Chapter Ten: Keeps Gettin' Better

Draco woke up, rushing to the toilet to puke his guts out. Ron quickly came besides Draco, rubbing his back. "I thought Snape gave you a potion for that?" Ron said with concern, helping Draco up and handing him some mouth wash.

"Severus did, it worked for the eight hours that a sickness potion is meant to last, but you wouldn't have known that." Draco snorted at the red heads thick brain for the art of potions.

"Oi! No taking it out on my useless talent for potions, not my fault your precious God father hates Gryffindors and treated us like crap since day one," Draco snorted at Ron's self defence as he was lead back to bed. "I'm hungry, might order something from phone service." Ron grumbled, changing the subject of conversation to food, like always. He started to rub his stomach, getting a pillow thrown at his head.

"Knock it off Draco!" Ron said, picking up the pillow on the floor and throwing it back at the annoying Slytherin.

"Stop thinking about your stomach when I'm ill. And to order food from a phone is called room service. Merlin help me, I'm with a brainless red head. I would have thought that you, of all people would know all about muggle life, seeing as Arthur is all about muggles." Draco said with disgust, holding his head high as he sat against the head board of the bed. Ron sighed, understanding that Draco wasn't acting superior; it was his way to tease and act all pureblood like when they were together.

"Blimey, you're a right git this morning. Get up Draco, some fresh air and decent food might help." Ron mumbled.

"Right, when we get back I'm getting you checked by a healer to see if you have a tape worm and I'm also staying in this room. Go. Tell one of the professors I'm not well and staying cooped up in here."

"I think you're the one in need of a healer and I am not leaving you alone." Ron snorted, picking up the phone. Draco put a hand to his stomach, hating having a weird feeling that this was not just a stomach bug. Ron watched as Draco turned a sudden shade of green again, watching the blonde get out of bed like lightning and slam the bathroom door behind him.

"Right, I'm getting the nearest Professors." Ron shouted, quickly running out of the room, in search of a cure for his boyfriend's sickness, though his gut told him it wasn't good.

Harry was glad that it was a free day for him and the other students to do anything they wanted to, before they started their Muggle Studies projects. The Professors had to place tracking charms on the students due to safety reasons, and allowed them the use of magic if in a dire situation. They were only to go around the rather big, but quiet, beautiful village of Cap Salou.

That meant no Barcelona.

He was disappointed and he could see the same in Severus's eyes that morning at breakfast as well. It was good that Harry had researched about the area months before hand. He had booked two places at a very expensive private spa that morning in the privacy of their hotel room since Severus looked like he was in need of some peace.

Harry was swimming in one of the private pools, in the beautiful Spanish gardens of Shades Spa that was technically outside of the village by a mile, but Harry was up for breaking rules as long as it was for Severus Snape. He slid beneath the water, the tan skin on his hands and feet turning wrinkled as he floated about in the pool. He swam a couple of laps before standing up in the shallow ends, shaking his hair and running a hand through the spikey wet mess.

His eyes met with the black swirling depths of Severus's eyes, who had a questionable amused eyebrow raised at him from the lounger he laid on. Harry agreed with the tiny voice in his head that Severus looked free. The sun does him good.

He had never noticed before, but as he looked upon Severus's deep set sun reflecting eyes, they were not black, but a rich chocolate colour, his hair had grown longer since the war and was no longer chin length, but now shoulder length. He had not shaved, which was unusual for the potions master too, but Harry liked the rugged 5 o'clock shadow. His skin was still shallow, but it was starting to tan slightly, plus the prank that Harry had pulled on the man was totally gone.

"Checking me out, Potter?" Severus snorted, crossing his arms for protection to cover his bare chest. Harry blushed, quickly going to the edge of the pool, resting his arms on the tiled edge.

"Maybe. Why, is it against the law?" He said with a cheeky grin, which made Severus jump off his lounger and move towards Harry, kneeling down in front of the brat.

"I'm sure with your Lord titles ... That you can get that law passed." Severus brawled, his mouth mocking his famous sneer. Harry's mouth dropped, not expecting a comeback like that. Severus now held a smug winning face, which Harry wanted to swipe away. He spun with his arms together, making a big wave of water go all over the Potions Master.

"Whoops." Harry laughed as he watched the water dripping from the man's hooked nose.

"BRAT!" Severus bellowed, wiping the water off his face.

"Yeah, what you gonna do about it?" Harry taunted back as he pushed off the wall and into the water. He started to swim to the Jacuzzi area that was connected with the pool. He held his breath as he swam, not hearing the small splash from the other side of the pool. He came back up, looking for Severus who wasn't anywhere to be seen. Harry felt movement by his feet, strong hands taking hold of his waist as he was dragged under with force.

Harry was pushed to meet the pool wall, his body being pressed against Severus's as they both emerged from the shallow end of the pool.

"Oi! There was no need for that." Harry huffed, breathing deeply. Severus leaned in, his arms going to either side of Harry, trapping him in place as he leaned in.

"Never play games you cannot win with a snake." Severus hissed as his lips started to attack Harry's neck. He gasped as Severus bit down, his arms coming around the man's neck and his legs coming around the man's waist. Harry groaned as Severus licked over the mark.

"That was for earlier this morning ... Brat." Severus grunted out. This brat just had to get him frustrated and the legs wrapped around his waist weren't helping.

"Not my fault you walked in on me in the shower, but I'm glad you did because..." Harry paused, biting his lip.

"Continue."

"Because I wouldn't be here with you right now and if you hadn't returned my half drunken but true feelings, you probably would have sent me back to Hogwarts and made the rest of my last year a living hell." Harry admitted, pushing a piece of stray wet hair out of the man's face.

"How unfortunately true..." Severus let his voice linger, earning a prod. Harry rolled his eyes and unwrapped himself from Severus, grabbed the man's hand to drag him into the Jacuzzi and pushed him down on the tiled seats, and then Severus dragged him down to straddle his lap.

"I brought us in here to relax, not to straddle your lap." Harry huffed, trying to make his way off, but Severus's hands grabbing his waist tightly.

"Maybe this is my way of relaxing."

"What, with someone on your lap? Why, I thought you were a very sexual being during the war. Other people, like some of your Slytherins, think that you were and are dormant."

"Of course my Slytherins know my personal sexual status." Severus said sarcastically, snorting at Harry's words.

"Anyway, we are meant to be taking things slow." Harry teased the word slow, slowly. Severus smirked, and Harry had to wipe it off the man's lips. He kissed the man with heat and passion. They both groaned as Harry adjusted his hips so that his hardening member met Severus's equally hard one.

The breeze picked up a bit and a snow leopard patronus came to face them both at the edge of the Jacuzzi. Severus opened his eyes as they both felt the prickle of something magical near. The Potions Master groaned and grunted something under his breath as he knew that this wasn't going to be good.

"I apologise for whatever I am interrupting Severus, but I am in need of your extra healing expertise as Mr. Malfoy hasn't improved from last night. It looks like one of us might have to take him back to Hogwarts." The voice belonged to Professor Thorpe and it did sound urgent. They both watched as the patronus roared and turned to run between the bushes, disappearing in the distance.

"That's twice now that Malfoy has interrupted," Harry muttered, rolling his eyes. "They say it come in three's."
