1 week later

"Hermione, can I ask you something?" asked Harry. Hermione was sitting in Gryffondor's common room and reading a book about Charms.

"What is it, Harry?" replied Hermione and looked at Harry. Hermione noticed that Harry finally stopped being depressed. She was very happy that Harry finally started smiling again, and that could mean only one thing. Harry still hasn't told that he and Snape were together, but Hermione already knew that. That could be the only reason for Harry's good mood.

"Well, Christmas is going to be soon" started Harry, but then stopped himself. He wanted to buy a present for Snape, but he was too embaressed to ask Hermione for a help.

"Yes, I am aware of that Harry" said Hermione and smiled. When she saw how embaressed Harry was, she knew what he was trying to ask her.

"R-Right... so because it's going to be Christmas soon, I would like to buy someone a present, but I don't know what to buy, so I thought that you could maybe help me" quickly said Harry and hoped that Hermione didn't figure out for who he was going to buy a present.

Hermione's smile got wider. "Why do you need my help?" asked Hermione, who was pretending not to know anything.

"Well... you had someone you liked, you know Victor Krum, so I thought that..."

"Oh, so you're buying this present for Snape" said Hermione quietly and started laughing when she saw how red Harry's face was.

"How do you know?!" asked Harry.

"Well, it's obvious, because you are happier" said Hermione with a smile on her face.

Harry sighed. Was he really that easy to figure out? He was a bit embaressed that Hermione figured out. On the onther hand, he was happy, because he didn't want to lie to Hermione and he was happy that she didn't judge him. He was happy when he saw that his best friend was smiling.

"So you really don't mind this?" asked Harry.

"I mean it is a bit weird that you like Snape, because you never liked each other. And what is even weirder is that he likes you back. But as long as you are happy I don't mind that you are dating Snape."

Harry smiled and his heart felt lighter. "Thank you" said Harry and hugged Hermione.

"S-So will you help me with the present?"

"Of course" said Hermione and smiled.

"Thanks" said Harry and sat down next to Hermione.

"So, Harry... how does it feel to be in relationship with Snape?" asked Hermione.

Harry's face became really red. "Well... you know. He makes me happy"

Hermione was happy to hear that. She really wanted Harry to be happy, because she knew that Harry was through a lot in his life and he finally deserved some happiness. However, she still couldn't picture Harry and Snape together.

"How far have the two of you gone?" asked Hermione and plaifully smiled.

"What do you mean?" asked Harry, puzzled.

Hermione didn't say anything, but her smile grew wider and wider, and Harry finally understood what Hermione had in mind. Harry couldn't believe what Hermione was asking him. He could feel his body getting really hot.

"Hermione!" said Harry and tried to hide his embaressment.

Hermione started laughing. "Well, I'm just curious, that's all"

"W-Well, we hugged a couple of times, but that's all"

"You haven't kissed yet?" Hermione sounded surprised.

"No!" Harry said a bit louder, because he didn't want to talk about that with his best friend. It just didn't feel right to discuss this things with Hermione. Harry didn't know why, maybe because she was a girl.

When Hermione saw Harry's reaction, she started laughing even louder.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The next day Gryffondor had double period of Potions with Slytherin. Normally, Harry would constanly tried to make eye contact with Snape, but this time he completely ignored Snape, because he was too busy discusing about the present he was going to buy with Hermione.

At first it didn't bother Snape, but after 30 minutes of trying to make eye contact with Harry, Snape was completely confused. He didn't know why the boy wouldn't look at him. Did he do something wrong?! Snape started thinking about that, but he couldn't remember what could he do wrong. And what was bothering Snape even more was the fact that Harry was constantly chatting with Mrs. Granger. Snape knew that he was starting to feel jealous.

Snape noticed how Harry started spending more and more time with Hermione the last week and it was starting to bother him. They haven't been together for a whole week and Snape was starting to question himself that he has done something wrong. Everytime when Snape asked Harry to spend some time with him, Harry refused. He always made an excuse and Snape knew that the boy was lying to him again. So, because of that Snape thought that Harry's feelings have changed. Maybe he was too pushy the last time they were together?

"Potter, Granger, stop talking. We are in the middle of the lesson! Five points from Gryffondor" said Snape with cold voice when he had enough.

Harry quickly lifted up his head and looked his professor. Harry could see that his professor was really angry. Harry tried to figure out what could make his professor that angry. Harry sent his professor a questioning look, but Snape quickly looked away. From that moment on, Snape was the one who was ignoring Harry.

When the lessons ended, Snape said: "Potter, wait here"

Harry was really surprised. He didn't know what to say. Hermione stepped closer to Harry.

"What was this all about?" asked Hermione, who was also surprised.

"I have no idea" quietly anwsered Harry.

When Snape saw that Hermione was still chatting with Harry, he immediately got closer to both of them and said: "Mrs. Granger, are you Mr Potter too?"

"N-No, sir" said Hermione and looked at the floor.

"I thought so too. So, may I ask you what are you still doing here?" asked Snape with cold voice.

"I'm sorry, I will go" quickly said Hermione and left the classroom.

When Hermione left the classroom, Harry didn't know what to do. He was happy that he was finally alone with Snape, because it had been a really long time since they've been together. On the other hand, he was really confused by the way that Snape was acting. Harry knew that his professor was angry, but Harry didn't know why.

"What is wrong, professor?" asked Harry.

"Nothing, Potter" anwsered Snape, but he was not looking at Harry. Snape couldn't bring himself to look at Harry, because he knew that he would do something stupid. The jealousy made him do stupid things. Snape knew that it was stupid that he was feeling jealous over a 15 years old girl, but he has lost so much in the past. And he couldn't lose Harry.

