Chapter 10
After the shock at breakfast, Harry had jumped in the shower and fixed his not so small problem. Now he felt ready for the day and once he dressed into his grey jeans and tight black t-shirt with bare feet he headed down to the library and continued on his potions homework. He currently had books and bits of parchment covering the floor around him in a semi-circle. He didn't know where Draco had disappeared to but he wasn't really in the mood for being around his friend currently. He was so absorbed in his work that he didn't notice Snape walk into the library and go straight to the bookshelf. As it was the holidays he decided to for-go the bulky robes he usually wore at school and settled for some baggy grey gym pants that sat low on his hips and a loose white t-shirt. He was browsing the titles and looked over his shoulder. Did he even know I'm standing here? Harry was sitting on his knees, bent over scribbling notes down on some parchment and looking at a book simultaneously. "You know, Harry. Most people use a table for that kind of thing", he stated nonchalantly.
Harry looked up, and stared wide-eyed. Holy shit. What's he wearing? Is this the same man?. He recovered quickly and said "yeah, well I find it easier to organize my thoughts like this". He swallowed and looked back down to his notes to stop the blush from creeping onto his face. Snape picked a book and turned round to sit in a comfy chair situated behind Harry. He smacked the boy on the back of the head with the book he was holding that earned him a yelp from the teen. "Ow, what was that for?"
"Do not be rude, Potter". But as he said it he was smirking and it wasn't a harsh warning. Harry turned his head to watch Snape sit down who looked at him. "Potions, is it not?"
"Yeah, thought I would get it out of the way. It's actually kind of fascinating. I can see that you are going to lose a lot of cauldrons with those who don't read up on these ingredients".
Snape raised an eyebrow in appreciation. "I am amazed at your studiousness, Harry. However, you fail to realize that relevance of the assignment. Fail the assignment and you will not be brewing. Simple".
Makes sense, he thought. "Huh, smart".
"I'm not just a pretty face, Potter. I do have a brain, and I use it frequently", he mused sarcastically. Harry laughed. Oh, such a beautiful sound. He turned back to his book but Harry's be-hind was facing him, and whether Harry was aware of it or not he was swaying it in sync with his note writing. So tempting. His cock twitched. Shit. I need to get out. He stood and as he walked past Harry smacked him on the back of the head again.
"Whhhy, do you keep doing that?", Harry said exasperated.
He kept walking and said amusingly over his shoulder, "I will not tease Professor Snape". Harry gaped at Snape's retreating body. Snape opened the French door and strolled outside in search of a quiet and non-distracting spot to read. Harry kept looking at the spot where Snape had disappeared. Obviously, Snape was effected by Harry as much as he was effected by Snape. He sat straight up and grinned mischievously. This is going to be great.
Meanwhile Draco was in his bedroom. Haha, this morning was GREAT. He was over the moon at the events that had unfolded at breakfast. Now however, he was planning what presents he should get for his family and Harry this year. He was planning on hitting Diagon Alley tomorrow for his Christmas shopping. He wasn't sure if Harry would want to come with him. He was fuming when he left the breakfast table. He supposed he should make it right with his friend so he went in search of Harry. He found him in the library with books and paper surrounding him on the floor. "Honestly, Harry. When mother said make yourself at home, you didn't have to take it literally", he joked.
Harry was getting really sick of people judging his study methods. He looked up at Draco and shot him daggers. "Sorry, I'll take it to my room then".
"Woah, kitty cat. No need to bite my head off. I actually came down here to apologise for this morning".
Harry frowned slightly and cocked his head at Draco. "Ok". He smiled.
"Ok? Just, ok? Are you not going to fire a curse at me?"
"Meh, no point. I'm not really angry anymore, worked in my favour anyway".
"Huh, suit yourself then." He sat next in front of Harry on the floor and looked at his work. "You nearly done?"
"Nah, just note taking at the moment. Snape came in before and said 'if you fail the assignment you won't be brewing'". He repeated Snape's words trying to imitate the man and Draco raised an eyebrow.
"Was that the best you could do?"
"Haha, yeah".
"Anyway. I was thinking of heading to Diagon Ally tomorrow for some shopping. You want to tag along?"
"Yeah sure, I need to grab some things so that's perfect".
"Awesome. Want to hit the pool?"
Harry thought about this and looked at the time. It was now 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Oops, missed lunch. "Might grab something to eat and then join you".
"Ok, ill see you out there. It's so warm outside and the sun feels amazing".
"Alright, see you soon".
Harry tidied his papers and stacked the books, putting them on one of the desks in the library and bolted up the stairs. He called Essy and got her to make him some Ham Sandwiches. She popped back within two minutes with his food and disappeared. He scoffed them down and stood at his wardrobe deciding on the trunks he wanted to wear. Why am I doing this? He thought as he stared at his wardrobe. It was only Draco and Snape that would be seeing him. That's the problem. Snape. He chose a pair of blood red shorts that stopped at the knee and grabbed his towel.
Draco was on the diving board about to dive in when Harry came around the corner. He saw Harry and knew that Snape was very close by, the man was reading some godforsaken book just beyond the hedge separating them. He wolf whistled at him, "Damn, Potter. Looking fine. Mmm, look at those washboard abs", He winked. Harry pulled the fingers and dumped his towel on the paved tiles by Draco's.
