--Chapter 17--

---Spending Time with Severus---

Harry woke up to something bouncing up and down on his chest. He opened his eyes and saw Kuro sitting on his chest flapping his wings and bouncing up and down trying to wake Harry up.

/Kuro, what are you doing?./ Harry hissed.

/Trying to wake you up, come on hurry up!./ Kuro hissed as Harry sat up.

/Why?./

/Everyone's coming back today remember. /

/Oh yea...I'm so not looking forward to today./

"Harry?" A voice called out from behind the door.

"Yea?" Harry yelled back and the door opened to reveal Severus. "Good morning Severus."

"Good morning Harry, I trust you remember what today is."

"The day everyone comes back and thinks I'm a traitor because I'm friends with Draco Malfoy, a Slytherin, and I'm a Gryffindor."

"I knew you would remember, at least they don't about us, I can't imagine what would happen to you if they did."

"Yes you could, you're a spy, you always think of the consequences or the causes of your actions."

"And you are too much of a smart alec for your own good."

Severus tapped Harry head and Harry smiled at him before Severus kissed Harry gently expressing all of his love for Harry. When they broke apart all they could do was stare into each others eyes.

"Hey love birds cut it out, Bumbles could walk in and see you two," A female voice said. The two turned and saw Rose leaning against the door way of the room.

"Um, how long have you been there?" Harry asked nervously, it was still taking him a little time to get used to the fact that he had an older sister.

"I walked in at the end of the kiss, why don't you two head down to the lake and I'll send Dobby down there with a picnic basket and you guys can stare there till I send you an owl telling you it's time to come back before the students start arriving."

"That sounds fine to me, how about you Harry?" Severus asked.

"Sounds perfect," Harry said.

"Good, now get ready and go ahead and head down to the lake, I'll see you two later."

Rose walked out of the room and Severus left also to allow Harry time to get ready. Harry quickly showered and dressed in his new clothes that his sister had bought him, he wore bondage pants, a black shirt that said 'I went over to the dark side, but don't worry I brought a flashlight (1)' and on the back it said 'But I forgot the batteries', placed his piercings in, pulled on a pair of black boots that went up to his knees, two band wristbands, black eyeliner, and he put his new glasses on, they were rectangular and much smaller than his big bug specs. After he was finished he headed out of the Gryffindor Tower and made his way to the lake where he saw Severus standing in an area that no one could see them. Laying on the ground was a picnic basket and a black and red checkered blanket. Harry smiled before he walked over and he and Severus shared a passionate kiss.

They stayed there most of the day, once more talking about this and that, the past, the present, the future. The just loved spending the time in each others company and were so at peace that they fell asleep embracing each other.

--While Harry and Severus are asleep--

Rose watched them as they fell asleep and sighed heavily before heading back up to the castle. She remembered watching Harry grow up without and hated every minute of it. She was without him and he without her, they could not lean on each other when times grew bad, like when people suspected him as the heir of Slytherin, when people accused him of putting his name in the goblet of fire, and when the ministry didn't believe him when Voldemort came back. She could hardly blame Voldemort though, she had almost succumbed to the evil's influence as well and she knew the temptation that had come from the thought of having all that power. She gazed down at her right hand and pulled it into a tight fist before hitting a tree next to her causing her whole fist to make a hole in the tree so her hand appeared on the other side.

"If I recall correctly, you did the same thing to a certain demon lord's guest room after you saw Bumbles not doing anything to stop the abuse Harry was suffering." Adrien said stepping out of the shadows.

"Yes, I remember that too," Rose said pulling her arm and hand out of the tree and staring at her hand and flexing it.

"What is bothering you?"

"Everything, well not Harry and Severus being together, I love that, they both need each other, whether or not Harry chooses to help me, is an entirely different matter."

"What do you mean?"

"Hn" Rose leaned up against another tree and crossed her arms over her chest before answering. "Adrien, you know as well as I that Bumblebee is trying to make Harry choose the so called good side so he can fight, but he will not let Harry have a choice in the matter, he would've made Harry fight and then have him stuck into Azkaban saying that he is too dangerous to be out with other wizards and there's the risk of him becoming the next dark lord."

"You've thought a lot about this."

"One has too if they are to come up with a plan to prevent it."

"So what are your plans for Harry?"

"Finish his training, that's all I can do, the rest is up to him, whether or not he decides to join me in the fight against the evil is up to him, I will not force him to join me like Bumblebee would, whether or not I fight alone..."

Rose stood back up straight and stared up at the sky as the sun grew lower in the sky.

"Is entirely up to my little brother, but whether or not I succeed is an entirely different matter..." Rose said before walking back up to the castle and as she reached the steps she whistled sharply and a hawk flew down and she gave it a letter. "Now if you don't mind Adrien, Erica has an appointment with a certain dark lord whose name begins with a V."

"Huh?" Adrien said confused before following Rose inside asking her what she meant.

---Back with Harry and Severus---

Harry woke up and felt Severus running a hand over his hair. He looked up and smiled gently at Severus before they both sat up and watched the sunset on the horizon.

"You realize that with everyone back we won't get to spend a lot of time together right," Severus said.

"Yes, let's just enjoy this for now, I don't want to go back to the castle right now, I don't want to see anyone else right now, just you," Harry said. Severus gave him a true smile before gently kissing him and holding him tightly afraid to release him. As the last rays of the sun began to set a hawk flew down with a letter and both of them read it before standing up. As they did the picnic basket and blanket disappeared and the two headed up to castle both carrying baskets with different plants for potions in them. They went down to the dungeons quickly and dropped the herbs off and shared one final kiss before heading up to the Great Hall to show off his new look.

Harry made a quick stop by the Slytherin dorms to get Draco, they both stopped in the bathroom so Harry could switch his glasses with his contacts, re-darken his eyeliner, and as a final touch to ensure a shocker he put black lipstick on.

"Harry you look like a muggle goth or punk," Draco said.

"Yea, but I'm not, remember that," Harry said and smirked at Draco.

"I will, now let's go show off your new look shall we, I want to see the shocked faces of everyone, since you were under a glamour all winter break except for when you were with Severus, your sister, Adrien, and me, and we were the only ones who could see you how you looked under it anyway."

Harry nodded and the two headed upstairs and stood a few feet away from the open doors of the Great Hall. Harry took a calming breath before he and Draco headed in and awaited the reactions of everyone.
