Chapter 15 - More revelations
Warnings: M/M Graphic Content, Angst
Harry slipped out of bed and walked quickly to the loo. He relieved himself quickly and set out for the kitchen, needing food. He was sure Severus needed some as well. It was well past midnight, and the house was dark and quiet. Harry padded over to the refrigerator to scrounge something halfway edible. Sandwiches would have to do, so he put some together on a plate and poured two cups of juice. This should tide them both over until morning. Harry passed the library, while carrying the food items and saw his mother's parchments. He turned into pick them up as well, knowing that Severus might find enjoyment in them too.
Harry laid the parchments and food on a side table in the corner of his room and went to rouse Severus. The man was sleeping so peacefully. His face had no impassive mask, not hard line of cruelty to it, just a peaceful stark beauty. Harry reached down to just trace his forehead, and then bent to give a gentle kiss. He would leave Severus to sleep, if he woke there would be food, but if not, breakfast would do.
Harry sat down and ate, picking up his mother's parchments. The last page was still the same. Harry brightened. He could finish the potion tonight, it was ready for the last ingredients. He stuffed the rest of the sandwich in his mouth and ran down to the Lab. Found the instructions Severus had left and read over them. The last two steps were missing. Harry's shoulder slouched a bit. There was nothing he could do, Severus was the only one who knew what those last two steps were, if he pulled the potion out of stasis now, it would be ruined if not done right.
A slow caress of long fingers came over his shoulders and down his chest. "And what are you doing out of bed so early, Mr. Potter?" The voice trailed over Harry's skin like warm honey. Harry leaned back taking in the scent that was pure Severus, intoxicating. "Mmmm. Just checking on our potion. I am curious what else my mother has to say. Care to help me finish it?" He said, while slowly turning in Severus' arms. Severus looked down at the smaller man, enraptured by the sexy look that filled those eyes. "For a price, I could render my services." He whispered. Harry's breath hitched the look of pure want in those black eyes blazed at him. Harry was weak, that voice could melt bones he was sure of it. Severus held Harry tighter feeling his legs weaken, he smiled slyly. "Hmm, how about I help you and afterwards we play a small game...where I win?" Harry grinned, he liked this type of banter, Severus in his dreams was always fun and easy, and now he could have the real Severus right here right now. Harry broke out of that delicious hold, needing air and separation to keep him from attacking his lover and taking him on the floor of the lab. As if sensing his need, Severus moved back and walked over towards the caldron. "There is a freshly prepared Bergamot tincture in the cupboard, bring that to me. That is the last ingredient necessary." Severus stated, undoing the stasis charm on the potion.
Harry nodded and walked over to the appointed cupboard and opened it, some fresh supplies were placed on the shelf and clearly labeled, and he grabbed the small bottle labeled "bergamot tincture". Severus had already started the three stir processes needed for the next two steps, and harry handed him the Bergamot. "The charm you need to perform next is the final reveal charm. Think of a strong memory of that revealed truth, and then cast the charm. The stronger the truth memory, the stronger the charm." Severus instructed. His tone still velvet, but more impassive.Harry thought hard for the best truth memory he had, the strongest one. He reached out and held it to the front of his mind, blushing beet red with Severus' eyes on him and quickly cast his charm.
Severus was struck by how adorable Harry looked in full blush. He wanted to know what memory could bring about that color to Harry, but had to concentrate to finish the potion. He completed the last few procedures and gave the potion the final stir. It turned into a beautiful teal blue. "Grab your vials so you can bottle it." Severus directed. Harry already had them lined up on the other side, and they directed the potion into the vials and applied the stoppers.
Severus turned on Harry, his eyes blazing, and reached out to pull him into a fiery kiss...This passion, this need for Harry scared him a bit, it was all consuming, and difficult to control. This man had completely undone him and his death grip on his self-control. The kiss was hard, and full of pure need and fire. Severus pulled back letting them breath. Harry's heart was racing, "I'm not sure I will ever get enough, you are so addictive" He murmured against Severus' hard chest that was heaving. Severus shook with need, his body ached, his blood burned and his skin was sensitive to every breath Harry breathed. Never had something captivated him so much. "It's hard to maintain control around you." Severus confessed, his voice eliciting a moan from his younger lover. "So many years keeping to ourselves, I think." Harry offered. They stayed like that, standing, holding each other, and trying each to calm down. The pair looked sinful. Severus Snape clad in fitted black pants, the ivory skin from his bare chest glowing under the torch light. His black hair long, but tousled, and his arms clasping a similarly clad younger, tan man, bare-chested with inky black hair mussed and messy, head just under Severus' chin.