Snape smiled to himself. Draco must have known he was there otherwise he wouldn't have made such a show. Unless Draco had a thing for the boy which was why he was staying the holidays. He couldn't help himself. He tried peering through the hedge but he couldn't see them. He decided to give them 20 minutes and then walk by so it didn't look suspicious. Since when do I stalk people? Hmm, maybe because it was the fact Harry was there. He realized, some time later the splashing had stopped and the boys had stopped talking and giggling so he decided he would head inside to see what trouble they were causing. However, when he turned the corner the only person he saw was Harry lying on his back soaking up the sunshine. He was lying on his towel with his red trunks sitting very low on his hips, and had his hands behind his head. Harry really did have a nice body and he just itched to touch it. He approached the boy and he shifted his head to look at who was coming. "Hey", he said casually, sitting up. As he did so his abs rippled and his biceps stretched. Snape wanted to moan, never had he felt this way before, and again he felt himself twitch.
"You will get burnt lying there, hopefully your thick skull enabled you to apply sunblock".
Harry looked guiltily at him.
"I take that as a no. Roll over".
"Huh?"
"Roll. Over. I'll put some lotion on your back".
"Oh, right. Ok. Only if you want"
"Believe me, Harry. The last thing I want to hear is you moaning about how sore you are". He had a point. Harry rolled over, crossed his arms and laid his head on them. Snape suddenly realized what he had offered, but he couldn't change his mind now so he put down his book and knelt down beside him. He summoned a bottle of lotion and squeezed some onto his hands. He took a deep breath and placed his hands on Harry's shoulder blades and felt the boy shiver beneath them. He started to make massaging movements in his shoulders and worked his way down his spine stopping short of the band of Harry's trunks. He felt the boy grind his hips when he got to this point and he smirked. Although, Harry wasn't the only one having issues and Snape twitched again. As he made his way back up to his shoulders he could have sworn he heard the boy moan slightly. He did the top of his shoulders then slapped him a couple of times on his back to signify he was done. "Roll over, if you want me to do the front".
Without moving his head he said at the ground, "Uh-er, no thanks. I think I can manage that".
Probably a good thing too because Harry would have seen Snape's not so small problem. "Alright, I'll leave it here and you can burn to a crisp", he said amusingly and Harry turned his head at this and he noticed his face was red. However, he couldn't decide whether that was because he was hot or he was blushing. He decided the latter. "See you inside, Harry", and he got up and left.
Once Harry was certain Snape had left he moved into a sitting positive and his cock was raging, it was so hard. Goddamn that was the best feeling. When Snape had started massaging his shoulders, it felt like heaven. He had never felt something so good in his life. Imagine what those hands could do elsewhere, he thought and he grew harder. The water was cold so he decided that was the best thing for his aching member. He stood and took a couple of steps back, giving him a running start he dived into the cool water.
Snape had made his way back inside with his book purposefully placed over his crotch, trying no to look obvious. "Hey Severus, enjoy the view?", Draco teased.
"The view of the beach is always spectacular from this house", he tried to dodge the real question by answering like that and kept walking.
"Uh-huh", he was obviously not going to get anything out of the man. He would have to get it out of Harry.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Harry jumped out of the pool and toweled himself off, problem now gone. He made his way back to the house. The sun was on its way down and the temperature had cooled off considerably. Harry had been thinking when he had jumped back in the pool about what to get everyone for Christmas. He knew what to get Draco and he had a fair idea of what to get Narcissa, but Snape had stumped him. In the wizarding world, it was perfectly normal to receive jewelry as gifts but didn't know whether that was the man's cup of tea. He could ask Draco, but being the Slytherin he was would ask for something in return and Harry wasn't sure he wanted to enlighten the boy about his history with Snape just yet. Christmas was only a few days away so he had to get thinking. He sighed and resigned the fact that Draco was the best person to ask. He made it inside and bumped into Narcisas, "Oh, hello dear", she smiled happily at him and she kept walking. See, didn't have a heart attack, thought Harry amusingly who was dressed only in shorts and a towel around his neck.
He got to his room and shut the door, stripped down and put his emerald boxers, grey jeans and tight black t-shirt on. He realized he had to reply to Hermione's letter otherwise she was going to be really upset. He thought about asking her what to get Snape but couldn't guarantee she would reply in time. He grabbed a piece of parchment and started scribbling:
Hey Hermione,
That sounds amazing about Egypt, I'm jealous I'm not there too. The Manor has a really warm microclimate and the water at the beach is crazy warm. The Manor is everything I expected it to be, larger in every aspect. Mrs. Malfoy is super lovely, although I haven't seen her much as she's been busy organizing this Christmas ball thing that the Malfoy's always put on for Christmas.
You'll never guess who else is staying here for the holidays as well. Snape. I came down to breakfast and he was sitting at the table. I nearly died Hermione. He obviously didn't know I was staying either, super awkward. Anyway, now that he's here for the holidays, I can get to know him (if you know what I mean).
