The Fire Tells All

Chapter four

R

I'm going to come close (very) to writing an actual sex scene in this chapter, but I'm not, so you'll just have to use your imagination. Also, from this chapter on, there will be Mpreg, and I really need encouragement, so please encourage, because I'm a little insecure. R rating is for this and later chapters.

I'm updating now instead of the weekend, because I have an hour. yay! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It had been four weeks and a day since they had set a date for the wedding ceremony. Harry had found out that there was no "official" bonding, just the first time they slept together as Soul Mates. Which they already did. So they were bound. They also found themselves in lover with each other and would die for the other if the need arise. They didn't know Harry was pregnant either, but they'd find out....

It was Halloween and while everyone was celebrating in the Great Hall, Harry sat alone, staring out the window of the seventh year boys' dormitory. It seemed that everything bad happened to him on Halloween. His parents' death, his first beating for asking if he could go trick-or- treating like Dudley, oh, and the most recent - Harry defeated Voldemort but lost many friends in the process: Neville, Dean, Ginny, Hagrid, and - if you'll believe it - Draco Malfoy, who was killed by his own father. A tear slid down his cheek as he remembered the final battle. He took a few deep, shuddering breaths as he felt like the walls were closing up around him. He quickly jumped up and ran, heading for Severus' office, hoping he was there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Severus was in his office grading some terrible first year papers when he heard a knock at his door. Thinking it was Albus wanting him to 'come out and enjoy the festivities', he snapped, "Go away, Albus, I'm not going out there!"

He almost jumped when he heard a small voice on the other side of the door call, "Sev?" Harry's voice.

"Harry?" he asked, opening the door. Harry looked up at him through teary eyes. "Come in." (A/N: Harry got his eyesight fixed in 5th year because of the war. He no longer wears glasses.) Harry nodded and entered. As soon as Severus closed and locked the door, Harry jumped into his arms, crying. Severus, unsure what to do, held him and rubbed his back as he calmed down.

"I'm sorry," Harry said as he stopped crying, "I don't know what came over me."

Severus, still holding him, replied, "I think you just needed to get that out."

Harry lifted his head. "That's not entirely why I came here."

Severus' breath caught. "Then what was it?" he decided to play along, and raised an eyebrow.

Harry, in response, leaned up and pulled him into a searing kiss. When the need for air became too much, they pulled apart.

"Come on," Severus growled, pulling Harry into his bedroom, where the two began tearing each other's clothes off in between kisses.

Satisfied that they were both naked, Severus pushed Harry onto the bed, where he climbed on top of him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They slowly woke up from their bliss induced slumber. Severus, noticing he was still inside Harry, slowly pulled out and got off of Harry, turning onto his back and cuddling him close.

"I love you," Harry murmured against his chest.

Severus froze. How could he say it? He had never told anyone any of his feelings about anything, but he felt Harry deserved it. "I love you too."

Severus turned over to look at his muggle clock. His wizarding one was in his office. The muggle one read 1:32 AM.

"You'd better go back to your dormitory."

"Can't I stay here with you?"

"No, Harry. When we get married, you'll share these rooms, but until a week before the ceremony no one can know. You remember what Albus said last week."

Harry sighed. Yes, he remembered. With that idiot, Fudge, still in office, they would have to. Especially since Wormtail was the only Death Eater caught, so Sirius was free. Fudge had still never believed in Voldemort's return, either, since the body had exploded. He also didn't believe that Lucius Malfoy was already trying to make his way up to 'New Dark Lord'. Narcissa, amazingly enough, was their most valuable spy. There were ALREADY plans to kill Harry.

"Fine." Slowly and reluctantly, Harry got out of bed and dressed. "I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Of course you will!"

Harry smiled and left.

Thank you all for your reviews! Since I really only need to answer one, the only person will be mentioned here. Ask a question, and I'll most likely answer it.

Lady Arwen: I don't know it COMPLETELY, since there is A LOT to learn, but you can learn it pretty much from any book on the language. I personally recommend any book on the language by Sir E. A. Wallis Budge, as he actually has the language, hieroglyphics, and the English translation. But good luck on it, because, as there are like no people who speak it in the world, it's kind of hard. But if you live in Egypt, you just have to go to a Coptic church, because they speak it, kind of like the Catholic Church speaks Latin. No, I don't live in Egypt (in case you were wondering), I'm just obsessed with it. And my religion is Ancient Egyptian. But good luck, I've been trying to learn for a year almost, and it goes pretty slow. I recommend making notes as you go along, and copy those notes (once your done) a bunch of times. And try to connect the words with something, it's easier to do since he gives examples and has an excerpt from the Book of the Dead at the end and the Papyrus of Ani and other things. Good luck, and email me if you have any more questions about what to do, and review more and keep reading.
