Chapter 12

Severus's POV

Loud chatter filled the Great Hall as the students eat their breakfast. That alone had grated on his nerves, not to mention Sinistra's constant blathering about the newest astronomical model. Severus's lips curled up in displeasure. It seemed that while other colleagues had taken a hint to leave him alone, Sinistra had somehow missed it.

Even his obvious silent treatment didn't deter her. He glared at his goblet, silently wishing it contained something stronger than a pumpkin juice. Merlin knew that he really needed it if he should endure this for another half-hour. Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a slight movement. A lone figure who wasn't wearing Hogwarts student's uniform stood at the entrance to the Great Hall and stood out like a sore thumb.

Severus frowned. He had expected Potter to come to Hogwarts but not this early. Some students began to notice Potter's presence too. It didn't take a long time for whispers spread throughout the Hall.

For someone that hated public attention, Potter had the knack of picking the wrong moment to make an appearance. He watched Longbottom rose from his seat at the Gryffindor's table and greeted Potter. The young man stopped on his track and chatted with Longbottom.

A hand on his shoulder suddenly tore his attention away from Potter. Severus stiffened and had to struggle with his reflex to whip his wand out as Sinistra leaned closer to whisper something that undoubtedly just as unimportant.

When he cast his gaze back at Potter, the young man was already walking toward the High Table with a scowl on his face, and there was a mad glint in those eyes. His trained senses immediately detected danger. He quickly rose from his chair and quietly excused himself.

"Follow me," he said softly, as he met Potter halfway, and lead them into the antechamber behind the High Table, ignoring the curious stare the staffs and students threw at them.

Severus muttered Locking Spell, and Muffliato charm to ensure that they wouldn't be overheard as soon as they got inside of the antechamber.

Severus turned around to facing Potter. "What happened, Potter?"

There was a brief moment of silence before Potter turned his face away and mumbled, "Nothing."

Severus scowled. His patience was running thin. He wasn't in the mood for any long-winded talk.

"Brilliant, Potter! You come this early to Hogwarts for nothing?" he said, dripping with sarcasm.

Potter clenched his jaw and looked up at him with defiance in his eyes.

Harry's POV

Frustration and anger threatened to burst out. Merlin, he might be clueless sometimes but even he would be able to recognize a rival when he saw one and yes, Sinistra definitely was. He bloody knew that it was wrong to lash out at Severus but he was insanely jealous of Sinistra. For one, she was a woman, a gender that he was certain that Severus preferred. And Sinistra was pretty enough if you liked a dark beauty type.

On top of that, he wasn't sure why Severus should choose him if given a chance. Half of the time, he always succeeded to make the man angry with him. It was definitely not an endearing trait. Some part of him kept wondered whether Severus accepted him out of pity. He clenched his hand tightly, his short nails biting his palm, and painfully swallowed bile that rose in his throat.

No! He is mine! He thought possessively as he closed the gap and pressed a desperate kiss to Severus's lips.

Harry felt the older man's body tense up. He unconsciously waited for a rejection but Severus didn't push him away. Instead, he felt Severus's muscles relax under his touch. He blinked back his tears of relief. He pulled back slightly, looking at those dark eyes, which were filled with questions, but to his relief, he could detect neither contempt nor pity. He felt his heart expanded and his affection for the other man grew.

Merlin, it is easy to fall for him all over again! He thought as he leaned back in for another kiss.

Harry nibbled on Severus's lower lip, silently asking for permission before slipping his tongue inside. Severus wrapped his arms around his waist in response, drawing him closer to him as the man deepened the kiss. Their tongues melded together in a sinuous dance. Kissing Severus felt really good. The man tasted like all good things. A combination of coffee, spices, and honey.

He sighed in delight and couldn't contain a tiny groan of pleasure as Severus's fingers slide up and down his spine then glide teasingly over the hairs at the back of his neck, making his member straining painfully hard against its confinements.

Reluctantly, Harry broke the kiss and tried to rein his galloping libido. It was such a torture to hold back. The older man looked so delicious with his flushed face and swollen, reddened lips.

Come on, he argued with himself. Severus won't be happy if you jump on his bones while the whole school was just behind the door. Besides, aren't you supposed to have a certain resolution about it?

He was swinging back forth between the pros and cons, unable to make up his mind.

"Satisfied, Potter?" asked Severus in a mocking tone.

He blushed, embarrassed. It was good that Severus didn't sound mad at him but he felt like a beast for ravishing him.

Well, you are a beast, have you forgotten your poor 'little brother'? The annoying voice said in his mind.

"So," said Severus, crossing his arms. "Care to tell me, what is this about?"

Harry blinked then frowned. Well, that certainly pulled his head out of the clouds. For a moment, he had even forgotten about Sinistra. There was no anger and no pain, only Severus existed in his world.

Harry huffed noisily. There was no way in hell that he was going to be the one to tell Severus that Sinistra had feelings for the man. He wasn't kind enough to help his rival anyway. However, he still had to answer Severus's question, the man wouldn't let him off the hook that easily. He had to consider his next words carefully.

Harry thought that it was for the best not to lie since Severus probably would notice it and said slowly, "I went to thank Dobby for cleaning up Sirius's house."

Severus raised his eyebrow. There was unspoken 'And?' hanging out there. He avoided looking directly to the man and quickly looked down. He tugged hard at a thread that came out of his pocket, feeling a bit nervous.

