Damn, I'm hungry, but alas I will not eat until I have finished this chapter so if I keel over and die from starvation you all know why.

Harry woke up to a hot puff of air against one of his cat ears. His eyes fluttered open and went wide when he realized he was pressed chest to chest with his snarky bastard of a Potions Professor. Severus' arm was wrapped protectively around his waist and Harrys' head was tucked under his chin and his tail firmly wrapped high around the mans' thigh.
He turned bright red when he realized how aroused he was by the close contact. Trying not to wake Severus, he slowly tried to disentangle himself from the man but as soon as he made the smallest move Severus' onyx eyes shot open and locked with Harrys' emerald.
They shot apart, Harry blushing wildly, Severus looking uncomfortable.
"Stay on your side of the bed Potter," Severus spat and stormed over to the bathroom, slamming the door before Harry could retort. He was mortified that he would have to masturbate because of a sixteen-year-old boy.
Blushing vibrantly, Harrys' hand slid down his torso and into his sleep pants and boxers. He wanted to get this over before Severus walked out of the bathroom and caught him, taking points away for wanking in his bed. Stroking fiercely, the thought of Severus being only a few feet away for some reason turned him on so much he came nearly biting through his lip to keep from crying out. He had barely managed to cast a cleaning spell when Severus walked out of the bathroom.
"Why are you still in here?" Severus sneered and Harry bolted out of the bed and scrambled out the room at the mans' death glare. He took one look at the rumbled sheets and rolled his eyes. "Potter needs to learn how to cast a proper cleaning spell," he muttered to himself before casting one of his own.

"Where are you going?" Severus growled when Harry walked over to the door.
"To admire this wonderful piece of architecture," Harry retorted gesturing to the door. "I'm going to see my friends."
"You are not permitted to leave these rooms without my permission."
Harry let out a dramatic sigh and turned to face a smirking Severus. "May I please have your permission to leave these rooms and go see my friends?"
"No."
Harrys' jaw literally dropped. "May I please go see my friends?"
"No," Severus smirked. "Dumbledor gave me specific orders not to allow you out of these rooms until our bond is consummated or when we agree when we are going to."
"T-then why did you make me ask?" Harry gapped.
"Because I'm a bastard and take joy in making your life difficult." With that Severus headed towards his private lab and just before he reached the door he paused. "Oh, and Potter, learn how to cast a proper cleaning spell."
Harry felt as if his face was going to explode from embarrassment.

He was bored, no he was beyond bored and moving into catatonic. There was absolutely nothing to do here. With a sigh he got up and walked over to Severus' private lab and knocked on the heavy wood door.
"What?" Severus growled retching open the door.
"I'm bored."
"And how is that my problem?"
Harrys' tail twitched in annoyance. "Because I'm bonded with you and can make your life a living hell, so either let me out of here or entertain me."
Glancing at his potion, which was now ruined thanks to this interruption, Severus sighed. "Then either we complete the bond now or we agree on a time when we will."
His ears twitched as he thought along with his tail. "Some time during Christmas break," Harry said after a minute.
Severus merely quirked a brow, "and why then?"
Blushing Harry avoided Severus' gaze. "Not very many people will be here."
"Why would it matter if people are here or not?" Severus smirked even though he knew full well why Harry didn't want people around.
"Because I don't think I wouldn't be able to look at you without blushing for a week or more. Can I go see my friends now?"
"Return in two hours, I'm actually going try and turn that unused organ in your skull into something."

"OH HARRY!" Hermione shouted and threw her arms around Harry in a fierce hug when the cat boy had walked into the Gryffendor common room. "Where have you been?" She demanded pulling back.
"There's something I need to tell you guys, but you have to promise me you won't tell anyone else," Harry said and lead his friends into the empty boys' dormitory.
"Of course we won't," Hermione assured and sat next to Harry on his bed.
"My soul mate's Professor Snape," Harry blurted. "And I'm bonded to him."

I know, another short chapter, I'm sorry. Things will get longer soon, I just have to get over a few hurdles. Take that chance you've been considering, that was what my fortune cookie said, I don't know what it means yet, but I'll figure it out eventually.
