A couple of hours later, Albus Dumbledore was knocking on the door. Severus knew it was him, as they had a special knock. He opened the door and let Albus in.

"How are things?" Severus asked and sat down in a chair.

"Everyone will be fine. Remus has taken them all back to Hogwarts. We captured the death eaters, there were three of them. Lucius Malfoy and surprisingly two unknown death eaters. They are now taken care of by the ministry. I still do not know how they found our headquarters. How come you did not know of this? It was to my belief that you knew Lucius rather well." Albus explained after joining Severus in the living room.

"Indeed. They have been getting suspicious lately. They do not trust me in the way they used to. I attended Lucius' Christmas feast the day before yesterday and he did not mention this. The next meeting should be in a week and I should be able to gather some information then."

"I do not want you to go back if we are not sure they trust you."

"But you don't have anyone else as close to the Dark Lord, do you?" Severus objected.

"You are right, but still I want you to be safe." The headmaster said in a caring voice.

"I will go to the meeting, if I feel that I am not safe, I will portkey back."

"I can not stop you, can I?" Albus said dejectedly.

"No."

"I would like you and Harry to stay here for at least two days. I will contact you then. I brought some of Harry's clothes. I have to leave now. Take care, Severus."

"Good night." Severus nodded curtly and watched the headmaster disappear.

"Potter, wake up!" Severus shouted as he knocked on Harry's door.

"I'm already awake." The boy smiled as he opened the door. "Was Albus here?"

"Yes, a few hours ago. He said that we are to stay here for at least two days." The man replied. "Time is already eight, would you like some breakfast?" He asked.

"I don't…" Harry began but he was interrupted by Severus.

"Let me be more specific. What would you like for breakfast?"

"Umm…well, toast would be just fine."

"Very well. I will go make breakfast."

"Do you want me to help?" Harry offered.

"No, although you may keep me company if you wish." Severus snapped and left the room.

"Do you like cooking?" Harry asked as he sat down on a stool next to the kitchen table.

"Quite. I do not dislike it, nor do I enjoy it." Severus replied as a matter of fact.

"I see. Just tell me if you want any help, as I'm rather used to cooking."

"Thank you, but I am very much capable of it myself." The teacher said softly.

"You know I didn't mean it like that." Harry protested.

"Indeed, but I think you could do with a few days of rest."

"I suppose."

"Here you are." Severus placed a plate with toasted bread in front of Harry. "Would you like butter and marmalade?"

"Just butter, please." Harry answered and sipped on his tea. "You know, I don't understand why my dad and Sirius hated you so much." He said after a while.

"I do." Severus had prepared himself for this discussion. "Your father was one of those kinds of people that are very loyal to their friends, but also very mean to their enemies. He did not like me from the beginning, mostly because I am a Slytherin but also because of the fact that I did not have any friends, which made me an easy target. Your mother was different though, she did not have any prejudices." He said calmly.

"I'm just… I'm just so ashamed of my dad." Harry murmured. "I just can't see why he had to do those things to you."

"I have got over it, really, Harry." Severus said soothingly. "However, it is not your fault and no one blames his actions on you." He looked at Harry and added. "Harry, eat."

Reluctantly and slowly Harry ate a small piece of bread.

"Harry I need you to promise me not to throw up again. I will be very disappointed in you if you break that promise." The teacher said seriously.

"I will try, okay?" After meeting Severus' eyes, he added: "Fine, I promise I'll try. Satisfied?"

"Never." Severus chuckled slightly.

"I should have known."

"Indeed." He said. "What do you want to do today?"

"Anything. You decide."

"What do you like to do?" Severus asked patiently.

"I…well I suppose it would be nice to just relax." Harry shrugged.

"Specify yourself."

"Oh, I don't know…"

"Very well then." He said. "Have you finished eating?" He looked questioningly at Harry's half eaten toast.

"Yes, I'm full."

"I see." Severus said doubtingly. He waved his wand and the table was cleaned. "Follow me." They exited the kitchen.

"You see the door over there?" The teacher asked.

Harry nodded.

"It is the bathroom. Go take a hot bath and I will give you massage when you are done. I will wait for you here. There are clean towels and bathrobes in the bathroom." He explained.

"Okay, thanks." Harry smiled and walked towards the bathroom.

"Harry? Don't throw up." Severus muttered after him.

Three quarters later, Harry returned from the bathroom, wearing nothing but a pair of tight boxer shorts and a bathrobe.

"There you are." Severus acknowledged him. "Remove your bathrobe and lie down here." He ordered and pointed at the levitating mattress he had conjured.

"Err…okay." Harry blushed slightly as he removed the bathrobe.

"Harry, why are you blushing? You have got absolutely nothing to be ashamed of." Severus said certainly. "Now, lie down." He added and watched Harry oblige.

Severus placed his hands on Harry's back and felt the boy tense immediately.

"Relax. You know I am not going to hurt you." He began massaging Harry's back and arms. "If it feels uncomfortable, tell me." The man moved down a bit and massaged the boy's legs.

"It feels great, really." Harry moaned slightly, causing Severus to smile.

"Turn around." Severus commanded. He kept on massaging Harry's feet and legs. As he touched Harry's lower thighs, he noticed Harry's erection.

Harry blushed fiercely as he realized that Severus had noticed his erection.

"Are you aware that you are rather pretty when you blush?" Severus said before thinking.

"Sorry?" Harry blushed even more; his face was now in the same shade as the Weasley's hair.

"Nothing." The man did his best to keep his face expressionless and he cursed himself quietly.

"Did you just compliment me?" The boy grinned.

Severus ignored the question and moved upwards and finished off the massage with Harry's torso and shoulders.

"Get dressed." Severus snapped when he had finished the almost one hour long massage.

"Thanks, that was like the most amazing thing I've ever experienced." He murmured shyly.

"It was nothing." The man mumbled.

"Well, it wasn't nothing to me." Harry said quietly.

"Albus brought some of your clothes; I believe they are in your room." Severus said, pretending he did not hear what Harry just said.
