Owww! My ARM! My brother is such a PAIN! The moral of this: If your brother
knows you have chocolate, don't run, just give it up.
I did say that the person on the other side of the door would be easy to guess, well it was gonna be Severus, but I then decided to change it a bit : )
Warning: Fage of Hyren has said that if you don't review then she'll set her Voldie on you. You have been warned, if you don't, you do so at your own risk ; )

//thoughts//
//: mind conversation between Harry and Draco ://
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
.:: Chapter Six ::.
The door opened and Harry stopped dead.
"Harry." A foreign voice said in surprise.
"Viktor." Harry said, also in surprise.
"It is good to see you again," the man said, offering a hand.
"Yeah, you too," Harry said shaking the hand offered, the feeling that he had only grew stronger. "Catch ya later." Harry said and continued his journey out of the office.
As Harry neared the quarters that he was residing he noticed a new presence in the rooms. //Great! Who is this going to be?//
He opened the door. "Thanks Severus." Draco said.
"Yeah, it's good that you're close by, without you we'd still be trying to work out what was wrong with the potions," Sarah said.
"Harry! You're back." Jonesy grinned.
"I only went to Dumbledore's office. I see that the potion caused a problem." Harry said, a mask concealing his anger towards his former lover.
"Damn straight!" Draco said. "Luckily, Severus was able to fix whatever was wrong with it and so it's back to normal now."
"Lucky he was around," Harry said indifferently.
"Well Sarah and I are gonna check out that thing that you wanted us to," Jonesy said, backing out the room. Sarah followed.
"Kevin and I are just going to check out the secret passageways out of the school." Draco said, he motioned for Kevin to follow.
//: Don't be too hard on him, you might scare him off :// Draco's voice sounded in his head.
Harry moved silently over to the cauldron. "Looks like I haven't lost my touch." Severus said.
"Your touch in what?" Harry asked, not looking at the man.
"In emptying rooms quickly."
"They have work to do," Harry said. Both men kept their voices indifferent to each other.
After a long pause, Severus said, "I hear you have a spy working for you."
Harry's back immediately straightened. "Does the whole Order know?"
"Yes."
"Is Viktor Krum a member?" Harry asked.
"You know that I'm not at liberty to discuss who is part of the Order to non-members." Severus replied, looking at a Potions book.
"Severus this is me you're talking to!" Harry said, letting anger creep into his voice. "It's not like I'm going to tell Voldemort who he can attack to infiltrate the Order of Phoenix!"
"Temper, temper."
"Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?" Harry said in a deadly quiet voice.
"Why would I want to do that?" Harry knew the man and knew when he was slightly amused.
Breathing deeply in, he asked, "Just tell me, is Krum a member or not."
"Yes." Severus said.
"Dammit!" Harry cursed under his breath. "And what exactly were you told?"
"Only that you had a spy who was highly ranked in Voldemort's Inner Circle."
Another curse from Harry.
"What's the problem?" Severus asked moving to stand by the window.
"I don't like the energy that felt around him." Harry walked and stood by the Potions Master. "It felt - It felt like he-" Harry sighed. "It's hard to explain."
"A feeling and you assume that he is working for Voldemort." Severus said cynically.
"You don't know anything about me," Harry said, losing some control.
"I know that you tend to leap into things without thinking. If you do this then you'll destroy his life." Severus said, his gaze still on the window.
"You do not know anything about my life now. I look before I leap. And you do not even have a clue about what 'this' is!" Harry said fiercely.
Harry turned to the computer in the corner of the room and quickly typed something, feeling the eyes of the man on his back. "For your information, my spy tells me that Voldemort has someone here at Hogwarts."
"What? Here?" Severus couldn't keep the shock from his voice.
"Yes, here, so that is why I'm searching this database for any signs of Dark activity from Krum."
A beeping sounded.
I-N-C-O-M-I-N-G---M-E-S-S-A-G-E
As the figure appeared, Harry shot a quick charm at spy, disguising his identity from Severus.
"Any idea why I'm dressed like a woman?" An amused voice spoke.
"Look around, unless of course you don't mind your identity being reveal to the rest of the Order." Harry spoke calmly.
"Hmmm, Voldemort let it slip that whoever the spy is, that he's undercover. I mean that the real 'him' is here, and that the person there is an actual Death Eater."
"That is interesting." Harry said.
"Thought you'd like to know." The 'woman' grinned. "Bye Harry, See ya Snape."
"An impostor." Severus said quietly.
"S'what it he said." Harry replied, changing the computer command.
"Harry, I beg to differ, that was a she, not a he." Harry turned around and smiled.
"Funny." The man just smiled back at him. "So tell me Severus, do your students realise that beneath the cold Potions Master, there is a human who from time to time smiles, or even makes a joke?"
"Of course not Harry." Severus said.
"Thought not."
Sighing, Severus said, "Why do you trust me to know this?"
"Know what?" Harry asked confused.
"You could have commanded me to leave, but you let me stay." Severus said softly.
"I've always trusted you. Besides, I know that you're not the spy. Or even a spy." Harry walked slowly towards Severus.
"And how to you know that?"
"A spy wouldn't have the guts to look at me like that? And they wouldn't let me do this." Harry raised a hand and gently touched the older man's cheek.
Harry grimaced as he felt his whole body go stiff. Severus stared in shock as he saw Harry's knees buckle and the twenty-five year old fall to the floor and start to convulse.
Within a second, he was kneeling beside Harry and was gently cradling his head in his arms. "Harry," he said softly.
The convulsing stopped, however Harry wasn't breathing.
"Harry," Severus said firmer this time.
Severus felt tears form in his eyes as he watched the younger man. Cautiously, he raised Harry up and pressed his lips to Harry's, a single tear falling.
Harry started to stir as he broke the contact. As Harry blinked, he brought a hand to his hand and groaned.
"Sorry about that." Harry said.
"What happened?" Severus asked, not letting Harry go from his embrace.
"Voldemort headache." Harry replied, not doing anything to try to leave he embrace that he longed for.
Again, Harry reached up with a hand, and pressed it to Severus' cheek. Harry's thumb moved gently back and forth across the face. He let his hand fall to the back of the man's neck and he pulled him closer.
Their faces barely apart, emerald eyes not blinking as they stared into black eyes. Harry parted his mouth and moved it closer, until it met with soft lips.
//Why am I doing this?// Harry thought to himself. //He's caused me nothing but pain.//
Another voice awoke in the back of Harry's mind, //You're doing this because you know it's right. Besides, you have many good memories with this man, don't let him go//
//No// Harry said to himself, //You're doing this because you love being in his embrace. You can forget that eight years have gone by since you last let this happen//
Harry gasped as he felt a hesitant tongue pushing its way into his mouth. Breaking the kiss, Harry stood up and stumbled. "I'm sorry, I can't do this." He couldn't look at the man who had broken his heart.
"I should go," Severus said, shakily. Moving towards the door he thought //A moment of pure bliss again, and then ruined//
Like Harry, another voice awoke, //Don't let him get away this time. You'll never get him back if you just leave now// But he did.
Both men sat in a daze for a long period of time. Harry stared out the window while Severus stared at a pile of unmarked essay's that he had to mark.
