Severus blinked lazily at the sunlight blinding him and stretched slowly. He frowned when he heard his stomach grumble and cast a quick glance at the clock. His eyes widened when he saw the time, and he was halfway out of bed before he remembered that it was Sunday. With a sigh of relief, he made his way to the bathroom. When he came out again he saw that Harry was the only one still left in the dormitory, and it didn't look like he was going to wake up anytime soon. Severus was about to wake him when he suddenly stopped, a mischievous grin spreading on his face. He gave his wand a quick flick, and the next moment Harry jumped out of bed cursing. With water dripping from him onto the floor, he glared at Darian who was laughing his head of.
"You t...think t..this is f..funny" he asked in a dangerous voice, or at least it would have been if his teeth hadn't been chattering.
"You should have seen your face" Darian managed to press out, tears rolling down his face.
"J...just you w..wait" Harry threatened, teeth chattering more by the minute.
That only made Darian, who finally had managed to get control over himself, burst into laughter again. Harry tried to look offended, but soon his lips twitched upwards and before he could stop himself he was laughing so hard it hurt. When it had died down, they stood holding on to each other for support, gasping for air.
"T..this d.doesn't mean I w..won't get r..revenge" Harry said.
"Oh, really?" was all Darian said, before he suddenly grabbed Harry by his pajamas top. Before Harry knew what had happened, he was being kissed deeply. He moaned in protest when those lovely lips left his.
"What was it that you were saying?" he heard in a soft whisper near his ear, sending shiver down his spine. Harry had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. His mind was completely blank, but that didn't matter as long as Darian would just kiss him again. When he finally managed to make enough brain cells work again, he looked up and saw Darian smirking at him. He laughed when Harry scowled at him.
"Come on, Harry. I'm hungry. Get dressed, would you? You'll get sick if you stay in those wet clothes," he said, amusement shining in his eyes.
Harry was growling by now, and slammed the bathroom door when he went inside. Watching the closed door, Severus chuckled. Harry was adorable when he was angry. Not that he would ever tell him so.

On their way down to the Great Hall for breakfast, Harry was still slightly angry, although it was more on himself than on Darian. No one should be allowed to be such a great kisser. When he felt heat rise to his cheeks, his scowl deepened. He really should get a hold on himself. Darian's hand suddenly intertwined with his, and Harry couldn't stop the smile spreading on his lips. Butterflies filled his stomach; he hadn't felt this happy in a long time, if ever.
Severus loved feeling Harry close to him, his hand intertwined in his. He was smiling happily when they walked into the Great Hall and made their way to the Gryffindor table.

"So," Harry said, finishing his last piece of toast. "Do you want to join me in the library?"
Darian raised his eyebrows. "Is the world coming to an end? You spending time in the library voluntarily?"
"It's not funny, Darian. I'm serious. I want to find out what that mark on Snape's forearm is, and I know you do too."
"Yeah, you're right. Come on, let's go then," Severus said while standing up.

When they walked into the library, they saw that it was completely full. There wasn't even a single chair left at any of the tables.
"Why don't we just go to the room of requirement?" Harry asked.
Darian snorted. "What good would that do without any books?"
"The room will give us anything we need, remember?" Harry answered, raising his eyebrows.
Severus smiled when he realized Harry was right. Why hadn't he thought of that?
"It's brilliant, Harry. Come on."
Harry laughed at Darian's enthusiasm and let himself be pulled towards the room.

A/N: I know this has taken a long time, and for that I'm sorry. School is taking up a lot of my time this year, so in the spare time I have left, I really don't have much inspiration to write. Anyway, I have already started on the next chapter, so hopefully this won't take so long to write.
