It reminded him of jumping down the hole to the chamber of secrets. Finally he landed in an ocean of pillows. Close after Severus came. He smiled broadly after he got himself up from the ground.

"Fun, wasn't it? I've laid a few pillows here so the landing would be soft!" said Severus brightly.

"A –few- pillows? Man, it's a ocean!"

"The more, the better. It wasn't always fun to explain to my Quidditch mates why my ass was black n blue. They thought someone had spanked me or fucked me or something."

"What did you tell them?"

"To shut the hell up of course! Come on. Let's go to my personal rooms."

"And they won't search there?" he asked.

"No. Once I'm out of the wing they don't go looking for me."

"What about –me-?"

"They know that you are safe with me."

"Really? Tell Ron and Hermione that, not to mention everybody else!"

"Speaking of which, do not tell anyone about anything I've told you. If you do I'll get in trouble."

"Voldemort wouldn't like it?"

"What do you think?" Severus asked.

"I think it would be an excellent idea if you got close to me and make me trust you. Then you bring me to him. But of course, Voldemort couldn't come up with such a great plan."

"You're absolutely right. He's a nutter really."

"A dangerous nutter."

"I know. A sort of dangerous –clever- nutter!" he laughed.

Harry liked Severus real laugh.

"Are we going to stay at Hogwarts during the holidays?"

"No But if you really want to, of course you may stay. I'm gonna stay with you in that case."

"Honestly. I'd like to stay at Hogwarts. No I'm joking! You should have seen your face! Hilarious... anyway, I've been here enough so I'd like to spend my Christmas somewhere else for a change."

Right now I'm trying to beat the record for short chapters!

I know this chapter got some spelling errors, I'm too lazy to correct them.

Probably some haft instead of have, I'm always doing it... dunno why really.

Please review, you may shout at me for the short chapter.

Love

PB
