Harry had dinner in the dungeons with Severus then returned to his room to start some homework. Hermione was coming to work with him. On the way he stopped by the kitchens and grabbed some snacks for them to have while they worked.
He had just set out his books and the snacks when he heard a knock on the door. He swung the portrait open and expected to see Hermione on the other side. Instead he saw Ginny standing dressed in a robe.
'What do you want I'm busy' he snapped. 'I wanted to see you we haven't had a chance to spend anytime together' she pouted.
'Nor will we' Harry glared at her. 'Now if you don't mind I have some work to do' he went to close the door but Ginny put her hand out to stop it.
'Maybe this will change your mind' she opened her robe and revealed what was underneath which wasn't a whole lot. She stood in front of Harry in nothing more than a see through bra and underpants.
Hermione had just stepped out of her room and was walking to Harry's when she noticed Ginny knocking on the painting. She stood back a bit and listened. Harry looked annoyed that she was there and Hermione could hear him telling her to leave.
Her jaw nearly hit the floor when she saw the redhead open her robe standing there in front of Harry half naked. She fumed at what she saw.
'What the hell is wrong with you' Harry seethed. 'Like what you see' she crooned.
'No I bloody don't' he yelled. Before he could say anymore Hermione appeared with a look of utter disgust and fury on her face.
'Detention Ginny was being inappropriately dressed in the hallways.' She growled. Ginny turned and shot her a look of contempt.
'You can't give me detention Hermione you're not a teacher' she snapped.
'I'm a Prefect so yes I can' she snarled. 'Go and put something on you silly girl'
Hermione moved past Ginny and stepped into Harry's room slamming the portrait shut behind her. Harry slumped down in the chair and put his head in his hands.
'What's it going to take to get through to her' he muttered. 'I don't know Harry but something has to I thin you need to go to Professor McGonagall and tell her what's going on' Hermione said gently.
'Maybe I should nothing else is getting through her thick skull' he sighed.
'I will make sure she gets the worst detention possible and I'm sure Severus will make the one he gave her something she will detest' Hermione giggled.
'I don't know how Sev puts up with me?' Harry said 'What do you mean?' Hermione asked.
'All this crap with Ginny being forced to put an article in the Prophet so she would leave me alone, her causing problems in his class and now turning up at my door practically naked, he will get sick of me and leave.' Harry had started to cry.
Hermione moved closer and put her arms around Harry's shoulders. 'Severus loves you Harry we can all see it, nothing that Ginny is doing will give him cause to leave you. She is a very foolish girl and she will learn the hard way if she keeps it up.'
'He deserves better then me Mione I'll only bring him trouble.' He sobbed. Hermione seethed and vowed to give that stupid bint of a girl the most disgusting detention she could think of.
'Harry James Potter that man cares for you very deeply and you do deserve him you both deserve to be happy' now dry your eyes and lets get some homework done I don't fancy getting a detention from your lover.' Hermione grinned. Harry smiled and she felt a bit better.
When she left Harry Hermione went down to the dungeons and knocked quietly on the door. Severus opened it moments later thinking it was Harry. He was surprised to find Hermione standing there and not his beloved.
'Miss Granger what can I do for you?' he inquired. 'I was wondering if I could have a word with you please Professor' she replied.
'Certainly please come in' he moved aside to allow the young witch in he gestured for her to take a seat near his desk and he sat behind it.
'I have just come from seeing Harry and I'm a little worried about him' she began
She explained what had happened with Ginny and the conversation she had with him after she had gone.
Severus was going to hex that stupid girl if he got the chance. 'Harry thinks that you will leave him because of all the things she is doing' Hermione explained.
'Nothing could give me cause to leave Harry Miss Granger' he stated.
'I told him that and I also told him that you both deserve to be happy. We can all see how much you care about him Professor and how much he cares about you' she smiled.
'Perhaps I had better go and see him' Severus said. 'I have put him to bed Professor I thought he could use a good nights sleep' she blushed slightly not knowing how he would react to her saying he shouldn't see his partner.
'A wise decision Miss Granger he is lucky to have you as a friend' he returned the smile
'He is lucky to have both of us Professor' she answered.
They spent a little time discussing the detentions that Ginny would be receiving Hermione's suggestion was by far the best and it was agreed that Ginny would serve both her punishments doing the same thing.
Hermione returned to her room and hoped that Harry wouldn't be too mad at her when he found out that she had told Severus what had happened with Ginny or their conversation after that.
He was like a brother to her and she wasn't going to standby and let him get hurt he had been through too much already.
She climbed into bed and concluded that she had done the right thing. The detention that Ginny was going to be lumped with would surely cause her to think twice before pulling any more stunts.
Harry hadn't gotten a lot of sleep the night before so it took him awhile to get going the next morning. He stood under the shower for a long time letting the hot water sooth his stress and wash away his tiredness.
