Chapter 20

Harry sat in an unused corridor on the fourth floor in one of the few window seats, watching the rain and students as they rushed to the greenhouses or the barn that had been erected for the Care of Magical Creatures’ class.

He had one tail wrapped around his feet while the other swayed idly; he was pretending to do his missed assignments. He had one per class, since he seemed to be reasonably caught up in them.

Severus was teaching a fourth year Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff class; it seemed that Harry’s year wasn’t the only year that Dumbledore like to torture.

He gave a sigh as his mind went back to the sort confrontation he’d had with Hermione after Ron had been dragged away by his mother.

=^.^=

‘Harry!’ he turned to the voice, not really wanting to talk to the owner, but knowing it would be better to get is over with sooner, rather than later.

‘Oh, Merlin, I am so sorry,’ Hermione cried as she ploughed into him, sobbing uncontrollably into his chest as she tried to apologize.

Harry’s arms automatically came up to return the hug, causing her to sob harder, if that was at all possible.

He didn’t know what to say.

It took him a moment to figure out that Hermione was trying to talk to him, but not even his feline ears could decipher what it was she was trying to say.

Finally, she pulled herself away from Harry even as he pushed her away gently, she pulled a tissue from her robes and tried to clean them both up. Harry waved her off and ran a hand over his robes as he muttered a spell. Hermione always seemed to forget about the magic stuff when she was distraught or over emotional.

‘Oh, Harry, I am so sorry!’ she began again, ‘I shouldn’t have said and did the things I did. I should’ve followed you and not let Ron tell me anything or let him think for me. I was stupid to change for a boy when I didn’t need to, I’m sorry,’ she finished her rant and stared at Harry with wide, hope-filled, tear eyes.

Harry had thought that he had wanted to forgive and forget with Hermione, but watching her right this moment, he found that he didn’t think he could, not after everything she’d done to him, said to him, hadn’t done for him.

She had been like a sister to Harry, more than any of the Weasley’s had been brothers to him, and then she’d started dating Ron and they’d changed. More so Hermione than Ron but the changes had been so obvious. They’d started to leave him out of things and got angry with him for the littlest of things.

Their playful banter had turned to hurtful slander.

Harry had distanced himself from them, spending more time with Neville and Seamus, who had lost his best friend when Dean had been pulled from the school the year before because of the fighting.

He sighed, he could see the hurt and the regret in her eyes but he had been hurt too and so he stepped away from Hermione, letting go of her. ‘I’m sorry too,’ he said softly, before he turned and headed down to the dungeons.

Hermione watched Harry walk away, crying quietly, already mourning the loss of the best friend she’d ever had.

She felt a gentle hand on her shoulder and she turned to bury herself in Draco’s soft robes.

She hated Ron for turning her against Harry, when she should have known better.

She hated her classmates for not making her see her own stupidity.

Mostly, though, she hated herself, for letting Ron get to her the way he had. For not seeing her own stupidity for what it was.

She sobbed into Draco, letting him comfort her as best he could.

Draco sighed as he watched the pair. He didn’t blame Harry for walking away, for not forgiving Hermione. If someone had done to him what she’d done to Harry, he didn’t think he could forgive easily either.

He didn’t know what Harry would say to him. He and Harry had never been friends, in any sense of the word, but he was still worried that Harry wouldn’t ever want to speak to him. He knew they were practically brothers but that didn’t stop the worry from getting to Draco. He hoped, if nothing else, maybe he and Harry could start again.

The whole thing was so messed up.

He sighed and gave Hermione, what he hoped was, a reassuring squeeze.

=^.^=

Harry stood and stretched, feeling several something’s in his back pop. He didn’t know if he would ever forgive Hermione; she had belittled him, scorned him at every turn and then had kicked him and essentially tried to kill him.

He thought he might forgive her, one day in the future, when they weren’t students anymore and they had their own lives, when the hurt of betrayal had faded some, but not now.

He mentally went through his list of people he had to talk to.

Ron. Yep, he was glad he’d gotten that out of the way fairly quickly.

