Description: A little bit of power is all Severus ever really wanted. Now that he had Harry he had all the power he could ever hope for.

Warnings: fluff and nonsense.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, unless you count my cat, and I think that is more of his allowing me to be his slave. :)

A Little Bit of Power

"You want to do what?" Harry asked quietly as he stared incredulously at the Potions Master.

Harry and Severus had been together since the end of the war. They had saved each other's lives so many times they had lost count. Somewhere, somehow they had learned to love each other.

"Oh come now Harry, it is not as impossible as you might think." Severus seemed likely to sulk if Harry didn't go along with him. "All it takes is a little bit of power and a potion to provide the base material."

Harry shook his head, "Just like it only took a, 'little bit of power' to destroy Voldemort?"

"Please do not say no." Severus gave Harry a look of entreaty, "Please?"

Harry sighed, Severus didn't often beg. "I'm not saying 'no' just, that I think we need to discuss it more thoroughly."

The tall man snorted, "That is a bit of a change for you. The noble Gryffindor, advising caution?" His eye brows were about to crawl into his hairline in shock.

Harry echoed the snort, "Fine, if you are sure this is what you want? Did you already brew the potion?"

Severus pulled a small vial from his pocket, cradling it gently in his long fingered hand.

Leaning closer, Harry grinned, "Its pink!" he sniggered, "looks like Tonk's hair."

The other man rolled his eyes, "Yes I agree it is a rather revolting color. Can we get on with this?"

Harry shrugged, "Oh by all means, after you." He gestured for his mate to lead the way. He watched the man's arse the whole time.

Later that night as they lay in bed cuddling they couldn't help chuckling over what they had done.

Harry snuggled closer mumbling, "That was brilliant Severus. Thank you for talking me into it."

Earlier:

The students of Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry were just sitting down in the great hall, when they and the most of the teachers were shocked to see the walls of the old castle turn a violent shade of bubble gum pink before marzipan, sugar and chocolate flowers, loops and lace blossomed all over the walls creating a veritable riot of color and confectionary delight during the Halloween feast.

Happy Halloween!
