As you know, there may be some mistakes since I habe no beta. Also, as I was writing this chapter, I changed the roles of two characters - Severus and Remus. No longer shall the two be together. Severus' new role is to be introduced in this chapter and Remus' will come at a later time. Sorry! All the other pairings still stand however.
So, here is chapter four, Hide, which is a Creed song (do not judge me - Scott Stapp is hot o O) so yeah...

Severus shot up in his bed, a thin layer of sweat covering most of his body. After a moment, he heaved a sighed and rested his head in his hands. His last nightmare had been graphic and did not bode well for anyone, especially Potter. Either what Potter had said earlier had really gotten to Severus or it was another premonition, one that he did not have to share.
"Severus, what is it?"
Said man nearly fell off the bed as he jumped and turned quickly, nearly snapping his back.
"Potter, why the hell are you in my bed!"
"I told you I sleep here every night."
Severus glared at the boy who only smiled in response. With a huff, the older man fell onto his side, facing away from Potter, and pulled the covers up to hide most of his face. He had actually forgotten about that rather vital tid bit of information. Severus ignored the shifting of the other occupant of the bed until an arm draped over him and a chin rested on shoulder.
"Severus, you are obviously shaken. What happened in that nightmare?"
"If you must know, Potter, you were killed." Severus' tone was harsh and clipped, as he really did not want to talk about this. "I did not see her face - yes, her - but she had captured all of us in the middle of the night, somehow. When I 'woke,' Lucius was next to me, both of us chained to the wall. You were chained down to the floor, awake as you apparently had been for some time and she was dancing around the room. Laughing..." Severus hated the fact he could still hear that deranged laugh now. "She woke Lucius by stabbing him... then she walked over to you and threw the same knife down into your stomach.
"I had thought it so weird at first that she would choose the stomach. But then she said something about taking the babies herself... so she cut open your stomach and pushed everything aside like a woman possessed - she threw your organs onto the ground! I... I couldn't see what she did after that... but she pulled out two fetuses and bit through the stomach of one... she continued to laugh as she threw the other one away... then reached up into your chest... and squeezed your heart until it burst..."
Severus had rolled over halfway through and a terrified expression took over his face. It was as if he had forgotten it was Potter who was next to him until said man suddenly reached over to turn Severus' head towards him.
"Severus, even if that happens, I will not truly die. Remember? The promise of those who trained me will last as long as my life, no matter how short. Though... the bitch will pay for killing my children."
Potter... Harry... was only trying to make him feel better - Severus could tell by the smile the male gave him afterwards. With a sigh, Severus closed his eyes and chose to ignore when Potter kissed his forehead as he was falling asleep again.
The nightmare turned out much different this time.
When Severus woke again, he was much more calm... until he realized a body was draped over him. His eye twitched as he pushed Harry off of him, almost laughing when the male fell off the bed with a yell. He did smirk however as he stood and looked to the other side of the bed to see Harry laying on the floor, glaring at the ceiling then at Severus.
"Was that necessary?"
"No, but it was a wonderful way to start my day."
While Harry sulked, Severus made his way around the bed and into the bathroom. Severus turned around and stopped dead in his tracks, a strange look taking over his face.
"Potter, what the fuck are you doing?"
"Going to take a shower?"
"... no."
"What! Why not!"
"Because that is what I am doing."
"We can share!"
"Potter... did you lose all sense of personal space during your stay in the other realm?"
When Harry nodded, Severus sighed and rubbed a hand over his face. He was too old for this. Severus looked back behind him - the shower was certainly big enough (for ten people).
"Please? I gotta leave after this."
"Ugh... fine, Potter."
Severus once again tried to ignore Potter - that only seemed to work when he was angered - as said man followed him into the bathroom.
"Dra~aco."
The blonde looked up at Leonius who was draped across his 'desk' (it was really just a table) looking quite depressed. With a quick look around, Draco stood and made his way over to Leonius. It helped that he had passed the test with Tarot cards a few days early and thus, was only continuing his practice. It really did amaze him once he found a competent teacher.
"What is it, Leonius?"
"I am suffering quite the dilemma."
"Why do I have a feeling this talk is going to scar me?"
Leonius only smiled and waved his hand for everyone to continue before gesturing Draco to follow him. The blonde did and soon found himself going through a hidden door into what appeared to be a modern apartment. Draco knew that not a room in the castle looked like this and they were difficult to change, but his thoughts were stopped when Leonius sat and gestured for Draco to take a seat. After Draco was seated, Leonius heaved a sigh.
"Draco... I have two... maybe three things to tell you. All of which I do not how you will respond to."
Draco only raised a brow.
"Draco, as I am sure you are aware of, Harry Potter disappeared several months ago."
Leonius smirked as Draco's face became clouded. Right before Harry left, there had been an argument.
"I am sure I do not care. He-"
"Draco Malfoy, you bloody ponce, you know I did NOTHING to make Blaise break up with you! I beat him up maybe... but it was for a noble reason!"
