Harry Potter and the Betrayal of a Mentor
Chapter 9
"YES!" said Harry louder than he needed to, Harry immediately latched onto his lover, almost squealing like an exited wife.
Harry had always wanted a family, and someone to love him for just who he was and just as he is. That dream had come true, and he had never been so happy before. He smiled longingly, how he wished his parents would have been alive for this day, but that didn't matter he had other family. Ginny, Neville and his parents, they were like a family he didn't have. The Weasley's were no longer his family, and they had received bad publicity as well. Nothing had come of them befriending him for his money, that made him smirk revenge was truly sweet. Ginny was not receiving bad publicity because she was married to Neville Longbottom, a hero of the wizarding world. Severus and Harry were also sharing the spot light. They were more onto Neville than the others, only because they could not find Harry or Severus. They were safely away from the media, and people always asking them stupid questions. Harry was brought out of his musings by his soon to be husband.
"Thank you Harry" said Severus softly, kissing his lover with all he had, pouring all his emotions into that one kiss, which left Harry completely awed and breathless.
"Are we still going to the Longbottom's?" asked Harry softly.
"Yes," said Severus, he had promised to go, and he would not let them down. Plus it was better for Harry to get out, and be around someone his own age.
"Ok," said Harry, he looked down and watched as Severus put the ring on his finger. Severus had the other, Harry put it on.
"Come on love, lets go" said Severus.
"Are we telling them?" Asked Harry sounding exited at the thought of telling everyone of his love for the man.
"Yes," said Severus smiling softly, glad Harry wanted to tell anyone. He had begun to realize Harry was not ashamed of him or being with him. Now the realization was sinking in, and was actually beginning to believe Harry was not ashamed of him at all. Severus didn't understand why, he had been an evil man, horrible person. Especially to the one who was currently in his arms, having just put the bonding ring on his finger?
"Lets get going, we can leave the ornaments to later" said Harry.
"I'll apparate us love," said Severus, wrapping his arms around Harry, inhaling gently at Harry's scent.
Harry relaxed completely in Severus' arms, Severus choked up, someone actually trusted him. Trusted him so completely, it was a new and strange feeling, one he was glad for none the less.
Apparating them away, Severus vowed he would never do anything to break that trust Harry had in him. Sighing softly he let go slightly, but kept Harry's hand in his, Harry still leaned into him. They both walked up to the Longbottom manor, the manor wards accepting them immediately.
"Severus! Harry! It's good to see you both" said Alice smiling in welcome, she certainly looked better than she had when she got out. No longer milky white, she had a healthy flush around her.
"Good to see you both" said Frank softly,
"You both as well, so how is everything?" asked Severus walking in, giving the house elf his jacket.
"Well we have had a load of visitors, including Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, they are a waste, disgusting snivelling that Dumbledore betrayed them, and that because of him they had betrayed what was left of their pack" she said.
"I see, and what did you say about that?" asked Severus smirking slightly, knowing Alice would have given them a piece of her mind.
"I told them exactly what I thought of them, they didn't stay long after that" said Alice smirking herself.
"Good" said Harry an angry look on his face.
"Anyway enough about us! How are you two?" asked Alice, she noticed Harry looked better and was much happier since the last time she saw him. It was almost as if that talk had taken a huge weight of his shoulders.
"Good, we will be setting a wedding soon, and Frank I was wondering if you would be my best man. I don't trust anyone enough to do it otherwise" said Severus softly.
"I would be honoured!" said Frank nodding his head.
"Harry is there something you want to say?" Asked Severus noticing his husband had opened and closed his mouth a few times.
"I um…don't have anyone to give me away, I was just wondering if you would?" asked Harry uncertainly. One of the husbands had to come down to the front; it was obvious Harry had picked his place as the wife.
"Oh Harry! I would be so happy too! Your mom would be so happy" said Alice hugging Harry for all he was worth.
"If you want a wedding at all you will let him go" said Severus sounding more amused than anything.
