Chapter 2

The next day seemed to just drag by very slowly. It was saturday so there were no classes this day. Hermione walked into the library where Harry now spent most of his time. He looked up when he heard the loud thunk of a big book across from him on the table. Hermione raised her eyebrows slightly at the title of the book Harry was reading. Nine simple ways to make an everlasting scent potion by Erik Faw'er. "Really Harry, just what scent do you plan on capturing? I know a few I enjoy. Oh and have you seen Ron I can't find him?" Harry shrugged as he stopped reading the book to look up at her, unsure if he should sware her to a wizards oath and tell her about what he had planed for tonight. He would need a cover and he felt could trust Hermione if only her. A wizard oath in place he would feel safer though and not have to worry about it slipping. "Havent seen Ron sence after breakfast...but I think he is with that one Ravenclaw girl he told us about. um and Hermione...I want to talk to you about something but not here. Let's find someplace without prying ears ok?" Hermione gave him a look that seemed to say FINELY. She stood without a word motioning for him to fallow her out of the library.

Harry put the book back in its rightful place, swung his book bag over his shoulder which he had started carrying the last few weeks. Because of all the extra work he had been doing called for a book bag. "So...Um I am thinking about signing up for Iceburgle. I know what you're going to say Hermione and don't. You know as well as I do that Quddich is much more dangerus then Iceburgle." Hermione looked at him as if he had just grown a second head. Yet said nothing as they made it to the room of requirements wall. Hermione passed in frount of the wall a few times than sighed as the door opened to allow them in. Once inside harry took in his surroundings, turned and stared at Hermione. She had made the room of requirements into small library. Harry chuckled a bit and sauntered over to a comfortable green plush chair, slinking down into with a sigh of relief. "Harry? I don't mind you signing up for Iceburgle... It just attests to what I have known for a while now does it not? and as for what you wanted to tell me? If you are going to tell me you're a puff then... well.. I already know that, I was just waiting for you to tell me it" Hermione smiled like she had just won her own gold medal.

Harry swallowed and looked down at his fingernails as if they were a part of the topic. "You have me there Hermione. I like men yes..but before you start in about how you told me so..you should make yourself ready." The heat in the room felt like it had been kicked up a few hundred degrees. Hermione nodded trying to look calm when he could see she was trying not to bounce in her seat. Harry nodded, took a deep breath letting it out a few times to calm himself from getting to worked up to talk about Severus before the oath. "So Harry you do realize that Iceburgle is kind of like male figure skating... but only with the ice broken up and shoes that hover low much like brooms would... right?" She said trying to distract him for freaking out too much. Harry laughed softly as heat burned his cheeks in embarrassment. As it was known that only male wizards are allowed to play it. Harry nodded looking back down at his shoes "Mione, I trust you...but it would make me feel better if we took a wizards oath that what I am about to tell you will stay a secret for at lest the next ten years...If I even live that long"

Harry swallowed harshly. "Oh, Harry what ever it is you know I wont tell anyone, But if it will make you feel any better i will sware by my magic and by my wand that if it ever leaves my lips I will never be albe to speak again after." Harry looked up as Hermione pointed the wand at her wrist and a thin golden cord seemed to glow around her wrist then settle in becoming invisible. "Ok, Um Hermione I...I am going to have a one night stand tonight because he does not know who really am but he does know I am a student...and"Harry paused taking a deep calming breath. "It's Severus Snape...and before you say anything I love him...I have been harboring this deep profound love for him for the last two weeks. Don't tell me someone can't fall in love in such a short time because i know better. Now are you mad at me." Harry bit his lip waiting for Hermione to start screaming at him waiting for her to say something about how it was wrong. He heard a sniffle then he felt his shoulders being encased by a crying Hermione. He Looked up and she smiled weakly at him as she sat back down. "Harry, I don't know what to say. I am a bit surprized by your true first in love experience being... well him..but I am just happy you told me, you should not have kept it hidden from me so long Harry. You are like the brother I never had and you know it. although I can understand why you did not come right out and say it, it is something that will take even me to get use to, but if it is what you want then I wont stop you. Merlin knows I have a crush on someone I should not..." Hermione blushed deep red but decided sence they were sharing truths she could share her secret crush to. " If you want to know, I am in love with Minerva McGonagall, so you're not the only one. yet unlike Snape and you I wont be happy with just a one night stand...but I understand harry trust me."

Harry Grinned at her, standing he gave Hermione a big hug and they both cried a bit before he gently pushed her away. dropping into the chair feeling like a large pressure was lifted off him. He nodded at her " I am so content and glad that I told you Hermione." She just smiled at him brushing away a strand of hair that had fallen in her face. "So..harry about this thing tonight...You want me to cover for you? because I can" He laughed nodding at her, knowing she could do a very good job at keeping people on a wild goose chaise. "That was the plan on why I wanted to talk to you, if you could use your wonderful scary skill to keep people thinking I am in bed maybe..." Harry gave a smirk that could have put shame to Malfoy's signature Slytherin smirk. Harry nodded again smiling at Hermione, he all but strutted out of the room of requirements. There were a few things he needed to do before tonight and one involved a lot of fabric and a costume with a mask to hide his face.

