Chapter Nine: Back to Classes, Work and War
Monday morning did come though, and it found Harry glad that he'd done his homework before dinner on Friday, and busily rushing around the rooms getting his things together for classes. His first class of the day was Potions, so on the way up to the Great Hall, Severus and Harry stopped to drop off Harry's things. They walked into the hall together, both smiling and trying not to look like they'd spent all weekend in bed with one another.
The hall was still somewhat empty, so when Harry sat down between Remus and Severus no one noticed when 'Snuffles' tried to attack Severus and check that Harry was alive and breathing after not seeing him all weekend. Remus smiled at them both and said, "Have a good weekend?"
Harry blushed bright red and Severus answered for both of them, "Of course we did Remus."
Harry and Severus had discovered on Sunday that they could talk telepathically to one another and Severus mentally added on so that Harry would hear, 'Didn't we, mon amour?'
Harry decided he wasn't going to be the only one blushing and walking around half-hard and cheekily responded, 'Yes you rather did enjoy all those times I was kneeling in front of you and taking your beautiful cock in my mouth, didn't you Caro?'
That seemed to do the trick because Severus who had been taking a sip of tea, spat it out all over the table and blushed a shade of crimson to rival any Weasley's hair. Remus chuckled and said, "Do I want to know what that was Harry?"
Harry grinned at him and said, "I was simply reminding him of one of his favorite..."
Severus interrupted with, "Harry! I think that's enough Mon amour, Remus doesn't need to hear about that. Neither does your godfather need to be in the same building when you're talking about that."
Harry just smiled and put his hand on Severus's and said, "You asked for it, Caro."
Remus blinked at the sudden onslaught of pet names and turned back to his breakfast. Severus only got four howlers that morning, all of which he threw over his shoulder to let them explode on their own. Harry opened up the Daily Prophet and read it, which was full of reports of attacks over Europe. Harry frowned and mentally asked Severus, 'Caro? Why didn't he call you to these attacks? My scar hasn't hurt once this weekend either.'
Severus silently looked over his shoulder at the paper and frowned himself and answered unthinkingly out loud, "I don't know but no good can come from my not being summoned for those attacks and your scar not hurting on top of that. We'll have to talk to Albus about it."
Remus looked over and said, "What are you two reading?"
Harry passed him the paper and said, "See for yourself. What doesn't make sense to me is why he didn't summon Severus and why my scar hasn't bothered me a bit all weekend."
Remus frowned and said, "Well, I don't know what to make out of that either but that can't be good. You'll both be careful of course?"
Harry chuckled, "Of course we will."
Breakfast was soon over and Harry and Severus made their way back to the Dungeons for class, Harry taking a seat and getting supplies out while Severus went to the board and started out on notes. Hermione, Ron, Seamus, Dean and Neville sat down and filled Harry in on what he missed that weekend before class started. Harry grinned at Ron and reminded him, "You know, Quidditch try outs are coming up soon..."
They managed to get through the day without incident. Harry found out from a rather blushing Neville that he and Ginny had gotten together since the ceremony on Friday. Harry merely smiled and congratulated him. Throughout the day Harry had talked to the entire Quidditch team and organized a practice and try out session for Tuesday night.
Harry decided since he was captain this year he was making a reserve team to be trained under this year's team for next year, as he was loosing every other player that had been on the team since his first year. This year he only needed to find a replacement Keeper, but next year the Keeper and himself as the seeker were the only people that would still be there, and he would have to find an entirely new team to train for the season.
That night at dinner was the next time Harry saw Severus, and they both sat calmly through dinner communicating telepathically with one another through the meal. Severus had talked to Albus for them both, and was telling Harry about his conversation with Draco Malfoy that had led to Draco agreeing to spy for them under the condition that when they defeated Voldemort both Harry and Albus would stand up and recognize him as a spy for the light side. Severus had readily agreed for Harry, who had no problem at all with it, and Albus had insisted that he would stand up for Draco regardless.
That night they spent most of the night just cuddling in bed while Harry did as much of his homework as possible and Severus corrected homework from his classes. The next day went by just as Monday had, only Harry went off to over see Quidditch practice and try outs while Severus went to finish correcting.
Try outs went by Quickly, Harry assigned Ginny as the new Keeper, while making Seamus and Ron the reserve beaters. The reserve chasers were two third years, Athena Anders and Tristan Kronzek along with a second year, Meredith Alcott. The reserve keeper was another second year, Maitias Tiernan and the reserve seeker a third year with surprising talent for it that almost matched Harry's own, Aubrey Keifer.