He grabbed his bag and robes and headed for the Great Hall for breakfast. Hermione and Draco were already there when Harry walked in; the pair immediately noticed that he hadn't slept very well.
Sitting down beside them he made himself a cup of coffee and sipped it slowly not certain he could handle eating. Hermione rubbed his arm and gave him a smile. Her way of telling him that she was here if he needed her.
He was staring off into space when Severus walked past and tapped him on the shoulder. 'Come with me' he said. Harry stood up and followed his lover out into the entrance hall.
Severus took his hand and pulled him into a dark alcove. He took Harry's face in his hand and pressed his lips to Harrys in the most passionate soul-bursting kiss he had ever had. He moaned and thought his knees would buckle with the sheer sensation and tingling that was coursing through his body.
Severus pulled back and looked into those gorgeous green orbs he desired so very much. 'Blimey Sev that was some good morning kiss' Harry panted.
'I hope that it shows you just how much I love and want you Harry' he soothed.
'Hermione told you about last night didn't she?' he guessed. 'She came to my rooms last night she was concerned about you' he countered.
Harry looked away. Severus placed his finger under his chin and turned his head to face him. 'Nothing will ever give me reason to leave you Harry, I love you very much and I don't intend on stopping anytime soon.
No matter what stunts that stupid girl pulls it will not give me cause to end our relationship. You are doing the right thing by ignoring her and not showing that what she does has any effect on you.' He said gently.
'Hermione said I should tell Professor McGonagall about her' Harry said quietly.
'Wait until after she has served her detention if she hasn't backed off by then you can go and tell Minerva now go and eat something you'll need all your energy for when I fuck that delectable arse tonight.' He growled.
Harry rubbed his hand over his groin as he walked back into the hall leaving his lover breathless in the alcove. What that young man did to him was wicked Severus thought as he straightened his robes and walked back into the hall behind Harry.
Severus kept his promise that night. He explored and loved every inch of Harry's body, emitting delicious sounds from the young man as his lover ravished him.
Harry had never felt this intense, they had made love before but Severus took it to a whole new level that night and Harry knew he had nothing to worry about. Severus loved and desired him and that was all he would ever need.
Harry stayed with Severus that night curled up in the safest place he knew wrapped up in his lover's arms. The Potions Master watched as his young lover slept vowing that he would show him just how much he cherished and loved him from now on. Harry deserved the world and Severus was going to give it to him.
Opening his door the next morning Harry heard a rumpling sound under his feet as he stepped through the portrait.
Bending down he picked up a handful of envelopes sitting them on the small coffee table while he got ready Harry felt a strange feeling wash over him, instantly recognising it as the effects of a love potion he sent his Patronus to Severus asking to come immediately
Within minutes Severus had arrived in Harrys room with Draco and Hermione who had seen the Potions Master rushing to his lovers room.
Harry showed Severus the envelopes on the table. The Potions Master waved his wand over each and soon determined that one of them had been doused in a love potion.
'How do you feel?' Severus asked worriedly. 'I feel a little strange but I still love you so that has to be a good sign right?' he shrugged
'A very good sign but I don't want to take any chances so we will go and see Poppy just to be sure' Severus looked worried so Harry didn't argue the point.
Harry sat on the bed in the Infirmary while Poppy waved her wand over him to see if he had been affected by whatever was on the envelope.
'It was definitely a love potion the strongest one I have come across' Poppy said as she fussed beside the bed.
'But as you didn't drink anything and only got a whiff of it coupled with the fact you are a powerful wizard it wasn't able to have any long lasting effect on you.' She mused
'Who sent you the letter?' she added. 'Ginny Weasley' Harry replied. He went on to explain the trouble he had had with her over the last few months.
Giving Harry a clean bill of health she sent him off to the Hall for breakfast. He was very quiet and Severus could see that it had shaken him.
But being the young man he was he straightened his shoulders held his head up high and walked into hall flanked by Draco and Hermione.
Ginny sat at the far table watching to see if the potion had worked, Severus saw her watching and decided to give her a taste of her own medicine. He leant down and kissed Harry before walking to the staff table.
The look on her face was like thunder. Harry chuckled to himself as he piled his plate with food. He chatted away happily to his friends at the table but could feel Ginny's eyes burning into back of his skull.
Draco poked him in the ribs a few minutes later. 'Incoming' he muttered moving his gaze towards the redhead. Harry nodded slightly and continued eating.
'Did you get my letters Harry?' he heard a saccharine sweet voice ask
'If you mean the letters that I turned to confetti then yes' he smirked. 'Your pissy attempt at a love potion did nothing now fuck off and let me eat in peace' he shot her a warning look then went back to his food.
Ginny turned on her heel and stalked out of the hall in a huff. If he thought this was the end of her ministrations to get him to notice her then he was in for a big surprise she thought.
