There was nothing but silence between the two of them for a while. One was on inside of the room and the other was on the other. Both were staring back at one another blankly, unsure of what to say now. Because Severus had been the one to tell Harry men could have babies. Harry had been the one that made things awkward, by saying not he hadn't had time to read the sexual education pamphlets they give out in his fifth year and to every fifth year class. He'd been more worried with what Voldemort had planned than anything else that year.

"So?" Harry quietly spoke looking sheepishly at Snape, "I'd like you to train me, Dark Arts, maybe even Occlumency, and anything else you deem worthy. It maybe a good way for us to get to know each other maybe." Severus nodded, "Harry, why do you want to know about Dark Art." Harry looked up and pondered in it. Severus understood about learning Occlumency again, but the Dark Arts. "Because, know thy enemy, of course. I need to understand what I'm fighting against. What do I know about Dark Arts, is hardly anything past the unforgivables." Severus nodded, "Alright, Potter. I'll train you. But we need to find someplace besides the Room of Requirement for training purposes, should I train you in Dark Arts. If you find a place then alright." Harry grinned, "I don't have to think of a place, and there will be benefit to you as well." Severus eyebrow rose at Harry.

"Oh really, and where is that." Harry was still grinning, "The one place only three people and two are within this castle that can open." Severus smirked, "Very good Potter, you may actually just have a brain up there." Still grinning like an idiot, with a light chuckle.

"Potter it's getting late, you need to head back up to Gryffindor." He nodded it was edging closer and closer to curfew. "Sir?" Harry said gathering what few things he had with him. "In my first year the sorting hat wanted to put me in Slytherin, but I begged it to place me in Gryffindor." Harry grinned as left and slightly flirted with Snape as he left winking behind him as he went.

Leaving a stunned Severus behind in the classroom.

It was the next morning after the kiss, that Severus and he had shared. More magic was shared between the two of them that evening. Harry was up before anyone else in his dorm, which was something new for him as well as from not suffering from any nightmares at all. When he had woke up he felt the tingle of magic all over him like- His and Snape's magic was twisting together again like it had been when the bracelets been were first attached to them.

It was as if they were close or had touched, that their magic was trying to bind together. Their magic was already trying to urge them to bond. It was happening a little at a time, urging a little at time. He needed to read the book more, to try and understand everything that was bound to happen to Severus and himself with the bond, that was slowly forming between them because of the bracelets. Harry showered and got ready for the day, he decided that it would be easier for him just to wander the grounds until breakfast to try and get some prospective on things that were a jumbled mess. Once he was finally outside near the lake sitting on a small hill from just above the lake to watch the sunrise. As it rose his gaze wandered away from the warm touch that had been hitting his face. His gaze had wandered from the sun to the bracelet on his wrist. How was this going to work? Everything between them would have to be done in secret.

After thinking for a few hours outside. Things were not any clearer than before, but he figured things would figure themselves out and he needed to let things just go its course. Hearing his stomach growl, he figured it was time to head back inside to the Great Hall. He wondered what would be for breakfast, a full English breakfast sounded good right about now to him.

It seemed to be a quarter past eight in the morning most of the hall was already filled up. He didn't see Neville so he assumed that he was still in the Infirmary. Walking towards Hermione and Ron, them waving him over. The daily prophet had yet to came the school. "Hey mate, you was up earlier this morning." Ron spoke with a mouthful of food, "Ronald! Don't speak with your mouth full." She swatted his arm. Harry just shook his head with a smile, "Well I have had a lot to think about, namely what I read in the book." He watched as Hermione blushed, and he just gave her a friendly smile. He felt the tingle of magic wash over him and he looked up at the Head Table near Hagrid, he saw Snape who had locked eyes with him as well, the connect was broke when Hagrid spoke to Severus moments after sitting. Harry had a light smile on his face after that.

Half way through his breakfast the morning mail came in along with the daily prophet. "Oh my." Hermione gasped. It broke Harry from his food because he hadn't received any mail, so he just contuined eating. "What is it 'Mione." He asked then he felt the eyes of every person that had received the prophet that morning after reading the front page. He didn't wait for Hermione to give him the paper, he snatched it from her.

Harry Potter's Questionable Beau

By Rita Skeeter

So it would seem that our resident celebrity at Hogwarts, has found himself a man. Not just any man inside of Hogwarts, but no other than Hogwarts Potions Professor and Great Britians youngest Potions Master, Severus Snape.

Rumor has it that these two have hated each other for years. What caused the animosities between the two of them. It's been rumored why Severus hated Harry was because he was a walking reminder of the boy the bullied him in his day of Hogwarts, who was no other than Harry Potter's father James Potter. As for why Harry Potter hated Severus Snape was because of the treatment by Snape.

The questions remain as;

What changed? Why now?