"Oh I'm sorry dear!" said Alice flushing a dark red as she let him go.
"Its ok" said Harry softly.
"Did I hear right Harry…your getting married?" asked Ginny coming down, looking more of a princess than ever. She had nice expensive clothes on and she wore some of the jewellery Harry had given her. She looked like royalty, especially with the deep dark red colour she wore.
"Yes, me and Severus, I hope you come" Harry trailed of, smiling happier than ever.
"Oh Harry, congratulations…I'm so exited! Have you set a date?" she said hugging her best friend.
"Oi, get your hands of my wife Harry," joked Neville coming though more confident than ever.
"Don't worry Nev, I don't want my sister, I will be getting married myself, but I do want your wife to be my sort of brides maid I suppose" said Harry softly.
"Wonderful idea" beamed Alice.
"I would love to Harry" said Ginny beaming more than ever.
"We have not set a date, however if Harry wants to we will organize one now" said Severus Harry still firmly at his side.
"Soon, it's up to you Sev, I don't mind when as long as I marry you" said Harry laying his head on Severus' shoulder.
"Well a month's time?" asked Severus.
"Fine with me," said Harry kissing Severus softly on the neck.
"You leave all this to me! I will organize the wedding! You just have fun someone has to sort it otherwise there will be no wedding at all!" said Alice exited.
"Well just make sure it's the best of everything, that's all Harry deserves the best of everything no matter the cost" said Severus kissing Harry softly back.
"Oh don't worry it will be!" said Alice nodding her head.
"Good, so are we going to settle down for a chat or what?" asked Neville.
"Oh Sorry Severus, Harry come on sit down and we can chat properly!" said Alice.
"Sure" said Severus, all of them went and sat on the couches and chairs in the sitting room, the colour scheme was blue and looked light and airy.
"Do you want a reception or Church?" asked Alice softly getting a note pad out.
"Church" said Severus adamantly.
"Very well" said Alice writing a huge list of everything down.
"Who is going to be invited?" asked Alice softly.
"Phew not many I don't think, McGonagall, Flitwick all teachers at Hogwarts I suppose apart from the Defence teacher" said Severus. They had been there for him when he needed it, however, little.
"Invite Remus and Sirius, this will be their last chance" said Harry.
"Harry I don't want them at my wedding" said Severus keeping his anger in check.
"Please Severus, I just want them to know that I am happy, I will never forgive them. But you of all people should know how manipulative Dumbledore can be, if they start anything I want them portkey'd away. You will Portkey them there so they will not be able to come back. Of course you Neville, Ginny you, anyone else you would like. As long as you trust them." said Harry softly.
"Fair enough, I will have two people watching every move, I will invite my cousin Reese, Damon, Sebastian they are the only family I have left. They are in different countries and have not spoken to them in years. Of course they can invite their families as well" said Severus.
"I didn't know you had family" said Harry softly looking up at Severus.
"It's just not come up Harry, plus I know how sensitive you are when it comes to families" said Severus.
"I have one, Ginny, Neville, Frank and Alice" said Harry; he had gotten really attached to them really quickly.
"Fair enough, now what has the Doctor's at St. Mungo's said?" Asked Severus sitting forward.
"It's completely gone, its like we were never cursed in the first place, they have decided that we should be allowed to use a de-aging potion, allow us to be young again and its better than having old weary bones that have been under the curse" said Alice.
"Good, so I take it you are going to?" Asked Severus.
"Yes, yes we are" said Frank.
"Thinking about having any other children?" asked Harry his face just full of curiosity.
"We might, Neville was ripped from us at just one year old, it was unfair and we would love to experience seeing a child growing up. We will need to see what the doctor says first" said Alice smiling softly at Harry.
"It will be nice for Neville to have a younger brother it's a nice idea" said Ginny nodding her head.
"Yeah it will be nice to have a brother" said Neville smiling softly at his mother.
"I'm glad you all agree, now anyway enough talk about that," said Alice.
