That's Your Business

Harry lounged on the bed, a forlorn look on his face as he watched his partner pack his suitcase.

"I can't believe you're leaving me at Halloween!"

Severus rolled his eyes at the dramatics. "I'll only be away for a week. It's not like I'm leaving you forever, Harry."

"Yeah, but you're literally going away with the vampire woman who wants to eat you. Or something."

"She's not a vampire, Harry."

"Might as well be," Harry mumbled.

Severus could not stop his laugh from escaping when he looked up to see Harry pouting at him.

"I have no interest in Madam Caldariam, and I have made that very clear to her over the years."

"Come on Sev, it's creepy. She's all up in your face whenever you see her. 'I vant to suck your blooood!'"

"Harry, she is not a vampire."

"Maybe she's just really good at hiding it."

"Or maybe, she's not a vampire."

"Alright, so she wants to dry hump you. It's all the same, really. She wants your bodily fluids."

With another chuckle, Severus sat on the bed, pulling Harry to him. "I want nothing to do with her, and she will get nowhere near me. You have nothing to worry about. I love you."

"I love you too. Still think she's creepy. But fine. If you want to spend Halloween with the blood sucking, bodily fluid stealing banshee, that's your business."

"You're being ridiculous. You'll have plenty of fun at the Weasley's Halloween party, and you know it. I'll be back before you notice I've gone. Now, have you finished sulking so I can choose robes to travel in?"

"I say go with the black. It makes you look all villainy."

Harry smiled innocently when Severus glared at him.

Lavender had been talking his ear off for forty five minutes and as far as Harry was aware, she was still talking about the clothes she was wearing, the make up she'd found at a muggle shop in London, or the shoes that she liked best because the elongated her legs. Something like that anyway. He wasn't even trying to pay attention anymore, and she didn't seem to care that he so clearly wasn't listening.

He was at Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, at the twins annual Halloween Party, and he wasn't having any fun. Usually, Severus was with him, making him laugh with quietly made comments about the party-goers, but this year he was alone. Sure, his friends were here, but it just wasn't the same.

He sighed to himself.

He was just feeling sorry for himself. Severus had been gone for five days and Harry was missing him. The older man had been so busy at his Potions Conference, they'd barely had time to floo at all. Merlin, but Severus had been right. He really was being pathetic.

Turning to Lavender, Harry smiled slightly. "You're beautiful," he interrupted her monologue, "but if you don't stop talking, I will kill you."

"It looks like I've been rubbing off on you, Mr Potter."

Spinning around in shock, Harry's eyes lit up when they landed on the owner of the voice, and his drink was hastily put down as he dived at his partner. Severus held him in a strong embrace for a few seconds before they parted, aware of the public setting they were currently in.

"What are you doing here? I thought you wouldn't be back until Monday?"

"I missed you."

Shocked at the honest statement, Harry smiled. "I missed you too. I told you I wouldn't have fun without you."

"So you did. I'll make it up to you when we get home."

"Hmm. How was the conference?"

"Manageable. At least, for the most part."

Harry frowned. "What do you mean?"

"You were, apparently, correct."

"About what?"

"Madam Caldarium."

"No way! Is she actually a Vampire?"

"No, silly brat. She made some rather... amorous advances towards me."

Harry's laughter was drawing the attention of those nearest to them, so Severus did the only thing he could to shut the younger man up.

He kissed him.
