My Mate

Chapter 32

Yup I've finally updated!

Telling Dumbledore and Detentions

Hermione waited impatiently for Harry to finally go for his detention with Professor Snape, unaware that Harry was watching the clock waiting more eager than her for his 'detention' to come his way he wanted to spend some time with his husband. Hermione knew she was going to have to tell Dumbledore, and he was going to be furious with them. There was nothing she could have done anyway, it had happened when they weren't with him obviously. She got a lot of money for befriending him, enough to see her through college and university. Only the most magical powerful and most potential students got in, she planned on taking a course that will help her become the Minister of Magic the first female ever. With Harry Potter as his best friend it wasn't going to be a problem at all she could only hope he died during the final show down with Voldemort.

"I best get going" sighed Harry forcing reluctance into his voice.

"We will see you in a few hours" said Hermione softly "We will be here doing our homework like you should be" she reprimanded him.

Harry barely stopped himself from rolling his eyes; he walked out of Gryffindor Common room and away to the defence classroom. As soon as he had been away for five minutes, Hermione quickly got up and dragged Ron to the Headmaster's office. Having to hide and duck away from oncoming students not wanting to be seen heading there.

"Enter" boomed Dumbledore's voice already knowing who it was without even looking at the portal that showed who was at his door.

"Hello Headmaster Dumbledore" said Hermione walking in an air of confidence around her.

"Ah, Miss Granger, Mr. Weasley" said Dumbledore nodding curtly gesturing them to sit down.

"Lemon Drop?" asked Dumbledore kindly.

"Thank you sir" said Hermione and Ron accepting one; Ron put it straight into his wide open trap. Hermione on the other hand slipped it into her pocket not wanting to be rude but she loathed Lemon Drops they were too sour for her.

"Now what can you tell me?" asked Dumbledore looking at them intently.

"He's been emancipated" said Hermione immediately.

"Hm…that explains why I couldn't marry him to Ginevra" said Dumbledore nodding finally in understanding. He had feared Lily and James had set up a marriage contract for him but it seems that wasn't the case. So Potter had done things behind his back and gone and emancipated himself. That didn't bode well for his plans, perhaps it was time to get Ginny in on it she surely would love money like the rest of her family. It was rather risky though, as she had two life debts to Harry Potter, once for the chamber and once again this year. It was the same for Arthur he had a life debt to Potter, and if he knew anything about the Weasley's they honoured them. Arthur's family had been adamant on that, and his belief's had rubbed off on the family.

"She's going out with a Slytherin" said Ron screwing his nose up in disgust.

"Who?" asked Dumbledore his twinkle dying.

"The real Draco Malfoy" said Hermione reluctantly.

"That won't do at all…I shall come up with something" said Dumbledore his twinkle returning bit by bit.

"Anything else?" he asked after a few seconds of silence.

"He knows about his money, he got himself new clothes and clothes for Ginny too" said Ron bitterly.

"I feared that" said Dumbledore, when you get yourself emancipated the goblins told you what you were the heir off. It meant he wasn't going to be able to get any money from the Potter vaults, hopefully the boy didn't know about the Black vaults so he could continue using them. Perhaps he should withdraw a sizable amount today just in case the boy finds out so he could at least have the majority.

"Sir Harry's taken advanced Defence and Charms and dropped Divination also taken Ancient Runes for beginners!" said Hermione hotly even she hadn't dared to take advanced Defence and Charms.

"Hm perhaps I should have Professor Snape train Harry this year it will fit in with his chance for independence. I shall see how Professor Snape will feel about becoming an Order member. Perhaps after a few classes with Harry he will realize the boy's potential and join the Order. He refused the last time but that was before Voldemort was destroyed by a one year old" mused Dumbledore out loud.

"Well he gave Harry detention for being late" said Hermione smugly.

"Hm…that might work even better than I planned perhaps I can convince him to push Harry…maybe even too far" said Dumbledore withholding his smirk he sure loved manipulating everyone around him. He saw himself as the king, Potter was just a knight. They wouldn't win without him, Albus Dumbledore.

"Just keep an eye on him and report everything back" said Dumbledore.

"Yes sir" said Hermione immediately.

"Can't I get some decent clothes? I'm so sick of having all that money and being unable to use it!" asked Ron begging Dumbledore to use his own money.

"Very well, just a few things tell him your mother made enough through the Order to buy them. I shall inform Molly that I gave you some money from the Order account so she doesn't suspect" said Dumbledore.

"Thank you sir!" beamed Ron extremely happy with the new turn of events.

"No problem" said Dumbledore eyes twinkling. He loved people looking up to him and asking him what to do.

"Enter" said Severus smoothly.

Harry opened the door looked around and saw nobody around he grinned softly, shutting the door he practically flew at Severus. Finally lips met lips for the first time in what felt like forever to them, the beautiful thing was they didn't have to part for air. Vampires were very sexual creatures and it didn't surprise Severus when he smelt his little mate's arousal.

