Disclaimers: I am so sorry to tell you this but... I don't own anything but some clothes on my back. I am a college student who is paying for college. Soo... sigh I don't even own this story.

Also... Although you don't really need to have read the first story but this is the second part to Dances. This should be a second story altogether so you don't really need to read the first one but please do.

Business had been booming ever since day one. Harry and Severus were constantly working together to produce various potions for the wizarding world. They hadn't a day off in six months and they were continuously working together peacefully to run the store. Harry would be in the front taking orders and seeing which potions ran out. Severus worked behind the scenes making everything.

It seemed to improve their already close relationship. Neither said anything about the last six months of the Hogwarts term but both enjoyed the little farce of being secret lovers. Both wished to see if something could happen. Neither though wanted to make the first move.

Harry was leaning on the counter thinking about what the shop needed. They could almost use another potion maker and attendant. He knew both he and Severus needed a break before they went crazy. He sighed and stood up. He walked to the back room and looked as Severus bent over several caldrons stirring and adding different things.

"Sev?" Harry asked. After much asking and bugging Severus had finally agreed to allow Harry to call him by the abbreviated name.

"Hmm…" He replied. His head still bent over the caldrons.

"I was wondering, we are doing pretty good. Well enough to hire two more people." Harry started. He glanced nervously over at a shelf of finished potions.

"Do you think you need two assistants?" Severus asked.

Harry smiled at the man. He really thought Harry was dumb sometimes. "Well we both have been under some stress lately and taking a trip for a few days might improve business. I was thinking you might be able to have some one apprentice under you. I'm sure lot's of students would flock to train only under you. You'd also get help finishing potions around here. Plus if they are any good we could hire them on a permanent basis."

Severus had been listening to the things Harry said. He really did need a break. He didn't want to teach but having one maybe two students at most to teach personally would be an advantage. They could use the help. He looked up to see Harry looking back at him.

"It's an interesting thing to consider. It would mean teaching again but then again it would be only maybe two people. A vacation?" Severus asked amused.

Harry blushed a little. "We wouldn't have to take the same vacation if you don't want to. I thought it might be nice but we probably need one of us here to watch the shop and everything." Harry started mumbling. He was hoping they could go together.

Severus just looked amused at the whole thing. "Can I trust you enough to find an assistant for you and plan the vacation for both of us?"

Harry snapped his head back up at the smiling potion master. "Of course, that's insulting. Anyway don't worry you'll like the place."
