A/N: Well the title for this chapter is a little mixed and really doesn't fully relate to the story, but you see I was listening to 3 different songs over the time if writing this chapter, and as we know when I've got song inspiration on a chapter I name the chapter after it. Well here's the next chapter.

Randomness of the Moraco: Music is one of the greatest most powerful forces in the universe.

~ To Love a Master ~ Chapter 17 Bad Guy Lifestyle Secrets ~

The summer soon ended which meant Harry had to move out of Severus' chambers and back into the now seventh year boys dormitory.

Harry had come to a decision about his relationship with Severus. He had to let Ron and Hermione know. Draco knew and had promised Harry not to tell Ron or Hermione. Harry had decided he'd tell Ron first because Hermione's very clever and Harry thought she may have taken a guess and just needed confirmation about it.

Harry managed to get Ron in the dormitory alone a few weeks into the semester.

'Ron, I need to tell you something,' Harry said to Ron, who was sitting on his bed.

'What is it Harry?'

Harry went over to Ron's bed and sat down beside his friend. 'I don't want to keep my secret boyfriend a secret anymore. At least not from you and Hermione,' Harry explained.

'What about Draco? It'll be awfully hard to keep it a secret from him, since he did help you with that birthday present and all.'

'Draco already knows.'

'WHAT?! You mean you told Draco before you told me?! I thought I was your best friend, Harry, and why hasn't he told me?!'

'I didn't tell him, he figured it out. Yes you are my best friend, Ron, and Draco didn't tell you because I wanted to tell you myself,' Harry explained. 'I don't think you'd understand or believe it unless I'm the one to tell you.'

'Who is it then?'

'Severus,' Harry said looking at his feet.

'No way! That can't be true! You're joking, right?'

'No.' Harry looked up into Ron's eyes. 'It's the truth whether you choose to believe it or not.'

'I can't believe it,' Ron said. 'All those times you said you were with Snape, shagging him or something you weren't joking.' Ron gasped. 'You wore a dress for him birthday!'

'I know, Ron. I'll be okay if you don't want to talk to me for a while.' Harry turned away from his friend.

'No, Harry. I'm not okay with it yet, but if you're happy, I'm happy for you,' Ron told him.

Harry turned back to Ron with a big smile and gave him a hug, whihch Ron returned.

'Thank you, Ron,' Harry said. 'Now I just hae to figure out how I'm going to tell Hermione.

A few days later Harry and Ron had managed to get all the other, now seventh year Gryffindor boys out of their dormitory, while they snuck Hermione into for privacy. She protested at first, since it was against the rules, and she was not only a prefect but also the head girl. She finally agreed when she found out what they wanted to tell her.

'Now Hermione you have to promise me tht you're not going to freak out,' Harry said.

'It doesn't matter who it is Harry as long as you're happy,' she told him.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief. 'It's Severus.'

Hermione's eyes widened.

'Remember Hermione, we're happy for Harry,' Ron said.

'Harry, I'm happy that you have someone you love, but Professor Snape is a teacher. Do you have any idea how many rules the two of you are breaking?!'

Harry looked down at his feet. 'This is why I didn't tell you in the first place. I thought that at least now you would know how strongly I feel about him, that you wouldn't be so uptight about it,' Harry explained.

'C'mon Hermione. As long as they keep it out of the public eye, they'll be okay,' Ron told her.

I don't approve of it,' she said, 'but you're my friend Harry and because you're happy I won't say anything. I just hope you realize the consequences if you get caught.'

'Hermione, I already knew the risks when I got involved.' Harry looked up at her. 'Severus made sure I understood.

Hermione gave Harry a smile of encouragement.

It was now a weekend, Saturday, to be exact and Harry was spending the afternoon with Severus.

They were sitting on Severus' couch having one of their usual pre- shap snog sessions.

'Severus,' Harry said.

'Yes?' Severus continued lining Harry's neck with kisses.

'I just thought you ought to know, that we're not fully a secret anymore.'

Severus stopped and brought his head up to meet Harry's eyes with his own. 'Who knows?'

'Ron and Hermione, and Draco.'

'How do they know?' Severus asked with a twinge of anger in his voice.

'Draco figured it out. I told Ron and Hermione myself,' Harry explained.

'You know very well, the more people who know the bigger chance there is for us to be exposed.'

'Severus, they're my best friends. They won't tell a soul,' Harry told him.

'For both our sakes, I hope not, but I wish you would have consulted with me about it before you told them.'

'I'm sorry. I really should have said something to you first.'

'It's alright. I don't think they're the only ones who know anyway,' Severus said.

'Who else knows?'

'I have a feeling Albus either knows or suspects it,' Severus explained.

Harry lightly chuckled. 'I'm pretty sure he knows. I think he knows everything that happens in this school.'

'You're right,' Severus agreed. 'It's pretty tough to put one over on him.'

'I don't care who know as long as we can still be together,' Harry said hugging Severus tightly.

A/N: Okay, see the chapter had nothing to do with bad guys or any real type of lifestyles so to say, but the secrets was relevant. You see I started writing this listening to the Chamber of Secrets track off the COS soundtrack and then I finished it at school listening to the radio and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous by Good Charlotte, and Girl All the Bad Guys Want by Bowling for Soup. Anyways, hope that chapter was somewhat interesting. Drop me some reviews if you feel like it. I just really felt like I need an update right now cause I've had like lack of reviews, so I could use some maybe for a slight ego boost (yah I have a big ego, uh huh, sure).