"How has your day been?" asked Severus softly untangling them as much as he wanted to bend Harry over his desk he wanted to speak to him first. He hadn't been able to talk for what felt like a month. He would claim him as his once more, but he wanted Harry to know he was here to talk to anytime he wanted him.

"Boring, all I want to do is choke them to death but I can't and I really miss Ginny and Draco" said Harry sadly, he wanted so badly to get re-sorted into Slytherin and be with them. On the other hand if he did this he knew Dumbledore would have him watched even more closely.

"I'm glad you refrained from doing so…id rather not have to break you out of Azkaban" mused Severus softly, trailing his long fingers down Harry's face and circling his claiming bite that only he and everyone that knew could see. Just seeing it made him hard in an instant the knowledge that this beautiful creature was his. The claiming bite was very sensitive and would remain so especially to his touch so it didn't surprise him when Harry moaned wantonly. Such a sexual little creature he had, and to think he was a virgin when he first saw him no one would think he had turned into such an erotic vampire.

"Severus please" whispered Harry begging with those big green eyes of his he had wanted this since he first laid eyes on his husband in the great hall before Hogwarts had properly begun.

Severus sighed in amusement, shaking his head he spelled the room and door locked and shielded. It was a good thing they could sense and hear people coming even from down the hall ways. Or this would have been particular impossible to do, picking up his needy little mate. Who in turn wrapped his arms and legs around him kissing and rubbing himself against him. Severus groaned around the kiss, he could have bent his mate in any way and use him as he pleased. He would always remain that small, and perfect for him always able to snuggle into his arms.

His chambers were dark, the curtains closed and black, the bedding was silky and of course black too. He put his little mate on his bed and began undressing, his breath getting stuck in his throat as Harry slowly and sensually began removing his own clothes. He became even harder when he noticed Harry had nothing on under his trousers, his penis sticking up and leaking and all for him. In a flash he had the rest of Harry's clothes off and lying on top of him biting the claiming mark making Harry wreath beneath him. Gasping and pleading, hearing the sinful mouth saying his name was pushing him over the edge.

"Tell me what you want" said Severus his voice like melted chocolate in Harry's ear. He had Harry pinned to the bed, his entire body covered by his husband's their hands inner locked together.

"Anything Sev, please…everything" whispered Harry arching up trying to get more friction between them. He had missed him so much and he hadn't ever felt like this before. He needed his husband to stop him going mad, so much pleasure rolling around him.

Severus seemed to realize just how desperate his mate was, without more ado he kissed his husband passionately and dominantly. Vampires' were naturally both dominating creatures but Severus had been lucky enough to find one that was happy to be the bottom. Having been the one saving everyone, looking after everyone Harry craved being looked after by his husband. Severus had no problem with this, watching his mate trembling with need as he positioned himself, lining his leaking member to Harry's twitching hole. Harry had indeed been worth coming back for, was all he thought as he entered his mate again, claiming him, possessing him marking him as his. No vampire would dare hurt him even if they did join Voldemort it was the cardinal rule. Never ever hurt a vampire's mate or suffer the consequences should that vampire find out.

Being vampires made them feel everything ten times more potent than normal humans, so they didn't last half as long as human's. Severus drove himself home again and again, wondering why he had wanted to wait and talk to his little mate. This was definitely so much better than talking. Moaning each time his mate met his pace wanting to get Severus as deeply into him as possible. His pace began getting faster as he lost control, even Harry as a vampire was unable to match the uncontrolled pace his mate was going at. He lay there for the ride, gasping and moaning wantonly as his husband sped up even more. When his husband licked and nibbled on the claiming bite, it became too much for Harry with a grunt he spilled himself between them. His husband removing his hand from his to milk him for everything he had. Severus moaned his face buried in Harry's neck as his husband continued to clench very tightly around him. Harry's taut body become relaxed once more when Severus was finished. Three thrusts later Severus came inside Harry, causing a second climax to catch Harry unawares and make him become unaware of the world. He couldn't have moved if even Dumbledore came in right that second too lost to the pleasure to care.

Severus smirked at his spent mate, cleaning up the mess they had made and lying down beside him. Sitting there with his fingers making idle patterns to his mates smooth skin waiting on him coming back to join the living.

It was twenty minutes later he heard his mate groan and murmur his name not even properly awake yet "Sev"

"I'm here little one" said Severus softly, not removing his hand from Harry's public hair as he spoke.

"That was intense" whispered Harry snuggling into his mate.

"Mmm indeed it was" said Severus kissing his husbands forehead.

"I've got you for class tomorrow" said Harry eventually, as he began playing with Severus' hair just glad to be here.

"Advance Defence?" guessed Severus.

