Sorry for the long wait again, you guys! I lost total motivation for this story until I heard a song that gave me the idea for this chapter

I'd like the thank Tazthedevilman profusely for reading this chapter ahead of time to tell me if the sex stuff was ok...then inadvertently helping me with some plot, lol. Audrey, you'll notice a major addition at the end, hehe...however, I still completely suck at finding "correct" punctuation...if anyone wishes to help me with that, it'd be appreciated (Audrey- you're always welcomed back to help me if you're willing to :-D)

Severus is very OOC in this chapter! So don't go telling me that he is in a review, I'm already well aware of the fact because he's meant to be that way...cuz I really think that's how he'd act in this situation

There's a brief mention of an OFC, as well, but yeah...they're gone after this chapter, I believe

Oh, and I'm really really diggin this new word acceptance so I can do real italics now, woo!

At dinner, on that same Thursday that the "detention" was given out, Snape made an appearance at the Gryffindor table

On the way to his new seat, he stopped behind Harry and said, "Mr. Potter," in a demanding tone

Harry turned around, shocked, "Yes Professor? Did you want something?"

"I simply wanted to inform you of your arrival time for your detentions this weekend, since I lacked to designate one earlier," Severus said, using all his will power to concentrate on his tirade, instead of the lips that were assaulting his neck

"Oh? And what time, sir, would you like me to come?" Harry feigned innocence and cooperation while cupping the older man's groin while saying the second part of the sentence

Severus had to clear his throat before answering as the hand left, "Right after breakfast will suffice"

"With all do respect, Professor, everyone eats breakfast at separate times...so what time would you like?" Harry put on a face that made it seem as though he loathed the man and the conversation

"You're always up early...even on your day off...so 7:30, I think"

"Very good, sir. I hope you saved all the dirty cauldron's that accumulated during the day so I can clean them all weekend long," he smiled with fake cheer

"Oh yes, they will keep you busy for quite some time. Then after cauldron's, there's a floor that hasn't been cleaned decently since your fifth year. I haven't found another who could make dull, beaten up granite shine quite the way you do"

"With all the times you made me clean it, you expected me not to find a way to do it perfect?"

"Mr. Potter, are you giving me lip?" Snape snarled menacingly...that is, as menacingly as one can when one of the hottest boys one's ever seen is sending their 'Fantasy Spirit' over to nibble said ones lips

Harry looked appalled and a tinsy-bit scared, just for effect, "Of course not, Professor, I would never dream of talking back to you"

"See that it stays that way," He sent a warning glare to the boy, "Don't forget, 7:30 tomorrow morning; and don't be late!" he managed to say before walking away and sitting down in his seat moodily. He wasn't upset that Harry had this certain ability to bring pleasure without even physically touching him...in the normal sense, that is. However, he was very displeased that the little, conniving, hot brat had the nerve to use it against him in public! Though this still wasn't enough to rule out that it made him achingly hard every. Single. Bloody. Time

As loath as I am to report, there were in fact no special happenings between their little tryst at dinner and the arrival time for Harry's detentions. Ok, so maybe I lie a little...there was a small amount of groping during breakfast, just so Harry knew Severus would be ready...but that's all

The soft knock at the door came as no surprise to Severus, who was pretending to tidy up his desk. "Enter," he called out, continuing to sort some papers that were doomed to be messed up again soon enough

Harry tentatively entered the room, suddenly very nervous about the weekend ahead. Severus noticed this and questioned him, "Are you scared, boy?" he almost laughed...almost, but not quite

Harry nodded slightly after he closed the door and turned to face the man again, "I know it's mutual, Severus, but it's still very new to me, and it does scare me a little to know that what I've dreamt of will come true..." He couldn't help but look at his feet at that, and Severus said nothing to correct him

"If it scares you, then we don't have to do it," Severus said reassuringly, thinking it best to keep his distance for now until Harry became more comfortable

"No! It's not that I don't want to...it's just...I'm scared..." He looked into his Professor's eyes pleadingly, and it very nearly melted the older man's heart to see it. He couldn't help but cross over to the boy and gather him into his arms

"I won't hurt you, Harry...I won't. If you're not ready, then I can respect that...we'll take it slow"

Severus was aware how different it must be for the young man to perform such tasks in his mind versus in real experience...one always seems more confident in ones own thoughts than in actual practice...or so Severus had heard. He himself had always been the same, both mind and actions

Harry wrapped his arms around the slightly taller man and quietly said, "Thank you"

"Of course. Would it make you feel more comfortable if we kept things in here instead of going back to my chambers?"