Hermione. Yep. It hadn’t been much of a conversation but she had had her say and he had said his.

Neville. Check. He had to smile when he remembered his talk with the other boy. Neville was one of the few that had never wavered in his devotion to Harry no matter what anyone, the newspapers or the other students had said about Harry and for that Harry would be eternally grateful.

He had talked with Lucius, Severus and Remus while he’d been going through this catastrophe, he snorted at his own bad humour, so he wasn’t too worried about them.

Seamus, Ginny and Luna had talked to Harry through Neville and he had their unwavering support as well.

The only person Harry really had left to talk to was Draco.

He wasn’t looking forward to that conversation at all.

=^.^=

Against Harry’s better judgement, he found himself back in his classes the next day.

‘Look at those ears.’

‘Does he have regular ears?’

‘He’s so freaky looking!’

‘Why does he have 2 tails?’

‘He’s so cute!’

‘He just wants more attention.’

By lunch time Harry was growling at people and by dinner, as he sat between Neville and Ginny, Harry had to suppress his desire to throttle/maim/hex the next person who called him a freak/too-adorable-for-words/attention seeker.

He had already tossed a few mild hexes at the Ravenclaws, who all seemed to be staring at him like he was something they wanted to slid under a microscope and dissect.

He glanced up at head table and caught Severus’ eye. When the man tilted his head and his lip twitched, Harry was brimming with joy.

Before Harry could say anything to anyone, Donnelly, the Defence professor fell from the ceiling.

‘No one’s ever done that before,’ Albus commented as he and the rest of staff and students watched as Donnelly stood and straightened himself.

‘That is IT! I’ve had it with this cockamamie school and it’s possessed and deranged students and teachers,’ he spun pointing a finger at Albus, whose eyes widen in surprised innocence, ‘you can find yourself a new defence professor. I quit!’ he announced before he spun on his heel and stormed from the Great Hall, giving all its occupants a perfect view of his bare behind.

Several students and professors began to snicker at the former Defence professor before he made it out of the hall. His glare, as he spun around oblivious to his predicament, had them all muffling their giggles.

The silence around the hall was broken when someone, Harry’s, giggle stole through the room and soon enough everyone was laughing at the professor.

He had been as incompetent as Lockhart and the students were glad to see him gone.

Albus stood, a few minutes later, as the laughter died down. ‘I would like to take this opportunity to announce that Remus Lupin and Lucius Malfoy will be taking over the roll as Defence Against the Dark Arts professors,’ he announced, waving his hand at the pair that were sitting on the other side of Severus.

All three men gaped at him, while several of the students clapped enthusiastically for Remus.

‘Well, that was unexpected,’ Lucius announced as he leaned back in his chair, his arm draped across the back of Remus’ chair.

‘Oh,’ Albus was half-way to his chair when he stood up again. ‘Due to Harry’s position as Professor Snape’s familiar, he will be spending the rest of his schooling in Professor Snape’s rooms.’

Harry’s grin nearly split his face in half and his tails fairly danced behind him, occasionally batting Neville or Seamus.

‘Good night,’ Albus offered as he sat down so he could finish his dessert, a lemon meringue pie that the elves made just for him.

=^.^=

Harry had settled in front of the fire to finish off his essays. Severus was trying to work on the article he wanted to submit for the next potions journal and Remus and Lucius were arguing over the lesson plans.

‘Why don’t you do it your way and I’ll do it mine and we’ll see who gets the better results,’ Remus stated rather coldly as he stood and gathered his things before storming out of Severus’ rooms.

Severus and Harry glared at Lucius who was staring at the door in stunned silence. Both wondering what was wrong, since neither one of them had seen or heard them argue over anything more than the colour of their robes.

‘All I said was that a monkey could make better lesson plans than these,’ Lucius said after a moment.

Severus calmly rolled up some parchment and started to beat Lucius over the head with it.

‘Ow! Ow! Ow! What? What? What!?’ he asked as he tried to shield himself from Severus’ assault.

‘You’re an even bigger dunderhead then the ones I have to teach,’ he stated with a scowl. He had gotten to know Remus much better over the last little while and he found he liked the quiet man a great deal.

