Beginnings And A Theme Park: Part 1
Previously:
"So, where should we start, Severus?" Harry asked, his hand still in Severus'.
"Well, it's hard for me tosay this because I do not apologize to anyone, but, Harry, I'm sorry for..."
Snape stopped talking and looked at Harry. Harry continued his sentence for him.
"You're sorry for being a complete utter –" Snape cut him of before Harry could continue.
"I wouldn't even think of carrying on that sentence, Mr. Potter, as I might have to give you a detention when we get back to Hogwarts for calling me a rude name."
"How do you know I was going to call you a rude name, professor? For all you know, I could have said 'dunderhead,' like you call all your students." Harry smirked and thought, 'I was going to say utter dick, or arse. Well... let's mess with Severus' mind.' Harry silently laughed.
Severus thought he knew what Harry was going to say at the end of that sentence. He wasn't stupid for peat-sakes. Harry let go of Severus' hand and moved to look at the sun set again. Snape went to Harry's side and did the same. There was complete silence for about ten minutes until Harry spoke up.
"Do you hate me, Professor? And, please, I want the truth."
"No," Severus answered straight away.
"Really, Professor?" Harry asked, feeling slightly shocked. It felt like Snape had hated him since their eyes first met, before Harry got sorted into Gryffindor house.
"You asked a straight forward question, Harry. I'm not going to repeat myself," Severus said as he moved his foot in the sea.
"You do know that I don't hate you either, Severus?" Harry said as he watched Severus nod. "Good. Like I said on the plane; sometimes I dislike you when you are being a git, but I have never hated you. I appreciate all you've done for me, and I actually respect you for what you did over the years, during both wars. I think it was very brave, and I still think that you have that Gryffindor quality." Harry said, as he smirked at Severus.
"Before I got interrupted, I was going to say I was sorry for treating you like your father. I know now that you're nothing really like him. Over the years you have
proved me wrong about being like your father, and I'm sorry for that."
"It's okay, Severus, and I have to say sorry to you about looking into your pensive, and for throwing that fire cracker into that cauldron in second year."
"Apology accepted. Wait, you were the one who did it? Why you little brat. I knew it was you all along, and that's when my boomslang skins went missing as well,
wasn't it?" Severus demanded as he raised an eyebrow. Harry had his head down, and something about his feet in the sea became really interesting.
"Err, yes. But I didn't take them. Trust me."
"Then who did take them and please, I want a straight answer?" Severus questioned.
"Hermione," Harry mumbled.
"I didn't quite catch that, Mr Potter?"
"It was Hermione, but please don't blame her. It was all my idea."
"Well, I thought Miss Granger was better than a common thief. But I want to Know why did you take my boomslang skin?"
"We made polyjuice."
"I presume that the otherthird of the golden trio was involved as well?" Severus questioned.
"Yeah, you can say so." Harry said this bitterly. Severus noticed, but let it drop.
"And why did three second year Gryffindors make polyjuice?" Severus asked with a raised eyebrow.
"We thought that Malfoy was the heir of Slytherin."
"So that's why Miss Granger was in a cat form for a couple of weeks, then?"
"Yes," Harry couldn't help but laugh. "She thought that the hair she obtained was Millicent Bulstrode's, but it turned out to be cat hair from Millicent's cat."
"Well, this means I might have to punish you when we get back to Hogwarts, Mr. Potter and that's a promise," Severus said with a smirk.
"But this happened, like, six years ago!" Harry said. 'Great, me and my big mouth.' Harry thought to himself.
"Let's just say it's been long over due, Mr. Potter, and I remember I said I would get that student expelled."
"Well, I will just go walk ahead with my walk of shame so you can send me back to Hogwarts," Harry said, sulking, as he started to walk out of the sea onto the warmish sand. He slipped his flip flops back on and started to walk until a hand stopped him and turned him around.
"I was only joking Harry!" Severus said, with a bit of a laugh.
"Oh, Merlin! The dungeon bat of Hogwarts has just joked and laughed. The world must be ending." Harry said, as he started to laugh as well. Severus shook his head and put his shoes back on.
"Come on then, Harry, lets go back into the hotel for dinner."
They walked back up to the hotel together in silence until Harry started talking again. "Did you mean it when you said I was going to get punished?" Harry
asked Severus as they entered the hotel.
"I made a promise, Mr. Potter." Severus said with a evil smirk. Harry groaned and walked into the restaurant. Everyone was sitting down and Harry noticed the only seat was next to Ron. Harry quickly grabbed another chair from another table and saw a gap between Luna and Hermione. He put the chair between them.
"I need to speak to you after dinner. Somewhere private."
"Okay, Harry." Hermione said, as she picked up her menu.
Dinner passed quickly and Hermione took Harry to her room which she was sharing with the other two Professors.
