Getting to Know Each Other
* Harry's POV *
I finished my lunch and slowly made my way to the dungeons before I realized that I didn't know where Snape's rooms were. So I stopped, summoned a house elf and asked it to take me to Professor Snape's quarters. So the house elf took me to a painting of a snake and then it disappeared. I stood in front of the painting for two or three minutes and then the snake looked at me.
"Harry Potter, Severus has ordered that I not let you in."
"Ok but I live here now."
"I know nothing of this. I must here this from Severus or Headmaster Dumbledore."
"Ok I'll be back."
Then I left for Dumbledore's office. I needed to get into the rooms and talk with Snape. And if anything I needed to get into the room to sleep tonight. I walked up to the Gargoyle and said 'Chocolate Parfait' and it leapt aside and let me in Dumbledore's office.
"Professor I need to speak . . ." I walked in and saw that Snape was talking to Dumbledore. " . . . I'm sorry Professors I will come back later."
"No Harry that's ok, I know why you are here and the password is 'Parselmouth'. Now you may enter the dungeons and tell Serpentine that you are to be allowed in no matter what Severus says."
"Yes sir. Thank you Professor." Then I turned and left.
~ * ~ Headmaster Dumbledore's Office ~ * ~
* Severus' POV *
I was called to the Headmaster's office and I knew it wasn't going to be good. I had changed my password to my chambers and I had told Serpentine not to let Harry in. I knew that this wouldn't last long but it would give me time to sort out everything that had happened in the past two hours. I knew that as long as Harry was at Hogwarts he would be living with me; Dumbledore would see to that. That meddling fool. He couldn't just leave things alone; let them work out for themselves. And that is exactly why I was being called up to Dumbledore's office. When I got there Dumbledore asked me why it was that I had locked Harry out of our chambers.
"Sir I didn't want to be disturbed while I thought about the past two hours. I just needed to do that before I tore Potter to pieces for being such an idiot."
"I understand Severus but you just needed to tell Harry and I am sure that he would have left you alone. And you do need to understand that he didn't do this on purpose. Just talk with him and you'll see. Now what is the password?"
"Parselmouth." I said.
"Professor I need to speak . . ." Harry walked in and saw that I was talking to Dumbledore. " . . . I'm sorry Professors I will come back later."
"No Harry, I know why you are here and the password is 'Parselmouth'. Now you may enter the dungeons and tell Serpentine that you are to be allowed in no matter what Severus says."
"Yes sir. Thank you Professor." Then Harry turned and left.
"Albus it's our life and we will figure it out."
"It's good to see that you are accepting this Severus."
"What do you mean accepting it? I'm doing no such thing."
"Yes you are. You just said it is OUR life and WE will figure it out. You are clearly accepting it in your subconscious and now you just need to let that take over."
"Albus I will not just let my subconscious take over. I will not do it."
"I know that you were hurt once by someone you loved but I'm sure that if you give Harry a chance . . . "
"No Albus I can't trust him or anyone else I just won't."
"Fine you are dismissed Severus. But I do expect you to be civil to Harry. I will not tolerate any other kind of behavior."
Then I left the room. 'I can't believe that old man. He had the gall to tell me who to love; and then he brings up him. How could he? I just can't believe that he would use Remus against me. That was a low blow Albus even for you.' I slowly walked back to my chambers and right before I entered I remembered that Harry was in there so I regained my composure and entered.

"Hello Professor. I was just doing some homework, I'll leave if you want me to." I said trying to just stay on his good side.
"No Potter you are fine where you are. Just don't disturb me."
Then Severus turned and left the room exiting through a door on the left. Harry watched and then turned back to his homework. It was dinner time before Severus came out of his bedroom and saw that Harry had fallen asleep while working on the Potions Essay that he had assigned. He picked it up and while reading it he called a house elf to bring them some dinner. The essay was quite good and would probably earn him an A if he kept up this type of work. Severus sat down the paper and gently shook Harry to wake him up.
Harry's eyelids flickered and then they oped to reveal his emerald green eyes. Severus caught himself staring at them. He woke out of his trance like state when the house elf arrived with the food.
"Ummmm Professor the food is here." Harry said with some uncertainty in his voice.
