Down In Flames
*
A knock at his office door alerted Severus of one of two possibilities. First, it could mean that one of his fellow staff members forgot the existence of the Floo network. Or second, there was a student out of bed past curfew either bold enough or more likely stupid enough to seek his guidance at such a late, or more appropriately, early hour as it was nearing one in the morning. It was most likely the latter as no one but students usually dared to darken his doorstep at any point, day or night, and they would have to be stupid to darken it at this hour.
Though he had been expecting a student, the haphazard appearance of one Harry James Potter, bane of Severus Snape�s existence and Satan spawn of his now deceased nemesis and rival James Potter, was an unexpected student to see. In the flickering candle light, Harry couldn�t have looked more different tonight with red-rimmed eyes that had dark circles around them, a scabbed over cut along his delicate cheek bone and his Cupid�s bow lips bitten and abused between his teeth. He looked nothing like the image of James Potter that Severus had always seen before him. Instead, he looked haunted and vulnerable � like he needed to be saved from drowning in his pain.
It had been two days since the incident with Harry�s self-proclaimed �army� storming the Ministry of Magic, searching for one Sirius Black that was supposedly being tortured by Voldemort. Everyone on their side had gotten away with scratches and cuts like the one Harry sported on his left cheek except Sirius, who went through the veil and perished. The boy likely was going through a lot of inner turmoil which made Severus come to the mental question again of why Harry Potter was here at 12:54 AM at his door.
The boy simply ducked his head and walked quickly past Severus into his office and threw himself into a chair before the Potion Master�s desk. Any other time he had been in here Harry had dreading being told to take a seat so close the slimy git but now he needed to be right there in that uncomfortable chair before the worn wooden desk.
�Care to explain your presence here, Potter? It looks like I�m going to have to give you detention for being out past curfew. Maybe scrubbing cauldrons for four hours will remind you you�re not above the rules of this institution,� Severus said in a slow, cutting tone.
Harry was staring off absently and started a slow nod. �I don�t care what you need me to do � I�ll do it. Just please don�t let me... get me. All I can see when I close my eyes is Sirius falling through the veil and me sending the Cruciatus at that deranged murderer of a woman. I keep thinking about how everyone who uses those spells is scum and they die but not me.� Harry seemed on the edge of breaking down, with his voice catching while he spoke. �I keep telling myself I should die and people like me shouldn�t be around. I mean, it was my fault that Sirius died.�
Tears formed streams down Harry�s face as he looked down at the floor. �I couldn�t sleep, so I came here. Everyone treats me now like I�m made of glass and like they might break me with a single word or touch. But you, you�re always the same. I don�t want everyone to tiptoe around me but no matter what I say, they refuse and tell me I need to heal. Maybe I am made of glass, and maybe I want to be broken. I just feel like I need something that hurts more than losing Sirius to survive.�
Severus watched Harry carefully, understanding why the boy was there. �And why should I help you?�
Harry let out a mirthless, dead laugh and continued, �Because I figured �Snape tears me apart, maybe he could do a better job in his spare time without a class full of witnesses�.�
�You want me to punish you for crimes you may or may not have committed? Do you honestly know what you�re signing yourself up for?� Surely the boy wasn�t completely serious.
�I want you to bend me until I break by any means necessary. Any means,� he spoke in a serious tone.
�That�s a dangerous demand,� Severus cautioned.
�There is no line so to speak. I trust you because you�ve been the only constant in my life so far that I like.� Harry muttered something inaudible that sounded like �Vernon�s beatings�.
The older man paused for a moment. He examined his student while he thought hard. �For this to work we�d be required to see each other more than once or twice a week. Would you be willing to sign on with whatever I may think up to accomplish this �breaking� as you call it?�
�Yes!� The boy sounded desperate, �Just please help me. There�s no one else I could ask. This is my second to last option.�
�And your last would be?� Severus couldn�t help his curiosity.
�Suicide,� Harry said without hesitation or even a bat of an eye. �You�re my last option for survival, Professor. I can�t live with myself. I feel like I don�t have purpose; just pain and it�s all my fault. Please help me. This isn�t some sick joke between me and Ron, I swear on my life.�
The professor paced a bit and replied, �If you�re serious about this, return in two nights just before curfew. We shall make an accord and a plan then.�
**
Harry came an hour before curfew to prevent being sent back to his tower by any patrolling teachers or prefects on the day two days after Harry�s outcry for help from Severus. He hoped the man had an idea and would agree because the thought of what may become of their arrangement was the only thing stopping him for testing how easily his silver potions knife would cut the delicate skin on his wrists.
He hastened down to the dungeons, careful not to be seen by the few Slytherins that were returning to their layer before curfew so as not to anger their Head of House. He rapped lightly on the door to Severus� office, knowing the man would hear him and was not wrong when the dour professor swung open the door for him to enter wordlessly.
The two were silent as Harry took a seat in the chair where he had two nights ago and waited for the Potions Master to take a seat. Once he did, he began, �So it is safe to assume you still want this?� At Harry�s nod, Severus continued, �Very well then. There are only three ways that could ensure we would be able to see one another enough for this to work without hitting any or at least the fewest legal snags possible and without doing anything too permanent, should you be thoroughly satisfied with our progress at any point in your breaking and wish to stop our arrangement.
�The first would be an apprenticeship � you would be bound though for a minimum of two years and after you would qualify for a potions mastery exam. After that period of time, you would be finished school and could remain if you felt you weren�t finished with our arrangement. The second would be signing over guardianship to me until you reach legal age. I would hold control over all your assets like the bank does now as I am a wizard, unlike your aunt and uncle and unfortunately some forms of breaking would be illegal and inappropriate at that point.�
�You mean sex,� Harry cut in with a slight grin growing.
�To be blunt, yes, but not sex per se. Things of sexual matters would be included as illegal in such a situation and if found out about, I could be charged and thrown in Azkaban for child abuse and molestation even if you consented to it because you are a minor. That�s why if you really aren�t going to draw a line that I can�t cross as your discipliner then temporary guardianship isn�t the right choice,� he explained.
Harry smirked, �Then you won�t be becoming my temporary guardian. I don�t want a line.�
�Hold on a moment, Potter, I haven�t told you your last option.� Harry motioned for Severus to continue and Severus went on, �The last way is so outdated that even very few purebloods use it anymore. The last is a Dominant/Submissive contract would be made and signed with me as your dominant partner in the relationship and it is filed privately with the ministry. I would again gain responsibility over all your assets and I would be responsible for everything to do with you. In this case, you would be required to live with me and there would be a contract stating that one or both of us could decide at any time to dissolve the contract and everything would revert to its previous owner like homes and bank vaults.
�Theoretically, if we did this and you decided to dissolve the contract after four months, you would revert to living under your aunt and uncle�s guardianship, which would be nullified by the contract while it is in place, and you would return to living in Gryffindor tower. The contract can be made to state a specific safe word to be used at any time should your treatment be too much to handle.� Severus expected Harry to maybe object about the possibility of living with him or something mundane but the boy was simply nodding.
�I get to choose?� he asked his professor.
Severus nodded as well. �It�ll be one of the last few you make before I take the reins.�
�I want to make a contract. I wouldn�t survive as your apprentice and I need for you to have control and no boundaries.�
�When would you like to start?�
�Now.�
***
�Do you still want to attend normal lessons? It may interfere with your breaking. I could tutor you along with other professors so that you aren�t required in classes. You may still have meal times with your friends or pick one or two classes to attend regularly. The rest you will be tutored in during the year including summer so that you can be properly prepared for NEWTs at the end of seventh year. What would you like to do?�
�I just want to attend Transfiguration and Charms. Who could teach me Defence Against the Dark Arts and Potions better than you? It�ll give you more time to string me up by my wrists during the day than if I have a lot of classes or if you have to teach them all to me.�
With that Severus smirked, �Be careful or you may find yourself in such a position.� Honestly speaking, Severus could imagine his future submissive in many positions, all risqu� and inappropriate. Since Harry had approached Severus on that first night looking like Hell warmed up he had been hoping Harry would agree to be his submissive. Such things were rare in these days but still happened. Being a submissive was not considered low, but more often considered a brave thing to do.

Harry smirked back as if to say, �I look forward to it.�

�Does the class arrangement need to go in the contract?�

�No, but I need to know because it will be my responsibility to know once this is signed and sent off to the Private Records Office at the ministry. Everything that is yours will be mine.�
�And everything that is yours won�t be mine,� he added cheekily.