Draco's jaw had dropped as soon as he was called a 'bloody ponce.' That had been a nickname of sorts Harry used on a regular basis that no one else dared say to him. Added to that, the Blaise situation had been brought up and only Blaise, Draco, and Harry knew what happened that day.
"H... Harry?"
"No, Salazar. Who the fuck else knows about that?"
Harry's sentense ended in a garbled mess of letters vaguely English as Draco leapt from the chair and tackled Harry, pulling him into a hug that nearly forced the oxygen out of him. Harry awkwardly patted the blonde's head before Draco pulled away, glaring fiercely.
"Where the fuck have you been!"
"Um... a different realm?"
"... that would explain why you now look like an adult. An admittedly very handsome one..."
Harry raised a brow as Draco stared for a moment before shaking out of it. Harry would not try anything - nor did he really want to as Draco was practically a brother to him - for he knew who the blonde's mate was.
"No, Draco. My Animagus is not a Grim."
"Dammit."
Harry laughed and pushed Draco back into a seat. "See... that's thing number three I am going to talk to you about. Before that!" Harry suddenly turned serious. "I have bascially become the new Dark Lord, that title only applying to me because the Epitome of Light has already been taken. My ideals are somewhat similar to Voldie's in the fact that I want to keep Muggles out as they will only destroy us. HOWEVER!"
Draco blinked a few times.
"I do think we need the Mudbloods and what not. Don't say a damned thing! If Purebloods keep marrying Purebloods, deformities will run RAMPANT in the children. Trust me, I know."
"And you're telling me this because...?"
"I want to know if you wish to join me in my endeavour to change the Wizarding world."
"What about my father?"
Harry had to bite his lip to keep from laughing. "He joined awhile ago... remember that dead puppet thing in the Great Hall?" Draco nodded slowly. "Yeah... my idea, but he helped. Of course, he just laughed... little arse. Severus went all premonition trance mode on me so I had to control his puppet."
"Severus is involved as well?"
"I told him I would not brand him like the insane Voldie. So, he agreed. Which also leads to problem number three."
"You will have to give me a day to think on that. However, go on with number three. This sounds interesting."
Harry glared at Draco's amused smile which was borderline innocent. "Well... I believe I am falling for them both." Harry waited as an awkward silence reigned over the room in which Draco just stared at him. It passed like this until Harry was close to squirming until Draco started laughing.
"And now you can't decide between my dad and Severus!"
"... pretty much."
"That's priceless. Anyway, what's happened so far?"
"I sleep with Severus every night and took a shower with him this morning."
"... wow. Well, go for him first. Then my father will likely become jealous and do everything in his power to get your attention at which point you must get them both agree to a triad."
"A what?"
"Harry, did they teach you nothing? A triad is a threesome, except it extends beyond just the bedroom. Three people willingly agree to basically share each other until death."
Harry nodded, a pensieve look on his face that made Draco laugh as he stood. "You think on that. I have to go - my next class is soon. We will talk more about this. All of it."
"Of course, of course. Be off with ye."
Draco rolled his eyes and snuck out the door, leaving Harry to sit there and think on his own. Maybe it was time to see Severus again. Harry smirked as shadows twirled and danced around him until nothing was sitting on the chair any longer.
Severus hardly reacted when, later that day, shadows began to dance around the other side of the loveseat. In fact, he did not look up from the book as Harry formed, sitting perfectly still. He did, however, make a face when Harry once more deemed it necessary to kiss his face. What the hell had gotten into that boy? Severus' eyes followed Harry as he made his way into the small kitchen.
"I thought you were... enamoured with Lucius."
"Yes, well, I am rather attached to you as well."
"I take it you spoke to Draco."
Harry laughed and made his way over, a glass in his hands, to take the seat once more. "How did you know that?"
"I have a feeling Draco was the only one to help you decide what to do with this problem of yours."
"Oh yes... help he did. He told me about a triad."
Severus raised a brow - was Harry really planning on such a thing? With him and Lucius of all people? He forgot how very strange Harry could be at the best of times.
"Where is Lucius by the way?"
"He is doing your dirty work at the Ministry. Paying to have trusted individuals take over high-up positions and what not."
Harry nodded, sipping at whatever was in the glass he had brought with him. Severus shrugged and returned to the book in his hand, effectively ignoring Harry as he read. However, this did not last as long as the older male would have before Harry deemed it necessary to make his presence known... by moving to straddle Severus' lap. Dark eyes peered over the top of the book, a brow raised.
"What?"
"What, exactly, are you doing, Potter?"
"I am attempting to molest you."
"You can attempt as long as your little heart desires but that does not mean you are going to get the reaction you so seek."
Harry pouted and took Severus' book with a huff, throwing it across the room. Severus stared at his now empty hands while his expression remained unchanged. When Severus deemed it 'safe' to look up, a second passed before Harry's lips were pressed to his. Until Severus let himself relax, which only took a few moments if he was honest with himself, all he could think was that he hoped Lucius could keep his wrath in check when he found out.
So yeah... that is what Severus now is... I don't know why but I felt the need to change that so Remus is important, but not until LATER! Anyway, review?
