Molly Weasley hummed to herself as she prepared the ingredients for the potion she had told Ginny about, it was a sunny morning and the room she used for brewing filtered the sunlight quite well, through the small window.
It wasn't a complicated potion to make, and she had made it before today. It was after all how she had managed to land Arthur.
When they were courting another witch had her eye set on the redheaded Wizard, Molly wasn't about to let some other floozy steal what was hers.
After some digging round and a few questions aimed at the right people, she was given the recipe that would guarantee Arthur Weasley would be hers. He was an honest and gentle man always striving to do the right thing.
It couldn't have been easier if she tried, so taking the potion and slipping a lust potion in his tea, Molly worked her magic and a couple months later told Arthur that she was pregnant, knowing he would do the right thing he married her 3 months later.
Molly's parents died a month after they were married; she pretended to suffer a miscarriage brought by the grief of losing her family.
Arthur stuck by Molly supporting her through the loss, commending her on her strength to get on with her life all the while trying for a family.
The rest is history as the say. Ginerva was ensured her future in the same way if it came down to it. Like mother like daughter she thought.
Kingsley Shacklebolt was in the far corner besides a wooden cupboard watching carefully as Molly chopped this and sliced that.
He was waiting for the right moment to cast the charm over the cauldron, making certain that her disgrace of a daughter wouldn't be able to pull of pretending to be pregnant.
A noise in the kitchen had Molly leaving the room for a few moments.
When she'd gone from sight Kingsley went over to the cauldron, muttered a few words and waved his wand, the mixture turned to a pale mauve for a few seconds then back to its original colour, the Weasley Matriarch would be none the wiser.
Slipping out of the room and out the back door, Kingsley went to the edge of the wards and vanished in a whirl.
Molly Weasley came back into the room and continued her brewing, humming merrily, thinking of names for the baby as she went.
Later that day she planned to go into the city and pay a visit to the hospital, an elderly neighbour was in there at the minute, perfect excuse to suss out who would be ready to have a baby in the next nine months.
Harry paled considerably as Kingsley explained what had been going on with his counterpart in the city. When he had left Molly's the Minister thought it best to come to Hogwarts and tell Harry in person what had been going on. He knew the young man would take it badly, but he hadn't expected the defence Professor to near pass out from the news. Luckily he had chosen to tell him in Severus' office so at least he had some support.
'Why would someone do that?' Harry asked in disbelief 'Steal a child to get money and attention'
'They are very disturbed women Harry, who will do anything to get what they want' Kingsley said sombrely
'Disturbed isn't the word for those harpies' Severus sneered 'Merlin help them when all this comes to light'
'If you want this to be over sooner rather than later Harry tell me now and I will make something happen' Kingsley gave him the choice
Harry was silent for several moments he got up from the chair he was sitting in and walked over to the large window looking out over the grounds of Hogwarts, the sun was shining and he could see the tops of the trees swaying with in the gentle breeze.
He turned slightly and looked at the man sitting behind his desk, face etched in concern, a blush threatening to creep over his pale cheeks at being caught looking at Harry.
'Can you make something happen by Halloween?' Harry asked quietly
'Yes I can, we usually hold the awards ceremony for Auror of the year and the like after Halloween I will just move it closer, hold a dance of sorts here, if that's alright with you Severus?' Kingsley offered
'The sooner the better' Severus replied, steeling a glance at Harry
'Good, I will get the ball rolling, I will let the other Harry know, and go from there' Kingsley said to the pair
When the Minister was gone, Harry remained standing at the window lost in his thoughts. A clearing of a throat behind him, brought the Professor back to the present, he walked back over to the desk and sat down again.
'I have some news for you' Harry countered
'Good news I hope?' Severus smiled
'I have decided to accept your web enticing courtship' Harry smiled shyly
Severus beamed, his heart banged in chest Merlin above he was finally going to get his man.
'You have no idea how happy you have made me Harry' Severus said with reverence
'I think I have a tiny clue' Harry chuckled
'May I hug you?' Severus asked
Harry stood from his chair and walked around the headmaster's side of the desk, took Severus' hand in his and helped the man rise from his seat.
