Severus was happy when he woke up in the morning to find the lion still in bed with him. He had wondered if he would slip away when Severus was asleep. He wasn't sure the boy wouldn't have woken him up. He didn't think early morning quidditch practices would be an issue for him. Oh he planned on the boy spending more nights with him then this one. But he was usually up early and in the lab working on a potion anyways. He had actually slept in for the first time since he was in school he thought. It seems that the lion had worn him out enough. And he didn't seem in any rush now to head to the lab to get some work done. It seems his work ethic might slip a bit now that he had someone to enjoy. Lucius who was a work aholic himself would likely tell him that he still worked more then anyone else.

He did leave the bed to see to a breakfast tray brought for them. He had promised the boy breakfast in bed and he planned to keep to it. Not that he would be cooking it himself. One of the perks of living at school were the meals though he did have an elf at home as well.

He smiled when he came back into the room and the boy was sitting up in bed. "Just in time."

Harry eyed him. "If you wanted me out so you could go to the lab I can show myself out."

Severus instead came to his side and handed him a mug. "I meant as breakfast will soon be here."

Harry took the cup and watched him. "Breakfast?"

Severus sunk down next to him. "I recall promising you breakfast in bed."

Harry had forgotten that. "I told you I wouldn't stay."

Severus motioned to his mug. "And yet you did."

Harry could obviously not deny that. "I should be going."

Severus motioned to the drink in his hands. "You wouldn't want to miss breakfast."

Harry sipped the tea in hand. "I should get dressed and go."

Severus smiled as his elf arrived. "I believe I promised you breakfast in bed."

Harry was amazed when a tray was put over his lap and another brought for Severus. "You did."

Severus picked up a strawberry and went to feed it to Harry. "I wouldn't want to send you home hungry."

Harry ate the strawberry but stared at him. "Going to let me leave?"

Severus smirked. "Have I stopped you once?"

Harry didn't answer and turned to his food. He knew he couldn't argue with the man as he had a point. As much as he protested the night before that he wanted to leave he hadn't. He had stayed and he had done more then. He hadn't protested sex and as much as he knew the man had wanted to fuck him he knew the man would not have raped him. If only for fear of being attacked by the marauders and arrested as well. But he still couldn't wrap his head around what he had done the night before. His mind spun with memories of the night.

Severus was smiling as he enjoyed the breakfast and watching the young lion eat his food. He knew it may take a few days but he had no doubt the boy would be back here wanting more. And he would prove to Harry it was more then about sex though he would enjoy that too.

When Harry was done and the dishes were gone Severus drew Harry into his arms. "Its early we have more time."

Harry drew away from him. "People will wonder where I am."

Severus reminded him. "Most of the kids aren't back yet and there are no classes."

Harry had forgotten besides him, Hermione and Ron most kids weren't back, just those who stayed. "I should be studying."

Severus slid his hand under the blanket. "I am sure your friends are sleeping in."

Harry bit his lip as the man's hand slid down his chest going further. "Ron will be working."

Severus found his target and his hand started stroking. "Well it's a good thing you don't sleep in the tower for him to miss."

Harry groaned as the man's hand grasped his cock. "You promised no more."

Severus reminded him. "Last night."

Harry's drew back a bit. "I said once."

Severus whispered in his ear. "You did and I said you could leave any time."

Harry whimpered in need as he felt his hips lift to meet the hand. "I think I need to go to the bar."

Severus added more pressure. "No need for bathroom stalls in the bar. I have all the alcohol you could need and more privacy."

Harry felt his hand taken from the bed and placed on the man's cock. "I am looking for a date."

Severus smiled inwardly as he felt the hand on his moving up and down without prompting. "I did try and invite you for another date."

Harry was on the very edge. "You don't want to date me."

Severus added the final bit of pressure as he felt himself close as well. "I told you lion I want it all."

Harry could not respond as the man had brought him to another amazing climax. He barely registered that he had done the same for the man. He found himself drawn up from the bed and led into the bathroom. Though Severus insisted on washing his back for him again he didn't go any further and had Harry do his back for him as well. Harry was surprised to have some fresh clothes to change in to and he realized Severus had sent an elf to collect some clothes for him. Harry slipped into the fresh clothes and looked at the door.

Severus pulled him in close. "You don't look ready to leave."

Harry drew back. "I have been all morning."

Severus motioned. "Yet you are now in no rush."

Harry smirked. "Don't get any idea it is because of you."

Severus lifted an eyebrow. "And why is it?"

