Chapter 14
The Offer
Harry drowsily moved down the stairs, the stairs creaking lightly with every shift in Harry's weight. His body complaining with every move he made; legs and arms heavy with sleep. The few torches lining the wall flickered softly though they gave a shortage of light.
The yelling, now clearly heard was coming directly from the kitchen, though Harry was too tired to decipher the words, and that the fact was the yelling was starting to hurt his ears. Harry briefly wondered why no one else was woken by the noise, but dismissed it, not wanting his brain to actually wake up because he knew I that happened he would not be able to get back to sleep. Harry yawned as he tip-toed into the kitchen.
Harry blinked, and then blinked again.
One thing that was plausible was the fact that it was Snape and Sirius yelling at each other, but Harry was rather confused to why anyone would be awake at this hour, true Harry had only just got into bed when the yelling started but for half the night he was half asleep.
The thing that wasn't plausible was that Sirius and Snape, from Harry's angle appeared to be…kissing. Harry shook his head, blinked a couple of times and rubbed his eyes till he saw blinking lights He opened his eyes then moved into the kitchen further.
With this new angle Harry was glad to see that Sirius and Snape were in fact not kissing (Which the thought made Harry sick top his stomach), They were standing rather close, but they were glaring at each other with the deepest hatred and had their wands pointed sharply against the others neck.
Harry noted that they appeared totally oblivious to his appearance and kept yelling at each other.
"You're a damn idiot black" Snape spat his black onyx eyes drilling into the others
"Snivellers what the hell do you have against Harry?"
"I have nothing against Mr Potter, the problem lays with you black, making the boy's decisions for him!"
Sirius glares at Snape
"I will not have my Harry…"
"It is not for you to decide!" Snape drawled "It is Potter's decision and his alone!"
"I will not have him alone with you for a fraction of a second!"
"For gods sake black, It it for his health!"
"You just want to get inside his head again!"
Snape rolls his eyes and goes to open his mouth
"Ummm" Harry speaks up, Sirius and Snape turn sharply to look at him "Why are you arguing about me?"
Snape withdraws his wand from it's postilion on Sirius's neck and fully turns towards Harry.
"Potter I have come to offer you assistance in getting rid of this new development between you and the Dark Lord."
Harry gapped at Snape, who gave him an impatient look
"Okay…but there is no way I am doing occumolency with you again!"
"You can either agree or disagree to participate "
"Err…What did you have in mind?"
"I would prefer to speak with you in private" Snapes eyes swerve to Sirius.
"He will not!" Sirius says sternly, not allowing Harry to answer for himself, slightly pissing Harry off.
"Siri, go to bed, for once I want to listen to Snape"
Sirius looks at Harry dejectedly, hurt in his eyes.
"Fine" He mutters, turns back to Snape and glares at him, sending him a silent message.
Snape smirks back at him
"Don't worry mutt, I wont hurt him"
Sirius growled as he storms out of the room.
Harry watched Sirius leave the room then turned back to Snape, who gave him no time in speaking.
"Now that we are alone, Dumbledore and I have been researching extensively about your new linkage with the Dark Lord, but we have found nothing useful. I have been doing my own independent research into muggle forms of meditations, which as you should know is less dangerous then wizard forms of mediation, Hopefully in time it will improve your concentration and your awareness of your dreams, and maybe in time help you put yourself in control of your dreams and how you interact with them."
Harry stared at Snape in shock and confusion
"If you choose to participate, we will meet every Thursday and Sunday in my office, and hopefully it will lead to occumlety, which you failed last year, though it was expected."
Harry continued to stare at Snape, he was confused, Snape was being...civil. A thousand thoughts ran through his mind 'what gave the greasy git the idea that he would do anything privately with hi after last year?' But Harry knew that it would help him concentrate.
"Potter I don't have forever" Drawled Snape, snapping Harry out of his thoughts.
Harry sighed
"I guess I can try" He answered
"Good, we meet every Thursday and Tuesday once school begins." Snape looked around the room then locked eyes with Harry "I'll let you get back to your mutt Mr Potter."
"Professor…"
"Yes?"
"Thanks"
Snape nods his head, turns around and flares out of the room; cloak billowing behind him and head held high. Harry stares after him, amusement on his face.
