I feel I should give you all fair warning, in this chapter there is IMPLIED twincest if you squint. I wear glasses, not big ones, little ones that have a thin frame and look good on me. My long hair is no more, my Mother made me get a hair cut ::sniff:: it's really short everywhere but my bangs which fall over my left eye now and my rat-tail, she made me get one but never specified how to get it cut, so now I look more emo than I did before…my new scars help the emo look.

"I can't believe you did that in front of Mother," Fred laughed when he heard what Harry and Severus had done outside.

"Her face was priceless," George gasped, he was laughing so hard his face was red. Taking a few calming breaths he let is head fall onto his twins shoulder, unconsciously nuzzling it.

"If you are going to engage in any sort of activity with your twin, leave my sight before you do so," Severus growled and rubbed his temples, he had a pounding headache from all of Mollys' screaming. After much discussion, which really means Molly screamed until Harry screamed back then Severus got pissed off and started throwing out numerous threats until they both shut up, he and Harry were able to share a room.

"Are you going to try and smother yourself again?" Harry asked as he sat on the back Severus' thighs again when his soul mate had fallen face first onto the bed and not moved.

"For your information, I am not trying to smother myself, I'm trying to drown out any signs of life around me and I was succeeding until you spoke."

"Well, if I'm such a burden…" Harry began and waited for Severus to interrupt, but the raven-haired man never did. "You know, you are supposed to say something."

"Get off me," Severus growled and knew Harry expected him to turn over onto his back, so he suddenly brought himself to his knees knocking the teen off him. He turned over and laid down on his back only to have climb on top of him and straddle his hips.

"That's not it, you are supposed to say I'm not a burden," Harry scoffed, his ears twitching ever so slightly.

"But you are," Severus retorted and carefully made sure he wasn't the one touching when he heard footsteps down the hall. Moments after that Ginny burst into the room glaring at them.

"Dinner," she hissed and slammed the door shut as she departed.

"What's her problem?" Harry wondered out loud when he slid off Severus and made sure his robes were in order.

Severus ate very little and in small careful amounts incase his food was drugged. He always ate like this, call him paranoid, but he would rather be hungry than dead. Harry saw this and tried not to laugh.

"They're not going to poison you Sev," Harry whispered to his soul mate pausing his Quidditch conversation with Ron, they still weren't best mates again, but close, to do so. He found some of Severus' habits rather entertaining, watching his lover meticulously examine each piece of food before consuming it was rather entertaining.

"I would rather not risk it Harry," Severus growled and ceased. He spent the next twenty minutes as Harry finished eating observing everyone and noticed something particularly interesting. Smirking, his eyes took a not so sane glint in them as he gently breached a mind unnoticed and quirked a brow at what he found.

"Soul mates?" Voldemort inquired, contemplating the advantages.

"Yes m'lord, they've consummated their bond already," she said as she bowed before her master. He would pay for what he did to her, to her family Harry Potter would pay dearly. He would pay with his life.

"Wonderful, you have done well."

"Thank you m'lord, your praise means much to me."

Severus' arm began to burn, he was being summoned, but he couldn't go, not now that he was bonded. So he merely clutched it, gritting his teeth, he could handle the pain, it was for Harry. When that thought slipped into his head he felt a jolt in his chest, a soft pang of fear, was he falling for the boy? His thoughts were cut short by another wave of burning pain, more intense than the last.

Harry watched helpless as Severus clutched his arm in pain. His soul mate didn't make a sound or wince or anything, you wouldn't even know he was in pain if it hadn't been for the fact he was holding his arm. Harry admired the raven-haired man, he was with standing unbearable pain just for him, and it tugged at his heart to know that all this pain was his fault. He knew he was falling for Severus, falling rather hard actually, and for some reason it didn't bother him as much as he thought it would.

He wanted to go over there and do something, hold his lover, touch him, anything to stop the pain, but he knew the pain couldn't be stopped. Walking over to Severus, he wrapped his arms around his soul mate and rested his head on the raven-haired mans' shoulder, nuzzling his neck. This wouldn't stop the pain, but he hoped it would make it bearable.

This sudden embrace surprised Severus, but he would dwell on the soft tug at his heart when he wasn't in excruciating pain.

Rather touching fluff isn't it? If you want the song Zzyzz Rd. send me a review with your e-mail address and I'll send you the song, it's rather good. When will my step-sister understand that just because I like boys more than girls doesn't mean I understand women?
