18. Getting found out

Harry watched Draco as he slept, their legs tangled together, one of Draco's arms over Harry's stomach while his head rested on the other. He couldn't take his eyes off the blond boy. He looked like a little angel.

Totally innocent.

But from what Draco had told him and rumours he'd heard, Draco was anything but innocent.

And Harry couldn't help but feel sorry for Draco when he'd almost cried about his family. For Harry himself had always been surrounded by people that loved him and cared about him, while Draco seemed only to have those who tolerated him, used him or he used.

But Harry could feel himself falling in love with Draco. That was why he wanted to make Draco wait. He didn't want to ruin everything with sex. He wanted it to mean something more than sex.

Draco sighed and curled nearer to Harry's chest. Harry would've loved to stay like that forever – just the two of them all warm and snug and totally content. But it couldn't. It seemed that, from what Draco had told him, that the blond's parents and family and friends would never accept the two of them together.

Besides, they would have to eat and drink and pee and wash and go outside sometimes.

"Hey gorgeous."

Draco was awake beside Harry, smiling softly up at him, his eyes wide, fixed on the raven-haired boy.

"Hey."

"I could get used to this," yawned Draco, stretching.

"Me too," sighed Harry, burying his head in the crook of Draco's neck.

Draco giggled, actually giggled, and squirmed. "That tickles."

"Oh really?" grinned Harry.

"Wha-?" started Draco, but before he could even finished the word, Harry had straddled his hips and was tickling him just below the ribs.

Draco giggled even more, unable to breathe, his eyes watering from all the laughing and he sides beginning to hurt.

Suddenly, the door opened and standing there, soaking wet, was...

"Uncle Sev!"

"Mr Snape!"

In an instant, Harry had practically leapt of Draco and had completely covered himself with the cover, now only a small tuft of his hair showing.

Draco was speechless, pulling the cover over his hips and looking anywhere but his uncle or Harry.

Severus, too, appeared in a stunned silence, staring unblinkingly at his nephew and one of his students.

"What are you doing home?" asked Draco. "I thought you were back tomorrow night."

"Course was called off, someone was ill," replied Severus, sounding dazed.

"Oh."

An awkward silence filled the room, almost deafening Draco. He groped under the covers for Harry's hand and, upon finding it, squeezed it comfortingly.

"So, I'm going to go and unpack," mumbled Severus, leaving the room and shutting the door behind him.

"Harry, you can come out from under there now," Draco said softly.

"No," replied Harry, his voice muffled by the cover. "I'm never ever coming out."

Draco rolled his eyes. "Sure, 'cause staying naked in my bed makes things better."

Harry's head appeared once again, his cheeks bright red. "It seemed so until you said that."

The blond kissed Harry's forehead and then reluctantly got off the bed, pulling on his underwear and jeans.

"I s'pose we should go talk to him," Draco sighed.

"We? Why we? You...you're his nephew. Why should I talk to him?"

"Because he just found you in bed with me. It's probably best you come talk as well so he doesn't think you forced me into something or vice-versa."

Grudgingly, Harry, too, slid out of the warm bed and pulled on his wrinkled clothes.

"Come on," coaxed Draco, taking Harry's hand and half dragging him down the stairs.

Severus was sitting in the kitchen; hands curled round a half-empty teacup. He looked up as he heard feet coming down the stairs. Seconds later two boys walked into the kitchen; one blond and one dark.

"Hello."

"Uncle Sev, me and Harry want to talk to you."

Severus nodded. "Sit down. Would you like some tea?"

Draco and Harry both shook their heads.

"Look, I know that you probably weren't expecting to see...that," said Draco, desperate to say this before he got to nervous, "but I'm eighteen and I really like Harry and I think he really likes me so...yea."

'Lame ending,' he thought.

"You're right, Draco, of all the things I expected to see upon my early return, that was not one of them," Severus replied slowly. "But...you're also right about the fact that you're eighteen, and that you are not a child any more. And you're not my child."

Draco looked as if he was about the say something, but Severus held up his hand to stop him.

"Draco, if you're happy then you can be with whoever you want, I don't care if that person's male or female. Just so long as you're happy and safe."

Draco smiled widely. "Thanks."

"May I talk to Harry for a moment?"

Draco's smile fell slightly and he frowned. "Sure. Harry, I'll be upstairs, 'kay?"

"Okay."

As the blue eyed boy left, Harry sat nervously on his chair, now alone with his Chemistry teacher, his new boyfriend's nephew who had just caught him straddling Draco naked in bed...nothing about this seemed good.

"Harry, I know you and I don't see eye to eye, seeing as your Chemistry is appalling due to your lack of attention in class. That aside...you're a good boy and Draco seems to care about you a lot."

"I feel the same way towards him, sir," replied Harry, looking at the table.

"Good."

"I'm not going to hurt Draco sir. I would never do anything to hurt him."

Severus smiled at the teenager's insistence. "I don't doubt that." He swilled the remnants of his tea around in the cup. "What I think doesn't really mean much, I'm not Draco's father, I'm only his father's step- brother, but, even so, I'm glad he has someone he can care for. Someone who can hopefully keep his feet on the ground."

At this, Harry smiled affectionately. "I will sir. And your approval means everything to Draco. He doesn't say it but he really looks up to you."

"Thank you Harry."

Harry offered Severus a small smile, to which the older man nodded, signalling the end of the conversation. Harry hurried back upstairs and into Draco's room.

Draco was sitting on his bed, legs crossed, biting his thumbnail. Upon seeing Harry enter the room, he jumped up and stood in front of the green- eyed boy.

"What happened?"

Harry grinned. "Your Uncle's actually kinda cool."

Sorry that chapter was short – I know I keep saying they'll get longer but...this one didn't. Ah well, review anyhow.
