It started, so it began

by anon hufflepuff

Severus Snape is a bitter and twisted man who, after the war, does not see the point anymore. It leads to one act of fxck it all, after his mind snaps at the audacity of one particular student. What he doesn't realise it that student will change his life forever. M.A. sexual content from the beginning. Read warnings.

So here it is and here are the warnings.

This snape is a bastard insecure and childish with a flair to the dramamtic.

There is sexual themes throughout. It will cover, mlm, dubious consent, rape, sexual assault, light bondage, sex. These will be described. These will happen from the beginning.

Snape is not a representative of a healthy dom dynamic! or even veguely a healthy relationship or even person in this story. he does have personal growth.

Harry is an angry man in this fic

It is littered with swear words so... There is that too.

All people in the fic that are written in a sexual way are adults.

The writer of this fiction is dyslexic and has other issues. The grammar and spelling maybe a little inventive at times.

I don't own any of the characters blah blah.

oh yeah implied murder.. can't forget that one, sorry.

enjoy guys of your still reading it after that anyway.

It started on night patrol and he was sick and tired of that bullshit. The same way he was sick and tired of teaching. The same way he was sick and tired of his life. He had caught them frotting together in an alcove and he sneered down at them. Sending the hufflepuff away to Filch and meeting green eyes and a defiant jutt of a jaw.

" Your problem is, you don't have anyone to fuck. You're disgusting.." Harry said breathing hard into the air and he was actually going to walk away from him. Turning away head held high and shoulders back as he took his first step.

He lost control at that point. He pushed him up against a wall face first. Slid his hand down into his pants and tugged and pulled on his still hard prick. Every moan, every utterance and every curse word a victory. As he noted him melting into the wall in front of him. Little arse bumping against his groin. Until his cum sprayed over his hand and against his clothes. Spinning him around he licked the cum of his hand slowly. Deep pools looking Harry straight in the eye.

" Yet I still made you shoot your load." And he left on silent feet. Seething. White hot rage burning in his veins.

Fuck it all.

The knock on his door later that night made him curse and wrap a dressing gown over his naked body. He stared down at this pathetic little shit.

" You can't do that." He said sounding pathetic.

" i just did." He sneered back. Harry's jaw dropped." I didn't fuck you. If I had it would of been much rougher and I would of actually cum. " He spat out the words and then slammed the door in his face.

He turned up the next day in his lab.

" What the fuck Potter go away." He screamed as he turned and saw him.

" Detention." He shot back.

" Just fuck off." He said quieter.

" I bet you wouldn't have the bollocks." This made his head snap up and a sneer go across his face.

" To do what exactly?" And the red hot feeling burnt into his eyes.

" To fuck me." He said sneering back and then going over to the sink to wash the couldrons. It was like he was doused with cold water. The sensation didn't last long as he watched Potter standing by the sink. Being a smug brat. Just doing what he wasn't even asked to do before.

" Just fuck off Potter." He said again and the man actually laughed at him.

He worked for a few minutes longer before stripping his fucking tee off his back. He must of lost his fucking mind. Dimples showed on the lower back just above his waist band. He imagined for just a moment sticking his thumbs in those dimples. It was the last straw. The utter disrespect for his space, his sanity, his privacy.

He glided across the room and warded and silenced it. Oh he was going to fuck him. He was going to fuck him raw. He shot a prep spell at him and Harry stood and stiffened.

" Bend over then you little fuck." He ordered and Harry braced himself against the sink sticking his arse out further into the air.

He pulled the tracksuit bottoms down and then he looked down at his arse. It was round and pert, muscles bunching under the skin. He smiled before spreading the cheeks wide and looking at his little pink hole before doing what he needed too. Gods he was going to enjoy this. He lined himself up and slid into him. Relishing in the feel of flesh wrapping round his cock once more. Tight flesh. Hot flesh. He slammed his dick into him over and over. Rocking back and forth enjoying the sensations. Driving deep into the shit. He noted Harry's nuckles were white his breathing hard. Yeah you didn't think I had the balls did you and shifted and slammed into him again. A moan ran round the room. It made the hairs on the back of his head stand tall. He roughly pulled on his hair. Pulling his head back into his shoulder as his hips slammed back and forth.

" Enjoying this harry are you. Liking my dick in your arse." And to his surprise the man was flush his pupils blown and he nodded before groaning again. He let go. Pushing his head forward and he grabbed hold of his hips and splayed his arse cheeks reaching deep and at the right angle.The swear words and noises rang out into the room and Severus came with a roar. To his surprise the sink was covered in Harry's own cum.

" Your disgusting." He accused before waving his hand over the sink but he watched with satisfaction as Harry carried on working on shakey legs. He wouldn't dare tell Severus he didn't have the balls. He quietly seethed until the man left. It took hours to calm down from being around him so long.

The next lesson he had with him the arrogant twat showed he didn't think he had to listen. Why he thought his last year would be any different to his previous ones he had no idea. So the fact that he made a couldron explode was no surprise to anyone except to him, apparently. His eyes darted to him and he sneered. Promising consequences.

" Potter you utter idiot." He drawled. "Stand at the front of the class. I will speak to you after." He stood by his desk face down and blushing. Yeah you should be worried. Especially as he spent the rest of the class sorting out the injuries. Selfish twat only shielded himself. As the last student left the door slammed behind them. The wards and silencing charms went up and he turned to the man seething.

"Does your brain work, is there actually anything in there. Why, oh why, are you such a dumb fuck?" He opened his mouth to speak. .."Oh, spare me Potter." he sighed. Why did he even bother to get through his thick skull. " One more incident and I'm removing you from the class. Do you understand " And the green eyes shot up at him, angry, defiant. " No good looking at me like that. I decide who I teach and I have no idea why I kept you on." He sneered

"Maybe it's because of my fine arse." Harry threw back, and he stared at him. The audacity.

"It was a good hole to fuck and nothing more. "

"Then why did you call me by my name?" Severus checked the time maybe some old fashioned discipline was in order. He moved to his desk. Sat in his chair.

"Come here." He said pointing to a spot next to him, he did so. He forced the man across his knee. Small framed as he was. He was still to large for this really but maybe a good spanking is what he needed. He didn't protest as he pulled his trousers down. Just hitched his breath.He let rip on his arse looking down with saitsfafrion as the cheeks turned pink and then beneath him.

Grunts and small cries came from Harry and that gave him satisfaction too. Deep satisfaction, pooling in his groin. He pulled his sore cheeks apart and looked at the bobbing little ball of pink muscle. He waved a hand over his arse and then prised the cheeks apart again. He thrust two fingers straight inside the lubricated arse hole and a cry met his ears. He smiled, deeply satisfied by the ringing noise. Glaring down splaying a hand on his lower back. Forcing the cheeks apart with long fingers. So he could watch his other hand delve deep inside him. Two fingers pulling those muscles wide.

He waited for the change in those moans and groans. Waited till they seemed to pitch to a certain level just so that he could pull those fingers out of his gaping hole. The gasp and keening that came from his lap made his smile broaden again. He pushed Harry off his lap and watched him tug up his trousers noting the large erection tenting them before he tucked it away.

"Do not disapoint me agian." He said before rising and walking sharply from the room.

He noted that harry was uncomfortably sitting at dinner and he revelled in the fact that he had done that. He had made him sit with a sore arse and probably an erection as well. As he walked round the quiet halls for his patrol he wondered idly who he would find Potter with this time round. He was nothing but a little slut. He held onto his bitterness wrapped it around himself. He hissed at mrs Norris when she dared come near him and she skittered away. He heard grunts and moans and moved quietly down the hall.

" Detention." He yelled as he turned into a room. Ron and Hermione shot out from behind a desk. Gods everyone was like rabbits in this place. Fucking over everything. He was suprised the floors weren't slick with cum. "Filch. Now. " He ordered pointing them in the direction of his office.

With weary bones and an acid mouth Severus stomped back into his room. The door caught on something so he slammed it shut harder. He ate, he washed, he laid down and played with his cock for a while but his heart wasnt really in it. So he let it rest on his stomach. Sighing he looked up at the ceiling. Gods this life was shit. Bloody fucking pointless too.A hot and tight sensation glidded down his cock and he peered down at it but although he knew it was there it had disapeared. He stared down at where it should of been for a moment and a heavy sensation dropped onto his groin. Then it felt like his cock was glidding and slipping inside something that felt imesurably good. He grunted at the feeling.

Horny ghost, he wondered idly as he felt the impact of something heavy landing ontop him over and over. Letting the feeling of being thoroughly fucked enter his brain. It wasn't for a while that he realised he was gripping something solid hovering and bucking over his dick. He must of been holding on for a while guiding the feeling to the way he really liked it. He delved deep inside someone and he moaned. At this point did it even really matter who. His hands bit down into the invisible body he was clutching scratching his nails into the invisibility. His hands wrapped into some form of cloth as his muscles tensed from pleasure rocketing through him. A swish of material falling and slowly an image was revealed, one that blasted into his brain imediately. Harry , wanton and back arched. Rubbing his own dick, a blush running up his naked chest and over his face. Lips parted. Completely naked and the sight made him grip onto his hips and thrust deep with a cry and hot cum spurting into the man bouncing on him . He came back to himself just in time to hear Harry cry out and feel the hot cum spurt onto his stomach at Harry's own hand eyes shut face pointing up, skin shining, chest crimson. Chest heaving.. another image he would probably never unsee again in his life time.

Harry then just stared at him. Heaving bodily. Sitting on his shrivelling dick. Still wedged inside him.

"What the fuck do you think your doing?" He exclaimed. His hands still held his hips. He should just push him off and be done with it. He could actually get him expelled from this he was sure. Harry just carried on staring before he flopped forward onto his chest.

"Cumming. It's been a long arse day."Came the reply and Severus felt a short clipped bark of a laugh coming out of his chest. It was funny he consoled himself, even if it did come out of the brats mouth.

His body felt weightless and the weight and warmth on his chest kept pulling him down for sleep. He was damned if he was going to fall asleep with a stinking brat on his chest. So he cast a cleaning charm and then tried to move him off his chest. He was like a dead weight though.

"Harry for fuck sake get off and go to bed. " The head popped up off his chest.

"I'm in a bed." And it crashed back down onto his chest. That was it he pushed and pulled the man till he was off of him and then wrapped in his cloak and sent him on his way. Sending a stinging hex to his arse as he left. A yelp met his ears. Severus grinned.

The next lesson wasn't for another 4 days and when it arrived Severus decided to put the whole afair behind him.He didn't have the same anger he did have and it was dangerous for his job to be caught fiddling one of the students. Well, that was his intention anyway. Harry sat in perfect stillnes and attentiveness. He did not make a mistake. This was disturbing enough as it was, and he had hoped he could drop him out of his classes entirely, but the spanking had worked too well. Now he was actually paying attention.

More disturbing were the flashes of images that were being projected into his brain. He was sure it was a form oclomency and he wasn't sure if Harry was even aware that he was doing it but the image of him splayed across a desk as Severus pumped his cock in him. The thought of Harry sucking Severus's cock. Made the 2 hour session pretty difficult.

It became quite clear that Harry was at least partly aware of what he was doing. Thoughts were shot at him in corridors or when he walked in the grounds. Always started by the sight of green eyes following him in his wake or the sight of his muscled back and shoulders as the man walked away. The great hall was the hardest, with images of them fucking in the food in front of everyone to see. He wasn't going to give into such a tactic though. He wasn't about to seek him out again. Ever again. So he held his walls high. Which Harry always seemed to get through. Then he just ignored the images all together or at least tried too.

The walls crumbled after the third day after that lesson and 4th wank. It was just past curfew and he spotted the wild hair and gryfindor uniform from the end of the hall. He followed at a distance curious to see what he was up to on a wednesday night. It wasn't his usual shagging scedule. Which was always on the weekend, he was aware. His frown grew deeper as he was led further into the castle. This was stupid. Gods Severus your life is so fucked up. You're follwing a teenager to go and see him fuck someone else. He carried on following him though.

He walked into a deserted class room. Ha. He thought but no sound came forward. He checked if wards or charms had been put up that he had missed but there was none. His curiousity peeked. He walked into the room.

"Took you fucking long enough. What did you think I was doing fucking a hufflepuff again.? Harry was sitting on a desk legs slightly splayed apart, look of annoyance on his face.

"I don't care who you fuck Potter. I just want to know why you're out after curfew." Harry rolled his eyes.

"I want some glorious dick and I haven't had some for quite a while now."

"Beg." He sneered. Voice laiden with spite. What he had expected to happen then he didn't know but Harry pushing himself off of the desk and making his eyes go big and doe like as he walked over to him. Holding his body flush against him and his voice low a note of pure and utter erotic wanting saying.

"Please Severus, fuck my arse till I scream." Then running a hand across his chest. "Make me cry. Go so deep inside me that I feel you for a week. you're so very good at it." Was not what he had been expecting.

His ears rang at the words and his body took over, he pushed him up against a wall and sent spells flying at the door that with a slam swung shut. Echoing it's loud closure around the halls.

He kissed him.

Their lips met and there was no resistance. Just a body melting under his arms. He explored around his mouth, mapping out every part of him. His hands were splayed over Harry's arse and he lifted him into the air and pinned him against the wall. His head dipped into his neck. Harry's hands first worked on his shirt and then Severus's, inbetween panting moans and cries. Severus's teeth sunk into his soft flesh and left red and dark bruises in a line from shoulder to ear.

Their chests clashed together, and Severus wanted more. So he carried him over to the teacher's desk and laid him out on the cold surface, watching as Harry arched his back slightly to the cold.He looked down at this perfect little specimen, hair dishevelled, eyes bright, chest bare and shirt pooling around him. He leant down and rubbed his nipples noting how quickly they went to attention at his touch. He grumbled into the air and then leant down and sucked and nipped his chest. Harry's hands swept over his back and up into his hair and then down his back again, leaving little fluttering feelings all over his skin like ants marching over it.

"Pleae Severus." The voice was soft, and the passion grew within him. He pulled back and worked Harry's trousers off before letting his own drop to the floor. He looked at his impressive cook, all cream, and tipped red. Hard and waiting. He ran his hand down his chest and too his thigh before hooking it up and over his arm. Adjusting so that he could gain the perfect access with his other hand. He laid his hand under his prick and then dipped his fingers into his perfect lubricated arse. Gods it felt tighter than before, it felt like it was claiming him, sucking him in. He worked and watched, and the writhing man in front of him made him want to just lean in and kiss him again. So he did and it was like that with their lips connected that he guided his cock to his hole before hooking the other leg around his arm and plunging into him. The sound of their smacking hips filled the air. Harry moaned into his mouth and then pulled away biting down on Severus's neck as he whimpered. He pulled away agian.

"Harder Severus." He pleaded and his hands grasped his back like he meant for every inch of him to go inside him. The desk started slidding noisily across the floor as Severus slammed into him. Fucking the both of them into oblivion. Sharp nails dug into him and hot mouth attached itself to his neck once more. Every muscle strained every part of him worked to completion. Harry completley untouched cried out into the air and bucked beneath him hot spray hit Severus's chest and the smell of his cum made the world turn black for a moment with a loud bellow.

He was next aware a few moments later as he blinked the spots from his eyes. Laying on top of Harry. Who was slowly running his finger tips up and down his back. Murmuring quietly.

" You're so good Severus. That was so good. You're so good.' Over and over. He hated himself for it but he could of stayed in that moment forever.

He moved himsrlf off his chest and his face hovered just a few inches above Harry's. Blinking, unsure of what just happened . Not able to hate himself for it though. Harry pushed himself up and placed a soft kiss to his lips before letting his head crash down. Severus's mind went blank at that action. Then he pulled himself away.

His mind raced telling him to get his clothes, get dressed, get going. To close, to much, to tender. He moved around and gathered his things as Harry propped himself up on his elbows to watch. He quickly shoved his clothes back on. Then his eyes landed on Harry and the mans eyes looked sad even if his face was smooth and unreadable.

He hesitated staring into those eyes.

He crossed the room and dipped down, and lightly kissed his lips. Soft strokes of warm and slightly damp flesh the only part of them that touched. Before leaving the room as fast as he could. He didn't sleep that night. Mind whirling till the early hours of the morning.

At breakfast, Severus saw that Harry wasn't even attempting to cover the large bruises across his neck. Every now and then, he would raise a hand to the marks, and he sat and ignored his breakfast nearly completely until Hermione forced him to eat some toast. Severus had himself used a salve to get rid of most of his just keeping the one over his collar bone that nobody else would see. Why? He did not know. He couldn't let Harry walk around like that, though. So he walked along the tables before the golden trio left and stood amongst their gaggling group. It took a moment to realise he was there.

"Put this on your neck at once." He said profering the salve to Harry.

"No." He answered looking defiant.

"This is a school you can't walk around looking like that."

"Why not." Severus glared at him. If he only knew the danger of what those marks actually meant.

"Why do you want to hold onto something so ugly.?" He said wrinkling his noise at him.

"Because they mean something or at least I thought they meant something." He said before snatching the salve from his hand and rushing out of the room. Everyone was looking at him wide eyed.

"I'm sure there are classes to attend." And everyone scurried off after Harry.

It wasn't till morning break that he saw Harry again. His neck was bruise free and for some reason that actually really bothered him. He rubbed at his collar bone idly. Since when did this start . The boy needed discipline so he went over.