"Yeah" murmured Harry, his fingers still twirling around his husband's hair.

"It's going to be a hard class even with what I've taught you only seven people signed up for it" said Severus softly his fingers trailing upwards playing with the now rapidly hardening nipples.

"I guessed as much, I also knew Hermione and Ron wouldn't take it so I've got a break from them in three classes now" said Harry smugly. He smiled when Severus' arms came around him clutching him close. Keeping him safe in his arms, a sigh left Harry's lips as he burrowed himself in his lovers form.

"I think Dumbledore's planning on asking me to train you" smirked Severus in amusement but it wasn't all amusing him if the tightening of his hold on Harry said anything. He did not like how Dumbledore had dangled his lover in front of him like a piece of meat. He knew Dumbledore was manipulative but damn it, he had gone to far that day. It had made him furious and also drain the old fool dry for even thinking about it, his husband brought him out of his musings.

"That means he's probably going to ask you to join the Order again" said Harry; he knew pretty much everything there was to know about Severus. Which meant he knew about the time Dumbledore had wanted him to join the Order; at the same time the Death Eaters had tried to recruit him.

"Indeed I think he might" said Severus nodding his head reluctantly.

"Will you?" asked Harry quietly stopping what he was doing focusing on Severus' answer. He wasn't sure how to feel with the possibility of Severus actually joining but he knew suspicion would tear him from Severus.

"No, I couldn't do that to you even to spy on them love, you have too many betrayals I'm not giving you cause to doubt my love for you" said Severus softly.

Harry smiled against Severus feeling love bloom in his heart, a soft thankful sigh left his lips. At least he wasn't going to have to beg Severus not to do it; he would have done and knew he would have failed. When Severus decided something it was decided, his lover sometimes could be relentless. Thankfully that wasn't going to be required, and his husband had stopped him from getting worked up for weeks before confronting him. He loved his, being held, comforted, having someone making decisions with him and in general just asking how he was. It was new to him and he was already addicted he wasn't sure what he would do if it should ever end. Thankfully Vampires weren't easy to kill, and his lover was fantastic at magic and Muggle defence and a Death Eater or even an Order member would have trouble killing him. If the Order did they would find him gone too, he would join his husband go wherever he went. As soon as he was off age he was going to be able to anyway, the only reason he had come back was because he knew his responsibility. Severus hadn't appreciated it but only he was going to be able to defeat Voldemort so he had to do it. Once that was done he swore he would go wherever Severus wanted him to - he had promised.

"You are quiet tonight, are you feeling hungry?" asked Severus softly. Just because they didn't need to drink blood thanks to his potion it didn't mean they didn't have the odd cravings for it. Which usually meant they would drink from one another, which again was a very sexual experience.

"No just thinking Sev" murmured Harry honestly.

"Something bothering you?" asked Severus sounding concerned.

Harry smiled almost smugly, this was his husband and it made him giddy even just a simple question. "No not any more, sometimes, I regret coming back, when I could be on the sea with you. I've been very selfish, putting you all in danger but I couldn't leave the wizarding world…." he didn't even get a chance to finish his sentence.

"I know how you feel about that, just stick in and we can only hope Voldemort attacks soon. Or we get a clue to where he is going to attack so we can finish him off and tell the world the truth" said Severus possessively. He hated the fact no one in the wizarding world knew Harry was his. His mate, his husband, that no one else would ever be allowed to touch.

"I want that more than anything else but Sev…I want to secretly take my O.W.L's and N.E.W.T'S" confessed Harry.

"Why?" frowned Severus unable to see where his husband was going with this.

"When I do finish Voldemort off I don't want to stay here…I think Ginny will want to do the same. She wont stay without Draco…I want to leave with you when I do finally kill him" said Harry softly.

Severus smiled his husband was getting more and more independent as the days go by. Not only independent but also opening up and discussing things instead of going ahead and doing whatever needed doing by himself. He knew Harry found it hard to trust people especially adults, the fact he was discussing it made him realize how far along his husband had come since the beginning of the holidays.

"Then you should do so, I know someone who can get them on the down low for you" said Severus softly.

"Sebastian's girlfriend works there doesn't she?" asked Harry sounding amused. Remembering Severus telling him about his brother and his newly found girlfriend, they had found their mates at the same time. Although Sebastian's girlfriend was seventeen and had just joined the Ministry because a family member worked in that department. It was alright for some to have the connections to get a job so fast others unfortunately weren't so lucky and had to work very had to find a job.

"She does" nodded Severus.

"When do you think I'll be able to meet him?" asked Harry softly, he had seen pictures of him but had yet to meet him. They had been too busy travelling and Sebastian had stayed on the mainland getting to know his mate.

"I'm afraid you will have to wait to the holidays unless he comes here when I have you to myself" said Severus softly a note of regret in his voice. He was close to his brother and Harry's desire to meet him made him feel bad that he hadn't already.

