Making the future history

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters and many of the places mentioned in this story. The plot is the only thing created by me.

Sorry for the late update. Unfortunately, I have absolutely tonnes to do at the moment but luckily it's nearly the Christmas holidays, which will give me more time to write. YAY!

Thanks to everyone who reviewed and I'm glad that no one hated me for Remus' reaction- I just thought it would be a bit unrealistic if he was happy for them straight away.

KingdomOfYourHeart:- I absolutely love Remus so it was hard for me to make him argue that much but I had to do it. Don't worry he will come round eventually but just to warn you it takes a long time. I feel bad for Sev as well because he genuinely hates what he has to do- I'm hoping I put that across ok. And you'll enjoy this chapter because Sev comes to visit.

danniperson:- I'm glad you liked the fact that it was realistic because I was a bit worried that everyone would hate me for making them argue lol. Just think that with his past history, he wouldn't feel comfortable them being together.

FroggerJane:- The argument was based loosely on the one in DH because I couldn't make Remus be angry on my own! I'm glad you enjoyed Harry trying to support Sev in his actions at Hogwarts.

GoddessonmyKnees:- Remus is being a bit irrational at the moment and it takes quite a while for him to come round but he will do eventually.

TheSlytherinShadow:- I'm glad you like the effect Harry has on Sev- I'm trying to get him to gradually open up in terms of his emotions- hopefully I'm doing a good job.

DawnCloud221:- I know I feel bad for them both too but eventually they will be happy again. YAY!

slytherinfigher2011:- You will get to see more of Harry and Remus' situation soon and find out what happens but I needed to put some conflict into it.

Jaffa Jaffa:- You should enjoy this chapter- Harry and Sev get to see each other! YAY!

T'Arrah:- I hate making Remus horrible because he's one of my favourites but he had to react like that for my story to work out- he won't always be an ass though.

Limelight12:- I know exactly what you mean- loads of Snarry stories ship Remus and Sirius and I do like them as a pairing but I needed him to be with Tonks for something that happens later on-I shall say no more! I might one day write a Snarry with Remus and Sirius together as well because I do love them.

Chapter 36: Visiting

After much careful planning, Harry, Ron and Hermione decided it was time that they starting patrolling Malfoy Manor, as it was currently their only hope to find another horcrux. As planned on their first visit there, all three of them would go just so that they could become accustomed to the place. So after all studying the photograph in the book, the three of them apparated to Wiltshire to begin. As soon as they arrived, at the side wall of the Manor, Harry and Ron covered themselves in the invisibility cloak and Hermione, who was best at spells, cast a disillusionment charm on herself. They slowly made their way around the entirety of the house, looking in each of the windows to see who was there and also to look for the entrance to the basement, which was apparently where Lucius kept dark artefacts. Once they had looked around the entire house, they realised that at the moment Narcissa was the only one there. They decided to take shifts in watching her and seeing if at any point, she left the house. Ron and Hermione went back to Grimmauld Place, as Harry took on the first watch, waiting two hours to be recovered by one of the others.

After weeks of watches on Malfoy Manor, they found that things were slightly unreliable in terms of when Narcissa was alone. Some days, she would be alone in the house all day, whereas others she would be visited by different Deatheaters and more often than not, her sister Bellatrix. Harry had managed to overhear a conversation between the sisters in which Narcissa was clearly very upset about both Draco and Lucius being away from home to be scolded by Bellatrix that she should be honoured that her family were serving the Dark Lord. Unfortunately, after this, Bellatrix went to the manor more often to make sure that her sister was still showing support to Voldemort, meaning it would be more difficult to plan a time to break in. However, something that Ron noticed on his hours of watching was that Narcissa left the house every day at midday but was gone for hardly any time at all. This seemed the only time that they could try to get in but they would have to search quickly.

'We only need time to get into the basement' reasoned Hermione, 'if we search quietly when we're down there then it doesn't matter if she's in the house or not. We've never seen her go down there when we've been watching so we should be safe.'

'We need to do this as soon as possible. We should go tomorrow at exactly midday to make sure we have enough time. She is literally out for about ten minutes…Merlin knows what she does in that time' Ron informed them. They all agreed that at midday the next day, they would all go to Malfoy Manor and take the chance to find the horcrux. Harry wrote in his diary to tell Severus their plan and hoped that at some point that night, he would get a chance to reply before Harry fell asleep. Lately, Severus had been so busy in Deatheater meetings and giving detention that by the time he got back to his quarters, Harry had fallen asleep with the open diary in his hand.

Hermione was fretting about going to Malfoy Manor. She spent the next couple of hours listing everything that could possibly go wrong from Narcissa coming back and hearing them to there being dark curses in the basement. Harry and Ron tried to convince her that they couldn't spend any more time planning if they wanted to get a move on with finding the horcrux and destroying it. As much as she agreed with them, she knew that if this went wrong, they wouldn't have another shot at going there. If Narcissa found out that they had been looking for something in her home, it would surely be swarming with Deatheaters the next time they attempted it. They were just going to have to be very careful and positive about their search.

