Chapter 17: We are Okay
Harry and Severus walked out of the kitchen; Severus had his arm around the younger man's shoulder and Harry with his arm around the older man's waist. It was a comfortable way to hold each other while going to see Doc. They were silent, each thinking quietly over what Becca said. When they entered the room they noticed everything had either been repaired or replaced and Doc was the only one in the room.
The healer was sitting at his desk as the two men strolled in with their arms around each other. He smiled when he saw them come in and wondered if Becca had been able to give them much information. He had given Kreacher the calming potions and figured they would still be in shock for awhile. He watched as Severus turned Harry to him just as they came through the doorway and kissed him with a chaste kiss that looked like it promised more later. Doc smiled in remembrance of his two good friends and he wondered how this new time line would be effected. He and the rest of the healers were like some of the others Becca had recruited, no family left and wanting to make a difference. The other half humans would go back to their magical communities in the new time line and help restore relations with the wizards as soon as the wizards came to their senses.
"So, how are my two patients doing? No thunderous rants I take it and no window shaking?" Doc knew well how Harry's power could get out of control if he let it. He had seen the destruction before, part of the reason the room had been decimated yesterday.
"You tell us Doc, you'd know better than we would." Harry said smiling as he hopped up on the desk. He was in a really good mood but didn't know why. Of course he didn't have Voldy in his head anymore and he was rid of the traitors and no more Dumbledore manipulations. That was enough to put him in a great mood. Things would be different now. Knowing about what really happened when he was only a year old helped too. He liked knowing what was going on and he liked getting answers. Becca had more answers that anyone had bothered to give him in five years at school. He hoped he could speak with her more and find out the rest.
Doc turned to Harry and looked first into his eyes and then at the scar on his head. He asked Harry "Does anything hurt or does the scar bother you?"
"Actually, I feel much clearer and lighter, as if a big weight was lifted and I no longer have headaches. I never noticed how much my head hurt all the time. It feels like freedom. I guess I didn't know how much pain was there until it was gone." Harry smiled back at the healer hoping he was expressing his feelings adequately. Severus was standing behind Doc and looked at Harry again as if for the first time. He really did look better, as if a black cloud had removed itself from his body. Essentially that is what happened, Voldemort was no longer in his head and it was the evil curse that was lifted, not to mention the blocks had their own cloud that had been removed. He even noticed how the bruising was rapidly disappearing, no doubt because his magical core was so much stronger. He, himself, had felt much lighter without the dark mark painting his skin and as he stood there he realized he also felt like a cloud had lifted. It was a very liberating feeling.
Harry was smiling as he spoke to the two men in front of him. "I have never realized how much I was being held back. It's a wonder I ever did well in school. I can't remember ever being this clear headed and pain free. I guess sometimes you live with something long enough you forget it's there and just work around it." His bright countenance looked at Severus straight in the eye. "I bet I could even do potions now without making a mistake."
Severus smiled back at his young lover and nodded. Harry looked like he could take on the world and win at this point.
"Well Harry, I can see your core is much stronger. I should tell you that your magical signature has also changed. When you and Severus used sex magic to boost your core, his core merged with yours and changed the signatures for both of you. If you had anything that was keyed into your magical signature you may have to make some adjustments. That's the reason the Ministry outlawed Sex Magic rituals in the first place. It changes your magical signature and they can't trace you until they get another fix on the new signature. In your case I would imagine you aren't really bothered about not being traceable."
"I guess that would be more of a problem for Severus than me, I don't have anything that requires my magical signature, in fact, I don't even have my wand." Harry turned to Severus and said with alarm. "Severus, I need to go back and get my things from Privet Drive. As much as I hate to think about going there, I need my wand and a few other personal things."
"Calm down Harry." Severus replied "Becca stayed behind when we were portkeyed out of there and collected your things. I suppose she forgot to give them to you, or hasn't had the time really, with everything else going on."
Harry looked visibly relieved and sighed. "Thanks, I don't want those people to get to my cloak and wand, nor my pictures and school books either. What about Hedwig?" He said getting worried again. Severus noticed his emotions were all over the place and wondered if that was normal for the amount of trauma he had gone through recently. He stepped forward to put his arms around his distressed lover.
"Don't worry love; we will go ask her when we are finished here."
"Okay, Doc, how am I doing?"
"I would say you are doing excellent all things considered. Your emotions should balance out in a few days. You seem to be going from happy to sad to worried back to happy all in the space of a few minutes. I would think this is from the cleansing of the evil that has been trying to take over since Voldemort's rise in your fourth year. Some meditation exercises should help. Perhaps Severus could show you a few. Are you sore anywhere or feeling any pain?"