Harry reminded him. "There are Slytherins lurking."

Severus smirked but motioned. "Come this way."

Harry was led into his private lab but through to his office the other side. "And this helps how?"

The man shrugged. "Detention. I am certain you have had enough from me for anyone to buy that."

Harry agreed with him on that. "Though it is the holidays."

Severus opened the door. "I can yell at you if it helps. But we know you get into trouble even during holidays."

Harry didn't respond and slid through the door and headed for the stairs. He had seen no one in the hall and he was happy to escape. He was doubtful the detention excuse was great as it was pretty early in the morning. He had almost said it to the man but he didn't want to encourage him to think Harry should stay longer. But he made it upstairs without running into Draco or any others who may be there or so he thought.

Severus turned to his table to start a potion. 'I have never started so late."

A voice came from behind him. "Already messing with your productivity?"

Severus turned to look at his nephew. "Who is that?"

Draco smirked at his godfather. "I saw him sneaking up the stairs."

Severus didn't let on. "Detention."

Draco didn't buy it for a moment. "He would just be starting on cauldrons and you'd not be late on your potion."

Severus put on his apron. "Did you come here to aid me on a potion or to grill me about my se….personal life?'

Draco smirked but he put the apron on. "Sex life?"

Severus grimaced. "A slip of my tongue. Now get to work on the slugs before I find cauldrons."

Draco took up a knife. "You know even my dad would be happy you were getting out."

Severus smirked at that. "I don't need my brother meddling in my life any more then he does. And that goes for his son."

Lucius was his brother in all but blood and Draco was his nephew more then his godson. But he found his brother liked to meddle far too much in his life. Lucius seemed to think now the war was over that Severus had no excuse to get out and date. He had even sunk to the low of reminding Severus he was Lord Prince and he needed an heir to his title. He wasn't surprised Lucius had enlisted his godson in his little goal. The only thing worse would be if Draco told either of his parents of his suspicions. Narcissa would be worse then her husband and son combined.

Draco went to leave at lunch time. "I would tell mum but I don't think she'd keep it from Sirius. And I don't think you'd survive."

Hermione had shot Harry a questioning look when he had appeared back in their tower. She hadn't seen him at breakfast. He made the comment he had spent the night in his room in his dad's apartments. She had trouble buying that. If they still lived in the dorms he may have for privacy as he had not been prefect. But he only stayed with his dads now on a rare occasion and they were of course away on their honeymoon. Harry made a comment about her and Ron as well as his dads had a tv. She knew they did as they had found a way around the school magic but she knew there was more to this. But for now she let it drop. Her suspicions continued to grow about who it was and his secrecy added to that.

As the last term of their time at Hogwarts started the seniors were busier then ever with their studies. Many of them were also off campus doing job interviews and such. Hermione had already been assured a place in law school with full funding. Harry of course was already signed with the United who had indeed sent him a much larger contract then he had expected. It seems they were worried he would be tempted by other teams. But he and Hermione were doing their best to help Ron with his studies. Unlike Harry and Hermione he didn't have a career path laid out.

Ron came back from London a few weeks later and he was smiling. "Finally."

Hermione turned to her boyfriend. "Can I take it your mysterious interview went well?"

Harry was with her. "You wouldn't tell us where it was."

Ron nodded. "I didn't want to get my hopes up about the job until if and when I got it."

Hermione could tell from the grin but she asked. "And did you?"

Ron nodded. "I will start two weeks after graduation. Even comes with an one bedroom flat for us if we want as part of the pay."

Harry pushed. "What is it?"

Hermione asked. "In London?"

Ron smiled. "I had an interview with Moody. Your dad helped arrange it."

Harry was surprised. "I didn't think you had the marks."

Ron agreed. He could have gotten in without potions but he knew he wouldn't have the scores. "Not as an auror but in security."

Hermione was reminded. "There are security for both the ministry and the bank. They don't use aurors for such."

Ron nodded. "Its an one year training program with pay. And Moody said that those who do well at it have been able to get into auror."

Harry was so happy for his friend. "You know you will do amazing."

Hermione agreed. "You were always great at practical. And even a guard is a good position."

Ron agreed with her. "I will work really hard and even if I don't get to transfer to the auror academy after a year, I could in a few years."

