Harry was furious about this detention. He knew Severus always hated him and was out for him. The man had to know most of the students said the same about him all of the time. He seemed to take pleasure in the fact the kids thought that he was a vampire of sorts. But Harry knew he would just face worse if he went to Minerva for help over this. He knew his dads would tell him the same if he went to them though Sirius may rail against him having to be in detention with the man. Harry told himself it was only two days of detention.

As Harry headed down for the dungeons after dinner his mind was on just getting through this all in one piece. He had never in his life wanted a detention with Filch. He would have cleaned floors or toilets or anything else with him any day.

He groaned as he got to the door to the classroom. 'Here goes.'

Severus looked up from his potion when Harry came into the room. "Almost late Mr. Potter."

Harry grumbled when the man motioned him in. "Almost."

Severus turned off his potion. "Keep with the attitude and you can make it three nights."

Harry held his tongue on another bite. "Of course professor."

He was surprised when the man headed towards a door. "Follow me."

Harry had never seen the other door. "Where are we going?"

Severus turned back to look at him. "Worried I am taking you to my rooms?"

Harry tried to hide the red in his cheeks. "Of course not."

Severus had an odd twinkle in his eyes. "My private potions lab."

Harry was uncomfortable as they entered. "Why are we in here? I thought I was cleaning cauldrons."

Severus watched him. "Anxious to scrub them are you?"

"Perhaps worried what other chore you have for me."

Severus instead motioned to an apron. "Cut the slugs."

Harry was confused. "The slugs?"

Severus smirked. "We need to work on your basic skills."

Harry grumbled as he put on the apron. "I thought that this was detention not tutoring."

Severus reminded him. "And here I believe you said potions were torture."

Harry could not deny that as he had grumbled it more then once over the past six years. He had got more detentions from this man then any other professor combined which wasn't hard. Unlike the twins Harry really didn't get into trouble that much and it was Minerva who caught him. But he didn't see the man taking it easy on him like this. Potions may seem torture to Harry but Severus didn't agree with him on that. He always had some cauldrons or specimen jars for his victims to clean up for him at detention. The twins had told him some horror stories of what he did.

Severus watched the boy work on the slugs and knew he had a point. He would never have allowed potions to be used as a detention before. But he decided that tonight called for a change from the usual detention root for him.

Harry finished the slugs and looked at him. "What next?"

Severus took the board. "Not too bad."

Harry grunted. "Your godson has been making me them do them for every potion."

"He was trying to save his potions."

Harry reminded him. "Our potion has only exploded once. And we know the cause."

Severus smirked. "I recall years of close calls with Mr. Weasley. Hopefully after this weekend Draco wont be so worried."

Harry started on the next task. "Plan to turn me into a potions master in a weekend?"

Severus didn't find it funny. "Plan to make you at least a competent third year potions student."

Harry grunted. "I remind you that I am in seventh year potions. And passed with an E on my OWLs."

Severus could give him that. "Seems sure dumb luck you passed that test. You passed the courses due to Miss Granger."

Harry didn't deny that. "I think she is slightly relieved to be paired with someone other then me or Ron now."

"She and Miss Parkinson make a good pairing. Miss Parkinson's skills seem to have been improving."

Harry raised an eyebrow. "Admitting one of your precious snakes is not perfect at potions?"

Severus grunted. "I don't see all Gryffindors being transfiguration stars do I? And Mr Nott."

Harry gave him that. "You sound like your godson."

"We have more then one thing in common."

Harry felt a shiver running up his back as the man was watching him. He was reminded of the moment with Draco in the stands and what he swore had almost been a kiss. He wondered if that was what Severus was talking about but he shook away the thought. He highly doubted Draco had run to his godfather and told him any details about a near kiss with Harry in the stands. It was not something Draco would brag about no matter how close he was to Severus. Harry was very close to his dads but he hadn't run to them with the moment either.

Severus turned to him when the potion was simmering. "It seems you aren't totally useless."

Harry took off the apron. "Does that mean I can forget about tomorrow?"

"If you would like to clean cauldrons instead." Severus reminded him.

Harry grunted. "Maybe I will earn my second compliment ever. Not totally useless?"

Severus came closer to him. "I am sure we could find other talents."

Harry felt the man so close he could almost feel his breath and turned away from him. "I should get to my rooms."

Severus got right up behind him. "You are head boy. You can be in the hall after curfew."

Harry felt the breath on the back of his neck. "I should be setting a good example."

The man's hands took him by the shoulders. "Good example? Is that not why we are enjoying tonight."

Harry tried to pull away from him. "I really need to be going."

Severus pulled him in close and whispered in his ear. "I look forward to tomorrow."

Harry pulled away from him and hurried towards the door. "I have to go."

Severus called before the door shut behind him. "I will see you after dinner."

Harry escaped through the halls and he tried to calm his breathing as he went. He could feel the breath on his neck and the hands. He was going warm under the skin when he thought about what had happened with the man. Harry could not understand this and he wondered if he had taken a blow to the head. Maybe he was unconscious in the hospital wing and this was all some kind of dream. One snake trying to hit on him had been shock enough. But two of them were just way too much for him. And the fact one was his professor was just too much.

