Chapter 2 – Settling in
Harry glanced up at the teachers in front of him and smiled at them.
He was home.
In one swift movement he stood and went to take his place next to professor Snape. As the Headmistress introduced him, Harry took his time looking over at the teachers, taking particular care to avoid Severus who was no doubt mad that he was still alive.
Furthest away was Charlie who grinned at him and winked. He wore dark blues robes with silver and gold highlights that complimented his pretty dark blue eyes. His hair was a little longer and curled around his collar attractively. He still had a nice golden tan that hid his freckles. Neville sat next but one to Charles in leafy green and ocean blue robes, with leaf designs along his shoulders. He grinned at Harry and waved enthusiastically at him. He had totally lost his puppy fat and was tall and lean. He had pretty warm brown eyes and light freckles on his nose. His short shaggy brown hair had cool blonde highlights that suited his warm lightly tanned skin. On Harry's other side a little further away was Draco Malfoy. Draco was as lovely as ever, his face softer then his fathers, pale and pretty as ever but also matured and manlier then Harry's ever could be. His hair was as long as Harry's but perfectly straight and tied up. Draco wore owl grey robes with flashes of silver and a white high necked shirt. Draco glanced over at Harry with a wistful and half smile on his face, nodding in his direction.
Harry had dated all three young Professors in his three years away from Hogwarts and although cared for them all, was unwilling to commit as all three had wanted. Although Harry had had sexual relations with Hermione, he was very much gay and the only women he was attracted to was Hermione. As food arrived on their plates, Harry chanced a look at the professor he had not seen in other three years and was so shocked that he dropped his fork before it reached his mouth. Severus's eyes glanced at him for a second before turning back to his plate, totally ignoring him. Harry was in shock.
Snape was 'GORGEOUS'!
Harry was not quite sure how he had missed it before. The other boys at the table, who were all pretty damn hot in their own ways, held nothing to Snape. Harry had to thank Minerva for burning all of Snape's black robes, of which he had heard all about from the old Scottish witch. Harry could feel his heart pounding against his chest and the swarm of butterflies in his belly had managed to get free of their net.
The first two things Harry noticed, since Snape was sat down, was that he had finally fixed his nose and now looked manly yet adorable, also he noticed that Snape's hair wasn't greasy anymore but soft, silky and thick, all the way down his back. His skin was luminous, radiant and pale against his soft looking skin, and a lovely contrast against the luxurious Slytherin green shirt that gave Harry a sneaky peek at kissable white throat.
As Severus took a sip from his goblet, Harry's attention was held by his pale hands that managed to look manly and strong whilst also being delicate. Harry's eyes traced the long elegant fingertips in awe, trying hard not to imagine what it would feel like being under those fingertips. Harry tried to shake the thoughts from his head and looked up again at the face. In profile Harry could see the prettiest pink lips that were determined to pout whether or not Severus wanted them to, and high cheekbones that beat his own, and resting on those were the longest finest eyelashes Harry ever seen, fanning the cheeks delicately. The eyes were as intense and as dark as ever, able to drown Harry, just by glancing at him.
Severus Snape was the archetypal personification of sex, not sexiness, but pure unadulterated sex. He was so much more masculine and beautiful then anyone he had ever met and it was doing the strangest things to him. Harry tried to get back to eating but just breathing the same air as the smouldering sex-pot was intoxicating.
"Welcome back to Hogwarts …Professor Potter" Snape murmured quietly, not looking away from the great hall. Harry nearly died; the voice was like velvet against bare skin. He was sure that the voice would be able to make him cum alone.
"Thank you, Professor Snape, it's nice to be back" he attempted to be casual, and not do or say anything stupid. It was a failing task, but he would try.
"I must say I am surprised to find it is you filling in the DADA position" Severus did not waste time for pleasantries.
"And why is that?" Harry chanced a glance at the other professor, who continuously stared out at the hall.
"Well you know first hand, that this position is cursed" Snape was surprised when Harry responded to his comment with a laugh, which Snape could not deny was sexy. It was more a giggle then anything else, which sent tingles down his spine.
"The position is not so much cursed, I don't think, Severus, as I remember it was me that removed them" Harry glanced again, this time Snape was looking straight at him. "Quirrell I killed, Lockhart I permanently sent to St Mungo's, Moody's imposter in Azkaban, as well as Umbridge, only you and Lupin managed to stay the full year. Although you managed to ruin Remus's chance as well as your own"
Harry was ready to embarrass himself by either jumping on Severus or getting over excited when Severus chuckled, a sexy unexpected rumble in his throat. It made Harry dig his nails into his chair to stop himself.
