A/N It has come too my attention that my way of using figures to describe diferent types of speech is difficult to understand therefore ...
Here is a list:
"Blah" regular speach
"Blah" mental speach
'Blah' thoughts
^Blah^ parslemouth
~Blah~ memory
Explanations
Draco frowned as Harry stepped into the Room, he'd thought that Harry would (as he usually did) calm down in Severus' presence. However, it seemed as if though something had happened.
"Harry." Hermione said in a firm voice.
Harry knew that there would be no getting away now, Hermione wanted answers.
"Draco please tell the truth, I know how much you trust your friends so..." Harry trailed of knowing that Draco didn't need more encouragement.
"Miss Granger, how much information do you have regarding the spies of the war?" Draco asked.
While Draco explained, Harry slowly lowered his mental barriers. And was suddenly hitby a wave of thoughts and feelings. It was way, way to strong to be from just the four that he usually shared his mind with. Slowly, almost hesitantly, he brought it into focus.
'What the...' The thought and emotions that he was feeling/hearing came from everyone on the castle grounds. But how? That didn't... the barriers. Harry quickly realised as he remembered the feeling of the (previously unknown) barriers come tumbling and experimentally Harry raised his barriers until all he could hear were the four people in the Room. That was good, it seemed like he could control it on pure instinct. Then when he was sure that the "sound" wouldn't become a problem he reached out towards the familiar feel of Severus's mind.
"Severus?" He called out.
"Harry!" He could feel Severus's surprise and also something akin to relief.
"I'm sorry." Harry blurted out, sending the first thing that came to mind.
"I reacted weird, I souldn't have ran, sorry," Harry clarifiedas he felt Severus's surprise.
"That's all?" Severus tone gave nothing away, but Harrys new found (and surprisingly easyto control) gift made it easyto understand what was behind the sentence. Harry swallowedas he brought up whatever Gryffindor couragethat he had left.
"I won't apologize for kissing you, 'cuz I don't regret it." Harry said sounding a lot more confident than he really felt.
"You don't?" Severus asked, his mind suddenly guarded and stiff. Harry smiled to himself, it was actuallya lot easierto use "mental speech" withhis weirdability.
"No, I don't." Harry said.
Suddenly he felt an odd warmth, both from his own mind and Severus', the emotion was familiar to the emotion that he felt for Lucius, Draco and Hermione only much, much stronger.
He recognised it; love.
"I love you." Harry reflected out loud.
"I love you to Haz." Severus whisperedsoftly; he sounded almost scared like he was laying his whole life in front of Harry to see and criticise. Harry realised that that was just it, Harry felthis smile broaden, he would gladly give his life to Severus for a second time.
"Harry, Severus?" Draco asked, the last name was hesitant as if he wasn't sure that he was there.
"Yes?" Harry answered in choruswith Severus.
"Granger doesn't look to shockedabout this whole thing, Blaiseand Pansy are making plans to murder you relatives so you have theirsympathyand probably, if you try a litle, their friendship as well," Draco summerised.
"It went well then." Severus commented.
"'Mione kne. I never told her but she has been helping with the injuries and stuff for years." Harry said, as he could feel both Severus's and Draco's confusion about Hermione and her reaction. Or rather lack of such.
"Haz, could you come down here?" Severus asked hesitantly.
"Sure." Harry said happily, reassuringthe hesitant part that Severus rarelyshowed.
"While you're absolutelyadorable when you do that, I do believethat you shouldpay more attention to your surroundings," Lucius voice suddenly brokein.
"Yes, Luc!" All three of them chorused, and then they obediantlyturned their attention to what was going on around them.
Severus found himself in his room holding one of his books, just like it had been when Harry had called him.
Harry and Draco on the other hand found themself laying on the fluffy carpet of the floor of the Room of recuierments, their friends bent over them looking very worried.
Oh shit, they thought in unison.
"Oh Harry!" Hermione shouted as she hugged him aroundhis throat, once again chokingthebreath out of him.
"What happenend?" Blaiseasked softly.
"Nothing. " Draco answered, confused.
"Don't be silly Draco, you really should know better then to lie to me." Pansy rebuked him.
"Draco maybe they are refferingto mental speech, you know it looks weird," Harry said.
"I hate you, you know that?" Draco said grumpily, rubbing at his temples for show.
"I love you to Dray." Harry said grinning like a loved speaking like that, not only did it remind him that he was not alone anymore but all of them hade such funny reactionsto it.
"I somehow get the feling that we're missing something," Hermione said to no one in particular.
"That's because you are." Draco said, suddenly turning to her.
"We call it mentalspeech," Harry piped up.
"Mental speech?" Pansy said doubtfully.
Harry nodded.
"Is it what the name suggests?" Blaise asked.
"More or less." Draco said, launching into an explanation.
"Clock." Harry called out in a commanding voice.
A large clock appeared on the wall, showing fifteen minutes to midnight aka curfew. The five students quickly leapt to their feets and rushed to their dorms.
"Harry, that leads to the dungeons you know." Hermione said as Harry turned alone with the three Slytherins.
"Yep, I know." Harry said,"Severus wanted to see me, he can give me a pass.
Hermione nodded and began running towards the Gryffindor Tower again.
Harry came to a halt in front of Severus's private chambers; the painting of a large, beautiful snake hung in front of him.
*Um... hi* Harryn offered awkwardly.
*Oh,* the snake hissed happily, *the young ssspeaker, I've heard lotsss about you, you're to be let in immediately.*
*Thanksss* Harry hissed to the sanke as it swung inwards, granting him entrance.
"Harry." It wasn't a question, nor a statement. Merely a comfirmation of his existence. Harry couldn't have been more grateful.
"Severus." He whisperedfondly.
Slowly he walked forwards, not because he didn't want to go or because he was hesitant to do so, but because he didn't wish to hurry. He didn't need to, after all, Severus had been inside his mindsince he entered the room. They were already melting together, bringingthem closer to each other with each breath. The physicalcontact that Harry was currently seeking was an added bouns.
Harry buried his nose in Severus chest for the second time that evening.
"Harry?" Severus asked, gaining the younger wizard'sattention.
"Hmm?" Harry asked back, without words.
"What are we?" The elder man asked, even if Harry hadn't been able to feel his Professors' emotions he could have heard uncertaintyand the slight fear in his voice.
"Humans." Harry offered, "Just kidding."
He added softly when he felt somethingakinto horror coming form Severus. He looked up fixating Severus's eyes with his own.
"What do you want us to be?" Harry asked lowering his mental 'voice' to a bare wisper.
Severus looked at him, raising his hand and slowly draggedhis fingers alongside Harry's face. Harry leaned into the touch, a small smile gracing his lips.
"Somehow the word boyfriendseems completely out of place. " Harry mused, still looking into Severus's eyes.
"So lovers?" Harry suggested.
"As long as you're okay with it." Severus said. He soundedsurprised and yet...
Harry smiled as he felt Severus's happines swell. Slowly, as if though he did not want to scare his elder away, he leaned forwards and pressed his lips against his professors.
