks. Leaning forward, he licked the pudding from under one eye and then the other, feeling Harry's muscles melt under him. He stuck his finger in the pudding again and trailed it down his nose and over his chin before letting Harry lick the remaining pudding off his finger. Harry closed his eyes as the warm muscle of his tongue traced his forehead and down his nose. When it caught the pudding on his chin and drifting higher to his lips, he opened them, drawing it in, sucking gently on it. Their tongue intertwined lovingly. Severus broke the kiss to trail down and lick the pudding he had just placed there off of Harry's chest, paying extra homage to the nipples. His slow worship was causing a well of warmth to grow in Harry, spilling out in his eyes and magic as love. Severus lay the pudding aside and crawled up over his youthful lover, lips meeting again.
Harry reached around Severus and drew the dark man against him, skin to skin, heart to heart. He felt one of Severus' lubed hands caress his hole gently, widening it. Severus lifted his hips and thrust slowly into Harry. Harry moaned sweetly as Severus made love to him. They reached completion together.

"We have a busy day tomorrow."
"Indeed"
"You have exams to give."
"Correct"
"I have meetings and exams to prepare."
"True."
"This weekend we can leave for the manor for the summer?"
"Indeed"
"Minerva's going to have a field day."
"Hmmm."
"Sev?"
"Sleep Harry."
Severus smiled truly as Harry cuddled up to him and they both slept.
Hows that for a second chapter? Aren't they cute...and hot? Should I keep going? Hmmm... I'll have to think about it. Pleas review.
