Part four: Acceptance
In the morning Severus, dress and then went quickly down to the green house to look for the flowers he needed to make up a bouquet for his wooer, one with the perfect meaning for Snape's answer to his suite. An hour later the dark wizard had a large bunch of Lavender and Jonquil, which he knew meant returned affection. As the pale man looked down at the flowers, he smiled with satisfaction Severus took the flowers inside and placed them in a vase of water to wait to be used later in that day.
With this now done the dark haired man settled down at his desk and marked his papers. When this was finally done Severus let out a sigh and looked at the clock nearby, it was already lunch time, the dark haired man found himself grateful that the day was passing quickly. As it always was on a Sunday lunch was produced by one of the house elves, he sat staring into space for a while, than after a few moments the Potions master shook himself and settled down to eat lunch.
With lunch gone the Potions master sat forward which caused his dark hair to fall forward, a pail hand reached up to touch the oily hair and he sighed. "I need a shower." The head of Slytherin couldn't quite believe that he was actually considering making the best of himself for this meeting. Not that, as far as he was concerned there was much to make the best of, still somehow going to see his mysterious man with his hair oily like this, seemed wrong after all of the other wizards effort.
Quickly Snape stood, he pulled off the outer robes putting them on the back of a nearby chair, slowly he took of the under robe putting that with the outer robe, quickly he took off the rest of his cloths and put them on the same chair before heading into the shower.
Little did the dark wizard know that his own preparations for that evening mirrored those of the one who was wooing him. Harry stepped out of the shower into the bed room to find Ron and Hermione waiting for him. "You're sure you want to do this?" The red head asked softly.
"You've asked me that so many times I think I'm going to scream. Yes Ron I am sure, if I didn't want to than I wouldn't have started this." Harry said with mild amusement before he turned serious. "I know you where both upset that I didn't tell you until after potions that day but I told you I wanted to see how Severus would react." Hermione politely turned her back on her friend; quickly the seeker got dressed and slipped an identical ring to Severus's back on to his wedding finger.
"Look we understand that now and well mate, all I can really say now is good luck." The red head said with a deep sigh.
Hermione turned back round she gave the brown haired wizard a quick hug. "He'd be crazy to say no to you."
Harry smiled at his two friends. "Thanks you two." With the black hooded robe, shrunk and hidden in his pocket Harry quietly left the tower. The green eyed wizard hastily made his way to the class room he had designated in his note to Severus and set to work on the room.
Quickly Harry made sure no light could get in and ruin the affect he had planned. Once he was happy that this was so, he cleaned the room with a few spells. When this was done Harry placed a few spells on the door, one so that only Snape could open the door and another so that it would lock after the professor came in. This last spell Harry made very sure that only he would be able to dismiss it. Carefully he placed magical candles round the room, some floated in the air above and other sat on surfaces, waiting for his lumos spell to light them.
Happy with the room, the brown haired man drew his black hooded robe from his pocket, with a quick flourish the green eyed man brought the dark robe round himself, before he carefully drew the hood up. Now concealed Harry moved across the room and hid in the darkest corner of the room to await the man he loved.
Severus stared at himself in the mirror for once his hair actually looked decent, and not as if he had forgotten to wash it for a month. He hated the fact that as soon as he brewed some potions his hair would end up an oily mess again, Snape loathed to admit it but he preferred it when it was freshly washed and looking fine and silky.
He looked at the time, the dark eyes widened, it was already half past five. Quickly the dark wizard pulled his outer robes, with a calming breath the Potions master took the bouquet of flowers and set off for his meeting with the man who had been wooing him.
The dark wizard came to the door to the classroom, he could feel the magic on the door, but knew it was not focused on harming him. Carefully he hid the bunch of flowers behind his back, then Severus opened the door, he quickly stepped inside, Snape let the door shut, he heard it lock but did not turned round to look at it. Instead the dark man looked round the room, it was completely inky black, and this did unnerve him slightly. "Hello?" The Potions master asked the seemingly empty room quietly.
