PDA
As Harry Potter walked to his place at the round table that had replaced the normal long tables in the great hall during the Christmas holidays, he allowed his hand to trail across Severus Snape's shoulders, lightly brushing the tips of his hair. He then leaned over to place a gentle kiss on the man's cheek. "Good morning. Happy Christmas, Severus."
"Potter, are you completely incapable of proper behavior?" Severus sneered over the twittering of the dozen or so students and other teachers around the table.
Harry considered briefly before grabbing a fist full of long dark hair and twisting Severus face up to kiss him thoroughly. When he pulled back he smirked, "There, that's a bit more of a 'proper' good morning."
Severus felt Harry caress the back of his neck as his fingers slid from his hair soothing the slight sting of pulled hair. His eyes opened slowly to focus on his plate as he dared not look at anyone seated at the table. He concentrated on his occlumency exercises as he felt his cheeks start to heat up although he thought it was more excitement than embarrassment.
Harry sat and smiled around at everyone, "Good morning, happy Christmas everyone."
"Professor Potter, might I remind you, again, that we do not encourage public displays of affection." Minerva McGonagall chastised her former student. "And I believe you owe Professor Snape an apology for embarrassing him in such a manor."
Severus snorted, "It is your own fault, Headmistress. If you would allow us share quarters, Mr. Potter would not feel the need to act out in public."
There was more giggling from the students. The past term had been punctuated by such displays. The DADA Teacher was constantly touching the grouchy Potions Master. They had been observed snogging in several locations throughout the school, including against the wall in the dungeon, as well as under a tree by the lake and even in the DADA classroom.
McGonagall pursed her lips. "It is inappropriate for an unmarried couple to share quarters, and I will not discuss it further."
Harry stood again, kicking his chair out of the way. "Fine!" He turned to Severus, "I was going to do this in private, but…" He pulled something out of his pocket as he knelt, "Severus Snape," he flipped open the small box to display the promise ring within, "Will you do me the honor of becoming my life partner? Will you marry me?"
Severus glared, "If it will get you to cease this foolishness, yes."
Harry smiled as he stood sliding the ring onto Severus finger, "Today?"
Severus snorted before smirking, "It is Christmas day, Potter, who do you think you are going to get to officiate today?" He shook his head and rolled his eyes as though wondering about the younger man's sanity.
Harry grinned as he righted his chair and sat, "We have to be at the Weasley's this afternoon. Neville will be there. I'm sure he or Arthur would be able to do a quick ceremony for us."
Severus snorted again as he returned to his breakfast, "I would prefer Arthur but if you think Minister Longbottom can get through the words without stuttering," he shrugged indifferently, "then I suppose he would do."
When they were finished with breakfast the other teachers all congratulated the newly engaged couple, many of them doing so with hugs.
Minerva even relaxed enough to lightly embrace each of them whispering to Severus that she would have their new rooms ready by the time classes started again as she did so.
Part 2
When they arrived at the Burrow for dinner Severus assisted Harry with his jacket while Harry juggled the pies that the Hogwarts elves insisted he bring to the party.
As Severus hung Harry's jacket and his own cloak by the door Harry took their offering to the kitchen.
Severus nodded to several members of the extended Weasley family and spoke briefly to others. Harry's friends and family had all accepted that he and Harry were together but most were still respectfully wary of their former Potions Professor.
Everyone was surprised by a screech from the kitchen and Severus froze as Molly bore down on him. He didn't even have time to defend himself from her assault as she tried to suffocate him in a bruising embrace.
"Molly, Please…" Harry groaned, before turning to Arthur with an imploring look.
Nearly everyone in the house was now aware that something was up. Especially when Molly started babbling about making plans while still holding Severus about the waist with one arm and snagging a hold of Harry with the other.
Before Severus could explode Harry shouted, "Mum!" which was enough to silence the woman long enough for Harry to continue, "We wanted to ask Dad to do a simple ceremony after dinner." He looked over at Arthur, "What do you think, Dad? Could you take a few minutes to marry Severus and me?"
To say that his words caused chaos to erupt would be the largest of understatements. Again Severus was subjected to many hugs, claps on the back, and even a few kisses on his cheek from some of the female members of the family.
Eventually things settled down and Arthur chuckled, "I'd be happy to officiate, on the promise that you continue to call me Dad." Harry grinned and nodded. "Alright then, Molly," he turned to his beaming wife, "Make sure nothing in the kitchen will burn, as weddings should go before feasts."
Ginny appeared in the kitchen door, "Already done Dad." She smiled. "Colon, Love, nothing in the paper till Harry says."
The young man nodded, "Of course Dear." He then smiled, "I'll see you get a copy of everything Harry." He paused, "I do have a suggestion. The pictures would be absolutely grand if you were over by the tree." The hyperactive boy had grown into a competent photo journalist.
Throughout the evening many of those in attendance noticed the newlywed couple doing subtle things, serving or feeding each other different foods and fetching drinks for each other as well as small touches to the arm or back. Things that if one were not watching closely one might not notice at all. Colon's camera captured them all.
Part 3
Harry insisted they go to an expensive hotel for the night, saying that he intended to give Severus a proper honeymoon. Severus was surprised to have Harry press him against the wall of the elevator on the way to the honeymoon suite, and snog the hell out of him. The fact that it was a glass elevator and everyone in the lobby and the ground-floor restaurant, not to mention once they got above the third floor, everyone in the surrounding area could potentially see them was a bonus. Severus was beginning to realize that he liked the idea of everyone knowing he and the handsome young man were together.
Once in their room they couldn't get to the bed quick enough for Severus. He pulled at Harry's clothing and his own. Once they were sprawled on the bed Severus rolled onto his back pulling Harry on top of him. He wrapped his long lean legs around the younger man, pulling him closer, straining against him.
Harry slid his hand down Severus' side and around to his bum, his fingers tracing his cleft to his opening. He teased the sensitive skin causing Severus to moan. It never ceased to amaze Harry how sensitive and vocally responsive Severus could be.
When Severus demanded, "Potter if you don't fuck me now, I may just hex you into next week." Harry grinned and said the lubrication spell as he inserted one finger, causing Severus to moan again.
The spell, of course, wasn't as good as the oil that Severus made for them, but Severus had been caught a bit unprepared, thinking that they would return to his or Harry's quarters at Hogwarts.
Harry made fairly quick work of preparing Severus, mumbling endearments and words of love the whole time. They both groaned as Harry slid into Severus. Once fully buried, Harry held still as he looked deep into Severus' eyes, "I love you."
"I am aware of that and return the sentiment." Severus growled before shouting, "Now Move!" Harry laughed but did as Severus wished.
Much later as they lay cuddling and almost asleep, Severus whispered softly, "Merry Christmas, Harry." He then added almost too low for Harry to hear, "I love you."
Harry sighed and smiled as he settled into a deeper sleep.
And I hope you all have as happy a Christmas as our Harry and Severus *sighs*.

A/N: I think I have a little something for everyone in this one. Melissa's wish for a PDA is responsible for the name on this as well as what got me thinking on the idea. It also has elements for everyone else; I tried to keep Severus in Character and a bottom for snow. It is an established relationship for Torina and Professor Harry for Yuki.
