A/N: Warnings and all that in the first chapter

Once Harry moved into Severus' quarters, time seemed to fly by for everyone.

Harry and Severus quickly fell into a routine. It was so simple, and they were both exceedingly happy.

Most nights, before dinner, they could be found in Severus' office, quietly working; Harry on schoolwork, Severus grading papers. After dinner, they would sometimes go on a walk around the grounds or cuddle by the fire.

Friday night was date night. Often, the couple would skip the Great Hall, opting to have Dobby bring something from the kitchens to their rooms. After dinner, and an after dinner cuddle by the fire, they would go into the bedroom. There, they would spend the rest of the night exploring one another; memorizing where each scar lay, where each sensitive spot hid, what drove the other crazy with need.

For Harry, the best part was getting to see Severus let go when they were in bed; seeing the man come undone when he would touch or suck him, the passion and love in his dark eyes when they made love, and the care and tenderness in his touch when he explored his body.

For Severus, the best part was knowing that he was the only person to get to see Harry in this way. He, alone, knew Harry's sensitive areas, how to make him scream, and his tenderness.

Sunday afternoons were time apart for the couple; Harry would go to Gryffindor to see his friends and study, or just hang out, and Severus would read or brew for the Hospital wing.

Harry enjoyed having a little time away from his lover. It made him appreciate what they had that much more. Seeing his friends was great, but after a few hours, he wanted to go back to his rooms and cuddle with his partner.

Severus always was sad to see Harry go when the younger man was visiting his friends. However, he knew how much the small, yet close, group meant to Harry. He couldn't help but be a little nervous about Harry leaving him for someone younger.

However, when Harry would get home, all Severus' worries would melt away at the love in Harry's eyes when he would see him.

Since Blaise had revealed his feelings to Draco, the blonde's life had slowly turned around. He was no longer stalking Professor Snape, Weasley was now leaving him alone, and he had discovered feelings awakening in him for Blaise. He was happy to finally be moving past his obsession with Snape.

Draco was starting to feel lighter, as well, like he had thrown off a blanket of depression. He was sure Blaise was a big part of that. Finally having a person whom he could always talk to about anything was the best gift he had ever received.

The Gryffindors felt the absence of their leader for quite a while. They had all grown so used to Harry being there, that knowing they only saw him at meals and in class was painful.

Ron and Hermione felt the loss most. Although they were extremely happy for their best friend, they were saddened by his moving from the tower. They had spent so much time together since starting school six years ago, not seeing Harry every day was difficult.

Neville and Ginny felt the lost also, but now as much as Ron and Hermione. Harry had often stuck up for Neville, which instilled a small amount of pride in the boy. Ginny was saddened by Harry's move, but she was more than happy that he was finally happy.

Dean and Seamus missed their fifth dorm mate, but they were more happy that he was happy at last.

Albus could not believe that his pawn had broken out of his grasp. The boy was his! Not Severus! The Potions Master hated the boy until defeat of Lord Voldemort.

He was supposed to get the boy to marry into the Weasley family, and he was supposed to do so much more!

Albus couldn't even talk to any of his staff about his failed plans! They were all happy for the boy and the spy! How dare they support something other than his plans!

A/N: Yeah, a shitty time lapse chapter. I hated it when I wrote it, I still hate it, but I didn't have any ideas for the first term, so here's this shitty thing.
