Summary: Severus wants to help Draco and Harry get together. He gives Draco tips on how to get the Harry, and at the same time remembers his time spent with James. He hopes Draco doesn't screw things up and hopes Draco gets Harry to go with him to the Halloween Masquerade. They only have one day. Will Draco be able to do it?
Chapter One:
If you were to walk into the Great Hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry at this moment, you would be bombarded by whispers coming from every student, and teacher, concerning what Headmaster Dumbledore had just announced. The only ones not all too happy about the announcement would be Severus Snape, Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter.
"Oh Harry," one Ginevra Weasley, or as she preferred to be called: Ginny, gushed . "A Masquerade, here at Hogwarts. Isn't that wonderful?"
"Yeah. Wonderful." Harry Potter said dully. At the moment, Harry could give a flying fuck about what was to happen at the end of the week. He wasn't one for parties, and he sure as hell wasn't about to dance in front of the whole school, again, and make a fool of himself.
"Come on mate. It isn't every day this happens." Ron Weasley said with a smirk. "I don't even mind this happening."
'Of course you don't,' Harry thought, 'You have Hermione.' And it was true. Ron and Hermione had started going out during the summer after sixth year, and since then Harry had been feeling a bit left out. He thought himself the third wheel, but could care less because then it meant Hermione wouldn't badger him about his homework and truthfully, he actually understood his classes since Ron wasn't next to him to distract him. Instead his partner was now mainly one Draco Malfoy. In Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, Defense Against the Dark Arts, basically every class they had together. This caused the two to form a relationship of sorts so they hardly did any bickering. They were not friends, and yet they were not enemies, so Harry didn't know what to call the relationship between him and Draco, though lately he had started to hope Draco and him could become friends and maybe... a bit more.
"I'm going up to the tower." the dark haired teenager announced to his friends. When Ginny offered to come up with him and keep him company, he declined the offer. 'Probably wants to jump my bones.' he thought as he exited, not realizing that he was being watched by two Slytherins.
Severus Snape, Head of Slytherin House, watched as one of his students left the hall. His eyes flickered towards his godson and smirked. He could almost feel the waves of lust coming off of the boy. He stood from his seat and went towards the young platinum blond, deciding he needed to have a chat with him.
"Draco, a word please?" he questioned, getting the boys attention. When Draco nodded, he led the boy out of the hall and down to the dungeons, heading for his private chambers were he knew the stormy eyes Slytherin would be a bit more comfortable to talk about the subject at hand.
"Tea?" Severus asked, Draco had taken a seat next to the fireplace, he had kicked off his shoes and had pulled his legs up so he could rest his chin on his knees.
"No sir." Draco replied. Severus watched as Draco stared into the fire. At this moment the boy looked like the little child he was when he was 10. "What did you want to talk about Sev?"
"I've noticed for the past two weeks how you have been around Potter." Draco's eyes locked with his professors and widened a fraction. "You have been hiding it well, but I can tell the signs of when someone is smitten with a Potter. I myself was at one point."
"A Potter... surely you don't mean the Potter my age at this moment who walks these very halls." the blond gasped, not liking the thought of his godfather liking the same but he liked.
"God no Draco. What do you take me for?" the black haired man questioned, scandalized. "No I was never and shall never be smitten with Harry Potter. I had taken a liking to James Potter."
"His dad!"
"Yes his dad. For some reason, even though he played those pranks on me I didn't care. I realized I had fallen in love with him. I had told Lily..."
Flashback:
"Lily!" a young Severus called. The auburn haired girl looked over at the Slytherin and said goodbye to her friends and went to see what he wanted.
"Hello Sevvie." she said with a smile.
"What did I... Oh never mind." He pulled her into the Room of Requirement, since they were right in front of it. "I need to tell someone and you are the only person I could trust with this."
"Well what is it?"
"I think I'm inlovewithJames." he said hurriedly.
"Say that again slowly." Lily said with a smile.
"I said, I'm in love with James."
End Flashback
"You... you were in love with James Potter." Draco said with a shocked look on his face.
"Yes and I know you are with Harry. So that is why..." Here Severus paused, not knowing if he should say what he was about to but something told him just fucking do it. "That is why, I am going to help you get Harry bloody Potter."