"Your right, although between the two of us, we haven't exactly been welcoming to the previous DADA professors" Severus smiled in fondness to the memories. "I mean I threatened Quirrell, ousted Lupin as a wolf, and defied Umbridge by giving you diluted truth-serum and although you weren't aware, I helped resist the Carrows in the last year."
"Taking all that into account, I think I should be resistant to the DADA curse" Harry smiled and turned back to his desert.
"We shall see" was all Snape said, making Harry glance back worriedly.
The pair did not speak for the rest of the evening, but kept glancing back when the other wasn't looking. After the feast Harry excused himself, hoping to get an early night. Severus turned to him.
"Come along then, you will need someone to show you where your apartments are." With that, Harry followed Severus out of the great hall. The idea of being alone with professor Snape did nothing for his self control. The little mantra of 'Do not jump professor Snape, he will hex you' was getting louder and louder in his mind.
However the up side of having Snape walk him to his apartments was that he got to have a proper look at Snape's body. Without the deceiving black robes, getting a proper view of his body was a lot easier and very rewarding.
Although slim, Harry could easily see the muscles rippling underneath. He had long graceful legs and Harry nearly died when he was able to see a tight arse that seemed to beg to be squeezed. Snape mustn't have been aware, but he seemed to swagger, swaying his hips slightly, his black braid swinging from one side to the other gently. His robes still billowed at the bottom, but were so fitted that they clung to the rest of his body appealingly. Harry was surprised that he hadn't been dragged in an alcove and raped repeatedly. Although, he supposed, the scary evil attitude might have stopped them.
Severus noticed that although Harry was small and delicate he reached a nice height, a height made for him to be kissed. It would only take a little effort to push him up against the wall in the alcove and bend his head down a little to capture his lips. His small fragile wrists would be held captive in his bigger hands and the smaller body pushing against him in a vain attempt to push him off him. Neither was aware of the fact that both were thinking similar thoughts and the silence grew as they reached Harry's new apartments. Harry knew that he was close to the Gryffindor entrance, Severus pointed to the room down the hall which was to be his classroom.
"Your office is attached to the classroom, which will be attached to the living area of your apartments, for easier access. The password is Fawkes; you will need to change it when you get in there." Harry nodded
"Thank you Professor Snape" Harry smiled at him, before opening the door and stepping inside. He turned back around and grinned at Severus.
"You know we have actually managed an entire evening without you insulting me, imagine that"
Severus looked at him in silence for a few seconds then shook his head.
"Idiot" before turning away and disappearing down another corridor.
Harry grin widened before he made his way down to Gryffindor common room to speak with his house.
The Gryffindor common room was exactly how Harry remembered it. Warm and inviting, with a burning fire that Harry stood in front as he addressed his house. Normally it would have only been first years and prefects, because he was new, almost the entire house was sat or stood around him, the common room extending to accommodate them. Harry was terrified.
"As you were told, my name is Professor Potter, as well as your head of house; I am also your defence against dark arts teacher. My office is always open for you, if you need to speak with me or have any problems…"
"Any questions?"
Harry looked around the common room at the Gryffindor faces and couldn't believe how young they all looked. He remembered the day of the last battle when he last looked around the common room at his classmates; their faces, their expressions were so much older then this. Harry was so very glad that the lives of these children were safer then before. They would never know the horrors that his classmates had known. They would never know the fear they knew, never have the ability to hate as they had. Harry had never been so thankful to have been part of the force that had rid them of that danger.
Severus sat across from the head mistress, barely hearing what she was saying. His mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Potter.
"What are you thinking about Severus?"
"Potter…" Snape cursed as he realised he had answered her. McGonagall grinned, reminding him of a cat having got the cream. He scowled at her.
"I hate you" He replied, and was even more annoyed when she shrugged and smiled broader.
"Harry has turned into quite the acceptable looking man" Snape stared at the women, stating the obvious.
"I suppose so, if you like that sort of thing" He turned his head away and stuck his nose in the air, silently telling Minerva exactly what he thought.
Minerva merely chuckled.
"Have you heard the rumours that have been going around Harry? In the last three years?" Snape blinked a few times in surprise.
"YOU brought me in her to GOSSIP?"
Minerva blushed, making her look younger and prettier then usual. She sat up straighter and glared at him.
"NO, I was merely remarking…" Minerva trailed off, waiting for Severus's curiosity to get the better of him.
"Go on, what exactly are these rumours?"
Minerva perked up immediately and poured them both some tea.