Severus was very irritable more so then usual at lest for him anyway. Part of the reason was he was the students that had not gone to Hogsmeed. Closely to try and find one that would give away who the mr or miss anon was. Yet much to Severus's displeasure none seemed to even look at him and tended to give him to much space. maybe it was the dark scowl he had on his face. Could be the anger that seemed to be rolling off him in waves. Severus could not find one face among them that gave any hint as to who it could be. Although there was one face that he had not seen much of today. The face that every time he seen it with those damn glasses that reminded him of his old school days with the bastard's father who use to pick on him. So Severus decided to go find the brat and see what kind of trouble he was getting into this time. That is when he saw him he had to stop short because something was off about the strut the boy had. Severus have never seen Potter strut like he was doing right at that moment. Like he had just come from sticking his hand a in cookie jar, Severus narrowed his eyes and watched closely to see why the brat seemed to damn happy for the first time this year.

Harry practaly pranced twords Gryffendor tower then he remembered he would need help with a costume. There was only one person harry knew that could pull off a excellent costume with a mask as well. Harry really did not want to talk to him but he needed to. So turning on his heel he headed to the place where Malfoy was this time of day. It was a bit scary that Harry always seemed to know where Malfoy was but Harry took it in stride. Soon Harry was standing in front of the slytherin house wall. He whispered the password watching as the wall slid to the side he entered. Much to the surprize of a few first and second year Slytherins who were eyeing him like they had just spotted mold growing on their favorite broom. That's when the slytherin prefect came into the room saw him narrowed his eyes." Who would have thought to see you, of all people here Potter. We already have one of your kind visiting on a regular basis. If I did not know any better I would say the Gryffendor's secretly love us Slytherin's." Harry scowled at him doing a very good job because the prefect did look a bit taken aback. "I need to Speak with Malfoy, If you went and told him, i would be out of here faster, or do you secretly enjoy having me here?" Harry smirked as the Slytherin prefect almost tripped over his own feet to go find Draco.

Draco was kissing Seamus hard, pulling on the dark curly hair as thrust his hips agnst him. Inwardly he was laughing at how many Gryffendor's seem to secretly have crushes on slytherin's. It was kind of sad really, but then most Gryffendor's carried around a lot of secrets. Unlike slytherin's who seemed to only have a few or them only because the less secrets the less one would have to worry about having anything hidden in their closets. Then a knock came to the door Seamus jerked back so fast jumped under Draco's bed before he could even take a breath. Draco glared at the door but got up to see who it was anyway, just because the person would not stop knocking and it was starting to piss him off. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT!" He shouted as he yanked the door open growled at the prefect who looked about ready to wet his pants. "I I um..Potter Is in the common room he wont go away unless he talks to you, Draco" Scowling at the prefect his eyes cold as ice Draco just sighed. "Send the Gryffindor up here then, may as well have a bloody party at this rate." Seamus stayed under the bed much to Draco's irritation. There was another knock at the door this one was not as urgent as the last one had been so it could only be, "Potter, what in the bloody hell are you doing here. You know I don't like you so why?" Harry ignored him walking past him sitting down on one of Draco's favorite room chairs. Then with an air as if he had not just heard Draco. "I need you to make me a costume, with a mask that will stay on though anything, and that will hide my face really well. I can pay you 100 gallons which is more than I would ask of anyone but i know how greedy you can be. I need it before 8pm tonight. Oh and as I'm making the order on such a close time frame make it 200 Gallons? if that would suit you?" Harry smirked at him while Draco seemed to just stare at him as if he had just lost his mind.

"Well, Potter even if I do despise you, and I do that is just too much money for me to pass up on one costume. You do realize i will be getting the better end of the deal? Right?" Harry's smirk grew into an almost wicked grin. "Oh I know, Malfoy, but you are the only one who can make a grand yet simple costume in such short a time and make it look good. Oh and don't tell anyone it is not something I will wear while I am still at Hogwarts at it would give away my true identity to the one I don't want knowing...If you understand what I mean?" Malfoy Just nodded then said "Any color you want the fabric will it be?" Harry's already almost wicked grin got wider. "Slytherin green, Gryffindor red, Ravenclaw blue, and Hufflepuff bronze. Make the blue and green more the red and bronze less. Oh and make it mostly black, it needs to be sexy but comfortable so if in ten years say. I would decide to wear it without the mask that it would not become stiff with age. I will send you the 200 gallons to you once I can get to my bank valt. I will pay you. trust that." Then Harry stood shook Draco's hand and walked out of his room. As soon as Harry was gone Seamus climed out from under Draco's bed not saying anything for a second so Draco could calm down. "Seamus? Pretend you did not hear that, I was sworn to a wizards oath to not say anything so don't ask me about why he was asking for a costume ok?" Seamus walked up wrapping his arms around Draco he said softly. "Don't worry He has more secrets than any man I know he has never really trusted anyone with the full truth without a bloody wizard oath. Besides Harry is after all my friend and I trust his judgement, what ever it is he hiding he has his reasons."
