Excerpt from the Next Story
You, Me and What?!
Chapter 1: Fledgling Businesses
3 Months After the House Warming
"Severus, could you come in here for a moment?" Harry yelled out from the spare bedroom that had been converted into an office for Harry's new business.
His request was met with silence. Harry could have sworn that Severus was just a room away in the master bedroom preparing for work at his potions shoppe/homeopathic remedies, which is what the Muggles who frequented the shoppe liked to think of it as.
"Severus?" Harry enquired, this time poking his head out the door into the hallway. Still nothing. Harry was curious now and went down to the master bedroom to see if his lover was still there. The door was closed. Hmm, perhaps he's already gone. Harry went into their bedroom and there, lying face down on the bed was his ex-professor turned love-of-his-life.
"Severus, are you alright? Is something the matter?" Harry went over to the side of the bed and laid a gentle hand upon the other man's shoulder.
He heard his lover moan, and watched as he turned over slowly. Harry looked down and noticed that Severus was looking extremely ill. The other man's face was swollen and flushed.
"Severus, whatever is the matter? Have you caught something, what can I do to help?" Harry leaned over and talked low.
"I've got the Wizarding Measles, therefore I'm contagious. You'll need to leave, Harry. You can't stay here, since you've never had them," Severus said everything so quietly that Harry had to lean even closer to make out the words.
"I'm not going to leave you, who will take care of you then? Besides, I've probably already been exposed to them, I did sleep next to you all last night. So, I'm not going anywhere, love. Is there no potion to take in order to cure this?" Harry caressed Severus' face tenderly.
Author's Note:
First off, I want to let everyone know that this just marks the end of part 2 in a 3 part storyline. The next part will focus primarily on Harry and Sev's careers, the home life and how they manage dealing with their friends and family.
The next thing I would like to do is thank the following personally for leaving a review, your reviews kept me going through this story and I really hope you'll be patient as I plan out the next arc, which will be coming in December.
Thanks:
