Pretty Boy

Chapter 49

Harry Potter, Welcome To The Wizarding World!

Remus and Sirius went ahead to Hogwarts, letting Severus and Harry to deal with Dumbledore. They got half way to the castle, before they were actually ambushed, by what looked like every journalist in the magical world. They were being hounded by people all around them. Demanding to know where Harry had went, if it was him, why he hadn't been found before. Hell there was even people accusing them of hiding Harry from the world. Sirius and Remus couldn't get a word in edge wise, and their eyes were beginning to hurt with the thousands of camera's flash's going every second. They couldn't escape, they were actually trapped. They were surrounded by all areas. They were being bashed and prodded; they didn't even have enough room to manoeuvre their arms to get their wands.

It came as no surprise that Harry and Severus managed to Apparate without being heard. Severus smirked in amusement, at Sirius and Remus' predicament; a year ago he would have sneered at their misfortunate. Indeed a lot had changed and it was all down to twenty year old Harry James Potter.

"Severus, help them!" said Harry rolling his eyes, his mouth also twitching in amusement giving him away.

"In a minute." smirked Severus watching.

"Harry Potter! It's nice to finally meet you!" said a fat chubby man wearing a green cloak and a funny looking hat. Harry had never seen such a sight before in his life, he would have laughed if it wasn't for the tight grip the man had on his arms. Not only had the man touched him but he had drawn the crowd's attention to him.

No surprise that they were running in his direction, flashings coming from every direction. Harry didn't care about the crowd that had just formed around him; he was glaring at the Ex-Minister of Magic in disgust. When he spoke his voice was low and menacing.

"Remove your hand from me, before I rip it off and beat you to death with it." snapped Harry an ugly look on his face.

Fudge let go as if he had been burned, looking stunned at the Boy Who Lived. As if Harry had just told them, he loved Voldemort for killing his parents. He got himself under control, before puffing out proudly. Then loudly proclaiming who he was, as if it made one bit of a difference.

"I am the Minister of Magic Mr. Potter I'd suggest you treat me with my due respect!" puffed Fudge indignantly. Which wasn't true he was actually now the Ex- Minister of Magic.

"Ah, the man who joined the Death Eaters to save his own skin." said Harry, grabbing the so called Minister's arm before he could move. Fudge squealed and tried to take his arm from the death grip Harry had on him. Everyone gasped as one, upon seeing the Dark Mark on his forearm. Fudge knew he wouldn't be able to avoid Azkaban this time. They had warned him about it, now Voldemort was dead he had no protection, no guarantee he would become Minister again. Which was what he had been promised when Voldemort took over - that he would be the Minister of Magic.

A stunner was thrown Fudge's way; Harry looked curiously and saw Shacklebolt. The Auror from the Order and Ministry, someone who would make a good Minister. Harry wasn't taking any chances with anyone. This world was so behind it was utterly ridiculous.

"Auror Shacklebolt, please come here," said Harry loudly.

Frowning Shacklebolt did as he was told, Harry gave him a piece of paper, and it had a very long list of names. Some very familiar to him, Snape had told them of all Death Eaters. The ones he had seen initiated during his years as a spy, the only person who had a Dark Mark not on the list was Severus. The list didn't just include names, but exactly where they were. The list constantly changed when the Death Eaters moved locations. He gaped at it completely shocked and admittedly mesmerized.

"Is this…." asked Shacklebolt wide eyed still.

"It's the name of every single Death Eater along with their location." said Harry bluntly.

He could see the mouth of every reporter there moving, but he couldn't hear a thing. Severus had obviously used a spell on them, one obviously stopped them getting closer and another to keep them quiet. He was grateful for it really, he didn't want hounded by reporters.

"Where have you been all these years?" demanded Hermione Granger hands on her hips.

"Just ensure they are giving trials they might have been forced into it." said Harry "Do the right thing for once, make our world better."

"Of course," he said respect lightening his back eyes, "We need to speak to you at the Ministry as well."

"Where have you been?" asked Hermione again, slowly getting redder in the face at being ignored. It wasn't something Hermione was familiar with anymore, only Snape had ever ignored her. And she hadn't been a student for three years now.

