Pretty Boy

Chapter 44

Difficulties

It was now June and the months were flying by, Hogwarts was about to clear for the summer holidays. Voldemort had stepped up his attacks and Harry was suffering because of it. The Prophet was continuing its vendetta against Dumbledore, and it worked like a charm. Dumbledore had been brought in front of the Wizengamot. Remus had been the only one there to 'support him'; as soon as it was over he shared the memory with Severus, Harry, Sirius and Bill. He had been put on house arrest, and since Dumbledore didn't have any properties, Albus had sold them all before the war ended, to keep the lifestyle he was accustomed too.

Albus Dumbledore was completely broke, especially after they compensated Harry. He was magically confined to Hogwarts. He literally couldn't leave; the magical restraining binds stopped him. He had lost his popularity, his place on the Wizengamot and as soon as the Ministry could, they planned on replacing Dumbledore with a new Headmaster. Which basically meant after Voldemort was dealt with. After that who knew what would become of Dumbledore, they'd probably just throw him to the wolves. Nobody wanted anything to do with him. The worst had yet to be found out; no doubt it would get ten times worse when it did.

Albus felt like he was going insane; he had tried and failed many times to leave the tower. Through all magical and non magical means. He was still trying to get the Order to do his bidding, continuing to try and find Harry Potter. They were of course, just not for Dumbledore but the entire magical world. He knew somehow that Potter was responsible for all those bloody paper reports, he didn't understand how. The boy must know someone in the magical world and Dumbledore feared it was a Death Eater otherwise why would he be so against him? He was only doing what had been best for the wizarding world after all.

The school was due to finish in a week, and Dumbledore was madder than ever trying to get out. He had tried to convince the Ministry to take off the magical restraining bonds. Unfortunately he was just laughed at and reminded of his misdeeds. Potter was going to turn twenty soon and he was utterly petrified. Potter would die and the world would be doomed. He regretted putting so many magical restraining bonds on the brat, if he hadn't the boy would have survived. If Potter wasn't responsible for bringing Voldemort down he'd be content, he'd get the last laugh.

"Severus, come to my office," demanded Dumbledore through the Floo. The only means he had to communicate with anyone.

"Very well" replied Severus through the flames, irritated beyond belief.

"Can I help you Albus?" asked Severus impassively. It had been months since he had actually seen the old fool. He looked a right state, his clothes were a mess and his face was haggard and worn, if he hadn't known what Dumbledore did to his lover he would have felt sorry for him. Now instead of feeling sorry he actually felt a great deal of satisfaction. Truer words were never spoken than those who say 'How the mighty fall'.

"Severus…is there a potion…any potion that could track down Harry Potter?" asked Dumbledore desperately.

"Yes, but they are banned and extremely illegal to use." said Severus.

"Would you brew it?" demanded Dumbledore.

"You know I'd do anything for you Headmaster, I made a vow to do as such. Unfortunately the ingredients are hard to come by." said Severus.

"Just tell me what you need and I'll get it for you," said Dumbledore dismissively, so sure in his confidence he could get Severus what he'd need.

"Including basilisk hide?" asked Severus calmly.

Dumbledore looked as if he had just swallowed a lemon Severus could almost see the pout forming. He suppressed his amusement, almost wanting to laugh at the state of the old fool. "I see."

"Is there any other potion?" asked Dumbledore desperately.

"No Albus there is not." said Severus impassively.

"A spell?" asked Dumbledore grasping at straws.

"I do not know of any," said Severus, "Albus, why are you so desperate for something now? He's been missing for years."

"When Harry was a child…his magic was going haywire. Too much for him to handle. He consented to having his magic bound, to protect him and his family. Despite what the papers say, I know the Dursley's where fond of Harry. They were distraught when I told them he had run away last year. You know it's impossible to fool me." explained Dumbledore, looking distraught.

Severus wanted to snort, fool him? He and Harry had been doing it for nearly a year now, impossible my backside. He couldn't believe the lies Dumbledore still insisted on spinning, even when he knew people truly knew the truth about him.

"What magical bond?" asked Severus.