‘Those are Remus’ lesson plans from when he taught us,’ Harry stated. He had gotten up to see what the plans were and recognized them from the brief time he’d had with the werewolf as a teacher.

‘Oh,’ Lucius replied, as he turned pink, even the tips of his ears.

‘I think this merits more than an “oh”,’ Severus stated, crossing his arms over his chest.

Lucius began to gather up his things, including the lesson plan, and headed for the door, ‘I’ll just be on my way, good night gentlemen,’ he said as the door closed behind him.

‘I know he’s your friend and all,’ Harry began, leaning against Severus who wrapped his arm around Harry-Kit’s waist.

‘But he’s an idiot,’ Severus finished, tugging the younger man onto his lap.

‘Yeah,’ Harry agreed with a chuckle.

‘Oh, uh, sorry,’ a voice said from the open door, ‘I’ll come back later.’

‘Draco,’ Severus called the blonde back, ‘you know you’re always welcome here,’ he added waving his godson into the room.

‘You’re door was open,’ Draco stated as he pointed to it, nervously.

‘That’s because you’re father is an idiot,’ Severus stated, still holding onto Harry-Kit, who squirmed uncomfortably.

‘What did he do now?’ Draco asked, moving a little closer to the pair.

‘He insulted Remus’ work, and Remus was understandably upset. They were going over Donnelly’s lesson plan which had been the lesson plan from the professor the year before, who had gotten from the professor before that, who had in turn gotten it from the professor before that, who was,’

‘Remus,’ Draco finished with an exasperated sigh as Harry was still trying to figure out the math. ‘When is that man ever going to learn?’ he asked rhetorically. ‘Which is why he’s out in the hall, begging with Remus,’ he finished.

‘That would be why,’ Severus agreed.

‘I’ll just go, get out of your way,’ Harry said softly, finally freeing himself from Severus’ clutches.

‘No, I’m sorry, stay, please,’ Draco blurted as he blocked Harry’s way, ‘you’re why I came today.’ He added hastily.

Harry blinked but regarded Draco with uncertainty as he tried several times to say something, but nothing seemed to want to come out.

‘Fuck it,’ he mumbled to himself, he stuck his hand out to Harry. ‘I’m Draco Malfoy, it’s nice to meet you,’ he said with a surprisingly friendly smile.

Harry raised an eyebrow, unconsciously mimicking the man behind him, and studied the blonde in front of him. He finally, much to Draco’s relief, accepted the hand, ‘Harry Potter,’ he replied, ‘you’re not related to the crazy man in the hall way, are you?’ he asked.

Severus laugh became a cough.

‘What?’

‘Please Remi! I’ll do anything you want for a week! I’ll rim your ass for two weeks, please!’ they heard him shout in desperation. Draco had left the door open as well; there wasn’t much traffic in this part of the dungeons so Severus wasn’t really worried.

‘Oh, him, no, I have no idea who he is,’ Draco replied with a straight face.

‘Professor Malfoy, there are young children about!’ they heard McGonagall admonish out in the hall.

‘What does “rim your ass” mean?’ they heard a young student ask.

‘So I hear you’re good at Transfiguration,’ Draco stated, choosing to ignore what was happening in the hall, Harry nodded. ‘Could you, maybe, explain it to me, in plain English?’ he asked, his ears turning pink.

‘Sure, meet me in the library after class tomorrow,’ Harry replied easily.

Draco nodded, ‘thanks, I should get back to the dorms,’ he explained. ‘Good night Harry, Uncle Sev.’

‘Good night, Draco,’ they chorused as the blond headed out to the Slytherin dorms.

When the pair was finally alone, Severus tugged Harry onto his lap again, loving the feeling of Harry’s weight on his legs and the heat that the younger man practically radiated.

‘I know I had promised to wait until you graduated before we take this relationship any farther, but I find myself greedy and selfish. I need to be with you, to be a part of you as soon as you’ll have me.’

Harry could only stare at Severus in hopeful confusion.

Yeah, yeah, I know. :P
