me: Yay! The lemon chapter! And by the way, I'm horrible at lemon scenes, so it'll probably be a bad one. . Just a warning. Now then...-looks around- Who wants to do my disclaimer/flames warning?
-Hermione's hand...doesn't fly into the air...o.o-
me: -gasp- Hermione! Are you sick? Why are you not jumping at the chance to do the disclaimer for once!
Hermione: -mumbles incoherently-
me: Draco! Stop shoving your tongue down her throat so she can do my disclaimer!
-Draco pouts while Hermione composes herself-
Hermione: She doesn't own us in any manner. If she did, Draco would constantly have his tongue down Ron's throat, Harry would have been an evil Slytherin, and Severus would strut around the potions classroom in light pink robes.
-Severus snarls at me-
me: o.o -smacks Hermione for giving away that info-
Hermione: And also, any flames will be used to melt chocolate for Severus and Harry's...activities.
-Harry grins-
Hermione: That, and they'll also encourage her to write more of these. And that's bad!
me: Hey! -smacks Hermione for her last comment- Anyways, please read and review!
"Did you get my card?"
Harry froze.
"Y-you wrote that?"
Harry stiffened as he felt Severus's arms wrap around his waist and his warm breath washed against his ear.
"Of course I did. Who did you think wrote it?"
"I...I thought it had been a joke."
Severus chuckled. "No, Harry. Not a joke..."
Harry shivvered as Severus pulled him closer.
"Harry...Harry...HARRY!"
Harry sat up suddenly and looked around for who'd called his name. Smiling, he curled back up into Severus's arms.
"Fall asleep, love?"
"Yeah. Sorry."
"It's alright, Harry. Come on, let's go to bed."
Standing, the two made their way towards the master bedroom of Snape Manor.
Harry awoke to the smell of breakfast cooking and walked into the kitchen to see Severus cooking.
"Hungry love?"
"Starving," Harry purred lustily.
Severus wagged his finger at Harry playfully. "Ah-ah. You know the rules. You have to actually eat something first."
"Awww, Sevy, you're no fun," Harry pouted.
"I thought that was why you loved me," Severus replied with a smile.
"No, I love you because you're a bloody fantastic shag." Seeing Severus quirk an eyebrow, Harry continued. "And because you were there for me when nobody else even saw anything was wrong."
Severus smiled at him and reached accross the table to caress the side of Harry's cheek. "And I'll always be there for you, whether you want me to or not." Harry smiled, and the two finished their breakfast in silence.
Glancing up at the clock on the counter top, Severus gasped. "Don't you have some shopping you have to do?"
"I don't see why it can't wait till..."
"No, no, you should get it over with now." Severus pushed Harry towards the fireplace, and gave him a quick kiss.
"A-alright. I'll be back around six..."
"Alright love." Giving Harry another kiss, Severus waited for his lover to dissapear through the Floo Network before rushing off into the bedroom.
"I wonder if Severus forgot what day it is..."
'It's possible...'
'Couldn't be. You saw how eager he was to get you out of the manor today. He probably has something planned.'
'Yes, that's probably it.'
Harry looked up at the sign hanging over the shop before entering.
Hearing the bell over the door ringing, the shop keeper quickly appeared behind the glass counter.
"Ah, Mister Potter! Wonderful to see you agian."
Harry sighed and shook his head. "It's Snape now, remember?"
"Ah, yes. Sorry, sorry. Old age is getting to me, you know. Now then, what can I do for you?"
"I'm here to retrieve that band for my husband."
"Ah, yes yes yes! Please wait here."
Roughly five minutes later, he returned, carrying a small white box in his hands.
"Here you go, Mister Snape."
"Thank you very much." Harry quickly payed for the gift and headed back into the main street of Diagon Alley. He still had a lot of shopping left to do before six.
Meanwhile, Severus was rushing about the master bedroom of Snape Manor, trying to get it ready for that evening.
He looked over the room once more to make sure that it was ready before running down to the kitchens to begin dinner.
'Not like either of you going to be paying that much attention to the food...'
'That may be true, but this is our anniversarry. I want everything to be perfect, even if some elements will be overlooked...'
Harry flooed back to the Manor at 5:30 that afternoon. Deciding to take his bags up to the bedroom where he could put the items away, he was so lost in his own thoughts on his way up the stairs that he didn't noticed the smells and music flowing through the open doorway.
However, once he entered the room, it was hard for him to focus on anything else.
"S-severus!"
"What is it love?" Severus smiled from the bed.
"D-did you do all this yourself?"
"Yes."
"But why?"
"Because it's our anniversarry." Severus grinned and pulled a white box from his pocket, similar to the one Harry had hidden in one of his many shopping bags. Handing the box to Harry, Severus smiled. "For you, love."
Harry opened the box and took out the beautifully decorated silver band.
"Oh Severus...It's...beautiful."
"But it's nothing compared to the one who wears it."
Blushing, Harry quickly retrieved his own box from the bottom of one of the shopping bags and handed it to Severus.
Severus's eyes widened as he looked at ring. It was a emerald green with silver carvings enlayed in it all the way around.
"Harry, I...Thank you." Severus wrapped his arms around his lover and smiled into his hair.
Pulling away, he smiled.
"May I have this dance?"
Harry was stunned for a moment until the music finally caught his ears. "Our song!"
Severus nodded, and as Harry took his hand, the two began to spin about the room.
Heartbreak lullaby...
