Chapter 15

The first thing Severus thought when he woke up was, I'm getting soft. Harry was curled into a comfortable ball and was cuddled up close to Severus. Severus smirked and shook his head. Oh yes, I'm definitely losing my frightening reputation. Oh well. He made to get out of bed and head downstairs, but as soon as he moved he heard Harry whimper quietly.

"Oh, alright, I'll stay in bed then," Severus said, trying very hard not to laugh.

Harry woke up to find that he was quite literally lying on Severus. And to make the moment more embarrassing, Severus was awake.

"Oh! Blimey, I'm sorry, sir," Harry said, rushing to get off of the man as quickly as he could.

Severus smirked. "No problem, Harry, I was actually enjoying myself," he joked.

Harry had never heard the man joke before. Maybe he's been spending too much time with me. Harry wondered, then shrugged.

"Ready for breakfast?" Severus asked.

"Sure, I'm starving," Harry replied, and the two headed downstairs.

That night:

"Allright, we all know what to do, right?" Bellatrix hissed into the darkness.

"I don't," Lockhart piped up loudly.

"You'll catch on," Lucius growled, "or when you wake up tomorrow, you'll find yourself not looking so handsome anymore."

Lockhart gasped, bringing a hand up to his hair and flattening it down nervously.

"Allright, Lucius, you and I will wait in the graveyard, Gilderoy, you'll get Potter from the Dursleys and bring him back to the graveyard, understand?" Bellatrix asked.

Lockhart's face remained blank.

"Well?" Bellatrix snapped at him.

"Oh, right! Sorry, then, he and I can get our hair done, and I'll get him a new outfit because I'll bet he doesn't have many good ones, and we can take pictures of each other, and go to wild parties, and-"

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?" Lucius screamed angrily.

"Yes, Lucius, yes he is," Bellatrix said impatiently. "Just get him from the Dursleys and bring him to the graveyard. Don't stop anywhere else! Is that clear?"

"No," Lockhart replied blankly.

"GO!" Bellatrix and Lucius bellowed in unision.

A/N: yes I know…Lockhart has lost it…
