re-A/N: CRACKERS! For those of you whom have already read through this chapter at least try and read the first of it again, cause when ffn finally posted it they screwed it up and part of my story ran into the A/Ns. sorry but I didn't take a look and realize until after I came home from work
~
A/N: Yello yello, I'm back again, and this time very much awake. Don't have a lot to say here at the beginning so here's some review replies to you lovely people who let me know what you think.
blackunicorn: To answer your question you're just going to have to read becuase the relationship is fully revealed to Sirius in this chapter but I'm not going to say how.
ravenclawrulez: Thank you. That one phrase there pretty much sums up about all I can think to say.
Minerva-Severus-Dumbledor: I'm sure it can get interesting, though I don't know YOUR definition of interesting, so read along and tell me if it sparks your interest of interesting.
frizzy: Oh there will be a bit of what you've suggested. Just read along.
Katy999: Yes I agree that this will be funny. Yah, well I think Dumbledore would have had to been possessed or something like that to have done something about it all.
tabbes : thanks for your comments on the story. GRAH, my url didn't show up......hmmm oh well, if anyone's interested in see those pictures you can go into my profile click on my webpage link and go through the art to the fan art to the harry potter fan art.
Cloudburst2000: I figured cause usually that's what I say when I'm enjoying a fic and all. Did I actually say lye somewhere in this story? I'm sooo sorry, I've been typing up and writting these chapters and odd random hours and I'm using a different program to type them up in than what I used when I originally started and it doesn't have automatic spell check and sometimes, I don't get teh chance to re-read over them.
Ron: awe, thank you for the appreciation. I try to update as often as possible, on this story at least. I have another story I haven't finished yet though that hasn't been updated in weeks, but I'm in a big block about it so I'm working over my block by writting this story and I tend to get more ideas for this one some how.
Randomness of the Moraco: *cries* I'm out of apple juice.

To Love a Master

Chapter 24
Kneaded Rubber
~
Harry entered Severus' chambers and went into the bedroom where he saw his lover sleeping contently. He crawled up into the bed next to him. He grabbed one of Severus arms and put it around his waist and then snuggled close to Severus and gave him a kiss.
Severus's eyes slowly fluttered open to see Harry next to him. 'What are you doing down here Harry?'
'I needed to talk to you. I'm sorry it's so late,' Harry told him.
Severus sighed. 'It's alright. What did you want to talk to me about? Did you have a bad dream or something?' Severus kissed Harry's forehead.
'No,' Harry replied. 'It's about Sirius. He asked a little bit about my ring today. He didn't dig too far deep into it, but if he had, I don't know how I would have explained.'
'You want to tell him don't you?'
Harry nodded. 'I want to tell him and come clean with him about it, but I'm scared. I don't know how he'll react.'
Severus sighed again. 'As much as I know about your godfather I reckon he won't react too well to it. I don't want to come between your relationship with your godfather Harry. I know how much you care about him.'
'Severus, I don't want him to come between us. I know you're not fond of him and he's not fond of you, but for our sake, I'm hoping you two might find some way of working it out. Sirius is the closest thing I've got to family, but I'm in love with you. If Sirius doesn't approve I'm not going to stop loving you. He's always said he wants me to be happy. If he can't accept that I'm happy with you, then he doesn't truely care enough about me to be considered family,' Harry explained.
Severus pulled Harry into a tight embrace. When he relaxed a bit he discovered Harry had fallen asleep and later dozed off himself with the man he loved in his arms

