* Harry's POV *
I woke up again a couple hours later still in Snape's arms; but this time we were facing each other. As I looked up he was still asleep but he was stirring. I stared, afraid to move and when he opened his eyes I then said,
"I'm sorry Sir. I didn't mean to stare in fact I didn't mean to stray over here. I'm sorry." Then I detangled myself from Snape's arms.
"It's fine Potter just don't do it again."
"Yes Sir."
Then Snape got up and walked to the bathroom to take a shower. I got out of the bed and walked over to my trunk. Opening it I took out some of the Muggle clothes that the Dursleys had given me. They were to big for me but I put them on anyways. It was better than the school robes. Then Snape walked out of the showers and asked me,
"Why are you dressed like that?"
"Like what?"
"With your clothes all baggy."
"Oh. They were handed down to me from my Aunt and Uncle. They are Dudley's old clothes that don't fit him anymore."
"Well you need more clothes. Ones that fit. As soon as I am done with my duties for the day we will go into Muggle London."
"Yes Sir."

They walked down to the Great Hall. Harry entered first and then Severus behind him. When Dumbledore looked up and saw them entering together he knew that everything was fine between the two. But he waited until Severus had come up to the Staff Table. After Severus had sat down next to Dumbledore he began to serve himself.
Dumbledore waited until Severus was done eating then he began to talk to him.
"So how are things going Severus?"
"Normally Albus."
"That is good to hear. And I suspect that you and Harry are faring well?"
"We haven't killed each other yet if that's what you mean."
"Ah, but I have a feeling that you two are getting along better than you are letting on. Anyways that is between you and Harry. I must be going now. There is no need for you to stay here at Hogwarts this weekend. If you want you can go spend the weekend way from Hogwarts."
"Thank you Headmaster. I was wondering if maybe I could take Potter to Muggel London? He is in dire need of some more clothes and I thought that I would take him."
"Yes, yes of course. You may go."
"Thank you sir. Now if you'll excuse me I must be going Headmaster." Then Severus left the Great Hall.
Harry had been sitting with his friends and they were asking him how things were going with Snape. He had been trying to get them off the subject but failed miserably. They refused to do so he finally gave in,
"He's civil to me and hasn't yet tried to kill me."
"He hasn't well I thought that, that would be the first thing that he tried." Ron said.
"Harry, Ron and I are going down to Hogsmeade and I was wondering if you would like to go with us?"
"No Hermione. I'm sorry I can't, I'm going to Muggle London today with Snape. I need to get some better fitting clothes."
"Ok I'll see you later. Bye Harry."
"Bye Hermione, bye Ron I'll talk to you later." Then Harry turned left and headed towards his room.
* Harry's POV *
I walked into my rooms and looked into my trunk. I pushed aside my clothes and found the small bag that I was looking for. It held my money and I decided that I could exchange a few of my galleons for Muggle money in a pawn shop. I heard Snape walk in and asked,
"What did Professor Dumbledore have to say?"
"He said that I could leave Hogwarts' grounds. So get ready we will be leaving promptly."
"Yes Sir."
Then I continued to put my stuff back in order and then shut the lid to my trunk and went into the living room and waited for Snape to tell me that it was time to go. A few minutes later S walked out of the bathroom and asked me if I was ready to go, and I said that I was. So we walked over to the fire place and Snape went first; throwing the floo powder into the fireplace and stepping in saying 'Diagon Alley' and then disappearing. I stepped up to the fireplace and did the same.

When Harry came out the other side of the fireplace he was in the Leaky Cauldron. He came rolling out of the fireplace. Severus laughed slightly and then turned to him and said,
"Do you always come rolling out of fireplaces or did you decide to try a stunt when coming out?"
"Uhh, I always do that. I don't know how to gracefully exit after floo travel."
"Well I suggest that you work on that."
"Yes Sir. I will try."
"Good now lets get going. I don't want to be out all day."