"Potter, detention after dinner."

"For what?."

"For your outburst this morning." He sneered at him..

"No. I wont go." Severus stared at him in disbelief.

"Excuse me?." And then Harry suprised him by coming up into his face.

"I said no. I'm not having a detention for having to get rid of something that, had, up until that moment, meant something. I am an adult and it's a fact that seems to be forgotten. So shove it." He hissed inches from Severus's face.

Severus saw red. He grabbed his arm and dragged him from the courtyard. Alot of the other students cried out as he manhandled him through the door. He dragged him to one of the alcoves behind a tapestry that he was pretty sure nobody new about.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Severus hissed at him. He yanked his arm away from him.

" I'm angry ok. I'm a human being , we can't all walk around sneering and pretending we don't have feelings." He whisper yelled. He was taken aback by that.

"I don't pretend I don't have feelings" This was met by a loud snort. " What are you angry about?." He asked sneering.

"You pull me up in the great hall in front of everyone and tell me to get rid of these like they don't mean anything." He said pulling aside his shirt to reveal the ones splattered across his chest. Severus rolled his eyes and then undid the top buttons of his own shirt and yanked it to show his collar bone.

"There, happy?. But walking around with them on display brings questions and that would be dangerous for both of us." He said acidly whilst doing the buttins back up.

"So I'm not just a fuck?"

"I didn't say that either. " Harry rolled his eyes at him.

"We will do this again.?."

"Fuck yes. You're an exceedingly good shag." Harry smirked at this.

"So are you."

" My room tonight we need a proper talk." Harry nodded.

"Play along." Severus said and then pulled out of the tapestry. "Now if you ever, ever speak to me like that again you will not only get a tongue lashing and a detention but you will go up to the head mistress. " Harry looked suitably cowed as he walked out into the hall.

"I'm sorry, sir. " His head bowed low.

" I should think so." he sneered down at him. " I expect those lines in my office before the day is through and before curfew mind. Brat."

"Yes, sir." Harry's voice truly sounded quite dejected. He looked him over. Made sure he was actually fine, as he stared down his nose at him and then stalked through the hall. Students darting out of his way and then hearing the crash of voices surounding Harry. Just before he went around the corner he heard miss Grangers voice ring out..

"Harry why are your top buttons undone on your shirt?. " He inwardly moaned. Yes he was going to have to talk to the brat.

He paced in his office and kept checking the time. 20 minutes to curfew and the little shit still hadn't shown up. He stilled himself. Maybe he won't. Maybe he will just not come. If he dared he would have him out of his class up to the headmisstres's and out as soon as physically possible. He continued pacing.

The knock sounded shortly after and he marched up to the door and yanked it open. Miss Granger stood next to Harry who was holding a large roll of parchment.

"Miss Granger you're not needed. " He looked down at her.

"Harry did your lines. Why does he have to have detention as well?" She jutted her jaw at him. For fuck sake teenagers. Why did he have to deal wiith a castle exploding with teenagers

"Because he was rude. Displayed threatening behaviour and complete disrespect of the rules." He opened the door wider and Harry shuffled in. She didn't have much to say to that.

"Harry, I will wait here."

"No, you won't. It's a two hour detenrion, and Potter will be out past curfew. I will take him back to the common room. You have no good reason to be out and will receive a detention if you aren't back in your common room in 10 minutes. " He slammed the door in her face.

Harry proffered the scroll to him and he took it. Unfurling the parchemnt and seeing line after line of the same sentence. He looked through the panes of glass in his door and sneered at Hermiones back. He wondered idly whether she was off to fuck the weasel. Then he refocused on the page.

Disrespecting a teacher and the rules will lead to dire consequences.

He looked up at him.

"What is this?."

"Your lines. You told everyone I had to hand in lines. So here are your lines. You didn't tell me what to write. I could hardly write...

You're a fucking idiot and the next time I see you I will either murder you or shag you rotten."

So i wrote that. Hermione already suspects something. "

He looked to the door and saw that the hallway was free and clear through the panes of glass. He shut the blinds with a flick of his wand and warded the doors. Before walking around to his desk and sitting. Seething at the words that just came out of his mouth.

"I wouldn't murder you " He finally said, pinpointing one thing out of all the things that pissed him off. He had been stupid to anounce lines in front of everyone. Harry had been stupid to leave with out buttoning up his shirt. They had been stupid for shagging around an old transfiguration classroom.

"You would murder most people." And he snorted at the reply.

"True" he said and then stood and beckoned for him to follow him up to his quarters. He waved vaguely at the sofa. "We need to talk."

"Oh no, you're breaking up with me." Harry clung to his chest, but his words dripped with sarcasm. Severus rolled his eyes.

"If you want you can go and find another cock to ride. You didn't have a problem before."

'Why would I do that when your cock is big and fine and it's mine." He drawled at him. Severus studied him for a moment. His brain stuttering at his words. This man was cock sure and sarcastic. Angry and wild. For the first time he really saw him.

"Yours?"

"Yes severus, it's mine and it's going to fuck me every which way it can until it shrivels up and dies." He said leaning forward. Licking his lips.

"There would need to be rules." Severus said licking his own lips. That kind of possession doing something to him he had never experienced the like of before.

"Fine as long as I get it and I stay getting it."

"No one can know. You come when I call you. You do as I say. If you don't want something you say it. If you don't agree. Say it. If you get bored, say it and no one not even the little shits that are your friends can know."

Harry blinked at him rapidly.

"Can I have that in writing.?" Severus gave him a hard stare before moving to his little desk.

"Anything to add?." He asked as he pulled parchment out of his drawer. The answer suprised him. It showed Harry had some kind of knowledge that was unexpected and he wouldn't need to introduce at least.

"I won't three way. I won't be confined in small spaces. I won't be wiped or hit by anything but yoyr hand. I won't get bored. You will come when I want you to as well. Infact all the same rules apply on you're list too "

He nodded at his words and then flicked his wand over the parchment in intricate little patterns. It was all pretty reasonable. Ideas started swirling through his mind. The ink flowed from the pot and spilled down on the page. Harry moved over and looked over his shoulder and watched as words formed across the page.

"Impressive" He said when it was done in a bored tone. He chose to ignore it.

"This can be added to. Anything that doesn't work for us will be added. Just point your wand at it and say end." He demostrated with his wand and the ink disapeared. "Or do the same and say begin ."

He folded the parchment and then folded his own and tucked his into his draw. Standing, he passed the paper to Harry, who tucked it into the inner pocket of his robe and looked up at him. Waiting. Eyes half lidded.

"If I find you shagging a hufflepuff it's done." Harry stepped closer to him.

"If I find you shagging anyone your dead."

Severus smirked at him. Strangely liking the implication of exclusivity of it, add that too possession and it was rare for him truthfully to even consider it. A problem for another day. He doubted his resolve would stay long or his want would be forever, he could almsot snort, ha, forever. He moved circling him, eyes darting over him. Taking in his little unexpected surprise. He stood before him and unbuttoned his robe before pulling it off his shoulders. He walked over to the door and hung it up and took his own off.

"So for detention. " He said and Harry turned to him an angry look on his face. "I think we will take it to the bedroom. " He smirked at the look of satisfaction on his face.

"If you ever talk to me like that in public again i won't let you come for a month." Harry crossed the room and pulled severus by the shoulders crashing there lips together. Severus staggered forward into the kiss by the sheer force and Harry held onto him hard not letting him move. Severus bit his lower lip and ran his teeth over the soft flesh. He wanted to make him bleed so badly but the bruises would be hard to explain there. Harry groaned into his mouth anyway and then Severus moved his tongue against Harry's massaging it caressing it before sucking on that lower lip again. Harry pulled away.

"i will never speak to you like that in public again." He looked down at him. His face just a moment ago, that was all angles and edges and sharp wit, had softened and curved to an almost different person. He picked him up bridle style and carried him to the bed. The sight almost impossible to resist there and then in his living room. Throwing him down. He cast a tempus charm and swore at the amount of time they had left.

"Will miss Granger wait for you in the common room.? " He said looking down at Harry. He nodded and he cursed again.

"You have the cloak?" Harry nodded again.

"I finish rounds tomorriw at 12. I will be at my door at exactly that time and that time only. If you miss it the door will be locked."

"So nothing tonight.?" Harry asked and then looked up at him with his big doe eyed self.

Severus stared at him hard before dipping down onto his knees in front of the bed and inbetween Harry's legs. Harry's eyes followed his fluid movement. He reached over and unzipped Harry's trousers. hooking out his cock.

" I didn't say that. it just needs to be quicker than I had hoped ." He splayed his hands over his hips and Harry laid down flat on the bed. Severus's head dipped and took in his full length in one sharp fluid motion. Sucking deeply around the cock in his mouth before starting to move along it's length in sure even movements. Swishing his tongue over and around it flicking it this way and that. Harry bucked his hips but they were held down by his large hands. The speed took up a pace and drawl slicked over him and down his balls. He hit Harry's dick on the back of his throat over and over again. The taste was delicious salty young and free. His tongue curled around him or ran flat along the ridge of his cock to flick over his head and slit.

Harry was reduced to a writhing mess on the bed. Much more exciting than any previous idea of what this would be like but ah, fantasies often paled to reality. Swear words peppering the air as Severuss breath bellowed into the room through his nose. The sound exploded from the man pinned down and hot salty cum shot into Severus's mouth. He closed his eyes to the taste savouring every single drop of it. Gods he loved the taste of cum. The feel of flesh under his hands. He heaved himself off the floor once he let go of the flacid penis in between his lips. Looking down at a boneless and dishevelled mess on his bed. He did that to him and he revelled in the fact. Looking down at him and seeing how utterly sated and destroyed he was. Mine. A voice in his head rang. He frowned at it and walked out of the room making a cup of tea and sitting in the living room giving him a few minutes to pull himself together.

Hary came out of the bedroom ten minutes later looking like an utter mess. Severus was fuming. He needs to be taking this seriously. Was he thick, if he walked back into the common room like that they were both screwed

"Come here." He ordered pointing sharply to a spot on the floor in front of him.

"Tuck in your shirt, do up your buttons and tie, and sort out that hair." He leant back in the chair, watching his instructions being carried out. He was watching as he put himself back together. "Good little brat." He smirked at him, and Harry blushed. ohho, he thought that is a new toy to be played with. One he had never had before.

Harry looked down at him for a moment before casting another tempus charm, and then he looked back at Severus. Who looked up at him lazily, wondering what he was going to do. The last thing he thought he was going to do was lean down, and with his hands gripping the back of the sofa, he brought hot, soft lips to his. The shock made his mouth fall slightly open, and Harry took that as his que to rub his tongue all over Severus's mouth. Harry drew his body closer, stradling his lap. Severus just sat there cup in one hand and the other cupping his arse. As the shit holding both sides of his face made stars appear, just by kissing him softly.

Harry pulled away 5 minutes before they had to leave and then stood in front of the fall length mirror adjusting himself once again. Severus laid down his cup and then went to get their cloaks. He handed Harry's to him. Still pretty blank from that kiss.

"If they ask what we did tonight, tell them you had to pickle oak root. It has to be done on a waning moon, just as it turns, and the process takes an hour of prep and an hour to do. It also has to be done at night." Harry looked up at him, grinned, and nodded. Severus on a whim lowered his head slightly and kissed his temple. He could do that now that there were rules, he counselled himself. "You're such a good little brat." And the blush crossed his face again.

"Tomorrow at 12. " Harry said looking up at him. Severus nodded. They walked out of the office and down the corridor. Harry looked around them making sure they were alone. Severus turned to give him his attention once he realised what he was doing.

"Why was there a ring in your ceiling?." severus chuckled darkly.

"That is for you to find out tomorrow little brat. " He smiled down as green eyes met his. " It will be most enjoyable." His smile broadened. They walked on bumping shoulders lightly and Harry yawned into his hand. As they aproached the 8th year common room corridor, Severus spoke again. Realising, he needed to establish a few rules for tomorrow or it wasn't going to be fun at all.

"You will sleep and you will eat three good meals tomorrow." He stared down at him as they faced each other. " You will need it. If you don't and I will know if you don't. Then we will not play." Harry's eyes softened slightly then. He nodded to what he was saying. Severus felt like he needed to clarify. " I won't have my brat passing out half way through. That will be... unacceptable." Harry lips moved into a smile and he quarked his head to one side.

" Yes sir," He answered full of submission. Severus leant down again and quickly kissed his forehead before moving on. He watched as he climbed into the portrait hole and could hear Miss Granger meet him. Gods, she was an interfering little witch.

The next morning he went to his cupboard and flung a few things onto his bed before getting dressed. Yes tonight was going to be good. Mild but good. An exploration more than anything else but wasn't that perfect, when had the last time been when he had broken someone in. He smirked. Trust was key and then other explorations can come later.

He sat in the great hall and swept his eyes across it. Noting who was where and what they were doing. His eyes landed on Harry last. He looked fresh he mused. He was slowly eating an apple and there was remnants of food on his plate. He was actually quite surprised that he would listen and do as he was told.

The first lesson of the day was with 8th year and he sneered at every student that entered. His notes were already on the board with instructions of pages they were expected to read. He walked the room. Making sure no-one was making idle chat. Harry sat and wrote down the notes and then quickly moved onto his reading. He cast his eyes over him. Noting that his attentiveness hadn't waned. Before turning away and walking down the next aisle.

When he turned a hand was in the air and he glided back over to the little shit sure he was going to make trouble.

"Sir. Could you explain this line?." Severus leant over his shoulder and looked it over.

"It's self explanitory."

"Sir, I don't quite get it." Harry met his eyes head tilted back and to the side. Their faces were only inches apart. Severus's eyes darted to his mouth as Harry's tongue wetted them making them glisten. Then a real look if confusion crossed his face. His mind ran blank for a moment but stuttered back into life to the thought of what a brat Potter truly was.

" Bats eyes need to be pickled in a solution that is 1/5 vinegar and "2/5 lemon. That would leave how many out of five." He taped his foot waiting for the answer.

"2."

"Yes well done Potter " Sarcasm rolled from his tongue. "So it would be 2/5s."

"Thanks sir, that helped alot." He stopped in the middle of glidding away and his cloak went all limp. He hated it when he was interupted mid swish.

"Your such a brat Potter." He spat and then went on with the rest of his lesson. It hadn't gone unnoticed that Harry's cheeks were pink for quite sometime after that.

Severus was thoroughly pissed off though. He had had plans of his own this lesson and for the life of him they had been blown out of his brain. It wasn't till two hours later he realised he was supoosed to be doing marking for the class after lunch.

The rest of the day dragged. It was fucking long. He didn't even get to sit and eat as he had to sit in two detentions. One in lunch and one before dinner. Fucking kids and there idiotic plans and need to blow shit up. Maybe he should just take them outside and let them blow shit up for an hour. Probably win a fucking teaching award. He snorted at his own joke.

Merlin it was cold tonight though. Who thought a castle in Scotland was a good idea. It rained all the time, you got 6 days of summer and then it snowed for four months. He was at least on his last circuit and heading back to his room. Then he remebered what he had waiting in his room. Oh yes this was going to be very enjoyable. As long as the man could manage to actually be on time. He heard the footsteps following him for the last 10 minutes of patrol. He swore under his breath. If he actually saw him while patrolling he would have to send him to Filch. He didn't though. It was like being followed around by a horny ghost. He sighed as he walked up to his door but the footsteps stopped a few metres away from the door.

What the hell was he playing at. He stood at the door open to his office, him facing the hallway. Like a stand-off to see who would move first, he checked the time it was 12.10. Well fuck that and he moved into the room to close the door. Before it hit the door frame and clicked shut it got stuck on something invisible and he sneered into the room. Change your mind then Potter. He though to himself idly when he swung the door open again and then slammed it hard so it smacked of the frame with a boom. He warded it went through his office to his rooms. Warded that entrance as well and then made his way to his quarters.

"Come out little brat." The sound of a swishing cloak. He stood right next to him and Severus looked down at him with a frown. " It's Friday. " He murmured to Harry as he moved to hang up his cloak." Will you be expected to be in bed in the morning?." A snort met his ear and he arched an eyebrow at Harry as he turned back to him.

"I'm never in bed when I'm supposed to be. Saturday I'm up and out before anyone else, supposedly. They know I won't be there. " He wondered lazily why. But didn't ask, he pointed to the bedroom and as Harry went he stripped of his outer robes and left them bunched on the floor by the sofa before joining him.

Harry was inspecting the pile on his bed a little loop of rope dangling from his fingers. Then he stared at the ring dangling from the ceiling.

" So you're little arse can hang about for a while then." He mused and Harry turned facing him wide eyed .

"Yes." He said but it was long and wide eyed.

"Good." he answered stretching the word out long before smirking down at him.

"Take your clothes off."

"What?" Harry just blinked at him.

"Take your fucking clothes off. You won't be able too in a few minutes so do it now." Harry's eyes grew wider. He sighed again. He should of known he was all talk and no type of action.

"Harry. I am not going to stick you with a red hot poker. This will be good... For both of us. " Harry nodded at his words but didn't look sure. " It's on the fucking parchment if you don't like something we will stop or just say no now and we won't and you can leave." He started taking the cufflinks from his shirt off and then laying them out on his dresser. The silence stretched.

"OK" He said and Severus turned to face him. Eyes rooving as he took of his clothes. The room was lit with torches and the light danced over his tight little body. Severus licked his lips. He pulled out his wand and caught the end of the rope and threaded it through the loop.

