You Can Be My Hero Babe

Chapter 16

Harry and Severus apparated to their castle as soon as they were out of the building. They were married after all and when they married, what was Severus became Harry's and what was Harry's became Severus'.

The mess surrounding the place had their jaws dropping. Trees lifted from the ground, blood still laying there, the building was in pieces just about, the out side walls where totally caved in. They realized they could not sleep here tonight or for another couple of nights. They collected everything they needed before heading out. The books and everything were all safely in the trunks.

Severus realised how tired he was as he apparated him and Harry to the Leaky Cauldron. Before getting a room and putting Harry, who was not even aware of his surroundings, to bed. With a sigh, he pulled Harry to himself and locked the door with over twenty different light and dark locking spells he fell asleep. He didn't trust anyone as far as he could throw them, not with himself or Harry that was for sure.

They slept for two days straight, Harry having been ill from the battle, and Severus from helping Harry and suffering from all those dementors. It had taken a lot out of them, Severus realised as he had to go get dressed. He left a note to Harry before apparating. He needed the castle to be built and a single reparo was so not going to work.

So he got in touch with magical builders and ward makers. The builders got straight to work on the Snape land and the ward makers obvious had to wait until the building was fixed. They only waited on an owl from Severus for them to start. It took three hours to get everything done.

Apparating back to the leaky cauldron he saw Harry still asleep. He could not help but think. 'He must have used lots of his magic, more than I imagined if he is still in a magical sleep' was all he could think. Yawning himself, he could not resist the bed with his lover lying in it. Cuddling in he fell back asleep, not at all hungry well not in that way anyway.

He woke up to the delicious smell of breakfast under his nose. His stomach grumbled opening his eyes, he saw his lover waving a pancake under his nose. Many other things sat on a tray; egg, bacon, sausages and toast. Harry looked much better than he had been a few days before for that he was thankful.

Severus opened his mouth and ate a big bit of the pancake before Harry could take it away. Making Harry mew in protest he had only wanted Severus to wake up so he could tease the man he loved with breakfast! That was soon forgotten as soon as they started digging into breakfast, unable to believe how hungry they were. They could eat for England and still not be full only blood could satisfy their thirst and hunger. They had not drunk for quite a while, drinking from each other would not be able to satisfy their thirst and that was something Severus didn't want Harry doing.

When he didn't drink, he had to go and drink from humans, not even collecting the blood helped. He had collected blood and had it stored at his house it was bound to be wasted now. Therefore, he had to go and collect blood before it was too late. Scared Harry would go into a blood rage when he was not there he thought about relaxing him enough to get him to sleep. He was not going to allow Harry to go and knew Harry would want and demand to go with him. He would not let his love loose the only amount of innocents he had left.

"Let's go for a bath" said Severus after they had finished their breakfast.

"Yes lets" said Harry who was still achy and sore from everything that had happened. Moreover, they both stank of everything and with them being vampires made them smell it even more than normal people.

Harry bathed Severus, taking extra care and time on his hair and neck we well as back. UN tensing Severus muscles relaxing the man. Severus in turn returned the favour. Harry was already half asleep by the time he was half way down.

"Sorry Sev'rus I'm just so tired" said Harry sleepily.

"I know love," said Severus watching as Harry slid into sleep. Muttering a sleeping charm to keep Harry asleep for a good few hours he took him from the bath muttering a drying charm he conjured a long silky shirt for Harry to wear before heading for the door.

Harry and Severus being in battle and everything they had not had the chance to get blood. Being hurt a vampire could only be truly healed or made feel better is by blood. Moreover, not having blood for a long time could have a vampire going into a blood rage. Drinking dry anyone they see. Of course, Severus had made sure Harry had lots of blood and going into a blood rage when you have passed the fledgling stage is not possible. Luckily Harry had been getting blood from Severus regularly had passed that stage; but was still in a fledgling stage not knowing how to hunt. It's worse for pregnant vampires because they have more than just themselves to feed. And it's hard for them they have to drink more than usual to satisfy their needs. Severus not wanting anything to happen to them was going to hunt.

