******Dream********
Harry was sitting on a couch in a familiar sitting room snuggled up to a person who had his arm around him while he read. "You know, I could really get used to this." Harry whispered to the ebony haired man at his side.
"I do not do snuggling, cuddling or anything resembling those abysmal show of emotions." was the reply he got.
"Well, we'll just have to change that, now won't we?" Harry smirked as he leaned up to capture those delightful lips before the snarky retort came out. This was his undoing as he was pulled up into the man's lap when he deepened the kiss.
**scene change**
Harry was nestled on a lean muscled chest with his arm around a narrow waist.
"You know, I could really get used to this." was whispered into the top of his head.
"I knew you would, Sev." Harry replied as he looked up into obsidian pools full of something he couldn't quite put his finger on.
"Harry, I have asked you not to call me that. I do not do nicknames." Severus glared at Harry.
"Sure. Just like 'you do not do snuggling, cuddling or anything like..."
"Harry!" Severus cut him off.
"But you did say..."
"Harry!!" he was cut off again.
"Oh alright, already." Harry sighed. "But you're the one who..."
"HARRY, YOU'RE HERE!!!" Ron's shout had woken Harry up from his dream.
"Ron, you don't have to yell, you know. Now even Voldemort knows where to find me." Harry growled at the redhead for waking him in such a way.
A few seconds later, the door burst open. No, not Voldie. Just Hermione.
"HARRY, YOU'RE HERE!!!" Hermione shrieked as she flew into the room. "I came as soon as I heard Ron's yell. I have so much to tell you! First, would..."
"Uh, Hermione, could we get dressed first, please?" Ron had cut her off as he dove for cover to hide his state of undress (worn red boxers with snitches on them and a white tee).
"Oh! Sure. No problem. I will just see you guys downstairs. Dressed." Hermione had turned redder than Ron's boxers and was backing out the door as quickly as she could without tripping over something.
"Girls are so weird", Ron muttered as he got his clothes out and on as fast as he could.
"Good to see ya, Harry. Don't take too long coming to breakfast. With everyone here there won't be any food left." Then Ron disappeared through the door.
'Hmmmm, he didn't even ask how my summer has been so far. Seems that he's losing his touch at acting or just doesn't care anymore. One more thing to talk to Hermione about. Oh well! Better get ready for the day.' Harry gathered his things and went to take a long, hot shower to help him get ready for a busy day celebrating his birthday Weasley style.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
By the time Harry had finally gone into the kitchen for breakfast, it was empty except for Hermione and Ron. As soon as he walked in, Hermione jumped up and hugged him.
"Happy Birthday, Harry! I am so glad you're here! Sorry about earlier. I just have so much I need to talk to you about. Especially since Ronald says he doesn't want to hear about "that stuff". I mean, it's not like I'm pregnant. It's only sex after all." Hermione casually said as if talking about the weather.
Harry noticed the grin spread across her face as Ron turned red and quickly got up and left without a word.
"You did that on purpose!!! I know you are saving it for true love. Just like I am." Harry managed through his bales of laughter.
"Yeah, I know. But, it is so much fun to see how many different shades of red he can turn. Do you think he will ever catch on that we know how he really feels about being your friend?" Hermione asked, suddenly serious.
"I have no idea. But he is slacking in his enthusiasm. Didn't even ask me about my summer so far." was Harry's response as he thought back to a day before that term ended when Neville approached him.
**flashback**
"Umm, Harry. Can I talk to you for a bit?" Neville asked hesitantly. Everyone knew Harry was distraught over what he was having to deal with. With losing Sirius, the war and everything else a magical teenage boy goes through.
"Maybe later."
"Please, Harry!? It's important." Neville pleaded.
"Ok, what?" Harry really did NOT want to talk to anyone.
"Well, you see.... The thing is...." Neville tried to start.
"Just spit it out or go away, Neville"
"Sorry Harry. I just don't know how to tell you this. You see, I overheard Ron talking to someone I couldn't see because it was dark. He was talking about how much he hated pretending to be your best mate. And that he couldn't wait until You-know-who was gone so he could finally be free of you for good. The scary thing about it was the other person started laughing at that. I'm so sorry Harry. We all believed he truly did care."
