Chapter twenty five

Over the next few days, Harry spent some of the time with Severus, but as he said, he was repairing Hogwarts so he couldn't leave the castle every day. When Harry wasn't with Severus he was with his parents, Sirius, or even his friends, mostly Hermione and Ron.

'So how's it going with professor Snape?' Hermione asked.

'Good, we talk a lot, getting to know each other.'

'They don't always talk when their together,' Sirius said.

'Well, we're together, naturally we're going to fuck each other Sirius.'

'Harry,' Hermione said looking surprised.

'It's fine Hermione, Harry's emotions sometimes has him saying things he normally wouldn't,' Sirius sat beside Harry, 'You know I didn't mean anything by it pup.'

'I know, sorry, I'm saying and doing things that isn't me at all. Mum said it's all to do with being pregnant.'

'So have you been snapping at everyone?' Ron asked.

'Mainly Sirius and dad,' Harry shrugged.

'It's to do with Snape, we might not say anything bad about him, but that's what Harry hears because he's expecting to hear that from us. We've told him we won't and we're trying to be polite to him, which we have by the way.'

'I know, sorry, I just think sooner or later you won't be able to help yourselves,' Harry leant against Sirius so he's head on was his godfather's shoulder, 'I love him Sirius.'

'I know you do pup. I admit I wish you had someone more your age and not him, but it is your decision.'

'It is and I want him. I know none of you can understand because you don't see him like I do.'

'Has he said how he feels about you?' Hermione asked.

'That's not really anyone's business Hermione.'

'So he hasn't,' Ron said.

'He cares, he's told me he cares, I have to give him time. He's never had a relationship before as his life was dedicated to spying for Dumbledore after leaving Voldemort.'

'So he's only had a relationship with you, when he was young and now?' Hermione asked.

'Yes, but when I went back we were friends for a few months, then I asked him out. We came here, had sex, then spent a week together, with more sex before I came back, so we never really had a proper relationship then, now we are.'

'About that Harry, when you left, how did he take that?' Sirius asked.

'He said it hurt, that he hated me for a while. I did tell him I had to leave but we would see each other again. I knew what I did would be hard on both of us, if he liked me back then I would leave, for a long time as far as he was concerned, he's feeling for me might have changed. I knew I risked being hurt if he didn't like me, but I had to try so he would finally see me and not my father. I did try to deny how I felt about him when I first realised I started to have feelings for him, but I couldn't. Why do you think I stuffed up my potions so much?'

'Deliberately?' Ron raised his eyebrows.

'No, when he spoke I lost concentration, then if I happen to see his eyes, I was just lost completely.'

'Why didn't you tell us?' Hermione asked.

'About being gay or Sev?'

'Both but let's start with being gay.'

'When I was dating Ginny I still didn't realise even though I knew something wasn't quite right. The year before when Sev was teaching me occlumense I was confused that I was looking forward to those lessons. It never occurred to me I was gay, not until we were away. You know how many times we'd get stuck on what we were doing, so I tried to clear my head. I used to have these day dreams about it being over and we survived, that I might get a family. But as I was thinking about Ginny, my mind started to conjure up images of Sev, naked,' Harry shrugged, 'I realised I was gay and had the hot's for professor Severus Snape.'

'It still doesn't explain why you never told us, you normally tell us everything,' Hermione said.

'Well, to be honest, I wasn't sure how Ron would react. I would sit there thinking about how to explain and all I saw was Ron calling me names and hexing me, having a go at me because of Ginny, then hexing me again. I couldn't tell you and not Ron especially since I knew how you two felt about each other.'

'Were you really worried what I would say or do?'

'Yeah, none of us ever mentioned gay people, I shared your room at the Burrow, Grimmauld place and we shared at Hogwarts. How often did we all see each other in the showers, I was worried how you would take that.'

'The only thing I would have said was keep your hands to yourself, I'm straight.'

'Everyone knows you're straight as you've been lusting after Hermione for years.'

'Yes, how in the name of merlin did that come about? You two are so very different,' Sirius said.

'We might be different Sirius, but you can't control your feelings,' Hermione said as she took Ron's hand in hers.

Just then the door opened, James and Lily walked in with two teenage girls who stared instantly at Harry.

'Jamie, Liliana, meet your brother, Harry,' Lily said sweetly.

'Brother,' Ron gaped.

'You never told us you had sisters Harry,' Hermione said.

'That's why I wanted you both here today Hermione,' Harry got up and stepped over to his sisters, 'Hi, you both look like mum.'

'Um, yes, we do,' Jamie said softly, 'The scar is real.'

'We can see it,' Liliana said.

'Yeah, it's real. Why don't you come sit down,' Harry felt a little uncomfortable, his sisters just kept staring at him, 'These are my best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, Ron, Hermione, Jamie and Liliana, my twin sisters.'

'Hello,' Hermione smiled.

'You were the one that helped Harry,' Liliana said.

'Both of you did,' Jamie said.

'That's us and you sound like my twin brothers who always talk one after another.'

'It's a twin thing, so Harry, how are you feeling?' Lily kissed his head before sitting with James.

'You know, up and down at the moment.'

'He had another go at me before.'

'I don't mean it Sirius. Are these emotional mood swings going to last right through the pregnancy?'

'They can sweetheart, we all know you won't mean what you say or if you yell at us.'

'He's pregnant,' Jamie said.

'Too who?' Liliana asked.

'You'll find out soon, he'll be here later, he's joining us for dinner,' Harry quickly glanced at his father and Sirius, 'Don't start, please.'

'We won't, it's just hard on us having to spend time with someone we never liked,' James said, 'So just like he needs time, so do we.'

'We're not going to cause any problems Harry, so calm down.'

'Sorry, I just feel so strange all the time, it's hard to know what I'm feeling because it changes at any given moment. But I'm not sleeping well, is that because I'm pregnant?'

'I don't know about that, I slept fine until I was as big as a hippogriff. Why don't you take a nap, we'll be here when you wake.'

'That wouldn't be good, you're all here in my home and I'm getting to know my sisters.'

'Harry son, we're fine, we'll talk later, go have a nap, it will make you feel better.'

'Okay, Hermione, Ron, are you going to stay?'

'We'll be here mate, we'll tell your sisters some stories about you,' Ron smirked.

'Oh great, just what I need, they'll end up hating me before they know me. Anyway, I'll only go down for an hour. If Sev turns up, behave, both of you, well, all three of you,' Harry glared at his father, godfather and his mate before heading upstairs to sleep.
