11. Fainting Spells

Harry was back at Hogwarts and was glad. He loved Ron and the Weasley and Remus dearly but he missed Hogwarts, Hermione and especially Severus. If you had asked him this time a year ago just before he realised he was attracted to Severus Snape of all people would he ever miss Snape Harry would say you were mad. But now Harry did miss Severus. Harry was going to meet Severus up tonight but first was speaking to Hermione whilst Ron was giving Lavender a very heated reunion kiss.

'Hey Harry,' smiled Hermione.

'How was Christmas?' asked Harry.

'Oh good Grandfather is doing a lot better,' Hermione smiled.

'I'm glad,' Harry said.

'Me too,' Hermione said. 'How was Christmas at Won-Won's?' asked Hermione.

'Ginny won't look at me,' Harry said.

'You came out,' Hermione said.

Harry nodded, 'Ron thought that you and I had…'Harry trailed off.

'You mean the school thought?' Hermione asked.

'I know blaugh,' Harry grimaced. 'I mean no offence or anything you like a sister to me. The older sister helps me with my homework.'

'Doesn't lover boy help you with your homework?' asked Hermione.

Harry shook his head, 'I think he prefers to pretend I'm not his student. He feels quite guilty for us.'

'Well no wonder,' Hermione said in a hushed voice. 'What were you thinking when you seduced him.'

'It wasn't exactly purposeful,' Harry said. 'I was doing detention and got close to him and then we were kissing.'

'Only you,' Hermione rolled her eyes.

'Your taking it rather well all things considered,' Harry said.

Hermione shrugged, 'I've never seen you this happy.'

'I've never been this happy,' Harry admitted.

'Being in love suits you,' Hermione told him.

Harry grinned at this then, 'oh if anyone asks I was drunk that night,' Harry told her.

'Why?' asked Hermione.

'I told them I couldn't remember who I kissed because I was drunk until you sobered me up with the story that you had been groped,' Harry said.

Hermione nodded, 'wouldn't want anyone finding out the truth now.'

'If Remus did find out who do you think would survive?' asked Harry mock seriously.

'Well let's see Remus is a werewolf so has that going for him,' Hermione said.

'Stronger than ordinary human,' Harry said.

'Quicker too,' Hermione added. 'And will want to be protecting his Cub from the big bad Death Eater.'

Harry snickered, 'it's been a while since I saw him like that.'

'Well you wouldn't, would you,' Hermione pointed out. 'Then Snape's an ex-Death Eater and can be bloody cruel and is in love with you.'

'Good match,' Harry said.

'What are you two talking about?' asked Neville coming over to sit beside them.

'Who would win in a fight between Remus and Snape,' Hermione said.

'You two are very odd you know,' Neville said.

'Yep,' grinned Harry and Hermione.

'Well I don't care what the others think but I think your good for each other,' Neville said.

Hermione and Harry made a face at this comment.

'Nah Hermione's in love with Ron,' Harry said.

Hermione scowled at her friend, 'and Harry's gay.'

'Really?' asked Neville surprised. 'You don't seem the type.'

'And what type would that be exactly?' Harry asked coolly.

'Oh sorry I didn't mean that,' Neville said guiltily. 'It's just with the fan girls…'

'I hate fan girls,' muttered Harry scowling. 'Well I'm going to bed.'

'Alone?' giggled Hermione.

'Hermione,' Harry said.

Severus was waiting for Harry to come in when at around one the young man slipped in through the door. He pulled off Potter's invisibility cloak. The boy looked good – well Severus thought he always looked good – but it seemed that the holidays had done him some good. Harry's hair was messy as always but he seemed to be growing it out a bit so it didn't look as much of a bird's nest as usual. Harry had obviously acquired contacts and better fitting clothes for Christmas if his tight black jeans and a leather jacket. Severus liked how he looked careless handsome and was glad he didn't have to deal with the guilt that Harry wearing his school uniform would always stir within him.