Just as they had all finished dinner, the fireplace roared in green flames, showing that someone was entering the house. Harry, Ron and Hermione instinctively raised their wands and pointed them at the fire, waiting to see who was coming, knowing that any order member would knock at the door. Much to Ron and Hermione's relief and Harry's sheer delight, it was Severus.

'Severus! What are you doing here?' Harry ran towards the man, who was almost knocked off his feet by Harry's excitement and tight grasp. After regaining his balance, he absentmindedly stroked his fingers through Harry's hair and allowed a slight smile to form on his lips. He technically hadn't gone there for this but he hadn't realised until that exact moment how much he had missed Harry and as much as he wanted to hold him back, he had come for a reason.

'I've come to talk to you three about this plan you've got, concerning Malfoy Manor.'

'We've got it pretty much worked out but we need to take a chance and do it now' Harry told him. Severus gestured for them all to sit down and followed suit.

'I know that you have been watching the manor but how do you know that this will work? At this moment in time, you can't afford to be making mistakes. Also you know that Voldemort has many followers and there is only a small chance that you are right about who has the horcrux.'

'We have thought of that but Malfoy Manor seems the best place to start, considering that we know that it's where Tom Riddle's diary was being held' Hermione tried.

'I understand that Hermione but with respect, you have no way of knowing that there is another horcrux there. Even worse, if the horcrux is there and you make some mistake in your plan and fail to retrieve it, you will never have another opportunity to return.'

'We have thought about that but when it comes to something like this, it could still go wrong no matter how much planning you do.'

'I agree with you and I know that nothing I say will convince you to wait a while longer but I am just warning you that you must be cautious. If at any point, you suspect that Narcissa is aware of your presence, you must leave immediately, even if you are certain that the horcrux is there.'

'We know that she goes out every day at 12 but she's not gone for long. That's our only chance. Do you know why she goes out for ten minutes a day?' Ron asked.

'Unfortunately, due to Lucius' incompetence, the Dark Lord wishes to keep an eye on Narcissa and demands to see her every day at that time to ensure that she hasn't fled. He has people keeping an eye on Lucius at Hogwarts and he does not understand that Narcissa would not take the chance to leave without her family. He thinks that given the chance, she will leave to escape the grasp of the dark side.'

'That's awful. I almost feel sorry for her. We've watched her for weeks and she walks around that house like a zombie' Hermione interjected.

'I fear she feels that without her family there, she has nothing worth living for and the only reason that she hasn't given up is in the hope that the war will end soon.'

After the conversation was over, Hermione suggested to Ron that they have an early night and lead him upstairs, confusion clear on his face.

'I'm not tired yet 'Mione…'

'Shut up Ron. We're going to bed now' she said through gritted teeth. It was obvious to everyone other than Ron that she was trying to give Harry and Severus time alone but Ron was clearly not taking this hint. Severus laughed at Ron's obliviousness and wrapped Harry in his arms as soon as they were alone. Harry began to kiss the man holding him slowly, almost as if he was testing to see if this really was the man that he'd been missing all this time. Severus soon responded and deepened the kiss further, encouraging Harry to massage his tongue with his older lover's and neither moved from the spot that they were in on the sofa, savouring the moment.

'Harry as much as I am happy to see you, I really can't stay for long.'

'I guessed that much. How long do we have?'

'Less than an hour or someone will notice that I'm not there.'

'Really? Is that all?' Harry was heartbroken; Severus had only just got here and it was unbearable to think that he would soon be leaving again.

'I'm sorry Harry. I would stay longer if I could.'

'I know that. When do you think you will be able to come again?'

'I don't think it will be any time soon. I wasn't even planning on coming to see you today.'

'Will you promise me something?'

'What is it?' he stroked the other man's cheek as he spoke, hoping that he wasn't causing him more pain by being there than he would be if he weren't there.

'Will you at least see me on Christmas day?'

'I will do my best Harry. I shouldn't expect that there will be too many reasons for me to remain at Hogwarts on Christmas. I'm hoping that the other Deatheaters will want to be with their families.'

'Thank you' Harry eyed his lover, wanting to say something seductive to tempt his him but without the diary separating them, Harry was concerned about his dirty talking skills. He must have looked worried in his thoughts, as Severus soon assumed that there was a problem.

'Is there something wrong Harry?' he said, touching the other man's face.

'No there's nothing wrong. I just wish we had more time.'

'I'm sorry.'

'Well we might as well…you know…' Severus raised an eyebrow at him. 'Well… we should…make the most out of our time.'

'What are you trying to say Harry?' smirked Severus. In response, Harry simply held onto Severus' arm and apparated them both to his bedroom and they both fell on the bed as they landed. Severus grunted in approval and quickly placed himself on top of Harry, muttering an incantation, which removed all of their clothes and placed them neatly on Harry's drawers. Having such a short amount of time made them both want to skip all the time-consuming parts and allow them to worship each other's bodies as much as they could.

