Chapter 4:

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Secret Diary of a Call Girl nor am I making any money from either etc..

"I want to make it clear that I did not bring you here to sleep with you," Severus said insistently.

"It wouldn't matter if you did," Harry laughed. "You know you don't have to pay to talk to me, everyone else yes, but for you I'll make an exception. Well except this time."

"What's different about this time?"

"You went through the agency so Max will be expecting his 30 percent," Harry replied, then quickly added. "I made this weird didn't I? I swear I didn't mean to!"

"You did not make it weird, I understand completely," Severus said putting up a hand to stop Harry.

"Thank God," Harry sighed. "Let me have your phone and I'll program my number into it."

Harry couldn't believe he was seeing Severus again, and not in a client sort of way. The man was willing to pay his rate just so he could talk to him. Well it wasn't much different than last time except last time he was a like a surprise present from Lucius. He couldn't stop thinking of the older man, and here he was sought out by him. He had honestly thought he'd never see him again. He couldn't really register how glad he was to be able to see Severus again. The best part was that the man had wanted to see him again, that he had taken the effort to look him up and book him again just to see him. He'd never had anyone put so much effort into wanting to see him. His relatives usually pretended he didn't exist unless it was to take the time to berate him for even being brought into the world and reinforce how useless he was to them. Severus hadn't exactly expressed that sort of interest in him, but he could see himself dating the man in the future, and it wasn't like he would have to hide his career from him and lie about where he was going everyday. But he knew he was getting ahead of himself and tried to quell any of those kinds of thoughts until he knew the other man's intentions.

The man had brought loads of takeaway menus with him and Harry smiled at the idea and was glad that he didn't have anything planned after this. He could spend as much time as he wanted with Severus and not have to rush off to another client. He picked up the menus and started looking through them when he caught Severus smirking at him with a raised brow. He shrugged and continued sifting through the stack.

"A lot of menus," Harry commented finally.

"Yes, I didn't know what you liked so I thought it best to just have as much variety as possible. I hope you're free for more than the hour I booked," he replied.

"Of course I am. My schedule is completely clear," Harry grinned brightly.

"Order what you like it is my treat of course."

"What's your angle?" Harry blurted out before he could stop himself.

"What do you mean?"

"Your intentions? Like what is this?" Harry asked using his throwing his hands around the room.

"I thought my intentions were clear, but I suppose not," Severus said smoothly. "I like you, I like spending time with you which is very rare to find in another human being these days. I am very fond of solitude because of the general ignorance of those around me but you interest me. I suppose it is fair to say I am pursuing you."

"Pursuing?"

"Yes, I would like to take you on a proper date the next time that we meet if that is okay with you?"

"You do realize what my job is right? I'm a whore, I sleep with loads of men every week," Harry said earnestly.

"Yes, I have weighed the pros and cons, but someone like you is rare, special even, and I don't intend to let you slip through my fingers without trying," Severus answered quietly.

Harry couldn't believe what he was hearing. Severus' straightforward attitude was a surprise to him, he wasn't used to someone getting to the point and being truthful from the get go. He was used to dealing with married men, or men who weren't openly gay and lived lives shrouded in secrets and paid him greatly to keep those secrets. He had a feeling that if asked Severus anything he would be honest with him. He wasn't just going to say yes though, he needed to survey the situation and he also enjoyed being chased a little. It was nice to be wooed properly instead of being handed some money and fucked and out the door within the hour. He wanted to do this right, and he didn't want to come off as too eager. So he decided he would play it cool, but not too cool as to not give off any inkling of returning the way the other man felt. Harry still wasn't entirely sure that he wasn't dreaming the entire thing.

After spending the evening eating all the takeaway his heart desired and getting slightly tipsy, he decided it was one of the best nights of his life. Severus was so interesting to him, he asked him what he did at work and he explained how he developed new medicines, and worked on healthcare reforms in third world countries. He was a philanthropist who donated millions every year to help with those healthcare reforms and the education of children. He made sure to tell Harry he was in no way bragging and that most of those donations were done anonymously because after all he did have a reputation to keep up, which made Harry laugh. They ended the night by programming each other's numbers into the other's phone, and promised to meet again soon.

Harry couldn't help but to have a huge grin on his face as he hailed a taxi and headed home. When he finally made it home he collapsed onto the couch reeling in the events of the night. He grinned sleepily when he noticed the book by Severus lying on the coffee table. He picked it up and turned it over in his hands and thought maybe he would get Severus to sign it for him, surely the man would find some humor in that. Knowing that he had a client lined up for the following day he pulled himself up off the couch and into the bathroom to take a shower. He climbed into bed feeling more content than ever before. He really wished that Ron and Hermione were around to tell about meeting Severus. Maybe he would call Draco tomorrow and see if he wanted to get lunch with him.

