~ To Love a Master ~ Chapter 16 Does That Inspire You? ~
For the next few weeks there was a lot of silence and Severus was intentionally staying extra hours in his office to keep away from Harry and the great temptations he had to touch him, to hold him, or to kiss his hand at the very least.
As he worked there was a knock on his door. 'Come in.'
Headmaster Dumbledore entered the potion master's office. 'May I have a moment of your time Severus?'
'Yes of course,' Severus replied offering the Headmaster a chair, which the old man took.
'You've been working a lot of over time lately.'
'I want everything to be perfect for the new school year,' Severus insisted.
'Severus, the rest of the schools' professors already stopped working over a week ago and are taking advantage of their vacation time.'
'I've been trying to keep my mind off of something. Work has been helping,' Severus explained.
'You need to go out and do something. Mr. Potter does need to make a trip to get school supplies,' Dumbledore suggested.
'Mr. Potter is who I'm avoiding,' Severus muttered, thinking it was inaudible to Dumbledore's ears.
Alas he was wrong. 'Maybe you should spend some more time with him instead of haunting your office.' The Headmaster stood from the chair and left the office.
Severus sighed. Maybe he's right. I would love to spend as much time as possible with harry, but lately the silence has just been deafening. Severus cleaned up his work on his desk and went to his chambers.
Harry was sitting at the desk writing a few letters.
'Harry.'
'Yes?'
'Would you like to take a trip to Diagon Alley tomorrow?'
Harry smiled. 'I'd love to.'
'Well, you need to get your new school supplies and I have a few things I need to pick up.'
'Okay. I can't wait.'
Harry went back to his letters where he added on to his letters to Ron and Hermione asking if they could meet him in Diagon Alley at the Leaky Cauldron, where he and Severus would floo to.
~
Harry was excited when he flooed into the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron.
One of the first things he saw was his two best friends running towards him.
Hermione gave him a large hug. 'It's so good to see you Harry.'
'Yah. We really missed you,' Ron said giving Harry a hug as well.
Severus soon flooed in shortly after Harry and was now standing behind him and his friends.
'Mr. Potter we do not have time for incessant conversation. We're only here to shop for necessary things,' Severus told him.
Harry frowned but followed Severus who was going to the entrance for Diagon Alley. Ron and Hermione followed them having whispered conversation with Harry.
They went to the bank and then to the shops so that Harry could buy his supplies. In Flourish and Blotts, Severus was looking at books, not facing the trio whom quickly got Harry's books, checked out, and left the shop as another group of people were entering.
Severus turned when the bell at the top of the entrance door chimed, but it was just someone entering the shop. He'd been a little afraid Weasley and Granger would try to sneak Harry away.
Ron and Hermione had though. 'There now the slimy git can't bother us,' Ron said.
'I feel so sorry for you that you're having to spend the summer with him,' Hermione said.
'It's not too bad,' Harry told them.
'Oh, I supposed he's really a nice guy when you get to know him, or something like that huh?' Hermione inquisited.
'Truth be told, yes he is,' Harry said. Harry felt a little ashamed for sneaking out under Severus nose like that, but he'd barely been out of the castle this summer break and he really wanted to see and hang out with his friends.
They all went back to the Leaky Cauldron where they got some food and drinks and took them up to a room. Harry really didn't know why they were going to someone room, but he followed Ron and Hermione anyway.
'Who's room is this?'
Ron knocked on the door. 'Who's there?' a voice form inside asked.
'It's me,' Ron said. 'Hermione and Harry are with me as well. We brought lunch.'
Whoever was in the room unlocked the door and then opened it. The mystery occupant turned out to be none other that Draco Malfoy.
They all went into the room, where they sat at a table in the room and had lunch. They talked about current events and also discussed with Harry the reason Draco was staying at the Leaky Cauldron.
'My father found out about Ron and me, as I figured he would,' Draco explained. 'I knew he'd found out before it was time to go home for the holidays, so I skipped out of Platform 9 ¾ without being seen by him and then came here to the Leaky Cauldron and got myself a room with what money I had on me. I wrote to Dumbledore explaining my situation and he's agreed to let me stay here in hiding with a full paid bill, and I'm to return to school when the new year starts.'
'I've flooed in every possible day to see him over the break so far,' Ron said.
'You've made my hiding much more bareable.'
Hermione sat and smiled looking at the two boys as they stared deeply into each other's eyes.
Harry couldn't help, but think of Severus at that moment. How he loved when he and Severus stared at each other like that. 'I'd nearly forgotten about Severus,' Harry muttered.
'What's that Harry?' Hermione inquired.
'Oh I was just thinking that Professor Snape is probably looking for me. It's been a few hours since we skipped out on him at the book shop,' Harry explained.
'What? You want to actually go back to that castle with that git, rather than spend time with your friends?' Ron asked.
'No, it's just that, well I snuck off by myself just roaming the school grounds one day and when Severus couldn't find me in his chambers, he alerted Dumbledore and the whole staff was worried and out looking for me,' Harry explained.
'Did you just call him by his first name?' Ron asked.
Harry hadn't realized it, but he had. 'Well, when you're living in the same chambers as someone it's a little formal to be calling each other by professor or mister,' Harry attempted to cover up.
Draco had been sitting idly quiet, and had raised an inquisitive eyebrow when Harry had called the potions master by his first name. Harry had noticed, and knew he'd probably end up being hounded by Draco for a private talk later, but for the moment ignored it.
Harry got up from the table. 'I'm going to go and find him. I'm probably already in enough trouble as it is and school hasn't even started yet.'