�Another thing,� Severus continued, �is that the staff would be required to know about our situation. As you would be living with a person on the school�s faculty payroll and also since you are still a student, the other teachers are required to know in case of an emergency or for disciplinary measures. No other teacher will be able to give you detention unless I okay it. Alright?�

�Got it. Would I be required to call you Master?�

Choking down a laugh, Severus answered, �Maybe. Do you want to?�

Ever the cheeky little one Harry replied with a coy, �Maybe.� The response sounded like flirting if Severus had ever heard it.

�The contract is short and sweet and to the point. One or both of us can dissolve the contract at any point, you will have an established safe word and anything else we discussed is as we decided. Simply look it over and once you�re ready, sign it. But remember that it is legal and binding.� Severus held out the paper and levitated the quill and ink well over to where Harry sat on the edge of his seat on the other side of Severus� desk.

Harry scribbled his name on the contract without a cautionary glance at the page. He gave it back to Severus to sign, which he did. The scroll of parchment began to glow golden before it disappeared with a quiet snap. �That means that it worked and you are now my submissive.�

�What do we do now?� Harry asked since he didn�t feel any different. He looked around and nothing had happened since the scroll had been signed. Everything in the room was the same.

Severus smirked, �We start slow. There are only three more days left in the school term, after which you shall be moving in with me. Right now, however, you are going to go upstairs and go to bed. Tomorrow you will report here to my office at seven o�clock sharp in the morning and you will await further instruction. If someone asks you where you are going in the morning, you will not tell them you are at detention or any other ludicrous excuse but say you have to go. Any deviation from this will garner punishment. Do you understand?�

Harry only nodded and left without another word.
****
The next morning found Harry looking still worse for wear but there was a small glint in his eyes that held obvious anticipation. Severus moved a step back from the door to allow the young Gryffindor inside the room and closed the door before retreating to his desk. Harry stood at the entrance to the room, uncertain of what would happen.
�Did you vary from my instructions at all?�
Severus� voice was silky and low; such a hypnotic mixture. If the man had anything attractive at all about him, it was his voice. The next most sensual thing about Severus Snape was his long, elegant fingers. Said fingers were beckoning him closer. Harry followed his directions until he was around the desk and before the man. �Come here, Harry,� he motioned for Harry to take a seat on his lap and the man repeated his question, �Did you vary from my instructions at all?�
�I told Ron I had detention because he kept looking at me suspiciously when I just kept saying I was visiting a friend.� Harry didn�t look then man in the eye as he spilled his story of his infraction. �Are you going to punish me?�

�Yes.� With that Harry was ordered to kneel in the far corner of the room and take off his robes and t-shirt with his head facing the wall. Severus came up behind him and placed a blindfold over Harry�s eyes. �You will kneel here for as long as I say or face the consequences. You shall clasp your hands together behind your back and stay there for as long as I deem necessary. You will not talk at all.�

Severus made his way back to his chair and sat and took up a novel to start reading. He sat and read in silence for a little over an hour when he heard a whimpering in the corner. The whimpering became a full-out cry when Harry was ignored and left in darkness and silence for another ten minutes.

�Prof... Severus. I can�t take it any longer. Please help me out of this thing. Too much darkness � please!� he pleaded.

Severus returned to the corner and picked up a half-bare Harry and took him to his desk where he left the boy, blindfolded at Severus� feet. The boy quieted and moved closer to Severus� legs, clutching the fabric of his dominant�s cloak in his palms. It made him feel like he was still alone in the darkness but being by the Potions Master made him remember that Severus was there for him. There was no one else around except for Severus.

Oddly, the thought contented him instead of repulsed. And he was okay with that. He was very okay with that.

After another hour, Severus closed his book and stood up. He lifted the small fifteen-year-old and walked through a series of doorways before setting Harry down on something soft and smooth to the touch. Severus took the blindfold off of Harry�s green eyes and was silently thanked with a hug. It was an unexpected reaction to Severus� punishment.

Severus stood and walked away into was seemed to be a bathroom and came back with a small tin jar. He rolled up Harry�s pants and applied some salve before Harry stopped him. �No, I want to keep them,� he protested.
�The bruises on your knees need to be healed with salve. I promise to let you keep some marks from punishment at a later time but you will not be in physical pain for days because of it. I won�t allow it.� Severus slapped Harry�s hands away and he continued to gently caress the bruised skin on Harry�s knees.
�Do I have to wait for you to initiate things?�
Severus was taken by surprise by this. �What are you speaking about?�

Harry leaned across the gap between him and the Potions Master and captured his soft lips that the boy had been staring at. Severus began to reciprocate for a moment before pulling away. It was then that Harry decided he like Severus kissing him more than the way his voice sounded. He was also way better at it than the likes of Cho Chang. �I�m not really sure how long I�ve wanted to do that.�
Maybe he was just vulnerable after Sirius� death, maybe he was just sleep deprived, maybe he was going insane or maybe, just maybe, Harry had kissed Severus because it was what he had truly wanted to do for a while now. Too many things happening at once created mixed results and right now, the result was Harry feeling like he had finally found something to hold on to that would stop him from being pulled away by a current of despair. Severus was like that odd branch hanging out over a river right before a waterfall that was his last chance to grab before he took a downward spiral into the unknown and Harry would hold tightly to it.
The punishment had seemed odd and pointless until he had lost track of time and had no way of looking around to see if Severus, ever the quiet one, was still there. The darkness had been encompassing and he had relived Sirius falling through the veil and the Cruciatus he had sent at Bellatrix. The vision he had seen of Sirius being tortured played through his mind as well. He knew he couldn�t move from the spot or else he would face further punishment.
So instead of moving or scrabbling to get the blindfold off, Harry had tried to tough it out. It had resulted in the meltdown and Severus� steps coming closer to him. He was glad he wasn�t alone but he thought he might get a beating for speaking out. Instead, Harry was lifted into strong arms and carried across the room to where he would have guessed the desk was and was situated on the floor once again. He had gone from rushing down the river, sucked under by the undertow to having a hold on something real � Severus.
*****
Harry was sent back to his dorm for the rest of the day to be with his friends and Hermione was the first to come across him. He looked like he had a tiny spark of life in his eyes that hadn�t been there the previous few days since Sirius� incident and Hermione, ever the observant one of the trio, noticed immediately. �Where have you been? Ron said some drivel about you visiting a friend or having detention and we looked everywhere for you. What happened?� Hermione�s tone changed, �You look different � better; much better.�
�I was busy.� Turning on his heal, the Boy Who Lived strode off up the stairs to meditate on his feelings and thoughts for a while.
Meanwhile, Severus was in the Headmaster�s office to explain the new development between himself and Harry. �Harry approached me three nights ago at close to one in the morning looking all levels of hell and begging me for help. I couldn�t imagine why he wouldn�t be going to you or the wolf but in any case he explained that he felt I was his last option � or second to last.�
Being an intrigued, or more precisely, nosy headmaster, Albus Dumbledore inquired, �And his last option would�ve been worse than whatever you have done?�
�Instead of an end of the year feast, you would be organizing a funeral. Is that plain enough, Albus?� The young Potions Master sat back in his chair and pinched the bridge of his nose with his left hand. �Listen. He came to me for help like many students before him and I wanted to help him. I know for a fact that if I had suggested any kind of counselling or healing he would�ve gone straight for option number two. Instead, I offered him what he wanted in a way that could be easy on both of us.�
�I am curious, Severus. What on earth did he want?�
�That is private. I don�t disclose the problems any other students may have and so I think it would be wrong to do so with Mr. Potter. In any case, I simply came here to let you know he will be under my care until further notice.�
Albus looked mystified. �Did you adopt the boy? Severus, m� boy, I had no idea that you wanted children. I might have suggested a few places to look for magical orphans to adopt.�
�I did no such thing, Albus,� was the annoyed reply.
Yet another crease worked its way onto Dumbledore�s forehead during this time of confusion, �Then pray tell, m� boy, for I haven�t received any apprenticeship forms. I wouldn�t peg Harry for taking much interest in Potions anyways.�
�I gave him three options, though there were about five or six possibilities � Apprenticeship, Temporary Guardianship or a Dominant/Submissive contract, thinking he would go for me being his temporary guardian. Of course, he could�ve gone with emancipation or marriage if the situation had been right but I put no such ideas in his mind for both were decisions that couldn�t be undone.�
�He chose the submissive role, I would guess,� Albus pondered out loud. �Will he be attending classes regularly?�
�He wants to take Transfiguration and Charms from Minerva and Fillius but his attendance will be situation dependent. He will keep up with the work in those classes and will exceed the curriculum speed in Defence and Potions with me. I won�t let his education suffer but his attendance may, situation permitting. Are we amenable to this arrangement?� Snape asked, already having an air of finality in his voice.
Albus nodded and muttered something about conversing with Minerva and Fillius about this anomaly. Severus excused himself and found himself in his dungeons planning the breaking of Harry Potter.
*****
The next week had welcomed change in Harry�s life when his friends left for the summer without him and he moved into the dungeons with Severus. Every day, Harry would defy Severus� instructions whether intentionally or accidentally and he had been put in the corner. Every day a different addition was made to his punishment. The first day after the initial punishment, his wrists were shackled tightly in metal cuffs. Then came the loss of his pants, a ball gag, a spreader bar attached to his knees and a nipple clip for one and then both nipples the day after.
Slowly, after each day of punishment, Harry would tough it out for a while but it always ended with Severus picking him up and caressing his abused skin. Once the blindfold was off, his punishment was over. He was forced to literally go through mental hell then blindly trust Severus to be kind and caring.
Then there was the fact that Harry didn�t fully understand that he belonged to Severus. Severus decided to change that. He had noticed that during his caressing, Harry would give a purr of happiness or a groan of pleasure when his nipples were touched. It gave Severus an idea.
The following week, he brought Harry to a nearby town where they wouldn�t be recognised, dressed in muggle clothing. He led Harry down a side street and stopped at a tattoo parlour, drawing Harry inside. �I�m looking for Trey. My friend here needs some... decorations,� he spoke to the guy at the front desk adorned with tattoos.
�He�s in the back, Snape. He�s prepping for it.� The man said, waving behind him unconcerned.
�Let�s go,� the professor said, pulling Harry behind him again. They entered a room with a large man seated on a black round stool sitting before a large black chair.
�So this is the little truffle I�ve heard about? Nice catch Snape,� he commented. Turning to Harry, he instructed him to lie down on the chair.
�Take off your shirt, Harry.� Harry gawked at Severus. He wasn�t getting a tattoo! �I�m not going to force you to get a tattoo, now take off your shirt. You�re just going to get two piercings,� he attempted to console.
Harry looked horrified. �Where?� He stuttered.
Severus came up to where his head was on the chair and whispered in his ear, �Those sensitive little bundles of nerves on your chest that make you groan when I touch them.� Harry�s eyes were wide with curiosity.
�Is it going to hurt?�
�Just a pinch. It�s like getting a needle, only you end up with a piercing instead of a vaccination,� threw in the guy named Trey. He held a marker in his hand and proceeded to mark both sides of each of Harry�s nipples. He looked up to Severus who nodded and he pulled out the sterilized needle. Harry let out a cry and his face screwed up in pain as the needle went through the tender flesh and the ring with it. Trey tightened the ball to close the gap in the ring and turned to the other side with a new needle and ring. The same happened except with the addition of a few tears sliding down Harry�s cheek. Trey closed the second ring and Severus asked him if the two could have a minute.
Once the door closed behind Trey, Harry began to sit up from the chair and opened his arms to Severus for a hug. �I�m sorry that I cried. They really ache now,� he added in a whisper. �What if I hadn�t allowed you to pierce me?�
�That�s the point though,� Severus explained. �You now belong to me. If I say jump, you ask �how high, master?� then jump. If I tell you to do something, you do it without question. Got it?�
Harry feebly nodded, not meeting Severus� eyes. �I�m talking to you. Look at me and answer me.�
�Yes Master,� he stuttered with watery eyes, looking like he was about to cry.