"Middle of the bed and kneel. " Once harry was done. The sight of him doing that. Gods it was powerful. He got onto the bed himself and lifted his arms between them holding his wrists together catching the rope and then deftly tied it around and over. Making sure every knot was secure but that it was placed just so, so it wouldn't cause issues for Harry later.

Once he was done wide eyes met his and severus smiled at him. He shifted over and away and caught the other end if the rope and pulled on it. So that Harry's arms were lifted above him. He secured it to the large wooden rail running from one of the 4 posters to the other and securing it. He got of the bed and inspected his work.

Harry's chest was heaving, his arms stretched up above him. He had to hover in the air slightly so he could reach where his arms were settled. He couldn't sit back on his legs at all. The fire light danced and the shadows excentuating every muscle of his body. His thigh muscles popped and were defined. Delicious. He walked from the room.

"Where are you going?!."

"Food, this is going to last a very long time." He answered and grabbed the nearest thing he could find in the kitchen that was vaguely edible.

He walked back in the room and watched him. The lighting wasn't right really so he extinguished the torches and then lit candles around the place. Not to many just enough to catch the light just so on his skin. The room was chilly so he set a fire in the grate and lit it up. Adding to the dancing ducking quality of light on his skin. He watched Harry slowly relax with everything he did. Once he was done he stood in front of Harry and took of his clothes neatly folding everything and placing it in the dresser before turning to him. Harry's eyes drifted to his crotch and stayed there. As his erection bounced and swayed. Climbing in the bed he faced Harry and his eyes shot up to him. Their bodies didn't touch

"This is going to be fun." He told him and leant down and kissed his mouth softly. Pulling away their eyes met again before Severus moved back sitting on his haunches and started exploring his body with his hands. Running a finger down his side and noticing the spot that made Harry's laugh burst from his chest.

Splaying a hand across his chest and then scratching lightly at it, then his thighs and sides, just so to make his skin a little sensitive. gaging his pain tolernece to it and acceptance of the fact. Harry was ridged and to attention. half lidded and sesrching his face..

A feather flew to his hand, and he tickled it all over him. Certain spots making Harry writhe in his bonds. He smiled viciously at that, noting exactly where they were..

He ran silk along his body, watching as the cold material puckered goosebumps on his skin and brought a different type of moan, a different kind of wiggle from him, all telling him exactly what he liked.

Then his hands again touched and teasing all the best spots noting the difference now they had been played with. Then he reached round and fondled his arse as he knelt before him. Then explored his back and bunched shoulders just with his fingertips.

Harry's head lulled back at most of his adminstration only shooting back up again when he prodded a certain spot.

He was just the perfect toy. the perfect instrument to play out those moans, the fact he couldn't get away that he was captured and his to do with as he willed, even if it wasn't extreme thrilled every part of his body and mind in this soft exploration. Probably the softest he had ever played out in years and years. Probably the most captured he had ever been by it. Now normally he would be totally bored by this point, bored by the lack of actual harsh physical play bit not this time. Not now, not with him. He was actually almost in a trance.

Eventually when he couldn't hold it back anymore, once he had played out a combination of ot all, his lips went to his skin exploring, tasting, excited by the taste of his sweat. Peppering love bites wherever he could reach. His thighs, his hip, his stomach. The sides that had all those delicious tickle spots dotted all over it, his chest. He clamped Down onto his nipples and Harry who was moaning at his touches made the most delicious deep throated moan that Severus wanted to hear again and again. He worked the nipple in his mouth pulling and sucking on it. Twisting and flicking it with tongue until the noise tumbled from him over and over. The sound running up amd down his spine

He moved back and looked at him again covered in bites. The man wouldn't moan about love bites again. Shining from the sweat, erection hard and painful, weeping, glorious. Lips parted and panting, eyes lidded staring at him. He kissed him again on the lips soft and gentle before moving around to look at the muscles on his back and his tight little peachy arse sticking out where he wasn't able to sit. He loosened the ropes slightly. Letting him have enough movement to sit if he wanted too.

He ran his hands down his back muscles. Explored but not seen. Running his nails down them and delighting in the red marks that followed in there wake. He had less patience this time though and his lips connected to his bunched up shoulder and then slid down and over every inch of his bare skin. His hands coming around to play with Harry's nipples. The back he kissed arched at his touches the sounds getting louder. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up. He leant close to Harry's ear.

"Do you want me to fuck you or leave you here to play with over and over again?." Harry shifted his head to the side trying to see him.

"Fuck, oh please gods, fuck me. "

"Hmm maybe." He replied and carried on kissing his back and playing with his nippes. A hand drifted down to his cock at some point and he stroked it closely into his palm before moving it away. Cupping his balls rolling them gently taking his time with each administration . Then back up his chest. The begging started then.

"Please, Severus, please. " Came out of his mouth, and by the fifth or sixth time, severus was unsure. Harry was almost crying. Oh gods, he loved that sound. He leant back and lowered the height, so Harry's arms were practically in front of him. He swooped on to his neck and bit down on his shoulders. Before running kisses up to his ear. Every noise crashing out of Harry appreciative even when he was brutal with it.. He pulled away and ran his hand through his hair before yanking him back.

"I'm not sure you really want it.." He got a whimper in return. The candle light made the blush all over his skin shine. He made one more slow sweep over his chest and then pushed harry forward. "Hold onto the rail infront of you." He instructed and Harry did the best he could with bound hands. At this point he was getting annoyed with them anyway so he magicked them away. Harry turned and stared at him face looking like he was unsure what was happening. Severus smacked his arse and he turned around.

He bent down and bit his arse cheeks before lathering them with his tongue and sucking on the skin feeling the muscle bunch beneath him. Hmm it was hard and soft and smooth. He ran his fingers over it. lightly tapped his hole with the head of his cock and it made the muscles dance before him. He caught the lube as it flew through the air and he prepped his cock and fingers at the same time making sure they were good and slick. The old fashioned way was fun but he didn't want to waste time. He snuck a finger into that hot little space and Harry imediately responded by slamming himself back into it. He smacked his arse hard.

"Now now. patience. " He slowly tortuturiously moved inside of him. Harry whimpered again.

Severus pushed in the second finger and he could tell by the trembling muscles in Harry's legs he was fighting hard not to do it again. He worked his fingers in and out and then scissored inside him stretching him out. When he was satisfied he pulled away. His own cock was hard, throbbing, aching at the thought of being so close. He angled Harry's arse down slightly and then met that angle leaning over Harry and placing his hands on his back after lining himself up. He held there for a minute and he felt Harry start to rock his hips slightly willing him on with his body. So he slid his dick in but held himself deep inside him.

"Please. Fuck me, please. Please." The words were quiet, begging, they made a fire burn in Severus every time he heard them. He moved then, let the sensation take over, slamming into him methodically, moving, enjoying every moment. Then it seemed to just change his hands slipped, and he was holding Harry around the chest stomach flush to his back. They rocked back and forth together Harry telling him how good he felt, how much he filled him. Severus felt like he was floating. His hands played with his nipples and his normally strong and vicious strokes had turned into smaller smoother ones to match Harry's hips countering his. The words tumbled from Harry's mouth.

His hands circled up and around his shoulders in a tight grip around the smaller man as he pushed himself to delve deeper into him but in a way he had never had sex before. It wasn't frantic and animalistic. He told Harry how good he felt. He told him how beautiful his body was. He laid his head on his shoulder as his rocked into Harry. Harry pulled away and leant further down to get better access to his prostrate and Severus missed the touch. Missed his skin..What had happened here.

His eyes grew wide but the sensations felt so good. He couldn't change it back. He felt like something had changed in him forever. He let his hand slide down Harry's chest and Abdomen and gripped hold of Harry's cock. As Harry thrust his hips back and forth he wasn't just getting fucked by Severus but also fucking Severus's hand. A flurry of curse words rang in the room and Severus leant forward so his chest would once more and be closer to Harry. In that movement he found his spot and Harry cried out and hands went white on the rail as he told Severus over and over again, to do it again. That it was there and how good it felt. He unravelled in his arms and flew his head back into Severus's shoulder and with the low ground out moan he came in Severus's hand. The fluttering of his muscles milked Severus cum so hard that his body felt like it shot out of his cock. The very essence of who he was left and then slammed back into his body remade.

Harry slumped head first into the pillow below him and Severus moved side ways and then collapsed right next to him. He stared at the ceiling. What the fuck. He moved his head to look at Harry, who had stretched himself out and facing him with his eyes closed. They slowly opened and a wide languid grin came to his lips. He moved forward and planted his lips on Severus's. He didn't pull away this time. He didn't panic. Their lips made a lazy messy kiss and Harry pulled away and closed his eyes. Severus closed his.

They slept.

He woke slowly his mind being pulled out of images of Harry. Harry sitting in his lap. Harry stroking his hair. Harry rocking and rutting on his cock. Harry's smile, Harry's hands, Harry's touch. When his eyes eventually opened the room was washed with late dawn light. He must of only slept for a few hours. A warm body laid ontop of him. Possessing him, demanding to be held. His arms were around the warmth and he looked down and his chin was tickled by messy fly away hair. The body stirred and the head moved and he was staring at the face that had been playing over and over in his head. He stretched against Severus's body like a cat and he planted kisses along his jaw, his chin and then up to his lips. He kissed back his brain stuttering.

"The break is coming." Harry told him as if Severus had no idea what the scedule of the school was.

"Yes." His voice was cracked and sore.

"I'm staying here." Severus rolled his eyes. He never went away on the holiday. He didn't know why he needed to tell him.

Harry's arms tightened around him

"Right here. " He murmured.

"In my quarters?." Harry who's head was wobbling slightly let his head slump back onto his chest.

"Oh yes." Severus's mind raced. God his body ached for that to be true. Something deep down inside him needed it to be true. He wondered at this new thought. He had hated this man. But he didn't anymore. He was furious at him. But he wasn't anymore. Just a warm feeling blossomed in his chest when he thought of it. It was impossible though. He looked at the top of his head feeling a sad combination of longing and the impossibility.

"Impossible." He said to that mass of hair.

" No I have told everyone that I am going to stay on my own for this break. Work some things out. I will just sneak back into the castle once I have left." Severus blinked at the idea. He pulled him closer into his chest.

"We will see. " And Harry hummed a response.

He watched as he walked from his office in the early hours. He had inspected him before he would let him leave making sure that he would not cause suspicion by his apearance. Of course the fact he was in his uniform at this time in the morning on a Saturday would be suspicious enough. He noted he would have to have some of his clothes in his quarters he decided.

He sat and thought of the morning. The feeling of his naked body around his. Making him drink. Holding the cup to his lips. Feeding and replenishing his body. Washing him over with a cloth. Giving him the after care he should of administered before they fell asleep. Yet doing those things in the light of day had felt even more forbidden and the pool of wanting grew within him. It was quite a shame he had to leave.

He didn't see him again until the afternoon he was completing his early round making sure the little twats he shared the castle with weren't dying around him or shagging each other on their day off, all round the castle. He walked down a corridor that ran next to a very unused court yard and noticed the three sitting on a stone bench. He hated this part of his route as there were no windows that shielded the hall from the cold air of outside. But today he was thankful as he tucked himself away and out of sight.

"Harry, I know you with someone you're still in your uniform. Is it that hufflepuff ?" A snort hit the air.

"No, it's a Slytherin, actually." Gasps rang out in the air. "What I have fucked my way through hufflepuff and ravenclaw. Why not a Slytherin. " And a dark laughter hit the air.

"You're a right whore at the moment. What's gotten into you?." Ron's voice sounded bitter and angry.

"Cock, lots of glorious cock, and why shouldn't I? It's not like I have had much fun in my life so far."

"Harry." Hermiones voice sounded shocked. " We are worried about you."

"Don't I like this one . I'm going to keep him around." Severus's cheeks burned. When was the last time that had happened. When had anyome made his face heat at all.

"Not going to be screwing around behind this ones back then because I swear if I have to haul another crying bloke away and listen to them moaning." Ron interjected

"Oh no, that won't be happening if anything if I did I think you would find my floating body in the lake " Harry's laugh boomed around the room.

"Malfoy?" Hermione gasped, sounding accusing. The laughter took on a new note.

"Something like that." He said after he wheazed for a moment.

"Just be careful, mate. I don't know where all this anger is coming from. "

"You don't, Ron, really. Let's see, grown wizards gave me the responsibility of getting rid of a dark wizard because their lazy fucks. I was tortured, abused, and told I was great, then pulled down." His voice trailed off. "I fucking died. " He whispered." That isn't even all of it." He muttered.

Truly the boy was fucked up. Severus realised.,as he started striding down the corridor once again. The sound of their voices carried on and he pushed the words away.

That week the words swam around Severus's head. Yes, albus was lazy. Dangerous even. He said, tortured, he wondered about that and flipped it over in his head. He had died. He wondered what that had been like. He also wondered what the dark muttering about more had meant. He didn't seek Harry out, and Harry didn't seek him out. They sneered at each other and the word brat and sir were flung across the hallways and in class rooms. So frequently he had resolved that all between them had been a trick of the night. Thoughts swam in his head but he wouldn't prod the feelings that had twisted into a ball in his chest. His anger built slowly as the days went on and even the faint glimpses that flicked through his head, grew distant and sparked rage within him every time it happened.

He found himself early on a Friday night looking through his desk for a piece of parchment. His hand brushed across it, and he flicked his wand to stare at their haphazard contract. Why he had no idea. He blinked down at it. In messy slanted and angular scrawl the word sir, was plastered above his words and in the same hand the word brat was plastered above Harry's. One line was added to Harry's little list.

Don't ignore me.

So he wrote the same line under his after stretching the parchment slightly with his magic to make space. He sat back in his chair. Flicked the parchment back into its draw and shoved it shut. Noving around his little space, he sat eventually and ate. Eyes wondering over to his desk.

He should be grateful he had a Friday night off. He should be doing something with it but unlike previous friday nights off he had no idea who. The thought made him feel off anyway. He went down to his office and shifted through some paper work. Early night, he thought to himself, and that's when a small tapping came into his room. He checked the window behind him but there was no owl. So he rose and made his way to his living space before he reached the door to go up. However, another little tapping sound came to his ears. He looked at the door and noticed a slight movement through the glass before it disappeared. He opened his door a crack, and the smell of cucumber and autumn leaves hit his senses. He flung the door wide and stepped back before shoving his head and scowling round the hall. If anyone saw all they would see was Snape, being Snape, being Snape. He sneered at the hall In general and then made his way up to his quarters again.

His door was already slightly open when he got to it and he shot wards at his office door and then warded and silenced his quarters door before going upstairs. He couldn't see harry when he stepped into his living room though.

"Silent treatment.? " He muttered into the room and no responce was heard. He rolled his eyes. " I'm pretty pissed at you actually." And a grunt sounded from the other side of the room. " Fine, let's act like children." and to emphasise this, he huffed over to the sofa and threw himself on it.

He sat like that for a while and then he pulled a book toward himself and started to read. The silence was whole and it crashed and hummed in Severus's ear. No movement, no sound of breathing even and if he hadn't of known better he would of thought that no one was there.

" God sometimes I hate you." The voice rang in the room. When the silence was almost deafening. Severus just nodded to the words, the feeling was quite mutual.

"Was it nothing?. " His head snapped up.

"I could ask you the same. " Silence met his ears, and he sighed.

"Do you care at all?." The hot breath hit his face as the words hissed at him.

"I care more than I did." He replied calmly. The words twisting in his gut. He looed back down at his book.

"I heard you talking on Saturday." He spoke eventually into the room. A rustle of his cloak shifting.

"And." The voice seethed.

"I would like to talk to you about it at some point." No reply he sighed. " Why did you come here Potter?. I'm going to bed, fuck this." and he stood and walked from the room. He took his clothes off yanking them from his body. Rage seeped threw his veins, he left the black material crumpled on the floor and climbed under his covers. Staring at the ceiling. What was the point of this? Why did he even come here? Why did he let him? Then his mind turned on him, calling him weak and useless. The voice that liked to tear him to shreds called him ugly and stupid, to expect anything beautiful in his life, he shut his eyes . Indulged in it for a while. Letting the self loathing take him, it was easier than hating the man that was in the other room.

The door creaked open and he saw Harry's head float into the room. He pulled the cloak fully away and revealed that he was holding a bundle in his arms. He shot an eyebrow up his forehead.

"Clothes for tomorrow."

"Presumptious."

"You locked me in."

"You tried to leave." Severus hissed at him. Harry's face turned pink.

"Before we spoke." He shrugged a shoulder at him and then started to undress. He could fling him across the room but he sat and stared at the nervous bundle of flesh shedding his clothes in front of him.

"The break starts on wedesday." Harry finally spoke.

"You can do whatever you fucking want." The words shot across the room. Harry walked over to the bed and pulled the sheets back. Severus's hand shot out and grasped his neck, fingers digging into the side of it.

"I am so angry with you." He spat.

The green eyes met his and his lips parted breathing coming in short little gasps. He let go and turned away. Laying with his back to him.

"I know." The words finally met his ears, and he felt the body slot into his back and skin, making contact. " I know." It came again and a hand swept through his hair. "If it helps, I am pretty angry too." and a dry laugh came from the chest behind him. He turned around and stared at him.

