Potion Catastrophe
Chapter 12
It was not the end of the month, October 31st, Halloween night. A night that held promises of different things to different people of different ages.
For small children it was a night to dress up as anything or anyone them wanted to be. To be able to go door to door asking for candy and treats. It would be a night that was full of devils, zombies, ghost, vampires, princess, cats, dogs and a horde of other things.
There would also be parties, dances and balls this night. A chance for adults to dress up as well. To wear masks so that their friends and co-workers did not know it was them.
Then there were those that would use this night for dark reasons. To practice their dark arts.
Yes for most Halloween was a night of fun and pretend. Or a night to practices dark arts. But there was one that Halloween did not mean either of these things. For one it was night of sadness and mourning the loss of loved ones. This is how Harry felt every Halloween since eleven.
Before that it was normally a night he felt jealous over his cousin Dudley. He would be forced to watch from his room under the stairs while his fat cousin got to dress up anyway he wanted to and go out trick-or-treating. Something that Harry was never allowed to do.
Then when he learn it had been on Halloween night his parents were kill that jealous turned into sadness and grief.
So that is why on this night Harry was in his room alone while the rest of the castle was upstairs having a party. Harry didn't want to go.
Harry had even push Remus to the party. Yes Harry understood that Remus felt grief on this day as well. He did lost two of his three best friends that fateful night. Harry would never count Pettigrew as part of the Marauders.
But even with Remus grieving Harry wanted to be alone.
As Harry sat there was lightly rubbing his belly as he was slowly flipping throwing the album that Hagrid gave him at the end of his first year. There were not many pictures but what he did have he cherished.
He just got to the last page when there was a knock on the door. Wondering who it was Harry slowly made he way out of bed, out of his room and over to the door.
The only person he could think it might be was Remus but the man would not knock on the door. So when he opens the door he was surprised to see Severus standing there.
"Professor." Harry said as he stepped out of the way to let the older man in.
"Severus. If I'm to go by your given name then you should as well for me. But only in private." The dark haired man said as he walked into the room.
"Sure Severus." Harry said, loving the way he's name seem to roll off his tongue. "What can I do for you?" Harry asked as the two took their seats from where they sat before.
"I noticed you were not at the party that headmaster decided to throw this year for the school. May I ask why?" Severus asked.
"Getting right to the point I see." Harry said with a half-smile before he let out a sigh. "I'm sure you can figure out why I do not like Halloween Severus." Harry simply said.
"I saw the wolf there." Severus stated.
"I all but forced him to go. He wanted to stay with me but I wanted to be alone. I'm used to being alone on this day anyways." Harry said with a shrug.
"Your friends didn't force their way down here?" Severus then asked with a raised eyebrow.
"They understand so they let me be. Tomorrow Hermione will go into mother hen mood to make sure that everything is ok." Harry said with a small smile. It then dropped as confusion replaced it. "Why are you here?" He then asked.
"I am concern for your well-being." Severus stated.
The confusion stated on Harry face. That was not something he was used to hearing from his teacher and secret love.
"I am concern because your well-being affects the twins. If you are not doing well it can have negative effect on the twins." Severus said as he sat there in the chair.
Harry blinked at the statement. He was sure it was true. Severus had been concern for the twins. But that last part hurt Harry. Not only hurt him but crushed any hope he had.
Harry hoped that he could go beyond just being civil with each other. That one day Severus may love him like Harry loved him. He's dream that one day Draco would see him as anything but the enemy was just that. A dream.
But now he wasn't sure if either of his dreams would come true. So he tried to cover the hurt he had felt as fast as he could. He hoped that Severus hadn't seen it.
"We are doing fine." Harry said with a forced smile.
Hearing the sigh Harry knew Severus did not believe his answer or believe he's smile. With what the man asked next proved that.
"What's wrong?" Severus asked.
Harry bit he's lower lip. He wasn't sure if he should say anything or not. But decided to do as the old saying says. Actions speak louder than words.
Getting up Harry walked over to where Severus sat as he then lean down and kissed him. When Severus did not push him away Harry was shocked. Yes he felt the older man's hands on his shoulders but Harry wasn't pushed away. No instead he was pulled closer and even into Severus's lap. This did shock Harry but it was a happy shock.
Soon the kiss started to heat up. When Severus started to nibble on Harry's lower lip he couldn't help the moan that escaped. Nor did he try to stop Severus from slipping his tongue in when Harry open his mouth.
Harry moved his arms up and wrapped them around Severus's neck. Harry then felt Severus start to move his own hands. One found their way into Harry's hair where it took a tight hold of it as the other slowly moved down to his body and cupped his backside.
When Severus gave it a small squeeze Harry pulled away as he let out a moan. When he did Severus pulled Harry's hair back some as Severus started to kiss and bite Harry's neck. This caused the teen to let out a loud gasp as he's eyes had snapped open. But he then shut them as he couldn't help as another moan escaped him.
For Harry he had never felt what he's body was feeling before. Never felt so many pleasant feelings running through his body at once.
Harry felt his head being jerk back as Severus started to kiss him again. The kiss was hot and filled with passion the two were feeling.
Just when Harry started to move he's hands down they heard a door open, a gasp and an animalist growl.
This caused the two to stop and look towards the door. Both of them stared for a moment before Harry moved as fast as he could off of Severus's lap.
The moment Severus stood up Draco was out the door with tears in his eyes. Harry watched as Severus ran after him.
Harry then looked to Remus as he closed the door. He saw anger in the werewolf's eyes but also disappointment. "What the hell do you think you were doing?" Remus hissed out.
"I wanted to show him how I felt." Harry said as he watched the werewolf. He didn't even try to fix he's clothes or hair. It was pointless since they had gotten caught in the act.
"By making out with him?" Remus yelled at him. "He's in a relationship! You do not touch him!"
"I didn't mean for that to happen!" Harry yelled back. "I just wanted to show him how I felt!" Harry said repeating what he had just said. He was also trying to defend what he just did but was feeling guilty for it.
Remus just stood there for a moment as he took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Moving from the door he walked over until he was standing in front of Harry. Harry watched him as he waited to see if was going to yell at him more or not. He really didn't feel like fighting Remus right now. He felt like shit and wanted to be left alone.
"Look I know how you feel for both of them Harry. But you cannot just start making out with one of them. My advice is tried to sit down with both of them and explain things. Yes getting Malfoy to listen to you is going be harder now but once you do he might understand." Remus said.
"Right." Harry said, he's voice full of sarcasm. "And he might just AK me right one the spot."
Harry then looked at Remus for a moment before he spoke again. "You don't seem shock to see Severus here." Harry stated.
Remus gave a nod as he sat down on the couch. "I was worried about you but I knew you would not talk to me. So I asked Severus to come and check on you. I did not think you would put the moves on him." Remus said.
Harry said nothing to this as he sat in the chair that Severus had been sitting in. There were only two things going throw he's had at the moment. One was he hoped he did not just ruin Severus and Draco's relationship. The other one was why didn't Severus tell him the real reason he showed up. Did that mean there might be hope yet for at least Harry and Severus?
A/N There is the next chapter. I'm sorry for this being out so late. A lot of things happen in my real life like going on vacation to see my sister and her family and getting a really bad sun burn. But while I was gone I have written another chapter and a half. I hope to have the next one out by tomorrow.