He would not be at the auror school but a similar training program for a year. He would get experience to be security for not only the ministry and bank but things like for visiting diplomats and such. These were areas that the aurors were considered too experienced for. Along with a flat it came with a descent pay cheque while in training. If he wasn't able to transfer to auror training after a year he would be assured a job. He had considered the bank but he didn't have the marks for curse breaking like Bill. Nor did he have the math to work as an actual banker either. Harry had considered curse breaking and was going to take some training that summer. Bill had encouraged him to take the test and see if he had the skill and he had aced it. He wouldn't play quidditch forever and while he was thinking teaching he thought to keep doors open. He didn't know if there would be an opening for him at school in a few years. Since quidditch wouldn't start till fall he had the summer off. Ron had done well enough in charms but he had scored too low for the curse breaker. Besides he had only been excited by the prospect of travel.

Hemione and Ron were soon talking about the flat. Ron had saved up for a deposit on an apartment with her but it wouldn't be needed. It wouldn't be a grand flat but a descent one near the ministry for both of them. Harry was happy as he listened to the two of them.

Hermione looked over at Harry as they headed for dinner. "Well you will be in Grimmauld so close."

Ron agreed. "Except when you are off playing. You are still planning on Grimmauld and not Puddlemere?"

Harry smiled. "Oliver and Katie live in London and play. Its an easy enough commute. Maybe not if I was a muggle but thankfully not."

Hermione shook her head. "Dads not worried you will burn it down? You will be all alone in the house ten months of the year."

Harry smirked. "I actually think they hope I will. You know Siri isn't fond of the house. He cant get rid of it, it being one of two main homes."

Ron snorted. "He could always give it to you. I thought heirs could."

Harry agreed with him. "Oh he did. He is officially signing it over to me or is about to. Only way to rid himself of it is with his official heir."

Ron wondered. "Hoping to rid himself of Kreacher."

Hermione pointed out. "He can't. The elf serves the family not the house."

Harry agreed with her. "And he is the main elf for the family. The other manors have elves but he is the central elf."

Ron shrugged. "Could add a head to the wall."

Hermione shot her boyfriend an angry look. "No joking about that."

Harry was reminded of SPEW. "Well Sirius has tried to comfort me and tell me his insane elf likes me better then him."

Remus had come up behind his son. "He doesn't threaten to spit in your food at least."

Sirius agreed with his husband. "Or put hot peppers in it when you aren't looking."

Harry laughed when he heard that. "There is that. Where are you two going?"

Sirius grunted. "Your Aunt has invited us for dinner. Final preparations for that damned dinner."

Remus reminded his son. "Be grateful you only have to attend the dinner in a week."

Harry shrugged. "You agreed to the dinner."

The men had mainly to shut her up about not being able to plan the wedding. They had thought she would throw them a dinner party. Oh they knew it would be over the top as nothing Narcissa did was simple. But they had not been expecting some full out reception. They had tried to remind her they had a reception in Morocco and she had been there for it. But she had been busy planning ever since Christmas time. They had tried pointing out it shouldn't take three months to plan this party. But she and Andromeda both reminded the men that the reception was the part of the wedding that took the most planning in the first place. Besides most weddings took at least twice as long to plan.

Harry mentioned to Hermione and Ron when they sat down to eat. "Well I just thought the best house warming gift for you."

Ron eyed him over his pumpkin juice. "Not sure I like the sounds of that."

Harry shrugged. "I thought I could send Kreacher to you to cook a few nights a week."

Ron winced at that. "I thought you liked us mate."

Ginny snorted from across the table. "Couldn't be any worse then Ron's cooking."

Hermione agreed with her boyfriend. "Its not even about SPEW. He hates muggle borns."

Harry laughed a little, "Well he has got over my half blood status since we put the painting to sleep. He may warm up to you."

Ron didn't think it likely. "You try sending us that elf and we may not be inviting you over."

Harry agreed with Ginny though. "Considering both your cooking skills I am not sure that is much a threat."

Hermione didn't deny it. "Dad has taught me a few basics."

Molly had failed with all but Bill in trying to teach her kids to cook. Even Ginny for all her jokes was not much better then Ron. Hermione had proven she was little better then Ron. Her dad had been the cook in her family. Her parents shared the chores as they also shared a dental practice. Her dad had always cooked dinner as he worked the morning shift at the clinic they ran. Her parents worked full time after she started school full time but dinner had stayed the same with dad cooking. But he had been teaching her some basic recipes so she wouldn't starve or have to rely on take out or convenience foods which wizards had as well. Molly had taught her a few cooking spells as well. Harry at least could cook.

Hermione smiled. "Well I don't start school till fall but I landed the clerk position. It will be full time in the summer and part in the fall."