"Are you sure I'm allowed in, Hermione?" Harry asked from the door way.
"Of course, Harry!" Hermione said as she dragged him in and closed the door. "Anyway, the professors are at the bar so they won't be coming back just yet.
So, Harry, whats wrong?" Hermione questioned as she sat on her bed.
"It's about Ron," Harry said bitterly and sat down next to her.
"I thought so. You glared at him all through dinner. What's happened now?"
"Well, you see, Ron has been keeping a secret that may upset you, Hermione."
"What?"
"He's been with Malfoy since the Halloween Ball."
"No, that can't be true!" Hermione said, as she looked at Harry with a hand over her mouth.
"I walked in on them in bed together, Hermione. I asked them some questions and walked away."
"You mean he's been using me like a play thing on the side." Hermione asked, as tears forced their way down her cheeks. Harry didn't say anything. He pulled
Hermione into a hug. She started to cry. It was like the time on the steps near Gryffindor Tower in sixth year again. Harry must of held her for at least an hour. Eventually, she fell asleep. Harry picked her up and pulled back the covers. He laid her down, removed her flip flops, and tucked her in.
He looked at her sadly and walked out of the door, closing it behind him. He walked his way back to his shared room. The door was not locked, as Severus had the key. He opened it, and saw that the bathroom door was closed.
'Severus must be in there,' Harry thought. He grabbed his sleeping clothes, changed quickly, got his book that was on his bed, and went out onto the balcony.
Severus on the other hand was having problems of his own in the bathroom.
"Ouch!" Severus hissed when the water from the shower hit his back. He washed his hair and body quickly and got out. He put his pyjama bottoms on and a tank
top. He hissed in pain again as the fabric of the tank top touched his burnt back.
Severus got out the bathroom and went over to the bed. He noticed that the balcony door was open. He went out to see that Harry was sitting in one of the white plastic chairs, reading.
Harry looked around to the door and saw Severus standing there in his night clothes. Harry smiled and closed his book.
"I thought you would be down stairs with your class mates?"
"Yeah, I was until a headach suddenly came on. So I said good night to everyone and came up here to read. Anyway I thought you would be at the bar with the other two professors?"
"I was, until I felt tired."
Harry got up from his seat. He walked past Severus and went into their room. Harry put his book onto his bedside table. He went over to the T.V, and turned around to face Severus.
"Do you mind if I turned it on for a bit?" Harry asked. Severus muttered a 'no' and Harry turned the T.V on. He grabbed the remote and went to the bed and sat
on his side. Harry turned his head a bit to see that Severus was sitting with his back to him. Harry noticed that his professor's skin was red on his neck. Severus laid down on his back and hissed in pain when his back came in contact with the bed. Harry noticed and looked to see Severus face in a bit of pain.
"Is your back bothering you?" Harry asked.
"Obviously, Mr. Potter!" Severus spat out.
"Do you want some after sun lotion to put on your back?" Harry said, concerned. Snape looked at Harry for a moment.
"Yes, if it decreases the pain."
Harry reached for the blue bottle that was next to his lamp on the bedside grabbed it and handed it over to him. Severus turned so his back was facing Harry. He took his tank top off and squeezed some lotion out and tried to reach her back to no avail.
Harry saw what he had done earlier today on Snape's back. He laughed mentally. Severus was struggling with touching his back.
"Here, let me help you." Harry shyly grabbed Severus's hand and scooped the lotion in his hands.
Severus nodded, still with his backturned. Severus held his breath as Harry's cold hands touched his back. Slowly Harry's other hand swept Severus's hair out of the way. Goose bumps made them selfs clear on Severus's neck as Harry felt the ma shiver. He went from the top of the neck to the shoulders and then back down.
Severus closed his eyes and let out a small whimper. It felt so good, but it hurt.
Severus hissed louder when Harry touched the middle of his back.
"Sorry!" said Harry, who had stopped rubbing his back for a second then continued gently. Severus shivered and groaned as Harry put some more of the cool after
sun on his back and arms. He softly rubbed in until it had dissolved.
Harry got the after sun lotion and closed the lid. What he didn't realize was that Severus had an arousing problem. Severus just tried to ignore it and cover it up
completely so Harry didn't see it, But it wasn't going dowm. Severus started thinking, "Voldemort in a bikini, Voldemort in a bikini!"
Harry put the lotion back on his bedside table. Severus on the other hand had relaxed so much when Harry massaged his back. He quickly picked up his tank top. He struggled to put it on as the fabric hit his back. Harry was watching him with every step he took to get the tank top on.
"Here, let me help you!" Harry said, as he rolled the tank top over Severus' back. Severus shivered from the touch and laid down on the bed with another hiss.
He relaxed though, afterward.