What caused them to become intimate at a time like this. Was it because of the merging war? Does Harry Potter not want to die a virgin? So he turned to a cold stone heartless person, to take it in hope he may loosen up a bit, if he got laid.

The questions are unlimited by these turns of events.

Reporting for you from The Daily Prophet,

Rita Skeeter.

He sank back down into his sit, he could also feel Severus staring at him, but it wasn't just because he could feel the stare coming from Snape, but he could also feel Severus magic tingling within him.

It was then that Severus snapped his gaze from Harry over to Draco Malfoy who was smugly smirking, as he snickered at Potter with his friends. Harry's eyes snapped up to the Headmaster, wondering which one it was at least today.

"Silence!" The Headmaster roared across the room of the Great Hall. Harry didnt stay long he bolted from his spot at the Gryffindor table. His head was once again in a daze and a rush of everything.

How, why was rushing through Harry's mind. How did that picture end up even being taken? Who had done it, and why had they? They had outed Severus as a spy, more than likely. If not that the Severus would be tortued by his master, beg for forgiveness and Voldemort would want Severus to bring Harry to him, so Lord Moldy could try and kill him.

Somehow he found himself outside of Severus' office and a few feet away was we're the kiss had take place inside of Snape's classroom. Going to that room would never be the same it was where he got his first kiss by a man. By a man that hated him, even if it was just acting it felt very real hatred.

"So this is where you run too, Potter?" The silky voice behind him made jump from his pacing. Severus smirked at how he go the boy to jump. "Come on Potter," Severus said with a smirk and him just shaking his head.

"Take a seat." Severus offered to him, as he went over to his private select of potions he keep in his office. "Take this, it's a calming draught you'll feel better shortly." Severus spoke to him as Snape was sitting on the edge of his desk, looking down at Harry fondly.

Feeling better was an understatement to what had happened. " What are we going to do? I mean we no longer have the element if surprise. You've been outed." Harry's mind was racing, "what about the other prophecy if he finds out about it?" "Harry! Potter just take the damn potion well come to that when and if it happens." Severus hissed at him.

Harry pulled the cork out and tossed the potion back, with a frustrated grin up at Severus. He swallowed the potion and looked up at Snape, "Now really, sir. What are we going to do?" He asked more calm, but yet still worried. "We will have to wait and see, Potter." Harry stared at him as if e could not be anymore serious. "Potter, did you not look at the photo?" He shook his head, staring at him. Severus walked around his desk and threw the prophet down on top of the desk.

"Look at the picture." Harry looked but still didn't see anything. He looked up at Snape, unsure of still what he was looking for. Severus reached out for Harry's arm, the one with his bracelet showing it off to Harry and released it, but not before tapping on the picture on the prophet.

"It's not showing, it's as if it only allows those that know about it or the prophecy at least behind them, to see them." Severus sat down in his chair. "So we only have to worry about why you haven't already brought me to him." Harry said twisting his hands, in a nervous habit.

"Yes, Potter." Severus sighed, "Harry," He was trying to be sincere to him. "I know you are worried, but should I be called. I will be fine." Harry had to believe him. He was the spy after all. "I just don't understand, how and when with this picture." He heard Severus scoffed.

"It's a Malfoy way." He shook his head, "Expose those with objects of affection you want, as you may receive them." Severus spoke holding a vial. "Yes, Draco Malfoy has an unhealthy obsession with you, this was his warning to me after I threatened to kill him for his attempt to poison you with the love potion he stole from my class room." Severus sat the vial down.

"Does this mean I need to worry about Malfoy?" Harry asked, and watched as Severus shook his head 'no', "Draco would not dare cross his godfather. Even if he did, try something else he would not live to see the next day." Severus his open hand slamming down onto the corked vial. It crushed underneath his hand, "Sir!" Harry exclaimed, Snape snapped from his trace that was inside his own anger. "Right," Severus spoke emotionlessly.

"Let me see," Severus rose and eyebrow at Potter. "Sir." Harry rolled his eyes. Reluctantly, Snape laid his arm across the table to allow Potter to look. Harry picked the glass out of Snape's hand. It was then that he felt the magic between them caressing each others.

It was also then that Harry had taken the time to look at Snape, and saw him as something more than his Professor. He looked back up at Severus, and took out his wand and whispered "Episkey." Severus cleared his throat, and pulled his hand back flexing it for good measure. "Get to class Potter. It's going to be a long day." Severus spoke rising from his chair, only to sweep out the door past him with his robes blowing behind him. Harry only shook his head, and headed out himself. Today was Defense Against The Dark Arts, and the Professor was just nutters.

Next Chapter: DADA, with the wackiest Professor yet. Professor Tolley. Questions left and right about the article. Possible more flirting between Harry and Severus. Maybe even Draco.
