Walk away and I stumble
Chapter two
By the time that Christmas rolled around, three days after that eventful night that had found two grown wizards making love in a corridor; the two had a relationship that was something to be proud of.
They seemed to get along with their lives as they had done before, Harry honouring the fact that Severus liked his privacy but the difference now was that Harry would occasionally become bored with whatever activity that he had chosen to pursue that day and bother Severus until given the attention that he wanted.
Since neither had been out of the house other witches and wizards had not been a problem, no sign of their relationship had reached reporters such as Rita Skeeter and therefore there had been no mention in it in the Daily Prophet. Not even Dumbledore nor any other member of the Order had disturbed them again.
The house elves had taken it upon themselves this year to open up the dinning room for the two wizards and prepare them a feast. They had even set up a Christmas tree in the far right hand corner that looked a little lonely with no presents underneath it but was grandly decorated nonetheless.
Harry had mail ordered presents for Ron and Hermione, along with them he had sent a card with the message, 'Thinking of you at Snape Manor, Harry.' He was positive that at some point, probably very soon they were bound to come hammering on their front door, conveniently Harry hadn't mentioned this to Severus.
Harry descended into the entrance hall alone, Severus was already up and downstairs by this point, he never bothered trying to wake Harry who could sleep for England if he wanted, when he was asleep then nothing, not even a heard of rampaging hippogriffs would wake him. However Severus had amused himself with the thought that if a hundred female Harry Potter fanatics came through the bedroom door he would be awake in an instant and running for his life. Snape however had never tested this theory although he was tempted.
"Hey baby" Harry greeted as he entered the kitchen and began helping himself to the mug of coffee that Severus had just brewed for himself. Severus glared at the boy but said nothing; he did so detest being called 'baby' or any other form of pet name, when used Severus didn't respond. Harry would soon learn, or so he hoped.
"Aw honey, aren't you going to say good morning?" Harry said as he sat himself down in Snape's lap as the older man took a seat at the kitchen table.
"No" Severus said defiantly as he opened the paper and began to read, "Not until you stop with that ridiculous name calling."
"You love it really baby and you know you do." Harry said as he kissed Severus, a long passionate drawn out kiss before removing himself from his lover and taking a sip of his coffee. "Anything interesting happening in the world?"
"Voldemort is back in England it would seem, he was spotted…"
"I don't want to know, it just makes me feel guilty about the fact that I haven't killed him yet, anything else?"
"Nothing of interest, well unless you count the article, well it is more of an interview by your friends Weasley and Granger."
"What does it say?" Harry asked as he began to drink more of the caffeinated goodness that filled the mug, it warmed him as he drank.
"Just that they are worried about you and think that you might be dead."
"Really, well I sent them Christmas cards"
"Potter, you did what?"
"I, sent, them, Christmas, cards." Harry said very slowly making sure that he pronounced each and every syllable just to irritate his lover further.
"And why on earth would you want to do that?"
"Because they are my friends"
"And what exactly did you write in these Christmas cards?"
"Erm" Harry looked a little nervous, "Think of you at … Snape Manor"
"You do realise that by this afternoon every reporter in the country is going to be knocking on the front door wanting to know where the famous Harry Potter is."
"Let them, I don't care, Voldemort's back remember, I'm now officially out of hiding, not that I want to be but that is what is expected of me, I've had my fun vacation and now I have to go and do what I was born to do."
"Let me just summon the house elves, we can avoid them for a while longer."
"And what did you have in mind for us today that we would have to avoid the press for?"
"Well, I was going to finish marking those essays which you have efficiently distracted me from before now and then I was going to work on my potions, you can do what you wish."
"See, I don't like that plan too much, I prefer my plan"
"And what exactly is your plan?"
"Whipped cream, strawberries, chocolate sauce and a pair of handcuffs."
"I'll have to think about it, those essays have to be done"
"Are you seriously going to choose your work over me?"
"Not a chance brat, you go upstairs and wait for me."
Grinning Harry got up from the table and departed up the stairs, Severus summoned the three house elves, Missy, It and Prat (their actual names believe it or not) and dealt out instructions before requesting the food items that Harry had suggested along with some honey and chocolate buttons.
It was mid afternoon when the doorbell started ringing, Harry was in rather a strange predicament, (literally every part of his body was covered in cream, honey and chocolate buttons) and therefore couldn't really leave the room until he was clean, which led to the reason that Severus could not tend to their guests.
The house elves however seemed to be fulfilling their duties and Severus' request at not being bothered by anyone. By dinner time both men were about ready to shower, Harry had brought out a side of Severus that he had not known that had been a part of his personality; he was now officially a sex maniac!
They made their way to the bathroom, the one with the double shower head so that they could both fit in together, they had tried to squeeze into the single shower and that hadn't worked but it had led to a very interesting sex position that they were sure had never before been discovered.
They turned on the water to a pleasurable temperature and got in before they began to kiss; Harry was soon on his knees and taking Severus into his mouth, the older wizard never could get enough of his young lover's talented mouth.
Just as Severus was about to reach his climax Harry pulled away and got to his feet, he ran his hands through Severus' gripping wet hair and stood on tiptoe so that they could share a kiss, their erections rubbing together.
The friction between them becoming too much for Severus to handle he pushed Harry back against the wet tiled wall, the younger wizard obligingly wrapped his legs around the others waist as they continued to kiss.
