Chapter 13:

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Diary of a Call Girl.

Harry woke up early the next morning feeling warm and sated. He only found disappointment when he woke up to find the bed empty. He stretched out and smiled to himself about what had happened the night before. There had been two huge steps that had occurred in their relationship. By telling Severus he loved him this had officially become the most serious relationship that he had ever been in. He yawned slightly and smiled again at the reminder that a slightly smaller milestone had also been reached: Severus had actually spent the night in the same bed as him. This meant that he could actually sleep with the man at night and not feel guilty about him sleeping in the guestroom instead. He knew that he should get up and shower, but he spent a few more minutes lavishing in the morning afterglow before pulling himself out of bed and into the bathroom for a shower.

When he had finished showering he slipped on a pair of clean boxers and picked Severus' shirt on from the night before. He climbed across the bed and grabbed his phone from under the pillow and saw that he had a text from Hermione. She wanted him to call her after classes had finished and that she was sorry that she had missed his call the night before and that Ron was sorry too. He knew it they had been shagging, well they weren't the only ones he grinned to himself. Tossing his phone back on the bed he headed down the stairs to the kitchen to have some breakfast. He smiled to himself on the way down when he caught a whiff of Severus' cologne from the shirt.

He found breakfast waiting for him on the stove and a note for him from Severus on the table. Picking up the plate of pancakes and the bowl of fresh fruit he sat down at the table and covered the pancakes with syrup before picking up the note. He unfolded it and smiled to himself when he read what Severus had written:

Harry,

Sorry to have left before you awoke, but you looked entirely

too peaceful for me to wake you. I will see you after work.

Severus

xx

He smiled to himself as Draco bounded unexpectedly through the door. He looked immaculate as ever and he snatched the note out of Harry's hand and feigned gagging.

"Wait, what's different about you?" Draco asked stopping his tracks.

"Nothing?" Harry replied confused.

"You did it with him. You two had sex!" Draco laughed loudly.

"I don't know what you're taking about," Harry feigned ignorance.

"You're practically glowing," he pointed out. "It's about time that Uncle Sev got some."

"Shut up," Harry laughed.

"He left you a note, has he ever done that before?"

"No."

"He's got it bad," Draco laughed.

Mostly, against Draco's will Harry drug him to his flat in Camden to help him pack. He was only going to pack the things that he wanted to bring with him and everything else would be left to the movers. Half of it was going into storage and the other half he planned on donating to a charity shop. He had started into the bedroom to pack up the things that he was going to take with him and Draco had disappeared, saying he was going to the shop around the corner. Anything to try to avoid helping. He picked up a couple of photo albums and smiled lightly as he leafed through pictures of him with Ron and Hermione at school. Pictures that Mrs. Weasley had taken of various birthday parties and get togethers. Then later on there were pictures of him and Draco out together with Ron and Hermione or alone. He blushed when he found a picture of him and Draco kissing with the Thames in the background. Then there was the one compiled completely of his parents and their friends while they were at Eaton and some of him as a baby before their untimely death. He sighed lightly and placed them into an empty box as Draco came back into the door.

"We can't get drunk, Draco," Harry sighed eyeing the bags that Draco was holding. "We're meant to be packing!"

"It's taken care of," Draco said issuing him a dazzling smile. A few moments later there was a knock at the door and a group of movers came through the door. "Tell them what to do, we've got plans, Potter."

Harry reluctantly explained his labeling system to them and gave them the various address of where it was all meant to go. He handed them the keys to those places as well and followed Draco out to the small balcony. Draco secured the bag of alcohol and grabbed onto the drain pipe attached to the side of the building and hoisting themselves up onto the roof. This was where Harry and Draco went after a long day or a breakup. It was their spot in the city, the one spot that belonged only to them and that was hard to find in the middle of a city like London. This wasn't much but it was a little oasis amid all the chaos. He was going to miss it, yeah there were other roofs to sit on, but this one was always going to be special.

"Drink up, this is possibly the last time we get to drink on the roof," Draco said as though he were reading Harry's mind.

"Who knew you could be sentimental," Harry teased.

"As if," Draco smirked and popped the top off of the bottle of champagne in his hands.

"You are aware that there are other roofs," Harry laughed at him.

"It's about the memories," Draco said exasperatedly. "Besides I have a surprise for you."

"If I didn't know any better I'd say you were going soft and what surprise?" Harry asked quickly..

"As if Potter," he scowled darkly. "I've gotten us a job. We're going back to work together."

"What sort of job?"

"A sex party, more importantly a costumed one," Draco laughed. "Lot's of rich bachelors."

"You're mad," Harry laughed as he his phone buzzed with Hermione calling.

His conversation with Ron and Hermione wasn't as bad as he had estimated but it still hadn't gone as he had hoped it would. Ron was still an ass over the fact that Severus had anything to do with Draco and his family. It was stupid that he was going to judge Severus over the fact that he was also Draco's godfather. Severus was a good man and the fact that he was going to judge him before ever meeting him made Harry mad. He was in love with someone for the first time in his life and he just wanted them to be happy for him. As if Ron wasn't bad enough Hermione immediately knew who Severus was and began asking him if there was anyway he could ask Severus for an internship for her. She had read all of his books and she really admired him and his work and it was impossible for anyone to get an internship with him. All the while Hermione was asking about an internship Ron was bitching in the background about how much he hated Draco and how he couldn't believe that Harry was dating the git's godfather. It was all very overwhelming and he eventually just asked them if he could call them back later and hung up before they had a chance to say goodbye.

