Chapter 22

They did indeed have a great time, Harry got himself a Samurai sword which he seemed to love. He could be seen at different times admiring the sword and polishing it. Apart from the sword they got different new weird herbs. Severus himself was excited to see what they would do. After he learned what to do with the herbs he was too much of a professional to put herbs he didn't know into potions.

Sitting on top of the boat Harry sighed in relish, he had never in his life experienced such emotions. Just in all one summer, his life was dare he say perfect. For the first time in his life, smiling his green eyes dancing.

"What are you smiling at?" asked Severus wonder what was causing his lovers happiness.

"How my life has turned out" sighed Harry.

"Ah, is that a good thing or a bad thing?" asked Severus thoughtfully.

"Good…" replied Harry.

"I sense a but" said Severus his eyes narrowing.

"Dumbledore will come looking for me, so will Voldemort they both have spies in the Order and Death Eater ranks" said Harry.

"We will meet them head on" said Severus "I've hidden for many years and neither have found me".

"Yes but you are not me" said Harry bitterly "Famous Harry Potter, the boy who lived and the person that's meant to end this war."

"I see," said Severus thoughtfully "I understand where your coming from" he sighed.

"I know you would," sighed Harry looking as though he didn't want to say what he had to next "That's why I think I should go back,"

"What?!" Severus surprise colouring his voice "Are you insane?".

"No, we have to, I'd rather have the advantage," said Harry "I having a way out and everything will help me fight them. We will bring them both down! The Death Eaters and the Order".

"Your insane" said Severus pulling away.

"It's that or spend my entire life in hiding" snapped Harry angry that Severus couldn't see his reasoning "I don't want too lose you, but its something I have to do. After what Voldemort and Dumbledore has done to me I want my revenge".

"Ah," said Severus settling back down, that he could live with.

"So what do you suppose we do?" asked Severus willing to let Harry to take lead.

"We?" asked Harry hope blooming deep in those beautiful green eyes.

"Yes we, I'm not letting you go off and get yourself killed" sneered Severus playfully.

"You mean you will come with me?" asked Harry having to ask again, just in case he had not heard right. He still couldn't believe someone could love him as much as Severus seemingly did.

"Yes," said Severus his onyx eyes showing nothing but love and acceptance.

"Thank you," said Harry swallowing hard.

"You're my lover, anyone would expect nothing less" said Severus.

"When are we going back?" asked Ginny coming out of her hiding place.

"Ginny!" said Harry nearly jumping a foot in the air.

"When we going back?" asked Ginny Draco coming out with her.

"Before Hogwarts starts," sighed Harry, smiling softly his family would come with him. Draco, Ginny and Severus. The three people he had come to care about more than anything else in the world.

"Fair enough, they are always looking for defence teachers, perhaps you could apply and get yourself inside Hogwarts" said Ginny.

"Dumbledore wanted him before he disappeared, Sev doesn't want to do it anyway" sighed Harry softly.

"Ah," said Ginny sounding disappointed that her plan had turned out no good.

"Excuse me" snapped Severus, he hated people talking about him as though he wasn't there "I think I can answer myself!"

"Sorry Sev," said Harry ashamed, here he was doing it to Severus he knew how annoying it was when people did it to himself.

"It's ok Harry, I will take the defence position" said Severus softy.

"What?! But you never wanted to work under Dumbledore!" said a shocked looking Draco. Who by the way got hit on the head from Ginny for opening his mouth, he moaned and rubbed his head but otherwise kept silent. He wasn't getting on his red headed lovers nerves that was for sure.

"I will do anything for my mate," smirked Severus seeing his godson brought down a peg or two.

"So are we going to go to the Ministry and letting them know we are back?" asked Vinnie coming out of the shadows now.

"For goodness sakes! Anyone else hiding!" snapped Severus angrily.

"Yes," said the others coming out.

"No, your fathers could end up with custody of you, I wont have that happen I'm sorry but no" said Harry adamantly.

"We can get ourselves officially declared adults" said Greg. "Then they cannot do anything".

"And we would have access to our vaults" said Draco "We can bleed our parents dry, doing so cut of some sources that Voldemort no doubt uses."

"He uses their money?" asked Harry.

"Don't know, probably" shrugged Draco sitting down next to them beside his lover Ginny.

"If he does then that will be a major blow to him, especially if you use the Malfoy money that's the one he relies on the most!" said Severus nodding his head.

"Then are we heading back?" asked the only teenage girl in their group.

"Yes," said Severus.

"Do you have the strength to teleport us back?" asked Draco.

"What about Egypt?" asked Samantha.

"We can go another time, and truly enjoy the beautiful view" said Harry.

"Are you sure?" asked Severus knowing how much Harry wanted to go to Egypt.

"After I've dealt with Voldemort and Dumbledore I shall be able to truly enjoy the holiday" smiled Harry showing he truly didn't mind not going yet.

"Very well, tonight we shall teleport back, right now we shall celebrate" said Severus.

"Celebrate what?" asked Harry curiously.

"Your birthday" drawled Severus as if it was obvious.

"It's only the end of July?" asked Harry wide eyed.

"No, it's a late birthday party, since you didn't see fit to tell us, Draco only got it out of Ginny a few nights ago" said Severus.

"But the Prophecy.." said Harry looking confused.

"What about it?" asked Severus an eyebrow rose in curiosity.

"Born to those who have thrice betrayed him born as the seventh month dies" receded Harry.

"Ah" said Severus understanding coming to light.

"Well then lets get a drink out" said Vinnie bringing very cold butterbeer's out of the fridge they had at the top deck.

"Heads up!" he yelled throwing a drink to each of them.

"You know that's not really beer" smirked Harry opening his nonetheless.

"Well that's wrong, we added fire whiskey to it" smirked Draco.

"Ah," said Harry looking curious.

"You never had fire whiskey" commented Severus seeing Harry's curious look and commenting before the others made fun of him for it.

"No," said Harry.

Severus threw them a look, which basically said 'say anything I'll make your life a living hell'

"You best go easy on the drinks then" smirked Draco opening his drink.

"Suppose" said Harry.

Everyone opened them and shouted cheers and happy birthday at Harry. Harry smirked at them all, happiness glowing like a ball in his stomach. He had never felt like that before he had met these people. This was real happiness, he hadn't even felt like that with Hermione and Ron because they were always fighting.