As Severus entered Harry there was a soft pop behind them as a house elf appeared, she then squealed and disappeared again, the two wizards ignored her arrival and departure. As they both climaxed Harry threw his head back, hitting it against the hard stone wall but the pain was null as all his senses were on overload with the pleasure of his orgasm.
Severus came to his senses first and turned the water off, the bathroom had steamed up nicely, it was if a warm fog had settled there, the mirror was un-useable but neither cared too much. They wrapped thick fluffy towels around their waists while they towel dried their hair as much as possible. Despite the shower the younger wizard still had chocolate in places that he had never thought about before; he could feel the honey that remained in his belly button.
"Next time, I'm eating off you" Harry said, Severus smirked, it wasn't his usual 'I'm so evil' smirk either, it was a smug sort of smirk that drove Harry wild, he was dying to jump the man now.
"It was a rather enjoyable experience, I never knew such food products could be so enjoyable or could get so many places." He said grinning; Severus pulled Harry toward him so that they could share a kiss.
As Harry was about to lose his towel Missy the house elf appeared again looking a little apprehensive about disturbing them again, "Excuse me Sirs, Professor Dumbledore is waiting for you Sirs, he says it is important Sirs."
"I thought I made it perfectly clear that we were not to be disturbed Missy, can you please get rid of him and anyone else that has been hammering down the door."
"Of course Sirs, I am very sorry Sirs."
"Oh and before you go, please clean all the empty containers from the bedroom." Severus requested, the house elf bowed a ridiculously low bow and disappeared from sight with a soft pop. "Now where were we?"
Harry grinned pulling Severus down to kiss him while removing their towels again, they had just made it through to the bedroom and fallen down upon the bed when the door burst open revealing an irritated looking Dumbledore.
Severus almost fell off the bed in shock, as it was he grabbed the blanket and arranged it so it covered them both. Harry was more than a little annoyed at the old mans intrusion on their privacy but settled for glaring at him.
"I need a word" The headmaster said, it may have seemed as if it was a request but it was more of an order, he wasn't happy about being told that he couldn't be seen because they were too busy making out, he was a very busy man after all.
"Clearly" Harry said as Severus searched for underwear, any underwear, just something to cover himself and possibly some for Harry was well.
"What is it headmaster?" Severus asked being slightly more polite than his lover who remained glaring at the elderly wizard in an exasperated fashion.
"It is concerning the circus camped out on your lawn, waiting for a story on the happy couple." Dumbledore said, he said the word happy as if he didn't quite believe it.
"We are happy Sir, despite how much you don't want to believe it, now if you'll kindly excuse us, I have a problem that only Severus can deal with."
"Can I not help you with it a little later, Albus clearly needs to speak with us."
"Normally I'd say that it could wait but it's kind of urgent." Harry said giving the potions master a meaningful look that clearly said that he was in desperate need of attention, Severus would almost think that he had been ignored for the past three days.
"Can you not deal with it yourself just this once?"
"It won't be as fun without you though baby."
"For that love, you can deal with it yourself and then meet us downstairs in the dinning room; I think the house elves have prepared something of a Christmas feast, Albus, would you care to join us?"
Harry looked less than please about this but was thrilled upon seeing the boxer shorts that Severus had had to put on in order to keep his dignity in tact. They were his, bright red and covered in golden snitches, they had been given to him as a gift by Seamus during their brief stint as boyfriends. He couldn't help but laugh at the sight of his fully grown lover in such ridiculous garments, even the headmaster cracked a smile.
Harry took his time getting dressed; he couldn't be bothered with anything that the headmaster had to say about their relationship, there was no point in his life where Harry could claim that he had been happier, Severus was everything that he wanted, nothing more and certainly NOTHING less!
By the time he arrived in the dinning room diner was about to be served, full of cream, chocolate and strawberries he wasn't sure he could manage a Christmas feast on top of that but somehow he did. Between the three of them they demolished a good two thirds of the food provided; Harry even managed to persuade Severus to wear a hat that had Mickey Mouse ears attached to it.
Dumbledore had to admit that they looked happy together; in fact he would go as far to say that Harry was doing Severus the world of good, never before had the potions master smiled a genuine smile and joined in the fun and laughter of any festive occasion, it was a completely new side of him. A side that was probably beneficial to everyone especially his students who wouldn't know what to think.
"So we are agreed on the fact that you will give an interview with the Daily Prophet on your relationship." Dumbledore said as he wiped his mouth with his napkin, well he more dapped at his mouth.
"As long as Rita Skeeter isn't the one conducting the interview that is fine," Harry countered knowing full well what the vile woman would turn their relationship into something else entirely.
"I am sure that can be arranged" Dumbledore said, "As of right now I have to be off, thank you for the wonderful diner, I am sorry to have disturbed your evening together, feel free to come and stay with Severus while he is teaching at Hogwarts Harry, it would be a relief to have you back there."
"I assume you know that Voldemort is back Dumbledore, can I enquire as to your plans?" Harry asked, he really wanted to know if he had to do something about it, he didn't exactly want to but it was his birth right, people expected it.
"Maybe you should attend the next Order meeting with Severus and you will find out." Dumbledore said pleasantly but it implied that he thought very little of Harry for fleeing the way in the way that he did.
"Maybe I will" Harry returned defiantly as he showed the headmaster to the entrance hall and they said their goodbyes.
Glad everyone is enjoying the story, I'm glad my sister is as well, anyone for more slashy goodness in the next chapter say YAY in a review, if you don't then there won't be any. REVIEW!