Harry found himself headed to Malfoy manor for the weekend a week later. He had been invited to spend the entire weekend. But he had quidditch or so was his excuse. They had won the second game of the season against Ravenclaw. Though he had his quidditch contract signed and their final game was against Hufflepuff he was still driving his team. He didn't simply want to win the cup his final year he wanted to win it with a big blow out total. He was excited to play professional. He would head to the manor at lunch time on Saturday to go to the reception and some how found himself invited to spend the night after. He had little idea what to expect as he had never attended a reception only wedding.

He reluctantly left his team after a cool down shower to head for the manor. He would have rather headed up to the school for lunch. Though some Weasleys had been invited to attend Ron had not so he was not coming with Harry. But Draco joined Harry on the bus with Blaise.

When he got to the manor Sirius practically tackled him. "Thank Merlin you are here cub."

Harry was a bit startled. "Happy to see you too. But I am a bit scared."

Remus shook his head. "Your Aunts are driving him crazy. He is hoping you may distract them a bit."

Harry winced at that. "They are his relatives not mine last I looked."

Draco came up behind him. "When Sirius adopted you, you gained us all."

Harry tried to sound serious. "Is there time to rethink my adoption?"

Sirius pouted. "That isn't funny cub."

Harry assured his dad. "I was joking though perhaps we can return to black sheep status."

Narcissa cut off talk. "I am glad you got here. Just time to give you your gift before you get dressed."

Harry was confused. "Dressed? And gift? I thought gifts were for the couple."

Andromeda reminded him. "We have never really had a welcome to the family for you."

Narcisa added. "And it's tradition around here."

Harry was amazed when he found himself in the stables. "I knew you mentioned it but thought you were joking."

Lucius led out a horse from a stall. "Consider it a combination late Christmas gift and welcome to the family."

Harry was amazed at the beautiful big mare who was a dark gray in color with black mane and tail. She was sixteen hands and looked quite powerful. Sirius had told him he had grown up riding though he hadn't had his own horse in years. They did have stables at Black Manor, the main family home, so he could keep his horse there and not have to come to the Malfoys. For now Harry didn't want to cause drama so he didn't mention moving the horse or not. The couple were nice enough and he knew they were family for him and his dads. But he didn't see coming here to spend much time other then holidays. He knew Narcissa was hoping the horse would inspire him to come more. She really did seem to sink into the idea he was her nephew. Harry decided to focus on his horse who he chose the name Blitz. He didn't have any time to enjoy her as he was rushed off up the stairs to a suite of rooms to change. He found some new clothes laid out for him. Not dress robes as the ceremony had already happened but some nice dress clothes like he knew Draco would have worn. He reluctantly changed into them.

He found his dads waiting for him downstairs. They didn't have much idea what to expect either. All they knew were the guests. Moody, Kingsley, Molly and Arthur with their three eldest sons and their dates were all there. He noticed Madam Bones and who Harry thought must be her husband, reminded Sirius kind of worked with her. Albus, Minerva, Poppy, Filius and Hagrid came from school as well. There were a few others Harry didn't really know but who had been members of the order and friends of the marauders. Emmeline, Hestia, Dedalus, Elphias, and Sturgis were all names Harry had heard. He was shocked even Aberforth and Arabella came. Harry had heard some of the names when Voldemort came back after the tournament but after he defeated him in the ministry, he had never met all the members till now.

Harry was amazed when they were led into the ballroom. "Am I seeing things."

Sirius groaned. "I wish you were."

Remus elbowed his husband. "Play nice. Your cousin went to a lot of effort."

Sirius smirked at his husband. "That is the problem. You know you agree with me."

Harry laughed as the women were coming over. "And you thought eloping would save you the circus."

Tonks had heard Harry and whispered. "It may have encouraged my Aunt to do more."

Narcissa smiled as she looked the men over. "Now our guests of honor are here we can start."

Sirius decided to take his husband's advice and kissed her cheek. "This amazing Cissy. Though way more then the dinner we agreed to."

Andromeda waved him off. "There is dinner as well."

Narcissa had considered just a dinner as they had been at the wedding but she had decided the others had not. Besides the men needed a proper reception and not the desert picnic with belly dancers they had. It would be a few years before Harry, Draco and Tonks gave them a wedding to plan. Neither her niece or Harry were even dating as far as she knew. Though disappointed that Draco was not going to marry Pansy, she was very fond of Blaise and would love their wedding one day. Blaise was the only other young person invited to come, to get Draco to come home. If Harry had a known date he or she would have been welcome but Narcissa had been told he wasn't dating anyone yet.

