Chapter three – At the Ministry

Harry rose from his kitchen chair to open the window and let in the owl that happened to be Percy´s. “Can´t even wait one bloody hour before I get in.” He mumbled as Achilles swooped in and landed dangerously close to Harry´s breakfast. He took the letter, offering a piece of bacon in return, which the animal of course refused, before it took off again. Harry closed the window. “As up-tight as the owner.” He stated to himself before opening the letter and read it. Or used to be, Harry had to be honest with himself, that Percy had changed, or maybe he had just shown Harry the real Percy, and he also had to admit to liking this Percy.

He groaned. Another bloody murder and it´s only been three weeks since the first one. Well, they were stuck on the case; a dead end, so to speak – murder case humor at its best. They had not been able to track down a single witness to either murder so far. Well he can bloody wait until I finish my plate and my shower too, not like the body´s going anywhere. Harry chuckled at his own jokes, before finishing up, and Kreacher took the plate he left behind when he went upstairs to get ready.

Zacharias Smith was a popular man even back at Hogwarts; tall, nicely built, handsome, wealthy, and powerful, and he had the kind of personality that could make anyone forget his mistakes. He was the type of man that could use his charm to sweet talk everything out of everyone, well, almost everyone. Harry had never trusted the man, he was simply too smooth, too perfect, and his smile had a weird sort of falseness to it. Yes, Harry didn´t like him at all, but that didn´t mean he should have been strangled either.

It was a curse that slowly burned and crushed every bone in his neck, making sure he could not sweet talk his way out of been murdered, of course Harry didn´t know if this was why the murderer had chosen this particular spell with Smith, but it made sense. Just like it made sense that Goyle had his soul sucked out violently, slowly and very painfully, from his body – the murderer might have been on to something when claiming that Goyle lost his soul, the moment he handed in his own son to the Ministry to get years off his own sentence. Not to mention McNair´s murder, the man was known to slay animals for a living; Harry only had to think back to Buckbeak to remember that.

According to Percy, a Dark spell was used on Smith too, leaving no physical traces behind. He was murdered by his own wand on top of that, which meant no magical traces either.

“This means that the killer knew him Perce, if he could get close enough to use his own wand against him.” Harry concluded after returning to his office from the crime scene at the Magical Law Department where the victim had worked. “This case is weird. Three victims, who were all considered supporters of Voldemort, with or without the Dark Mark.”

Smith was never proven a follower of Voldemort, it was simply a rumor. Percy studied Harry for a moment before speaking. “It would have to be a strong man too, it takes a lot of effort to perform that spell and walk out of the crime scene unnoticed afterwards. You should add that to the list.” Percy and Harry had made a list of the suspect after the second murder, before they decided to play Truth or Dare, of course. Percy had passed out on Harry´s couch that night and Harry had woken up to a full breakfast the next morning. He had to admit spending that time with Percy had been nice.

Suspect characteristics
1. Pureblood
2. Male
3. Smart
4. Knowledge in Dark arts
5. Death eater hatred
6. Connected to Aurors at Azkaban
7. Animal lover
Harry scribbled down the word ´strong´ and glanced at the list again. “And the note left behind this time is really something too.”

´Giving power to the wrong ones can be fatal in the end – Smith acts like a young Voldemort.´

“V-Voldemort is rumored to have been very much like Smith, so we are dealing with someone extremely clever when it comes to Death eater background knowledge.” Percy said, taking a sip from his tea. “I don´t like this Harry, everything about this screams Ministry employee.” Harry nodded solemnly while biting into his bottom lip.

Without thinking about what this sort of gesture would mean, Percy leaned in and gentle pulled Harry´s lip away from the teeth molesting it. “Don´t do that. You´ll make it bleed.” Harry´s body tinkled slightly from the touch. That had to have been caused from me being startled, and not Percy´s touch, surely. Harry shook his head and tried to focus on the case once more.

“Did you get mom´s owl about rescheduling this week´s dinner to today?” Percy said conversationally when they had both been quiet long enough.

“Yeah – they were going to your aunts this Sunday, right?” Percy nodded in agreement. “I don´t have any plans, so I´ll be there.”