"Yes Sir but I do need to go sell a few Galleons for some Muggle money."
"Fine we will go to a coin shop and sell them I know of one that I go to."
Severus led Harry out of the Leaky Cauldron and then turned left down the street and headed off. Harry was barely able to keep up with him and by the time he was side by side with Severus they were at the coin shop. They entered the shop and Severus turned to Harry and said,
"Give me three of your Galleons and I will exchange them for you."
"Ok. Here you go." And then Harry handed him the money.
Severus walked up to the man and handed him the three Galleons and asked him how much they were worth. After a few minutes of the clerk exclaiming about how rare these coins were he handed Severus $75,000. Severus thanked the man and then turned with Harry and left the shop.
"Where shall we go now Professor Snape?"
"We are heading to one of the department stores around here to find all of the clothes that you will need. Seeing as how you have shoes –"
"Sir I do need to get some tennis shoes so I don't wear out my school shoes."
"Very well we will get you some shoes as well."
"Ok you lead the way since I haven't been here before."
*Severus' POV*
I led the way to the shopping center and steered Harry to the mens department. I told him to pick out whatever he needed and to come to the register when he had all of his things. After Harry had walked into aisles of clothing I went and sat down by the register to wait for him.
Every now and then I would see him looking at either pants or shirts but I didn't ever see him with things in his arms. After an hour I walked over to him and he had one pair of jeans and one shirt. So I asked,
"Can we go now or are you going to spend another hour to pick out another shirt?"
"Well I don't know what to pick out Sir. I have never picked out clothes and I don't know what to grab."
"Well then why don't you ask one of the clerks to help you?"
"I haven't seen one have you?"
"Don't use that tone of voice with me. I will help you."
So I walked over to a couple of racks of shirts and began pulling out some shirts. I pulled out a two plain white ones, two emerald green, two black and two sapphire blue. I handed them to him and then walked over to the pants. I got him two more pairs of jeans and then pulled out two khaki pairs of pants and then I told him to take the clothes to the register and pay for his clothes. He went over there and I went over to the shoe department.
I began to look for some shoes that would go with the clothes he had bought. I t took a while but I found some black shoes that he could wear and bought them. I headed back over to the clothing department to find that Harry was done with his purchases. We walked in silence out of the store and back out onto the street. I headed up the street and back to the Leaky Cauldron. When we stepped in I turned to Harry and asked,
"Are you hungry or do you want to go back to Hogwarts?"
"I am kinda hungry but if you want we can go back."
"No it's fine we'll eat here. You go find us a seat while I go get some water."
"Ok."
*Author*
So Harry walked off to go find a table. It wasn't that hard since not many people actually eat in the Leaky Cauldron, they usually just go to the bar or are renting a room. So he sat down at the first table that he saw which was as far as possible from the front door. He didn't want anyone to see him with Snape, who knows what ideas they might come up with. He turned to his packages and began to resize them so that they would all fit in his pockets. This only took him a few minutes and when he looked up from it he saw Severus standing in front of him holding two waters. Harry took one of them and Severus sat down.
They talked but not about much. Quidditch, classes, and any other miscellaneous subjects to keep from falling into an uncomfortable silence. Then Tom (a/n: Is that his name?) went over to their table to get their order. After a few minutes they had their lunch and were eating in silence. Every once and a while asking the other to hand them the salt or something. After finishing their lunch they walked to the fireplace and flooed back to the dungeons. When Harry came tumbling out Severus caught him and helped him to stand up.
*Harry's POV*
"Thank you I hate traveling by floo, I can never right my self after tumbling out of the fireplace."
"You're welcome Harry. I used to be the same way when I was your age. I don't think you get used to it until you're about my age. By that time you can guess when you're at the end of the line."
"Yeah I guess so. Well I'm going to see if I can find Ron and Hermione. I'll tell Professor Dumbledore that we're back."