"No, I like your chambers...they're soothing"

So it was that the two renegade lovers strategically made it safely into the locked and silenced chambers of one Severus Snape. Once inside, they both settled on the couch; Severus laying on his back, head facing towards the door, with Harry lying on top of him: front to back

"So we'll start slow, as agreed," Severus started after awhile, playing with Harry's slightly smaller hands, "Tell me, how did you find out about this spell, and how in blazes did you manage to put it on me without my noticing?"

Harry giggled a little before answering, "I found it in the restricted section...it was in a book that was hidden behind some others that hadn't been touched for a long time, called "Magicians guide to secret pleasure", if you'll believe that," Harry said the last part since Severus had snorted at the title, "As for placing it on you...well...that took quite a bit more work. You see, first I had to know what the password to your chambers was, so I waited outside your door for hours under my invisibility cloak to hear it. Very nice, by the way, 'Black Angel' suites you very well. So then, knowing the password, I came two nights later and quietly snuck around your rooms, put a spell on you to temporarily make you unable to awake from your dream...a form of the immobulous charm...then performed the necessary spell. I then took the other charm off and quietly snuck back out"

"Wow...all that work just to get me to fall in lust with you," Severus mused in a sarcastically dreamy voice

"Not lust, Sev, love," Harry smiled keenly up at the man

"Yes...but that then leads me to my next question: are you sure that this is what you want?"

Harry was silent for a few seconds, making Severus' heart skip a beat or two, before answering, "I'm pretty positive that this is what I want"

"Only pretty positive, eh? So does 'pretty positive' cover you wanting this, then?" Severus asked, then began to rub Harry through the front of his jeans, both having discarded their robes soon after entry

"Mmmm...yes...does cover that quite well," Harry whimpered as he arched into the touch

"Good...but does it cover this?" Severus slid down the fly of the pants and undid the button before finally extracting the hard member of the slender boy on top of him, stroking it lazily

Harry groaned at the contact as his right hand moved to hold the back of the couch and his left moved up to awkwardly hold onto the others neck, "Faster, Sev, please...faster," The boy was just able to coherently request before being rewarded by receiving that which he asked

It didn't take long for him to come over Severus' hand, his own pants, and parts of the couch. He lay panting for a good minute or so, both men remaining quiet

Though, quite suddenly, Harry flipped over and kissed the other man heatedly, both moaning into the kiss. Harry's hands moved down to play with the edge of Severus' shirt, before pulling it up and over the man's head and off his arms. Once the obstacle of the article of clothing was taken care of, the younger man slowly kissed his way down the others neck and to his taut nipples. Just as his Fantasy Spirit had done a few days ago, he slowly nipped, tugged, bit and pulled at both (at one point simultaneously with the help of his FS) until every last drop of seed was withdrawn from his lover for the moment

"Jesus, Harry..." Severus panted, slowly coming down from his euphoric high

"I love that weakness of yours," Harry smiled sweetly

"Yes, that is quite apparent"

The rest of the Friday went quite similar as the morning. In between random bouts of jerking or sucking the other off, they had a decent lunch and dinner in the quaint kitchen, as well as some talks to get to know each other a bit better on the personal level. It wasn't until after dinner that the truly odd, and rather random request came to the surface

"Severus...will you make love to me?" Harry quietly asked, gazing into the fire as he played with Severus' hands in his lap

To say that the older man was shocked would be an understatement, really, he was more blown away by the question, and it took him a bit to answer because of it, "Are you sure?"

Harry turned to look him in the eye before saying, "Yes, I'm sure that I want this"

The pair rose from the couch and made their way hand-in-hand towards the bedroom off to the right of the main door. Severus led Harry over to the bed and softly urged him to lay down on his back before climbing over him

They began to kiss sweetly, silently agreeing to take their time with this...they did have all weekend, of course. So with that settled, their clothes were slowly and lovingly removed from the others body that they seemed to cherish so much, then Severus began to trail feather light kisses all over Harry's body, slightly teasing the sensitive areas he knew to exist

After many minutes of torturous pleasure, Harry began to beg, "Please, Severus, fuck me! I need to feel you inside me...no more teasing..."

Severus glanced up with amusement and lust in his eyes, "Aren't we a greedy one?"

