Severus led Harry to their bedroom that evening. He could sense his mate's fear and hesitancy of even being in the bedroom with him. Harry knew Severus loved him and would not hurt him but even with the bond he still was aware of the memories. Severus knew he had to be slow with Harry and get him through this as it would help.
It didn't hurt that Harry had drunk quite a bit of wine during the dinner, as had Severus. Severus whispered. "Are you ready?"
Harry turned to look at him. "I'm scared."
Severus lowered his lips to Harry's for a long gentle kiss. "I'll be as gentle as you need. I promise you we'll take it slow."
Harry nodded and allowed his husband to gently lead him to the bed. Both were only in trousers and shirts as they had removed their robes some time before. As Harry felt his husband undoing his buttons and removing his shirt, his muscles tensed up.
Severus gently brushed Harry's lips with his own as he removed his own shirt. He whispered as he finished. "Shhh, relax. You're safe remember."
Harry's voice was shaking as he let out a small. "Yes."
Severus moved his hands to Harry's trousers and slowly unbuckled and moved them and his boxers down until Harry stood buff before him. His eyes traced the scars across his chest and arms. He was reminded of why Harry was acting like a spooked horse. He took off his own bottoms and gently lowered Harry onto the bed.
His lips gently went to Harry's earlobes, tugging on them. He remembered the first time they made love and how it had made Harry near purr. Harry let out a soft moan in response and Severus started to make his way down Harry's neck, nibbling at the soft flesh, his tongue dancing across the flesh.
His hand went to his husband's penis and suddenly Harry jerked away and almost straight up in bed. "No, no..." his voice sobbed.
Severus gently drew him back down on to the pillows. "Yes, sweet heart, yes. I promise I'll be gentle. Remember, remember what it's like to make love to someone. Remember."
Harry let himself be laid back but he was still fighting it until Severus again pressed his mouth warm against Harry's. Harry's hands went up and carded themselves into his hair and held Severus down against his lips. He stopped resisting the hand that was now gently working up and down along his penis.
Harry's back arched as Severus was starting to bring him to climax and Severus moved so his mouth took on the penis and he sucked it the last few moments before Harry reached an orgasm and filled with husband's mouth with seed.
Gently Severus flipped Harry on to his stomach whispering warm words of assurance to his husband. As he put some ointment on his penis and gently robbed it into the entrance of his husband's nice pink anus, he remembered the first time he had done this with Harry. He had been Harry's first everything.
Harry quaked as he had the first time they had sex, his body trembled under his husband like the virgin he had been. He gently lowered his head next to Harry's.
"Are you ready for this?" He asked as tenderly as he could.
Harry nodded his head reluctantly."Yes." in the faintest of whispers.
Severus gently as he could inched into his husband. He was no virgin any more but after the trauma he had suffered he was a bit tight again. He could feel Harry's body tensing with the pain of it. He ran his hand up and down his husband's spine, whispering warm words of encouragement and love.
As he finally made his way fully in and began to pump at a slow but steady pace, Harry's muscles were starting to relax, He kept with the gentle whispering though, reassuring his husband of his love with every pump, with every move.
By the time he had come to a climax Harry had another as well and it felt like a whole white light filled the room and surrounded them as Severus shot his seed into his husband. As he pulled out and collapsed next to his husband, he knew some how the bond must have worked.
It was no less evident then when Harry slowly raised his head to look at him. The sparkle he had not seen in his husband's eyes since before he had been captured had returned. Some part of that brash Gryffindor, who had once driven him mad in class, had returned. He knew his husband was coming back to him.
Harry gently reached out and drew his husband down into a kiss. "Thank you."
As Severus ran a hand through Harry's hair he asked. "For what?"
"For saving me. For bringing me back" Harry whispered.
Severus pulled the warm body against his and both the half veela in him and the half human were singing. For a veela to finally mate with their bonded was the truest sense of pleasure, and for human soul mates it was not much different.

Two days later the faint hint of light could be felt that told them that Harry was pregnant. In Veela's the sense of life could be detected within 48hours of conception. Severus had not had much doubt after their wedding night that Harry would be pregnant but this confirmed it.
He watched Harry as he got the news and hugged Remus and was joking with Rodger. Two days and that insufferable Gryffindorness was slowly coming back. The child he told himself, tried to comfort himself with, would be his as well. His son or daughter would be a Slytherin, or at the very least a Gryffindor. He loved his husband but living with one Gryffindor was more then enough for him.