�Good.� The Potions Master stood and led his submissive out to the front room after the boy had put his shirt on again. He paid the tattooed man and they left, walking down the back alley and disapperating to Hogwarts.
At the gates, Severus pushed Harry against the stone pillar to the left of the gates. �Lift your head to the side,� he instructed. The long and lithe fingers that the professor possessed crept up the side of Harry`s shirt, slipping underneath and sliding along the toned abs and ribs of his torso before almost touching his sore and newly pierced nipple. �If I wanted to take you right here, right now, what would you say?�
Severus pinched the sore nub and Harry cried out in pain and pleasure. �Would you refuse me, Harry?�
�Sir, we�re outside. Someone could see us,� Harry reasoned in a panicked voice. He was still a virgin. Surely the professor wouldn�t take him against a mouldy old stone pillar for his first time.
�I know where we are quite well. But I am your master and should I choose to take you in this very moment,� he spoke in a stern voice against Harry�s neck and his smooth cheek caressed the velvet skin while his voice lulled Harry�s eardrums,� I will.� Harry could feel his heart racing as his nipple was still being rubbed and tugged in a specific way that elicited groans he didn�t know he could make. Severus� breath was hot on his neck. Severus sucked on the skin of the submissive boy, marking his neck for all to see.
He asked the boy once more, �Would you refuse me, Harry?�
�How do you want me, Master?� the boy gave in, stifling a moan of pleasure.
Severus stepped away from Harry and opened the gates with a touch of his wand to the gates and a muttered password. Harry was confused at his abrupt dismissal, thinking he did something wrong and followed the professor to the dungeons. When they arrived back to their quarters, Severus went into his room for a few minutes to freshen up. When he returned, Harry was kneeling before the fireplace in his boxers, in position for punishment to be carried out.
�And what have you done to feel like you deserve punishment?� Severus asked.
Harry looked up from the floor with a shocked expression. �I thought I said or did something wrong because of how you walked away. I thought that maybe you had given up on me or thought I had displayed myself like a cheap whore. I�m sorry to have displeased you and thought you might wish to punish me.�
Severus pulled him by the arm and over to the leather chair that Severus was so fond of. He sat across Severus� lap with the back of his head situated in the crook of Severus� neck. The pink mark Severus had left on Harry�s neck stared at him and Severus kissed his work of art. �If I want to take you like a cheap whore, then I will, but it does not make you one. It makes you an obedient submissive. Such acts with others while under my care that I have not ordered might mean that but with me, you are mine and I care for you. Do you think I would care for a whore, Harry?�
�No, Master,� was the whispered reply. �I care for you too, Master.�
****
The weeks had progressed with little to no rebellion from Harry since his piercings. Harry�s whole demeanour had changed from suicidal to begging and vying for Severus� attention. He could be seen from time to time soaring over the Quidditch stadium and his attention would often flick to the stands where Severus sat watching or reading a book, depending on the man�s mood. The boy walked around the castle every now and again on his own but didn�t venture out for very long, chatting with a ghost for a bit here and there but otherwise, the boy was attached to Severus.
Albus saw the two of them sometimes during meals and saw the new light in Harry�s eyes whenever someone mentioned Severus. Harry and Severus mirrored and counteracted each other in a way that was like body language poetry. If Harry was stressed, Severus placed a hand on Harry�s leg the placate him. If Severus was irritable, Harry clasped his hand with Severus� and brushed his hair back from his neck where there was constantly a purple-tinged red mark. The action made Severus settle and give the beginnings of a grin.
The problem lay not with their relationship, but with Harry�s friends. They knew that Harry was at the castle for the summer but not what he was doing there. Harry wrote vague letters and only every so often. Ron and Hermione and even Mrs Weasley were becoming concerned for their beloved Harry.
Albus had acted as a go-between and had arranged for Harry to spend the night with the Weasley family on his birthday so the family plus Hermione could throw him a birthday party. Severus agreed that it was a good idea for Harry to interact with his friends and have a change in scenery. With that, Harry was apparated by Severus. The man walked Harry to the gate and was wished goodbye with a hug and a few tears on Harry�s part. It would be the first night away from his dominant and he had mixed feelings of excitement and dread. Severus assured he would be okay with a hand on his hip, thumb massaging the skin there.
�I�m a floo call away if you need me,� Severus said in his low, velvety voice. Harry nodded into his shoulder and let go of the man he had become so dependant of. �I�ll be here at eight-thirty to collect you and I expect you to be out here and prompt. Alright?� The instructions were said in a stern voice but Severus reverted to his soft and velvet voice to ask for confirmation of his instructions.
Harry nodded, �I may be out here by eight,� he teased as Severus let him go and wiped away the remnants of Harry�s tears.
�Behave yourself and I�ll see you tomorrow,� the man said before he took a few steps back and disapperated.
Harry frowned a bit and turned around, going through the gate. He spotted Mrs Weasley and Ginny in the window. Molly rushed to open the door and hugged Harry tightly. �Happy early birthday, Harry. You look much better and you look like the elves have been feeding you well.�
He simply nodded, �Yes they have.� Severus sometimes cooked dinner as well and those were the dinners that Harry cherished the most. Severus was a good a chef as he was a Potions Master. The trait carried over from the lab to the kitchen and it was greatly appreciated by Harry � a person who hadn�t been allowed to eat often in his early years. Harry just let Molly assume it was all due to the elves. Things between him and his Master stayed between him and his Master.
Ron and Hermione both hugged him followed by Fred and George and Ginny. After exchanging pleasantries, Ron and Hermione dragged Harry away to Ron�s room for some catching up.
�So where have you been hiding? And why did you hug Snape? Lose a bet with the Headmaster?� Ron joked and Harry shrugged.
Then Hermione observed him closely, �Why do you have a hicky, Harry?� She pulled at the collar of his shirt and he pushed her hands away. �Your wrists have red rings around them too. Harry, what�s going on?�
�Nothing, you guys are over reacting.�
�So there is something going on. Who is she and when did you meet her?� Ron asked with a silly grin on his face and a raised eyebrow.
�There�s no girl in my life okay? I�ve been staying in the castle for the past month trying to get past Sirius� death. Stop trying to pry into my life � you wouldn�t understand,� Harry pulled away and sat on the cot that was set up in Ron�s room.
�Does Professor Snape have anything to do with this, Harry?� Hermione asked.
�Leave him out of this,� Harry defended, eyes blazing. �You wouldn�t understand, Hermione.�
Hermione sat down beside him, �Then make me understand. I�ve been worried if you�ve been okay for weeks now. I�ve respected your privacy but please just tell me something because I need to understand. I need to know that you�re okay.�
Harry looked down. �Severus is helping me. He�s taking care of me and keeping me together. It doesn�t hurt as much when he�s around and sometimes I even forget. It doesn�t mean that what happened at the ministry didn�t happen but its making life afterwards better than it should be; a lot better.�
No one spoke for a while, thinking different things when Ron broke the silence, �Wanna play a round of Quidditch?� Harry nodded and they all went in search of Ron�s other siblings to play. Their brothers Charlie and Bill were home for the next three weeks visiting and they decided to rotate off every other game to make even teams with Ron, Harry, the twins and Ginny playing. Everything was alright for the time being.