"Doc, I don't feel pain anymore. I am a little stiff and sore but nothing unbearable. It has to be real pain for me to even acknowledge it."
"I don't think a mild pain potion would be out of order, so if you want one I'll get it for you."
"No thanks, I am doing just fine." He hated taking potions and only took them when forced. Harry then turned to his mate. "Come on Sev, let the Doc have a look at you too." The young man was back to cheerful.
"I feel fine Harry, I don't need a checkup."
"I had one so can you."
"You were in pieces yesterday and it took five healers, count them five healers, and over twelve hours and a magical ritual to put you back together. I don't need a check up."
"Yeah, but what can it hurt?"
"If I let him check, will it get you off my back?"
"Yep." The cheeky smile on the younger man's face made Severus huff exasperatedly with a quick wind of air and he took a seat in Harry's vacated spot. He didn't know what they were going to check but he would do this for Harry. The Doc looked into his eyes and started a scan on his arm.
"It looks like everything is alright. No ill effects from the removal of the mark? When you got that removed from you, you should have felt lighter, like Harry does."
"I do feel lighter and I also feel more connected to Harry although I don't know what one has to do with the other."
"That usually happens with the sex magic you used last night. It brings you closer so you feel more connected as you said." Doc explained. "You should start feeling more magical power from your core too. It seems you both received a boost in power last night. Also you have been compensating so much for the leeching of power that was going to Voldemort, you are producing the same amount of power but it's more focused within your core. Either way, you are definitely more powerful. You will want to watch the spell casting for awhile as you are getting used to it."
Severus nodded, he had felt it too. "Can Harry be released today?"
"Sure, he can be released and do anything he wants. He should take it a little easy for the next couple of days, but I think he knows that since he is still sore. His hormones may be a little off too given that, as you say, he was pregnant. His body may not have caught up to the fact that it is not hosting the fetus anymore and his hormones will need to settle down." Harry was relieved, this was not Poppy who would make him stay in bed even when he didn't want to and felt fine. He was sure if it had been her, he would have been tied to the bed for a week.
Doc gave Severus a pat on the shoulder and told him they were both free to go, but as they started to leave, he said, "You need to give Becca a chance to explain why we are here, ask her all the questions you might have and make a good decision based on all the answers. She truly wants to help." Severus looked the man in the eyes and found no deception in them. He nodded and left with Harry to find Becca.
They were still in those green pajama things Harry called scrubs and he wanted to see if they could get some proper clothes to wear. Actually though, Harry looked kind of cute in them, as he was walking behind the younger man on the way to the kitchen, he noticed how they clung to his Quidditch tight ass and he was sporting an erection before they reached the kitchen. Good thing, the shirt he wore was loose on him and hung down almost to his hips. As soon as they entered the kitchen, Severus sat down with a groan which made Harry jerk his head up and look at his lover.
"Is everything alright Severus?" Harry looked concerned and worried with those emerald orbs piercing through the older man's eyes. "You said that everything was fine when you spoke to Doc?"
"Harry, love, there is nothing wrong with me that you and a private room would not cure." Severus smirked and held his hand out to Harry. When the younger soulmate took his lover's hand, he was hauled out of the seat where he was currently perched and unceremoniously dumped into the older man's lap with his legs to one side so that Severus' 'little problem' was poking into Harry's outer thigh.
"Oh" Harry exclaimed with a wicked grin. "That's why you moaned." He started to squirm to get a reaction from Severus who retaliated by grabbing his face and pulling it in for a kiss. At first it was chaste and tender but as Harry wiggled again Severus slid his hand to the back of Harry's neck and licked the seam of his lips demanding entrance into the dark cavern. Harry smirked a little and slowly opened his mouth as the older man savagely plunged his tongue into his lover's mouth, tasting the sweetness that was uniquely Harry. This is what he wanted, Harry moaning at his touch. The passion then thundered though them like a tornado. The younger man moved a little off the professor's lap without releasing his mouth from the older man, but Severus made a grab for him again.
Harry was only repositioning himself for more friction on his own aching erection and needed more of Severus; more touching, more rubbing, just more of the man himself. Severus helped his younger lover to sit back on his lap, but this time chest to chest and as Harry spread his legs and straddled Severus' lap to get closer, their hips started to grind together as if in some primal dance and Harry called out in those sultry tones he used. "Severus' more... please more..." Severus having moved his mouth to his lover's neck answered without speaking, actions being louder than the mere words could say. He sucked and licked Harry's neck and just below his ears, eliciting an incredible response that had Harry whimpering and already incoherent babble escaping from his released mouth. The potions master moved one of his hands into the waistband of Harry's pants, moving his hand lower down his back and to that arse that had him so intrigued in the hallway. He squeezed the round orb and hissed as Harry pressed even closer so their erections rubbed together. Then without a single word, the potions master magically lubed and gently grazed his fingers down the crack between those twin muscular globes that formed Harry's arse. Slowly reaching for that pinnacle spot he knew would drive his lover over the edge.