Harry's eyes were wide opened. Snape called him Potter. What was going on? Did Snape hate him again? Did he do something to make Snape hate him again? Harry was so confused and he really wanted to know what was going on.

"P-Professor?" asked Harry and touched Snape's hand.

Snape finally turned around and Harry's heart started beating faster.

"Are you avoiding me again?" asked Snape.

"Of course not" quickly responded Harry.

"Then why... why do you spend more time with Mrs. Granger than you do with me?" asked Snape. He knew that it sounded really stupid, but he needed to know.

Harry couldn't believe that Snape was jealous again. Harry smiled, because he thought it was kind of cute to see that Snape really cared so much about him.

"I had a fight with Ron, remember? So we are still not speaking and Hermione is not speaking with him, so we spend more time together. That's all"

"I know that, Mr. Potter. But you also started making excuses every time I want to spend some time with you. What's wrong?"

"N-Nothing" replied Harry and quickly looked at the floor. Harry really did start to avoid Snape, but not because he liked Hermione or anything like this. He was just too embaressed that he might do something stupid. He would always get so shy around Snape and he would always say such embaressing words.

Harry really liked the last he spend time with Snape. However, he was afraid of screwing up things. Snape was so much experienced when it came to this area and Harry knew that Snape would soon want to do more with Harry than just hugging and Harry was afraid of that. He really wanted to go further with Snape, but he just didn't know how to tell him that.

"Really?" asked Snape and stepped closer to Harry.

"Y-Yes" replied Harry.

Snap stepped even closer and Harry was able to feel Snape's hot breath on his right cheek. Harry's breathing became fast as he was trying to get more air into his lungs. Harry felt how Snape put his left arm onto his cheek and started caressing it. Harry closed his eyes and let out a loud sigh. It felt really good when he was so close to Snape. On the other hand, he was very embaressed.

"Harry, look at me" whispered Snape with warm voice.

Harry shook his head. "Why?"

"Because I want you to look at me. I want that you only think of me when we are together. So please, open your eyes"

Harry finally opened his eyes and looked at Snape. Snape smiled and ran his fingers through Harry's hair. Harry blushed and as he wanted to hid his face into his palms, Snape grabbed his hands.

"You are being mean" said Harry.

"I know" said Snape and chuckled. "And I will countinue on being mean until you tell me what's really going on."

Harry took a deep breath as he tried to calm his heart down.

"I-I am afraid" whispered Harry.

"Of what?" asked Snape, puzzled.

"You know... when we are alone..." said Harry and blushed furiously.

"Harry, how many times do I have to tell you... I won't do anything that you wouldn't like. I promise" said Snape and kissed Harry's forehead.

Harry's body froze and he became dizzy. He couldn't understand how could only a kiss on forehead make him feel this way.

"I-It's not just that... I am afraid that I will screw something up. You are more experienced that I am"

"That doesn't mean anything, Harry."

"It does to me" anwsered Harry.

Snape smiled. It was nice to see that Harry cared that much, but on the other hand he didn't want the boy to worry about so meaningless things.

"I said that we'll take things slowly, didn't I?" said Snape.

Harry slowly nodded. Now he was starting to get embaressed even more. He couldn't believe that he said all those things to Snape. It seemed so cheesy to Harry saying all those things. However, he knew that when he was saying all those things that he made Snape happy. And Snape happiness was all that mattered to Harry at that moment.

"So, Harry. Christmas is going to be a day after tomorrow. Do you have any special things to do on Christmas eve?" asked Snape.

That took Harry off guard. What did Snape have in mind?

"No" said Harry and looked at Snape.

Snape smiled. Harry could feel that his heart started beating fast again and his body started shaking a bit. Harry knew what will Snape'snext question will be. Harry knew that Snape would ask him to spend the Christmas eve with him.

"Do you want to spend it with me?"

Harry didn't know how to react. Of course he was happy when Snape asked him that. But what did Snape have in mind? Will they go somewhere?! On a date? Harry took a deep breath before anwsering.

"Y-Yes, I would love to be with you on a Christmas eve. Will we go somewhere special?" asked Harry.

"Well, if you want to, we can go somewhere. But I had something a bit different in mind. I thought that I would cook us a dinner and well... We can spend the time here, on Hogswarts" said Snape and Harry noticed that his professor was nervous a bit.

Snape would cook a dinner? Harry was speachles. He didn't know that Snape could cook and even just imagining Snape cooking it seemed so unrealistic to Harry.

"It sounds great" said Harry, who tried not to sound too excited.

When Snape saw how happy Harry was, he smiled. Snape was happy that Harry said yes. Snape has always spent the Christmas alone since he and Lily had that big fight. Since then he was always lonely and had nobody to spend the time with him. But now, after all these years there was someone who was ready to spend the Christmas with him.

Snape wrapped his arms around Harry's thin waist. Then Snape kissed Harry's neck and whispered into Harry's left ear: "Thank you, Harry. You don't know how happy you just made me"

Harry let out a loud sigh, when Snape kissed his neck. Harry closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment. Snape chuckled at Harry's reaction. He was happy that he didn't scare the boy as he kissed Harry's neck.

After a few seconds, Snape pulled away. Harry was surprised as the heat of Snape's body suddenly disappeared. Harry had to admit to himself that he was somehow dissapointed as Snape pulled away.

"Harry, do you like flowers?" asked Snape.

Harry was surprised when Snape asked him that. Why was Snape asking him that?

"Yes, I like them" anwsered Harry.

"Which are your favourite ones?"

"Roses" slowly said Harry.

Snape smiled and then he kissed Harry's cheek. Harry's lungs failed working and his heart started beating like crazy. Harry wanted to ask his professor why he needed that information, but he decided not to ask any questions. Harry closed his eyes, as Snape pulled him into a tight hug.