You have to let him know how you feel, enough with the hiding. “Fleur and Bill will stay at home, with the birth coming up soon they don´t want to risk it.” The redhead replied.

“Yes, of course. Can´t believe they´re having number two already. Did you hear Angelina is also expecting?” Of course he knows, it´s George´s wife, you dimwit. Why are you acting like this? It´s Percy for Merlin´s sake.

“It will be nice for him to shift his focus, after Fred… he took his death the hardest.”

“Yeah, I know. Do you think Seamus and Ginny will be there, I owe her money from a stupid bet she won?” Harry grinned, he really should stop betting Ginny on Quidditch results, and how she always managed to win those was beyond Harry.

Percy laughed. “Don´t see why not. Do you ever win against her?”

“No. She´s a bloody pain that one.”

Harry knocked at the old wooden front door and drew in a deep breath like always when coming here. Harry made sure to either visit or floo-call him a least once a week, which the other had not been pleased with for the entire first year. After that year, the other had seen that Harry meant what he said when wanting him in his life as one of the most important people. He was his only link to his parents now that Remus and Sirius had both died in the war, but that wasn´t why Harry still spent time with the man, he had come to care for him over the last couple of years.

The door opened and Harry smiled. “Hey you, did you miss me?” He winked. He actually winked at Severus Snape whose eyebrow chose to rise.

Harry´s smile turned into a grin forcing Severus to cave as he always did. He had turned into a fucking softy when it came to the son of Lily Potter. “Come in – brat,” and Harry did, and as soon as the door closed and Severus turned around, Severus found himself smothered into a warm embrace, which he out of habit returned, knowing that was the only way to get Harry to release him again. Whom was he kidding? He liked hugging Harry, Merlin; he even liked Harry by now. Of course, he had turned into a remarkable man, so unlike his father, thank god.

“I won´t be long today Sev, I only have a few questions about who might have been a supporter of Voldemort without wearing the Mark.” Severus was used to Harry coming to talk about cases with him, well, the things Harry was allowed to discuss anyway. Harry had made sure after the war, that Severus was cleared of all charges, was rewarded an Order of Merlin and was a very well-paid brewer at the Ministry, that way Severus could still work and enjoy his solitude. If one considered being hunted down by Weasleys, Order members and what not every damn week, solitude. That, much to Severus´ own surprise, he had come to enjoy too. It was really amazing what not being a spy anymore could do to you, and your mood.

Harry went into the kitchen to make tea for them, and didn´t see the smile on Severus´ face - it was the same as always when Harry went about inside his house and did what he wanted, it was almost like having a son. Harry glanced at the older male and smiled back, and after a while, he spoke. “Are you ever going to admit you love me?”

“Not even if someone paid me.” Came the quick retort. Harry laughed.

“Well, I love you, you know. Have been for the last two years I guess. You´re like the father I never asked for.” Harry ducked when Severus´ hand missed swatting the back of his head, like it used to when he was still in school whenever Ron and he were in trouble. Harry laughed again.

“Ron and Mione says hi.” Severus nodded, which meant that Harry should say hi back. “You will feel better when it´s out in the open.” He said after a moment of silence.

“I see the Auror training has finally made your head injuries pop out in the open.” Harry leaned against the counter with his cup in his hand.

“Sev?” Harry ignored the reply.

“Mm?” Severus sipped his own cup of tea. He met Harry´s eyes, full of mischief.

“I love you.” Harry grinned when Severus cursed.

“Do you have a death wish?” Harry´s eyes widened, it wasn´t said in a threatening tone. Severus sighed. “Everyone I ever said those words to are dead.”

Harry shrugged. “Well, getting the ice king to melt would be a perfect way for me to go, I think.” The hand was back and this time it didn´t miss its mark and Harry winced. “Alright, I´ll lay off it. I know you don´t deal with emotions in a good way; I just wanted to make sure you knew. This case freaks me out a bit, I mean they´re all Death eaters - I never told you before, is all.”

“Brat,” Severus started. Harry finished his tea in one gulp and nearly choked on it when Severus´ next words hit his ears. “I love you too.”

Harry coughed one last time. “You´re not just saying it because I said it?” Severus´ brows furrowed, and Harry knew the answer and he grinned.