"Why is that?" asked Harry dryly.

"To get your events on what happened." said Shacklebolt.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THIS TIME?" shrieked Hermione, unable to take it anymore.

"ONE MORE WORD GRANGER AND I SWEAR IT WILL BE THE LAST THING YOU DO!" Snarled Severus furiously, how dare she shout at his fiancé like that? To put it simply he was sick and tired of her.

"Sev don't bother about her." said Harry. Grinning in amusement at Granger, who went sickly pale. Ron tugged at her, glaring at Severus in disgust but not stupid enough to say anything.

"Did you know him before today?" gasped Tonks wide eyed staring between Harry and Severus utterly bewildered.

"Of course I know my Fiancé." scoffed Severus; as one every eye there went to the rings on their fingers. Harry smirked widely, almost preening like a proud peacock.

"But why didn't you tell us?" gaped Molly looking only confused.

"Why should we have to?" grunted Sirius. Rolling his eyes standing beside Severus and Harry. Remus did the same, coming to stand beside Sirius, the united four once more.

"You knew everyone was looking for you, why didn't you come forward?" asked Shacklebolt quietly. He didn't want to have the anger of Harry Potter or Severus Snape on him. Especially Harry Potter - he had just defeated Voldemort after all.

"If I had, Voldemort would have known I was here." said Harry bluntly.

It was obvious to Severus, Remus and Sirius he wasn't planning on telling the world about his other identity. It seemed Hadrian Williams was going to fade back into obscurity from whence he came.

"It's very nice to meet you Harry Potter. I'm Molly Weasley, and thank you for what you did." said Molly kindly, putting her hand out hesitantly. She had watched Harry, since they had went over. She noticed he was very much like his Fiancé, so she treated him like she would Severus.

"It's nice to meet you too," said Harry said curtly, shaking her hand as long as she remained like that he would treat her with respect.

"I would like to introduce you to my family…but they aren't all here just my two youngest Ginny and Ronald." said Molly kindly.

"I already know one of your children. Of course you aren't acknowledging him, just because he was following Dumbledore's orders." said Harry pointedly.

"Bill," whimpered Molly looking years older "I let him down; I just didn't know how to handle it. I've wanted to talk to Remus to see…if maybe he could help me."

"I'm going to take him to the Ministry, Tonks bring them along when they are ready." said Shacklebolt before he floated Fudge to the end of the wards and Apparated away.

"You have some making up to do; you hurt him, more than you could ever know. He needed you and you turned your back on him." said Harry.

"Come, let's get this interrogation over with." grunted Severus he hated the Ministry. Always had ever since the first time he had been arrested, they had treated him like crap.

"I suppose, we must." sighed Harry in agitation. He nodded sharply to Tonks, and the four men quickly made their way from Hogwarts grounds. Tonks went with them and five of them Apparated away. The Ministry was in pandemonium, there were thousands of little pieces of papers floating at the top of his head. Zooming in and out of elevators. People were running around like headless chickens, shouting from the top of their lungs, that You-Know-Who was dead.

"Come on then, we can get the paperwork over and done with for you. Just come to the Auror department, Shacklebolt is in charge now. Moody was killed by Death Eaters." she chatted on not seeing the two dark haired men rolling their eyes at her, or the other two who merely smirked in amusement.

"Sit down then, let's get this over with." sighed Shacklebolt he had hundreds of others to see. Death certificates to sign and alert the appropriate authorities, so they could visit the homes of the deceased. Tell the parents, partners, and children, whomever they lived with. Many had died that day and thankfully it would be the last of Voldemort's victims.

"How did you know Diagon Alley was under attack? Many others have said you told them before the attack started?" asked Shacklebolt professionally.

"You might be forgetting who my fiancé is, Severus told me. I Floo'ed Remus and told him to bring as many people as possible." shrugged Harry. Nothing in his features gave away his lie.

Remus, Sirius and Severus were all probably saying the exact same thing. Harry didn't want anyone to know about his connection to Voldemort. He didn't want it to reflect badly on him, or be accused of possibly going dark. He might not care what they say but he did want to remain in the wizarding world. It wasn't something he could do if they would accuse him of that; it would end him up in Azkaban. One too many people saying that he would probably kill them all. Prove them right.