Harry went down stairs only to find Severus sitting at the table right near the foot of the stares glaring up at him with a very displeased look on his face. Despite wanting to turn tail and flee, Harry walked up to the table. 'I'm sorry. It's just that, I've been cooped up at Hogwarts the whole vacation. I needed some time with my friends.'
Severus' expression lightened and he sighed. 'Do you know how dangerous it is to walk around by yourself. I know you were with your friends, but they're not fully trained wizards yet. You never know what could happen,' Severus explained.
'I'm still really sorry. I suppose we'll be going now?'
'It's a little late and I'm exhausted after looking for you. I searched the whole alley again and again and when I came back here Tom said you'd come back with Ron and Hermione a few hours ago and had gone upstairs to visit one of the guests.'
'So then what are we going to do?'
'I've rented us a room for the night,' Severus told him. 'Now if you don't mind,' Severus said standing up. 'I'd like to make use of it.' Severus walked up the stairs and Harry followed. Severus unlocked the door of the room that was right next to Draco's. Harry followed Severus inside. The older man began taking off his robes. He undressed until he was wearing his white button up shirt that he always wore beneath his black robe, and his boxer shorts, and with that he climbed into one of the two beds in the room and crawled under the covers.
'Isn't it a bit early to go to sleep?'
'I'm not sleeping I'm resting until it's time to go to sleep, then I'll go to sleep,' Severus told him. 'Some of us are not as young and energetic as you are, Harry.'
'Is it alright if I go and see Ron and Hermione before they have to leave for the day?'
'You can do what you want, except you can't leave the Leaky Cauldron.'
With that Harry left the room and went next door. He knocked first to be polite.
'Who's there?' He heard Draco ask from inside.
'It's Harry.' Draco let him in. Harry noticed that Ron and Hermione were no longer there. 'Did Ron and Hermione have to go home.'
'Yah. They both promised their families they'd be home for supper,' Draco explained. 'Is there something I can do for you.'
'Nothing really. Sev's being boring and I didn't feel like sitting quietly in the room he rented for the night.'
'Sev, huh? So what exactly is your official relationship with Snape?'
Harry sighed. He knew Draco realized something was up earlier. Do I trust Draco, not to tell anyone? Not even Ron? 'I've got a secret I've been keeping from everyone,' Harry started.
'You're seeing Snape aren't you? He's the one you put on that dress for, for his birthday. I thought something was a little fishy then. He'd been being a little less rude to you in lessons, I'd seen you roaming the dungeons occasionally, and I knew his birthday was 8 May. I don't think anyone else in the school has that birthday. Not another man anyway.'
Harry looked away from Draco blushing. 'Was it all that obvious?'
'Not to the naked eye. I just happen to catch due to random encounters and logical thinking,' Draco said. Harry raised an eyebrow at the blond haired boy. 'I think hanging around Hermione's rubbed off on me a bit,' Draco said.
'Well, congratulations Draco, you're the first to officially know about Severus and me.'
'So, what. You're lovers. All I want to know is why you're not in your room shagging with him right now?'
Harry winced at the question.
'Did something happen between the two of you?'
'Yes,' Harry admitted. He told Draco about the rape incident and how it'd been hard for him to Have Severus touch him.
'It's understandable,' Draco said. 'Did you forgive him?'
'Of course.'
'You really love him then. If you can forgive acts of that sort, true love is definitely involved in your relationship. And if you love him so much, I think you should go to your room right now and let him know. If he loves you back, he's got to by dying inside from the pain of not being able to touch you,' Draco told him.
'Well what am I supposed to do, just walk up to him and tell him to touch me?'
'It's an idea.' . 'I was merely joking.'
Draco grabbed Harry's shoulders and began edging him towards the door. 'Well I'm sure you'll think of something on the way back to your room,' he said, opening the door and pushing Harry out of the room.
Harry sighed as he re-entered his and Severus' room. Severus was in his bed facing away from the door. Harry stripped of his clothes completely. He walked over to Severus' bed and got into the bed behind him, as if he was going to curl up behind him like he'd been doing for some time.
Severus sighed at this but then thought he was imagining things when he felt a leg swing over him to where he was being straddled. He turned over onto his back to where he was now looking up at Harry.
Harry leaned down and kissed him. Severus was in such shock and so happy all at once that he nearly cried, but didn't.
'Touch me,' Harry whispered.
'Are you sure,' Severus whispered back.
'Yes.'
'Please excuse me if I'm slightly out of practice,' Severus said. Harry chuckled and kissed him again. 'I could always use some inspiration.'
Harry's hand slid into the flap of Severus boxers, where he grabbed the man's penis and gave it a light jerk.
Severus gasped, throwing his head back.
'Does that inspire you?'

A/N: Tee hee hee, I decided not to add in the whole juicy scene cause I mean sex can get highly repetitive and even though I'm repetitive by nature (cause I grew up around my mother who repeats everything a million times) I didn't feel like being. Yes I know I ended extremely corny but oh well, that's me, I'm just a corny gal some of the time. Well, I gave in slightly and actually used the word penis.I couldn't help it though cause I was listening to the radio this morning (to anyone in the DFW, TX area 100.3 wild fm, The Fitz Radio Program in the morning...sorry but I'm a walking advertisement for the show) and they were talking about one of their managers leaving and said something about he'd told them not to do body part humour in the show and from nowhere Fitz (the DJ) just says 'penis'..I know it's kinda stupid but it made me laugh. Anyways, hope that chapter was worth a crap. Send me some reviews of what you think.. I really do love hearing what you think, you are all so great and I worship you.
Randomness of the Moraco: Moulin Rouge is a great movie.