“So, the case?” Severus required.

“Right, can I borrow some parchment?” Severus went to retrieve it immediately.

“Should we use the floo to my flat?” Percy asked nervously, when Harry had finally returned to work later that afternoon.

“No, I´m parked outside, you can ride with me. I need the air to clear my head.”

“Parked?” Percy asked appalled, as they walked towards the main exits, but Harry didn´t answer him until they reached the surface and Percy had his answer. He gasped. “I will not get on the Motorcyclus, it´s abysmal and deathly.”

“Motorcycle Perce, and only if one crashes and I don´t plan to.” Unless you keep talking like that. “Helmet on Perce.” The redhead stuttered but began mounting the damn metaled monster behind Harry; he made sure his grip was firm, not caring if Harry realized how scared he was. Harry grinned and started the engine. Percy nearly jumped from the vibrations he was now receiving throughout his body. Maybe I could get used to this, he reasoned, when he felt his dick stir.

And with that they took off.

After the motorbike ride had ended and Percy jumped off, body still shaking from Harry´s insane riding it, he said; “How you have managed to stay alive thus far is beyond me Harry!”

“It´s quite easy actually, I keep breathing, and occasionally add water and food to the equation.” Percy blinked at Harry´s witty comment.

*

“So, Smith was a Death eater then?” Percy asked Harry, when they were in Percy´s flat of perfection. It was clinically clean, every picture frame matched, the books on the shelves were alphabetized, the furniture were kept in dark shades, while everything else was white, red or lime. From the way Percy had arranged his living room, everything matched. Harry stretched out on Percy´s couch, not even earning a raised brow from the other man in return. Yes, Percy had certainly changed over the past weeks that Harry had worked with him; he was quite pleasant and fun. Harry had even taken to understanding most of Percy´s phrases of speaking.

“Jup, Sev told me about his involvement with them, it´s in my report.” Harry yawned lazily. “Gosh, I need a nap or something before going to the Burrow, I should head home.”

“Or you could sleep with me?” Harry sat up so fast that his head began to spin. Percy flinched when he realized his own odd phrasing. “I meant, I would like to rest too, I was up most of the night because of the neighbors’ fighting. It was three before I remembered being a wizard and cast a Block-Out spell.” Harry laughed when seeing Percy´s flushed face.

“You, made a mistake? The great Percy Weasley, king of perfection?”

“There´s no such thing as perfect.” Percy tried to argue.

“But you come pretty darn close to being it.” Harry stated bluntly, not really comprehending what he had just hinted.

“If anyone is perfect it´s you.” Percy could be blunt too, sometimes. Harry blinked and blushed too, when Percy´s eyes bored into his. When did he become so intense?

“You really don´t mind that I borrow the couch then?” Harry swallowed and looked at the wall awkwardly.

“Don´t be absurd, my bed is large enough for the both of us.” Percy rose to his feet. “We went camping every summer when you were at Hogwarts with my family. It won´t be the first time we slept so close together.”

“We were kids then; well I was, at least.” Percy smiled down at him.

“Now who´s the Hufflepuff Harry?” And then Percy went into his bedroom to lie down on top of the bed in his clothes, no need to undress for only an hour or so. Harry sat there blinking for a few moments. It´s sleeping, where´s the harm in that? It´s not like it´s sex or anything. He got up while biting his lip, if Percy of all people can act all Gryffindor about this, so can I – I killed a lunatic after all!

Forty minutes after Harry had fallen asleep next to Percy without trouble, Percy jerked awake from Harry´s thrashing about, specifically when the younger man´s arm hit Percy square in the face. The redhead glanced at Harry´s form; he was having a nightmare. “Harry,” Percy gently poked him, knowing how dangerous it could be to wake up someone up from bad dreams, who had magical abilities. “Harry, wake up,” he said again when there had been no reaction at all.

Percy moved closer to the other male, Harry was sweating, and twisting and tossing his fit body around. This is not the circumstance I wanted to see you sweating in my bed, wake up love. “You need to wake up, it´s okay, I´m here with you. I won´t let anything happen to you. Please wake up Harry.”