"Let’s go upstairs and see if my mother left me something further, it will be an adventure." Harry said as he pulled away, though not letting go of one Severus' hands. They walked back up that familiar pathway, hand in hand through the kitchen and hall, up the narrow stairs to the small table in the bedroom.
Harry picked up the last parchment to see more of his mother's beautiful script fill out the page.
"Your Soul mate lives. I knew since your conception that Severus Snape was meant for just you. His love of potions will be good for you, as a challenge lies behind each one, just as opening his heart is the greatest challenge and the most fulfilling. Old wounds heal fastest when love is the balm applied. The Epiphany potion can be helpful against those that suffer from the many curses that were used during the last war. A good supply is the key for any infirmary after a vicious war."
Severus looked up at Harry, awed by her insight. "Why did I not think of that? She was always so perceptive. Of course we should send our supply to Poppy. For those touched by the Imperious, and the Cruciatus curse, the lingering effects can be countered by the Epiphany potion." Harry nodded, but was focused on the new lettering that was forming on the last page that had been blank."A history and an Inheritance... Bring the four founders to their rightful place, Hogwarts be your guide."
Harry laughed. Severus looked perplexed.
"What on earth does that signify?" Severus asked.
Harry shrugged, "Hardest one yet for me. The only thing that makes sense is to let Hogwarts be my guide, at least she can be helpful."
Severus looked at him, "She?"
"Evidently, Hogwarts over the years has developed a consciousness and SHE, is well a she." Harry explained.
"Oh, and 'She' talks I take it?" Severus asked, amused.
"She explained the whole protector bit to me, and has talked on occasion when necessary, not sure if she only communicates when I need something from her or on her own." Harry offered.
'I can communicate on my own to both of you. If I choose. I can and will guide you on this last quest, but not right now, you have a bonding to attend soon. I always love bondings.'
Severus' eyes went wide, and Harry's hand moved over to stroke Severus' hand.
"A little disconcerting isn't it?" Harry offered. Severus only nodded.
They ate the small snack in silence, enjoying the company for once.
"We best get some rest, tomorrow is going to be a full day if George or Draco have any say in it." Harry said with a yawn. Harry reached for Severus, who grasped Harry's hand and allowed himself to be led back to the only bed in the room. They slept so peacefully for once, neither plagued with dreams or nightmares, only the soothing sounds of sleep.
The next day was full of preparations, George and Draco had chosen the Grand Courtyard for the bonding ceremony. They had chosen sunrise for bonding, for them it resembled new beginnings. They each needed to start fresh. Over the last few months, the bond between them had grown strong, their friendship had blossomed, and love followed quickly, tomorrow was to be a testament to the strength of their bond. Harry was happy for his friends and wished them the best; he did not however relish the fact that he would have to wear a tight monkey suit for the bonding. But being as it was Draco Malfoy's bonding only the best would be expected. Winky had laid out all of Harry's and Severus' things for the ceremony on the back of the chair in their room. Severus was pacing, knowing Harry was fine, he was just doing his duty as best man and taking the boys out to someplace special. Though Severus was asked, he declined to go, as he thought he would hinder them. Now though he was berating himself for allowing Harry to go off alone. Being without Harry now had consequences. It was like an itch he couldn't scratch and a feeling that he was constantly forgetting something.
The floor creaked under him, "You will wear out my beautiful carpet Severus. Relax!"
Severus jumped when Hogwarts spoke so softly to him. He could feel the humor in her words, as if she could convey her feelings to him.
"Sorry, I can't help myself right now." Severus said.
"Well if you need something to do how about I guide you to the first founder and get you out of this room and off my floor." She sounded irritated and that made Severus smirk.
"The easiest one for you will be the Ravenclaw bust, you must look inside the library, in the place students must request permission." She said, her voice a soft movement inside his mind, so used to rough mental treatment, it was a balm of sorts for Severus.
