Chapter 3
Harry's sleep was restful that night. He could not seem to get Ron's words out of his head. You're a twisted pervert! I slept in the same room as him! Harry didn't think that Ron would react that badly. Of course, he was not sure if Ron approved of gay people to begin with. But Harry had no idea that he would disapprove that much. That night, when Ron returned from classes, all he did was give Harry a cold stare and walk on past him purposefully running into his shoulder, and went to his four-poster. Upon seeing, and feeling this, Harry knew that their friendship was over. There was nothing he could say to change Ron's mind. If anything changed, it would have to be because Ron changed his mind. Yeah, like that will happen. I'm just happy that Hermione is still my friend. Harry thought, trying to find a bright side to his predicament. And I have Draco. This really helped to brighten his mood.
As he slept, he saw no images. All he saw was black. Nothing but it. But, he only heard Ron's voice. Over and over again. Starting to get distressed Harry said,"Ron, Ron please. I'm sorry I didn't tell you!" Harry mumbled out loud. "Please Ron." He was turning back and forth on his bed. The voice in his dream was only getting louder. He tossed and turned in his bed when he soon shot up, cold sweat pouring from his face. God, what have I done? He looked around to make sure that he had not woken any of his classmates. He then spared a quick glance at his former friend before he quietly got out of his bed and tiptoed to his trunk. He grabbed his invisibility cloak and put his regular school cloak on. He then exited the room and left the Gryffindor Common Room altogether. Making sure no one was around, he placed himself under his invisibility cloak and went for a walk around the school to try and clear his mind. I guess it is a good thing that I told him though. At least I got it over with. he thought.
While he was walking around his thoughts wondered to his new boyfriend. I am glad he changed. Just think, if he didn't decide to quit Voldemort, we would not be together right now. He told himself. I wonder what he is doing now. he ask himself. He is probably all curled up and contempt in his bed in the Slytherin Common Room. I wish that was me. Harry knew that he would have to go back to his room soon though. Joy. he thought sarcastically.
As Harry was walking down the corridor, he heard someone else's footsteps from around the corner. He stopped abruptly, afraid that they would hear him. He couldn't get caught. It was too early in the year.
He soon figured out that they were going the opposite direction from where he was. He quietly peeked his head around to see who it was and found someone unexpected.
Draco.. what is he doing out of bed ? He thought to himself. He then noticed where exactly he was. He hadn't been paying attention while he was thinking. Of course.. I just had to walk to the Dungeons.
Harry took off his invisibility cloak and tucked it into his school cloak. He then tried to somewhat smooth down his hair to make himself appear better, which helped nothing as always. He then composed himself and turned the corner to head for his boyfriend.
Draco, upon hearing someone else's footsteps in the corridor coming towards him, turned his head quickly almost as if in panic. Something very unlike the Slytherin boy. His face soon relaxed though, as he saw who it was that was coming.
"Harry. What are you doing here? And what happened to your lip?" Draco said to him then gave him a kiss. They pulled back and looked at each other.
"I will tell you later Draco. But what are you doing here?" Harry turned and noticed that they stood in front of Professor Snape's room. It only gets better.
"You will see." Draco replied. At that moment the dungeon door swung open to reveal the Potions Teacher in all his glory.
"Draco.. I already know who this person is." Harry said bitterly.
"Harry," Draco said, ignoring his boyfriends comment," I would like you to meet my godfather."
------------------------------
"You're godfather?" Harry said disbelievingly. "But how?"
"Potter must you be so dimwitted." Snape quickly scolded him. A smirk then came to his face. "What are you doing out of your room at this hour anyway? 100 points from-"
"Severus !" Draco quickly interrupted. Snape stopped talking and turned to his, not, godson. "Please. Harry is down here with me. We are seeing each other now and I think that is reason enough."
"Oh. I see." Snape glanced from one boy to the other. He didn't seem bothered by the fact that they were dating. But he certainly wasn't ecstatic about his godson dating his long time enemy. Harry could tell this for sure. Snape said, "Fine, come in then. Don't want you getting caught Draco." He let the two boys into his classroom and walked them to the back and through a door that Harry had never noticed before. Harry gasped at what he saw. Snape had his own house more or less. A kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a study.
"Wow Professor. This is amazing." Harry gawked.
"Yes," the Professor said smugly. "I suppose it is."
The two boys went and sat on the comfortable leather couch side by side while Snape went to get some tea. Harry wasn't sure what to tell Draco about the whole Ron incident. Maybe I shouldn't tell him yet. But Harry knew that sooner or later he would find out. And it would be better if he heard it from him then from anyone else. That would be a disaster.