"I expect you to be back by dinner and doing your homework. You aren't going to get away with doing it the morning that it's due."
"Yes Sir."
Then I left the room and headed to Dumbledore's office to tell him that we were back from London. Afterwards I went to the Gryffindor Common Room to find Ron and Hermione. I said the password and then entered the room. They weren't there, in fact no one was in there so I went to the dungeons and started on some homework. I had three essays that needed to get done; one for Transfiguration, Potions, and History of Magic. And each one had to be at least two feet long. I started on the Transfiguration Essay figuring that it would be the easiest. It was; all I had to do was write about the proper way to turn a dog into a foot stool and visa versa. Then I moved onto the History of Magic. I never thought that it was possible but this was even more boring than the class. I tried as hard as possible to stay awake and write it but to no avail.
*Severus' POV*
I came walking from the Headmaster's office into the dungeons. Albus had called me into his office for about two hours for a meeting about the upcoming NEWTS. We needed to plot out a schedule for the classes and the times that the houses were going to take the tests. After that he let me go and I wandered down the halls to the dungeons. When I entered the room Harry was laying on the floor by the fireplace. It looked as though he had been trying to get some of his homework done. He had one essay done and another about halfway done. So I left him alone but I did remove his homework from underneath his head. He moved slightly but didn't wake up. I went into my rooms to get some potion ingredients but I didn't have any there and I had already checked in my storeroom. I needed to go to Hogsmeade and get them. I walked back out and was about to go out the door when I decided to turn around and wake Harry up.
"Harry, Harry wake up." I said gently shaking him. "Harry."
"Hmmm what?" He asked in a grumpy voice.
"Do you want to go to Hogsmeade? I need to get some potion ingredients."
"Yeah I would just give me a sec to clean up."
"Ok."
So he got up and walked into the room. When he came back out a few minutes later He looked more awake and had changed into one of his new black shirts. It was really tight on him and I caught myself staring at him on more than one occasion. 'His body was well defined from all the years of playing Quidditch. He has great legs. No, stop thinking he is your student. But he is a very handsome student.'
*Harry's POV*
When I woke up and Snape asked me if I wanted to go to Hogsmeade, I said yes and got up to go clean up. My shirt was wrinkled so I changed into one of the black ones that I had bought that day. When I walked out I caught Snape staring at me at least three times. At first I was taken aback at this behavior but then I got used to it and tries to provoke him. It was quite a sight seeing him trying to ignore me. But I liked the attention. I kept thinking of Snape as a person and not just my greasy-Potions-professor.
When we got to Hogsmeade we went to one of the all purpose stores to get some potion ingredients and then afterward we went to the candy store and joke shop. He sat down outside while I went in to buy some stuff for upcoming birthdays and things like that. I had fun and was thankful to get out of the castle. While Snape and I were walking back to the castle we ran into Ron and Hermione. They were surprised to see me and much more to see me with Snape.
"Harry, what are you doing here?" Ron asked. I could hear the part he hadn't said, 'and with him?'
"I was bored at the castle and Professor Snape needed some potion supplies, so I came with him."
"Oh."
"Yes and though I might be killed for this later I think it is safe to say that we are becoming friends?" I said it like a question looking at Snape.
"I think that your assumption Har– Mr. Potter is correct." Snape said with some sincerity but also sarcasm. 'It's amazing how he can do that. He can be sincere and yet sarcastic and in that silky voice of his.'
"That's good to hear. Well Professor Snape, Harry, it was nice speaking to both of you. Ron and I will see you back at the castle. Good-day."

Well I want to thank all of you for your comments. I will try to write more in third person but I have a hard time doing that because I tend to tell the story too fast. Also sorry it took so long for me to get this chapter up; but I can only write this story at a friends house because my parents don't approve of these types of stories. I hope you keep reading my story thanks again. Bye.
Please Read and Review!!!!!
Thanx!!!!