Still kissing him, Severus ran his hands all over Harry's body and paid special attention to his nipples, tweaking them until they went hard under his fingers. Harry instinctively bucked upwards, causing friction between their erections and making his lover moan and close any space left between them. Severus began grinding himself against Harry's hardness, enjoying the sensation and watching his younger lover writhe underneath him. When Severus could feel Harry's precum forming against his own cock, Severus went down to lick Harry's tip and tasted the salty cum. He wanted more but Harry was pushing his head away.

'Stop. Don't do that. You'll make me cum and I want to cum with you.' Severus growled at Harry's suggestion and quickly cast a lubricating charm on Harry before slowly entering one finger inside of him. Despite the lack of time and Harry's hastiness to go further, Severus wanted to make sure that Harry was fully prepared, considering that this was only his second time. The lubricant certainly helped and Harry was soon pushing down on Severus' finger, hoping it would hit his prostate. However, Severus was careful not to let this happen, as preparing Harry for something larger seemed more important at that moment in time. He pushed another finger into Harry's entrance and heard a wince of pain come from his lover but soon whispered words of comfort to him. Harry soon relaxed and allowed Severus to fully insert his two fingers inside of him, which be soon became accustomed to and found himself wanting more.

'That's enough. Please. I need you' he begged. Usually, Severus would have protested and spent longer stretching Harry but his need to be intimate with him along with the lack of time that the two had was enough to make him give Harry exactly what he wanted. Without any further discussion, Severus lined himself up against Harry's entrance and pushed the tip of his throbbing cock partially inside. His lover attempted to hide the fact that he was in pain but Severus could see the muscles in his face tighten, along with those in his backside, almost trying to stop Severus from going any further. Severus lent forwards without pushing inside and kissed Harry on every body part that he could reach, which soon soothed him. Harry's muscles relaxed and he wrapped one leg around Severus' back, trying to force him deeper into him.

Not needing any further hints, Severus lowered his body as close to Harry's as was comfortably possible and pushed himself entirely into Harry's willing opening. He caught the man's lips to stop him from letting out a painful cry and encouraged him to grab Severus' back in an attempt to move them closer together. Severus whispered into Harry's ear before trailing kisses down to his neck, causing Harry to sigh in passion. It took almost a full minute before his younger lover felt comfortable but Severus was patient with him. Upon being asked to move, Severus pulled out only an inch before gently allowing himself to fill Harry again. Harry's pained face told Severus that he was right to go slowly and despite both of them being desperate for more, the older wizard moved at a painfully slow pace. He pulled out slightly further each time before moving back in to please his lover. By the time that Severus was able to almost completely pull back out, he knew that Harry was ready for the pleasure. He pulled out, leaving only his tip inside of the man before pushing back in slightly faster than before and perfectly hitting his lover's prostate.

'Ahh!' Severus smirked in satisfaction as the pain in his lover's face was replaced by pure pleasure. He took this opportunity to speed up his thrusts, much to Harry's joy, who cried out each time he felt his lover's erection press into his sweet spot. The younger man hoped that Severus was enjoying the sensation as much as he was but only worried for a short time before his lover became increasingly enthusiastic and began grunting loudly into his ear. Severus didn't think the feeling of being inside Harry was ever going to get boring- the tight warmth around his cock was so pleasurable and he knew that his lover was enjoying it just as much. After mere minutes of deep penetration, Severus could feel Harry's channel tighten as he attempted to hold back his orgasm. He reached down as best as he could and grabbed hold of Harry's erection stoking it slightly out of time with his thrusts.

Harry soon came, bucking into Severus' hand as he spent himself all over it and digging his nails into the older man's back. As Harry relaxed around him, Severus continued pumping faster inside of him until he released his orgasm inside his lover. Over a minute passed with Severus lying on top of Harry, still inside of him attempting to recover from the overwhelming power of the intense orgasms. When he had enough energy, Severus slipped out of Harry slowly and lay next to him on the bed.

'I forgot how good it was' Harry grinned.

'As did I.' Harry flopped an arm across Severus' chest as he tried to move closer to him, hoping that it would be a big enough distraction from time to keep his lover there with him. The two lay in silence for a few minutes before Severus hesitantly got up from the bed.

'I'm sorry Harry but I really should go. I've been here much longer than I thought I would be.' Seeing the sadness in Harry's eyes melted even his ice-cold heart as he spoke.

'I understand but I just wish you could have stayed longer.'

'I'm sorry.'

'I know.' Harry got up and wrapped his arms around a now fully-clothed Severus. 'I'll miss you' he said quietly into his lover's chest.

'I'll miss you too.' And with that, Severus Snape left the room for the fireplace, not wanting to spend another second feeling the shared pain between himself and Harry.

What did everyone think? I'm getting excited about the plot now lol. It's going where I want it to for a change. The next chapter will mainly be based on the break in to Malfoy Manor so the plot is going somewhere. Also, what does everyone think of Narcissa so far? She isn't given much as a character in the book so this is just the impression I got of her- you will see more in the next chapter. Please review.
