Chapter 4: The suggestion, rejection and decision
Washing himself in the shower Harry thought about his dream. It seemed so real but it couldn't have been true. I mean, Severus was still here wasn't he? It was just a nightmare, nothing more then that. He quickly got out of the shower and seeing that Severus had already left, Harry headed for breakfast. But Severus wasn't in the great hall when Harry entered. Since Severus wasn't in tthe Great Hall and Harry wasn't hungry anyway, he went in search of Sev. When he was in his office or his dungeons, Harry went to look for him in their chambers. He wasn't in the main room nor their bedroom but he heard noises coming from what used to be Dameon's room.
He tried opening the door to the room but found that Severus had put a heavy locking spell on it. Harry gently knocked on the door. "Sev," he whispered "Sev,love," he said knowing Severus was in the room. "Will you please let me in love?"
"No!" he heard Severus roar from the other side of the door.
"Please, love,"
Severus could tell that Harry was about to cry, and that was the last thing he wanted Harry to do. He felt he better open the door. Slowly the door opened and Harry saw the look on Severus face.
Harry quickly gathered Severus into his arms. They stayed like that for some time until Severus pulled back and said "We need to get to class," And he started to walk to the door still holding Harry's hand.
"Sev," Harry asked, "I talked to Albus, he said it was fine if we took a vacation."
"No!"
"Sev, I can't bear to see you like this love," Harry said softly, "Oour son just died! We can't change that, but we can deal with it. I think we need to get away. Away from school, away from the students, away from everything that reminds us of him. We can't go on like this forever."
"No!" he let go of Harry's hand, and continued to walk to the door.
"But, Sev...." Harry whispered, "I don't know how much more of this I can take. I'm close to having a mental breakdown. I know I am. I need some time, I know you do too. We should go. I can't.... I can't stand being around so many memories of him, so soon, knowing he will never be back!"
Severus just continued to walk out of the dungeons. "Sev," Harry tried once again but Severus just kept walking.
Severus went to breakfast alone, hoping that Harry would be right after him. But Harry never showed for breakfast. Severus knew he had to apologize to Harry for earlier. But he couldn't right now because he had a class to teach. By the time lunch had started, Severus was feeling extremely sorry for doing that to Harry ealier. He walked into the Great Hall to see Harry already sitting at the head table.
"Hey," he whispered
"Hi, Severus,"
"Harry, Harry look at me." Harry turned his head to look into the eyes of his husband and lover. "look, Harry, I'm sorry."
"About what?"
"About walking out on you earlier."
"It's okay," Harry said reading the look on Sev's face, "Really it's okay, but Sev..."
"I think you were right." Severus told him as he unconciously started entwining there hands.
"Severus Snape? Is this the Severus Snape, the one I know and love? Cause my Sev doesn't admit that he is wrong very often."
"I wasn't admitting I was wrong, I was admitting you were right, there's a difference."
"Okay, sure. So the vacations on then?"
"Yes,"
"Good," Harry whispered and kissed Severus, "because we're meeting Albus tonight for the arrangements."
"Of course," Severus replied, "You already told Albus we would go."
"Yes," Harry told him, "I knew you'd give in."
"You think you know me that well, do you Mr. Potter?"
"Yes," Harry replied smugly.
"Indeed," Severus let go of Harry's hand and started to eat his lunch. "It's scary how much you know about me, but at the same time it feels good."
They chatted about the vacation as they ate. They had decided it would be more then a vacation( at Sev's protests) it would be stree leave. They would be gone for a month at the least. Longer if needed. They had yet to decide where they were going. By supper they were still going at it. Another big worry for Severus was who Dumbledore was getting to take over their classes while they were gone. Harry wasn't too worried about it though, he knew everything would work out. When Dumbledore planned something it rarely failed.
Okay guys. There's chapter 4. I hope you enjoy. It's a shorter chapter but my next one will be longer. Oh and Harry blows up in the next chapter, I think it is the next chapter anyway. It's for good reason. please Review.