Harry rounded up both teams and gave them a pep talk that put Oliver Wood himself to shame, "If there's one thing I learned from Oliver Wood it was that practicing is good but there's never been enough of it! For those of you on the team when Oliver was, you may remember that last year of practices? Be prepared for a repeat. We will train in the rain, the hail and the thunder. We will train during the wind, the sun and the heat. The only time after tonight that I could arrange for practice is at six in the morning, now don't look like that! We'll train four days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings. Anyone not at one of the practices had best have an excuse from the Headmaster, Professor McGonagall, myself or Madam Pomfrey, because if you miss a practice you're off the team. I realize that this means that you won't have any weekend practices but let's get real, if you don't rest you'll likely lose every match we play! Now any questions?"
The reserve seeker, Aubrey Keifer asked cautiously, "If we're only training at the break of dawn, when we're exhausted how will that help us?"
Harry grinned, "You'll play twice as well when you're wide awake though won't you?"
Slowly the rest of the team started to see the logic in that and everyone agreed it was a good idea. Harry smiled and said to the team, "Now, the first game is in three weeks against Slytherin, like always. Regardless of the new situation with my husband we will NOT let those bastards beat us. You will play out there, and unlike the past games against Slytherin, you will play back just as dirty as they throw at us. Fred, George, I want you reckless with those Bludgers, with no regard for any member of their teams safety. Everyone else, stay the hell out of their way. Angelina, Alicia, Katie, I want us up by at least a hundred points when I catch that snitch. Ginny I know this is your first game and it's against Slytherin, but I don't want ONE GOAL to be made by Slytherin if at all possible. And of course I'll catch the snitch as soon as possible. That's enough for tonight, and congratulations to the new players!"
Harry went back to his and Severus's room to shower, walking right past Severus who was engrossed in finishing up the last of his grading. Luckily Harry didn't have any of his own work to do and after the shower simply changed into a clean pair of boxers and walked back out into the study were Severus was to coax him to come to bed early. Harry walked out into the room and said, "Sev? Caro are you in there?"
He walked right into what was apparently a meeting between Severus, Draco Malfoy and Albus. Harry blushed bright red, squeaked and ran back into the bedroom. Albus just chuckled and Severus mentally chided Harry, 'Eager for bed tonight, mon amour?'
Harry grinned and responded, 'I was planning on giving you the blow job of your life when I walked out there, not walking in on a conference between you, Draco and my great-grandfather!'
Harry grabbed a shirt and a pair of jeans, throwing them on before walking back out to a VERY flushed Severus, an incredibly amused Albus and a slightly pink Draco. Harry smiled and sat down next to Severus before saying, "Hello Draco, Headmaster."
After that night Harry quickly learned to mentally check for Severus before walking into a room, and within a month they had both settled into a normal routine between Quidditch, homework, both of them sharing the work load with the potions making for Madam Pomfrey and adjusting to being married and bonded to one another. Harry had a bit of a struggle fitting in time for Ron, Hermione and the rest of his friends in Gryffindor but managed eventually.
After all of his hard work with the Gryffindors, they beat Slytherin 450 points to 175 points. Harry dealt with a very gloomy Severus for a week after the match. Professor McGonagall had been so happy with the team she forgot to take off points when she found half the Slytherin team trying to raid the kitchens one night. Albus and Minerva held a private bonding ceremony with just Severus, Harry, Remus, Sirius and Arthur Weasley, at their ceremony Remus and Sirius also had a small bonding ceremony.
Things were going too well, Harry's scar had been itching, slightly burning for an entire week. Severus hadn't been summoned since before school started, Draco wasn't being told much of anything useful when he was summoned. Draco had however been ordered to find out just how close Severus and Harry had become, and both willingly helped him decide what to tell Voldemort.
On the Thursday morning before Halloween, which was on a Friday that year, Harry and Severus sat down to breakfast just like they would have any other day. Everything went normally, Remus exchanging good mornings with the couple and they ate breakfast discussing everything from Quidditch to the War outside of Hogwarts. Then the mail came in, with a large black falcon landing in front of Harry with a plain envelope that simply read 'Mr. Harry Dumbledore-Evans-Potter-Snape'.