"And well, I—I want to see you too," he finished lamely.

"Only that?" asked Severus, probing him further.

Then Sinistra happened, he added as he pulled the thread too hard and it snapped.

Severus's POV

Severus narrowed his eyes at Potter as the young man didn't answer the last question. From Potter's expression alone, he knew that he didn't tell him the whole truth. Something had happened and whatever it was it had driven Potter in a rage, which then prompted the young man to kiss him. He had let Potter do it purely because he sensed that the young man needed it. It was either that or to let a piece of Hogwarts getting blasted off. A kiss was definitely cheaper.

Something was going on. Potter had kept his Occulmency barrier up since he asked the first questions. He didn't like it when he was kept in the dark. Though if Potter wanted to close his mouth, even torture sessions wouldn't make him spill it out.

Potter, you stubborn fool! He thought, annoyed.

"Potter," said Severus.

"Yes?" replied Potter.

At seeing Potter's questioning look, Severus grimaced. What in the Merlin's name, was he trying to do? He wasn't Dumbledore. He couldn't and wouldn't care to console anyone. Potter's problem wasn't his business.

But he said that he loved you, didn't that make that his problem also yours? A voice reasoned. Wasn't he supposed to share it with you? Did he not trust you?

Severus stomped all over that voice angrily, refusing to admit that a tiny part of him that was hurt because Potter refused to tell him.

"If that's all," said Severus, a little too forcefully.

Severus strode to the door and took out his wand. He was about to lift the spells off when Potter suddenly caught his right arm.

"Potter!" hissed Severus.

"Sorry Sev-," said Potter, smiling apologetically. "Err, may I call you Severus?"

Severus's lips thinned. "Being familiar, aren't we?"

Potter looked like a kicked puppy upon hearing his words, making him feel guilty.

"I'm sorry," muttered Potter, his eyes showing pain.

Severus cursed inwardly. Those blasted green eyes! He was weak to those eyes.

He forced himself to speak and ended up talking through his clenched teeth. "You may."

"Come again?" said Potter, surprised.

Severus felt his face hot with anger and embarrassment. The urge to behead Potter with a dull axe couldn't be stronger than now. How dare Potter to ask him repeat it!

"Please don't, if you don't want to," said Potter. "I don't…"

"Shut up, Potter! I won't take back my word," snapped Severus, glaring at him.

"Oh, okay…" said Potter, looking pretty unsure about it.

There was uncomfortable silence hanging around them before Potter tugged gently on his robe. Potter was looking straight at him with an expression that made his heart ache.

"Thank you, Severus," said Potter softly, happiness reflected in his smile and eyes. "I…"

However, as if on cue, Potter's stomach gave a growl, loud enough to be heard by both of them. Severus welcomed the interruption. He was so sure that Potter was going to say the love words again. He had no idea how to respond to it.

"Potter, you are such a glutton," sneered Severus, very glad to get back on familiar situation.

Potter’s face went a little pink and said with a sheepish grin. "Is it okay for me to have breakfast here?"

"Wouldn't want to deny Harry Potter his meal, would we?" said Severus sarcastically.

Potter said his thanks with a bright smile, immune to his sarcasm.

Severus gave a snort, Cheeky rascal!

XxXxX

Fortunately, for Potter, the High Table was still missing one Professor. There was still no new Potion Professor so there was enough space for Potter. Severus asked Sinistra whether she could kindly shift to a seat on her left after he explained that Potter would be staying for breakfast. Since Minerva as the Deputy Headmistress sat at Severus's right, Sinistra didn't have a choice but to accept it.

"Of course, Headmaster," said Sinistra pleasantly.

"You are so kind, Professor," said Potter, smiling sweetly to Sinistra.

In fact, Potter was smiling too sweetly that it looked unnatural. The second Sinistra turned away, his smile vanished, and those green eyes had a cold look about them. Severus almost raised an eyebrow at the rare display of hostility. Why would Potter dislike Sinistra? He didn't even know her well. Severus narrowed his eyes suspiciously at Potter who took a seat beside him, looking rather pleased.

Could it be that he is just—jealous? Interesting, He mused thoughtfully.

Xxxxxx

Harry's POV

Harry sat on his seat, revelling in his triumph, not caring that he was acting immature.

Revenge is sweet, he thought viciously.

He took a guilty pleasure in evicting Sinistra from her seat. For once in his life, he was grateful for his position as Head of Defence at the Ministry. If not for his position, he wouldn't be able to sit beside Severus.

And I shared another kisses with Severus today, he thought smugly.

Harry resisted the urge to grin as he ate his breakfast. He took a bite of sausage and sighed in delight. Hogwarts' food was still the best after all, only seconded by Mrs. Weasley’s cooking. He grabbed a piece of toast and munched on it thoughtfully. Severus's birthday was coming close.

January 9, he thought, it means that I only have 6 days left to prepare a present for him!

What should I get for him? He thought as he took a big gulp of his orange juice.

"Potter, come to my office once you finish your breakfast," ordered Severus as the man stood up.

"Er – wait," he asked.

Harry quickly finished his toast then gulped the rest of his juice. Severus threw him a look of disgust for his lack of manner.

He fought the urge to blush and asked, "Moody won't come with us?"

He referred to the D.A.D.A. Professor who sat at the corner of the table.

"No, Alastor got morning classes. Come, Potter," said Severus in a clipped tone.

Severus was walking ahead of him with his black robe bellowing behind him.