"You're still here. " He sneered at him. Weak little brat.

"Because." A great sigh left Harry's lips and hit him in the face. " Even though I'm angry, I want to work through it. Do you?. You stubborn bastard " His lips tweaked up into a lopsided grin.

"I'm here arent I? ." Severus's voice was surly.

"That you are. " and their lips met briefly, Severus pulled away. " Why didn't you see me?."

"I wasn't sure it would be welcome." and a short bark of laughter and Harry's head flung back from his in unbelieving.

"Insecure severus?." He said once their eyes met. He shifted uncomfortably at the words.

"Whatever the fuck happened on friday was not the fucking plan." and Harry's own eyebrow crept up his face.

" What getting thoroughly shagged? "

"Tou know what i mean."

"Ah, feelings." Harry nodded his face, taking on a wise look. "Well, nothing can be done about that now." Soft lips touched his again, and he allowed himself to sink into that feeling.

The night was spent with quiet murmurings of nothings and soft kisses, arms wrapped around each other. They fell asleep in each others arms, and they both slept peacefully and for a long time. When he woke, Severus laid in a daze for just a short time. Wondering once again what the hell was happening here before casting a tempus charm. Paniced about how late it was and what the hell that meant, and whether a sesrch party had already been set up, he shoved Harry roughly of the bed.

"Go everyone is going to wonder where you are."

"I left last night to spend the weekend alone. no one will be looking for me" Severus bkinked at him as he climbed into his bed again rubbing his rear a red mark springing up on his skin at the elbow.

"There are still things I need to do." He hissed at him." I have a job.

"Like you have ever given a shit before, but im not thick, I know." He rolled his eyes before laying himself over his chest once again.

That's how he found himself being followed after breakfast by footsteps in the hall. He did his rounds and only had to give one couple a detention for fingering in the hallway. As they left, Harry snickered next to him.

"You may find it amusing, but it's all the bloody time. " More snickering met his ears.

They then went to his personal lab. No students entered here, so when he came in, he gave the air a lecture about not touching anything. Not the equipment, not the notes , he was to sit, and he was to be still. All he heard back was yes sir. In that submissive tone. He didn't trust it. There was mischief in the air, and Harry refused to come out from under his cloak, pointing out that anyone could see him through the pains in the door. He nodded along but knew no one would come, they never did.

It was half an hour before the first light touches started. A hand across his arse. A quick thumble of his crotch. Reaching up to get something and feel a hand slide over the bare skin of his stomach.

" Gods your sexy when you work." Came Harry's voice.

"You're being rather distracting. "

" I'm not touching anything that I shouldn't." The voice pointed out.

"For fuck sake, fine don't touch me either."

"To late for that now," Harry laughed, and he felt hands run through his hair, flicking the ends. He spun around he wasn't putting up with this and tried to grope around in the air. A tight squezze of his arse and then he turned again.

"Stop it or get out." The room fell still, and he sneered around it before going back to work.

He was leaning over a station writing down his calculation results and side effects that the mouse was displaying when he heard a zip go. He ignored it until a hand hooked itself into his pants.

"Potter " He yelled into the room to the sound of a chuckle and a hand sliding over his dick.

"Stop me, you know where I am." Then a warm sensation engulfed him, and his breath rushed into his lungs. His cock was licked and sucked. It was brought deep, and it was brought shallow. He braced himself on the table knuckles white, breathing hard and moans escaping as Harry milked his cock with his mouth. He came easily, too quickly, really. Harry had pulled him deep into his throat and swallowed around him, by the third he just couldn't stop and roared into the room.

"Delicious" Harry said appreciative into the room and he heard the sound of rustling as he got up. He caught him by the wrist.

"I think it's time we headed back to my quarters." He said it so quietly, so dangerously that he heard the adauble gulp from the other man and gave the room a wicked smile.

As they entered his living room, Harry swept off his cloak and hung it by the door next to severus, who, after unbuttoning his own, hung his on top. He pointed Harry into the middle of the room. Green eyes looked at him and were around. He was obviously nervous. He should be. He had had plans for this afternoon, and now they were all sucked down his throat.

"Kneel." Severus commanded. Harry's body crumpled, and he sat back on his haunches. Severus walked around him. Sdjusted his shoulders. Straightened his back, pushed his head down so he could only see the floor. "Stay," He ground out. He walked away. He ran his fingers over the books on his shelf and pulled several out, placing them on his desk. Going into the kitchen, he looked around for food. Placed that on a tray.

Walking back into the living room he let his eyes wonder to Harry. Not moving a muscle, head bowed. The brat could follow instruction, he seemed to do so perfectly. The thought excited him. The sight excited him. He walked in and placed the food on the low table next to Harry. Ruffling his hair as he walked past him to the bedroom. Changing and then lighting a fire in their and the living room before turning back to Harry.

"I had plans for this afternoon." He sighed out and no answer came back. " It will have to wait for this evening now." He strode over to Harry and fondled his head for a moment." I'm very upset about it." Green eyes darted up to him.

" I'm sorry sir." He just nodded at the words

.

"Well, get up. Come and get some food." Harry sighed as he got up from his position. Normally, Severus mused, this little game would of ended in a spanking at least. He watched as Harry tucked into the food. He couldn't be angry at the amazing blow job that he had, though. God Harry could fuck someone ridged with his mouth. He looked at him again, sitting tentatively in a high backed chair, eating methodically head cast down to look only at his food. He waited till he was done. Reading quietly until harry had compmetely stilled.

"Come here." He told him, and he pointed to a spot between his legs. Harry rose and did as he was told. He pulled him down on top of him, Harry straddling on his lap. Eyes meeting each other at the same level.

"God your mouth is sinful. " He chuckled at Harry as a slow smile spread on his face. "We will have to think of something else to do this afternoon though." Harry peppered his face with light little kisses before meeting his lips. He softly ground into Severus's groin erection quite evident. Severus pulled him away. " I'm not sure if I'm going to let you cum for the rest of the weekend, so I wouldn't get to excited.."

"Yes, sir." Harry said and removed himself from his lap, then cast his eyes around the room.

"Books are on the table and I know you have homework. Go and do that for the afternoon."

"Are you fucking kidding me?." Burst out of Harry's mouth.

"No you twat. Go and sit down and do some work. " He pointed at the desk.

"For fuck sake." Harry muttered into the air. Ah there was Harry. Severus thought quite amused. He wasn't sure he liked it when he was compliant for to long. He liked it when it happened but that had lasted longer than usual.

"Well, maybe you should have been patient. " he called to his back. He watched as it stiffened, then he sat at the desk, and dark mutterings were heard coming from the table.

"I need to get my bag." Severus pulled it out from where it was sitting next to the sofa and sneered at him.

"Gods damn it." Harry said, annoyed. Severus flung it in his direction.

"Work Harry." The muttering calmed down as severus ate and then the quiet room filled with scratching quils and the odd sigh, so he read.

He looked up from his books regularly and watched him puzzle over a few things. Stare blankly at the wall in front of him. Sigh deeply and scratch his head. As the time ticked on he thought that maybe he had had enough. He went into the kitchen and made a pot of tea and sat back down.

" Brat. bring your homework here." Harry's head lifted and he shuffled some paper around and then brought it over. Slumping on the sofa and then sitting up to pour himself some while Severus skimmed the pages.

"Hmm. I'm not sure you understand what exactly is on the line here." He said, arching an eyebrow at Harry. Harry looked at him.

" What is that then?." Harry said, looking at him sullenly.

" Well you could get thoroughly shagged or you could get something else. the question is. Is this shag worthy. " and he tapped his finger on his lips. Harry just glared at him and sipped his tea.

" Oh, don't pout it doesn't suit you." He said, ruffling his hair and pushing it away slightly. " Food, I think."

" How the hell do you eat so much and stay thin?. " He gave Harry a wolfish grin before he went into the kitchen.

He came back out again an hour later after cooking some suspect chicken from the back of his freezer, some pasta, and sauce. he threw the chicken away in the end, not wanting to risk it. He found Harry correcting his homework in the corner.

" Ah, excellent. Why don't we sit and eat?. " Harry came over again, and they sat in quiet eating. Severus flicked his eyes over Harry as he slouched back in his chair. He floated the plates away before he pulled Harry back over to his lap. Steadying him again, Harry looked into his face. Waiting, watching.

" So tonight, I was thinking too, let you decide. " Harry cooked his head to one side.

" Really?" Severus hummed back his response, rubbing his hips in circles with the palm of his hand.

"Go look in the cupboard. " He watched Harry Wonder into his bedroom. Ooohhhh he heard after the cupboard door squeked open and then a buzzing noise and a bit of a yelp. He wondered in with a blind fold.

" Really? is it better than the cloak?." Severus cast his mind back.

" No I think the cloak is definitely an experience. Both are good though." He flung it on the bookshelf.

He heard a light smacking sound and wondered over to the door. Harry was lightly tapping his arm with a paddle and looked up at Severus hopefully.

" Absolutely not, it's against what we agreed and I know something of your past now. Not going to happen."

" Oh sir." and his eyes were big.

" No, you little monster, I'm not doing that. "

" Ah, we will need that, though. " He said, picking up a little rubber ring. Harry looked at it, curious. Severus left the room. Picked up the blind fold and laid it with the cock ring. He dug about and found some lube on his desk. Crinkling it out of its plastic before putting it with the rest. Harry wondered in with a butt plug.

" Interesting choice. Do you know what that is." Harry blushed. " You will need a smaller size. The one with the purple gem." He shouted at his back. Interesting combination. Hmm. His mind started racing. Planning, mapping it all out in his head once Harry had come back, he turned to him with a wicked smile. " Bedroom or in here.?" He asked. Harry nodded over to the bedroom.

They went into the room, and he and Severus started getting undressed. Severus would run his eyes over him. Noticng all his little bunched up muscles as he moved. Harry, he noticed sent him little apreciative looks and he liked that he looked at him like that.

"Tied down or free." He asked and Harry thought about it.

"Tied down, I think." Severus slitted his eyes at him. His voice sounded off. Maybe it was just nerves. But he watched him closely.

He arranged him at the head of the bed and fastened each hand to one of the thick posters that went up into the canopy. He knelt in front of him and noted that his eyes were wide, but his body was relaxed. Almost completely trusting. He crossed the room and felt eyes follow his arse as he brought the little pile of things in from the front room. He put them on the bed and then played with the blind fold in his hands.

"Now I'm going to put this on you, and you're not going to see a thing. Just feel, Harry, everything." He leant over him and placed the blind fold over his eyes. He stood back and admired the look of him for a moment. Lips parted breath coming quickly. Skin shining in the light of the torches. He added a log to the fire in the room and then crawled up the bed to him.

Picking up one of his feet, he started to suck on each toe. He noted Harry's chest moving fast. Hmm, he likes his feet being touched. He started rubbing the other foot in his lap whilst working on the one in his mouth. Before moving up his ankle and allowing his lips and tongue to explore up his leg.

"Severus, stop, please stop." Severuss head snapoed up to him. Wetness was running down his face. His breathing fast. He waved a hand at the bonds and pulled the blindfold off his face. Harry's breath was coming fast. Eyes wet and pink. He looked at severus like he was about to get told off.

He swooped down on him and bundled him in his lap. Legs splayed either side of his body and pulled his head into his shoulder. Stroking his hair.

"Don't be mad. " Severus's hands stopped stroking him and he lifted him into the air and carried him into the living room. Flicking his wand to put another log on the fire as he went. He sat down on the sofa and pulled Harry's head up so he could look at him. Eyes searching around his face.

"Thats what the parchment is for. You say stop, it stops. It's that simple, but are you ok? What happened?." Harry's body relaxed into his and he laid his head down on his shoulder.

"It was dark and I couldn't move and, and." Severus stroked his hair again.

"It's ok. It's ok, we will never do that again. Did it bring back something bad." Harry nodded into his shoulder.

"ok, well, it's fine we know now. " He said soothingly. Running a hand down his back as another was playing with his hair. He looked up at the ceiling. He should of realised. A voice ringing in his head. He should of known. The hesitancy of their first night. " We don't ever have to play those types of games again." Harry's head shot up.

"No, I don't want to stop. I just dont think I can do it without seeing." Severus gave him a doubtful look.

"We will seee " He murmured.

They laid on the sofa for a long while Severus just stroked his body and trying to keep Harry calm. It he was honest with himself, he needed it too. His heart had nearly flown out of his chest at Harry's words. Deverus didn't know when it started really, but Harry's lips at some point connected with Severus's shoulder, and he found himself groaning at the feel of his mouth moving over it and his neck. He pulled himself together slightly and pulled Harry away and off his chest.

"You don't have to do that." He told him with a deep frown.

"I want too and its my night... could we just... could we just do it normally." Harry asked voice small.

"Of course, Harry, if that's what you want, but don't do it for me. is it what you want." He asked, his brow still deeply furrowed and eyes boring into the man. He just nodded sharply and then moved to his neck again. Pushing his hands through Severus's hair.

Severus's hands stopped their light, brushing of finger tips for comfort and splayed his hand over his back, pulling him even closer to his body. Stars danced in his eyes as the lips and tongue worked on him. Moving acroos his chest and over to the other side. He lulled his head back, drowning in the feel of it. Harry pulled back too and swept his hands over Severus's chest. His hand lingered around his nipples and then he started brushing them with his thumbs. Circling them and brushing over them. Severus watched him play and moaned at the touchs, and Harry watched his nipples. Eyes darting up when he moaned. His hands explored him down his sides, and rubbed down his thighs. As Severus held onto his hips. Harry was facinated by his body and, in turn, this facinated Severus. Nobody had ever really paid him that much attention before. No one had been willingly giving permission before to do so or be in control.

Harry slipped off his lap and kissed down his thigh, lifting his knee onto his shoulder so he could reach the sensitive skin of his inner thigh. Severus's eyes grew wide at the feeling. His prick grew hard at it all. Harry looked at it for a moment and then smiled up at Severus wickedly before carrying on. His lips travelling to the other leg. He kissed and sucked his way up that thigh and nuzzled his face into his bollocks before slowly sucking one of them in his mouth and running his tongue over it, shit it was good. So good. Severus realised if he put his cock in his mouth he would probably just explode in it at this point. He did the same to the other and he hissed into the air arching into it, trying to grt more into his mouth.

Harry kissed around his pubic area but avoided his cock completely. Kissing the crease between thigh and pubic hair. Biting lightly on the mound of flesh around the base of his cock. Before sliding up and kissing and sucking on his stomach. The pressure of his chest rubbing on his cock as he moved around in different angle and moved up to reach more. Severus was in a trance. His body transfixed by the sensations it was feeling. His eyes fixed on Harry's every movement. Little moans and gasps escaping his lips. His hands useless. Just splayed on his back when he could reach it. Like they had forgotten how to move.

Harry stood and stradled him, his pubic area connecting with Severus's, and he looked at him, arms planted on his chest, holding him to fair away to kiss. He sat up slightly and pulled an arm away from himself and, with perfect eye contact, started sucking on Severus's fingers. The movement was sinful, the feeling of his tongue wrapping around each index finger, the slight sucking feeling this alone made Severus moan. Harry's eyes caught fire, and it danced in the light of the fire in the grate. His hand shot out and caught a bottle of lube that flew from the kitchen, and Severus watched as he applied it to his own fingers before placing it on his arse.

Then he kissed him, and it was like the world had suddenly started from the stuttering in his mind. His hands moved, his mouth moved. He took his lubed fingers and plunged them into Harry. He pulled away and gasped at the feeling before connecting their lips again. Passion sprung between them and Harry rocked into his hand bringing friction to their cocks before sinking into his shoulder once again moaning and spluttering. Severus connected his lips to any skin he could reach, running his free hand all over Harry's back. Lightly scratching it and then deepening the scratches. Harry hissed and moaned into him louder almost shivering at the pleasure of it. Before lifting his arse and letting Severus's cock free.

He sat up slightly and hovered there. Severus let his hand drop from his arse hole and Harry reached around and guided his cock to touch his hole. He hovered there for a moment and Severus for the first tjme probably in his whole life connected eyes with Harry's and pleaded silently with them. He felt the slip and slide of entering him as his back arched away from him at the feel of being so full. He sat up, hands reating in his chest, and he moved. Guiding Severus's cock in and out of his body and adjusting and rolling his hips. Dipping his whole body up and down and all that Severus could do was hold on to those hips and curse and moan loudly into the air. Slumping even more back into the sofa and let it all just take him over.

He rutted up into Harry eventually and then slowed his movements to match his once their eyes connected, and Harry gave him an annoyed look. This was his fun, after all. He watched the blush creep along Harry's chest and neck. Watched as his eyes lulled back into the top of his head. Watched the bounce and sway of his wild hair. Felt the hands play with his nipples and then watched as Harry's hand came to his own cock and started pulling on it. Each vision made him more vocal. Each one made the coil snap in him, feel tight and flare. His nails bit into Harry's skin again around his hips. As a deep pool gathered within him. It was vaster and deeper than any sensation he had had before. He.watched as Harry turned into the image of their first time together with the cloak.

Words flew between them, some making sense, some just gutural curse words and moaned out names. Harry's eyes flew wide and he caught Severus's eyes briefly before he pushed his head back and cried his name into the room. Severus pumped into him hard and almost silently as his own hot cum spilled into the man he had inpailed. The man that was clenching around his cock so hard it milked the orgasm from him that could of been staved of if not for that vast sensation. His hands shock and his body felt weak and the only thing that felt real in that moment was the warm body that had crashed on his chest and laid there as if all the bones in his body had suddenly disappeared.