'You may headmaster' Harry whispered letting the man embrace him
They stood arms around each other, neither wanting to be the first to let go or pull back, unfortunately a knock on the door decided for them. Severus reluctantly dropped his hands and sat back down at his desk.
'I better go' Harry said quietly 'I will see you at dinner'
He walked towards the door and turned before he opened it, Severus pressed his fingers to his lips then placed them over his heart. He mouthed the words I love you and Harry shivered.
It was going to be a short courtship if the man kept doing those sorts of things, Harry thought as he greeted Professor McGonagall on the other side of the door. Either that or he would die from his heart trying to leap out his chest.
Ginerva was playing in England and Harry had reluctantly agreed to come and watch her. It was getting increasingly more difficult to be around the awful excuse of a woman, he hadn't gone near her in over 4 days, despite her best efforts to coax him into their bed. He knew it wouldn't last long, but for the moment he was enjoying the reprieve.
Kingsley had called him into the office before he left work that evening, he'd been to Scotland to see his counterpart and the man had decided to move up the Grande finale as it were.
He wanted it to be over and after hearing what the Minister had to say; his clone was inclined to agree, so instead of waiting close to three months, he only had a month before everything came out in the open.
There was to be dance on Halloween night at Hogwarts, Harry would be presented with an award for Auror of the year, that would be when the real Harry Potter was make his guest appearance and when he was sure Ginerva would announce she was pregnant.
He told the clone about the alterations he had made to the potion, it was all Harry could do not to break down in hysterics and what the potion would now do.
Personally the day couldn't get here soon enough that was something he definitely wanted to see. After that piece of glorious news Harry was more than happy to attend his wife's game.
Sitting in the stands he paid little attention to the game and more to handsome looking blokes that were wandering around, he felt his dick hardened after watching one particular man saunter past him, what he wouldn't give to sink his teeth and others things into that delicious morsel.
Maybe would talk to Harry see if he wouldn't allow him to stick around become permanent, as someone else of course.
The crowd whooped and cheered as Ginny's team scored a goal, the announcer said something about the superb skill of Chaser Ginerva Potter, wife of the famous Harry Potter slayer of the Dark Lord and so on and so forth.
Live it up while you can little lady, because in a month's time the only thing you will be enjoying is the inside of a prison cell Harry thought with delight
That night when they got home after the game, Harry told his wife about the upcoming dance and awards ceremony at Hogwarts, he told her to go and put on that black lace teddy the one that drove him wild.
He was stilling feeling the effects of seeing Mr Delicious at the Quidditch game and thought why not, he had the mans face ingrained on his mind.
In the bathroom, Ginny downed the potion her mother had left for her, she cast charms to be on the safe side and put on the lingerie her husband loved her in.
When she walked back out into their bedroom, Harry was lying on the bed, stark naked stroking his prick languidly, while looking at his wife with a feral grin on her face.
'Want a taste of this Chaser Potter?' Harry purred, tugging his rigid penis
'Yes please' Ginny grinned, licking her lips and crawling onto the bed like the wanton whore she was.
'Oh fuck yes' he moaned as she sucked his cock, taking a fist full of her hair he imagined it was the hunk from the game between his legs feasting on his member.
The defence Professor sat at the staff table that night, next to Headmaster Snape, he exchanged a quick glance with the man in charge and pulled his plate towards him, piling it with food.
About halfway through his roast beef, Harry felt a hand moving up and down his thigh, massaging it slowly. Stopping his fork from clattering to the floor just in time Harry leaned over and whispered in Severus' ear
'I have a problem headmaster?' Harry said in a low tone
'What's that Professor Weston?' Severus husked
'A wandering hand seems to have made its way onto my leg Sir' Harry replied
'I will deal with the transgression immediately' Severus assured him
'Thank you headmaster' Harry nodded
Severus moved the errant hand and brushed it against the edge of Harry's arse, before placing it on the table once more.
