Hello Beauties, I felt inspired, so I wrote this chapter. There is a little bit of action, but no lemon yet. Sorry it's so short, I am watching my two month neice. I hope you enjoy.

I woke the next day in an unfamiliar bed, with a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist. I opened my eyes slowly, and looked around. The room was colored in silver and emerald, so I figured it was a Slytherin's room. When I rolled over, however, I didn't recognize the man I was sleeping next to from any of the class year's attending this year. I raised a hand, and traced my fingertips over the fine arched eyebrows, furrowed in concentration even in sleep. From there my exploration continued down to the thin sunken cheeks, and pale lips. Finally my bed partner stirred, turning his face into my hand, and inhaling deeply. Coal black eyes opened and met mine, turning from sleepy to loving in an instant.

"Good morning, beloved." I heard him whisper in a husky voice. Then the events from the day before came rushing back. I smiled shyly, and buried my face into his chest, nuzzling the bare skin I found there. It was then I noticed that Severus was naked from the waist up, and my cheeks reddened in a furious blush. I heard Severus laugh, and felt him card his fingers through my hair. "It's alright, darling. I will not force you."

I whined in submission, and pressed myself closer to him, feeling an answering growl rumble up from his chest. "You're tempting me Harry. That's never a good thing to do." I felt his fingers skim down my spine, and shivered sensually against him. "I love you Harry."

I paused, unsure of what I should say. I felt deep feelings for him, yes. But did I love him? This was the man who had been particularly cruel to me the whole time I was in school. It doesn't matter, said the voice of my wolf. He is our mate; he will protect us, and never allow harm to come to us! I knew my wolf was correct, Severus wouldn't allow anything bad to happen to me, even if he had hated me as vehemently has he claimed. "I love you, too." I said tentatively, tilting my face up to kiss him.

At first, Severus remained still, as if he were shocked that I returned the sentiment, and had kissed him. After a few seconds though, his shock wore off, and he returned my kiss with vigor, growling low in his throat. Before I could stop myself, I heard an answering whimper work its way out of my throat. I went limp against him, willing to let him do whatever he wished. He rolled us, placing his larger body over mine, and moving his lips down to my neck. I felt my body arch into his, and heard the low whine that issued from my mouth.

"So responsive, yet so innocent, and all mine." I heard his husky voice say, and dimly I realized I had heard that phrase before. From one of my dreams, I recalled that I had heard a voice say that to me, and smiled when I connected that I had indeed been dreaming of my mate, my Severus. I tilted my head back, digging my nails into his shoulders, and hearing the hiss of pleasure.

"Please Sev, please!" I heard myself whimper out. I felt his wolfish smile against my neck, and felt his nimble fingers fondle my nipples, forcing me to release a breathy cry. Before we could go any further however, there was a knock at the door. Severus growled in irritation, determined to ignore the knock, and continue where he had left off. He continued nipping, and licking at my chest, and growled again when the knock sounded again. I smiled, and patted his shoulder reassuringly, before getting up, and going to answer the door. I opened the door, and saw Professor Dumbledore waiting outside. When he saw me, his blue eyes widened, and he seemed almost happy to see me.

"Mr. Potter! How long have you been back? When did you get back?" He franticly asked. He looked up over my shoulder as Severus emerged from his room. He did not look happy that Dumbledore was there, and like he wanted more than anything to be alone with Harry.

"I found him last night, Albus." Dumbledore looked at Severus in a confused manner, like he couldn't recognize him. "It's me, Albus, Severus." Dumbledore nodded in recognition, and entered Severus' room. I quickly stepped aside, and watched as the two men talked quietly. I walked around Severus' room, taking in everything that made my mate his own individual. I gazed at all the potions he had labled and set upon his shelves, and ran my fingers over the bottles lightly.

"Harry, what are you doing?" I heard Severus ask, and turned to look at him curiously. "What are you doing, my love?" He had walked up behind me, and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Just looking around." I said, swallowing thickly when I felt his fingers tickling my stomach. I felt the muscles shiver sensually as he continued to run his fingertips over my stomach. "Professor Dumbledore, could you leave us alone please?" I asked breathlessly, and heard the professor mumble something about needing to speak to Hagrid, and hastily leave. As soon as the door shut, Severus began rutting against me, pressing his erection between my ass cheeks. "Sev, please!"

I felt one of his hands trail down to my cock, brushing against it through my pants. "Is this where you need me?" He asked huskily, unzipping my pants, and pulling my cock out of my pants. I froze, and shivered sensually, feeling Severus shiver against me. Severus continued to rut against me, stroking my cock as he neared his own release. I finally stiffened, and released into his hand, feeling a rush of warmth against my backside as Severus came as well. When we could both think coherently again, he cast a spell to clean us up, and carried me to his bed.

"How can you lift me so easily?" I asked sleepily. "You have barely any muscle." I pointed out, poking his bicep curiously.

I heard Severus laugh, and felt him kiss my forehead tenderly. "I am stronger than I look beloved." He said, laying me down onto the bed, and covering me with his blankets. He slipped in behind me, and spooned against me. As I lay surrounded by his warmth, I felt the tendril's of sleep tugging at me. I yawned tiredly, and tried to fight sleep. "Go ahead darling. I will still be here when you wake." Severus said.

I spun around in his arms, and nuzzled into his neck. As I breathed in his delicious scent, I started to fall asleep, and eventually started to snore lightly as I fell asleep.

Well beauties, there it is. Leave me some reviews and cookies.

Forever Yours,
