Warning: Boy/Boy (Severus/Harry) Do Not Read This Story If This Offends You.

me: See the warning?

Harry: We know.

Ron: Can't we just get onto the story?

me: Fine Ronald. Here it is...

A month has passed and Albus was thinking that he should call this whole entire relationship off between Severus and Harry. So far, the two hadn't made progress but after he had learned that Harry had kissed Severus in the Room Of Requirements, he put it aside and still hope for the best for the two of them.

Harry's spells were working and eventually, mastered them after a month as Severus had not yet mastered the patronum spell. "Hey Harry!" Colin's voice said suddenly as Harry blinked and found himself facing Colin as he, Ron and Hermione were at the dining room as they were eating their supper.

"Hey Colin," Harry said quietly as Hermione looked at him, "is everything alright Harry?" She asked. "Yea man, did you heard that we are going to have a dance?" Ron asked smiling as Harry stared at him, "a dance?" He repeated as Ron nodded. "Valentine is coming up. I hear this dance is going to be better then the Yule Ball," he said.

"Why'd you say that Ronald?" Hermione asked as Ron grinned, "cause the students can also ask the professors. We can also ask the kids who had already graduated here as well," he said as the two stared at him along with Colin. "Hang on, if I ask a professor, I could bring him/she to the dance?" Harry asked as Ron made a face when Harry said 'him' but nodded.

"Only in the seventh year though. After the dance, we can date the professor's as well," Ron said as Harry just stared at him. "Ron! Your not making this up, are you?" Hermione asked as Ron shook his head, "of course not! I heard it from Dumbledore who was speaking to McGonagall," he exclaimed as Harry stared at Hermione who shrugged.

Just then, a clap was heard from the staff table as every student turned and saw Dumbledore as he got ready for his speech. The trio listened carefully and sure enough, Ron's theory about the dance was correct. After the speech and dinner, the trio headed off into their common room to speak about the dance.

"So Hermione, who are you going to bring to the dance?" Ron asked as Hermione chuckled, "you of course. What about you Harry? Are you going to ask Cho?" She asked as Harry looked at her. "She has a new boyfriend, remember? I'm thinking about asking a professor to come with me," he said slowly as Hermione stared at him but Ron stared in disgust.

"But they are like, twice our age! That's disgusting, isn't it?" Ron asked, "not if you truly love the person Ron," Hermione scolded as Ron's face softened and nodded slowly. "True. So, who is it man?" He asked as Harry gulped, "you don't want to know," he began as Ron smiled at him.

"We know at least three people who won't go with you. Dumbledore, Filch and Snape," Ron said excitedly as Harry turned away from him. "Ron!" Hermione hissed as Ron blinked, "what? Did I say one of the professor's that you want to go with Harry?" Ron asked as Harry didn't stare at the two as he was too embarrassed.

Harry nodded slowly as he refused to stare at them, "who Harry?" Hermione asked eagerly as Harry gulped. "Professor Snape," he said as the two were silence, "Snape? The one who hated you since our first-year? But Harry, that can't be!" Ron said as Harry shook his head as he still refused to stare at the two.

"How did this happen Harry?" Hermione asked as Harry sighed, "when you two left for vacation. Snape kissed me while we were practicing with my spells and then I kissed him just a few days ago in the Room Of Requirements," he said. "Are you saying that, you truly love Snape?" Ron asked as Harry nodded.

"I...I mean, that's great for you Harry. But are you sure? I mean, he had been not graceful to us since the first day," Ron said. Harry sighed, "you just don't see the other side of him," he said quietly. "So I'm guessing that this relationship isn't really official yet, right?" Hermione asked as Harry shook his head, "I'm thinking of getting him gifts until Valentine and telling him who I really am at the end of the gift session."

"Oh, like a secret lover?" Hermione asked as Harry nodded, "we still have like three days Harry," Ron pointed out. "I know, what should I get him is beyond me," Harry murmured, "why not chocolates? Get the chocolate ones that he favors the most," Hermione said smiling as Harry's eyes lit up.

"Then perhaps roses on the second day? Do you think I should have them delievered during class?" Harry asked as Ron smirked, "that would be priceless. Seeing his face as he stare at the delievery," he said. "We should get Dumbledore to deliever it. I'm sure he wouldn't suspect anyone unless you say who it's from," Hermione said smiling.

"Thanks Hermione," Harry said as he stood up, "where are you going?" Ron asked as Harry turned to look at him. "To see Professor Dumbledore," he said as Ron smiled and the two watched him go.

Harry smiled as he returned to the common room about an hour an half later as he saw his friends sitting on the couch still staring at the fire in front of them. "Well?" Hermione asked eagerly as Harry nodded, "aw man. Now I can't wait for tomorrow!" Ron complained as Harry snickered.

"You'll be surprised as well," he said as he sat between them, "so, what did you get him?" Hermione asked excitedly as Harry shook his head as Hermione pouted and now all three of them couldn't wait for the gifts to arrive for Professor Snape starting tomorrow.