Harry just looked at Neville gobsmacked at the idea his first and best friend really hated him. He needed to talk to Hermione just to make sure she really was his friend.
Hermione almost couldn't believe what she was hearing Harry say.
Then, she thought about it a minute. "You know Harry, it all makes sense now. A true friend would not have gotten so upset with you because of the goblet situation. Someone put him up to being your friend." she said bluntly.
"Oh, Harry. I am so sorry. I didn't mean it like that. Forget Ronald Bilius Weasley. We don't need him!! We can get along just fine without him. I didn't have to be coaxed into being your friend. Don't worry, Harry. I love you just the way you are." Hermione quickly said once she saw the pained look on her friends face.
******end flashback******
As Harry sat lost in his thoughts, Remus Lupin walked in. Almost immediately, he noticed the scent of vanilla mixed with honeysuckle. He knew what this scent meant. His mate.
'After all these years, now I get to find my mate!! But, who could it be? The only ones in here are Harry and Hermione. OH HELL!!! I really, really hope it isn't Harry. I love him like he was my cub. Well, there's only one way to find out.'
"Hey cub, Happy Birthday. Hermione." Remus greeted as he finally made his way to the table. The scent getting stronger the closer he got to Hermione.
"Hi" Hermione said at the same time Harry greeted him with a " 'lo Remy".
"Uh, Hermione, Fred and George are doing a bit of research they would like some help with. Interested?"
"You're kidding, right? Hermione is NEVER interested in doing research. She's only top of the class because she has slept with all the teachers." Harry could only hold his face straight for a few seconds after he saw the scandalized look on her face. As he looked over at Remus, Harry noticed that he looked thoroughly pissed.
"Hey, Remy, what's up? Why do you look like I just insulted your mother?" Harry asked afraid he had offended the man he saw as a father.
"You shouldn't talk about your friends like that, young man!" Remus playfully admonished, trying to hide his true feelings from them.
"It's alright, Professor. We don't have to hide it anymore. Harry has obviously known since third year about it. So, you don't have to deny it any longer." was Hermione's reply as she gently stroked her had down the cheek of the man she has had a crush on since her third year. She grinned at Harry as Remus started to blush, mouth gaping like a fish out of water. Seeing that she was only teasing, Remus smiled at the two. Then, that glorious smell hit his nose again and suddenly felt like it was 150 degrees in the kitchen.
"Are you going to leave The Twins unsupervised in a room full of books, or are you going to help them?" asked the werewolf, trying to remain calm. His wolf was getting restless; It wanted its mate! NOW! It took all of Remus' willpower to keep the wolf down with his mate this close. Remus knew he couldn't just claim her. Hermione was a full human. He wanted, no, needed to get to know her personally BEFORE he jumped her. Once that was accomplished; watch out, Granger!!!
"Oh, no! Please tell me you did not leave those two alone anywhere near one book, let alone several?" was the last thing Harry and Remus heard as Hermione disappeared through the kitchen door.
"So..." said Harry eying Remus suspiciously.
"So, what?"
"So, why did you want to get rid of Hermione? I know what research the twins are currently doing and you could have helped them a lot more than she can." Harry asked, smiling at the stunned look on Lupin's face.
"You could, too!" Remus smirked.
"Ah, yes. I could very easily tell them who Padfoot, Prongs, Wormtail and Moony are. But, where is the fun in that!!" laughed Harry.
"I agree with you there, cub."
Harry looked expectantly at Remus who was squirming uncomfortably under the emerald green gaze.
"After all these years..." he started, "I have finally found my mate." There he had said it out loud.
"Oh Remus!!! That's so wonderful!!" Harry launched himself at the last Marauder; engulfing him in a bear hug (I know a werewolf in a bear hug is just so wrong!).
A thought suddenly hit Harry. "Remy, you aren't a virgin, are you?" he asked as he sat back down. Remus blushed at the blunt question his adopted godson had just asked him.
"No, Harry. Werewolves can have sex with whomever they choose. But, only until they find their mate. Then, the wolf will only accept their mate as a partner." He watched Harry to make sure he understood before he continued. "I have had sexual partners in the past, as I feared I would never find my mate. Which, now I have." Remus took a deep breath. "And, it'sHermioneandbythewayIneedyourhelpwinningherover."