Later that night, everyone was settling in for the night and Harry and Ron were in Ron�s room preparing for bed. Harry was day dreaming about what Severus was doing right then. He could imagine the man sipping brandy in a tumbler before the fire or perhaps in the same spot doing a bit of reading. His thoughts went to the previous night�s activities involving a lot of leather and a certain black riding crop that gave the perfect combination of pain and pleasure while in Severus� hands.
Harry pulled off his shirt and Ron sucked in a breath audibly. Harry spun around to see his friend�s jaw drop more at the sight of his nipple rings. �What is Snape doing to you? There are red marks across your back and what are those! You didn�t have those � things � when school was in!� Ron came closer and Harry shuffled away.
�Stop Ron! Get a grip! I�ve changed a bit; no need to alert the whole house.� Harry scrambled to put his shirt back on, suddenly feeling self-conscience.
Ron shook his head, �No, no, no... Changing doesn�t imply being beat! He hurt you and you�re defending him! He�s worse than those muggles. Can�t you see what he�s doing to you?�
�I asked for it, Ron.�
�What did you do? Sneeze? Chew your food wrong? Breathe?�
�I asked him to do it. I asked Severus to hit me, okay. It�s not like he was beating me either. That�s not how it works. You just don�t understand.� Harry bolted for the door, �I need to get out of here.�
***
Severus was sipping his fire whiskey before the hearth, stewing over the loss of his dearest bespectacled submissive. In the past month, though Severus had loath to admit it, he had become attached to Harry�s presence.
He had been attempting to read but then his thoughts had wandered to thoughts of the previous night and Harry�s introduction to crops, whips and floggers. Harry had been suited in leather underwear and chaps with chains attached to his rings on his chest to provide stimulation. He had Harry begging for more hits from the crop and had wanted to switch to a more powerful and dangerous whip. The boy had scoffed at the thought of a safe word and the words �spiral staircase� hadn�t flowed from his lips. They had stopped for the night but Harry had stopped him from healing the bruises from the crop.
Severus thought of using one of the other whips he had recently purchased but he wasn�t sure he wanted to inflict that much pain without comfort or pleasure also within the relationship. He had been pondering solutions to this problem and was thinking of inviting Harry into his bed sometime soon to release some sexual tension between the two of them that had been heavily building within the last two and a half weeks.
During his musings the Floo flared green and Harry tumbled out, disoriented and anxious. Severus put his drink down and went to Harry, hauling him to his feet and checking him for any damage in his tumble. �You nearly gave me a heart attack flying out of the fire grate like that. Are you alright, love?�
Harry gulped loudly and nodded to Severus, enveloping the man in a hug. �Ron didn�t understand and I couldn�t be there. I needed you because you understand. You make sense now and nothing else does.� Harry nuzzled his face into the warm crook of Severus� neck and kissed the skin that had the tiniest bit of stubble there. He kissed again slowly, going up his Master�s neck placing small warm kisses. He found himself finally at his Master�s lips � a place he hadn�t kissed since the beginning of this whole arrangement a month or so ago.
Severus leaned forward and was received enthusiastically by Harry, their lips moving together and tongues meeting in a kiss. They continued for a few moments when Severus pulled at Harry�s thighs and the boy responded with wrapping his legs around Severus� waist. Severus was pleased, very pleased.
He walked himself and Harry into his bedroom and set Harry down on the bed before climbing on overtop of him. Harry pulled him in for another kiss and grinded himself against Severus� leg. Harry begged when the kiss was broke, �Please Sev, make love to me.�
Severus stopped for a moment and all thoughts cleared from his mind, �Do you know what you are giving away by asking that?�

�My love, my body, my virginity, my soul... Take it, Sev, I don�t want it without you. You were my last hope. Now you�re my only hope. I hope to be with you all the time for a long time. Please Sev?� Harry had sat up to be face-to-face with his professor-turn-master and ran his smaller hand through Severus� silky black hair. �Please? It�s what I want for my birthday.�
�Okay,� the older man agreed. Harry made quick work of Severus� buttons and tie before throwing them both across the room away from the bed. Together they pulled off Harry�s shirt and started fumbling with belts and zippers. In no time Severus was removing the last of their clothing, ridding himself of his boxers and joining Harry on the bed. �Are you sure you want this? Once you give away your virginity it can�t be undone.�
�I know, I want it to be you that takes it. I want to know what it feels like to make love with someone.�
�Tell me if I hurt you at all, otherwise I�ll never do this again.� At Harry�s nod he continued, �I need to stretch you first so that you�ll be prepared for me. It will hurt a bit.�
Severus placed a pillow under Harry�s hips to elevate them and readied himself with the jar of lubrication. He pushed Harry�s toned, creamy thighs apart and one lube-covered finger entered Harry�s tight virgin hole. He pushed in and out a bit getting Harry acclimated to the feeling of being entered. He pulled out an entered a second finger, scissoring his fingers to stretch the muscle. Harry winced a bit saying it didn�t hurt yet. Severus plunged in three fingers and Harry let out a surprised yelp. Severus continued thrusting his fingers and he hit the bundle of nerves he had been looking for.
Harry moaned as the fourth finger went in and his prostate was stimulated again. Severus pulled out his fingers and applied lube to his now hot and hard member. �Are you sure Harry?�
�Yes! Fuck me Sev!� he cried in frustration of being empty again.
Severus slowly eased himself into Harry, who commented about Severus being too big and splitting him in two. Finally, Severus was fully sheathed and waited a minute for Harry to adjust. Then Severus started a slow rhythm, finally finding Harry�s prostate and hitting it with each inward thrust. He kissed Harry�s chest, nipping and sucking lovingly at his nipple rings. He took Harry�s swelled erection in his hand and Harry bucked into his hand.
�Harder, Sev. Faster.� Harry moaned out the words and Severus did as encouraged. �I�m almost... Sev I�m almost there,� he panted through cries of ecstasy.
Severus relished in the vocal response Harry gave and pulled at a pierced nipple and squeezed Harry�s erection at the same time. Harry came, spurting his seed between the two and Severus was about to pull out when Harry stopped him, �Inside of me please. Let me feel your cum fill me.�
Severus knew this was a tad risky but one time wouldn�t hurt. There was such a thing as male pregnancy and it only happened in cases of strong wizards and couples with love between them. Maybe it wasn�t devoted loving domesticity betwixt himself and Harry, but if he really was honest with himself, Severus could admit that he cared a lot for Harry. It was also risky because in addition to them caring for each other, Harry was a very strong wizard and in peak condition for fertility due to his young age.
As Severus came down from his high, he pulled Harry in close to him and peppered his shoulder with kisses. A glance at the clock in the corner showed that it was nearing twelve-ten in the morning and it was now Harry�s birthday. �Happy birthday Harry-love,� Severus whispered as Harry turned his head to look at Severus over his shoulder. They kissed gently and Harry smiled.
�Thank you Sev � for everything.�
**
�Did you ever learn about pregnancies in those health seminars that you had with Madame Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall?� Severus asked as the two were lying in bed the next morning.
Harry nodded, �Use contraceptive potions and spells, they�re not guaranteed to work 100% of the time, abstinence is the key... I�ve heard it all. That doesn�t really apply to us though, does it?�
�Yes, it does. I�m sure you didn�t learn about male pregnancy because only a few boys in each year are actually gay and even amongst them, they wouldn�t be powerful enough to get pregnant on their own without the aid of potions. You, however, are a very powerful wizard which was why I was going to pull out before my orgasm. If we have sex again then we will have to use contraceptives to be on the safe side. You need to finish school,� Snape pushed some hair out of Harry�s green eyes, �I wouldn�t want you to be stuck with such a responsibility before your life has barely begun.�
The teenager smiled and flipped over so he was straddling Severus� equally bare body with his own, �Well, I think you need to show me how these contraceptives work... now.� A devilish grin began to grow on Harry�s face and he rubbed himself against Snape. �It�s my birthday and I want you to show me what I�ve been missing as a naive youth.�
Severus growled low in his throat and switched the positions, �Are you suggesting we christen this entire apartment bit by bit?�
�And your lab and potions classroom and the halls... You can be the big bad teacher and give me detention for being a bad boy. Fuck me over your desk in your office,� Harry was egging him on and making him hard.
Oh the possibilities thought Severus.
*
Harry and Severus had progressed well in Harry�s lessons and he would be well-ahead in Potions and DADA when classes were to start the next day. The opening feast would be in an hour and a half and Severus was just leaving the staff meeting and returning to the dungeons. He entered his classroom to see the delicious sight of Harry, gag in mouth, naked as the day he was born. There was a spreader bar between his legs and he was bent over the professor�s desk with his hands tied in front of him. His leather collar reflected a little light from the candles.
There was a long thick chrome dildo that currently resided in Harry�s ass and at random moments vibrated fiercely against the sixteen-year-olds prostate. The boy�s orgasm was hindered by only his will and his member was swollen and red, ready to release when his master told him to.
Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on if you were Severus or Harry, there was some cum on the floor and dripping down the front of Severus� desk where Harry stood. He had been instructed not to spill his seed while Severus had been gone and now he had to be punished. Severus turned on the vibrator to half of the maximum setting and slapped Harry�s arse cheeks.
�You�ve been bad and disobeyed me. You spilt you precious seed all over my desk. This warrants fifteen lashes with a whip.� Harry moaned at the intense pleasure in his arse and at the idea of getting whipped. Pain was one of his greatest pleasures when it came to Severus dishing it out. His master had specifically given him an impossible task so that he could be whipped then fucked the way he wanted to be.
Severus opened a drawer on the other side of his desk and pulled out a multi-tailed whip made out of leather. He rounded the desk and dangled the whip so that the tips were feather-light on Harry�s smooth skin. �Every time I hit you, you will count it and thank me for punishing you. Failure to do so will increase the punishment by five more strokes. Understand?�
Harry nodded as Severus removed the gag. �Yes Master,� he whispered obediently.
�I want to hear you, slut, none of this whispering. I want everyone in this castle to know that you are being punished you wanton whore.� Severus only called Harry derogatory names when he was punishing him. It didn�t faze either one as it was the equivalent of talking dirty.
The whip cracked against Harry�s pale cheek, making it turn a glorious pink. �One. Thank you Master!� The boy whimpered because the vibrator was coming out a bit. Wanton indeed. The punishment continued until they got to the tenth stroke. Severus decided to up his game and shoved the vibrator in as far as it would go and cranked the level up to the maximum making Harry�s eyes roll back in their sockets from the intense pleasure. Tremors shook Harry�s body and he still managed a shaky, �Fifteen. Thank you Master!�
Harry took in a deep breath as Severus pulled out and turned off the vibrator. He removed the spreader bar and then untied Harry�s wrists. The sixteen-year-old couldn�t stand and so he dropped to the floor. He got up on wobbly knees and presented his red-stained backside to Severus. The man massaged the cheeks and inserted two fingers in Harry�s hole, thrusting them a few times before collecting Harry off the floor and placing him on the desk and pushing the youth by his chest to get him to lie back.
�Sev please,� he whimpered meekly. Now a day there was a distinguished difference between Severus making love to Harry and Master having sex with Harry.
�Harry, you know you didn�t take the potion today,� Severus spoke warningly. �By the looks of down here, you might want to take it easy a bit for tonight and tomorrow.� Harry kept making doe eyes at Severus who let out a deep breath. �I�m going to take you to bed. Do you need anything?�
�More potions.�
The professor shook his head as he banished the mess they had made on the floor before scooping up his precious cargo. �I almost regret taking your virginity. Now you offer yourself up to me like dessert. Not that you aren�t delectable, but I don�t want to cause any damage love. We can�t be at it like rabbits all day long.�
�I don�t want to all day. I want to right now. It doesn�t matter anyways, you still smell of me. How many heads do you think would you turn if you showed up at the feast smelling like sex, Professor?� Harry stuck out his tongue playfully and Severus pulled him close for a kiss.
Severus felt his resolve crumbling and slipping between his fingers like grains of sand. �Fine... shower?�
A small �yes� was exclaimed as the men headed for the en suite bathroom in Severus� room. �Sex in the shower... delicious,� Harry commented as he was set down and the door was closed behind them.
Severus disrobed and sat on the toilet. Harry put his legs over Severus� and he dropped down on Severus� cock. They met with a delicious slap of genitals. Severus bounced Harry on his dick until the boy made Severus come inside him, despite not taking the potion that day, and Harry spurted his orgasm across Severus� chest. It was time for a shower with only an hour left before the feast.
There had been bars installed in the shower for this very event. Harry�s right leg was placed on a higher bar so he was deliciously spread for Severus and his hands went to the bar in front of him. Severus couldn�t help but feel a rush that it was his seed dripping down the teen�s well-sculpted butt, waiting to be filled again.
Severus knew they�d be running late to the feast.
*
The opening feast was grand and spectacular as usual. The candles floated and the dark night sky shone through the ceiling. Harry sat beside Severus at the Head Table and watched from a new vantage point as the students filed in. Harry spotted the two red heads in the crowd and didn�t see anger, but confusion and sympathy. Ron didn�t look angry, though Ginny looked annoyed.
Professor McGonagall finally led in the group of timid first-years to be sorted. Harry and Severus betted on what student would be sorted into what house. The stakes were homework and, of course, sex. Harry won quite often because he could easily pick out the Gryffindors and tell the differences between a �Puff and a �Claw in personalities. Severus, on the other hand was right every time he betted that a student would be sorted into Slytherin. Unfortunately, many times, Harry had agreed and therefore no one won.
Their scoring ended with Harry having no homework for a week, five extra rounds of sex and Severus won two extra rounds of sex. Overall, Harry and Severus believed it was a good turnout. They went to bed that night in a blissful embrace.
The very next morning Severus was awoken by a mouth moving down his stiff morning wood. Harry was deep-throating him � a talent he had picked up after waking Severus this way many times. He started to hum around his mouthful of his favourite lollypop when Severus pulled his hips towards the head of the bed. Severus had positioned them in a sixty-nine when he started rimming Harry.
�I�m going to pound you into this mattress then hang you up to dry.� Severus wasn�t exaggerating. He had just strung up his suspension ropes and chains two days before and planned on strapping Harry to the ceiling. He was especially excited about the butt hook and cock ring. He might even try experimenting with erotic piercing.
�I have a class after lunch, Sev,� he reminded Severus before continuing fellatio on his partner�s cock. He sucked and massaged and eventually Severus came with Harry drinking it up. A little dribbled out of the corner of his mouth but he simply wiped it off with his hand and used the slippery substance to stick two fingers into his unstretched arse. �I�m ready Master.�
Severus pushed Harry off of him and ordered him onto his hands and knees. Snape positioned his already erect member before the unprepared, puckered entrance and drove home in one thrust that knocked Harry�s hands out from under him. With his face eating the mattress, Harry was pounded into brutally.
�You like that you cock whore. You will be in class all day wishing this cock was buried up your arse.�
Harry moaned and screamed with pleasure, �Yes, Master! Fuck me until I can�t stand. Fuck your whore hard Master. Harder Master!� There was the loud sound that surrounded the room of Severus�s balls as they slapped against Harry�s ass with every pound Severus made to the root.
Severus pulled out and sprayed his load all over Harry�s thighs. Now came the hanging up part.
**
Harry walked into Transfiguration right as the bell rung and took the closest seat, not caring whom he sat by. Professor McGonagall nodded to him and he nodded back as they both knew she almost hadn�t expected him to show up. The mark on his neck was notably larger and darker making her assume that Harry and Severus had been intimate before he had come to class.
Then Harry shifted uncomfortably in his seat, or so it appeared. He was actually trying not to moan like a whore in the middle of class. Harry had a thing for vibrators and anything kinky. Knowing this, Severus had placed a vibrator egg up Harry�s ass and positioned it just so it not only constantly rubbed up against his sweet spot, but Severus had control of when it went on and how strongly it vibrated. Right now it was giving Harry a hard-on and as par Severus�s rules he wore nothing beneath his robe so it would become painfully obvious if he stood right now.
Harry listened to the lesson and attempted to transfigure the crow into a toad but he couldn�t. He wasn�t so disappointed because no one else seemed to be getting it either. He knew he could do it but at the moment he was about to tip over the edge and climax and he did � in the middle of Transfiguration. Luckily there were enough cries of spells that he wasn�t heard but then he felt the tell-tale four buzzes of the vibrator telling him he needed to leave his class to meet Severus.
