A/N: Back again as usual. Wow, three chapters posted in less than 24hours
for a not yet finished story of mine.that's a record.. I've made a big
decision about this story. Not it's not a drastic plot changing decision
or anything, but instead of ending tragically I think it's just going to
end sadly, because as I've been writing this I want there to be a happy
ending to it all (like reviewer Red Dragons Order would like to see), so
I've made a promise to myself that there will be a sequel, but that may
take some time so hopefully I'll pick up some of you lovely readers to join
me on this writing journey of mine.

~ To Love a Master ~ Chapter 3 The Next Lesson ~
The next day in potions lessons, Harry was having a very hard time paying attention. He was curious if this simple situation was having anywhere near the same effect on the potions master.
Professor Snape acted his usual self, favouring the Slytherins and trying to find any of the slightest reasons to take points away from Gryffindor.
The class was nearly over and all the students were cleaning up. 'Are you okay, Harry?' Hermione asked.
'I'm fine,' he replied. 'Why do you ask?'
'You've been looking pretty dazed through the whole lesson,' she explained.
'I've just been doing some thinking.'
'You should save your thinking until after class, Harry. You know if Snape had caught you staring off into space today he would have taken points from Gryffindor,' she said.
'Well, thanks for elbowing me every time he looked our way,' Harry said.
Everyone finished cleaning up and were back at their seats. 'Class dismissed,' Professor Snape announced. Everyone grabbed their things and began making their way for the door. 'Except you, Potter.'
Harry stopped in his tracks and returned to his seat. Professor Snape sat at his desk grading some papers. Everyone had left the room and Harry and the potions master sat in silence.
'Professor,' Harry finally spoke up
'Yes, Potter?'
'Why am I being kept after class?'
'Because we need to have a little chat.' Severus put down his quill and rose from the desk. He walked over to the table and stood in front of Harry. 'It's quite essential to your grade to pay attention in this class.'
'I know, Sir, and I was-'
'Don't lie Potter. You were staring off into space the entire class,' Snape explained. 'Normally for such a thing, I'd take points from your house, but I had a feeling that doing so might have been a bit unfair if I've presumed correctly what you were dazing off about.'
'Since when did it matter to you what was fair?'
'I'm sorry for what happened the other night,' he said. 'I didn't tell the Headmaster what happened, and since I haven't heard anything about it 'd assume that you haven't told him either.'
Harry shook his head. For the first time he thought that if he'd told Dumledore, that Snape could easily be fired. Despite Harry's dislike for Snape he decided that even though it could get Snape fired, in his current state of mind, he didn't want Snape to be. There was now something there that made Harry not despise the older man so much. Maybe it was the fact that he was being so nice and appologetic about it. Or maybe it was that Harry had enjoyed himself and was yearning for more from the potions master.
'Professor,' Harry said. 'Do you- Or rather would you be opposed to- ' he stuttered out.
'What? Come now. Out with it, Potter,' he demanded.
'I liked what we did the other night,' Harry simply said, his face going a deep scarlet colour.
'Whether you liked it or not is beside the point. It should never have-' Severus paused. 'Did you say you liked it?'
Harry sheepishly nodded.
'And I thought that I was a slimy disgusting git and that you hated me,' Severus simply remarked.
'You're not Severus,' Harry said. 'I don't hate you, but you do a lot of things that make me a big angry and you're neither slimy or disgusting. The git comment I stand by though.' Harry looked up into Severus' eyes. The man wore a smirk and was actually chuckling.
Harry spoke again, 'I know I'm being a bit forward, and that it's against the rules, but-'
'Why would you think about such a thing?'
'I need you,' Harry said. 'I understand though. We were just under the influence of a potion, but I have this feeling, this yearning, this need.'
'Need?' Severus raised an eyebrow curiously.
Harry stood up from his chair and turned away from Severus. "The need for someone to love and care about me. The need to be held in anothers arms with such care that makes me never want to wake up in the morning. The need and yearning for sexual interaction,' Harry listed out loud.
'And you think you've found what you need with me?'
'Yes,' he simply said, and turned back to face Severus. 'You feel it too don't you?' Harry walked up to the other man and placed his hand upon Severus' cheek.
Severus' facial expression turned to one of rage. 'What an absurd presumption.' He slapped Harry's hand away. 'Leave this classroom now!'
'You're just saying that because it's against the rules for a student and teacher to fraternize in any romantic matter. I know you feel the same,' Harry retorted.
'It is against school rules, yes and I'm quite happy the events of the other night were not reported to the Headmaster, but this. Sexual fraternization of both our own free wills is strictly forbidden. I could loose my job and you could be expelled,' Severus explained.
'You do feel the same,' Harry said.
'How I feel is beside the point.'
'No it's not!' Harry grabbed both sides of Severu's face and pulled him into a kiss, which continued until the both mutually broke it for the need of oxygen. 'Don't deny yourself of this because of silly rules. We can keep it a secret. Nobody has to know.'
'Secrets are a difficult thing to be kept here at Hogwarts,' Severus said.
'Then we can be completely open with it and tell everybody and they'll all think it's a big joke,' Harry jokingly suggested.
Severus pulled Harry into another kiss which led to places you will find out about later on.

A/N: ooo another chapter down. Thanks again to all whom have reviewed and if you haven't reviewed as of yet please feel free to do so. I really love to hear what people think (as long as it's good, though if it's bad I appreciate creative criticism, but please don't write something about it sucking or being stupid cause then, I don't know quite what will happen but I'm evil and on certain occasions vengeful).. The next chapter will come along the next chance I get to typing so yeh for that.