Right there, Severus finally reached the little rose bud opening to Harry and watched as he yelped and jumped and ground harder into the older man's lap. Severus grinned wickedly and started sucking on Harry's neck again. As Severus rubbed over his young lover's treasure spot his mouth found that special place that drove Harry wild, just under his ear and listened to all the little mewling sounds coming from his former student. Now he was a student of something else and this was much better than teaching potions. As he felt the tightening in his own groin, he let one finger slip in just a half inch into the younger man and pulled the hips closer.
Taking Harry's mouth again he slid his free hand to the front of Harry's pants and went for the hard slightly smaller piece of manhood and gave it a squeeze before pulling the younger man more firmly in his lap as he quickly inserted two fingers, thrusting them into the tight opening making sure to hit the prostate they were aiming for. Harry keened and shouted "Sev" arching his back, and clamping down on the fingers inside him, panting his way through a powerful orgasm just as Severus released his own at the same time with a shout of "Harry!" Both men sat there for a few minutes Severus still hadn't removed his hand from inside Harry and they slowly came down from their orgasmic bliss. Harry laid his head on Severus' shoulder as the older man slowly pulled his fingers out of his young lover.
Harry moaned and whimpered but otherwise didn't move as he was totally sated. Severus held Harry close to keep him on his lap as they tried to steady their breathing, when their hearts started to beat normally Severus slid his hand under Harry's chin and made him look up into his face. "You are amazing." Harry blushed, a deep stain of red on his cheeks and tried to duck his head into Severus' neck again but the older man kept a firm hold and asked, "Are you still shy with me, love?"
Harry looked at his lover and shook his head and answered in a voice just above a whisper, "I just can't believe we just did that in the kitchen when anyone could come in." Severus did have to agree, they were not very careful, but at least they were still clothed. They need to clean up and he didn't know where his wand was and he knew Harry didn't have his either. They were going to have to go find out where their things were.
When Harry started to move, he scrunched up his face and whispered, " sticky, I need another shower." He thought about his missing wand and then thought about a cleaning charm and waved his hand. Immediately both of them were clean and there was no evidence in the room that they had done anything. Severus looked up surprised and noticed that Harry was just as surprised. "I didn't think that would work." Harry said, his voice full of wonder. "I remember Doc saying something about our powers, but I barely thought about the cleaning charm before it went into action." Harry grinned at his lover and added "This could really be great!" Severus just smiled indulgently and changed the subject, making a mental note to explore this new aspect of their powers more fully at a later time.
"We need to find out where Becca is and get our things. We also need to know what the next step is. You are not going back to the Dursley's and that means you will not be going back to Hogwarts. I can't believe what that old fool did to you and we need to make a decision on a plan of action."
With the reminder of how Dumbledore and his friends treated him and stole from him, Harry started to get very depressed and looked at Severus, tears welling up in his eyes. "I don't know what to do Sev. The man will not leave me alone and neither will Voldemort. Where can we go to get away from them both? How am I to fulfill the prophecy? Can't we just move to one of my other properties and stay away from everyone?"
"I don't think that will work, Harry." Severus responded with a sympathetic look, "No matter where you go the war will follow. Becca said the destruction is throughout the world and hits everywhere but we should just listen to her plan and although I do not want to take our son back in time to another war zone, I do not want to raise him in this war zone either. This one seems far worse and we may be able to help keep this war from becoming too destructive. As much as I have had enough, there are some things we can do if we go that far back. Maybe even save a few people. I know what Becca said about your parents, but what about Sirius? Maybe Longbottom's parents? There were others that have died that we can help too."
"Severus, I am so tired of the idiots that surround us. I, too, don't want to bring our baby into a war. In fact I really am not ready to take care of a baby, and I don't even know how to be a good parent. I've never had an example of a good parent to follow. At one time I would have said the Weasleys were the only successful parents I had ever met but that isn't true either. They stole from me so that isn't an example I want to follow. I don't know if I can do this. I'm too young to take on this responsibility too. What if I make a terrible father?"
"Harry, look at me." Severus raised his lover's chin so he could look him in the eye and see what he was thinking. He could almost feel waves of despair rolling off of the younger man. "We will be okay, Harry." When he tried to look away because he wasn't sure he could believe Severus, the older man pulled his face back and said again, "We will be alright Harry, believe me. Everything will work out." Severus tried to instill a look of truth and calm into his expression and hope he succeeded. Now, if only he believed it himself.