He stood, cum leaking down his leg and smeared across the inside of his thick robes, and walked to the professor and told her he had to go then. She nodded and excused him, watching the odd sway of his walk. He strode out of the classroom and down the first hallway where he saw Severus leaning against the wall.
�Merlin, I barely heard a thing she said. I couldn�t stop myself, Master. I am yours to punish.� Harry bowed his head and Severus smirked.
�You�ve been bad, have you? Follow me,� he said as he turned and pulled a remote out of his other pocket. He turned up the vibrator to the most vigorous setting that made Harry double over in pleasure. It made it hard to walk and keep up with Severus. He led Harry to an unused classroom on the sixth floor where he ordered him to pull up his robe and face the wall. Severus summoned the vibrator into his handkerchief wrapped hand and stowed the toy in his pocket.
Normally he would�ve screwed Harry in the hall but there were students there now. They needn�t taint the innocence of young students by having them happen across their scary potions professor with the Boy Who Lived being pounded into the bricks. If the young ones wandered into the room, however, then the little shits would be just asking for it.
Their session went uninterrupted and Harry left the classroom with more than just his cum dripping down his legs.
***
It was nearing Christmas time in the castle but there was talk buzzing everywhere. No one had seen Harry for a week, aside from Severus, and it puzzled most. Some speculated that he had transferred schools or was in the infirmary for yet another reckless adventure. Some rumors were spreading that he stayed with Snape and was his catamite � they would be close � while others said he was shagging Snape and couldn�t show his face anymore from humiliation. Most first years said that Snape probably chopped him up for Potions ingredients.
In reality, Harry was recovering from a thrilling week off hardcore BDSM. They had some blood play with the knives and breath play in the tub, light shocking treatments to sensitive areas, whipping and flogging, erotic piercing, suspension, many toys and much non consensual-style sex. Harry had loved every minute of it.
Harry�s favourite part was how they had started with role playing and he was a student that Professor Snape needed to teach a lesson. His head had been shoved in a tub full of water as Sever fucked his unprepared ass and made his own dick hit against the tub mercilessly as he was �raped�. Then his ass had been flogged and he was given a cum facial. Severus had made him lick up cum from the dirty floor and give him a blowjob before he rode Severus non-stop for an hour, leaving Severus to slap his ass, pinch and pull at his nipples and stick in extra fingers. Harry had kept begging for more at one point while tied in an upright, spread eagle position and Severus had fisted him while holding a vibrator. Harry was whipped for passing out from intense pleasure.
Now he needed to heal from their fun and was almost done. Now he just had to catch up on homework before returning to class. In the meantime he had the most lovable and sweet Severus around. Severus worried that he had taken it too far several times during the week and had almost put a stop to it more than once. As a result he felt the need to be more caring towards Harry during his healing.
Harry had almost finished his work when Severus came in holding a tray with lunch. �Fruit and soup. You have to eat it all or you�re cut off for a week.�
Harry scowled in a great impression of the professor. He scanned the tray and frowned. �It seems like you were planning a dry spell anyways.� He was disappointed by the absence of his potion. He didn�t have it at breakfast and now it didn�t come at lunch. It never ceased to amaze Severus how Harry was so obsessed with sex. He wanted it every day, thrice a day. The boy was a sex machine and Severus was jogging to keep up.
�You need to heal. That means that there won�t be sex until your arse isn�t swollen and red anymore.�
�You said it wasn�t swelling anymore!� Harry argued.
�It�s not, but it�s still red and irritated. When you�re done eating I will apply more salve to you.� Severus pulled Harry into his lap and summoned the lunch tray. While Harry was eating, Severus was lavishing his neck with sucking, nipping and kissing. �How are you feeling, love?�
�Frustrated,� Harry replied. Severus grinned at the insinuation. �I�m also kind of happy. It�s almost Christmas. Can we do it in the halls again when the students leave? Or in the dormitories, perhaps?� Harry was always an optimist when it came to holidays because it meant more fun for himself and Severus.
�Perhaps,� the Potions Master replied with a kiss on Harry�s neck.
****
Only eight students stayed at Hogwarts for the holidays so with Harry healed and caught up in work, they were at it again. On three of over ten occasions that the pair had romps in the hallways, ghosts had come and watched avidly, with Mrs Norris fleeing once or twice. Once they had barely had time to run into a classroom before someone had come down the corridor. They had held their breath until the person walked away and then laughed before getting back to their business.
Severus managed to squeeze in enough time to brew potions for the infirmary only because he had roped Harry into making the simpler ones and they got the work done in half the time and shagged in the lab.
Harry had got Severus to go shopping with him for Christmas gifts in Hogsmead and they had each found the time to wrap their presents and place them under the tree. After their trip to Hogsmead, Harry started feeling under the weather. Every now and again he would get sick to his stomach like he had the flu and feel bad for the day but be fine a day later. His health was concerning Severus greatly and he didn�t respond to flu medicine making him believe there was something else wrong with him.
For the time being, Harry told him nothing was wrong and he just had a weak immune system. He caught colds all the time. Severus let it go and they enjoyed much shagging over the holidays despite Harry�s illness and Severus never got sick.
The students returned and Harry returned to classes with everyone else, still excelling in his two privately tutored subjects. He continued being sick until after Valentine�s Day which Harry and Severus had celebrated with another BDSM weekend. It wasn�t until Harry had fainted one day in April that they brought him to the hospital wing.
�You need to eat more, Harry. You�re too thin,� Madame Pomfrey chastened the sixteen-year-old.
Harry�s mouth was hanging open. He had been gaining weight the past month and a half and tried to lose it. He even had the beginnings of a gut for the first time in his life. It seemed to ignore the fact that he had Quidditch-toned abs altogether and keep getting bigger, slowly but surely. �I�ve been gaining weight lately and you�re telling me I�m too thin? Are you kidding?�
�It�s all part of the process,� she said in a calm tone.
�What process? Do blokes just start to gain weight when they start to reach their majority? Will it stop then?�
Madame Pomfrey�s eyes widened. �I was under the impression you and Severus were together as a part of your contract.�
�We are. What does this have to do with him?� Harry was getting more and more confused.
�I�m sorry Mr Potter; I was under the impression that you knew what with Severus being a trained medic and all.� She looked taken aback. �Harry dear, you�re with child. You�re already four and a half months along. I figured Severus would�ve scanned you himself before now.�
�But we used contraceptives, potions and spells and even let the potions have time to react. Shit!�
�You�re free to go now, Harry.� Madame Pomfrey left the bed and returned to her office at the end of the ward.
Harry pulled on his cloak and put his wand back up his sleeve and headed to the dungeons the quickest way he knew how to. Severus was waiting for him in the living room and had already started the fire to warm up the room. Harry took off his cloak and discarded his wand and shoes by the leather armchair. Tears were welling up in his eyes as he curled up on Severus� lap with his arms tightly around the man�s neck.
�I�m sorry Sev,� he stuttered out as his tears began to fall.
Severus was confused about what could warrant such a reaction. Why should Harry be sorry after a check-up unless it affected Severus too? What could he have that Severus might catch? �Why are you sorry, love? I don�t understand the reason for your tears.�
�I�m sorry. It didn�t work. None of it worked.�
�What didn�t work?�
�The potions.�
�Do you still have that flu?�
Harry shook his head, �No, I never did. I�m pregnant, Sev, and have been since November. The contraceptives didn�t work. I�m almost five months along and due in August.
*****
Harry had just celebrated his seventeenth birthday at 8 � months pregnant and was ready to pop at any given moment. He still lived in the castle with Severus but since he was so young and thin, he had been told to stay bedridden and Harry disliked that a lot. He hadn�t been able to play the final Gryffindor match against Ravenclaw and they had lost the match to them along with the Quidditch cup.
This caused many arguments between the couple and usually ended up with them sleeping in separate rooms. Things were getting rocky before they even started. Severus hoped that Harry giving birth to their child would change things and perhaps if things went better after their child arrived, he would definitely consider proposing because he did love Harry and he did want a life with Harry.
The very week before the baby was to be born, Severus was sent away to a Potions Convention in France for five days. During those days many things had happened. On the first day Harry had arranged to get transferred to Durmstrang for his final year. He would stay with the Krums on holidays though Viktor was done school now and playing Seeker for Bulgaria full-time now.
The second day, Harry went into labour and after eight painful hours, he gave birth to a little boy whom he named Darien Severus Snape. The pair had decided that Darien was a good name for a boy but Severus had wanted to have Harry�s first name or a variation of it if it was a girl, for their child�s middle name as they had agreed on having Snape as the child�s last name. Harry decided that the child was better off without him and signed off his rights to the child to Severus. If he wasn�t going to be there for the kid, he definitely wouldn�t make the boy carry the name of a father that was never there.
The second day he also started writing a letter to Severus. Each time he wrote it he scratched out a few lines and rewrote it with more added on. By the third day he had finished the letter and took the Floo to the Ministry where he got a paper to sign that would end his contract with Severus and brought it back to the castle with him. He packed all of his things into his trunk and kissed his son goodbye. He was in a magic crib in the infirmary as Poppy knew he had signed away his rights to the boy and she watched him until Severus was to return and collect him.
Harry unclasped a necklace from around his neck, shrunk it, and tied it around Darien�s neck, putting an anti-choking charm on it. It was a Gryffindor pendent that a few people on the Quidditch team had gotten with their initials and position played on the back. Harry�s said �H.J.P. Seeker�. He left the infirmary and levitated his trunk behind him as he could use magic any time now. He headed to the Headmaster�s office and sent his things before him through the Floo.
�Are you sure you want to do this, Harry?� Professor Dumbledore asked. �No matter what you are always welcome here.�
Harry was nodding, �I have to do this; for me, for Severus and for Darien. I don�t want either of them thinking I resent their existence and I know they would if I stay. Besides, Severus did as I asked him. I asked him to make me hurt more than when Sirius died. He didn�t do it intentionally but it worked. I have to go.� Harry conjured a pen and signed the Ministry document that dissolved their contract.
�It�s done,� Harry said as the parchment glowed and disappeared like the one before had. This time though, he did feel different.
*****
Eight years later...
Harry, now known as Harrison by fans, soared and darted through the air. He could see the faint shimmer that was the snitch he was chasing. He got better every time and his team was already ahead in points. He urged his broom on yet faster and faster as he neared the goal hoops and he saw his brother rushing alongside him. He pushed forward that extra stretch and grasped the golden ball in his hand.
He flew to the ground and though his brother played for the other team, they shook hands and Viktor tackled him in a hug. Viktor Krum still played for his home country of Bulgaria but Harry now played for the Spanish team. The Krums and Viktor had many contacts that had scouted Harry and wanted to sign him on. Not wanting to take Viktor�s spot, he had gone with Italy at first and then his contract had been bought for a sizable amount by Spain. They had gone through a winning streak since then and they had now just beaten Bulgaria for the third year straight.
�I love you Sly, but you are getting an earful later from mom about playing fair.�
�Mom is just going to tell you you�re a sore loser, Swift.� Harry had become like a part of the Krum family since his arrival. Viktor had taken him under his wing a lot. They were family in all but blood and legal terms. He now lived in Madrid but always came home once a month and for family gatherings. He would be eternally grateful for them helping him to rebuild his life after he had left England.
When he returned home to Sofia with Viktor, their father waved Harry over, �You got a letter today. It�s from the English Ministry of Magic. You should read it.�
Harry opened the letter and started reading.
�Dear Mr Potter,
It is my duty to inform you that you are due to attend the reading of the will and last testament of one Sirius Orion Black, whom has been pardoned for his crimes post-humus. The will reading will be done at noon on the tenth day of the month of August at Gringotts Bank in Diagon Alley and your attendance is required.
If you cannot attend due to physical condition or hospitalization, you are to reply to this letter post-haste and give a written statement of your reason for not attending. Non legitimate reasons or failure to appear will result in your portion to be given to the English Ministry of Magic...�
Harry couldn�t believe it. Sirius was exonerated. Too bad it was nine years too late. The will reading was the next day. It must�ve taken the owl a few days to find him and deliver it.
�What does it say Sly?� Viktor asked. Their father was looking like he wanted to know the same thing.
�My godfather that died...�

“Sirius?� Viktor supplied with a question.

�Yeah, Sirius. He was pardoned for his crimes and now his will can be read. It had to have taken this letter a while to get to me because the reading is tomorrow. I need to start making my way over there now and packing. I need to call Marco and tell him I can�t be at the press conference or practice tomorrow. I need to find a place to stay the night. If I wait until tomorrow to go then something is going to happen and I�ll miss it.� Harry was all over the place.
�I�ll go with you. I�m not letting you go back alone. Plus I might get to see Herm-own-ninny,� Viktor tried to pronounce Harry�s once-friend�s name.
�It�s Hermione, Swift, and I haven�t talked to them since the � forget it. I�ll take you to see her. She shouldn�t be too hard to find.� Harry hugged his surrogate dad and mom and gave his mother a kiss on the cheek. �I�ll be seeing you.� He turned to Viktor and they ran up to his room to collect a bag of his things. They went to the upstairs library and took the Floo to Madrid to get everything that Harry needed.
They had to Floo to France first where they were searched and they continued on to England, arriving in the Foreign Travel and Exchange Centre. It was like an airport terminal that the muggles had except a bit less confusion.
�Name and country of... Merlin�s beard! It�s Harry Potter! Hello Mr. Potter! How�s Quidditch treating you? My son is a huge fan.� The man behind the counter prattled and went into another tirade for Viktor as well.
�Excuse me, sir,� Viktor interrupted the man. �We need to be moving along, if you vould?� His Bulgarian accent was very prominent in his English whereas Harry still had his English accent, even after learning Bulgarian, Italian and Spanish.