The high crashed and burned through his body. His skin hummed and danced in every spot. He slowly gathered together the peices of himself that had scattered to the fair reaches of his mind. Slowly put them back together. He summoned some water with his mind and propped Harry up, and he drank the water guided by severus's hand. He huffed and blew hard. His body aching in a buzz of tiredness and carried Harry back into the bedroom. Swiping the objects of the bed and onto the floor before placing Harry under the covers and shifting and moving him so he was half laying on his chest. Tucked into him. Legs entangled together and breathing steady and relaxed.

They spent Sunday completely naked reveling in each others bodies, as they moved around the small space of the living quarters. The only thing they did that day was send an owl to Hermione explaining that Harry was going to arrive early Monday morning rather than night. In Harry's own hand. They sat and they read, tucked up together in the sofa. Toys were scooped from the floor and unceremoniously shoved into the cupboard. Homework quite forgotten on the desk. Food was nibbled throughout the day and often would be pressed to lips by the other man's hand. It was quiet and it was tranquil and by mid afternoon Harry sighed and announced he would make dinner and the sound of pots and pans being moved around the kitchen could be heard. It was bliss as far as Severus was concerned, something he had never expected to experience, but now he had it would never let it go.

His wards flared in familiar colours and Severus could curse himself for allowing his wards to stay the same. He rushed into the kitchen.

"Someone is about to arrive. whatever happens, whatever is said, do not turn around and do not come in here. Keep your back to the kitchen door." He ran a hand dowb Harry's scratched back, and over the half moon cuts into his hip. " I will deal with this swiftly. I'm sorry." The living room door creaked open. Severus came back into the room a sneer on his face.

"Stepan, what are you doing here?. " The man that entered was the same age as Severus, smaller build but taller, believe it or not with brown hair. He fell to his knees in supplication at the sight of him casting his eyes down.

"It's the 4th sunday of the month." He said quietly. " I have missed you. You sent me away last month with no.explanation. "

" I did not request you here."

"I'm sorry, sir. I won't do it again. now I am here can we play." He looked over at Harry then and noted his back stiffened. Stepan knelt before him not even aware.

"We will never play again." Severus hissed at him. His eyes flew to Severus's a look of horror on his face.

"Sir, I promise I will do better. I promise I will do whatever you want."

"It is my fault." Severus sighed. " I should of let you know of the changes. I have been distracted." His eyes wondered back to Harry's back. Stepan followed his eyes movement and then he stiffened and turned accusing eyes on Severus. Then roamed his body with his gaze, looking at all the little marks he had recieved the night before. Then back to Harry's scratched back.

"I see can we play together. " He asked looking sly.

"Absolutely not." Severus boomed. Both Harry and Stepan jumped at the volume. Stepan cast his eyes to the floor once again.

" What have I done wrong, sir?"

" You have done nothing I have just found something unexpected, and I won't be letting it go.." He noted Harry half turning toward him before correcting himself. He sighed. " Stepan, you need to leave and not come back here. " He said simply. Stepan pulled himself from the floor. It looked like it took some effort and, with a bowed head, left the room. He noted exactly when he walked through the wards of his front door and office. Grabbing his dressing gown, he went and reset his wards, making the changes necessary and walking slowly back up. He sat and watched Harry's back. Unsure of what would greet him if he approached him before he was ready.

"You need to get some proper food in before wednesday." Harry announced voice clipped. " I won't fucking eat half rotten food for three weeks. " Severus blinked at his words and then sat back on the sofa studying his back.

"You're not upset.?" iI slipped out of his mouth and his eyes grew wide. Why would he say that?

"I shagged half the castle and it was alot more than once a month. " Harry said after a booming laugh. " I don't exoect you to be a virgin." hH sneered out the last word.

"I need to contact gideon." Harry turned at his words, and although his previous ones had been smooth. His face was all angles, and his eyes were slits.

"Yes, I would. if it happens again I will fuck their shit up before I fuck yours up. sir." Sevrus surveyed the angry jut of his jaw and nodded

"consider it done."

"Do it now." He hissed at him and he was glared at as he walked over to the desk before turning and continuing to cook. Silence fell between them. As severus wrote the 3 letters he needed too. He heard Harry's footfalls cross the room and then back to the kitchen. He glanced up as the last was completed and finished putting the last name down and saw that Harry had put on his boxers on, his back was ridged. He sighed, he hated it.. part of him was clawing and screaming at him to make it right.

Harry walked in shortly after he sent the owls and Severus was sat with his bathrobe on. He sat up straight as Harry approached and he handed him the food.

"Did you mean it at least?." Sighed out of Harry

"Which part?." Harry rolled his eyes at him,

"The part where you said I was unexpected and wouldn't be letting me go." He said pointedly, viciously stabbing his fork in the pasta.

" Of course I did you prick. It's never been like that before." His eyes glazed over thinking about the night before and he shook his head lightly clearing the images from his brain.

"You're a stubburn bastard sometimes. " Harry said back to him with a chuckle. He raised an eyebrow at him.

"Feelings Sev, feelings." Harry shot across the room at him. " You always run away from your feelings. " Hot rage surged up into him. Harry had said he was emotionless he called him insecure, and now he was prodding about his feelings again. He threw his pasta plate onto the table.

"What the fuck do you want. Declarations of love. " He pulled himself up yo his full heaight as he spat the word. What left his mouth then was the pouring of everything he had felt that week. " Want me to tell you I have never felt this way. I've never had sex like that before. Tell you that I don't t feel like I deserve it wondering what an old and ugly git is doing here. " Spittle flew from his mouth as he hissees the words. He stared down at him as Harry sat back sharply and away from his anger. " That the thought of it going now I know what it is tears me apart." He growled at him. Then, he walked away into the bedroom, and he lay in the bed, turned away from the door.

His mind screamed at him. You did it now, he will leave, he will hate you. Gods, your week and stupid nobody will ever make you feel like that again. How long he laid there torturing himself, he didn't know. Light footsteps crossed the room.

"Did you mean that?." Harry's voice floated to his ears. He snorted.

"No, I just say random things to people because I like the sound of my voice, you git." A body slipped into the bed and around him.

"You're not old, and you're not ugly." He snorted at the words. "You're not." He closed his eyes to the impossibility. "I'm not going anywhere. " The tone was supposed to be soothing. He desperately wanted to be soothed, but the words, though, the words, couldn't be true.

"Stop lying. Stop.pretending. You will leave. It may not be today but you will. " He shuffled away from him pressing himself to the edge of the bed by the wall. Harry sighed.

"What do I have to do to prove I won't. Marry you. Let you put a lock round my neck. Never look at another human again. " The frustration was clear in his voice. Severus laughed at the thoughts. Maybe this is for the best Sev. Maybe you should just let him go now, so it won't hurt so much when he does finally leave. Harry's arms wrapped around him then. All warm and firm around his body, pulling him back against his chest. Legs entwining his. He kissed his head and then left. This was it. He came back in with his plate.

"Sit up." Harry's voice demanded, and then the pasta was slopped onto his lap, nearly spilling from the plate. " There is a list of what you need to get before wednesday in the kitchen." He told him before he sat down beside him. He stared at the plate. " Do i need to feed you?." Severus started eating the cold pasta slowly.

The plate was whisked away when he was done with it. He found himself pulled into harrys chest. Hands stroking through his hair. Reasurances muttered around him. Gods, he hated this. Gods, he needed this. Part of him wanted to push him away like he used to be. Shove him out of the door. Tell him never to come back. The other part forced his mind to drfit into sweet oblivion and sleep.

he awoke and realised they had shifted about in their sleep, and Harry was once again sprawled out on his chest. Claiming him, possessing him.

The early hours of the morning were spent with soft strokes of hands across bodies and tender kisses and a loud completion as they stroked each others cocks. Severus healed his back, leaving the half moons his nails had made on his hips. Harry rubbed salve on his thighs and across his neck. They ate in silence. Too soon he left. He watched him leave. Walking down the hall. Cloak in hand and muggle clothes on his back. He could have cried out for him to come back. His lips parted to do so, but as Harry turned a corner, he turned into his space again and sharply walked up to his living quarters to get ready for the day. He was not going to be a quivering mess. That weekend had been too full of that already.

The next three days were hard. No eye contact was given. He avoided Harry's area of the classroom in case he swept a hand through his hair as he walked past his desk. The great hall was torture, as he trained his eyes on his food in case he sat staring at Harry. Whose booming laughter could be heard from the gryffindor table. Severus curled around himself, had it all been nothing. He wondered as he walked the halls on patrol. Ignoring the grunts and moans from rooms as he went. His heart just wasn't in it. Mind drifting to Harry turning away from him in the halls. The clipped little sirs when he did manage to get anything out of him. The booming of laughter in the great hall.

Wednesday, found him waiting in his rooms on tenter hooks. He had left his wards down on purpose. Allowing Harry to slip in at his own time and convenience. Doubt roiled round his chest as he shifted to the kitchen and unpacked what the house elves delivered to him.

"Severus." Harry's cheerful voice came into the room, and he ducked out of the kitchen. He was standing there hanging his coat up on the peg by the door. Trunk placed in his living quarters. He blinked at him. Harry crossed the room and kissed him softly.

"Gods the last few days have been hard. " He breathed up at Severus, who just looked down at him in shock. "Do you know how often I nearly dragged you into an alcove. I had to turn away every time I saw you. " He grinned up at him.

"And the laughter. " Severus asked interest peeked.

"Everyone was trying to guess who I was fucking. The choices were quite bizarre." He laughed at Severus's dark look. Mine. A dark voice rang in his head as he nodded along to his words sullenly. Trying to control the hot rage of it. He took a steadying breath He doubted it was anything anyone would guess at quite frankly.

"Strangely, that makes me feel better." He told Harry before sweeping him onto the sofa who gave him a disbelieving look at the lie.. " Are we ready for an exceptional holiday. "

Two weeks of glory past. They enjoyed each others bodies, although Severus pointedly avoided the cupboard. Ate and talked. Severus was surprised by Harry's fast mind. oOce a concept was put into it. It held fast and would be twisted this way and that and inspected before opinions or counter arguements were given.

They worked in Severus's lab. He helped him with his homework. They lounged around for three glorious days with no clothes on. He loved him, he realised. Truly actually loving something for the first time in his life. Not just obsession that he had convinced himself was love. Not just infatuation that followed his young adult life. Not just posesaion which quite frankly he had been doing ever since... but true actaul love. He washed his body and took care of his needs, and tumbled around his bed like a teenager. It didn't even feel fast, but it felt like it had been love for a while, but he had no idea until he inspected it. It was exceptional indeed.

The rooms.were becoming stale though. The air was puckered by the scent of sweat and dust and it needed to be cleaned.

Severus found himself on the third Wednesday being followed to the aparation site of Hogwarts so that the house elves could gain access to his suite to clean. The footsteps falling with no way of seeing the wearer. The trunk shrunk and placed under the bed. He wasn't a stranger to having an over night guest or a weekend guest but if they saw that trunk... He held his hand out slightly to his side. Not wanting people who might be looking thinking it was too odd, and he felt a firm hand in his before aparating away.

As soon as they landed, Harry threw his cloak off him and tucked it away in his robe pocket before smiling up at Severus and taking his hand. The view was spectacular light rolling hills and craggy stones sticking out here and there across the landscape, as if giants themselves had been flinging them from one side of the view to the other. A dark forest cut off the sight on the right, and on the left, a small village was nestled into the side of a hill, small fields dotted around it.

"Wow." Harry said after taking it all in. Severus stared down at him, taking in the sight of him seeing the landscape for the first time. He led him away by his hand. They walked side by side, down a small dirt track. nerves blossoming in his chest. He hadn't been here for a very long time. Only visiting when his small inheretence had come into its own and the last of the Prince line had died out and left to him. The outsider. The black sheep. The one nobody discussed.

He led him over the stye in the lane, and they walked through a field, but as the path led them down a hill, he steered Harry into the bushes.

"Severus we can hardly fuck in there it smells awful.' Harry laughed and gave him a wicked grin.

"There is something I want to show you in there.,"

"Oh really, I doubt there is anything new in there I haven't already had fun with." He smiled slyly and then crinkled his nose at the smell as they got deeper. "It is really nasty. makes me want to puke."

"Will you just trust me OK."

"Yes, Severus." He replied with a roll of his eyes

"Good little brat." Even though Harry was quite disgusted at being there, his cheeks still became pink at his words.

He led him in further, and Harry started muttering about how deep a hedge could be in the first place before he found the little path. The smell got better after that, and Severus started pointing out the birds in the trees and the plants on the ground. Trying to distract them both. Him from his nerves and Harry from wondering what was going on.

Finally, they broke out of the trees, and a small little red bricked Manor stood in front of them with white eaves and many large chimneys sticking from the top. He turned to Harry, and he just gaped at the sight. If he had ever seen malfoy Manor as anything but a hell hole, he wouldn't have been so impressed.

"Sev, I think this is someone's manor we should go."

"Its my manor." Harry just turned and stared at him. Then blinked and turned back before looking at Deverus again. Blinking rapidly. Severus just sneered at him and started walking toward it. What he didn't think he had a house. This sparked his rage. The audacity. Yes, he wore the same robes over and again, and yes, he didn't really care what he looked like. Yes, he hadn't been here in over ten years and never cared for the place, but it didn't mean it was never here. Harry quickly caught up with him as Severus pushed the door open revealing an anter chamber of sorts with sweeping stairs

"Who's there." A small voice squeked. Sevrus's head shifted from side to side, trying to find the source of the voice.

"Blipi, it's the master of the house." Peels of laughter rang out around the room, and Harry looked at him fear in his eyes. Severus turned away. "could you please just come here." He called into the room.

"No, no. Master Snape hasn't been here in a hundred years." The small voice chuckled. "Blipi is quite alone, you must be a dream and a vision. Although the other is a pretty."

"I think she has actually run mad." Severus whispered over to Harry. He hit him on the shoulder with his fist, hard.

"What? I'm not pretty." He dead panned and then walked further into the space, looking into the opened doorways.

"Blipi, just come here now." He called with a sigh into the room. A pop sounded and a small house elf with greying and old pillow case, swayed in her feet before him. He stared at her down his nose. Their eyes met, and hers grew even bigger than before. She reached out a hand and touched his knee. Moving it quickly away when she felt flesh.

"Blipi, this is aharry Potter, I will be showing him around today and then leaving you some instruction." She just stared at him wide-eyed, and he couldn't bear it any longer, so he walked away.

"Why have you brought me here.?" Harry asked him as they moved from room to room. Severus opening curtains and inspecting the odd bit of furniture. He didn't even really know. Well he did. He didn't want to say it out loud, though, not really.

" I needed to check on the house."

"Severus. Dont lie. You haven't been here for a long time. Why did you need to check on it now. Tell me or ... Consequences." He looked at Harry then and saw the set of his jaw and sighed

"I wanted you to see it." Harry pushed his hair back with his fingers making it all stick out on end. Always a frustrated gesture.

"Well that's bloody obvious, why?" Severus turned away and inspected the fireplace for a moment.

"To see if you like it. I suppose." He ground out as he straightened.

"And why the fuck would it matter if I did?. " Harry said firmly. Severus just met his eyes and stared at him. Harry's darted around, but he was pinned by the stare. Their eyes met, and then light flickered behind them.

"Ooh, oh." He said and then looked around the room like it was the first time he saw it. " Oh." He said again. The last one more of a sound of awe. " It's a beautiful place."

It all went much smoother after that. Harry moved around each room, lifting up dust sheets and looking at the views out of the second story window. His mind was ticking Severus could see. Calculating, weighing everything he saw. Moving from room to room and mapping it. Placing it in his mind to observe later. Once they had walked around the bedrooms upstairs, they made their way down the servants' stairs and into the kitchen.

Severus brought a piece of parchment and placed it on the table before muttering and flicking his wand. A long list appeared on the paper ..

"Kreaxher." Harry's voice rang out and he turned to him in surprise. The pop sounded next to him.

"Yes master Harry Potter, sir. " The old elf bowed to him.

"Would you stay here and help Snapes house elf with this house. It's very important to me and she is quite mad. " Kreachers eyes flicked to Severus in disgust but then looked about the room. Then meeting harrys eye.

"If master wants me too. I do not see why it is any of our business, though, sir. " Harry laughed.

"I'm going to live here one day." He told the elf with a big grin. Kreacher blinked rapidly and so did Severus. The big eyes pinned him down and weighed him up.

"As you wish master Harry Potter. Give me the list. I will see it is done, sir. " Severus handed him the list dumbfounded. Harry crossed the room to Severus as he carried on, just blinking at him and placing his hand on his arm, tucking it into his elbow.

"Show me the gardens. If there no good I might change my mind." Severus's legs fumbled about forgetting how to walk andHarryy just dragged him through the back door.

The gardens were set into to walled areas and were quite seperate from each other but quite near the house with small arch ways leading from one to the other with walkways that had twisted vines over head. Harry inspected them before moving on. They were all a mess. Brambles in every flower bed and weeds taller than Severus, but he noted the light in Harry's eyes as he walked down the little paths that criss crossed each space . Harry was silent, though, and it started to worry him.

