Disclamer: Ditto the chapters before.
Chapter 6
Draco nodded and followed Harry who had gone to the portrait entrance. They opened it to see Lily and the young Potions Master.
"Hello Lily," Draco said smiling sweetly. "Would you and your friend like to step in?"
She nodded, and walked in, pulling Severus with her.
"Harry, Draco, this is my friend Severus Snape," Lily said introducing the Slytherin to the two Professors.
Harry stuck out his hand and Severus looked suspicious, but grasped his hand. Harry then felt a very strong concealment charm on the boy. He ignored it for now, but he would deal with it later.
"Hello Mr. Snape. I am Professor Harrison James, but you may call me Harry," Harry said, and let go of the man's hand. Draco then took the discarded hand and shook it also.
"And I am Professor Draconis James, but you may call me Draco," the blonde said. "Do you mind if we talk with you a while?"
Severus looked skeptically at the two, then back at Lily who gave him an assuring smile. He sighed and nodded.
"Okay, but can Lily stay?" Severus said, and sat down on one of the couches.
Draco nodded.
"As long as you know we may be asking personal questions," he said, and with Harry's help, levitated two armchairs to sit adjacent to the couch.
Severus nodded again and Lily sat down next to him. Harry and Draco sat in their chairs as Severus started talking.
"Lily tracked me down before I went to my dorm," Severus started, a little bit hesitant. "She said that you two helped her out with something and said you would help me out with… them."
The two nodded, and, as they had agreed during the week before, Harry talked while Draco sat there, waiting to be called if needed.
"Yes, I had to deal with bullies most of my life, but I rarely had anyone to help me," Harry said. "Now, we can't talk to those boys until they try something on you or someone else, but we would like to set up an appointment. We could meet after the first class you have with us, unless something happens with them."
Severus thought a moment, and then answered.
"I think that would be okay," he answered. He stood and the Professors and Lily did as well. "Um, thank you Professors."
Harry and Draco smiled, and Harry turned to Lily.
"Has anything happened?" he asked.
She shook her head.
Draco put a hand on her shoulder.
"If he harasses you more than usual, come and tell us, okay?" he said, and she nodded.
"Goodnight Professors," she said, and Severus inclined his head, and they left through the portrait hole.
Draco sighed and yawned.
"That went well, didn't it?" Draco said, and sat on the couch, pulling his lover with him.
"Dray, did you notice anything?" Harry asked, resting his head on his husband's shoulder.
The blonde shook his head.
"What did I miss, and let me say before it slips my mind, that you did well tonight," Draco said, and lovingly kissed the top of the other's head.
Harry blushed but continued.
"Did you feel anything when you shook his hand?"
Draco thought a moment.
"It felt sort of tingly, like he had…" then it dawned on him. He sat up and faced Harry. "It felt just like when you had…"
"A concealment charm on?" Harry finished, and the other nodded. "Yes, he one that covered hiswhole body."
Draco just looked in shock.
"Why didn't you say something?" he asked, plainly upset. "Don't you want to know why?"
"Of course I do," Harry said soothingly. "You know I couldn't just tell him I knew he was hiding something when he only knew us for one night. He would never talk; we need him to open up to us."
Draco nodded, and ran his hand through his hair.
"I understand, that," he said. "But what if he decides not to come?"
Harry smirked.
"Well, I know he will come to the first one at least," he said amusedly.
Draco looked confusedly at his husband.
"You know he will be upset that we will pair him up with James; I bet you he will come storming to our quarters after class," Harry said, and Draco nodded in understanding. "I hate having to pair the two up, but maybe our lessons can help the two understand that they aren't different from each other."
Harry then stood, heading for the bedroom door.
"We'll deal with it when it comes," he said then looked lustfully at his husband. "We don't have any classes tomorrow, so we can sleep in… and I am in dire need of something only my husband can give me…"
Draco's eyes lit up, and he got up quickly.
"Oh and what might that be, babe?" he whispered into Harry's ear, making the other man shiver with delight.
Harry snaked his hands around the Slytherin, and pulled the other man against him. Draco dipped his head and kissed the slightly shorter man passionately, guiding the other man into the bedroom.
A/N- the updates will be coming in long strides, I am afraid. I had to deal with writers block, school, and other things. I hope you liked it. Next will depict their first class with James and Severus.
Thank you all my reviewers! I appreciated every one.