"With your sunburn I advise you to wear a shirt from now on if you want to go into the pool or go on a sunbed. You will probably start to peal in the next of couple of days. You might tan after, but it depends. What factor sun lotion do you have?" Harry asked.
"I have factor 30. Why?"
"That's not good enough. You have fair skin and that skin type needs extra protection form the sun's UV rays. I have a spear factor 60 that you can have."
Harry said as he got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. He picked up the spear bottle and went back into the room and handed it to Severus.
"Why do you care, Mr. Potter?" Severus asked.
"I just don't want you to suffer, Sir." Harry said as he sat on the bed. He picked the remote up and handed it to Severus. He on the other hand blinked in confusion.
"Have a look and see if there any English channels on it." Harry offered. Severus was going to say something until there was a sudden knock on the door.
"I'll get it!" Harry said as he jumped of the bed wondering who it was. He unlocked the door and opened it to see that Ron was standing there.
"Harry, I'm..." Ron was interrupted as Harry slammed the door in his face. Severus had to admit that he had jumped when the door slammed. He watched as Harry
locked it quickly and leaned against it.
"Harry, please let me in! I need my best friend to forgive me!" Ron shouted at the door. People who were passing Ron gave his the oddest looks. Severus was giving Harry a questioning look.
"Please Harry, I'm sorry I didn't tell you!" Ron shouted again. Harry though had enough and opened the door.
"You're sorry you didn't tell me, Ron. I thought I knew you better than that. I thought we told each other everything, but obviously not. Remember the time
you thought I was keeping information from you when we were trying to find away to destroy horcruxes? Well, I wasn't. True best friends tell each other things. What disgusts me even more is that you didn't even tell Hermione. You have been playing her about. I now have a heart broken best friend, thanks to you. All I have to say is stay away from her. You don't deserve a best friend like her or me. Keeping secrets like that can have an effect on people. I just can't believe I had to find out your secret when you and Malfoy were having sex." Harry said angrily.
"But, Harry, I'm sor..." Harry broke him off.
"No, you're not. You were going to carry on you affair with Malfoy while still not telling anyone. Just stay away from me and Hermione while in Spain. You have
destroyed Hermione's trip. Now get out of my face before I do something I'll regret." Harry said as he slammed the door again in Ron's face.
Severus looked at Harry in shock. Harry took a couple of deep breaths as he slid down the door with his face in his hands. Harry got up again and went to the bed. He lifted the light cover up and got in.
Harry put his hands behind his head and found that something about the ceiling was really interesting. A shocked Severus turned of the T.V with the remote and got into bed. He turned turned around to face Harry.
"I presume that my godson and Mr. Weasley are in a relationship?" Severus questioned.
"Yes!" Harry said bitterly.
"And for how long?"
"Since the Halloween Ball."
"Is that why you walked out of the hotel?"
Harry nodded. Severus sighed and gently turned on his burning back. "I can't believe that I didn't find out about this sooner. My own godson couldn't even tell
me." Severus thought to himself.
"It looks like everything is not as it seems. Anyway I have set the alarm for seven in the morning. Is that alright?" Harry asked.
"Yes, that will leave time to get ready before we set off at half past eight. Well, good night." Severus said as he turned his lamp off.
Harry was the first to wake. He gasped for air as he woke from his nightmare. He looked around and noticed it was just a nightmare. He also noticed that Severus was facing him again, and his arm was around his waist. Harry gently picked it up placed it on the bed as he got out. He looked at the clock and noticed it was six in the morning.
"Stupid nightmares!" Harry muttered to himself. He went over to his suitcase and rummaged through it to get what he needed to wear today. He went to the bathroom for a shower and to get ready.
Severus woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. He picked it up and threw it against the wall. Today is not his day, at all.
"What did that poor alarm clock do to you?" A dressed Harry asked as he walked out of the bedroom.
"It woke me up." Severus mumbled into his pillow.
"Well, you're buying a new one." Harry said as he went over to his bag and packed his fold up camera stand and other things he would need for today. Severus finally got ready and they both went down stairs to breakfast.
They sat down and Professor Thorpe told them all that they would be going to PortAventura. Everyone was extremely excited, except Severus.
By the time all of the students had finished eating breakfast, it was nearing 8:25. Professor Newton started to speak. "Everyone it's time to get on the bus!"
The students ran from the hotel to the bus to try claim the back seats, Harry and Hermione, though, weren't bothered where they would sit, as long as it wasn't next to Ron or Malfoy.
The Bus was a thirty-five seater, so there would be empty seats. Harry and Hermione got on and went to the middle of the bus. Harry offered the window seat to Hermione, and then sat next to her.
Snape got on the bus looking extremely annoyed. He sat with the other two professors. He sat in the seat by the isle like Harry had done. Professor Thorpe got out of her seat and took the microphone that was near the bus driver.