"All of them," said Dumbledore honestly. He knew Snape wouldn't turn on him after everything he had done for the Dark wizard over the years. He had kept him out of Azkaban, testified at his trial and gave him a job and somewhere safe to stay. He was an Order member and wouldn't tell anyone what he said.

"Why would Potter agree to that?" asked Severus dubiously, he couldn't believe Dumbledore had told him.

"His magic was out of control it was the only option," said Dumbledore indignantly. As if he couldn't believe his Potions Master would ask such a thing about a Potter no less. He was too preoccupied that he never heard the lack of hate, directed at the Potter name.

"I see," said Severus. It was so difficult to hold onto his anger; he wanted to curse the old fool to hell and back.

"I need to find him before his twentieth birthday," said Dumbledore. "I need you to look for him Severus; you cannot give up not until we are sure it's too late."

"I never knew Potter…how am I supposed to know where to start?" asked Severus. He had no intention of faking to look for Harry. Not when the young man in question was down in his quarters. Inwardly petrified of what was going to happen to him when Voldemort calls everyone again. His lover didn't show it but Severus knew what to look for.

"I have complete confidence in you, here is everywhere the Order has been." said Dumbledore handing over a piece of paper. Severus grabbed it and recognized the handwriting immediately; he had corrected it for seven years, Hermione Granger.

"I shall look when I have a free moment Headmaster," said Severus abruptly, getting up he stalked down the Headmasters office and went straight to his quarters. Everyone avoided him, sensing his mood. It surprised them, since as of late, he'd been in a rather good mood.

"What did he say?" asked Harry as Severus stalked into the room, he knew something was wrong just by his demeanour.

"Dumbledore told me about what he did to you. Insisting you had consented to having your magic bound." sneered Severus angrily, his face twisted in revulsion.

"Why does he insist on playing that game? Surely he knows you aren't stupid?" asked Harry snorting in amusement nothing Dumbledore did surprised Harry. He couldn't think any worse on Dumbledore so really nothing could surprise him.

"He thinks he has complete control over me. That I'd listen to him and not think for myself because he saved me." said Severus bitterly. For a long time that's exactly all he'd been. He sat down on the couch, with a thump looking tired and wary.

Harry got up and wandered over, straddling Severus, staring into his eyes. Twining his fingers in his hair, before leaning down face to face, kissing him passionately. Smirking when he felt Severus' interest stirring. It had been months since they'd done anything. Between his constant brewing, teaching, learning everything about Dumbledore and the attacks he suffered through the connection.

Suckling and biting Severus' neck, causing Severus groaned, it had been months since Harry had touched him intimately. Everything had gotten on top of them. It seemed perhaps now they could relax a little. Both were hard and aching already. Slowly, bone achingly slowly Harry began removing his own clothes teasing Severus as he showed his pale milky flesh.

Standing up to remove his underwear, teasing his nipples moaning wantonly, Merlin he had missed this. Once he was completely revealed before his lover, he slowly began removing Severus' clothes. Removing the shirt, kissing and nipping his way down his pale chest paying extra attention to his hard nubs worrying them between his teeth. His tongue laved up and down his lovers navel making Severus writhe under him causing him to gasp and arch into Severus.

"Severus," said Harry his voice a whisper of a sensual caress against his lips.

Sliding down, removing himself from his lover's body, he licked his lips in anticipation. It had been so long since he had seen him properly like this. His hands slowly lowered the boxer shorts, causing the fabric to scratch against the over sensitive head. Causing Severus to arch up his body just about flinging from the couch in overwhelmed with pleasure. "Move now before I do it for you," hissed Severus unable to take any more torment.

"Bed now!" said Harry, no more waiting.

"Bed," murmured Severus in agreement.

Once they were on the bed, hungry green eyes snapped to Severus' causing the older man to gasp. Bending over and took Severus' member into his hot wet mouth which devoured him whole. Severus fell back, trying to stop himself from bucking up. Severus didn't even hear Harry oiling one of his fingers, but he did feel it entering him touching that pleasure spot inside of him repeatedly. Until he couldn't think anymore and wave after wave of pleasure shot through him. He came, fireworks exploding in front of his now closed eyelids, opening them sluggishly it was almost enough to get him hard again, seeing Harry milking him for every drop he had.

