Randomness of the Moraco: I want a plushie of Sev! It's decided! Once I finish my elf dress I'm plotting a design for a Sev plushie!

~ To Love a Master ~ Chapter 8 Severus' Snitch ~

The holidays continued on. In public Harry and Severus pretnded to hate each other as usual, but they managed to sneak out of the public eye for a good snog or shag every day. Christmas was coming ever closer. Harry had wrapped and sent all of his presents, except for Severus'. He intedned to present it to him in person.

The day finally arrived. Harry awoke to a pile of presents at the foot of his bed. He quickly opened all of them and loved them all, seeing as they were all from good friends.

But there was nothing from Severus. Harry sighed. I should have figured he wouldn't give me anything. Well, anything material anyway. I'm sure he'll make up some present out of sex. Harry thought to himself.

Christmas day passed on and on. Later in the afternoon Harry grabbed the neatly wrapped present that he had purchased for Severus, and went to the corridor where Severus' chambers were. He stood in front of the portrait of the young girl. 'Hello,' he said to her.

She appeared to be sitting on the ground playing with a doll. She lookied up and at Harry and greeted him. 'Hello. Here to see Severus?'

'Yes,' Harry replied,' but I'm afraid I don't know the password to enter.'

'No problem,' she said. 'Severus had bed me to allow you entrance anytime you wish as long as he has no visitors,' she explained. 'Gon on in.' The portrait hole opened and Harry stepped into Severus' chambers.

Severus was sitting in a chair by the fireplace, which at this time did not contain any fire, reading a book. He looke dup when he heard the portrait open. 'Happy Christmas Harry,' he said.

Harry smiled and walked over to the chair where the older man sat. 'Happy Christmas Severus.' Harry handed him the package he'd been holding under his arm.

'What's this?'

'Your Christmas present.' Harry sat down on the edge of the coffee table in front of Severus in the chair.

'I accumulated that much knowledge, but seriously what is this? It's not going to explode in my face is it?' Severus raised a questioning eyebrow at Harry.

Harry chuckled. 'Of course not. Why would I ever want to damage someone I love so deeply?'

Severus removed the bow, and then tore into the paper. He then opned the box his present was sealed in. He pulled out a dark forest green cloak.

'In case you ever decide to add a little colour to your wardrobe,' Harry said.

'It's beautiful,' Severus said, running a hand over the velvety cloth.

Harry smiled. 'I'm glad you like it.'

Severus folded the cloak and placed it back in the box. He then got up from the chair and went to the mantle over the fire place.

'What are you doing?'

Severus pulled a small wrapped box out of the back of his clock. 'Well, I find it only fair that since you gave me my present tht I should give you yours.'

'You actually got me something?'

'Of course.' Severus sat back down in the chair he had previously occupied. Harry joined him strattling Severus' legs and sitting on his lap. Severus gave harry the box.

'They say the best things come in small packages,' Harry said. He unwrapped and opened the box to find a beautiful ring of a golden snitch. The wings wrapped around making the actual wing and the on the main part there was a 'H' made from rubies. Harry gasped at the first sight of it. He looked up at Severus and smiled. 'Thank you.' He threw his arms around Severus' neck and kissed him numerous times.

Severus chuckled and genuinely smiled. He took Harry's arms from around his neck, and he held Harry's left hand. Severus plucked the ring from the box and placed it on Harry's ring finger. 'I though you'd like it my little snitch.' More kissing commenced.

'Your little snitch?' Harry managed to ask between kisses.

'You're wicked fast and damn near impossible to catch when breaking rules,' Severus explained.

'I'm still a bit shcoked you got me something. I was half expecting a piece of parchment reading "coupon for a night of Severus love".' Harry chuckeld and continued kissing the man in front of him.

Severus unbottoned and unzipped Harry's trousers. 'You don't need a coupon for that,' Severus said as he reched in Harry's boxers and gently stroked Harry's arrousal.

Harry gasped at the touch and then smiled knowing what was to come.