"Good morning students, and welcome to day one of the Muggle Study's trip!" The whole class started to cheer and shout. "Now calm down everyone. Now, listen carefully as this is only going to be said now, and repeated when we get there. Today we are going to a theme park called PortAventura which is only a twenty
minute ride on the bus, depending on traffic. Professor Newton will be our driver for today, and this is going to be our coach for the next two weeks so you can leave your things on it."
"How long will it take before we are there?" Ron shouted from the back seat. Obviously someone wasn't listening.
"Sorry, Mr. Weasley, but I am not going to repeat myself. You will have to wait till we get there!" Professor Thorpe said through the microphone.
Hermione turned around in her seat to see that Ron was embarrassed. Seamus and Dean who had sat across from Harry and Hermione saw the evil smirk on Harry's face.
"You two, why aren't you sitting with Ron?" Seamus asked.
"You can ask him that. Maybe then he can tell you the secret he's been hiding from us since Halloween. Anyway I don't want him to spoil my, or anybody else's trip to Spain," Harry said in a bitter tone. Severus who was sitting in the front heard that statement. He turned to face the isle and saw that Harry had a nasty look on his face. Hermione on the other hand had a painful look on her face. Harry noticed and put his arm around her and tightly squeezed her. She of course buried her face into Harry's shoulder. Harry started to whisper something in her ear. He could also sense that someone was watching him the whole time.
"Don't worry, Hermione. We will have a fantastic time to day. Just wait and see. Ron will have his upcommance." Harry promised his heart broken friend.
Severus instead now had a slight painful look on his face while watching Harry and Hermione. Harry caught his gaze and Severus quickly sneered and turned forward.
Seamus. Though, kneeled on his seat and shouted to get everyone's attention. "Right, guys, let's sing the song that we were taught last week, shall we?" he shouted.
"Go on then, Finnigan, you lead us!" Theodore shouted from the back. Seamus cleared his throat and started singing.
"Everywhere we go
Everywhere we go
The people want to know
The people want to know
Who we are
Who we are
Where we come from
Where we come from
Shall we tell them
Shall we tell them
Who we are
Who we are
Where we come from
Where we come from
We are from Hogwarts
We are from Hogwarts
The Mighty Mighty Hogwarts
The Mighty Mighty Hogwarts
We are the D.A
We are the D.A
The Barmy Barmy D.A
The Barmy Barmy D.A"
Everyone started cheering after the song had ended. Seamus was applauded, and he bowed and sat in his seat. Harry and Hermione had to laugh with the others. Harry noticed that the professors had joined in with the singing as well. Though Snape had his head hung and his hands over his ears. He also had his eye's closed.
Twenty minutes passed quickly and professor Newton parked the coach in the car park. They were lucky that there was no traffic. They all stayed in their seats and waited for instructions.
"Right everyone, welcome to PortAventura! The Headmistress before this trip decided that today you will be split up into three groups for safety reasons. The group needs to elect a group leader and also you will have a professor in your groups as well. It is now nine o'clock and we will meet for lunch at one at the Racó de Mer as a table is booked under Professor Newtons name. Don't worry it will be shown on your maps when we give you each your ticket and map. We will meet at the entrance at five thirty as the gates close at six. Does anyone have any questions?" She asked through the microphone.
Harry stood up from his seat and started to speak. "Professor, I need the whole group to meet up at certain times of the day for photo's to be taken." Harry said.
"Oh, yes. Each professor has a mobile so we will ring one another, Mr .Potter when you want the photos to be taken. Right when your names are called get off the bus and wait for the professor that's in your group, and then you can go. Please stick together. Okay then. Group one has Professor Thopre and in it are Mr. Weasley, Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Finch-Fletchley, Miss Bones, Miss Parvati Patil and Miss Abbott. Please collect your maps and tickets from Professor Thorpe outside the bus."
The students in group one got of the bus and went with Professor Thorpe.
"Group two are with Professor Snape and in it are Miss Granger, Miss Lovegood, Miss Parkinson, Mr. Potter, Mr. Finnigan and Mr. Nott!"
Seamus went to Harry and whispered. "We have to be stuck with the bat don't we?" Harry laughed. Group two got of the bus and went to Snape. The rest that was on the bus got off and stopped by Professor Newton.
Professor Snape got his group together and give each one their tickets and maps and started to speak. "Right, today I don't want you to run off from the group and I don't want any stupidity. All six of you need to decide on a group leader." he said and waited. "Well don't stand there, get on with it." Severus said as he waited.
"Does anyone know any Spanish?" Theodore Nott said to the group.
"I know Spanish!" Harry said to the group. Some of them looked surprised.
"Well, that's clear then. You're the leader Potter." Everyone else agreed and Severus lead them to the entrance of the park.