"Let's go back to the castle." Was the first words that came out of his mouth in over an hour and Severus led him through the back and into a grassed over area, leading him to a large Oak tree that looked over the same hills and village as before. Mind whirling. Did that mean he liked it? Did it mean he didn't. Was he taking back his statement of living in the house one day.

Harry put his cloak about him and then held onto Severus's hand who shakely made the aparation and then they walked Harry's hand still in his awkwardly till they got to his quarters. sSoulders bumping every now and again into his upper arm.

The instant that he got into the space the cloak was off and he moved to the desk. Severus just watched him unsure of what to do. Letter after letter was produced and then sent away by owl. He crossed the room and he heard the creak of his trunk and things being shifted through, he sat silent on the sofa, he was leaving. He was gathering his things and going. He didn't understand why though it had seemed to go so well. The anger from earlier surged to the surface again.

Harry walked into the room and sat beside him before producing a key from his pocket.

"For the house and gardens, I just told the goblins to give you access to the vault." All his feelings burst out of his mouth.

"Why?." He hissed " I can afford to do it myself. Fuck you. " He tossed into the air and stood and crossed the room noting the sigh that came to his ear and footsteps following him.

"Look, you stubburn bastard if I'm going to live there, I'm going to pay my way. if it's going to be done the way I want, which it will. " The voice paused. " Then I should pay for it. OK, stop being a prick, turn around, hug me and take the fucking key" Severus turned at his words and his eyes darted around his face. He didn't see any lies there. Frustration, anger, the glitter of lust. No lies.

He crossed the room and held him to his chest. The key was slipped into his pocket as he did so.

"I should go and get some food. I'm starving and we are down to two onions and a piece of chicken. " Harry anounced Severus frowned down at him.

"You're not supposed to be here. " Severus pointed out.

"You will scare the bloody elves half to death just by walking in. I also know what we need. I'm not eating sandwiches again for an entire day." He informed him, lips quirking to one side of his face. He strode from the room and was gone before Severus could say anything.

He sat and inspected the key in front of him. Turning it in his hands this way and that before going into the living room and placing it in his desk, locking the little draw before moving away and sitting down. His mind buzzed. He really did have a promise of forever. He stared at the door for a monent Harry's cloak caught his eye. He swore into the air. How could he forget his god damn cloak?

He paced the floor not knowing whether to go after him or not. The time ticked by and the hairs on the back of his head stood upright. This was taking to long, maybe he is talking to the elves. He did like talking to the elves. His mind tried to sooth him but he grabbed up the cloak and decided he needed to see. He could give him the cloak and come back together.

He marched down the halls. They were quiet. Eerily vacant. The light was turning from yellow to orange. It was getting on. He went the route he knew Harry took to the kitchens, but no sign of him was found.

As he apeoached the kitchens the sound of grunting and moaning hit his ears from the moment he turned the corner. There was a crash and a cry out. His feet carried him quickly down the long hall and past the picture with the pear. The sounds grew louder, rougher. The sound of a voice ringing out saying please, please over and over again. His eyesight went red and his ears started ringing. He stood by the door listening and his anger built at every utterance, every grunt. He silently stepped into the doorway. What met them made his whole world shatter.

Harry was pressed against a deep window sill facing away from him but at an angle slightly. His trousers were down. Firm hands were laid on his shoulder blades, an arse rocking into his beneath a broad back.. Words were tumbling out of his mouth. Severus couldn't even register what they were. He turned sharply on his heel.

Peices of his heart strewn across the floor. He stepped away. Breathing hard. Feet carrying him quickly down the hall. Mind dead and blank.

"Stop, please. Ah. please stop. It hurts. Ah, ah." The crie echoed about the hall.

Penetrating severuss brain. His blood ran cold. He turned sharply back to the room.

"Fuck, oh fuck, gods stop." He strode back to the room and just caught whoever it was that was fucking him raise a fist and smack it against the back of his head bouncing his head of the stone infront of him. The other he realised was holding a wand and he pushed it into his head.

His feet quickened and as he got closer, the man turned to the sound of him crossing the room. Eand raised dick out. Eyes wide. Severus right hand darted out, grabbed the wand flung it as his hand finsihed it's arc before moving like lightening and capturing the mans throat in his grasp. Squeezing, thumb and fingers nearly meeting at the back. His left darted down and grabbed his dick, he twisted it till it was taught and then with a loud crunch smartly moved it violently to the side thumb pressing just so to maximise the break of the mans cartilage at the base. The man would have dropped to the floor if he hadn't been holding his neck. Severus pushed him against the wall. His face inches away from this cunt and his wand in his throat under his grip.

"The only reason you're alive right now is because I think you deserve to walk around for the next 6 months with a broken dick." He growled into his face. Squeezing his hand around his neck till his skin turned mottled and red. "I will decide then whether to kill you or not. " He looked at Harry, who had slumped on the floor. " Touch what's mine again. One little hair on his head, and they will be finding peices of you for weeks. " He flung the man on the floor. Who laid there and whimpered curled in around his himself. "Oh, and if you go to the hospital wing and get healed, I will know. Poppy is a close friend. She will gladly break it again for you if I explain."

He crossed to Harry quickly and rolled him onto his back. He noted the trickle of blood running down his inner thigh. he growled at the man on the floor. He whimpered. Harry's eyes flew wide. Lookeing at him.

"Not the hospital wing. " He whispered to him before his eyes rolled back into his head. Severus corrected his clothes before swooping down and hauling him into the air in his arms, pressing him as close as he could to his chest. His face red and bruised cuts to his lip and cheek, blood smattered across his skin a small pool gathered on the floor. Smeered by Harry's face. He went over and kicked the bastard a few times where he lay. Straight in the ribs stopping when he heard a pop. Growling into the air again. He left.

At that moment, he didn't care who saw him. His feet rushed, and his precious cargo moaned and hissed in his hands at being jostled by the movement. He whispered words of reassurance to him mind numb and blank. He ran up the stairs from his office and laid him gently down on the bed. Flicking his wand over him as soon as he was able. Sheets of paper rocketing out of his wand and being snatched out of the air before another and another came flying out. Harry started to stir.

"At least it wasn't a hufflepuff. " A small laugh came out of him, and then he doubled over in pain with a whimper. Severus cast a spell over him, drawing him into sleep.

He cast the spells, sat Harry limp body up, and poured the potions into his mouth. He unbuttoned his clothes and stripped him down and then washed his body clean of blood and sweat before rubbing slave and solution's on his skin and arse. Gently touching as lightly as possible. He conjured a chair and watched him sleep.

"Severus." It was the early hours of the morning, and he was drifting off in his chair, his mind finally letting him pull down into sweet oblivion, when the call came,

"Harry." Was all that could leave him. He did not make a move to check the bed. He did not stir from the sitting position he was in.

"I didn't mean for it to happen." Drifted to his ears, the voice breaking and cracking over the words. The sound of a small sob met his ears

"You were raped Harry nobody means for that to happen. " His words were soft and full of sadness. " Sleep."

"I don't want to be alone. " Came the reply from hicuping breaths.

"I'm right here, and I will be right here when you wake up, so go to sleep." He said more firmly. He listened as Harry rustled about in the sheets. His body ached to hold him, but the long hours of thinking had given him one thought and one thought only. He was no better than that man. The one that had attacked Harry and taken what he wanted.

As the predawn light filtered into the room, Severus pulled his creaking body from the chair and went to his desk and wrote a letter. Harry needed healing. He needed to see what was right and wrong. It would tear him away from him. He just knew it, but it was the right thing to do. He laid out what breakfast he had left on a tray and sat and waited for Harry to wake again.

The day was silent and sullen. Harry drifted over to the desk and did his homenwork not being able to sit for too long.. Sad eyes followed Severus whenever he moved around the room. He would indulge himself by running a hand through his hair or pulling Harry close to his side as they read. He got up when Harry tried to kiss him though, knowing that he did not deserve that. Should never take it again.

By the second day, Harry moved around easier. Diagnostics were cast and Severus sighed as it all came back normal. Now it was just time to heal Harry's mind. To help him. To set him free. To understand just how disgusting Severus was as a human.

"I have contacted a mind healer and your sessions will start in the new term." He informed Harry as they sat on the sofa. Harry wrapped around his middle and holding on to him as if he would disappear. In some ways, he would. It would be Harry's choice, though.

"You did what?." Harry said loudly, sitting up and meeting his eye for the first time in two days.

"Harry you have been through alot. Not just recently. My own actions have been... " He skittered away from that. " The war. All you have been through as a child " The face that met him was angry burning , his gaze into his soul.

"You did that without even talking to me about it first. You can barely touch me." His voice broke. " You have ignored me. Pushed me away, and now you're doing this." He got up and crossed into the bedroom. Severus gave him a few minutes maybe it was better that it happened this way. A clean break

"I dont blame you for what happened. I blame myself." He anounced once he walked into the bedroom after him.

"You weren't even there. " Harry bellowed at him from where he sat on the bed. He scoffed at him. " How is any of this down to you?. I left without my wand, without my cloak. I was the slut that slept around. " He moved his eyes away, then, shoulders slumped.

"I was there at that detention, though. I was there that night in the corridor, your dick in my hand. I was there smacking your arse after class. if I hadn't done that, if this had never happened, then you would have been safe. You have to see why this is so fucked up. " Harry refused to look at him thinking about his words he thought. His eyes closed slowly and he decided to go on to the conclusion.

"I raped you, Harry. I sexually assaulted you. Then it happens to you again by someone else's hand when you were supposed to be with me. It's not normal. I don't deserve this, and the fact you are here and not spitting in my face means you need to be healed. You need to see this for what it is. It's fucked up and ugly. "

He met his eyes, then hurt written across his face. He couldn't take it, he walked away. the idea of not holding him, of not comforting him hurt, but he could not would not do that. Harry needed to see exactly what type of monster he was. Feet padded into the room. He didn't look up.

"You think you're so special. " Severus just stared at the floor. " Do you think I couldn't have taken your hand off my dick. Did you think that my t shirt just flew off my back on its own, that I didn't know what calling you names and taunting you would goad you to do. Do you think if you hadn't taken me when you did, I wouldn't have pushed and pulled you till you did anyway. I raped you. If that's what it was Severus. I sat on your cock without you even knowing I was there and rode you like a fucking horse. "

" See fucked up."

"I bent over your lap. I went looking for you in that detention I led you into that classroom. I snuck into your quarters.. I put up with your moods and showed you what fucking really is. " He screamed into the room.

"Again, fucked up."

ahe looked up then seeing Harry ridged with anger and frustration. Hand caught in his hair looking at the bookshelf. Face mottled with angry redness.

"I thought you didn't want me anymore. I thought you thought I was dirty, disgusting, broken. used goods. " Harry's eyes flared and darted over him. "That's what you should have been thinking. "eHe scowled at him .

"I would never." His rage built. How could he ever think of Harry that way. " You fucking imbecile. I love you. God's help you for it. I would never ever think of you that way. I should of killed the prick that did this to you. "

"You didn't?" Severus looked away then. He should of.

"I broke his dick. He won't be able to pee straight for half a year, let alone get an erection. Morning wood is going to be a real pain for him for a while. " He stared at his hands. " Death was too good for him. "

Harry crossed the room to him and cupped his hands around his face and pulled it around so he would meet his eyes.

"If i see a mind healer, will you promise to just trust me that I want to be here, that I won't leave. tTat this is me now, here, with you. For good."

When you see a mind healer, you will realise what an awful monster I am and leave anyway powered he your own steam. The idea if having something now, though. Of holding on for a few more weeks. To comfort, to hold him, to make sure he was actually ok and didn't think of himself that way. To have those memories to look through when he had left, and he was old and grey. Alone and broken. To know that in this, at least he did the right thing. A final act of service, if you will, for someone who showed him he did, in fact, have the capacity to love. Even if it was ripped away, quite rightly in the end. He nodded his head. He hated himself for it.

Harry pushed him back onto the sofa and climbed into his lap. Legs either side. His favourite place to be. Severus's hands hovered over his hips and then fell to the sides of them, not touching Harry at all. Gods he wanted too but he just couldn't. He should be comfortable, but he still felt so raw about it all. He heard the sigh in his neck.

"I love you too," Harry whispered into his ear. Severus should be used to his brain malfunctioning by now, but he wasn't, and it was with a whirl of thoughts in his mind that his hands clasped around Harry's back and pulled him closer to his chest

The next few days felt like they had started again. Broken and shattered was yesterdays past, and they built it up again around them. It was quicker and easier than before. Like the traces of the design of their relationship still hovered unsseing around them, and they were just slotting peices into the holes. Furtive kisses and hand holding. Harry spread possesively over his chest. No move to sexual gratification, but Severus wasn't surprised. At least in this, Harry was displaying a healthy boundary after what he had been through, giving himself time to heal. To be comfortable again. Severus knew it could sometimes do the opposite. Look at his own behaviour through the years.

Comfort became much easier to give. It was like he was desperate to do so inside and was easier to give now he felt he had permission. Harry's anger flared and mood dropped and stuttered but again it was expected after what he had been through. Didn't Sevrus know that feeling well enough. Ever present the knowing it would all be ripped away at some point but glad he could do what he could, until it was.

The end of the break grew closer, and the day was wet and wild. He could tell Harry wanted to say something for most of the day. He spluttered and walked away a few times, before coming back.

"Spit it out brat. I have things to do." Severus said exasperated.

"I, er, I was wondering if Ron and Hermione could come here. "

"What?." The word came out flat. Mind blank. Eyes unblinking.

"I need to tell them what happened. I don't think I'm going to be ok out there. I need their support. " Hary looked at the door that led down to his office, the one he hadn't walked through for four days. Severus nodded, it all made sense. It was something his aching mind hadn't even really thought of.

"Owl them to come. I will tidy up your things . Set up a bed on the sofa." Harry brow creased. " Unless you want them to know "

"I don't really care at this point who knows. " but he helped Severus tidy away his things that were scattered about the apartment. After severus had set up a small bed on the sofa and then messed it up, like that's where he slept and had been for a while.

A tentative knock came to the door. Harry kissed him lightly on the cheek before he opened it up for his friends.

"Harry." H3rmione yelled and grabbed him around the neck.

"Mate, we were getting worried. We hadn't heard from you all break," Ron said and then jumped when he saw Severus sitting on his makeshift bed. He stood and walked over.

"Harry has experienced something awful.." He told them, and all three of them looked at him as he spoke. " I found him by the kitchens. He was getting a snack before going to surprise you both with coming back early. There, he was attacked. I managed to ... rectify the issue and brought him here when he refused to go to the hospital wing. He has been recovering here. I'm sure Harry will tell you more. Why don't you go into his room. "

They both turned and stared at Harry, who shrugged a shoulder at them and led the way to the bedroom.

Loud bursts of noise punctuated the conversation as the three spoke. He clearly heard Hermione shout the word raped and Ron 10 minutes later shouting. He broke his dick. He swopped in an hour or so later once it seemed calm with tea and food. The room fell silent and he gestured at the food and left to hearing Harry say.

" Give him a chance please. "

It was shortly after that that Hermione drifted into the room and sat in the arm chair closest to the door

" You care about him. " Severus just met her eyes. " Thank you for helping him." She said as if the last statement was never said.

" It's fine, it's,what a teacher does." He scowled at her as a smile crossed her face. Her eyes darted over the makeshift bed he set up and was sitting on.

" Of course it is... Will he be OK out there." She gestured to the door

" He will need support. I have set up a mind healer to start next week. He will have the sessions here Tuesdays and Thrusdays. He will have extra defensive classes on Wednesdays."

" Then back here Friday night. " She said casually. He stared at her again.

" I dont know what you mean." He sipped his tea.

" We can look after him the rest of the time." Then she drifted back into the room with the boys.

An hour or so later, the three gave him tentative looks as they walked back into the living room. Harry said his goodbyes to them there. He sighed as he turned to Severus and crossed the room crawling into his lap. Severus noticed the stress that had crept around his eyes. He ran his fingers through his hair for a while.

"Did you tell them about us." Harry snorted.

"You would know if I had. The screaming would of gone on for a while."

"Hermione knows." Harry's head shot up again. a parady of a previous conversation.

"What?" His eyes were full of shock this time at least.

""She aproached me after I brought food in. She didn't seem to mind." Harry's face changed to one of thinking before he placed his head back onto his sholder.

"Hmm, well, that is something. Thank the gods for that, at least." His arms snaked around Severus's waist.

The Sunday was spent getting Harry's things together. Plans were made for every weekend. Harry sighed as Severus explained about the mind healer and the excuse to see him on Wednesdays as well.

"I just think it's fucking unfair. I could be spending that time.with you." He said in frsutration. severus just shrugged at his words but Harry's anger deepened.

"Don't just shrug at me, you prick. Look at me in the eye, at least." Severus swept him over with his eyes. He knew where this was going. The last few days Harry's anger had swirled around him more often and more wildly and only drastic measures seemed to calm him down. He flung the contents of the kitchen around earlier because he anounced he couldn't find any food. Severus knew that it was the anger at the situation, the stress of leaving. The hurt of what happened but twice in one day was draining. He watched as Harry flung things out of his trunk, and at him, he sighed. Things bouncing of his sheild charm once he nearly got hit in the face by a sneeker scope.