Someone is calling for me. His voice is so soft, so gentle and he wants to keep me safe. I´m always the one speaking those words to others, it´s nice to hear them said back. He must be close, I can smell him, smells nice, so it can´t be Ron, he always reeks of garlic. A hand touched Harry´s face gently, as if searching for something. Harry had to moan from the tickling feeling the hand was causing on his bare skin. “Is nice…” He mumbled. Percy startled, but never stopped the caressing, soothing circles.

Harry´s body had stopped moving, and he lay completely still under Percy´s touch. If someone were to come in right now, they would see Percy´s hands shaking with nerves and maybe even a slight blush painted across his facial features. “Don´t stop… so good…” Harry begged, and Percy´s cock twitched. If I continue, I will do something stupid and if I speak, he will wake entirely.

“You had a nightmare Harry, you´re alright now.” Harry´s eyes slowly opened, and Percy was bathed in a sea of green. Harry tried to speak a couple of times, when noticing how close they were, or when realizing that it was Percy, that was touching him this way. Why, am I not disgusted with this? Why am I not stopping him? This is not supposed to happen, it´s Perce, he´s Ginny´s brother and he´s, Percy. Harry´s hand rose to claps over Percy´s without permission, and Percy´s eyes widened by this act, his breathing quickened too. I can´t possible want to kiss him, can I? Harry´s mind was racing away in deep thoughts when Percy spoke again.

“We should get ready to go to my parents´.”

“Is that what you want to do right now Perce?” Harry rasped out in a crispy voice he didn´t know he had himself, and not really meaning to say that at all. He blinked.

“What I want doesn´t matter Harry,” and then Harry felt cold, so very cold, when Percy rose from the bed to take a quick shower.

My god, I nearly kissed him, what the fuck is wrong with me? I never kissed a bloke before, I never wanted to kiss one before either, and come on, Percy would not be my choice? We couldn´t be more different. I´m blunt, he´s withdrawn. I´m a man of action, he prefers to use theory to capture criminals. I enjoy social events with friends and family, Percy hates them. We´re complete opposites.

Percy chose that moment to exit the bathroom linked with the bedroom and Harry nearly broke his jaw as it dropped, when he saw Percy wearing a towel around his hips only. His chest was all muscles, he didn´t have any chest hair, but he did have a red trail of it leading towards –

“You can use the shower now if you want, there should still be hot water left, I took a quick one.” Percy interrupted his flow of words pouring around inside his confused brain. Opposites have been known to attract. Harry swallowed. Harry didn´t think he could speak, so he chose to run to the bathroom and closed the door after him louder than he normally would have.

Dear god, I´m attracted to Percy.

I posted a day early due to lack of time tomorrow – so I thought I´d rather post Sunday than Tuesday!

Kain: I worked hard on the little gestures that changed when they were around each other, so glad somebody noticed that! Yeah, I don´t like that most think Harry is blind, he will not be that in my story, ha ha. I envy Percy, being able to ogle Harry *sighs* Thank you so much for that nice compliment, I had trouble plotting how to add all of those things, but I think I succeeded fairly well. Yeah, who wouldn´t want to fuck a Malfoy if they were given the chance? I wonder if we ever find out who and why? Funny you should mention students – well, maybe not funny, but… And there will be a bit about the public´s opinion in a later chapter, though not much! Thanks for reviewing!
AnonymousTigress: So glad you like it! I will keep it up – and I hope you´ll like the other four chapters to come also.
Lanie: Thank you honey, so happy you also like this one. Yeah, poor Percy though, having to look at Harry´s half-naked form and not be able to touch it! He, well, for me, Percy is fairly easy to portrait I think, so I just go with it, and it leads me to funny places ;-) Well, Harry has always been a bit slow at first but then, when it finally hits it hits like BAM, and he jumps right in there, doesn´t he? So I wonder how that will go? Is Percy the type to turn to Junior or Senior Malfoy, or was it the other way around, I wonder? Well, I will be a while before Percy will collect on his favor from Harry ;-)
Thank you so much for taking the time to review my little story ;-)
I am going to add an Epilogue to this story, seems only fair – so there will be three chapters still and the Epilogue.
Did anyone figure out who the murderer is yet?
