Warning: boy/boy (Harry/Severus) Do Not Read If This Offends You.

Summary: Harry needs someone to teach them defenses, so he asks the one person that is capable to do so.


"We need some help with the defenses, Harry! If we don't, we will be vulnerable to Voldemort," Hermione said.

"What are you suggesting Hermione?" Ron asked as Harry didn't look or answered her.

"We need someone to teach us all the basics if we are to defend ourselves. Umbridge isn't doing anything! You must help us Harry," Hermione pleaded.

"What? All the times that I defeated him were such luck! It was nothing special at all," Harry said unhappily.

"Harry, we aren't going to pass our O.W.L.S. if we don't do anything! What do you suggest we do? Just do nothing and let Umbridge take over?" Hermione asked angrily.

"If you don't know the basics, why don't you bring your boyfriend with you? I'm sure he'll be glad to help," Ron said sarcastically.

Harry glared at him but Hermione perked up, "You know, that's not such a bad idea," she said cheerfully.

"W-What? I was just joking!" Ron said quickly.

"Harry, please! Just ask him or even think about it?" Hermione asked.

Harry sighed, "Yea, sure," he said and Hermione smiled in victory.


"Absolutely not, Harry! I will not be teaching students who wants to get them killed!" The voice said angrily.

"Please? You don't want any of the students killed if you-know-who comes along, do you?" Harry pleaded, as he didn't want Hermione or Ron pestering him about his boyfriend coming along to the meetings.

"Harry, having a secret society will be dangerous. Umbridge might seek you out. You are her main target," his lover said.

"I know the consequences. Everyone is willing to do anything they can to defeat you-know-who. The meetings are only twice a week anyway. Right after dinner," Harry added.

"Why can't you do it yourself?" His lover asked.

"I don't know any advance stuff," Harry said.

"That isn't true," his lover replied.

"Still, I need your help. Please?" Harry begged.

"You owe me Harry," his lover said.

Harry grinned, "I know," he replied and the two kissed passionately on the lips before Harry left for his dormitory.


"So Harry, whom are we waiting for?" Neville asked eagerly as everyone was waiting for Harry's mysterious person to arrive to the meeting.

"You'll see in a minute," Harry replied with a smile as he wondered off towards where Ron and Hermione were speaking quietly.

"His really coming, Harry?" Ron asked.

Harry nodded, "He agreed except now I have to do something in return," he said.

Hermione's eyes widened, "Hopefully nothing horrible!" She said.

Harry smirked as he leaned in towards them so that nobody around them could hear. "I agreed to be his sex slave for the whole entire year," he said quietly.

Ron gaped at him as Hermione blinked, "W-What?" She asked surprised.

Harry shrugged, "I know he'll be gentle with me, so it's…." He didn't finished as he saw that Ron was suddenly turning green.

"Harry, mate. I support you in this, but please, don't tell me anymore," he said and Harry chuckled at that.

Just then, they heard the walls opening as everyone turned to see who was coming in and Harry smiled in greeting. "Let's get this over with," the deep voice said unhappily as he walked over to where Harry and his friends were standing. "Potter, what is it that you want to learn?" He asked.

"Harry! Are you insane?" One of Cho's friends asked.

"We can't have him here, Harry! He favors Slytherin! He'll report us to Umbridge!" Michael Corner exclaimed.

"He is the only choice for us to have for survival throughout this whole fiasco! I don't know much of Defense Against the Dark Arts! He favors it! What I decide is my own decision! Or are you forgetting that I'm the teacher here?" Harry asked angrily.

The others looked at each other, "But it's Snape! His going to get caught too if Umbridge finds us!" Neville said as everyone looked at him.

"When did you start to care for Snape, Neville?" Cho asked surprised.

Neville blinked as he thought back what he said. "I-I don't know," he said as everyone sighed around him.

"Figures," George murmured to his twin brother, Fred.

"Well Professor, I was thinking that we all should learn Legilimency and Occlumency," Harry said as everyone's eyes widened.

"That sounds terrific, Harry," Luna said with a smile.

"Isn't that's hard?" Michael asked worriedly.

"At first. But you'll get it soon enough," Harry replied as he began pacing around the room. "Every teacher who taught here were students like us. They didn't know anything until they tried. If they can do it, why can't us?" Harry asked as he looked at Severus who was staring at him and everyone else looked at each other and smiled.

"How about a demonstration, Potter?" Severus asked.

Harry nodded, "Bring it," he said confident.


"Well, I guess that's it then. Just keep of practicing over the winter holidays," Harry said as Christmas was already approaching. Months had passed since their first meetings and the kids were getting used to Severus being there. After all, Umbridge hadn't even caught them yet for having the meeting.

Most of them groaned when they heard that the meeting was over. "Happy Christmas Harry!" Most of them said as everyone said good-bye to him and left the Room of Requirements except for Ron and Hermione as well as Severus who was staring at the photo of the old Order of the Phoenix on the mirror.

"Something the matter guys?" Harry asked worriedly before going to Severus.

"Ron just wanted to remind you that you are invited over at the Burrow over the Christmas holidays," Hermione said.

Ron nodded, "You are always welcome at my family, Harry," he said.

"Thanks Ron. What about you Hermione?" Harry asked.

"I'm visiting some family over at Italy. So, I won't be able to see you then," Hermione said as Harry nodded and the two said their good-byes as Harry strode over to where Severus was looking at the old photo.

"Bringing back some old memories?" Harry asked with a smile.

"Sort of. I was just remembering the times that I had with your father," Severus said quietly.

"You miss him, don't you?" Harry asked quietly.

"Not the times that he teased me, of course. But I do miss him and Lily," Severus said.

"Severus, I just want to thank you for taking up your time for being here. Many people had mastered Legilimency and Occlumency. Including Neville," Harry lied.

Severus snorted, "Don't lie to me, Harry. I know very well that Mr. Longbottom's capability of spells," he said.

Harry shrugged, "Well, at least he did very well on the Patronus," he said, as Severus didn't argued with that.

"Going to the Burrow over the holidays?" Severus asked.

Harry nodded, "I can stop by your place before or after coming to Hogwarts," he said.

Severus nodded, "I would like that," he said as there relationship was still a secret and nobody knows except for Dumbledore, Hermione and Ron.

Harry was about to leave when he saw mistletoe coming into view. "Severus, look up," he urged as Severus looked up and groaned.

"I really do hate mistletoes," he murmured.

Harry chuckled, "Well, this is the Room of Requirement. I guess it believed that we needed a mistletoe," he said.

Severus snorted, "I wonder why," he said sarcastically.

"Severus, we have to do the tradition," Harry pointed out and Severus didn't argue with that as the two kissed passionately and heatedly under the mistletoe as they knew that they will love each other no matter what happens to either of them.
