Saturday morning Harry found himself in Severus' office. He knew they would be using the private lab and not the classroom. Harry had been up most of the night before talking with Draco and Blaise. Harry groaned as even Vince and Greg were brought in on it. Greg was gay as well. Even among the purebloods it was common. Wizards could get pregnant and so it was much more accepted than among muggles. Harry had realized that when he had com out of the closet. He was laughed at for being so nervous about such things. He had known Charlie was but Remus had admitted to being gay. He and Sirius had been involved before his death. Harry had not told anyone other then Draco. But Blaise seemed to have his suspicions about who it was and Pansy had of course guessed in the bar. The other two were not in potions so they had not seen any of the looks and had detention so they had not been at the bar that night either.

Severus looked up from his book at him. He sent an appraising look at Harry. It was the weekend so Harry was not in his uniform. He was wearing a pair of tight jeans and shirt which left little to be imagined. He wondered if the boy suspected something for he was causing a reaction in Severus already. He had to try and think other thoughts right now. But he had seen the rose Harry had received t dinner the night before and he had no doubt of course that it had come from. He knew Lucius was going to start making his move. And if Severus had any chance of winning he needed to take advantage of the fact he was t school with Harry.

He led Harry into his potions lab. "I was happy you decided to come and work with me. I know potions is not your favourite but you have shown such potential."

Harry smiled at him. "You definitely gave me some good incentive." And after putting on his apron with an odd look. "I mean helping my dad and all."

Severus had to hide a groan a bit s Harry slid by in front of him close enough that Harry rubbed up against him. He could not deny he wanted to sink into that ass. He could not even deny he had wanted it before this bet. He almost reached out to touch Harry but he reminded himself the boy would just go running from the room. Harry definitely had no idea what he was thinking. And he knew he had to be smart about this.

Harry smirked for he had intentionally rubbed up against the man. He had thought to encourage some touching but the man definitely did not seem to get the clue. He went to work on the potion with the man and worked through lunch. He could feel the man's eyes on him the entire time. Severus invited him through for dinner.

Severus' hand brushed the front of Harry's crotch when he helped Harry with his apron. "Sorry about that."

Harry smirked and took the hand and placed it right back firm this time. "I'm not."

Severus was surprised but he took the chance and gently caressed Harry's fine cock. He drew the young body against his and ran his tongue along Harry's bottom lip and Harry's lips parted to let his tongue invade his mouth. But Harry drew away from him after a few moments. He saw a bit of a mischievous glimmer in the green eyes and there was something abut the smirk on his face.

Harry surprised him heading for the office. "I forgot I was supposed to meet Draco for dinner. We might have to do this again."

Severus groaned as the boy left and muttered under his breath. "Tease." He wondered if Harry was aware of the bet or if he was just having some fun.

Harry almost headed back into the lab. He was definitely responding to Severus. But he decided to let the man stew for a bit. If Severus didn't think he had noticed the man's stiffening cock he was definitely a fool. And Harry could not deny his own was as well. He could not deny he could see allowing the man to take him off to bed but he wanted to ply with him a bit longer. And he was starting to wonder about the rose. Both he and Draco knew the rose had not come from Severus. He was a bit curious about who the second person could be. He had never even had one guy interested in him and now he had two. Well he assumed it was another guy. The school knew where his interest lay. But the only gift he had received from an admirer was a Valentine's card second year from Ginny. She had thankfully stopped crushing after him before he came out of the closet and was happily involved with Blaise.

Draco was waiting for him near the entrance to his apartment with Hermione. He had not been lying when he said it. Draco and the guys were going out tonight. He had not decided if he was going. Draco had been about to leave. He had wondered if Harry would be staying behind.

Harry led him in where he noticed Hermione was not there. He told Draco what was happening. "I think I could have a bit of fun with this."

Draco was laughing as he followed Harry to his room. "I was starting to wonder if you were going to spend the evening. I am surprised you pulled yourself away."

Harry shrugged and could not deny that he had a hard time at it. But he was having fun and he would let the man dangle. Draco knew Harry had his mind also on who ever had sent him the rose. Any comment was cut off when they came into Harry's room and found a bouquet of white roses lying on his bed. This time there was a note on the bed which simply read. 'I will see you tomorrow at The Three Broomsticks for dinner.'

Harry showed Draco the note. "I definitely think I might have to go into town for dinner tomorrow, if only to find out who this is."
