A/N: The bunny is back with one heck of a vengeance!
Chapter 2 Warnings: None. Harry's still 17 though.
Chapter 2: At Breakfast
Breakfast at the head table the next day had been an interesting event. The Gryffindor table had been abuzz, eventually drawing the attention of the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables, as well as some of the Slytherins. The gossip was loud enough to even reach the ears of the staff. Apparently, Harry Potter had admitted that a new gold ring spotted on a certain finger on his left hand, was in fact an engagement ring, but no one knew who had accepted the proposal.
Genevra Weasley looked on the verge of tears, and Snape had to admit some perverse satisfaction at that fact. True, Harry had never even noticed her attraction, but every doe eyed adoring glance she'd ever given Harry had set his teeth to clenching to bite back the snarling hexes he'd wanted to throw at her. She never even knew there was a competition, but that didn't stop him from enjoying his personal victory over the little chit.
Everyone was filled with speculation of who 'Mrs. Harry Potter' was going to be, since no one had even known he'd been dating anyone. Several girls were looking suspiciously at each other's hands for the incriminating evidence, while others were admiring necklaces, searching for a chain that might be hiding a ring from sight.
Snape smirked into his earl grey tea, no one suspected the truth. Not one would ever believe that Harry Potter, the savior of the wizarding race, the loudest, brashest, bravest, and most stubbornly headstrong Gryffindor the house had turned out since Godderic himself, preferred the company of men. Or that he would do anything to have someone take away the power the world had given him so that he could be what the rest of the world ignored... a 17 year old boy.
Severus gloated inwardly as Harry came into the Great Hall, looking for all the world as if he was completely unaware that half of the room somehow made it a point to look at his hand as he walked through. He didn't even try hiding the ring, which warmed something inside of Severus that the boy wasn't ashamed of them. When Ms. Weasley saw it she finally lost her composure and rushed from the Great Hall, and Snape debated adding that as one of the best memories he ever had. No matter who his fiancé was, Snape still loved making Gryffindors cry.
Ronald Weasley was sitting about as close to the head table as one could get, and Harry immediately sat across from him. The Granger girl was the next to show up and a great many of the whispers increased, apparently with Ms. Weasley out of the running, many thought that she was the one Harry had proposed to. She walked purposefully through the hall and still standing, she grabbed his hand.
"So it is true." She said, loud enough that Snape had the great satisfaction of watching everyone in hearing distance deflate. She could hardly be his fiancée if she hadn't even known about it. Quite the cunning move, Severus would have awarded points if she'd been in his house.
"Yes."
The potions master watched her reaction discretely. Her gaze briefly flickered to him, hidden from others, and when he merely raised an eyebrow in questioning challenge, she just sighed heavily before nodding at her friends and sitting down beside Harry as usual. "You just LOVE causing a stir don't you?"
The youngest Weasley boy looked slightly wary. "Aren't you even going to tell us who it is mate?"
Snape's heart jumped while the redhead was oblivious to the several people now attentively listening while trying to pretend that they weren't.
It wasn't that Severus was in any way ashamed of their relationship, Harry had been a legally consenting adult when they had first made love at the Black manor over the summer holidays, it's what he'd asked Severus for on his 17th birthday. Until then they had only shared kisses and chaste embraces since the boy had been 14, when he'd gone to give the boy a dreamless sleep draught after the disaster of the tri-wizard tournament and Harry, for reasons unknown to both of them, had clung to Severus and cried himself to sleep in his arms, begging him for some way to make it right.
They had been together ever since, first as a sort of mentor/ protege which had evolved into much stronger feelings over the years as they found more in common with each other. They were always discreet, never changing the way they had acted towards each other in public, although it was little surprise that his two closest friends eventually figured it out. It was good for Harry that they accepted it, but Snape really didn't care if they had their approval or not. Because what he and Harry had, he wouldn't let anyone take away.
However, there were reasons for it to remain a secret. Neither the age difference (now that Harry was legal), or the fact that they were both men were an issue in their world. But a teacher in a relationship with one of their students was still not favorably looked upon, whether the boy was considered legal or not. Nor would he live very long should the children of his 'allies', and soon after, Voldemort, learn that he was not the loyal Death Eater they all thought he was.
His thoughts were broken as Ms. Granger kicked the Weasley boy rather soundly in the shins while glaring.
"OW! What was that for?!"
"Because you are incredibly thick! Think about where we are. Do you really think he would tell you something that private HERE of all places? Besides, you probably can guess who it is."
"No I can- Aww GEEZE you're really gonna mar-"
"Silenco!"
The dual charm flew across the table from both Harry and Hermione, effectively silencing Weasley before he could say too much. Snape smirked and returned to his breakfast, he didn't wish to be caught looking at them too long.
"You idiot!" Hermione hissed. "You never think before opening that big mouth of yours do you? Harry doesn't want anyone else to know yet, right Harry?"
"Sorry Ron, but she's right, I can't have who it is getting around just yet, I mean we haven't even gotten a chance to tell our families."
Harry's smirk was simply devilish. As if he would ever care what the Dursleys opinion was about anything. If they ever found out, they would be the last ones to know.
"Oh stop glaring at us and eat your breakfast or I won't use the counter charm." Hermione sniped.
Harry had to stifle a chuckle as an indignant Ron silently tucked into his eggs and sausage. He leaned over and whispered quietly.
"Thanks Hermione."
"Anytime."
A/N: Well this plot bunny woke up, whipped around, and bit me in the ass. Hard. Somehow a one shot sex scene turned into a currently 11 chapter story with plot. Don't ask me how. Lucky you and lucky me. Seriously I'm just being held hostage by the plot bunny at this point, I have no idea where this is going. Don't know how long it's going to stick around, which is why I will write as fast as I can. Enjoy, and I will update as soon as I possibly can. Please Review!