Severus moved with purpose down the stairs, he did not share Harry's ability to come and go at leisure around Hogwarts, so walking was his means. As he walked closer to the castle, he notices bright lights over at the Quidditch pitch. Last he heard it had been burned to the ground. He shifted focus and went closer to inspect. The pitch was intact and perfect as if it had never been touched. In the air were George, Draco and Harry, speeding around as if trying to catch each other. Severus was transfixed, he had seen Harry fly before, and knew it was something he loved, but with his new connection to Harry, he could see the pure joy that radiated off Harry. Harry was magnificent, face flushed, legs tight, and a smile plastered on his face. Severus moved closer to the entrance to the pitch so he could watch, his body just barely outlined in the doorway. Harry seemed to stop in mid-air, flip left and dropped like a lead balloon towards the ground. Severus nearly choked with fear seeing his lover plummet to the ground at increasing speed, but mere yards away from the ground, Harry righted the broom and zoomed towards Severus, only to stop and over at eye level and a Huge grin plastered on his face. "So you decided to join us after all, care to ride, or fly on your own?" Harry said, offering his hand. Severus had never been one to take to a broom, so he would trust Harry to fly them both. He had barely placed his hand in Harry's when it was gripped tightly and He was pulled up and over the back of Harry's broom as if he had been a feather. When had the boy gotten so strong?
Man, Harry was a man. Severus chastised himself. He had to let the past go, they were equals now, and lovers. He wrapped his hands around Harry's waist and they took off after a laughing George and Draco who were chasing after each other. "Looks like you picked up an old bat, Harry." George quipped as he turned around to face the newcomer. Draco chuckled behind him and Severus groused. "Yes well at least this bat knows how to bite." Harry shouted back at them, causing a blush to flood the pristine professor's face.
They flew for hours, chasing, playing with a few Quidditch balls and plain just having fun. Severus just held on and really began enjoying flying for the first time. He had never shared the experience with anyone, and his aversion melted away in the light of Harry's joy. Harry was slowly lowering them to the ground when Severus remembered what he had been about before he had joined Harry on the pitch. "The Castle gave me a clue to get me out of the house if you’re interested." Severus whispered softly in Harry's ear. He enjoyed the pleasure Harry seemed to get from his voice, he didn't understand it, but the sensual displays Harry had were worth it. As impossible as it seemed, Harry seemed to perk up even more, excitement coursing through him at the words, the tone was honey in his veins, slow and sensual. "Where?" Harry asked, his breath was hitching with each breath Severus breathed onto the back of his neck. Severus grinned as he felt Harry's pulse jump. As their feet landed on the ground, Severus swept one leg over and whispered, "Follow me." as he swept out of the pitch, his robes billowing behind him like a black cloud. Harry sent the broom to the shed and called over his should, "You guys have a good night!" and rushed after Severus, oblivious to the shared chuckles behind him.
He caught up to Severus' flowing form and grabbed his arm stopping the taller man's forward movement. "Where?" He asked again, his eye beseeching. There was a need in Harry. Severus saw it for the first time, a need to do something, to be needed, to be achieving something. Severus would work to provide that in the future. "The Library. She said 'the Ravenclaw bust, you must look inside the library, in the place students must request permission.' I am assuming that would be the Restricted Section." Severus offered. Harry's eyes began to shine with a deep intelligence as he thought about that. Severus was caught off guard since intelligence was one thing he liked in others, rarely had it been something he found arousing as right now.
Harry caught the look and his eyes darkened a shade and he reached up and kissed Severus softly on the lips, "later, let’s get to the library." Harry reached for Severus' hand and tugged the Potion Master's arm to wrap around his waist and apparated them to the Library.
They walked up to the locked gate, Severus looked at Harry "I don't have my keys, they are in my rooms." Harry smiled while not letting Severus go and apparated them inside the gate. Severus just laughed. "The fun of being me." Harry mused. They each walked in separate directions looking over the shelves that held various types of busts, figurines and knick Knacks for book ends. Every bust was examined; Harry had an easier time as he was looking for someone who looked like Helena Ravenclaw. He found the bust in plaster, fully painted in great detail, her black hair hung low, her eyes bright blue and a beautiful complexion. "Found it!" Harry shouted out to Severus. The man flowed in next to Harry to examine the bust and nodded his assent. Before Harry could shrink and pocket the object, Severus moved Harry away down the shelves a bit and pinned him against them. With Harry's back to him, he had a perfect view of that neck that he wanted to taste. He stroke his tongue over the pulse that was beating there, it was rising with every breath he delivered. Harry's breath was growing more ragged and his body beginning to rage. Severus bit down on that pulse point, sending electric shocks through Harry's body down his spine, around and down to his toes making them want to curl, and a jolt right to the core of Harry's groin. "Sev..."Harry groan out loud. Severus pressed hard against Harry's back as he suckled on that vein, dragging it into his mouth, tasting it and letting it go again, only to move lower on Harry's neck. Harry pushed back, pressing his arse against the hardness he felt behind him. "Sev.. Please... Can I feel you in me this time?" Harry asked, his voice cracking with desire and fear. What if Severus didn't want that, what if what he asked for was too much?