"What did you do during the battle?" asked Shacklebolt.

"I have no idea, I was on autopilot, and I was cursing Death Eaters left right and centre. When Voldemort started on Severus, I began my battle with him. It was after all prophesised, I had defeat him, or the world was doomed." said Harry arching an eyebrow waiting on the next question.

"How did that connection spring up?" asked Shacklebolt. More out of curiosity than maintaining professionalism.

"My wand is the brother wand of Voldemort." said Harry curtly.

"Can I see the wand?" asked Shacklebolt.

Nodding in satisfaction, he gave Harry his wand back before saying, "You are free to go." said Shacklebolt writing something else down and the paper disappeared with a puff of smoke.

"Thank you." said Harry somewhat sarcastically.

Harry waited in the corridor, ignoring all the looks he was receiving. Tapping his foot impatiently. Nobody approached him; word had already spread about how he reacted to Fudge touching him. From outside he heard Shacklebolt ordering Auror's to start getting the remaining Death Eaters. With the paperwork Harry had given him, they had the locations already on hand. They had all the proof they needed, that they were Death Eaters, they trusted him - he was Harry Potter after all. He was all things good and light; they could see him kill someone and would say the person deserved it. They were too enamoured with their saviour, their hero to ever tear it apart.

"Finally I thought you had gotten lost in there." said Harry as soon as he saw Severus.

Severus smirked in amusement, "He was too intimidated to get the words out properly. Apparently I taught him a few years ago, he's a Gryffindor if I remember correctly."

"Oh, what did they ask?" enquired Harry.

"Just wanted to ensure I had my money and titles, I'm a hero now." said Severus sarcastically. He cared not for titles or self made names, he had the only title he wanted and that was Potions Master. He knew it wouldn't die down quickly, in a few days they would get notifications for awards. They would probably be up for the Order of Merlin first or second class, everyone who'd helped would receive them also.

Remus and Sirius joined them a few minutes later; it was a good thing because Severus was even more impatient than Harry. They were already getting special treatment, they'd gone before the dozens of others, who'd been there and saw what happened.

"So what's happening now?" asked Sirius.

"I've handed in my resignation, we are leaving for Snape Manor." said Severus smirking in supreme satisfaction. He had wanted to do that for as long as he could remember. He couldn't however, because Dumbledore would have had him arrested. Now he was gone, he had nothing hanging over his head anymore. Minerva however, wouldn't threaten him with such a thing. She had gratefully accepted his resignation, wishing him well.

"Meet up tomorrow then?" said Remus.

"At some point, I'll talk to you later." said Severus smoothly.

"Alright, I'll see you then." said Sirius nodding curtly. For the past few weeks they hadn't slept very well. Or rather Sirius hadn't, he had been too damn worried about Harry fighting Voldemort. Now it was all over, both men who had destroyed his life gone, he might just get some sleep.

"Bye." said Harry, grabbing a hold of his fiancé they Apparated away.

"I can't believe it's finally over." murmured Severus as they appeared in what Severus called Snape Manor. Mostly out of spite, since it was actually the Prince's who'd given him it.

"We're free." agreed Harry softly, cupping Severus' face in his hands and kissing him passionately. Suddenly desperate crushed Harry against him. He used a spell and he was feather light. Once that was done he hoisted his lover around his waist and practically staggered to the bedroom. His lips never moving from Harry's, other than to take a few gulps of air, before re-attaching them again.

Harry unclipped Severus' cloak and it fell to the floor, removing the rest of his clothes magically. Severus still insisted on wearing clothes with a million buttons, it was annoying to say the least. His own followed, his lips never stopping their exploring of Severus' mouth. They had just reached their bedroom door, it was the master bedroom, done in deep black and it was beautiful.

Harry began biting and nibbling down Severus' neck, smirking upon hearing those small gasps Severus couldn't contain. He loved hearing them; it turned him on badly.

Severus walked over to the bed with his precious cargo, before dropping him on it. Simply standing there, watching his fiancé removing his belt, trousers and his boxers. Watched him lick his lips, he moaned embarrassing loud when Harry licked him. Seeing those sweet lips lick away his essence hardened him further. This just made his swollen member leak all the more.