In the still of the night,
I can almost feel you lying next to me,
Like it used to be,
And its hard to let go,
When there's always something there reminding me,
How things could be,
I've tried to get you off my mind,
I've tried to play my part,
But everytime I close my eyes,
You're still inside my heart,
Why can't I laugh?
Why must I cry?
Everytime we say good-bye,
Why does it rain,
Here in my heart,
Everyday that we're apart,
Why can't it be,
Just you and me,
What will it take to make you see,
These are the words,
To my Heartbreak Lullaby,
Like the stars in the sky,
You still keep on shining down you're light on me,
But out of reach,
And I know that in time,
You will come back to your senses,
See the signs,
And change your mind,
I try to look the other way,
And keep my heart on hold,
But everytime I'm close to you,
I lose my self-control,
Why can't I laugh?
Why must I cry?
Everytime we say good-bye,
Why does it rain,
Here in my heart,
Everyday that we're apart,
Why can't it be,
Just you and me,
What will it take to make you see,
These are the words,
To my Heartbreak Lullaby,
Why can't I laugh?
Why must i cry?
Give me just one good reason why..
Why does it rain
Here in my heart,
Everyday that we're apart,
Why can't it be,
Just you and me,
What will it take to make you see,
These are the words,
To my Heartbreak Lullaby,
Why can't I laugh?
Why must I cry?
Everytime we say good-bye,
Why does it rain,
Here in my heart,
Everyday that we're apart,
Why can't it be,
Just you and me,
What will it take to make you see,
These are the words,
To my Heartbreak Lullaby,
Why can't I laugh?
Why must I cry?
Everytime we say good-bye,
Why does it rain,
Here in my heart,
Everyday that we're apart,
Why can't it be,
Just you and me,
What will it take to make you see,
These are the words,
To my Heartbreak Lullaby,
As the song faded, the two stopped dancing and looked into each other's eyes.
"I love you, Severus."
"I love you too, Harry." Pulling Harry towards the window ledge, Severus smiled and presented him with the food he'd cooked earlier that day.
Harry smiled and Severus and wrapped his arms around his neck.
"You know, as hungry as I am, I'm not in the mood for this..." Looking up at Severus, his smile braodened. "I'm more in the mood for you."
Severus chuckled quietly. "For once, Harry, I'll have to agree that this food looks nowhere near as appetizing as you do right now."
Severus leaned in and captured Harry's lips in his own. Harry ran his tongue along Severus's bottom lip, pleading for entrance. Severus smirked into the kiss before parting his lips and allowing Harry to gain control of the kiss. When the need for air became too great, the two pulled apart.
Taking in Harry's flushed appearance, Severus grinned devilishly and threw Harry onto the bed. Straddeling his hips, Severus leaned down and captured Harry's lips once again. A battle for dominance raged between their tongues as Severus snaked his hands under Harry's shirt and removed it, breaking the kiss for only a second.
As the cool air hit Harry's bare chest, he moaned quietly and pulled Severus in for yet another kiss. Soon, Harry began to remove Severus's clothes as well, feeling a little too vulnerable as the only one not fully clothed.
When all of their clothes lay strewn about the room, Harry began to suck at the juncture between Severus's neck and shoulder, elicting a soft moan from the older man. Severus countered Harry's actions by grinding thier hips together, bringing much needed friction, and causing Harry to groan erotically. Smirking to himself, Severus leaned down and began to kiss along Harry's jaw line, along his neck, and then down his chest. Stopping just above Harry's erection, he came back up an kissed Harry fiercly.
"Se-severus...I...I need..." Harry's pleading was silenced by another kiss from Severus.
When the kiss was broken, Harry immediately got onto his hands and knees. Seeing Severus reach for the draw on the bedside stands, Harry stopped him.
"No...Not this time..."
"Harry, I don't want to hurt you."
"It's alright. Just this once, I don't want you to use it though."
Severus smiled and lined himself up with Harry's entrance.
"Are you ready love?"
"I'm always ready for you, Severus."
"I know..." he whispered before plunging into his lover.
He started slow, and at Harry's command, pouned harder and faster into him. Reaching around, Severus began to pump Harry's erection in rhythm with his thrusts until simultaneously, the world crashed down around them both in one explosive moment of bliss.
Muttering a cleaning charm, Severus collapsed on the bed next to his lover and pulled him into his arms.
"Happy anniversarry, Harry."
"Happy anniversarry, Sevy."
Harry: -tear- I love my Sevy! -pulls Severus into a bone-crushing hug-
Severus: I love you too, brat. Now let me go please. You just broke my rips.
Harry: Whoops! Sorry Sevy.
Severus: Quite alright..-sighs at the relief of being able to breathe again-
me: o.o Oh my...I do so hope I have not horribly disgraced that attempt at a lemon scene.
Harry: Somebody flame this! Sevy and I need chocolate!
me: -smacks Harry- Do not encourage the flamers! Unless you want to be chaste for the rest of this fic!
-Harry promptly shuts his mouth-
me: Usual drill: Review please!
Severus: Review reply! To...Chrliii. She's able to update so fast because she has no life. All she's done the last two days is stare at the WordPad screen and plot out these last few chapters and such. But sadly, at 4 a.m. today, she shall be going on vacation. Which will mean no update for the next two days...-claps happily- And by the way, is this length of chapter better suiting to your tastes? Because she really tried to make it good and long at the same time. So please review again! She loves reading reviews...o.o Believe me. She squeeled like a little school girl to see that she had another review.
me: -smacks Severus for saying that-
Severus: What! It's true!
me: But you didn't have to say it...v.v