Anyway, need to stop rambling. Hope you have a great time at the Pyramids and Sphinx.
Love you
Harry
He sealed the letter and went to find Mystic who was in the kitchen nibbling on some kibble. He put out his arm and she flew over, walked outside and told her to find Hermione in Egypt. She hooted happily and flew off into the sunset. Harry walked into one of the other living areas off the kitchen to find Draco sprawled out on the couch. "Im, sooooo bored", he drawled to Harry.
"Well, what do you normally do here?"
"Make out with Blaise", he looked over to Harry.
"Oh, haha, NO. Don't even think about it". He said sarcastically.
"You wound me, Harry. Do you not find me attractive?"
"I'm more of a tall, dark and handsome type of guy"
"Ohh, I bet you are Harry. So," he began, "What's with you and Snape? I see he can't take his eyes off you." He winked and Harry flushed. Damn, he did notice.
"Oh, you know. Not a lot". He wanted this conversation to end but didn't feel like he was going to be this lucky.
"Don't give me that. I know my godfather and I have never seen him this, this weird. And your actions have been just as suspicious" he stated plainly.
"Well…" he went back and check the nearby rooms and corridors, went back into the room and sat next to Draco who had sat up by this stage. "Yeah, ok I like him. There I said it".
"I already know that, Harry. You hinted towards it the other day. Tell me what happened in that detention that had you so sore the next morning".
He swallowed hard. He remembered that he was going to ask Draco about what to get Snape for Christmas so decided to play the Slytherin game.
"I will tell you, if you help me out", he offered.
"Alright, what do you want?"
"Tell me what to get Snape for Christmas, I don't know what the man would want and you know him better than I do".
He mulled this over and then nodded. "Alright, deal. Now spill. Actually lets go to my room. Too many ears in this place", he smirked. He was going to enjoy this.
After they missioned it to Draco's room and he relayed what had happened in the detention and what had happened this morning and before by the pool, Draco was shocked and gaping at Harry. He knew his godfather had some domineering tendencies but never thought he would act it upon a student. "Wow", was all he could say. "He's into you, and hard".
"You reckon?"
"Oh don't be dense, Potter. Of course he does. Alright, I'll think about what you can get Severus for Christmas, just give me the night to think about it and I'll help you tomorrow when we head to Diagon Ally.
Harry frowned slightly at Draco who cocked his head at Harry. "You're not mad or disgusted about this?"
"What? Why would I be? Sounds like the two of you are having fun, and after everything Severus has been through the last 18 years he deserves to have some happiness, don't you think?"
Harry nodded and agreed. His stomach growled and he patted it carefully, "time to eat", he smiled and Draco laughed.
"Alright, pet. Let's find you some food before you eat someone". He patted Harry on the shoulder and they walked to the dining room for dinner.
"Thanks, Draco. For being supportive, you know and not getting grossed out or anything".
"Don't get soppy with me, Potter. I don't do soppy… And neither does he", he said motioning with his head at Snape when they walked into the dining room.
Snape looked up at the two and said, "Who doesn't?".
Harry looked the other way and found his was to his seat leaving Draco to say, "Just some guy we know", and shrugged and sat down. Narcissa engaged him in conversation leaving Snape and Harry sitting there quiety.
"Enjoy the rest of your burning session, Harry?", he enquired.
"Crispy, thank you", replied Harry and Snape snorted. "But, you'll be pleased to know I didn't get burnt so you won't have to deal with me moaning", he rolled his eyes when he said this and it made Snape chuckle.
He leaned in to Harry and whispered, "no, I want you moaning it other ways", he smirked.
Harry spat out his mashed potato and Draco and Narcissa looked at them expectantly. Snape patted Harry on the back and just shook his head at the other two. "Boys", he shrugged and said as if in wonder. Draco narrowed his eyes at Snape and didn't believe him for a second. Harry composed himself and quietly ate the rest of his dinner as Snape and Narcissa struck up conversation around the Christmas ball she was organizing.
Dinner was finished and Snape and Narcissa retired to one of the living rooms leaving Draco and Harry to head upstairs. "So, what did Snape say to you that made you lose you dinner, which, by the way was very graceful", he said sarcastically.
"Said he wanted me moaning in other ways", he said deadpanned and Draco choked. "Exactly what I did", Harry laughed at Draco's choking.
"Ok, now that was too much information, Potter. Leave me out of your little game from now. I don't really fancy the image of my godfather ruined at your doing".
Harry threw his arms up in defense, "Hey, you asked tosser".
"Yeah, well I won't next time". They stopped outside Harry's room. "Night, Harry. See you tomorrow. I dare you to come downstairs like you did this morning. It's fun seeing him awkward. It's not something that happens to him very often".
"Uh-er, alright? I guess I can do that". He wasn't so sure, but anything to get the man he'd do. He smiled evilly, his mind made up. He looked to Draco, "Deal". They both smiled and parted ways. Harry made sure that he did something about the blue balls he was currently experiencing and drifted off into a restful sleep. He was going to need all the strength he had to deal with shopping tomorrow, the fact that it was with the 'All-mighty', Draco Malfoy confirmed this.
