Harry had both his hands tangled in Severus' hair as he pressed their lips closer together. Severus' tongue mapped the roof of Harry's mouth as one hand held on to the younger man's hip, the other spread out on the small of Harry's back pulling his whole body closer to him. Harry moaned and leaned in closer to Severus' embrace as both men pulled apart suddenly at the sound of a door slamming shut and a loud voice that sounded like it was struggling to keep anger in check.

"What the HELL is going on?!" Remus asked slamming the door shut and casting a silencing spell. He noticed how fast both men jumped apart at the sound of his voice. Harry broke from Severus, but Severus held Harry's hand in his.

"Remus! What are you doing here?"

"I decided to arrive early for the teaching position, and it appears that it's a good thing I did!"

"Remus, calm down. Why don't we all sit down for some tea? Hmmm? Severus, will you show me to your kitchen so that I can brew some?" Harry glared at Severus

"Of course, Harry." Severus stood and led Harry into the kitchen just a few rooms away. Severus closed the door behind him.

"So, would you care to explain why we are inviting the wolf to stay when he is clearly seething at the both of us?"

"Because Remus is my honorary Godfather, he needs to see that we care for each other. I bet if we told him what brought us together he would be more than happy for us both." Harry said slightly louder than needed. Harry set his fingertips on Snape's temples. "Remus' werewolf senses will be able to hear everything we say to each other, will you let me into your mind so that I can speak to you?" Harry whispered

"As in telepathy? Merlin, Harry! Do you have any idea how rare that is?"

"Now is not the time to marvel at my powers, will you allow me or not?"

Severus nodded as Harry flooded his mind and the boy's voice spoke in his head

"Severus, we do need to explain this to Remus if we don't want him hexing your balls off. Now, we are going to sit and explain everything to him in a relaxed and adult manner. Now, ever so discreetly, grab me some calming draught." Harry pulled his hands away from his lover's head and snapped as three tea mugs appeared with steeping tea in them. Severus put his arms around Harry's waist and set his head on his shoulder as he watched Harry put a slight amount of the potion into one of the cups.

"Don't you think that you are over reacting? If you really need some, then I can give you some calming draught later." Severus whispered in Harry's ear as quietly as possible.

"I appreciate the offer, but this is not my cup." Harry whispered back.

"Then what are you doing?" Severus whispered rather concerned when he noticed the devious smirk on Harry's face.

"Taking a cue from Albus." Harry whispered as he dropped two sugar cubes into the tea and left with his and Remus' mug. Severus stood in shock before following Harry out of the room. 'That is rather…Slytherin. And when did Harry learn that Albus laced his guest's tea with Calming Potion?'

Harry handed Remus a mug.

"It's Earl Grey with 2 sugars and a splash of milk, just the way you like it."

"Thank you, Harry." Remus said sitting back down.

"So," Severus began after sitting across from Remus "May I ask how you got through the wards? Harry always casts rather powerful wards before removing his glamour?"

"I did not detect any wards." Remus said looking at Harry as the young man grew a horrified expression on his face

"Shit! I was so nervous to talk to Severus that I forgot to throw up the wards that I normally do."

Severus glared at the young man in front of him. "Well, then we should be grateful that it was only Remus that walked in."

"So, Harry. When did Severus learn about your glamour?"

Over the course of the next hour, Harry retold the story to Remus, who looked disbelieving at the sweet story being presented to him.

"So let me get this straight? You have secretly been in love with your potions master for several years, when you never bothered tell me that you were gay? He knows about your glamour, and about your treatment at the Dursleys?"

"Yes." Harry looked down ashamed that he never told Remus about his orientation.

"Why didn't you ever tell me that you were gay?"

"Because you would have asked who I liked, and I couldn't tell you that I was in love with my teacher. I don't think that would have gone over well." Harry smirked trying to lighten the mood.

"Yes, I'm so much more impressed now." Remus almost spat then pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes. "Look, I understand young love; I do, but Harry, its Severus."

Harry crossed his arms warning Remus not to go where Harry feared he was going. "I'm so glad that you are aware of his identity."

"Don't take that tone with me. Really, Harry, couldn't you date someone else, anyone else?" Remus pleaded.

"Why would I want to date anyone other than the person I loved?"

"Because it's Snivellus for Merlin's sake!" Remus said standing

"DON'T CALL HIM THAT! If you got your head out of your ass and let go of your prejudice, you would see what a wonderful, talented, intelligent, and beautiful man he is!"

"He is old enough to be your father!"

"If it doesn't bother me than why should it bother you?"

"Severus put a stop to this please!" Remus begged as Severus stood

"Why should I? Because it will help you sleep better at night? Because you're afraid what everyone will say? I have done a lot of regrettable things in my life, but choosing to be with Harry is not one of them. We discussed everything at length before coming to a decision. He understands my role as a spy, and I understand his role in this war. We both acknowledge that we may not live through it, but until then, we have happiness within each other. Surely you can understand that if nothing else?"

Remus was across the room in the blink of an eye and had Severus' teaching robes clutched in his fists and Harry was glad that he had put the calming potion in Remus' cup.

"You are disgusting! He is just a young boy; he doesn't know what he wants!"

"I believe that if you talk to him you will find that he is anything but a boy, and he is rather sure in his choices." Harry watched on horrified, he knew that Severus was restraining himself for Harry's sake, but Severus was a grown man and could take care of himself; however what Remus said next brought anger into every fiber of Harry's being, since he called Severus the same thing that Vernon called Harry from a young age.

"You're a FREAK!" Remus yelled as he pushed Severus harder against his desk, but before the potions master could reach for his wand, Remus was pushed several feet away from Severus and couldn't grasp why until he saw the murderous rage on Harry's face.

"THAT'S ENOUGH! I will not stand here and listen to you insult my boyfriend, whether you care for him or not! I know exactly what I want, and what I want is Severus." Harry strode toward Remus with a murderous air around him, one of the glass bottles began to crack under the magical force that Harry was giving off. "You DARE use that word to describe him again, and you will find yourself in an abyss of severe pain that you cannot even fathom. You KNOW the associations with that word! And one more thing Remus Lupin, if you accept me than you accept Severus, honorary godfather or not!"

"Of course I accept you, Harry! But this…situation" Remus said as he closed in on Harry, who in turn only drew his wand higher. Remus then realized how bad he must have hurt his godson if he was drawing his wand on him. "It is ridiculous, and disgusting!" Remus said as he put his hand down as Harry lowered his wand with anger in his eyes. "Gods! Even Sirius would have been ashamed of you." Remus breathed out as he crossed his arms looking away only to have his attention caught by a shattering vial on a nearby table.

"Harry…" Severus said as he moved closer to the boy who was now holding back tears. The tall man reached out his hands and cupped Harry's face gently as tears cascaded down.

Remus had never seen a look of pure pain on the young man's face before. His eyes alternated between being closed as if by doing so they could expel the pain, or open and flowing with tears. His jaw locked tight and the frown upon his lips as if the whole world was against him and he was giving up.

"I'm sorry, Severus. I just need to be alone for a bit. I will contact you later." Harry said as he left the room in a hurry, barely spelling his glamour on in time as he left the room.

Severus looked to Remus with a murderous stare. "You are no longer welcome in my chambers Mr. Lupin. Please remove yourself."

"I'm-" Remus began before he was interrupted by the glaring potions master.

"That was not a request, it was an order. Now leave before I find a use for all the horrid things I learned as a Death Eater." Severus glared at him, imposing himself, the air around him crackling with anger, as Remus walked out of the room hanging his head in shame.
