A/N: Hey, lovelies! Late update, but you know, I have a life… Atleast during summer. Enjoy chapter 7…

Chapter 7

Harry lay awake in the bedroom in the cabin. He watched the pale morning sun shine through the old, cracked and dusty windows. The rain had stopped but it was still cloudy outside.

The bed was warm and comfortable. It was old and so soft that you sunk down when you lay on it. Their room was pretty ugly, with old dark wallpaper and dusty carpeted floor. It looked like something Sirius' parents would enjoy. Harry didn't like it, but if he closed his eyes he could pretend he was somewhere else, somewhere pretty and airy.

He rested his head against Snape's arm and sighed when Snape woke up and tried to move it.

"Where are we gonna live then?" he asked and broke the silence of their breathing.

"What?" Snape asked sleepily and Harry turned around to look at him.

"When we get married. Where are we gonna live?"

Snape rubbed his eyes and then looked at Harry. "I don't know."

Harry crossed his fingers that Snape would say something about his house, that they shouldn't live there. Because Harry really didn't want to live there. It was so dark and depressing and every time he walked in that place, the only thing he could think of was Snape as a little kid, all sad and abused. Although Snape didn't use that word, that was what he'd been when he was little. Plus, it smelled like cat pee.

"I don't think we should live in Spinner's end."

Yes! Yes! Take that you dark, smelly house!

"We should buy a place."

"A house", Snape added.

"Yeah, with a yard. Some place far-off so we could play quidditch."

"Not a muggle town then?" Snape asked and Harry shrugged. He was lying down so he ended up just rustling the sheets, but Snape got it anyway.

"That doesn't matter to me. It should be light. We could have a potions room", he ended with a smile.

Snape stroked his cheek. "Yes."

Harry looked down at Snape's chest. "What about kids? Do you want kids?"

They hadn't even mentioned it before. Harry breathed in slowly, trying to cover up how nervous he was. Harry wanted kids. He did, even though it didn't seem like he did. Maybe he didn't want them right now, but some day. He wanted a family, a real one. He wanted that little life inside him.

"Can you see me as a father?" Snape asked and it might have seemed lighthearted and joking, if he'd smiled saying it.

Harry thought about it. Could he see Snape as a father? "Yeah. Definitely."

Snape closed his eyes and Harry moved closer to him.

"We don't have to think about that right now, do we?" Snape asked and Harry smiled.

"No. Definitely not", Harry said and kissed Snape. "You know, I don't have a proper ring."

"Right", Snape said. "Do you want one?"

"I don't know..." Harry said thoughtfully.

"Wait..." Snape said and turned away. He came back again with his wand. "Give me your hand."

Harry did and watched Snape point his wand at his finger. There was a chill and a simple ring appeared. It was just silver, no stone or engravement. It fit perfectly.

Harry smiled and touched the cool metal. "I like it."

Snape smiled too. "Good."

"So, when do you wanna get going?" Harry said after kissing Snape.

Snape smirked. "Not soon."

"Yeah?" Harry asked and kissed Snape again, this time slowly. "So what do you wanna do until then?"

"Hm..." Snape mumbled. "Maybe we can think of some-"

He was interrupted by a knock at the door and Hermione's excited voice. "Harry? Harry! Oh, sorry... Are you busy?"

"Yes", Snape mumbled, but Harry smiled and got up to open the door. It opened to reveal a grinning Hermione, in a red T-shirt and a pair of pale jeans, with her bushy hair in a messy braid. She looked like she'd just gotten up from bed.

"Ron really can't keep his mouth shut, can he?" Harry said and Hermione pounced on him, giving him a big hug.

"Harry!" she shrieked again. "I can't believe you're getting married!"

"Sorry, mate", Ron said from behind her. "I couldn't help it. She's a bloody spy or something, I tell you."

"It's fine", Harry said through Hermione's hair and smiled.

Ron looked over Hermione's shoulder and saw Snape in the bed. "Whoah... I'll just wait out here."

Hermione finally let him go and looked at him smiling, then she turned to Snape. "Congratulations!"

"Thank you", Snape said and Harry could hear the rustling of sheets as he pulled them higher up on his chest.

"When did this happen?" she said, still grinning. "Ron was pretty vague."

"Um, Sunday, I mean yesterday morning. Or Saturday night, I don't know."

"So when are you going to... I mean have you set a date?"

"No", Harry said. Why hadn't they set a date? "We haven't really talked about it."

"Better do it soon", Ron said from the hallway. "Amanda and Sirius are getting married too, right, 'Mione?"

"Why would they... Because of the baby?" Harry asked.

"Well, not just because of the baby", Hermione laughed. "But, yeah. And... You're not pregnant...?"

"I already asked", Ron said.

Harry laughed nervously, it was a laugh that was instead of that dreaded question, 'why does everyone ask me if I'm pregnant?'. Couldn't Harry and Snape marry just because they were in love? Or was that so unthinkable? Was it because Harry was so much younger than Snape? Was it so impossible that they just loved each other? Harry knew that that wasn't what either Hermione or Ron had asked, but it was what they'd meant.

"Is this something you'd want to keep a secret, or...?" Hermione asked and Harry had to look back at Snape.

Snape was sitting up, leaning against the ornate headboard. He looked at Harry and Harry thought about what the newspapers would say when they heard he was getting married. Getting married to Snape. Would they stop writing about if Snape had tricked him in to their relationship or would the wedding news heat up the discussion even more? Would Snape get even more threatening letters?

"Yeah. It would be best to not say anything. You're the only people who know", Harry added. They understood by the comment that they shouldn't go around mentioning it to Sirius or... Well, mostly Sirius. That aching and throbbing feeling that appeared when he thought about Sirius and Snape appeared again and his smile wavered. But just for a second.