"Oh well never mind I'll meet him then" said Harry. Sebastian looked a little like Severus, but he could tell them apart obviously. Not just by the ring on Severus' finger either, but there were major differences in them. Sebastian's nose wasn't as refined as Severus' was.

"You will" said Severus adamantly.

"I guess I better go before anyone get's suspicious eh" said Harry not moving the slightest.

"It's not curfew yet so I wouldn't worry just yet" smirked Severus when Harry didn't move after talking.

"I miss this" said Harry out of the blue.

"I do too," said Severus softly. "Just remember you can come whenever you like you are the Gryffindor's heir and can get around the wards" he instructed.

"Oh I completely forgot" said Harry shaking his head in exasperation.

"I thought so" smirked Severus in amusement.

"I might come tonight then when everyone's asleep just spell my curtains unable to open and come down. Ron never gets up unless he has to, none of the others ever bother me so it would work" grinned Harry in happiness.

"Then I shall see you tonight" said Severus prodding Harry telling him to get dressed without saying anything. He too got dressed and waited on Harry at the door before they went back into the defence classroom and took down the wards.

"What will we learn first in advanced defence?" asked Harry curiously.

"Both me and Flitwick will be teaching the Patronus charm" said Severus smirking wickedly.

"Oh that sucks" groaned Harry he already knew that one so it would be boring to say the least.

"Yes" agreed Severus already knowing his mate had learned the Patronus charm at the age of thirteen and it filled him with pride. His mate was magically very powerful, to be able to master a spell that most fully grown adult wizards had trouble with. It would be hard indeed not to feel proud of his little mate, he had even bragged to Sebastian.

"I best get going I'll see you tonight" said Harry slyly before walking out wiggling his backside. Severus shook his head and groaned, knowing he had indeed created a monster. Not that he truly minded it was all for his benefit anyway wasn't it? And he didn't have to worry about not keeping up with his younger lover. Vampires didn't loose their libido not even when they turn five thousand years old so no - no danger there.

"Harry where have you been? It's nearly curfew!" snapped Hermione as soon as he walked through the common room door. Harry purposely made himself look exhausted and haggard so he could get away to his bed as quickly as humanly and inhumanly possible.

"You know where I was" snapped Harry looking annoyed and angry.

"Calm down mate, we were only concerned" said Ron frowning at Harry.

"Why didn't you do that when Umbridge was about then?" asked Harry with a grunt he sat down.

"We did when we realized what she was doing" Hermione pointed out softly forgetting her earlier actions.

"I suppose so, and I just got out of detention" said Harry.

"He kept you three hours?" asked Hermione shocked.

"Yeah, wrote hundreds of lines, my hands killing me I must have wrote 'I must not be tardy' a thousand times" sighed Harry stretching his hands as if it was numb and cramped.

"Maybe you shouldn't be" said Hermione hiding her smugness or so she thought.

"I doubt I'll be doing it again in a hurry" said Harry.

"So what do you have tomorrow?" asked Ron curiously.

"Potions first thing with Professor Milroy, Advance Defence with Professor Snape, and Advance Charms with Professor Flitwick then Herbology" said Harry as if he had his timetable a week not a day.

"I'll only see you in two classes! We have lunch at different times!" moaned Ron upon seeing his timetable.

"So we will" sighed Harry as if he regretted his rash actions to have more classes.

"Come on we have an early start tomorrow let's go to bed" said Hermione already getting up gathering her books and heading towards the girls stairs.

"Night Hermione" said Harry. He hardly called her 'Mione' anymore he wasn't her best friend anymore and didn't want to be. He had to hang around with her until he defeated Voldemort then let Dumbledore know his 'pawn' was lost to him. That he belonged to another, one man he had willingly given himself to - all of himself too including his life. He was technically the un-dead and he had allowed it because he loved Severus.

"Night Mione" shouted Ron.

They both went to their own beds too; Harry had to wait hours on everyone slipping to sleep. Once that was done he apparated from his bed to the Defence classroom and slipped in beside his husband. Just because they were vampires it didn't mean they didn't sleep, the Muggle myths had that wrong. Some of them anyway, the others said they slept but in a coffin and during the day. He smiled when he felt the strong long arms wrap around him and pull him in close. A soft kiss was placed on his neck and they both fell asleep content and happy.

Finally updated what did you think? like it love it? hate it? tell me either way! will Severus and crew actually be order memebers betraying Harry? will Severus be too guilty and tell Harry? or are they true to Harry and honest? so again will any of the Order find out and they have an ally and spy in their small but capable group? Tonks? Moody or Shacklebolt which one would you prefer? or maybe Bill? Charlie? the Twins? will dumbledore ever seen past the illusion magic or is it even too concealed for him to see? R&R please!