Severus had no hesitation to the question posed to him, He growled in Harry's ear, a sound of possession, and passion. In seconds, Harry's heated body was cooled and was trapped against books and hardness from both sides. Severus wrapped his hands around his lover's waist, murmured a lubrication charm and stretching charm, while he continued to feed on the delicious skin of Harry's neck. Harry twitched under him, feeling the stretching, growing warmer with the anticipation and need. "Boys! Not my Books!" Hogwarts broke into their passion hazed minds. Harry groaned. Severus let go. Harry reached for the bust, took Severus' hand, and apparated them back to their bedroom. "Go away!" Harry shouted, wanting some privacy. "Gone..." was the lingering whisper in their heads.
Severus was a bit surprised by the events, but it did nothing to dampen his need for Harry. He reached for Harry once again and they melted together in a heated embrace. Severus took complete control, kissing Harry's mouth first, and then taking care with the rest of Harry's back and neck. Harry was so sensitive in those areas. Severus drank each mewl, cry, and moan. One of his hands reached down between them and began to knead Harry’s arse. It was so perfect, round and the flesh heated under his touch. He was sure they would both go up in flames one day. His deft finger found Harry's cleft and had Harry pressing back harder trying to gain purchase on Severus' finger. He let it slip slowly into the tight entrance and Harry bucked back further, impaling himself on that finger.
Harry's body was heated, the tingling sensation was floating in his veins, the single finger penetration sent a frenzy inside his blood. He needed more and pushed back trying to find more, not knowing what it was he really needed. He felt Severus remove his finger and shouted at the loss, only to be invaded by two fingers, stretching him in a wonderful way. "Please..." Harry cried, still needing more from his lover.
Severus bent Harry further over the bed, giving him the most beautiful view of Harry's arse, with both hands he parted the perfect cheeks and was given the gift of a clenching hole ready for him. He eased himself into the tightness. Both men felt the flames of passion, Harry burned in a pleasure and pain upon being filled, Severus had to control his breathing to keep from exploding at the building pressure. Severus wanted them to savor the moment, so he slid in and out of Harry at an agonizingly slow pace.
Harry reached out to grasp the sheets of the bed needing an anchor. Every slow thrust sent him closer to the edge of a cliff, his pleasure building slowly. Then Severus grabbed his waist for better stability and Harry felt his world explode as the next thrust hit something inside him. Colors burst in front of his eyes, his whole body sang with it, all the momentum that had been building inside his body was released and he was flying higher than when he was on a broom. He felt like his whole being fragmented in a burst of pure white heated pleasure and he cried out for Severus to join him.
Severus felt the new position hit something and upon Harry's release, his erection was caught in the most exquisite vice grip and all his thoughts were drained, his existence was centered on that one feeling as he pushed as hard as he could into the incredible tightness and let go, holding on to Harry as they collapsed and spurt after spurt of white hot seed spilled into his lover. Severus' mind was hazy, his body sated, and his lungs begging for air.
Severus started to breather deeper, trying to slow down his heartbeat. He moved his lips close to Harry's ear and whispered for the first time, "I love you Harry."
Tears started to fall from Harry's eyes. Joy filled his entire being. He turned both of them and scooted all the way onto the bed, dragging Severus with him into a more comfortable position. He wrapped himself around the taller man and just held on, while Severus held him.
Harry's whole world seemed small in comparison to the revelation that he was loved, for himself, by this man. The joy Harry felt seemed to grow and fill him. Those empty dark places were full, his heart was full and his world was right for the first time in 18 years. Severus had no idea the impact of his words, but he felt Harry relax in his arms, their breathing slowed and he called the blankets and settled in for a peaceful night.