Severus once again found himself in a shower. "This could be fun."

Ron was grumbling the next morning about having to clean all the toilets on the first two floors with a toothbrush the night before. He looked at Harry and asked how bad his had been. Harry had of course not told his friend what really had happened in his detention. He was still having real trouble believing it himself. He of course told Ron that he had been busy cleaning cauldrons all night and Severus promised him specimen jars tonight as the cauldrons were done. Ron was happy he had only got one night of detentions. Hermione just reminded her best friend and her boyfriend that they should have watched what they were saying in the hall. She had tried to remind them that they shouldn't take out like that.

Harry left dinner early but he wasn't certain why. He told himself it was so the man could not grumble about him being late and possibly try and get him for another detention. But really Ron was continuing on about the detentions and snakes and Harry needed to get away.

He was shocked when he got pulled into an alcove. "What are you doing?"

A voice whispered in his ear. "No red heads around."

Harry was shocked when he turned around. "What are you pulling Malfoy?"

Draco pulled him in close. "Your little friend interrupted us last time."

Harry pulled back from him. "He interrupted nothing."

Draco drew him back in. "Well no one around now."

Harry tried to pull back. "I need to get going."

Draco's hands went to the front of his robes. "Oh but you left dinner so early."

Harry stopped his hands. "I have detention."

Draco pulled Harry in, as his hand continued on Harry's zipper. "My Uncle wont mind."

Harry moaned as Draco's mouth went to his ear. "Its not you he will give a months detention to."

Draco's mouth left his ear only for a moment. "Oh maybe I can join you."

Harry tried to force himself to push Draco away. "I don't think he plans on company."

Draco came up for air and smiled. "Either do I."

Harry went to move past him. "Both of you will have to find some other fun."

Draco snagged him. "Snakes always get what they want."

Any comment was cut off from Draco by a newcomer. "And what is that?"

They both turned to find Severus standing behind them and Draco was surprised. He didn't even attempt to look ashamed or bothered his Uncle had found him like this. His Uncle had told him more then once he had been looking at Harry. He had warned Draco about the potion and that he might fall victim to it. Draco decided to have a bit of fun with the potion he really didn't see the harm in some fun in the alcove. Now he just had to convince the little lion that he was going to have as much fun in the alcove with him as well.

Severus could see his nephew was hot under the collar and Severus could admit he was going a bit red himself. He had seen the boy leave and he had gone down to the dungeons to find him. He had been surprised not to and had come looking.

Severus smirked. "Mr. Potter you are late."

Harry looked at the time. "I am not."

"You are also not standing in my classroom yet."

Harry grunted. "Well its not my fault."

Severus looked at his nephew. "You should be studying."

Draco looked at his Uncle. "It's a Sunday and I was just having some fun."

Severus motioned to Harry to come. "Your cauldrons await."

Harry grumbled as he followed. "I wasn't the one who dragged me in there."

Severus didn't have trouble believing him. "That is why you are not getting an extra detention as long as you watch your tongue."

Draco called before they disappeared. "Will have to find you soon."

Severus led Harry back into his lab. "Finding yourself in alcoves with my godson?"

"Watch it professor you almost sound jealous."

The man looked like he would do something but snarled. "Get to the first step before I change my mind."

Harry found himself working on slugs once again. He wondered why every potion seemed to need these bloody things in them. If the man thought he could build on Harry's skills he could at least give him different tasks to try he thought. There was only so good one could get at cutting slugs. Severus ground his teeth when Harry said it out loud but he did give him a new tsk that night.

Harry was surprised when they ended early. "Thought you may keep me later."

Severus came around behind him. "We wouldn't want you to miss curfew."

Harry was shocked when the man's hands went around him. "What are you doing?'

Severus whispered in his ear. "Helping you with your apron."

Harry felt his hands though stray to the front of Harry's pants. "Those are not my apron."

Severus' hands remained in place. "Fine and flexible."

Harry bit back a sound. "That is not my wand."

The man turned him around and pressed him against the table. "Oh but it can create magic of its own."

Harry whimpered as the hand traced him through his pants. "You are my professor."

Severus pushed him back against the table. "Its permitted as you are seventeen. We are both consenting adults."

Harry tried to get himself to move but he could feel himself hardening. "I am not."

Severus leaned in close and lapped at his ear. "Your fine cock is telling me else wise."

Harry struggled against the heat in his body and his desire not to move. "We can't do this."

Severus pulled back a bit. "My godson is an untrained boy. We can have some real fun."

Harry went to leave. "I don't plan to bed any snake."

Severus called after him. "It doesn't have to be a bed."

Harry practically ran from the room as the color was running through his cheeks. He thankfully made it back to his rooms before anyone spotted him. It was him in the cold shower that night though he wasn't alone at it either. He tried to tell himself that he should tell his dads or the headmaster. But he knew he couldn't or he wouldn't. His dads would rip the man apart and the headmaster he wasn't sure. Severus had never actually forced himself on Harry and he was right about it being okay if they were both consenting.

Harry reminded himself as he climbed out of the shower. "No more detentions. You just have to keep away from them until this potions wears off."
