'Care to explain to me what that was all about Harry?' Minerva asked with a confused look.
Harry told Minerva that Ginny had been harassing him since before they returned to Hogwarts, he had done everything in his power to ignore her advances even going as far as putting an article in the paper about him and Severus.
'I had wondered about that' she commented. 'It was the only thing I could think of at the time that might stop her make her see I had no interest in her.' Harry sighed.
Severus then explained the redhead's behavior in his class and the fact he had to resort to levitating the girl to get her to move. Minerva chuckled at that.
'That's why she has been requesting to swap classes then?' Minerva mused
'What do you mean?' Harry asked
'She has been requesting to change courses for the last week or so, now that I think about they are all the classes you are taking Harry'
He blew out a breath in frustration, 'I don't want her in anymore of my classes its bad enough she is in one let alone all of them.'
'She will not be changing her selection Harry I have made that very clear.' Minerva replied.
'From now on I will keep a close eye on Miss Weasley I don't think she will attempt anything else but I will watch nonetheless. I'm sure Molly and Arthur won't be pleased to hear what she has been doing.
Harry scoffed and at the strange look he got from the Professor went on to explain what Molly had come out with at the Burrow.
'You leave Molly Weasley to me Harry' she grinned. Harry had a feeling that Molly would have a hard time getting one over on the Headmistress. For that he was grateful.
He and Severus left the office hand in hand a while later. Harry thought he would be going back to his room but his lover led him down to the dungeons.
Without saying anything he led Harry into his bedroom stripped him off and laid him down on the bed. 'You don't have to do anything my Harry just lie there and let me love you' he whispered and reveled when Harry shuddered beneath him.
Basking in their post love making haze Severus turned Harry so he was facing him. 'Do you know how much I love you Harry' he soothed 'As much as I love you?' Harry smiled. 'I have wanted anything more in my life more than I want you.' Severus kissed Harry gently.
'When the school year is over I want you and I to get married' Severus looked at Harry with more love in his eyes then he had ever seen before.
'Really' Harry gasped not quite believing what he had heard.
'Yes when the school year has finished. You are everything that I will ever want Harry I want to spend the rest of my life with you' Severus started to get choked up. 'Yes I will marry you Sev you are my whole world' Harry beamed.
The next few days passed without incident. Molly had sent a curt letter to Minerva about the treatment Ginny had received. Harry had been delivered a howler that he disintegrated before the screaming started. Things were finally getting back to normal or so he thought.
The day of Halloween Harry was in his room tearing it apart looking for his quill. He had emptied his bag three times so far and no luck. In the end he resigned to the fact that his quill had gone to where all lost quills went.
Not wanting to risk being late for class or missing out on breakfast he left the room in a hurry. Whilst rushing to the hall he tried to remember when he had last used his quill.
The previous night in his room he had been writing some notes for an assignment but then had started to get a headache so gave it up for the night and went to bed. He would just ask Draco if he could borrow one of his for the day until he got a new one.
As the exams loomed closer the 7th years had been given free time to study. Harry had also been helping Hagrid with the unicorn foals, which had been a good distraction from having to look at Ginny.
She was still giving him swooning looks every time he walked into the hall. A lot of the time he didn't go the hall he ate in his room or with Severus.
He took a seat beside Draco and grabbed a piece of toast. 'Can I borrow a quill from you Drake' he asked between mouthfuls.
'Sure but what happened to yours?' Draco asked rooting around in his bag for a spare quill.
'Have absolutely no idea, that's why I was a bit late this morning I was tearing my room apart looking of the blasted thing' he mumbled.
Draco handed his spare quill to Harry 'don't chew the end of this one I don't it want back with your slobber on it' he grimaced. Harry just laughed and shoved the quill into his bag and kept on eating.
Potions was first then Herbology. The headache that Harry had suffered the night before seemed to be making a return. He put it down to lack of food and the fumes from the potion they were making.
As he was leaving Severus called for him to stay behind. 'What's the matter my love you have a pained look on your face?' Severus said putting his arms around Harry.
'I have a headache, it started last night but started to come back just before' he replied rubbing his temples.
Severus released his hold on Harry and went to one of his cabinets. 'Here take this pain relief potion see if that helps' he said giving Harry the vial.
Harry swallowed the potion and placed the vial on the desk. 'I better get to class' he said 'You're not having second thoughts about last night are you?' Severus asked concerned.
Harry put his bag down and wrapped his arms around Severus. 'Not in a million years I love you and can't wait to be married. The headache will go away. Now kiss me then ogle my arse when I leave the room' he wriggled his eyebrows 'I'll do more than that lover' Severus purred.