"I am here." Came the voice of the man who had wooed him from the darkness. "Lumos." He said softly, a small gasp escaped the lips of Severus as the candles lit and cast a golden light round the room. "It is time Severus." The hidden man told him gently.
"I know."
"Then pray how do you answer my suite?"
Severus stepped towards the man, who met him in the centre of the room. Slowly the dark wizard brought the flowers out from behind him and held them out to the other man. "For you."
The calloused hands came out of the sleeves, the younger man's hands shook slightly as he took the flowers from Severus. "Returned affection, then do these mean what I hope?" The younger man asked him the voice shaking slightly.
"Yes, my answer to your suite is yes." Severus said his voice gentle.
The hooded man let out a relived sigh. "Thank you Severus."
The Potions masters hand's came out he reached towards the hood of the robe and stopped short of the edge of it. "May I see you now?"
"Yes Severus you may." The younger man said quietly.
Gently the dark wizard gripped the edge of the hood and pushed it back. The black eyes went wide, he couldn't quite believe who was now standing before him. "Harry..." Severus whispered completely surprised.
Noticing his shock, the head of the young man dropped and his shoulders drooped. Quickly Harry pulled the hood of the robe back up, the emerald eyed man started for the door as he went he pulled the wand out to unlock the door. Suddenly realising that he was intending to leave Severus snapped out of his stupor, quickly he gabbed Harry's arm and roughly pulled the brown haired man back to him. "No don't go!" Not wanting to be hexed or shouted at for his actions the Gryffindor fort Snape's hold on him.
With a few quick movements the dark man subdued these actions, once Harry was no longer fighting him Severus, spun the smaller wizard back round towards him, swiftly he pulled the hood back from the head of the younger man. "It's really you, you did all this for me?" He asked staring intensely into Harry's eyes.
The younger man nodded once. "Yes of cause I did, I love you."
With a small smile, which rendered the usually sour man quiet handsome, he leant in and kissed the shorter man strongly. Harry's eyes shot wide, then closed as he leant into the kiss, before putting both arms round Severus, the dark wizard placed his hands onto Harry's waist drawing him close. Their body's met and both men groaned, softly they drew back from the kiss and looked at each other. "Did you like my two gifts Severus?" Harry asked the other wizard eventually.
"Yes I did I felt that the pendant was most practical of you, as for the ring." Snape lifted his left hand showing it to Harry. "I haven't taken it off since I received it."
Harry showed the man he loved his own left hand. "It looks like we were thinking the same thing. You seemed to be happy that I am the one who was wooing you."
"I am actually happy, this whole time I had been hoping it would be you, but never really quiet believing that it would be you." Slowly a hand came up, Severus cupped Harry's cheek with his hand and stroked it with a thumb. "I'm still finding it a little hard to believe that this is happening. What will your friends think though?"
The young man smiled at Severus. "They already know and have accepted that I am in love with you and intend to have you for mine."
"And you will be mine Harry." The dark eyes glowed with desire.
"I am already yours Severus." Harry said to the older man.
The dark haired man eyed the green eyed wizard quiet openly. Quickly the dark wizard swept his over robes off, the older wizard hurriedly pushed the dark robes off of Harry, a tremor ran through the younger man, he let out a shuddering gasp and looked up at the man he loved.
Severus stared back down at Harry, his dark eyes had somehow become even darker, and all at once, the Potions master was pushing the green eyed wizard to the wall. The younger man squirmed in the grasp of the elder wizard, their body's where flush and Harry could feel every part of the dark man including the hard length that was pressed into him. "You want me..." The young man whispered to him softly.
"Yes. I do." Severus assured the man he now held ruthlessly to the wall. "I want to take you, I want to marry and keep you forever."
The young wizard smiled softly. "Then do so Severus."
This was all the dark wizard needed to hear, the dark wizard began to undress the man he loved carefully. The Gryffindor returned this gesture, undressing the older man before leaning in and allowing himself to surrender to Severus completely...