Harry and Draco had met through a mutual friend and had, had a brief fling together. Draco knew all about Harry's career and lifestyle and he was the only person who knew and that was because Draco was an escort as well. He also happened to be the son of Lucius Malfoy who would surely blow a gasket if he ever found out. Draco was different than Harry though, he was in it because he was a billionaire playboy who did as he pleased. He also enjoyed being pampered by a different man on any given night of the week. Draco was nothing short of spoiled and despite the constant spoiling done by his parents he felt the need to spoil himself as well. They were polar opposites Harry had been raised as if he were a poor orphan and Draco as a prince, but in the end that must be what had drawn them together.

As always Draco was dressed in the finest of suits and had arrived early just to get extra complaining in to the poor waitress who was in charge of their table. He looked practically homeless when he sat down across from the waitress and ordered a beer, which Draco quickly said no and told her to bring him a glass of wine instead. Another reason their relationship hadn't lasted was Draco's controlling nature and Harry's free spirit. Eventually they both ordered, well more like Draco ordered for both of them and Harry didn't have the energy to argue with him about it.

"So, your dad hired me for a gig on New Years," Harry said candidly.

"What!?" Draco nearly shouted. "Is my dad gay?"

"No, what of course not, I was hired for a friend," Harry laughed.

"Alright," Draco said losing interest almost immediately.

"The guy your dad hired me for, I quite like him, and he likes me too I think?" Harry continued.

"Oh, yeah who is he?"

"His name's Severus..""What!?" Draco cut him off again.

"What, he's not your dad too is he?" Harry joked.

"No, he's my godfather."

"You're joking?"

"I'm completely serious Harry. That man is my godfather, I've known him since I was born."

"Well this complicates things," Harry laughed.

"Uncle Sev cannot know that I am an escort. He can know that we're friends or whatever but if it got back to my parents they would disown me," Draco said seriously.

"I think this is the first time that I've ever seen you be serious," Harry laughed. "But yeah I promise I won't say anything."

Draco convinced a reluctant Harry to come shopping with him. Harry knew how Draco could be he was the type of posh that was bearable in the smallest of doses. When they did go places together Harry always felt incredibly bad for the staff that had to cross Draco's path and ended up living large tips at restaurants and apologizing profusely when Draco was out of ear shot. It was more like babysitting than anything else. He was nothing short of a handful and shopping was when he was at his worst. And when Harry dared mention the way Draco acted Draco got all huffy and would just 'humph' at everything that Harry said to him. So it was best to let him go about his ways and try to clean up some the mess left in his wake.

Harry was also lovingly referred to as Grandfather by Draco because he often claimed that if Harry acted older than his own grandfather. He was cautious and responsible and stayed in on nights that could be spent getting pissed and hooking up with random strangers. Draco often told him that if he weren't in the escort business he would have just aged rotted away in his apartment watching old episodes of Doc Martin by now. Harry didn't deny it he just shrugged and accepted it, besides he really enjoyed Doc Martin.

"Come on Grandpa!" Draco called as he pulled the doors open to one of the shops.

"Yeah, yeah, you great git," Harry retorted.

Sometime around Draco's fifteenth time in the changing rooms Harry's phone buzzed and he looked down to see it was a text from Severus.

'Come around mine tonight, around 8? Dinner?'

'Can't work tonight,' Harry painstakingly replied.

'When can you?'

'Around 11 okay?'

'Great.'

'Where do you live?' Harry asked curiously.

'Where will you be tonight? I would like to pick you up if that is okay.'

'St. James. See you then," Harry grinned but was quickly interrupted by Draco.

"What's that grin about?" Draco asked poking his head out from behind the dressing room door.

"Date tonight," Harry mused.

"Well clear you head of your boyfriend and tell me how great I look," Draco teased.

"You look brilliant as always. You can literally pull off anything," Harry said repeating his well scripted mantra.

After his outing with Draco, he decided to catch the tube home. On the train he tried to avoid eye contact with anyone because he'd rather not catch the wrong person's attention. He almost couldn't help himself this time though because this rather attractive guy kept smiling at him and he smiled back, and every time he looked up the guy would smile brightly at him. He really hoped the man was just overly nice and didn't attempt to ask him out because he really didn't like to turn people down, but he was preoccupied with Severus and where things with him were headed. When the train came to a halt as his stop he smiled quickly and got off the train as quickly got onto the platform before the man could get a word in edgewise.

The first thing he decided was that a long bath was in order so that he could wind down and relax before his night kicked off. He almost wished that the client would bail on their appointment so that he could just skip straight ahead to his evening with Severus. The man was proving to be quite the distraction. He also wasn't sure what would happen when it came down to the whole Lucius and Draco conundrum. He surely couldn't just tell Lucius that he was seeing the man that he had hired as a date for him, and neither man could know what Draco was and did being friends with him implicate such things? He himself wasn't sure how he was going to introduce Ron and Hermione to Severus who was a rich, older, posh businessman. He pushed all that aside for a moment and dunked his head under the warm bath water. For now he would just enjoy Severus' company and maybe they could address the rest of it together, well all of it except Draco. Of course Draco would pose a problem that was what he was best at.

A/N: Sorry if this chapter is a bit all over the place. I just wanted to get more about Harry's personal life in and hopefully next chapter you'll find out more about Severus' ;)