"Torture...all the right spots...ah!" Harry couldn't form a coherent sentence since the other man had began to tongue-fuck his belly button

All of a sudden, Severus turned very serious, "Harry, look at me," he demanded, and it took awhile for Harry to comply, "This is a very big step; I need to know that you truly want this"

"I already said I did, Sev, please"

"Tell me that you love me," Severus pleaded with his eyes, though it didn't quite reach his voice, so it came out as a simple statement, "I can't make love to you if you don't love me"

"I love you, Severus, you know I do," Harry desperately tried to get the message portrayed through his eyes as well as his voice, but the lust was just too thick for it to get through

In response, Severus leaned up and kissed the younger man while reaching to grab the tube of lubricant that was located in the drawer beside the head of the bed. He squeezed some of the cold liquid into the palm of his left hand before rubbing his right against it to warm up and spread out the substance

He slowly made his way down the lean body below him, before finally inserting a finger into the younger man's tight passage. The youth grunted in discomfort at the intrusion, but slowly adjusted to the feeling before a second and third were added to the mix. Soon, Harry obviously felt prepared enough when he started shouting, "Please, Sev, please!"

Severus quickly lubed up his cock before positioning himself at Harry's entrance. The penetration was slow an agonizing for both; for Harry because of the slight burning sensations it caused, and for Severus because it was incredibly hard to hold himself back from just pummeling the boy right from the start

Once the younger man was used to the feeling of the entry, Severus slowly, very lovingly, thrusted in and out of the warm cavity provided by the willing boy beneath him. All was running smoothly until those fateful words that no one ever wants to hear in the throes of passion were spoken

"More! Oh faster, Ron, please!" Harry screamed out, eyes tightly closed

And everything stopped. The world stopped rotating, the fire stopped moving and Severus stopped breathing (which, in turn, means he stopped moving, as well)

The older man, once true realization hit, hastily pulled out of the others body and backed away to the end of the bed, as far as he could go from Harry. His head was swimming, his heart was aching and his cock was softening as if a bucket of cold water had just been dropped on him

As soon as Harry felt the halt in movement, then the pulling away, he knew he'd said something wrong...he thought about it for a minute, and when he realized what it was he had done, he swore softly to himself

"Severus...please...I didn't mean..." Harry sat up and tried to reach out to touch the other man's arm, but he pulled away before he could even get close

"No, get away from me," Severus chocked out

Harry reluctantly pulled back his hand and tried again, "I didn't mean to say it. I don't even know why I did"

"I thought why you did would be rather obvious, wouldn't you?" Severus spat, "You obviously care about him still, even though he's gone..."

"No, I've never thought about him in that way, Severus," Harry tried to say, but the statement was lost on Severus' ears

"You said," Severus whispered, sadness radiating off him in waves as he looked down at his own hands, "That you loved me"

"I do!"

"Obviously you don't! It's apparent that you love Ron and were just lusting over me. If you love someone, you don't scream someone else's name out in the middle of sex!"

Harry was silent for a few minutes. Did he really love Ron? No...that was impossible...wasn't it? He knew he had cared about the other boy, but love him in that way? So he had had a few erotic dreams about him...3 years worth to be exact if he were willing to look that closely at it, which he quite frankly wasn't, but so what?

But what does that say about what he felt for Severus? Was it truly just the thrill of sleeping with a teacher that made it seem that he was more than simply lusting over the man? His heart sank because he knew, that deep down, this was the real truth of it all

"...I loved Ron..." He said, more to himself than to Severus, as realization dawned on him, "And...I thought...I really did think I loved you...but now..." Harry's heart hurt, and his eyes were burning from suppressed tears, "I'm not sure anymore..."

"Get out," Severus ordered from the edge of the bed, still uncovered, "I can't deal with this right now"

Harry looked up with wide eyes, a tear finally escaping, "Severus, please..."

"I don't want to hear it," The other interrupted icily before he could get any farther, "I want you out"

Harry got up from the bed and found his clothes, slowly putting them on as Severus moved to conceal himself with the covers of his bed

Before leaving the room, hand on the handle, Harry turned slightly, mouth open and ready to say something

"Please, Harry...please just go," Severus begged before the other could begin speaking a syllable. The older man saw one last tear fall before the younger man turned and walked out

As soon as he heard the main door close, he fell over sideways and buried his face in his hands before releasing the tears. After awhile, he grudgingly got up from the bed, took a cold shower and then headed out to the cupboard to grab a bottle of fire whiskey before making his way over to sleep on the couch. He couldn't bring himself to sleep in the bed that he almost had Harry in...almost had his heart...