Apparating he got the bottles from the wrecked house. In addition, getting rid of the burst and out of date blood bags (they had been lying for days, blood must be frozen immediately or it will go off. Also vampires spell there blood warm) he found two people standing not far of having sex in an alley way.

Stunning the girl, he latched his teeth into the neck of the boy. He drank his fill enjoying the taste of the blood; the boy struggled. He soon stopped and fell unconscious not soon, after, Severus knew he had had to do that, vampires that had not fed had to do that. The vampire in him wanted him to do that, they were the same person. However, his vampire had wanted blood so had Severus but they both wanted blood they would enjoy. Having two textures of blood in your system makes you sick. That was why they only drank one bottle a day. Harry was going to have to drink two, and you could thankfully make sixteen bottles so it would last him eight days then he could go hunting for more. He knew his lover would need more than just one or two bottles today. With a sigh he was off into the air looking for someone else, having just burnt the bodies and banished the remains. No one would ever know what happened there that day.

He found another two people, taking his fill this time leaving them both alive. He had of course almost taken too much of there blood but he had not caused any danger. Pocketing the bottles of blood in a pocket that had been charmed to hold anything he needed and wanted.

Apparating back beside his love, he took off the cloak and took everything else off apart from his shirt before sliding in beside his lover. Finally, fully satisfied not even bothered that he had killed two people just hours ago. He was a vampire and he would do anything for his lover his bonded as well as his child, anything.

Harry never aware of what his husband had done, if he had he would have apparated away and probably never spoken to him again. Until that is Severus, explained himself and Harry would have accepted it welcoming Severus in with open arms. He loved Severus no matter what he done and nothing would change that.

Blinking sleepily he, realised Severus was hovering near him, when Severus saw Harry was awake, he asked "Hey love feeling better?"

"Fine Severus I'm hungry" replied Harry. Getting up, he realised just how hungry he was. Moreover, he realised it was not hunger for food, it was hunger for blood.

Severus got up and went to the other side of the room getting five bottles he brought it over. He handing them to Harry, who grabbed them, swallowing them without really tasting them. Severus sat behind him kissing his neck. Causing Harry to shudder when the blood went down passed his throat. It had been so long since he had been taken, and to Severus it was as if it had been a life times since he had took Harry.

Drinking the blood his body sang, singing even more with the kisses Severus was bestowing up on him. Harry felt as if he were in heaven, Severus was still kissing him. Finally, Harry found his voice after soundlessly arching up to meet Severus' mouth a few times.

"More please Severus" panted Harry. He didn't think he could feel better than he already did.

"Yes" hissed Severus. It had been too long. In addition, he swore he would never deprive himself of this feeling again. Nor would he deprive Harry of it, god it felt good to be with Harry again. Stopping briefly with a helve effort he flung up a silencing spell up before going back to his exploring.

Severus loved the noises Harry made when he touched him. No matter how many times he had touched Harry in those places, he just seemed to make the same noises over and over again with the same intensity. It was as if he were taking Harry for the first time again, he had never had such a responsive partner and guess he would or never could have another one as responsive as Harry.

Severus was soon sucking on his lover, swallowing everything Harry could give him. Harry by now was lying totally debauched, breathing heavily and hardly aware of where he was.

Severus, getting to the bit he was most looking forward to, stretched his lover before entering him again. Now it was Severus' turn to be in heaven. Not being able to handle the intensity he thrust into Harry hard. Causing Harry to whimper groan and scream all in one go, god it felt good to have Severus inside him again. He wondered briefly, what it would be like to have himself in Severus. However, his husband probably would not allow it, he seemed to always want to top. Ah well it was worth dreaming about, perhaps he could get the courage to top. Then he realised topping didn't mean him inside Severus.

Severus groaned before coming deep inside Harry, biting him as he came drinking a bit of his bonded's blood not needing it but wanting it. Severus loved how sweet the blood was especially when Harry came, he liked it so much he did it every time they had sex. Closing the wound he had made he rolled off of Harry, pulling the very exhausted young man into his arms. One arm went under Harry's head rubbing his back whilst the other rested on his stomach. While he thought about the family he had created. He was glad they had gotten out of this whole thing alive.

One thing was certain he could not wait until there daughter or son came into the world. He fell asleep content that nothing could keep them apart.