"Come " It had become a routine by now. He dreaded the day it didn't calm him down. He pointed to a spot on the floor. "Kneel." He demanded and harry did exactky as he was told. Breath coming hard. Head bowed. Severus went into the room and corrected his things. Scooping more of his possessions up and tumbling them haphazardly into the trunk that was open in the middle of the room.

He crossed the living room and ruffled his hair as he had passed. He learnt that the ruffle was important. He noted Harry's breathing had already calmed. hH sat on the sofa.

"Better." He asked the bowed figure.

"Yes, Severus.," Came the reply. He was afraid that his need for submission was dangerous. Another sign of how fucked up they were as a couple. Another reason for him to leave.

"Come here." Harry stood in between his legs. "I understand your angry Harry, but you need to stop flinging shit around." He sighed as Harry's head, drooped further.

"Yes, Severus. " He moved his hands of his lap and harry climbed in.

"Whos the stubburn git now." They both laughed before Harry kissed him softly. It was a long kiss, a sweet kiss. More than anything they had shared for four days. As Harry pulled away, Severus whispered to him." Good little brat." Which earned him a little smile and a blush.

Ron and Hermione knocked on his door a few hours later after the dinner hour. Harry pulled his trunk to the door and met Severus's eyes sadly. He flicked his wand at his trunk that rose onto the air slightly and unhooked his cloak from the peg. Severus watched from the sofa as he went away. It was hard. He was also very proud of the fact that he lifted his head and walked out with his shoulders straight.

He saw him the following day in class and as he walked by let his finger tips brush across his back. He fiund more and more reasons to walk past him. More and more ways to show him comfort in anyway he could. It did seem to ease the stress in his back and by the end of the lesson his head was held high once again.

Tuesday, a knock came to his door, and a brown haired and bespectacled mind healer stood in front of him. She moved around the office and settled herself in. Harry came to the door and stepped inside, silent, head bowed once again. Ron and Hermione looked worried as he stepped in before shutting the door.. Severus nodded to them. made sure all was well and went to do his rounds, giving them privacy. He said nothing when he swept past his office a second time, and Hermione and Ron were still sitting outside the office back to the wall. He just glided by. Pretending he didn't see it even though it made him open his eyes just a little bit more to people he didn't actaully like very much.

Wednesday, his body hummed with the fact that Harry had walked into the classroom in morning break, left a note on his desk, and left. To start with he thought that this was it. They were done. The mind healer only needed to see him once. With shaking hands, he looked at it. Unfolded it and then looked at it. Surprised it was a note saying he would be at his room before the dinner hour. That he missed him. That he needed all the time he could get. His hopes that that would be ok. When he next saw him surounded by gryffindors he nodded at him slowly. Harry's eyes went from dull and dead looking, to dancing and he laughed hard at something someone said as Severus left the courtyard.

Severus was unpacking the bags of food that had been left in his office by the elves, when arms wrapped around him from behind. A loud inhale of breath swept over his shoulder. He twisted around and buried that body deep into his chest before tilting his brown haired head up so that he could connect their lips. Ugh, he had wanted to give this comfort for days... it grew, though, So soon they were moving connected together every part of their bodies touching each other. Their legs tangled as they moved, their arms were wrapped around one another. Chests bumping together before flying apart. Harry was on the sofa under him. He kissed him slowly, gathered his feelings, pushed them into his mouth. A hand wrapped into his hair and another soft touch to his face. Severus forced them to pull apart. It had been so close. Scarily close to losing himself to his touches. His hand had snaked up to his skin on his back under his shirt.

"Hello there little brat." He murmured. His face hovering inches above Harry's. Still captured, stuck between wanting to be close and to pull away to give distance.

"Hello, yourself." He breathed back before putting his arms around his neck and pulling him back down, rutting his hips up into Severus's and moaning. Msking him see stars as they kissed. It's too soon. Rang in his head, he pulled away again. Kissing the pouting lip lightly before standing and tugging at his shirt. Using that as an excuse to push his erection in a less obvious place. Harry laid on the sofa and made no moves to hide his.

"What would you like to eat." Severus said lamely before moving into the kitchen. Silence just met his ears, so he carried on unpacking what he had and then looked around at it all, trying to decide what to make. He turned when he was done cooking, and Harry was leaning up against the kitchen door frame. Just standing there watching him.

"Why won't you touch me." Severus looked down at the plates in his hand and put them back on the side. He knew this was a bad idea. He knew that it was going to cause an argument, he had actaully really just didnt want to go there tonight. To just have a good evening.

"I'm not sure that you're ready." At harrys disgusted face, he carried on. " It's been a week. I want to touch you. I want to be with you, but I'm afraid I could trigger something or, or. I still feel so guilty about everything. from our past to what happened now. I just can't at the moment. " He was spurred on by the look of anger on the other mans face and the need to be plain and honest. It was the most honest he had probably ever been by the look of shock on Harry's face.

"That was, that was,." Harry stepped forward and brushed a hand over Severus's forehead. " Are you feeling ok." The lights of amusement were dancing in Harry's eye, and it made Severus's face go all sharp and his nostrils flare. He pushed the hand away and turned back to the plates picking them up and pushing past Harry, who quickly moved out of the doorway. They both sat and ate in silence for a while. The cold fury calming some as they did.

"Sev, what's going on? This has changed everything, is it me. Don't you want me anymore. I don't think you have anything to feel guilty about. My mind healer said. Well, she said that we both did things at the beginning, but as long as we are working toward a healthy future, it's OK." Severus's eyes shut at this. sSe would change her mind, he was sure. May as well be honest with all this maybe then he would finally see.

"I feel bad because I know Harry, not just because it was disgusting on it's own. I know what it's like to be on the end of it. The thought I did that. That I did that to you. That I could do that to anyone. I'm truly fucked up. I played all these games and never asked why and it's because I need control. The first time anyone had control over me sexually was when I was 13. After all that, You're the only person who has had that privilege. " He trailed off. Not meeting his eye or looking from his plate. He got up and threw the rest of the food in the sink. He couldn't eat it. He stood unsure what to do with himself. Facing the sink looking at all the spoiled and wasted food.

Fitting.

Warm arms pulled him against a firm chest.

"That must of been really hard to say. I'm so proud of you. We will get through this Severus. You wait and see." He just shook his head at the words. "We will." A tear trailed down his face.

"I should be comforting you." The laugh that escaped Severus was wobbly instead of full of its normal dry amusement as it cracked. " Come here," He turned and pulled Harry into him. " What would you like to do tonight." Harry's eyes lit up, and he dragged him into the living room. Producing a deck of cards that looked suspiciously like they exploded. "No, no, no." Severus said backing out of the room. tTe puppy dog eyes drew him back in, though, and he groused and grumbled while small explosions were set off in his room.

He had swapped his patrol with Flitwick, so on Thursday night, he would be out when the mind healer was with Harry. She arrived a few minutes early, so they had a brief chat about Severus's thoughts. He now knew she was aware of their relationship and it had put him on edge at first, but she didn't seem to judge at all. He didn't contribute much before Harry got there feeling it was too private, to personal, to much about Harry. He let Ron and Hermione sit outside his office again and slipped them a pass each before starting patrol. At least his friends won't get in trouble for being loyal. He had filled it out for every Tuesday and Thursday. When he arrived back at his desk, a small little card was sitting on it with contact detaisl and a little note saying if he ever felt he needed to talk to someone. He studied it for a long while and then tucked it into his robe.

Friday came and the normal feeling of excitement was bubbling up in his chest

He wondered if Harry would stay. What they would do. When he would go back. So when he walked into his quarters. Face sullen, throwing his bag and ripping his cloak of. He couldn't help but feel sad. He crossed the room and held him at shoulder length.

"What happened? are you ok?." He said, as he looked him over. Harry's face just contorted and his fists bunched. He looked at Severus in the eye and then just screamed. He thrashed and punched and kicked and cried. All Severus could do was hold him close and pull him to the floor When he was done. Sit with him holding him on his lap. He had seen the other student that raped him today. He found out through sobs. He should of killed him. He should of gone to the head. He rocked him lightly on his lap.

"Should we go and tell the Head Harry? It is what I should have done in the first place." Harry met his eyes. His were red rimmed and damp. Tears clinging to his eyelashes.

"I don't know. I don't think I can see him again. Even if he did just see me and run away. It was to much. " Severus nodded to that. It was hard having a reminder walking around maybe he should kill him now. He thought about it. Was half way through planning it out. "Can we talk about it tomorrow and see. I want to take you out tomorrow anyway." Severus's mind slid away from that trail of thought when it was caught by his words

"We can't do that, Harry, not in the magical world. " Harry smiled up at him.

"We can in our own little slice of it. Let's go to the house." Severus smiled down at him. That did in fact siund perfect.

So that following day after a night of holding one another, they walked to the hedge and pushed through the smell of the place. Harry moaning and groaning the whole way with soft gags before beaming at Severus, the instant he saw the manor.

They walked the small path to the house and entered. Spending the day with plans spread over the old kitchen table that Harry surprised him with. Producing them from his robe pocket and then enlarging them. Harry's finger sweeping across the page as he planned out the rest of their lives.

He stared at it all. The lab, the library, two studies and guest rooms. A day room, a palour, living room and dinning room. He swept his eyes to Harry, who had a new light shining from within as he talked about colours and materials. Then found himself dragged around the house to look at what furntiure they had. He really didn't mind. It started to feel like forever, it felt slightly like there was a chance. His onky had two sessions with the healer Sev, he reminded himself. His mood wouldn't be squashed, however, and the late afernoon was spent wondering the gardens and Harry telling him of all he had planned there too.

The following 2 months carried on the same pattern. He noticed the patrol schedule was quickly changed , so he only patrolled on the nights Harry had sessions and Sundays. hH attended a few meetings to investigate a missing 7th year. Bored eyes roaming around the room until He met Poppies and if anyone had looked closely, these eyes and that of the medi witch twinkled. He spoke to the mind healer before each one of Harry's sessions, and she arrived earlier and earlier to do so. He didn't mind, he actually found he really liked the woman. Respected her opinion. Was in awe of the fast changes that he found in Harry. He would get respectful nods from Harry's friends.

They grabbed moments on the days that they weren't supposed to see each other. The nights he had the healer, he would often find him asleep in his bed once he got back from patrol. Hair strewn across a pillow. Arms automatically snaking about him and sleepily. He would climb on his chest at every oportunity that he could. Still possesve still showing him that Severus was in fact his and always would be. He started to believe it.

The moods and anger slowly got better. The mind healer worked with pensive and potion, leglamance and counselling, to slowly help Harry through it all. So on a Tuesday morning he was shocked to have found Harry screaming in Draco's face before getting punched in the gut and throwing the blond clean into the air with a connected fist to the face.

"BRAT." His voice rang out before he could think of the consequences. Falling into the old routine of what had worked before and had been used a hundred times already. He marched into the.scene as Draco laid sprawled on the floor. Pointed next to himself and Harry knelt right there in the courtyard.

He stalked over to Draco, who slowly shuffled himself back on his arse away from the glare on his face.

" Family or not you little fuck you touch him one more time I will break the fist that did it. " Gsps.rang out around him and that should have been a warning, but he couldn't stop, as the sneer plastered across his godsons face made his eye sight tinge red. The words he said next didn't help either.

"Why does it matter to you. " He jutted his jaw. " Its just Potter his a cunt Sev. You always said so."

"His mine Draco and if you touch my things I will break your hand one finger at a time. "

"BRAT. " He shouted across the space. Harry lifted his head to him. "Come." He strode from the space. To the sound of even more gasps and then loud chatter broke into the space as Harry trotted up to him. shaking. then followed him in wake as he dwept up the corridor..

By the time he had got to his office, he had realised what he had done. Calculated how long it would be until the head knew and then worked out the minutes it would take to be fired and flung from the castle doors. He wasn't sure if he even cared. He looked at Harry, who had placed himself on his knees in the middle of the room the moment he entered the quarters. Chest heaving and trying to calm himself. He ruffled his hair and then sat with his head in his hands. What had he done? he had pulled them apart when it was juat getting good.

He hadn't realised that Harry had got himself up and was miving around the bedroom for a while. He didn't realise that he had crossed to the mirror and was sorting his appearance out. The time he realised was when a pair of posh trousers stood in front of him and he eyes travelled up his body and then gaped at the man standing in front of him.

He was, and Sevwrus guessed always had been lord black. This moment though he was dressed in a way that made that fact very clear. Hair swept back from his forehead with too much gel. Scar standing promininetly. The official lord black chain on his chest. Rings and cufflinks. The loop of fine chain of the black pocket watch sweeping across one hip to sit nestled in a pocket of a tuxedo. He blinked at him.

"We are going to go and sort this fuckery out. " Severus just shook his head at him. " Oh yes, We are. I have Followed you through the halls. This time, you're going to follow my lead. Stop being a stubburn bastard. Get up and do as I say." He hissed the last part at him. He picked up a wedge of papers from the side he hadn't even noticed before and left. Severus quickly following. Stunned.

The walk through the halls was sureal as people skittered away from the boy who lived as he stalked forward. Most of them didn't even notice him as they moved away. He realized Harry must have the face of fury that even made him stutter some times. He led them up into the castle and Ron and Hermion joined them and walked behind Severus. It was all like some bizzarre parade through the corridors. Then Luna the Neville added themselves to it, then Dean and Seamus holding hands and nodding to each other before joining the group. Determined. He was blank right up to stopping outside the gargoyles

"You go up fist. I want to hear what she has to say to you about our consensual relationship." Nobody gasped about him like he had suspected they would. Harry's eyes were like fire, so Severus just nodded, going dumb and slightly turned on by the fact that this man was his and untterly terrifying.

" Ron, Hermione, you back me up with the facts." He pointed to both of them who seemed to be holding their own little piles of papaer work.

"You guys witness I want you quick quills out and parchment floating before we get in there." Thee four complied, then he turned to the gargoyles.

"Cat nip." They grudgingly slipped aside.

Severuss legs wobbled as he walked up the stairs. He didn't like the fact a plan had been formed about an eventuality he himself had never seen coming. He dreaded to think of what awaited him behind that door. Harry slipped a reasuring hand lightly on his back as Severus walked ahead of him giving it a light brush with his fingertips before pushing him through the door and shuting it quickly, behind him.

Minerva sat fingers steepled and elbows on the desk. Eyes looking dark.

"You have some nerve Severus Snape, at least this way I don't have to stalk you down and fire you on the spot. I would have thought you would of run."

"I can explain Minerva." His voice was low and smooth as always, his mask slammed up around him.

"Take my name out of your mouth. We were friends, and I find out your fiddling one of the kids of this school. Not just any kid but the boy who lived. " Her voice became like ice."I could get you thrown into Askhaban for this "

The door opened again and everyone else crowded in. Harry crossed the room. Minerva's eyes glew wide at the sight of him and everyone else.

"Whats this?. get out." She yelled loosing her composure.

"No. " Said Harry flat. " You didn't even want an explanation, but I'm here to tell you, you can't actually do this and why." He esmirked down at her," Hermione." She gulped and moved forward, slapping her paperwork on the desk.

" No school rules have been breached they all talk about minors. Harry isn't a minor. They are actually extremmely clear on defining the difference. As Harry is not actually of school age but in attendance rule 7 sub secrtion 23 clearly states that it is not, in anyway the same."

"Ron." Ron did the same.

" nNo wizarding law have been breached Harry isnt a minor and his ... kinks arent illegal either. There relationship therefore is considered private and by the law protected as such. " He blushed at the obvious time but grew more confident as he spoke as well..

"He is still going to get fired. His behaviour this year has been..."

"Sorry to cut in but how the fuck did you think he was gojng to be... " Harry seethed, as Severus mind went blank at the threat. "but that neither here nor there. If he leaves I do to and if I leave you will be paying me everything that dumbledore stole back into my account with compesmnsatiin."

The room fell deathly quiet and Severus's wide eyes shot to his face. Wait, what. Harry looked perfectly, calm perfectly at ease. Propping himself up on the desk. Every bit the arrogant twat that he loved. He slapped his papers onto the desk and Minerva with wide eyes starting scanning the paper work.

"No. ' she breathed. Her head snapped at a now empty portrait hanging on the wall. Scowling. " I cant believe it."

"It's there in black and whiite. There are copies already with a lawyer. Another with a very special friend. As you can see by the total I will bankrupt the school if I sue. I would also definitely win. I like you Minerva you were a good head of house. " Harry lookd sad then " Don't make the same mistakes as other." He breathed at her.

The room was filled with the scratching of quills and she looked about at the witnesses and then looked Severus up and down.

"Don't look at me. I had no idea about any of this. Harry seems to know what I will do better than I do. "

"That I do love." and he crossed the room and lightly pecked him in the cheek. Shooting butterflies into Severus's stomach at the open display of affection. He turned his firey eyes on Minerva.

"He stays until I do my newts and leave. Then we will both be happy never to come here again. You will treat all 8th years like adults. Not naughty erent children, who don't know what they want, so please take of the charms on THEIR private rooms. Also if i want to fuck this one in a fountain there is jack shit you can do about it. " He smirked at her again. " Don't mess with whats mine." He ground out. Then his face brightened. " We are only hsre for another 4 weeks. "

"I , I, " she stuttered. To much information running around in her brain, Severus concluded. "Ok, Mr. Potter. I can see you have been treated terribly, and I can see that you care for Severus. I just thought he was taking advantage of you. I was trying to protect you." Harry laughed a bitter and twisted sound.