The greenhouse had a very Halloween feel to it as Harry and his friends entered for their lesson with Professor Sprout. Carved pumpkins lined the benches covered with spiders' webs that Harry was certain were the real things.
That day's lesson was focused on leaping toadstools. Professor Sprout instructed the students to fertilize these plants with dragon dung. The smell was overpowering and the headache that had started to vanish was making a hasty comeback. Some students could not handle the odor at all and became quite ill.
Harry was glad for the fresh air that filled his lungs when they left the greenhouse sometime later. As the day was pleasant enough the group chose to sit outside and enjoy the morning break. Harry thought the air might help his headache.
Charms and Transfiguration were the final lessons for the day. Harry showered and changed then met Hermione and went the hall for the Halloween feast. Scary faced pumpkins floated above the ceiling in the hall and candles bobbed up and down beside them. The tables were covered in the usual decorations.
Harry hadn't realised how hungry he was until he saw the array of food on the table. Sitting down and pulling a plate towards him Harry piled his plate with yummy goodies and began to eat.
A cursory glance around the hall he noticed that Ginny wasn't anywhere to be seen. Good he thought he didn't want to be turned off his food. He was just contemplating a piece of his favorite dessert when he felt something brush over his groin.
Deciding he had imagined it went back to his treacle tart, he was chewing away when he felt the sensation again. He looked into his lap and couldn't see anything except the embarrassing erection he seemed to have.
Harry glanced towards the staff table thinking for a split second it was Severus under the table, but seeing is lover seated in his chair removed that thought. He went back to his tart and tried to ignore the feeling.
He froze seconds later when he felt what he was sure was a hand undoing his zipper. Draco was sitting beside him and he thought maybe he was playing a prank.
'Drake' he whispered Draco looked at Harry. 'What's wrong he asked noticing the strange look on his friends face. 'Someone is playing with my cock' before he could get another word out his cock was incased in something wet and warm.
'I take that back someone is sucking me off' he gasped.
'What' Draco hissed looking from Harry to his godfather who was still seated at the staff table?
Harry grabbed his member and shoved it back into his pants as he leapt from the seat like something had bitten him. Draco had risen too and both young men were looking under the table for the miscreant.
Severus looked up from his plate and saw that Harry and Draco were frantically searching under the table for something. He was about to move towards them when he saw Harry aim his wand under the seat and mutter a spell.
Finite Incantatem Harry shouted as he waved his wand at the space he had just occupied. The spell revealed that Ginny Weasley crouched under the table.
Harry was wild with anger, his eyes blazing and his breathing ragged and uneven.
'You disgusting slut' he roared shaking 'What the fuck is wrong with you, is there no end to your constant pathetic need to get my attention are you that desperate for a shag that you resort to hiding under tables and sucking people off.
'I suppose you are because I certainly wouldn't let you do it willingly. Get it through your thick fucking head I DON'T WANT YOU!' he bellowed
'How dare you call me a slut' she roared 'You will pay for that Harry Potter no one calls me that and gets away with it' she shrieked running from the hall
'Don't you threaten me bitch' Harry screamed after her. He was shaking with anger and when Draco tried to calm him he pushed the blonde away and ran from the hall.
Severus moved follow Harry when Minerva stopped him. 'Leave him Severus let him calm down then go he will not listen while he is in that state'
He knew that Minerva was right he would go to his lover later. Something about Ginny's words had left him feeling unsettled.
Minerva had left the hall in search of Ginny so Severus took the opportunity to go and speak to Draco and Hermione. Keeping his voice low he asked the pair to meet him in his rooms.
They followed him from the hall and remained silent until they were in the potions classroom and the door had been locked and sealed with a silencing charm.
'That girl is up to something' he said pacing the room
'What do you mean Uncle Sev?' Draco asked
'The way she said that Harry will pay for calling her a slut there was something in her eyes that to me meant she had something planned we haven't heard the end of this' he sighed.
'What do you think she will do?' asked Hermione
'I really don't know it wont be anything good especially if she involves her mother' Severus replied.
He sat down at his desk with his head in his hands. Draco and Hermione took that as their cue to leave, but before they went promised Severus they would keep an eye on Ginny and let him know if Harry came back.
Draco and Hermione left the classroom and headed towards the entrance hall oblivious to the fact that they had been followed.
Ginny moved from her place in the dark alcove of the dungeons. She silently moved up towards the main part of the castle hoping that McGonagall didn't see her.
She thought that Harry might have run down here to hide in the dungeon bats classroom but she had seen any sign of him.
Something occurred to Hermione while she and Draco walked back towards the entrance hall. They took a detour going to the Great Hall instead. Professor McGonagall was near the staff table talking to one of the Professors.
Hermione kept her voice low as she told Minerva about the idea she had to track Ginny down. Minerva nodded and went to her office.