'Sorry I had to wait for the others to go to sleep,' Harry said. 'First night back at school.'

'Indeed,' Severus said. 'I have to say you look very handsome.'

Harry blushed looking even more handsome, 'yeah the twins decided to give me a make over.'

Severus raised and eyebrow at this.

'They're trying to pair me up with Lee,' Harry admitted.

'I was under the impression he was straight,' Severus said.

'Apparently not,' Harry replied.

'Well lets remind you of why you are off the market,' Severus said seductively.

'Lets,' agreed Harry.

The two of them wrapped their arms around each other. Severus was glad to have the young thing back in his arms. He would never let anything happen to Harry even if it meant that he would let the Dark Lord win. He didn't want the Dark Lord to win which was why he was searching desperately for another way for Harry to no longer be a Horcrux. He ran his hands under the rim of Harry's new trousers feeling his firm buttocks and hearing Harry moan into his mouth. Severus pushed Harry onto the white rug.

Every other time together they had made it to the bed but not tonight. Tonight they were going to get hot and sweaty on the floor. Severus had peeled the boy out of his revealing trousers and jacket. He tore off the shirt as his robes fell away. Harry had his legs wrapped around Severus waist. Severus pulled off the boxers and the white vest that Harry wore as Harry did the same to his boxers. The two of them were now naked and rubbing up against each other. Severus could feel his erection growing and was desperate to be in the boy.

'Need you in me, now,' slurred out the boy wantonly.

'Preparation,' murmured Severus.

'Now,' Harry ordered.

Severus could never resist Harry Potter or any of his commands. After a second of pain for Harry when he first entered the boy's tight entrance the two of them were soon fucking as per usual. Harry had somehow ended up on top of him and was riding him. The groans the boy was emitting were sinful. Severus felt himself release at the same time as Harry did. Harry collapsed on top of him lying against his chest spent. Severus smiled at Harry not for the first time glad that he had Harry here with him.

'Bed,' mumbled Harry.

Severus nodded after cleaning the evidence of their evening up and retrieving their clothes he picked up the boy. Harry was always almost comatose after sex. Severus just found it endearing. He lay Harry in the bed where he could see Harry was already asleep. Severus pulled the covers up over the two of them and fell asleep beside Harry. Severus loved the young man so much. He took Harry in his arms and the two of them were soon curled up together fast asleep. They would remain that way until morning.

Harry woke up and returned to his bed without anyone but Hermione any the wiser that he had been out of it. Hermione and he didn't talk about the more in depth details mainly because Harry would go red and Hermione would get all giggly. The first lesson Harry had was Potions were he was once again partnering Ron where they were supposed to be making Dreamless Sleep Potion currently it was supposed to be blood red and bubbling smelling of grass. But instead it was still despite being on full flames and bright blue smelling faintly of wet dog.

Usually the Prince's words and spending altogether too much time in Severus Snape's company – well that was what Harry had thought last year – would get Harry and Ron by. But today with Harry feeling so ill and sweaty he just couldn't concentrate the potion's making was left down to Ron. And everyone knew that Ron Weasley was rubbish at Potions. Slughorn was approaching his brain told him but he couldn't properly focus on that with the smell of the potions making him want to throw up.

'My, my, Harry what happened to your Potions?' Slughorn said not unkindly.

'I don't feel well,' Harry slurred.

Slughorn looked at him but Harry couldn't properly see him. Harry wondered vaguely if his new contacts had slipped out somehow. But then what was causing the pounding in his head. What was causing every rustle of clothes and bubble of cauldron to hammer against his head? Why was the room swimming as though he was on a Portkey. Harry felt himself sway and was getting very frightened of what was going on in the Potions classroom. Just as the world went black for Harry he heard shouting.

'HARRY!' said Hermione's voice, shrill and much louder than normal.

Then Harry heard no more.

There's the fainting done. I'm sure you can all guess why. I hope none of you have problem with Mpreg. Nobody's said they have. But please review.