As much as he wanted to let it continue, he was desperate to be inside his fiancé. After all the worry, the fear and the fighting and satisfaction he just needed something to do. To let of some steam, and what better way than to have his wicked way with his lover? Harry used his legs to jerk himself further back onto the black bed. Letting Severus get his fill, Harry knew he had a good looking body and he wasn't ashamed of it. He loved knowing how his body made Severus feel. It was evident by the fact a part of him, was swelling further.

Severus looked at his lover sprawled out on their bed, his skin looking pale on the black silky bedding. He sat himself comfortably on top of Harry. He had noticed how Harry's eyes would change when he did; he wasn't sure exactly what it meant. He just looked at peace, when he was under him like this.

Kissing him on the lips once more, he moved down, kissing along his neck and chest, leaving livid purple marks behind. This time Harry wouldn't be covering them up, the world would see he belonged to him. Harry jerked under him suddenly, Severus smirked in satisfaction. Harry had a very sensitive belly button, and didn't last long with him laving it with his tongue. He paid no attention to the mess as he nipped and sucked at Harry's nipples before retrieving a pillow. He placed it under Harry, kissing him urgently once again.

Severus moaned at the gentle possessive kisses being delivered to his neck, no doubt he would support purple livid bruise tomorrow as well. Grabbing a vial, he dipped his fingers into it. Sliding himself into Harry, moaning when Harry practically sucked him in. twitching and begging for more.

"Sev," gasped Harry his hands gripping the bedding tightly.

Severus spread what he could on himself before propping himself at Harry's entrance. Shifting position, he buried himself in Harry's neck biting it as he slowly slid in. Finally he was in, claiming him, possessing him and cherishing him. He'd wanted this since he'd seen how gorgeous Harry was, then his fighting, and his revenge; Harry was amazing and all his. He made sure to hit Harry's special spot with every thrust, as he drove himself again and again possessively deeper into Harry. Harry didn't last long, with a cry he came flinging his juices over them both, causing Severus to moan deeply. As Harry clenched around him, writhing beneath him, with a muffled grunt he came spilling him deeply inside him.

Severus collapsed, breathless and deeply sated, and utterly exhausted. As soon as he was on the mattress, Harry moulded himself against him. Severus in turn wrapped his arms around him. Holding him securely against him, they had both survived the madness, and Dumbledore was suffering.

"What did my dad say to Remus and Sirius?" asked Harry a few hours later, after a very refreshing nap. They'd been woken up by Rizzy popping in with their dinner. Thankfully no chocolate covered strawberries or oysters this time. He had refused to leave, determined to serve them.

"Just that he doesn't blame them for what happened, and said to Remus that it was about time." snorted Severus in amusement. "He also added that I had his approval."

"I see." said Harry.

"What did your mother say?" asked Severus softly.

"That it would work and she loved me." he told Severus, he positively radiated happiness when he revealed that. It seemed them coming, had closed a lot of wounds Harry had in his heart.

"That she did Harry." said Severus softly, his fingers trailing up and down Harry's body.

"She said something else though…to think of her when I marry you, and she would appear." said Harry.

"Hmm, that is odd. Perhaps she knows something we don't." said Severus softly. Then again he had plans to marry Harry some day, or would never have asked him. Or rather what he had done was present him a ring without saying the words. It was a good job he liked his own gender; he doubted a woman would have accepted that very well.

"Maybe." laughed Harry softly.

"When do you think we will be told Dumbledore is missing?" asked Harry quietly after a few minutes of silence. Harry's face was on Severus' chest, he never even raised his head while talking far too comfortable to move.

"Who knows? Might be a week before they realize it." said Severus; he knew just how long it would take the world to get back to normal. It had happened once before, when Harry was only a year and three months old. When Harry had defeated Voldemort everything was one big long party. Ministry workers on over time trying to get everything sorted. The Muggles had even suspected something happened, the Obliviators at the Ministry had been busy that was for sure. Then again this just wasn't anyone it was Dumbledore. Poppy would presume he had gone back to his office, people would try and get him for a while, but it would soon become apparent.