'You are a wicked man Severus Snape' Harry said darkly
'You haven't see anything yet my beloved' Severus said in that silky tone
Yep shortest courtship in history Harry mused going back to his dinner
'Are you laughing at me?' Harry asked a giggling Hermione
'No of course not' Hermione replied trying to suppress the grin
'I don't see what's so amusing I am getting wrist strain' Harry huffed
In the last week Severus had taken this courtship thing to a whole new level, Harry wasn't sure he would survive, the fleeting touches and the loaded looks he was giving him were enough to reduce Harry to a boneless mess. More than once he'd had to make a mad dash for his private rooms to attend to problems of a personal nature after one of the headmaster's advances.
Not knowing what to do he had called Hermione in for some much needed advice, although he was starting to wonder if it was a mistake, she didn't seem to be taking it all that seriously. He wasn't asking for Draco or Seamus' advice, he didn't want to hear the shrill noises emitting from the blonde potions Professor.
'Please Harry I don't need to know everything' Hermione said adopting a more serious tone
'What am I going to do?' Harry whined slightly
'For someone who has defeated a Dark Wizard and is among one of the youngest Professors to teach the dark arts you can be really thick' Hermione pointed out 'How do you feel about Severus?'
'I love him Mione' Harry said quietly
'That's your answer then, you don't need to be courted Harry you need to tell the man you love him and start your lives together, now you have a free period, go and snag yourself a headmaster' Hermione commanded
Harry shot up out of his seat and kissed Hermione quickly on the cheek on his way out the door. It really was that simple 'Thanks Mione' he called over his shoulder, walking hurriedly to the office.
'Harry this is a surprise' Severus smiled, when Harry came into his office
'Severus I need to talk to you' Harry said a bit out of breath
'Of course' Severus replied
'I want to put a stop to this courting business' he countered
'I see' Severus said his heart sinking 'I understand'
'No I don't think you do' Harry said moving over to the now frowning headmaster 'You have enticed me into your web, I 'm caught'
Relief washed over the pale skin and a smile broke out 'You are?' Severus muttered
'Well and truly, I love you Sev and I have for a long time' Harry said his eyes bright
Severus sat down heavily on his chair, Harry moved in between his legs, looking deep into obsidian orbs, and smiled warmly.
'You're my forever' he whispered and leant down, pressing his lips to Severus' kissing him gently, languidly cupping his face.
When air was needed they broke the kiss, still staring into each other's eyes, Severus ran the pad of his thumbs over the red and swollen lips, lingering while Harry kissed each one.
'I love you so much my beloved Harry' Severus said softly
'I love you my darling Severus' Harry grinned 'I'm sorry it took so long to tell you'
'None of that matters, we are together now' Severus replied, he pulled Harry down and kissed him again, this time he depended it, Harry parted his lips to allow the man entrance, he explored the warm cavern with his tongue, before running it over Harry's the younger man moaning as the kiss became passionate, hungry. Severus pulled him closer, running his hands over Harry's back before settling them on his hips.
Breaking it again so they could take a few breaths, each as flushed as the other, Severus looked at the clock and noted that Harry had a class to teach in 20 minutes. He wanted nothing more than to keep kissing and exploring his beloved, but duty called.
'You have a class very soon my love' Severus informed Harry
'Class what class?' Harry asked
'The one you're paid to teach' Severus laughed
'Oh that one' Harry answered 'I'm having such a good time here though'
'So am I, but you have to go' Severus said grimly 'you can come back tonight and we can pick up where we left off'
'Mmm like the sound of that' Harry mumbled, kissing the corner of the headmaster's mouth
Reluctantly he pulled away from Severus and noted that the man had a bulge in his trousers, Harry smirked and fixed himself up. 'Sorry about that' he said
Severus looked down and blushed slightly, before looking back at Harry with a hungry look. 'When you come back tonight' he whispered in that silky tone 'I will introduce you to my wand'
'I've already seen your wand' Harry teased
'Not the one I'm talking about you haven't' Severus purred
'Well I look forward to getting acquainted with your um wand' Harry stammered licking his lips he gave Severus a chaste kiss on the cheek and darted from the office.