"Do you want me to kick the weasels ass?" Draco asked examining his nails.

"As if you could kick anyone's ass."

"No, but I could hire someone who could do it for us," Draco smiled lightly.

"They'll come around eventually," Harry sighed and frowned slightly.

"They're being selfish. They shouldn't have to come around. I'm the most selfish person on the planet and I'm more supportive than they are," Draco said angrily.

"Fuck it, let's have a drink," Harry replied. "I'm not going to let them ruin any part of this for me."

When he got home he wasn't in any better of a mood and to make matters worse Severus hadn't made it home yet. Talking to Draco was sort of a lost cause since he was completely pissed and he had taken him home. He was upset and there was no one to vent to so he headed up the stairs and started slinging clothes out of the boxes the movers had delivered. He was busied himself unpacking Thomas' elaborate wardrobe and putting it away in the guestroom closet. Even though Thomas was going to be a part of his and Severus' lives he wanted to separate them as much as possible. After half an hour of unpacking he was still frustrated over his friends reaction and decided to go down and have a smoke on the steps, Severus would be home soon and he wanted to be able to greet him at the door. He had missed him more than normal. Tomorrow he would go back to playing Thomas and he wanted to enjoy the evening before Thomas made an appearance.

He pulled one of Severus' coats from the closet in the hall by the door and headed outside. He did receive quite a few stares from the neighbors for sitting outside and smoking. Harry was vaguely aware that this wasn't something they considered acceptable but as they weren't certain of his permanence they hadn't dared to say anything yet. He also got the feeling that, like most people, they were slightly put off by Severus and the severity he seemed to radiate. The man really did know how to pull the command the attention of those around him. Although, most people found the man intimidating it had never really affected him, he found it slightly amusing, it had been one of the things that had drawn him to the man after all. Finally, after what felt like ages, Severus' car pulled up on the curb in front of the house and the man stepped out. Harry nearly launched himself at the man in order to pull him into a tight hug. He could feel the tension incurred by Ron and Hermione sort of melt away from the comfort the hug brought.

"What's wrong?" Severus asked sternly.

"Nothing, just a bit of a trying day," Harry sighed, his voice muffled in Severus' shirt.

"Why?" Severus asked tilting his chin up so he could look at him.

"I told my friends about us, they were a bit difficult."

"There seems to be a slight disconnect between yourself and your friends," Severus said quietly.

"We don't really see much of each other since they went away to school."

"Perhaps you should go see them this weekend?" Severus suggested.

"The train ride there is a bit brutal for just one weekend," Harry sighed into Severus' chest.

"Do not fret. I will arrange the travel details."

"Thank you," Harry said tightening his embraces around the older man.

"Shall we go inside?" Severus asked quietly and Harry nodded into his chest. "Do try to cheer up."

Severus surprised Harry by cooking dinner for the two of them. He made roast potatoes and carrots with steaks, it was delightful. They didn't say much through dinner, and when they had finished Harry had cleared the table and started to do the washing up. He wrapped up in his own thoughts about Severus and Thomas and how he was ready to move on. Severus was there to fill the hole in his life that Thomas had once filled. He was ready to give it all up and just be with Severus. The man had yet to say anything about his career choice, but he didn't want him to have to, he wanted it to be a decision he made himself. Of course he would have stopped if and when Severus asked, but he wanted to be the one to close the door on this part of his life. He wasn't quite sure what he would do to fill the gap in his calendar though, he wasn't exactly qualified for any sort of good job and he hadn't done the best on his exams to get into university. He pushed those thoughts away and thought he would tackle them when the time came. He would finish the few bookings that he had lined up and that would be it. He'd have to check his diary for an exact date but he knew it would be within the month.

Looking up from the sink he saw that Severus had disappeared somewhere in the house and he went to look for him. He eventually found him in the sitting room in his chair reading some sort of medical text and pausing briefly to make some sort of annotation on parts he found interesting. Harry stood in the doorway admiring him for some time before finally Severus looked up at him inquisitively and he blushed.

"You are quite striking when you blush," Severus commented looking back down at the book in front of him.

"Um thanks," Harry said rubbing his arm.

"Is something wrong?"

"No, not exactly. I guess… I wanted to tell you something," Harry said quietly.

"Yes?" Severus asked his interest obviously piqued.

"I've decided to give up escorting."

"Is that so?" Severus asked and Harry nodded. "I won't lie and say I'm not pleased, because I am.

"I mean there's still some details that need ironing out, but I'm definitely finished for the most part."

"May I inquire as to what brought about this decision?" Severus questioned him.

"You, I don't want anyone else but you," He smiled and crossed the room.

"Nor do I want anyone but you," Severus smiled and pulled him down into his lap and placed a chaste kiss on his lips.

A/N: I'm sorry this took so long haha I had some really bad writers block and this chapter probably reflects that. Hopefully now that I'm past it I can get the next chapter out much sooner. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