"Do you want that mark removed now?" asked Harry softly, trailing his fingers around the outline of it.

"Yes." said Severus immediately; he hated looking at the mark - a stupid mistake of his youth.

Harry smiled and brought Severus' left forearm closer, before hissing in Parseltongue. Unlike Voldemort, Harry didn't sound threatening and angry, it sounded pure and untainted.

"There." said Harry grinning at his success.

Severus grabbed his forearm back, looking at it in surprise. He had expected it to hurt, it had hurt receiving it. It was gone for good, he was truly free. Closing his eyes he had to stop his emotions overwhelming him, without opening his eyes he curled Harry into his arms and all but squashed the life out of him. This was his way of saying thank you, he didn't believe in very emotional outburst displays of affection. However if he had ever come close to believing in it, it was right now.

"What is it you want to do with that building?" asked Severus curiously.

"I'm planning on turning that into an Orphanage. I don't want any children treated like I was. Or even Dark Lord's created because of bad childhood's. Every child deserves to feel loved and safe." said Harry, his passion for the project evident from his tone.

"You would need the Ministry's approval." said Severus.

"Not if I am it." said Harry.

"You're going to try to become the Minister of Magic?" asked Severus stunned. Harry didn't have the nature needed to win the world over. He was far too honest for his own good.

"Well it's the only way to get things done; you said you wanted the Dark Arts back at Hogwarts. Free rights for all magical creatures…what better place to do that from…than being the Minister?" said Harry somewhat smugly.

"You have been thinking about this for a while then." stated Severus.

"Actually no, just since we went to Hogwarts." said Harry softly.

"Well you would be picked, after all you are Harry Potter…but there is a lot of work involved in being a Minister. Plus you would have to change your attitude they wont like you if you sneer and snap at them." said Severus wryly.

"No I have you for that." smirked Harry in amusement.

"I'm serious Harry…if you want to do this, you will have to become something you aren't." said Severus.

"No I wont, I will put forward my name. Show the world the real me, if they don't like it then they can lump it. Plus I so can make that orphanage by myself; I've bought the land its mine. I'll build the orphanage and the children going in there will have been abandoned…it's nothing to do with them." said Harry a little defensively.

"Harry," sighed Severus softly, realizing he had upset his fiancé "I didn't mean it in a bad way. Running an orphanage costs money, money the Ministry can help with. They can help run the orphanage so they can attend Hogwarts, be brought up until they are adopted."

"Oh," said Harry relaxing slightly "I see. I've got plenty of money Sev, more than I could spend in my life time." he wasn't going to have children, it was impossible as he was a man and he was going to marry a man. There was no way he could have a child, with Severus and he sure as hell didn't want one with anyone else.

"True." nodded Severus softly.

"What do you think Remus and Sirius are up to?" mused Harry.

Severus choked and muttered that "I don't want to know." shuddering at the mental image Harry had given him.

"I didn't mean it like that!" laughed Harry swatting his fiancé backside. The tense discussion forgotten.

Severus wasn't sure what to think of Harry desire to be the Minister of Magic. It did sound like a good idea, especially with his ideas. He would have rather it had gone to someone else, but nobody else in their group could do it. Nobody else knew what they had fought for, so he knew he would have to face the inevitable. He would support Harry in anything he wanted to do, it's not like it was forever after all. He would step down in a few years. He would help him, but he still thought Harry was doing the wrong thing. There was just no way Harry could deal with the public.

He had wanted to settle down, perhaps somewhere with a warmer climate. Have a normal life, away from the public, students, Hogwarts and everyone else. Yet it seemed he couldn't, not while his lover had ambition. He'd never ask Harry to move away if he had his heart set on being the Minister. He'd stand by him no matter what, he'd created this world, and he deserved a piece of it.

He wondered what Remus and Sirius would make of Harry's career choice. He almost smirked, thinking about it; he was definitely going to be there when Harry told them. When he came out of his musings he saw Harry was snoring lightly, deeply asleep. He wasted no time in doing exactly that as well.

hah that Harry Potter as Minister of magic - i think not ;) lol :D R&R PLEASE!