Severus turned them around, so Harry was laying spread eagle on the bed looking debauched and Severus hadn't seen such a more welcoming sight in all his years. The knowledge that this boy was all his made it even sweeter. He was a possessive man and he would keep Harry. No one would ever get the chance to see him like this, touch him the way he did or get to drink in his green eyed bliss. Bending over he began kissing Harry, softly, one hand holding himself up the other wrapped around Harry's very hard organ. Severus was hard again just watching him, it overwhelmed Severus how much he loved this man in front of him. He didn't care if Harry was years younger than him, he had been though things most nineteen year olds never would imagine.

Harry's mouth fell open as he arched into Severus gasping and arching up greedily trying to bring himself to completion. Severus' tongue found its way into Harry's mouth mapping every detail. Tearing himself away after breathing became extremely difficult. Harry was still arching into him, but he was drawing himself away ever time he did so causing Harry to whine.

"Please Sev let me come" gasped Harry unable to take anymore of it.

Severus sped up his strokes, his thumb stroking Harry's sensitive head harshly. That did it, Harry arched even further than before, his body releasing harder than he could ever remember. His body slumped like a puddle of goo, both breathing heavily as they rode out the pleasure together. Severus buried his head in Harry's neck, inhaling the scent that was uniquely Harry. The one main thing Severus loved about Dumbledore's house arrest was that Harry didn't have to worry about being caught. No one else other than Dumbledore could get into his quarters. Not even McGonagall had the authority to make Hogwarts do such a thing. So he was able to go around as himself, and it caused Severus problems all day just seeing his lithe toned lover walking around all day.

Swinging his leg over he planted himself on top of Harry, causing Harry to gasp once more. Harry automatically raised his hips and allowed Severus to put a pillow underneath him for comfort. Severus just stared at the quivering hole for what seemed like hours, it was as if it was begging for Severus to enter where no one else would. To claim him again, he was brought out of his lust filled thoughts by Harry moving causing him to gasp.

He grabbed the oil from the table, brewed by himself. He didn't trust anyone else's he was a suspicious man and it usually served him well. Coating his fingers he began preparing Harry, his own cock leaking at the thought of being inside him again. It had been far too long.

Once Harry was prepared enough to accept all of him; he coated his leaking member in the oil. Placing himself at Harry's entrance, his body urging him to take him, claim him. Severus wasn't sure if he had ever been so hard before in his life, deciding to get Harry back, he began to sink down slowly. He took a grip of Harry's hips stopping him from arching up. Harry's rasping breath was all they could hear in the room, Severus wasn't breathing at all as he tried to stop himself sinking into that tight welcoming heat. Eventually it became too much for him, he thrust back out before jerking back in powerfully.

"Yesssss," hissed Harry clutching at Severus' shoulders his body overwhelmed with pleasure.

So Severus gave in to Harry's command, swivelling to hit the small bundle of nerves. It was too much for Harry who came once more this time without having been touched, Severus thrust in three more times before the heat of that tightening channel overwhelmed him. He emptied himself inside Harry, claiming him again.

Breathing ragged Harry curled himself around Severus his body shaking as he came down of his explosive high. Severus banished the mess they had made, and wrapped his arms around Harry. Both of them lay there basking in the afterglow of such an incredible orgasm.

"Never going this long again," sighed Severus tiredly but none the less rubbing circles on Harry's back.

Harry grinned cheekily and said "Good," his voice was hoarse and breathless.

Both men fell asleep, feeling better about everything. Harry's twentieth birthday was coming up; Dumbledore was getting more unhinged if he was telling people what he had done. The week after his twentieth birthday he would get Severus to send the memory of Dumbledore confessing to Skeeter's. The betrayal would push him over the edge. He wouldn't get a chance to hurt Severus because Harry…why Harry had a plan for the old fool.

He would reveal himself to the world and then he would kill Voldemort. Then he and Severus would be able to live in peace, and he couldn't wait for that to happen.

Soon, he'd be free, soon they'd be free, and soon the world would celebrate.
