Chapter Six
Harry woke up slowly. His mind was a jumbled mess. What'd happened last night? His memories were a little blurred and he thought really hard on it and suddenly was rewarded. Memories flooded his mind, the making of the potion, the professor being nice... ~Hell must have frozen over!~ Harry thought.
He got up and started to get dressed, then noticed that no one else was up. Puzzled he went to Ron's bed and peeked in the curtains. Ron and Hermoine were under the covers! He jumped back and took deep breaths. He just decided to ignore it, he'd never seen it if anyone asked him. Well, now he had a good reason why Ron wasn't up but for the others... well he didn't think he had the courage to go and see if there was anyone in their beds. He truely didn't want to know.
He finished dressing and rushed down to the Great Hall. He entered and there were people there, students and teachers alike. He felt Professor Snape's eyes on him and he just about blushed. ~Why is he staring at me?~ Harry thought to himself. Shrugging he sat down at the table and started eating his breakfast. Not more than twenty minutes went by before a disheaveled Ron and Hermoine put in an apperance. Harry tried to not blush but failed so he turned his face away from them and concentrated on his food.
"Hey, mate!" Ron called to him. Harry finally looked up and was relieved to feel that he wasn't blushing. "We were looking for you! We-- er I mean I woke up and you weren't there!" Ron had the grace to blush, a furious scarlet that matched his hair. Hermoine just smiled.
"Er... I woke up and no one was there so I wondered if maybe everyone had come down to breakfast. But no one was here!" Harry said, lying through his teeth. He wasn't about to admit that he'd seen them in bed together.
Ron just smiled and said, "Nope, mate, I was asleep. Sorry I wasn't awake when you came up..." He trailed off. "Oh! How did you're 'meeting' go? Why'd you rush off like that?" Hermoine and Ron were both staring at him, expectantly.
"Well... that meeting was with Snape. He had told me to meet him on Wednesday and Friday for extra lessons. That's why I ran off... I was about to be late and I didn't want to get bitched out."
"And? How was it?" Ron asked, anxious to hear all the juicy details. Harry just smiled slightly.
"Well... it wasn't terrible for once. We brewed a Dreamless Sleep potion and I must have amazed Snape when I brewed it properly!" Harry said, laughing. He wasn't about to tell them about Severus allowing him to call him by his first name, or that he was being nice and wanting to get to know him. No... Harry had kept things from them in the past and wasn't about to start telling it all now. He supposed he did really have Slytherin attitudes. He knew he could trust them with the information but he wouldn't. It'd give them too much ammunition against Severus. He may not totally like him now but he definately didn't hate him anymore and he wouldn't allow anyone to hurt someone he liked... even if it was Severus Snape. He glanced up at the teacher's table and saw that Severus was staring at him. As Harry met his eyes, Severus looked away hastily.
"That's pretty much all we did though... Snape sulked because I brewed it right and he couldn't critizise me or take away House points!" Harry finished. Ron just sat there, looking at Harry. Harry saw the dumbfounded look oh his face and smiled. "Don't worry so much Ron! Honestly. It isn't like it's the end of the world that I have extra lessons with Snape, now is it? We both know that if Malfoy isn't around then I can brew potions properly." Harry looked smug as he said that. "Oh and I told him about that. Well... not in so much detail but I told him to watch us next class session and see if Malfoy tries to do anything. He agreed, merely because he was so astounded that I actually knew what I was doing!"
A/N2: Ok... this is all I could come up with for the moment... I wanted to get this out so that everyone could get their Harry/Sev fix! *Grins* Please review!