After a few minutes of silence between the boys, the professor entered the room with a tray in his hands. On the tray were 3 mugs already full of tea and a kettle. Snape handed each boy a cup of tea then one for himself. He then set the tray down on the coffee table and sat down on the nearby armchair. Before he could start conversation with the boys though, Draco turned to Harry and asked,"So what happened Harry? Did you tell Weasel and Mudblood?"
Harry looked at Draco skeptically and replied,"Ron and Hermione, Draco. And yes.. I told them." He stopped there, not saying anything more and simply taking a sip of his warm tea. He knew that they would ask for him to continue.
"And.." Snape said. Apparently he wanted to know more as well.
"Well.. Hermione didn't mind. She said no matter what, I would always be her friend."
"Ah how touching." Snape said smirkishly. "And what about Mr. Weasely?" Draco looked at Harry waiting for him to reply to his godfathers statement.
"Well.." Harry wasn't quite sure what to say. Should he say that Ron was only dissaproving, or actually give them the whole story? After debating the matter, he decided to say this:"Well.. let's just say that he wasn't as understanding as Hermione." He stopped there then added another comment hoping to make what he just said less confusing. "Remember when you asked about my lip Draco?"
After a few moments, realization sprang onto Draco's face. "He did that to you! Why I oughta-"
"No Draco it's fine. If he doesn't like me because of that then maybe we shouldn't be friends anyway." Harry then took another sip of the cooling tea while the other two just simply stared at him. "And it wasn't the fact that I am dating you Draco. It's just that I am gay."
"Potter, just because he does not approve of your.. likings.. does not mean that he can hit you." Snape told him.
"Yeah? Since when did you care Snape? For the past five years all you have ever done was make fun of me or find a reason to make Gryffindor suffer because of me. Even when you knew I did nothing wrong."
Snape looked down shamefully then said,"I have cared since Draco told me that you two are seeing each other."If you are a part of Draco's life and he likes you.. then I am going to try as well."
Well this has been a day of surprises. Harry looked up at the Proffesor and smiled. "So are we starting all over then?"
"If that's all right with you." Harry nodded and the two leaned together and shook hands.
"Well, now that I have given you two my explanation," Harry sighed,"I think you owe me yours." Harry said, nodding to Draco.
"What's there to explain Harry? Severus is my godfather. Lucius appointed him that when I was born." Draco stated matter-a-factly.
"So does that mean that you are on the Light Side too Professor?" Harry asked.
"It's Severus, Harry. And yes, I also converted to the Light Side."
"Oh okay. Just making sure." He paused then said,"Well what were you doing down here Draco? Why aren't you up in your Rooms?" Harry asked his boyfriend.
"I am staying here now Harry. As you probably know, most people who are in the Slytherin House have parents who are on the Dark Side." Harry nodded. "Now that they know I am on the Light, we don't get along very well." Draco finished quietly
Well that makes sense. I wouldn't want to stay in a room with people who wanted to kill me either. "Oh, I see. I wish I didn't have to stay in my room." he said gloomily.
"You don't have to Harry. You are more than welcome to stay down here with me and Draco. As long as you two don't snog in front of me or anything like that." Severus finished with a look of disgust on his face.
The two younger boys laughed then Harry exclaimed,"That would be great Severus! Thanks so much!" Harry launched himself onto his teacher and hugged him.
Severus was about to complain about what happened, but then he just relaxed and hugged the smaller boy back.
"Thanks Sev." Draco said calmly and hugged his godfather once the two finished. He then turned to his boyfriend and hugged him as well then kissed him lightly.
"Well," Snape said, "what are you waiting for ?"
"What do you mean?" Harry responded, puzzled by the older mans statement.
"Go up and get your stuff Harry." Draco said laughing at his stumped boyfriend. "You can stay here tonight!"
------------------------------
Harry ran up the flight of stairs under his invisibility cloak and through the Fat Lady's door. He ran up the stairs leading to the 6th year boys dormitory. He then slowed down and quielty opened the door. He was relieved to see that all of his friends were still asleep. He didn't feel up to making any excuses. I can finally stay with Draco!
He quickly, though quietly, packed his trunk with all of his property and once done he headed for the door. Finally, out of here. I can't wait to finally be rid of the insolent- His thoughts were interrupted with a hand on his shoulder. He was paralyzed in fear. He could of sworn that everyone was asleep when he came in. And he knew that it wasn't Voldemort because his scar wasn't hurting. Then, an ice cold voice spoke softly into his ear.
"Where do you think you are going?"

Comments to reviewers
sword - Well thanks for the first review ! On the second one, I told you at the beginning of the story that this was a HPDM slash. I don't see this as you see it. You can keep on reading if you wish. There will be no sex scenes. Mainly just kissing and hugging and stuff of that nature. If that still freaks you out then I am sorry. But thanks anyways.