"Thank you Harry. I apologize for staring."
*Harry's POV *
Severus and I ate in silence mostly because we were deep in our own thoughts. When we were finished a house elf appeared and took our plates away. I moved down to the floor in front of the fire and took out a drawing pad that I had. I looked around the room for something to draw. Then I looked behind me and saw Severus asleep. Perfect. I took out a pencil and began to sketch an outline for the picture. Slowly I drew in the details and erased to outlines making it come to life. Drawing the symbol on his cloak and drawing every strand of hair. As I was putting the finishing touches on the couch I saw Severus begin to stir.
"No, no leave him alone, don't hurt him. He didn't do anything leave him alone. Please I'm the one you want."
Then Severus began to go into what looked like a seizure. I walked over to him as quickly as I could and began to shake him saying his name everything that I could to get him to wake up. I saw his eyes open and he was looking at me and tried to get up but it wasn't that easy. I was determined to find out what was wrong before I let him up.
"Tell me what happened. Why were you seizing? Who was being hurt?"
"Potter get off of me."
"If you want to get you'll tell me."
"It was just a memory. A nightmarish memory but one none the less. I don't wish to talk about it."
"But why were you seizing?"
"I was being put under the Cruciatus Curse by Voldemort. That is all. Now get off of me and go to bed."
So I got away from him and decided that he was right and I needed to go to bed.
"Sir where is my bedroom?"
'Oh Albus I'm going to kill you.' "Potter there is only one bedroom. Albus won't enlarge my chambers for a room for you."
"Well what does that mean sir?"
"It means that we share a bedroom or we don't."
We were both silent for a few minutes then we both offered, "I will sleep on the couch."
"No, no you take the bed." Again at the same time.
"I have a compromise Potter. We both can sleep on the bed just at separate ends. Is that ok?"
"That's fine with me. I will go get dressed now if that is ok?"
"Yes that is fine I will be in, in about a hour."
"Ok I will see you in the morning Professor. Good-night."
"Good-night."
Then I headed towards the bedroom and found that my stuff was all there. I searched through my trunk and found my pajamas. I changed into them and walked over to the bed and took off my glasses and then climbed into bed. The moment that my head hit the pillow I was asleep.
* Severus' POV *
After dinner I fell asleep on the couch and began to remeber some repressed memories. It was back almost 10 years ago when he and Remus had been going out. Lord Voldemort had summoned him and he was not happy. When I appeared there I saw Remus chained to a wall; bleeding and almost dead. Voldemort had found out about them and about how I was a spy for the Light Side. When Voldemort saw me he looked over at Remus and then performed the Cruciatus on him and I couldn't stand watching it. I yelled for him to stop that I was the one who deserved such treatment. Voldemort looked at me and said,
"You are right Severus you're the one who deserves this. Avada Kedavra." He killed Remus instantly and then turned to perform the Cruciatus on me.
I woke up seizing and Potter trying his best to wake me up. He wanted to know what it was that I dreamt about but I couldn't tell him, not yet. I told him to go to bed and we argued over who was sleeping out on the couch and then finally we agreed that we would both sleep on the bed just on separate ends. He went into the bedroom and I said that I would be in, in a hour.
I needed to go through the memories in my head and try to sort them out and put them in the Pensieve. I couldn't have myself go into those memories and chance hurting Harry or myself. So that's what I did. I searched through my memories and took out every single one that has Remus in it.
I was beginning to feel tired and so I decided to go to bed. When I walked in Potter was curled up in a ball on one side of the bed, and being that it was a king size there was a lot of room left. So I went over to him and untangled his arms and legs and got him to at least straighten out. Then I laid down to sleep. I fell asleep right away and never even noticed when Harry and I had moved over next to each other.
~ * ~ The Next Morning ~ * ~

The next morning when Harry woke up he was laying with his back to Severus' chest and Severus had wrapped his arms around his waist pulling him in. Harry didn't mind at all and fell right back to sleep, after all it was Saturday.
Severus woke when he felt someone next to him stirring. He opened his eyes and saw Harry's back to him and that he, Severus, had wrapped his arms around Harry's waist. Seeing as how Harry hadn't ran out of the bed Severus stayed as he was and went back to sleep.