Sirius waited outside the portrait hole in his animagus form until some odd hours later around 4:30AM the portrait opened. He didn't see Harry, but he could smell him, which meant he had on his invisiblity cloak. Sirius was hiding behind a statue so as not to be seen. When he was sure Harry was far enough away not to notice he changed back into his human form and stared at the portrait to the potion master's rooms.
He continued to wait for a few hours. After a while he started to get hungry. He looked at his watch to realize that it was past breakfast time. At last the portrait began to open once again.
It was Severus who came out this time and as soon as he stepped on the stone floor of the hallway he was grabbed him by the front of his robes and slammed up against a wall by none other than one of his old school nemesies, Sirius Black.
'Good morning. How are you doing this morning Snape?' Sirius asked rather sarcastically.
'Fine until I left my room.'
'Sleep well.'
'Yes,' Snape replied. 'I don't see your point though.'
Sirius pulled him a small ways away from the wall and then slammed him back into it. 'I have a question for you. Now what would my godson Harry, be doing sneaking around the school in the middle of the night coming down here to see a greasy slimy git like you?'
'I'm late for a class Mr. Black. Please unhand me before I report you to Dumbledore for assault on a Professor,' Severus sneered.
Sirius pushed him up against the wall again one last time and let go of the front of his robes. Severus glared and him and began walking down the corridor. Sirius watched him as he went. 'I'll see you again soon Snape,' he yelled after him. Sirius then punched the wall from frustration, which in turn caused him some pain and a lovely bruise on his knuckles.

After classes Harry went to see Sirius for tea like he did every day. Sirius had it all set up when Harry knocked on the door. Sirius of course invited him in and they sat down at the table for tea.
'Harry, there's something I want to ask you,' Sirius said.
'What is it Sirius?'
'Well, Harry you're graduating soon. Do you have any plans of what you're going to do?'
'I'm going to be staying at Hogwarts through the summer at least. Dumbledore thinks it wise and asked me to if I wouldn't mind,' Harryy explained. 'After that I really don't know.'
'Do you have a girlfriend or a sweetheart you intend on telling me about and marrying after graduation? You did say that ring of yours was from someone you love,' Sirius questioned some more.
'Well, Sirius, I don't exactly think of girls in that way.'
'Oh,' Sirius replied. He looked to see that Harry was looking away blushing with a distressed look on his face. 'What's wrong Harry?'
'I just admitted to you for the first time that I'm gay and you say "oh".'
'It's nothing to worry about. Just one more thing we've got in common,' Sirius replied.
'Sirius, you're-?'
'I'm bi-sexual actually. I'm a little more parcial to the men though.'
Harry relased a sigh of relief.
'Who is it then?'
'I- I don't exactly know how to tell you,' Harry admitted.
'Harry, I'm your godfather. No matter who it is, I'll always love you,' Sirius said. Shit! It's Snape isn't it?! Shit Shit Shit!!! Sirius thought.
'It's uh....his name's...' Harry was breathing very deeply it was obvious from his facial expression that he was scared.
'Is it a schoolmate of yours or something?'
'He was actually a schoolmate of yours,' Harry blurted out.
Sirius sighed and cast his eyes downward. 'So it is Snape then?'
Harry gasped and then looked up at his godfather with wide eyes. 'How do you-?'
'I was out for a walk last night. I caught your scent and followed it until you took your cloak off in front of the portrait to his chambers,' Sirius explained. 'I don't know what you see in him Harry. He's a slimy greasy git. You don't know him like I do. When he came to Hogwarts he must have known every curse and illegal potion that existed to wizards. He was bad news then, Harry, and he still is. He might not have been sent to Azkaban becuase he was a spy for the ministry supposidly, but when he joined the death eaters he wasn't.'
'I know about his past Sirius, I don't need you telling it to me when you don't understand it. You say I don't know him like you do. How would you know? I'd beg to differ really. I think I know a little more about him than you might. I'm sure you never tried to get close enough to him to see the real Severus. You never went to bed with him. You've never cracked his emotional barriers that he holds up so securely to find out the real truths instead of the rumours. You don't know anything about him Sirius!' With this Harry bolted from Sirius room to Gryffindor Tower where he grabbed his photo album from underneath his pillow and began looking through it, which always seemed to calm his nerves.
'Me and my big mouth,' Sirius muttered.

A/N: Sorry for the shortness, but that's all I can think of right now. I might try to do a little more tonight after I get home from work but I really don't know. Oh and for any Harry/Sev fan who hasn't already read it, while you're waiting for me to update try reading The Paradox of Existence by DragonLight. That's one of my current faves. I actually read over one of the chapters twice I loved it so much. Well, drop me a few reviews if you can. I was astounded by the amount of reviews I had already gotten from the last chapter. They call came in a lot quicker than usual it seems.