Harry climbed back up the staircase, he really wanted to go to bed but now his body was fully awake, maybe he would just read or finish that that potions essay that had been looming over his head. Harry went to open his door, but Sirius's closed door caught his eye. A slight guilty feeling rose up in Harry's chest. Harry let go of the door knob and walked slowly towards Sirius's door. He slowly opened the door and was greeted by a pitch black room, his eyes swerved to the window, the heavy maroon drapes closed around it. Harry walked past Sirius stilled figure sleeping peacefully on the bed to the window and opened the drapes, thought the room if it could, became darker. Harry gazed out the window and saw that the sky was a blanket of black, no stars, no moon. Harry sighed and walked over to Sirius's bed; he crawled onto it and sat beside Sirius.
Harry traced his fingers over Sirius's skin, from his forehead along the curve of his neck and to his collarbone. Harry shifted on the bed so he was laying on his side; he brought a hand to Sirius's hair and played with the strands absentmindly while he stared at Sirius, mapping his features with his eyes. Harry was quite glad that the physical signs of Azkaban had left the man.
"I love you" Harry whispered as he continued to stroke strands of Sirius's hair.
Sirius opens his eyes and squints till he sees the shape of Harry, he smiles and searches blindly for Harry's free hand and holds it tightly. Sirius tilts his head and presses his lips softly to Harry's.
"You're 16 yet you know how I'm feeling and what exactly to do about it"
Harry smiles and kisses Sirius on his forehead "Let's sleep" he whispers and in doing so lays against Sirius, his head snuggled against the curve of his neck.
Sirius smiled into Harry's hair and encircled an arm around his Harry's waist.
Harry awoke the next morning from a most arousing dream to feather light kisses being placed on his neck, jaw and cheeks. His morning erection was throbbing painfully for release. Harry opened his eyes, while purring he stretched out, and then sat up, leaning on his elbows. Sirius smiled at him and lazily trailed a hand down Harry's chest.
"Sounds like you were having a rather nice dream, and I must say I am really jealous of the person who gave you that erection though"
"Then you are jealous of yourself then" Harry yawned
"Really" Sirius replied huskily as a hand swept down to Harry's groin.
Harry gasped at the contact and stilled
"Can I?" Sirius asked, trailing a finger across the waistband of Harry's boxers. "Nothing more than a head job, I promise"
Harry nodded and Sirius smiled. In one quick motion Sirius had Harry's pants around his ankles.
"I think I'm going to enjoy this more than you are!" Sirius whispered before resting in-between Harry's legs.
Harry smirked and gazed up at Sirius "I doubt"
"What are you doing Siri?" Harry asked as he entered the study.
Sirius smiled as he looked up from a mountain of paper and books.
"I'm just going over my class plans; after all we only have one week left!"
Harry sighed "When are we going to Diagon Alley, when are we getting our OWL's?"
"I think your OWL's arrive tonight, and tomorrow we are going to Diagon Alley"
"Well at least when we go back to school I can sleep with you!"
"Oh, and that reminds me, you still have signed the student teacher relationship form"
"I haven't?" Harry asked
"No, and you better do it today"
"Where are the papers?"
Sirius pointed to the coffee table, and Harry ran to the table picked up a quill then went to sign his name but paused
"Siri, is there a way to terminate if we run into problems?"
Sirius surveys Harry carefully "Yes" He answered shortly
Harry smiled and signed the papers. Once his signature dried the ink disappeared, signalling that the form was being filed and accepted at the Ministry.
Harry walked over to Sirius's desk and sat on the corner, peering down at Sirius's work
"Do you mind?" Asked an annoyed Sirius
"Nop" Harry answered and continued to watch Sirius
"Of course you don't, but I am trying to work"
"I won't bother you; I just want to watch you"
Harry watched Sirius get back to work, watched him read, write and correct things for a good ten minutes before he got bored. Harry hopped of the table leant over and kissed Sirius on the cheek.
'I love you Siri, but you're boring!"
Suddenly Harry found himself on Sirius's lap with arms surrounding his waist holding tightly; not allowing Harry to escape.
"I am not boring!"
"At the moment you are" Harry answered
Sirius pouted and Harry leant forward and kissed him.
Hey all, I hope it's a bit longer than usual it took me ages to think of what I was going to write for this chapter, but I have a few idea for the next ones.
Have any of you readers wondered why only Harry says "I love you" and not Sirius?
Love,