�Yes, of course. Welcome to England, please enjoy your stay!� he almost shouted as he slapped the stamp on their marked up passports.
The exited the Centre in a hurry using the Floo again. �I really promised myself I wouldn�t do this ever again, you know?� Harry said off-handily to Viktor before speaking, �Headmaster Dumbledore�s office, Hogwarts School.�
Harry stepped into the blazing green with Viktor behind him and they entered the office where Dumbledore sat behind the desk, eyes wide. �Merlin, I didn�t think you�d ever come back at this rate my boy. Come in, come in!� Harry and Viktor took seats in front of the desk and they chatted for a while before the stairs leading to the office started moving and the door was flung open a little while later and a small blur of black hair and green robes ran around the desk and tugged on Albus� robe.
�Grandpa Albus! Guess what? Papa brought me out to the field and he let me try out the broom you gave me yesterday for my birthday and he said as long as I didn�t go too high I could ride it. So I rode it and I went like super high and I felt like I was a cloud but then Papa shouted for me to stop being a cloud and go lower to the ground. He was kind upset and muttered something about insufferable Gryffindor fathers the entire way up here and so I said I�d just go ahead and he was all, �Don�t interrupt your grandfather and his guests!� but I guess I kinda did anyways. Oops.� The child had bright green eyes and black hair like Harry and Severus, though the boy�s hair waived like Harry�s did when it got long. He had Harry�s nose but Severus could be found in the high cheek bones and elegant jaw. There was no doubt this was Harry and Severus� child Darien.
�Darien Severus Snape! What did I just tell you not to do?� Severus was coming through the door and Harry turned to look at him. The former stopped in the middle of chastening their child to stare at Harry.
�What a pleasant surprise, Severus. You know Darien isn�t a bother, right Viktor?� Albus said, directing the conversation away from this awkward encounter.
�Not at all. I vas rather intrigued by this cloud feeling he mentioned. I have been in the air so much and have never felt like a cloud. You must tell me, Darien is it, vhat is this feeling?� Viktor asked. He was good with kids, especially when they were talking about flying.
�Shall we bring this conversation to my private library?�
Darien�s eyes sparkled, �Can you read me some books again Grandpa? I mean, after we talk about flying. Then can we?�
Albus and Viktor stood and walked with Darien to the next room, leaving Severus and Harry in the office. �Sirius was exonerated and I got the letter a few hours ago saying that the will reading is tomorrow. I figured it would be better to arrive early than try to get here by noon tomorrow.� Harry felt the need to justify himself to Severus as he hadn�t seen him since he was pregnant with Darien.
�I�m not trying to come here and uproot your way of life with Darien or be a dad to him for three days before leaving again.�
�Are you with him?�
�Who?� Harry was confused.
�Him. The Bulgarian muffin you strode in with; are you fucking him?� Severus asked in a cold tone.
�Viktor? Ew, that�s disgusting. He�s my brother in every aspect of the word except blood and paperwork.� Harry shivered at the thought. �Plus he�s straighter than a wand. I haven�t been with anyone since you. There was a drunken foray once but that was over once he tried to get me to go home with him. How about you?�
Snape scoffed, �What do you think? I�m the evil, Slytherin, hooked-nose, dungeon bat that now has a kid running around. Who would want to date me?�
�I did... sort of.�
�Not really. I recall a total of one outing at Christmas and that was it. We never dated.�
Harry laughed as he moved around the arm chair, �I don�t think that really bothered me though. The sex was mind-blowing and it made up for anything that was lacking.�
�Then why did you leave?� Severus all but whispered. He looked deeply hurt by the thought.
�I was cornered. I had a baby coming and it wasn�t something I could handle. You even said it yourself. Plus I knew that you would think I resented you for sticking me with a kid when I was not even out of school. I felt like you being required to look after me meant that you would ensure that I didn�t get pregnant before I was ready but it happened and you were over the moon about it, even though you had assured me before time and again that I shouldn�t get pregnant. Then everything became about the baby and it was like you just wanted the baby and it was all that mattered. It was like I didn�t matter anymore.
�I was barely seventeen and I wasn�t ready or in the position, even with you here, to raise a child. I never had a father and the male figure in my life neglected me from the start and beat me. My only family starved me because they hated me. What kind of father was I supposed to be to an innocent child like that?
�You�ve told me stories of your aunt taking you to the carnival when you were younger. What if I went with Darien and he asked me if it was like this when I was younger. What would I say? �Well son, my family went twice a year to the one outside of London but they locked me in the cupboard under the stairs and forgot to let me out when I got home so I usually fainted from dehydration.� I�m sure you would never want to have to tell your son you don�t know how to be anything but a monster to him.�
Severus had stayed quiet during this and pondered. Then he spoke, �Bull shit. You had me every step of the way and I never said you couldn�t do it. I said that I would never wish it upon you because you still had to finish school and you had a life to pursue. As for your relatives, anyone with the right drive can change things for the better. You know you want the opposite for your children than what you had � no parents, abusive home, not being fed or having love.
�You know you want different for Darien and you could�ve done it too. You still can, love.� Severus gave a small smile and Harry eased his way into the older man�s arms. �I know things won�t be easy but if you want to stay, just know that our son is already a carbon copy of you and wants to know his dad.�
�I want to stay but I have a whole other life. What could I do? I mean, I play Quidditch out of Spain, visit my �adoptive� family once a month in Bulgaria, and then you and Darien live here in England. That�s too much travelling. We would need to figure something out. Gods... I need to talk to Swift about this.�
The senior of the two quirked an eyebrow, �Who is Swift?�
�I believe he is the, how did you say it, �Bulgarian muffin I strode in with�?� Harry teased mercilessly.
�In the mean time I seem to recall us christening the castle inch by inch.� Harry gave Severus a devilish grin at the thought of all the taboo things they had done within the walls of this very castle.
Severus made a show of looking around the Headmaster�s office, �We never managed to get in here did we?�
�No, but there is such a thing as a locking spell and sound wards.�
�I love the way you think, Potter.� Their lips met and it was like picking up where the good times had left off. Severus flicked his wand at the Floo, closing it off temporarily. The two separated for a moment muttering incantations at all the doors and windows and covering the portraits so they couldn�t see anything � even the blank ones.
They built a silencing ward around the room and discarded their wands and robes. The Potions Master was exactly as Harry had remembered � tall, strong, lean and hung like a horse. He smiled at the thought.

Severus� eyes raked over Harry�s naked skin. He was more muscular than he had been in the prime of his youth but one or two tell-tale stretch marks could be seen in the taught skin that had recovered nicely from having a child. The straight scar from his Caesarean section below his eight pack stood as another testament that this was real. �I see you kept these, love,� Severus said as he gave the nipple rings a light tug.
“I couldn�t part with them. Every time I tried I just couldn�t do it,� Harry admitted.
�So twisted,� Severus whispered as Harry wrapped his arms around Severus� neck.
The older man lifted Harry�s thighs and Harry wrapped his legs around Severus� hips. Severus gave Harry three fingers to suck on before he started using the fingers to stretch him. It was like stretching a virgin all over again. Apparently eight years did that to Harry. He moaned in Severus� ear and sucked at his neck with pleasure.
�Mmm... Sev. I�ve always been yours,� Harry breathed in the professor�s ear as the third finger went in. �Make love to me, please,� he groaned. Severus walked forward until Harry�s back met the door that Severus had come in through. With a bit of adjusting, Severus eased into Harry and began a slow rhythm that drove Harry crazy. He had finally cum and Severus had as well.
�Harry, we didn�t...�
�I don�t care. If I�m going to get knocked up, it�s going to happen regardless of if we use contraceptives or not, don�t you agree?� Harry smiled and pulled Severus over to the desk. �I�ve been bad, Professor. I think you need to pound my ass with a little more than just your hand, sir.�
Severus smirked and took a hold on Harry�s hips, �Yes Mr Potter, I agree. Lean over the desk and stick your ass out. Yes, good boy.� Severus dove into Harry�s hot, tight arse and slammed him against the Headmaster�s desk smearing some of Harry�s cum from his previous climax on the ornate desk. Severus continued the rough pounding against Harry�s prostate and the slapping of his testicles could barely be heard over Harry�s vocal response.
Harry climaxed again against the Headmaster�s desk and he stopped Severus. �His chair,� was all Harry said and Severus got the idea. He pulled out his painfully hard member and sat in Dumbledore�s chair. Harry seated himself on Severus� cock and bounced himself on Severus� lap. Severus slapped his ass every time he dropped himself onto the hard dick that Harry had longed for, for such a long time.
Severus could feel his partner getting close again to climax as he was and bit on the sensitive nipples while he worked Harry�s swollen cock. They ejaculated together and rode out the aftershocks of the last and more mind-blowing orgasm yet. Their skin was sweat-covered and cum dripped out of Harry�s used love hole as they kissed.
�I think they might be getting suspicious. We need to clean up or Albus will never let me in here again,� Harry said with a slight giggle. He disconnected himself from Severus and his cock slid out with a pop from the juices. Harry ran a finger through the semen running down his leg and brought it to his face before sucking it off his fingers. It was one of the most erotic things Severus had seen.
They banished their messes and summoned cloths to clean themselves up with and they redressed, still smelling sex in the room. Harry released the silencing spell and opened the windows before spelling a gust of wind into the office to clear out the smell. Harry put a dab of cologne on that he retrieved from his bag to freshen up. They straightened out their robes and hair before uncovering the paintings and unlocking the doors.
They took seats before the grand desk they had just fucked against and the door opened with Albus leading the way into the office. �Everything sorted out boys?� Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at the pair.
�Yes, sir.� Harry was trying his hardest to keep the smile off his face.
�Papa who is this?� Darien asked as he bounded over to Severus.
Harry�s eyes brightened at the boy�s curiosity. �Darien, this is Harry Potter. He�s your dad.� Severus waited a moment to gauge Darien�s reaction.
�So you�re the insufferable Gryffindor Papa always mutters about. I told him he was being silly because he was in Slytherin but that makes sense now!� Harry turned and looked into Severus� eyes with a smile. They would work something out.