But it wasn't sleep that came from sitting in front of the peaceful fire, which had now resumed its movement, and drinking the whiskey straight from the bottle. How did that song go? "We watched him drink his pain away, a little at a time," yup, that was it. Damn muggle songs. The anger about the situation was starting to get to him. He wasn't lying when he said he loved the boy, because he really did, but it was just so hard to love him right now, for obvious reasons

"AAARRRRRRRRRG!!!" Severus let out a long, painful cry, willing all the agonizing pressure in his heart to leave that way, but it didn't work. He looked down at the bottle in his hands that had gone from full to half way empty in his sitting. For of course the bottle was half empty and not half full...he was very pessimistic about everything right now. Stupid bottle silently analyzing him! He hated that, so he yelled as he threw it to crash against the top of the mantle of the fireplace where the shards rained down, the light of the fire catching each little sharp edge

That wasn't all that happened, though. The bottle had hit a loose brick when it made contact and crumbled it, so now there was a piece of paper protruding from the hole. Severus got up and shakily made his way towards the fireplace and reached into the opening to pull out an old picture and what seemed to be a letter. The man's eyes grew wide as he stared at the long forgotten picture. His knees grew weak at the sight, so he simply sat down where he was, right in front of the flames, and opened the letter

'My Dearest Severus,

How have you been? I've missed you dearly these past two weeks, and I wish you could've come to Egypt with me, but I know that your students have to come first. The muggles here are impossible! They found a new mummy today, but they refused to let any of the wizards see it until we threatened them with magic. Turns out it was a greater find for us than it was for them, for it was the body of one of the first Ministers of Magic of Egypt! Can you believe that? And even though he didn't have what we were looking for, it was still a very exciting day for us all. Tomorrow we'll be heading to Ecuador to do some research there, as well. We can only hope that we are as lucky there as we were here, if not more so

Oh Severus, my love, I can't wait to get back to you, though. This mission is so draining and they won't even tell us when it'll be over! I wouldn't be surprised if they send us all over the world looking for these hidden amulets. There's far too much secrecy around here...none of us truly know what the amulets are to be used for...we could be working to put together a weapon of mass destruction for all we know. But enough 'woe' talk

I love you, Severus, so much. Please, wait for me until I get back

Love always,

Geoffrey'

The words brought tears to his eyes, remembering the very next letter that he had received, saying something along the lines of: 'Don't wait for me, I don't think I shall return to that retched place I used to call home...not even for you, Severus. Don't hunt me down, you will not find me. Goodbye'

Why did he always set himself up to be hurt? He thought he could've trusted Harry to be truthful of his wants...but apparently, he was just as wrong about that as he was about Geoffrey. Severus sulked over these recovered memories before wiping away some tears and moving back to sit on the couch after throwing the picture and letter into the fire to burn

"I'm a right old fool," Severus sobbed before the ability to speak became too much work and he simply cried himself into a fitful sleep

As I expressed to Tazthedevilman, I'm wary of this chapter and this new twist. Those who have read my other two stories, you'll notice my notorious comeback of making them miserable in here...every relationship has its ups and downs, so yeah

And I'm making Severus the poor baby in this story, cuz it's always Harry that's more hurt than Sev, so I'm switching it up a bit...he's a very fragile soul. And someone screaming someone else's name doesn't happen often at all either...it's a nice little twist

Review Responses-

Tazthedevilman- Thank you very much! I appreciate the beta, once again

Crazer57- Sorry I didn't update quick :-( And I'm sure this isn't what you were looking for when you said you were looking forward to seeing what happens during the weekend, lol...sorry for that

Reese Craven- Of course you're special, dude! You thought otherwise? Trust to carry out a blow and hand job in the office during class? I think horny would be a better word, wouldn't you? lol. Thanks for your continued support! I hope you approve of the twist...you had to know it was coming, though. I mean, come on! You're reading my story, lol

M- Thank you very much. I know the background was covered quickly...but it was very boring to write that, lol...sorry for that! And I think the relationship in here moved slower than in some fics...I don't know, thanks for the input though! If I ever come back and rewrite this, I'll definitely keep that in mind

Katie Lupin Black- Yay! My story's weird! ::dances:: Yet you're still here reading it, hehe, I love that fact! Now, I really did understand that you wanted more quick, but I'm very terrible with updates with this one for some reason! But I'm gonna really try to write the next chapter quick quick lickety more split, lol, is that good?

I've got many suggestions from Tazthedevilman to thumb through to see what I wanna do in the next chapter. I know vaguely what I want to happen, but I don't know how I want it to turn out...bah! I think the next chapter will be based off a song (my other trademark, it seems), but hopefully that'll be the only song-based chapter

Thank you for staying with me! And thanks to the four new people that added me to their author alert list!