"Nobody protected me from the Dursleys. Nobody protected me from Voldermort or this school or the bullies within it or death eaters.." He looked around the office in disgust. ," Trust me, I can handle Snape. He can handle me to. Just about." He smiled at Severus wickedly. "I think that's all that needs to be said." hH ushered everyone back out.

"Well, that was terrifying." Ron announced as they got back into the hall. Everyone laughed and nodded their heads. Severus just stood and stared about himself, unsure where he fit in. Harry snuck and arm around his waist.

"Party at our house this weekend, I think. " Severus stared at him in utter surprise. Then his mind went blank. Gryfindors, his surrounded by Gryfindors. "Get the Slytherins along too. I think Severus is about to have a heart attack." The 7 around him laughed.

"Slytherins?" Severus breathed.

"Yeah, we can do inter house healing blah, blah, crap. I need to make it up to Malfoy some how as well. You nearly made him crap his pants, and you are family soo..." Harry shrugged. " I don't like the git but his going to be my family at some point. I might as well try." The implication of this settled into Severus's head. aA everyone else started drifting away. Severus wrapped an arm round Harry's shoulders, and they slowly walked back to their quarters.

"Would you want that." He asked slowly.

"What marriage. well, I think I kind of made that clear about three months ago. " He laughed.

"But seriously though."

"Still insecure severus," Harry sighed. " Yes, you idiot." He rolled his eyes at him. " I don't go about threatening jead teachers for anybody, and I doubt you break peoples hands for just anyone either, especially Draco's. "

"I didn't actually..."

"You would of Severus. " He said like he was stating the obvious. " Blow of patrol tonight. I have a short session. " He gave him a half lidded look. Severus just nodded, not trusting his voice.

That afternoon, Harry popped in to check on Severus at every opportunity. He hadn't changed from his lord black self, apart from the hair. The classes would shuffle in and witness Harry sitting lightly on Severus's desk while Ssverus himself sat at his chair holding one of his hands. Murmuring to each other. Gasps would ring out, Harry would eyeball the students until it stopped. He would step away before the class was due to start but never before giving Severus a kiss. On the cheek, the lips, the forehead. Lithe little body stalked out of the room, and on one occasion, a snicker could be heard before he joined Ron and Hermione, who always waited in the corridor. Severus would have to sit for a moment before he started sweeping around his class.

The great hall Harry entered and shot Malfoy a look. Severus watched with a bit of worry as he crossed to the blond dnd laid a hand on the sitting mans shoulder. Bent down and whispered something in his ear. The blond went pale and then his eyes shot up at the face that was leaning in. One curt nod and harry was away.

"Invite your friends as well. We all need to get on." Rang across the silent hall. Everyone had waited with bated breath to see the fight take place, and the volume increased when it was obvious none was going to happen.

Harry waited at the edge of the dias once he had finished his food and huffed as Severus met his eyes. He walked slowly to go and join him feeling like the world had flipped upside down and he was the younger man in this relationship, butterflies spreading across his stomach. What was he going to do. The room fell silent again as everyone started noticing the two coming together. Harry blew his fringe out of his fsce and then wrapoed a possesive arm around Severus's waist and pulled him close to him before walking the path down the middle aisle and between the students. Eyes followed them. Just as they were exiting and Severus thought his back would burn from the eyes searching it. Harry's hand skittered down to his arse and gave it a heavy squezze. The buzz behind them incresed and Severus yenked him up against the nearest wall.

"What the fuck are you doing?." He hissed into Harry's face. He looked earily calm.

"Making sure everyone knows ytis is my choice and I'm not just some pathetic fuck that will follow you around like a puppy and fall to my knees like a child. " He gazed into Severus's eyes, a look of pleading for him to understand. " If one person in there believes your your taking advantage of me we are screwed Severus."

"And Malfoy. " He huffed out the murmur.

"I told him we were going to be married. So he better change his life view. Then, I invited him and his mum to the party." Harry said, cocking his head to one side.

Severus couldn't help it. He leaned in and connected his lips with those soft and pliable ones. Harry melted beneath him and Severus, who had already crowded him to a wall, made their bodies connect and flush to one another as Harry moaned into his mouth. He lowered his head and grazed his neck with his teeth before spattering kisses across the flesh. The sound of scrapping benches could be heard, but Severus didn't care he had wanted to do this for weeks, and now he could. Harry squirmed beneath him, rubbing his body deliciusly all over Severus's.

Footfalls and faltering steps could be heard around them, and still they stayed. Harry yanked on his hair to pull his lips back to his. The only thing that stilled was the grinding of his hips as a crowd of people past them. As the hall fell silent, green eyes met black.

"Blow of your rounds tonight. " and Harry sauntered off to join Hermione and Ron, who were waiting at the end of the passage he Could of sworn he gave Ron a high five. He shook his head in disbelief.

He made his way up to his office. Mind still swirling from the events of the day. He made his way over to his little desk and tried for a while to think of an excuse for not going to rounds without just saying.

I'm fucking Harry tonight every which way I can.

Which honestly was the only thought in his head. The thought of him dressed up like that, the thought of everyone skittering away from him. The thought of him being a snidy twat to the headmistress of all people and then his possesive behaviour all afternoon, followed by that kiss. His trousers tented from it all, and his head swam. In the end, he made a lame excuse of feeling under the weather and sent it off to Minerva, knowing she would read between the lines anyway. He sighed and moved down to get his office ready.

Knocking greeted his ears, not 20 minutes later, and he turned to let the mind healer in. Who gave him a knowing look.

"Ah." He breathed. "Even you knew I would screw up." He murmured. She laughed.

"Harry knew that at some point he would need you to calm him down in public." She corrected. Severus blinked at her. "It's a what it does, it calms him down. We thought you knew that."

"I did I just hadn't thought of it that way."

"Severus you need to stop blaming yourself for everything and let Harry be there for you the way you are there for him more often. Have you contacted the mind healer? " He sighed, it had been an on going discussion.

"Yes, last week. I'm waiting for time slots. " He confessed. She nodded and smiled at him.

"I'm proud of you, that's great news." At that moment, the door knocked and Harry came in with his trunk floating behind him. Severus just stared.

"What I don't need to just come when ever I can grab it. I can live here now." Rose just stared at his apparel. "You kike it." He said to her doing a little spin.

"Yes. It suits you lord black." Harry snickered.

Severus found himself floating the trunk into his living space and staring at it sitting in the middle of the living room. it felt like no time at all till Harry opened the door oposite him.

"Your over thinking, aren't you Sev." Harry murmured before crossing the room.

"It's been a day." he breathed up at him, then took his hand and allowed himself to be hauled to his feet. Harry pulled his head down to him sharply and passionately kissed him before pushing him into the bedroom and onto the bed.

"I have been waiting for this a really long time. " He breathed. While he started shedding his clothes. "Ah, I have presents for you. " He said, and Severus's eyes grew wide as Harry left the room again. Only wearing his posh trousers. He came back quickly and threw large packages onto the bed. "I hope you don't mind. I measured you up while you were sleeping." He grinned down at Severus while he tentatively pulled on the brown paper.

Robes spilt out of the first package. A fountain of back material with the hint of green around them. He moved a hesitant hand to the other and shirts and trousers erupted forth from that one as well.

"I can't have my consort walking around in faded things." Harry smirked down.

"Your, your what?" Harry looked at him carefully, probably gauging if Severus was about to erupt but honestly, he just didn't have it in him. His brain was too confused from the days events already.

"Well, I'm pressuming that is what you will eventually be." He blinked rapidly and then ran his hands through the soft material, making a mess on the bed. He picked up a robe and inspected it. Pure vibrant black with green eye shaped ovals embrodered onto the collar that would ring around his throat. He ran a thumb over the embroidery. It clicked into his head then that this would truly be forever.

He rose and caught harrys eye, and whatever he saw , Harry had misinterpreted, so he started to back away. Severus caught him by the wrist and pulled him sharply to his body. Capturing his eyes again, he crowded him to the back wall before grabbing Harry's arse and hefting him up against it. Harry moaned as Severus lowered his lips to his, and they stood, Harry pinned and legs wrapped around him while Severus plundered his mouth and rolled his hips into him. The noises became more guteral, and Severus allowed Harry to pull and pop the buttons from his robes and then shirt. Pinging and skittering across the floor.

Severus caught the material still around Harry's arse and slowly let it rip down it's seam. He moaned as the feel of Harry's bare skin filled his hands as he slipped them under the torn material, forcing the sound of ripping to fill the air. His moan was met by Harry's, and he lowered his head onto Severus's shoulder and worried a big bruise into it with his teeth.

Severus's thumb slipped onto the tight little ball of muscles that was his hole and rubbed circles into it with his pad. Harry groaned into it lighting a fire in Severus. Knocked his head against the wall at this small feeling. Allowing Severus to work on his neck and nibble on his ear before pulling away and carrying Harry over to the bed and flinging him onto the new clothes.

"Leave them on." He told Harry as he started Working on the button and zipper of his trousers. A half lidded look met him and he swooped down and peppered kisses all over the firm muscled chest bellow him. He stood and allowed his robe and shirt to fall to the floor before leaning in again and kissing along Harry's chest and taking up a nipple in his mouth. Playing With the other torturiously with his long finger. Twisting it, rolling it while sucking on the other, noises crashing and burning in the air. Harry's hands flew into Severus's hair and he yanked on it roughly, making Severus moan but not moving him from his postion.

Harry used his entire body to flip Severus over and then straddled his hips before lowering his own head and driving Severus crazy with the feel of his mouth round his pecs and on his nipples before they were sucked and flicked. He pulled himself together and pulled himself up on the bed and Harry followed him nipping and biting at his body as they went making him even more excited.

He squeeled as Severus flipped him unexpectedly and ran kisses down his arms and obto his stomach. Sucking on his hard abs before flicking his tongue in his navel. Harry groaned and arched and then flipped them over to kiss down his sides, leaving a bruises on Severus's hips making him writhe then planting himself back onto his hips and kissing Severus passionately. Lips connected, Severus moved them to the side and fumbled with his own trousers before running a languid hand into the riped seam and massaging his arse heavily. Harry moaned and flipped severus onto his back again. Severus dragging Harry on top of him so he could bring both his hands to his arse, Pulling the rip wider and fondled him while Harry breathed heavily into his shoulder and then licked and nipped at his bare flesh.

He cast the charm that would lubriacate and stretch Harry some before dipping a finger into his seering heat. Harrry rocked into the contact and swore quietly into his neck, pawing a little at the sheets. then peppering his chest with kisses hovering his arse slightly in the air so Severus could slip in a second and thorougjly fuck that hole just this making him excuted beyind all the tiuvhes. relishing in the wide eyes and loud moans that he got to witness when Harry sat up slightly into it and met his eyes. He pulled his hand away to much protest and flipped Harry over again. Looking down at him all dishevelled beneath him. Gods he loved him. He licked up his neck and peppered him with kisses and Harry whined beneath him, egging Severus on to put his dick in him, a noise he had ever made before but it was him so hot it burned a fire in his gut. He pulled away completely and knelt beside him looking on as angry eyes met him, soft pout on his lower lip. Laying there all dishevlled and chest heaving slightly. Just like Severus's.

"Come on, kneel for me." He murmured to the sulking man on the bed. He slowly got up and knelt in front of Severus. Who circled behind him and forced Harry's legs to splay apart and for him to rise so Severus could slot in behind him. He lined his cock up to where it needed to be and Harry leaning against him, securing himself on his hips, slipped Severus's cock deep into him slowly. Inch by inch, teasing. The muscles in Severus's legs bunched and twitched but he beat down the urge to just thrust inside him. The sensation of being in him.after such a long break driving him wild inside and making him groan. His hands wondered up Harry's chest as he sat there impaled for a moment and startrd to play with his niplles thrumming them with the pads of his thumbs trying to dostract himself and be patient. Harry moved. Bounced his cock in and out of him slowly moaning and humming to the feel. Words flew from his moth as Severus carried on his caresses. As he answered each of his utterances. The speed picked and severus gripped his shoulders to steady him as he bounced and swore until he laid against bis chest grinding his hips for a minute.

"Severus, fuck me please. " He beseached. He frowned and looked at Harry.

"I am." He murmured .

"For gods sake, move and make me sceeam, damn it." He said and pulled away, bouncing more rapidly once again. Severus took a tentative thrust into him matching his boucnes. A loud moan escaped.

"More severus." He thrust into him, matching his hips with Harry's. " Fuck Me into oblivion, now." Harry yelled into the dark room. His body moved into action, hands skittered over hips, and he secured his forearms around his waist, hands gripping onto the other before thrusting deeply into Harry, who couldn't move or bounce anymore just hover. He built uo his pace, his depth, his power.

"Fuck yes more Severus." Harry gripped onto his thighs as Severus roughly yanked him into the air further dnd and usd his entire lower body to thrust into the tight little space. Ears ringing, body singing, skin tingling, muscles tensing. He let go of Harry and flung him chest first onto the matress He started to protest before Severus slipped inot him possesive, laying over his body legs wide over his hips and feet hooked about his thighs. Pummeling him into the matress arse bumping, grinding into him. He pinned Harry's arms under his hands and used them to yank himself in further, completely and utterly feral. carrying on harder faster pools of lust dripping into his insides.

Harry cried out but was unable to move as Severus body pinned him down to the matresa tightly. He thrashed his hips as much as he could. Bucking and writhing under him. He called out again in a deep and vibrating surrender to pleasure. Then the sensation of everything moving around him. Of walls clamping around Severus's cock just oushed him over an edge he had been hovering near for quite some time. Hecame crying harrys name in a bitten out snarl.

He awoke to Harry laying across his chest. How he got there, he didn't know, but he hummed as the sensation of completion crashed over his body and slipped back into sleep. Holding him tightly and secure in where he was and that he was safe.

To say the next few days were domesticated, almost to the point of being an old married couple, was Severus mused, an understatement. Old married and horny couple. They fucked at every oportunity. There was also the routine of Harry coming in with breakfast floating behind him in the morning. Of there morning shower after and the feel of Harry's fingers massaging his scalp whilst washing his hair. Of Severus bringing him lunch as Harry worked at the desk. Ron and Hermione appearing before the dinner hour and them teasing at a dificupt assignment with a few hints from Severus to help them along the way. Of sessions and patrols after dinner and the sitting and reading together before slipping into the sheets and thumbing most of the night away. To cries of harder and faster and please.

Harry left early on the saturday with many kisses snd reasurances that he would be back in just a few hours. By the time Harry stepped through their door Severus was securing his cufflinks onto his shirt and allowed Harry to place his robes up on his arms and deftly let his fingers fasten them before running a rhumb over the green eyed embrodery.

" We are meeting the others at the anter room. We should get going." Harry murmured up to him, but his face showed he would rather tumble Severus onto the bed. There morning session very rarely satted Harry completely. with sighs they left their quarters and walkwd to meet their friends. Severus really did feel that a few of them at least could be considered as such now. He was surprised by the throng of gryfindors before him. Popoy gave him a nervous wave at the back. He cast his eyes over to Harry.

"I told Malfoy to meet us here with the Slytherins, but he sneered and said mother knows how to get there." He did a very passable impression of Draco then. " I didn't tell him there was anofher way onto the property. He can have fun pushing through that stinky hedge. " He beamed up at Severus. Who rolled his eyes but then maybe it was fitting considering what Malfoy was like.

They led the group to the edge of the wards and then they stood in a line as Harry aparated them by the tree in the field at the back of the house.

"It's beautiful, Harry." Hermione said after a minute of arriving. The rest all stood around, admiring the view from the hill the little field was situated on. Severus agreed but only had eyes for his little brat of a partner. aAfew voices could be heard awing but very quietly. Like they were unsure how it would be recieved. Eventually, he looked about himself and noted the little tables set up and blankets on the floor for people to sit on. The cheap booze flowed even though it was only 12. As people helped themselves to all kinds of food.

Harry took his friends in a little groups to take tours of the house and grounds. Neville himslef and Lana came back and were discussing the gardens in a heated debate. Poppy slunk over to him

"It's good to see you so happy, Sev.' She said in her normal clipped tone. " Show me the house."

So they walked into the house and even though it had been a few weeks since he had been there, the signs of Harry's work was obvious in each room. The library had boxes stacked within it just waiting to be opened and books set on highly polished shelves. The sun room had yellow and grey wallpaper with birds. Chaffinches Severus guessed, flitting from onee tree branch to another. He looked about his new home in wonder with poppy as they spoke quietly of the house and plans for the future and all Severus's hopes and dreams.

When he came back out, the Slytherins had joined them. He was glad he wasn't there when they arrived. They still looked a little disgruntled at the hedge and sat separate from everyone else. Blaise was the first to cross over to enemy territory and join the discussion of the gardens with Harry and Neville. Slowly, things started to intermingle, as everyone got slightly drunker and drunker.

By the evening, the fairy lights that Harry had placed on the tree were twinkling. Music was blaring, Slytherins and Gryfindors and Hufflepuffs danced under the moonlight and Severus found Harry standing by the far fence gazing at the vastness of uninterrupted stars.

"It's so beautiful." Harry whispered to him once Severus had wrapped his arms around his chest and pulled his back close to him.

"Hmm. Our life here is going to be just as beautiful." Severus answered. They looked up at their friends and then looked back up even fuether into the night sky.

Peace surounded them.
