Part ten:

Every nerve in Harry's body seemed on fire, he had never felt anything like this before. Sev's sweet soft mouth kissed his passionately. When Harry had placed his lips on Sev's he had been worried Sev might push him away but those fears were unfounded. Sev kissed him hungrily and if his life depended on it.

Sev felt shock course through him at the touch of Harry's lips but the shock was soon replaced by a burning passion. And Sev responded eagerly. It had never been like this before, Sev was by no means an innocent but this feeling was totally new, Harry made him feel complete. As if a part of him that had been missing was now found. A part that soothed the torture of the dark mark, a part of his soul.

Finally Sev pulled back, slightly breathless. His face flushed in a way Harry had never seen before. He put a hand up to Sev's face touching it gently. Neither seemed eager to speak as if that would break the moment and one would realise what a mistake it would be. Sev took a hold of Harry's hand.

"What are we doing?" He asked, "This will never work." His eyes were shiny with tears threatening to fall. Harry gripped his hand.

"Why, why won't it work?" he said fiercely, "For all we know I could be stuck her indefinitely. And if it is the fact that you are a Slytherin and I am a Grifindor, well fuck that. House prejudices mean nothing to me."

"No it is because I am a Slytherin, a death eater and you are the Heir of Grifindor." He yelled. Harry stared at Sev in open-mouthed shock. Sev swathe look of absolute bewilderment on Harry's face.

"In Merlin's name, you didn't know did you?" Harry nodded mutely. "Dumbledore never told you? I was sire he would have told you." Harry Gulped.

"No... No he never said a word, though that would explain a few things." He gave a slightly hysterical laugh "and to think everyone though I was Slytherin's Heir." Sev gave him a quizzical look. "In our second year, the Chamber of Secrets had been opened and since I was the only Parselmouth. They assumed I must be the heir." Harry explained.

*You are a Parselmouth*

*Yes* Harry hissed before he realised that Sev had not spoken English. "Well aren't you just full of surprises?" Harry asked trying to lighten the mood. Sev gave the ghost of a smile.

"This doesn't change the fact that I have to pretend to be a Death Eater. If they find out that I am." he tried searching for the right word.

"Dating" Harry, said hopefully.

"Yes, dating the heir, they will use me against you."

"We will just have to make sure nobody finds out, that is if you want this?" Harry said lowering his eyes not wanting to look at Sev in case he rejected the idea. Sev put his hand under Harry chin raising his face so they could look at each other.

"I want you." Sev stated, surprised that he would be so fourth coming about telling people his emotions. Harry Smiled broadly, his eye seemed to light up.

"Good" Harry whispered. Bringing his lips to Sev's.

*****************************

"Harry" a voice said, a man walked out from behind a bookcase. His black hair was slightly wavy; his ruggish good looks were only slightly marred by his long years spent in Azkaban.

"Si?" James whispered. Before running to him and putting his arms around the tall man. Sirius laughed.

"I am glad my favourite godson is so pleased to see me. But what is with calling me Si, nobody but Reme calls me that, now." 'Shit I forgot that' James berated himself as tried to remedy the situation.

"I just thought it would be a great abbreviation of your name, because Sirius is just Soooooooooooo hard to say." James smiled. Si ruffled James's hair smiling.

"You know that is just what your father said." A look of pain flashed across his face. James desperately wanted to tell Sirius who he really was, He hated to see his best friend looking so sad, so lost. James looked into Si's eyes; they had lost their mischievous sparkle that James remembered. 'How could they believe those things about him' he thought to himself.

"So what did you want to see me about?" James asked trying to change the subject. Si grinned widely at the question.

"I have been talking to Albus and he said that since I am a member of the Order and am going to be spending a lot of time here you can stay at Hogwarts with Reme and I. You never have to go back to those horrible muggles. Isn't that great?" James gave a genuine smile. It was great news; he didn't know what he would have done to those muggles if he was to be made to stay with them. After everything that they had done to his son, magic ban or not they would have been made to suffer.

"That is great Si. I am glad I will get to spend time with you." 'Even f it is our last time.' He added silently.

A black robed figure stormed into Dumbledore's office. "Albus, you can not be serious about letting James stay here over the summer." Snape almost yelled at the headmaster.

"I am serious, Severus." He answered kindly.

"But I have been begging you for years to get Harry away from those muggles, people that make it look like the death eaters have the right idea. But your golden boy James Potter doesn't have to spend even in a minute in their company. I thought that maybe my belief that you favoured Potter was just jealousy but its not, it's true; you value that bastard over Harry, the boy who will in the future defeat Voldemort. How could you?" Severus hissed at the headmaster.

"Severus," He said kindly, not getting angry at Severus tone of voice, or the rather colourful language he tended to use when he was worried about Harry. "There is a very simple reason, an you must swear not to use this against James," Sev nodded, "I don't trust him around the Dursley's. I am afraid that he will feel so strongly over what they did to Harry that he would do something regrettable to them, and in the process get himself and by default Harry expelled from Hogwarts." The answer silenced Sev, this was nothing like what he had been expecting, he didn't trust Potter, Sev never believed to hear the headmaster say something like that. Dumbledore realised that even Potter had his flaws something Sev knew all along.
