Allo! Cordyangel here. This is so strange, the regular updates thing. I haven't ever really completed a story this fast so this is new for me. Thanks to all my reviewers and I hope to get another chapter out by…Sunday. Or maybe Saturday? I don't know yet.
And cookies to everyone who guessed the deep voice was Snape. I really don't think I could write another Harry Potter fanfic without him in it…that's like…blasphemy.
Chapter 10: Wherein The Jig Is Up
"What in Merlin's hell are you doing?"
Harry turned with Draco in his arms to face none other than the esteemed Potions Master and double spy Severus Snape.
"Snape?" he asked, dropping Draco unceremoniously and quickly tightening the sheet about his waist. "What are you doing here?"
"I was looking for…" he turned to Draco. "I was looking for you."
"You were looking for Darcy?" Harry asked, confused.
"No, I was looking for-"
"Snape?" Draco said, his voice quivering with disbelief. Harry must've mistaken it for fear however.
"Oh don't worry Darcy, he's not evil. I forgot you didn't know. He was a double agent. Whatever you might've seen him do or heard him say, he didn't really mean it," he said slowly before turning back to Snape. "Though that does not excuse his presence in my house. How did you get in here?"
"The door was open," he said simply, his eyes narrowing as he looked from Draco to Harry to Draco again.
Draco knew he had to get Snape away from Harry as soon as possible. Somehow, he knew that he was Draco. "Uh, I think Snape and I have something private to discuss. Would you mind giving us a moment?"
"Of course not," Harry said, rather perplexed. "Just, go into the bedroom or wherever."
Draco took Snape's hand and led him to the bedroom as fast as he was able.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Draco asked the moment the door was closed. "And perform a damn Silencing Spell!"
"I asked you first and," he looked at Draco strangely, "why don't you do one?"
"Because whatever spell has given me ovaries also took my magic!"
"So you really are a woman? Anatomically, I mean?" Snape asked, circling Draco.
"Yes," Draco hissed. "What did you think?"
"Really, going in drag wouldn't be beyond you if you thought the alternative was Azkaban. And you didn't lose your powers most likely. Powers are linked to emotions and as a woman, you are probably a bit more emotionally unstable…not that we need to get into this. Who did this to you?"
"Voldemort," Draco said darkly.
Snape's eyes widened considerably. "And when he died you didn't-"
"Get my cock back? No, I didn't."
"It's okay, we can get it back, don't worry-"
"Sev-"
"We don't even really have to reverse the spell, we could just give you a potion-"
"Sev," Draco said again, this time a bit louder.
"Or I've hear wonderful things about Muggles and their "Hermions Replacements". Perhaps we could try that-"
"SEV!" Draco yelled as loud as he could. "I don't want to be a man again."
Snape squinted at the blonde. "I'm sure the Ministry would give you a pardon, you needn't worry about that-"
"No Sev, that's not it. I'm in love."
It was as if Draco had said he was Snape's by blow, he was totally silent.
"Severus?" Draco asked, waving a hand in front of his face.
"You're what?" he sputtered.
"In love. With Harry."
"Draco…the war was over last week. A week ago. You cannot fall in love with someone in a week."
"But I have! And he loves me."
"He doesn't know who you are!" Snape cried.
"He doesn't have to!"
"What if the spell wears off, what if it isn't permanent, what then?"
"It won't matter," Draco said, jutting his lip out.
"Like hell it won't! You two have been enemies since you stepped onto Hogwart's grounds! What makes you think he'll still love you once he learns the truth?"
"I just know!" Draco said defiantly. "I don't want to talk about this any more."
"You're going to have to tell him, sooner of later," Severus said, opening the door.
Draco pretended he didn't hear him.
