Chapter Nineteen

Harry was still sound asleep when Draco came back to his room. With a sigh, Draco sat down the plate of food he'd brought and began trying to wake his friend. He shook the boy slightly. "Harry, get up."

Harry rolled over and swatted at Draco, grumbling in his sleep.

"Harry, wake up or we'll be late to Herbology!" Draco tried again.

"Let me sleep, you bitch," Harry mumbled into the pillows. He let out a deep snore as he fell back asleep.

"Fine. You wanna play hardball? I'm game," Draco muttered, rolling up his sleeves. He grabbed the sheet beneath Harry and yanked as hard as he could.

Harry groaned as he hit the floor on his ass. He glared sleepily up at his blonde friend. "You're a bitch!"

Draco just grinned and said," Not yours!"

***

"Bitch."

"Bastard."

"Golden Boy."

"Snake."

"Lightning bolt."

"Homo."

"Hypocrite."

"I hate you."

"I hate you too."

"No you don't."

"Well, neither do you."

"Sure I do," Harry told his as he planted their aconite into the pot.

"You two are a pair of idiots," Hermione muttered from their right.

"No we're not," Harry scowled at her.

"Hey, why do they call it a pair of underwear when it's only one thing?" Draco asked.

The other three stared at him.

***

"Why won't you answer my question?" Draco asked as they walked inside.

"Because it's stupid," Hermione replied. "Kind of like you."

"Hey. Come on, just answer the question!"

"Why don't you go asked Padfoot? He knows a lot of useless facts," Harry commented.

"You're mean," Draco pouted, crossing his arms.

"I can be meaner," Harry grinned at him.

"What is it with you two? You act like brothers who're shagging on the side," Ron said.

"That's gross," Harry wrinkled his nose.

"That's FrednGeorge," Ron grinned.

Draco's smile reached his ears. "I think I'm going to sneak to Hogsmeade tonight, so don't miss me, okay?"

The Gryffindor three rolled their eyes at the blonde Slytherin.

"I like red-heads and I cannot lie, you other brotha…" Draco trailed off as he saw the looks from his friends. "What? It's a song!"

***

"So, ready for your big date?" Draco asked, grinned at Harry.

"No," Harry sighed. "I'm scared. What if I run out of there again? He may not give me another chance."

"Hey, don't worry. You're not going to run again. And if you do, I'll make him give you another chance," Draco gave Harry a one-armed hug around his shoulder.

Harry smiled slightly at him.

"Good. Now, come on. Let's get you ready." Harry gave a fake groan as the blonde dragged him to his wardrobe.

Remus glanced up at the clock and grinned. Draco'd relayed the time and day of Harry and Severus's date. And this was the perfect to set Phase 2 into action: Lock Harry and the Potions Professor in their meeting room. Remus shook his head. It had taken Draco and him two hours to come up with that, even though it was so overly used by matchmakers.

The werewolf looked over at his mate, who snored loudly. Remus grinned; Sirius was exhausted after only three goes. He usually lasted for four. The Professor corrected himself, Sirius used to last for four, when they were in their early-twenties. Now they were older, in their mid-thirties, and his and Sirius's bodies were slowing down.

The D.A.D.A. Professor shook his head, to clear away what he was thinking. Remus stood up and pulled his robe on. He was going to meet Draco so they could successfully lock the Boy-Who-Lived in with the Potions Master. Remembering his and Sirius's argument, Remus scrawled a note out to his husband before leaving their rooms.

Remus had said in the note that he was going to the kitchen to bring back food, so he had to remember to do that before he went back to his quarters.

***

"Come on, Harry. Go in," Draco prodded.

"Alright," Harry took a deep breath and spoke the password. "Isotope."

The hanging rolled up again and the wall slid aside.

"I'll see you later," Draco grinned as the raven-haired boy stepped into the room. The wall slid back into place and the tapestry unrolled.

Not a minute later, his godfather walked up. "He's already in there."

Severus nodded and said 'isotope'. Draco grinned and walked off as the room opened. As soon as Severus stepped inside, Draco turned around, and Remus came out from behind a conveniently placed suit of armour.

"Let's do it," Draco cracked his knuckles and took out his wand.

"Tempero continco," Remus waved his wand.

Draco cast a hiding charm along with Remus's locking spell. "Dissimulo!"

"There," Remus said. "They can't get out until one of us lets them out. I'd advise having an invisibility cloak or potion, because they both have bad tempers."

"Yeah, I know," Draco winced from memory.

"Well, I'm going to get something to eat. Come with?"

"Nah. I'm going to sneak into Hogsmeade," Draco replied.

"Ah. Visiting the Weasley twins?" Remus nodded.

"Yeah," the blond grinned at him.

"Just make sure you're back by curfew, or I'll have to take off points," Remus told him. Draco took one look at the older man's serious expression and they both burst out laughing.

***

Harry looked up as the door opened. His crush stepped through and stopped a few feet before him. The Potions Professor didn't have his customary sneer on as he looked at his student.

"I…I'm sorry I ran out last time," Harry couldn't help looking down.

Severus reached over and lifted his chin so that he was staring into Harry's green eyes. "I'm sorry if I scared you."

Harry looked a bit shocked at the Slytherin's apology. He hadn't expected it.

"I'm sorry I got scared," Harry whispered as he stepped closer.

"You have absolutely nothing to be sorry for," Severus pressed his lips lightly against Harry's. He moved his lips a little when Harry responded, but made no move to deepen the kiss. Even though it wasn't a deep kiss, the two men were still out of breath when they moved apart.

"We could get in trouble for this, you know," Severus told him.

"I know," the Gryffindor replied, gazing into obsidian eyes. "I don't care, either."

"Just so you know of the consequences," Severus nodded. "I'm going to take this as slow as you need, Harry."

Harry tried to blink back the tears he felt welling up. "Thank you. I…thank you."

"You're welcome," Severus whispered. He leaned forward and caught one of the tears that had escaped from Harry's eyes with his lips as it trailed his cheek. Harry wrapped his arms around the taller man's neck and stayed in Severus's arms most of the night, even as the two talked into the night, and fell asleep on the couch in their hidden room.