A confused Harry stared at his godfather while the words sank in.
He slowly rose from his chair, walked over to Remus, pulled him up out of the chair...and kissed him.
"Congratulations! I will help you. But, know this. If you hurt her, you will deal with me." Harry said with a smile. Truly happy for them both. Even though Hermione had no idea. Yet. He couldn't wait to see the look on her face when she found out.
Speaking of Hermione, she chose that moment to walk back into the room. Stopped just inside the door and glared at both men.
"If you wanted to talk privately, you could've just asked me to leave. You didn't have to do THAT to me."
"Sorry, Hermione" was the reply from both.
"It's alright. I took care of EVERYTHING."
Remus and Harry both paled at the evil smirk on Hermione's face. It made Malfoy look like an angel. Just then, the door opened again. In walked the Twins.
"Oi, Harry!" Fred started.
"How could you, mate?"
"Our real friend..." both putting an arm around Hermione's shoulders.
"...tells us you have known..."
"...since your third year..."
"...who the Marauders are." George finished as they both looked at
Remus in mock hurt.
"Guys, it wasn't my secret to tell." was Harry's response.
"We know" both said in unison as they grabbed Remus and pulled him out of the room.
"You have to..."
"...tell us all..."
"...about your..."
"...pranks!!" was chorused as the three disappeared through the door.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other smiling. After a few minutes of silence, Harry suddenly turned serious. "Hermione, I have something I need to tell you."
"Sure Harry. Whatever it is, just know that I will always be here for you. No matter what." Hermione told him as she stood up and gave him a big hug.
"Good. I'm so glad I have you." Harry whispered into her bushy hair.
Pulling away, Hermione looked at him expectantly. Harry, seeing the sincere look in her eyes, knew everything would still be good between them once she was told.
"I am in love with Snape. Before you say anything, I know better than anyone what a bastard he is. But, it doesn't matter. I know I love him." Harry stated firmly.
"How can you be sure it's love, Harry?" she gently asked. Hermione could tell this was important to Harry.
"By the way I feel the tingling in my skin whenever he is near; by the way my whole body catches fire when he looks at me; by the way his hands move in a sensual dance when he is making a potion, or grading essays, or even writing instructions on the board; by the way he arranges all his food a certain way on his plate with nothing touching; by the way..."
"OK, I get it," Hermione cut in laughing. "If you're sure, you have my support. But if he ever hurts you..."
"Thanks, but you won't have to bother with that as I don't think I stand a chance. He hates everything about me, remember?" sighed Harry.
After several moments of not knowing exactly what to say to that, Hermione thought she would distract him for a bit.
"I can't wait until everyone gets here tonight. I know it hasn't been a very long, but I miss everyone already." Hermione practically squealed.
"Wait. Wait. Wait. What are you talking about, everyone gets here?" asked Harry confused.
"Oh, you did not know about your own party, Potter? Please, let us not be modest. YOU most likely helped the Headmaster plan it and send out invitations." was sneered from the door.
"No, Professor Snape, I didn't know." Harry protested. He could feel his face flush as he looked at the man, he had recently realized, he has been in love with for more than a year now.
"Well, then. I guess this day is just full of surprises for everyone, is it not?" Severus snarked at him.
"What, exactly, is that supposed to mean?" Harry asked through clenched teeth. Love or not, the man was annoying at times.
"It means, Potter that I have arrived after a meeting with the Headmaster. It would seem he feels that your 'remedial potions' class should resume." hissed out Snape.
"WHAT!? When is that supposed to start?" Harry asked. All of the sudden, he wasn't angry anymore but, looking forward to spending time alone with his love. Even if Severus was a bastard to him.
"Tonight after the festivities. Be prepared. Also, I will be accompanying you to Diagon Alley in the morning to procure your school supplies. The headmaster feels it would be safer if you went without a flock of redheads surrounding you drawing attention. 7 am. sharp be in the kitchen ready for the day. Find me, as soon as your last guest has departed tonight, for your lesson." With that said, Severus turned and strode out the door. Robes billowing behind him.
"You never know Harry. I think he just might give you a chance." Hermione said as she sat back down.
"Right and I might grow a unicorn horn and violate virgins!" said an exasperated Harry as he flopped down into his own chair.