She had been inspired by their more traditional honeymoon in Greece for the reception. The columns of the room helped with the feel anyways. But the furnishing was not a traditional dinner. There were Greek style couches and tables forming a u shape in the center of the room.

Sirius and Remus found themselves at the central one, and their son next to them. Sirius looked at the centre. "Should I worry."

Tonks who was with Harry on his couch, her parents on her other side, laughed. "Entertainment of course."

Narcissa who with her husband was on the other side of Remus agreed. "Since you demanded there be no dancing."

Sirius reminded her. "As we said Only dinner."

Narcissa waved him off. "Consider it dinner with a show."

The food and entertainment were made to feel again like they had eloped. There was wine and the best Greek cuisine. The music and dancing was a spectacle but at least what they would have seen in Athens or such. The grooms even did get a chance to get up and break some dishes. There was dancing for all the guests to participate in after the dinner was done. There was even a formal wedding cake which was something they had not had when they were in Morocco. They had desserts but they had chosen to forego a more traditional wedding cake.

Harry needed air later and headed outside and found himself in the stables. He was with his horse when he heard a voice. "Hiding?"

Harry didn't turn to look at the man. "I needed a bit of a break."

The man came into the stall with him. "You should have invited me."

Harry turned to him. "Perhaps I needed a break from you as well."

Severus drew him into his arms. "You know your Aunt will insist on worse for us."

Harry gawked at the man. "Us?"

Severus started unbuttoning the boy's pants. "You are her nephew and Lucius considers me a brother."

Harry tried to push back. "That wont be a matter."

Severus' hand slid into his pants. "Oh I know you will want to wait a year or two. But surely boyfriends think ahead."

Harry's head went back as the man's hand grasped his cock and started stroking him. "You are not my boyfriend."

Severus led him out of the stall but into a hay room. "We wouldn't want to scare the horses."

Harry moaned against him. "I should be getting back. And stop changing subjects."

Severus took out his wand. "I will have to use this as I don't have any of my oils."

Harry found himself turned around and his pants and boxers sliding down. "We can't do this."

Severus nibbled on Harry's neck. "We can stop if you want. You can leave right now."

Harry groaned as he felt the man rub up against him, his cock hard. "No."

Severus lowered him over the hay bail. "I told you we would be exploring the manor."

Harry felt the tingle s the man used a spell for contraception and for lube. "Yes."

Severus drove into the fine young ass under him. He heard the boy gasp at the quick intrusion but there wasn't the pain. He had made sure there was a blanket between the hay and Harry to stop discomfort. He was still picturing taking the boy over his potions table but this would work for now. As he drove into the fine ass under him he had never been so happy to be invited to a wedding before. Remus was one of his closest friends and he intended the man as odd as it seemed to be, to be his father in law one day. He knew the lion was shocked by his words but he meant them. He would convince the boy this wasn't all about sex for him though he definitely was enjoying this side of it as well. As he came to a climax his hand under the boy felt Harry come to one as well with a smile. He pulled out, turning Harry around and cleaning them both off.

He smiled at the look on Harry. "Are you coming to my bed tonight?"

Harry reminded him. "I am staying here tonight. Besides you had your fun."

Severus drew him into his arms. "We both had fun lion."

Harry couldn't deny it. "Maybe you are a good lay but I want a date. Not sitting with my cousin at a wedding."

Severus whispered in his ear. "We can go announce our relationship right now."

Harry pulled away. "You wouldn't survive."

Severus dressed the boy and himself with his wand. "Oh I don't think that will be a problem."

Though fully dressed Harry once again found himself drawn into the man's arms for a long drawn out kiss. Severus lifted him off the ground so this time he was sitting on the bail of hay. Though since they were dressed the man didn't go below the belt, his mouth explored Harry's neck and earlobes. Harry was lost in it and he found himself exploring the man's neck himself. They were lost in the motion and didn't realized that someone else had come out into the barn. Severus had not used any privacy spells as he had thought everyone would be busy at the wedding.

They were pulled apart by a voice in the door. "What are you doing?"

AN: And yes a number of the order members were invited to the wedding. The war ended in the Ministry in fifth year (mentioned first chapter) so people like Emeline who were killed before the final battle, are alive and kicking. Sorry Fletcher, no one invited the thief to attend.

So who caught the two of them in the stables (there are so many options) and will Severus survive.
