Decorations

Harry slammed the door and leaned against it. He looked positively green. And Severus thought he would be ill at any moment. "Professor Potter, what pray tell, has you so spooked that you would brave my presence this early in the morning?"

Harry shivered, "You haven't been out there yet, have you?" He shuddered as he came away from the door, "It's all pink. You remember Umbrage's room? Like that," he took a deep breath, "only worse. It's almost the whole castle."

Severus straightened his spine and a tick started in his left cheek. He looked at the door. If what Potter said, was true, and his rooms where the only place not decorated for the odious day of dread… He shuddered. He really didn't want to go out there.

Harry whimpered, "Can I hide in here? Please, Severus."

There was a noise in the corridor beyond the door, they both pulled their wands and faced the door.

A large hart was forming as though it was being burnt in the wood of the door. The men looked at each other and began weaving wards to keep the decorations out. When they had done all they could, they slumped on the couch shoulder to shoulder, just as they had when Voldemort was finally defeated.

Severus sighed, "I need a drink."

Harry laughed, "Me too. But it's like seven in the morning and we really shouldn't."

Snorting Severus rose, "Since when have the rules ever mattered to you Potter?" He smirked as he looked over his shoulder, "Besides its Saturday."

Letting his head fall back on the cushions, Harry watched his former professor glide across the room to the small bar area. He noticed for the first time that the man was not wearing his teaching robes, but a long black gown like nightshirt. The silky material clung to the man's body, and while he was completely covered, it was extremely erotic.

Harry smiled as he accepted the large tumbler of alcohol Severus handed him as he sat back down.

After finishing his drink, Harry leaned lightly on Severus shoulder, "I think I'm drunk. I don't suppose I could sleep in your bed for a while could I?"

"Potter," Severus hissed, "If that is a proposition, it is the worst one I have ever heard."

"Oh." Harry frowned, "How 'bout: Be my valentine?" he then sniggered as Severus shoved him and he sprawled on his end of the sofa.

"You are being intentionally disgusting, Potter." Severus sneered.

Harry laughed, "Well, bugger me Snape."

He laughed even harder when Severus picked him up in a fireman's carry and headed for the bedroom saying, "Now that, I believe I can manage."

Hope you enjoy.
