Harry decided to read through lunch having and elf bring him a small plate of food when the bird tapped on the window and he let it in. Harry was smiling from the quick reply and read the letter. At least he was making headway with the man. Harry wasn't sure how he could fully gain the man's trust, but he intended to. He had skimmed through most of the first book, gaining some more ideas. Soon he would need to ask permission to court him, if he was going to continue down this road. Harry found he was excited for the first time in quite a while. It was doing him good to actually smile. He wanted to go to Hogsmeade today but decided he would go to Diagon Alley instead. He wanted to walk the streets and just think, and of course pick up a few things for his love. He knew that Snape was probably not used to being given gifts that had thought put into them and Harry intended on showering him. What else was he gonna do with the huge fortune he had. He let his mind wander to Voldemort gone and him and Snape buying a house together. He shook it from his mind and packed up his things, going to the dorm room to change before flooing to Diagon Alley and tapped the bricks as if it was yesterday that he was here with Hagrid. Harry browsed, his glamour fully set, and found a few things he figured that would be a wonderful addition. Shirking his packages, he went to get some food before heading back, he had been shopping all day. And he missed dinner, it was getting where the sun turned the sky orange and pink. Harry loved the sunsets. He entered the pub and scanned it, trying to hide his recognition of the man. He had seen Snape at a booth in the back. Harry sat at the bar where he could see him out of the corner of his eye. He seemed deep in thought. Snape sat there sipping his drink with numerous refills, longer than Harry took to eat and finally Harry left him sitting there, heading back to the school, only by flooding to Hogsmeade first so that Snape wouldn't hear him flooing to Hogwarts from the public floo in the pub. Once back in his dorm he threw himself on the bed. Just being near him made him want to wrap his arms around him and tell him everything would be ok. Yes, harry was definitely a lovesick teenager. He sighed and put away his purchases and grabbed a shower. He fell asleep before he could reply.
Harry woke the next mooring having not slept very well; he knew he had dreams but couldn't remember what they were. Realizing he would be late for breakfast if he didn't hurry his ass up, he threw on clothes for the day, he had taken to just wearing black trousers with his white button up. It was actually very comfortable. He saved his muggle clothes for going to the burrow or out and about. He got to the great hall just as breakfast was severed and got a smile from Dumbledore but a scowl, always with the scowl from Snape. He sat down and began eating. "Headmaster?" he asked "would you be ok with it if I go to the burrow today?" He asked and forked a bite of pancakes in his mouth.
Dumbledore nods, " I think that should be fine Harry, why don't you come by my office and we can floo Molly from there and see if it's alright and if it is you can just go on through. How's that sound?" He says
Harry finished chewing with a smile and swallowed "I'd love that Sir" he said and finished his breakfast.
Severus leaves breakfast at the earliest opportunity and heads back to his rooms for the day. He finishes some brewing that he had started the day before and gets a tense floo call from Lucius that at least tells him to be prepared to be called soon, and that the dark lord was displeased with him, though when wasn't he displeased really? But at least Severus has a bit of forewarning now he can thank Lucius's need to rub things into people's faces for something he supposed.
Harry headed to the common room to change and grab his bag, writing a reply before heading out.
SS
This is me, here, hands open, heart out. I want all of you and then some. I want you at your 3am lows and all your brokenness. I want you to know what terrifies you most so I can tear it to pieces. I want to spend the rest of my life exploring the cosmos of your heart. I want to show you the way that the imperfections, the flaws, that separate you from the Gods are the very things I'll always fall for the hardest.
Yours Always
Harry tied a small package with the letter to the bird just before heading to the Headmaster's to floo away to the burrow.
Severus is cleaning up from brewing when yet another owl flies through his window triggering the little alarm and he comes out to find it on his perch " I don't think I've ever received so much mail. " He mutters and takes the letter and small package. He reads the letter first as always and it makes him blush, well he'd never had anyone expressing sentiments like that towards him and he wasn't sure how to take it let alone respond. To be honest it scared him a bit, he was starting to enjoy the little notes, and that was a frightening thought all on its own because it said in its own way that he was accepting this, he was old world enough to know what the man was doing, and Severus was letting, no not just letting but encouraging him. This makes Severus's eyes widened at first, he replied to tell the writer to stop, then just to try to figure out who it was, but neither was the case now. He pushes this from his mind and opens the small box. Two silver and gold coiled snake cuff links sit inside again very beautifully made and he stares at them and the letter, someone was literally trying to court him... Could he do this? He puts the letter and links aside and doesn't reply that day. Just as Lucious said, the Dark Lord called a meeting that night and Severus was the one that was meant to pay for whatever he was angry about this time. He arrived back to his quarters broken and hurt. He pulled out the letter again before heading to his bed to take some potions. "You really want me at my 3am lows huh?" He read the letter again and his body wracked with pain. What would he say to this man? He didn't reply the next day wither, not really knowing what to say.
Harry arrived at the burrow falling right into Molly's arms as she held him tight "Harry! We have missed you! Are you hungry?" She asked as she always did. Harry shook his head, "Not yet, but later I promise" He winked at her as he heard the footsteps and felt the burrow shake a bit, seemed like everyone heard his name and came running. Finally, everyone had calmed after lunch and Harry, and his two best friends went to sit in the field and enjoy each other's company. "It's been bloody boring mate" Ron said rolling his eyes, Hermione elbowing him, "So you're bored with me now huh?" She laughed back at him. "How's your thing going Harry" she asked him, and he eyed Ron. "I sent her a poem this morning before I left" He said smiling and taking out a book, spelling the cover so Ron wouldn't see it even if he was paying attention. "Here read it" He opened the book and showed her the poem. He leaned in "I've been sending gifts too like the books said" he whispered. When Ron got bored of those two talking he went back to the burrow which left him and Hermione and she started talking a mile a minute, asking him about it, giving him ideas and the biggest thing, "You will need to officially ask to court him Harry" she said with her eyes sparkling. Harry said nothing but smiled. The dinner bell rang out and they headed back to the burrow. When Harry arrived back to his rooms, he fully had expected a reply, but found none. Just one day, he thought, no big deal. The next day Snape didn't show for breakfast or lunch and harry still hadn't heard from him. He was starting to get worried.
It wasn't until the morning two days later that Severus replies. He had stayed in bed for a good part of the previous day just to recover when he reads it again, he sighs rubbing his head. And starts writing.
Anon
I'm not sure how that give you what you want which is one of the reasons for the long time between replies. I was also called the night before last and most of yesterday was spent recuperating. I'm telling you this as my way of trying. I'm not good at sharing either my highs or my lows with others, but I'm trying. I loved the cufflinks and will wear them the next time I have occasion.
Sincerely
S.S
He sends it off and sighs it's the best he can offer, for now.
When harry finally got a reply it was if he had been holding his breath the whole time. What if the poem he sent was too much for Snape to handle? What if he had just drove the man away? He had all kinds of horrible thoughts until he read the letter. His thoughts went from worry that he had screwed things up to worry about his well-being. He knew he had to attend the meetings, but he hated the thought of the torture he endured.
SS
I admit I was worried I had scared you away but knowing now that you were hurt, hurts me. I wish I could be there to take care of you. It's sometimes hard to be alone when you're in pain, at least for me, even though it happens more than I would like. I've found that most people cannot look into my personality, they can't look past the things I have done. I believe that you can. I will be here for as long as you will let me. I understand your fear and if I have to wait forever I will. Oh, you can call me JL
Your always
JL
Harry attached a packet of assorted candies, hoping a little sugar and a letter might help him feel better. Attaching it and sending the owl off, he laid on his bed with his books and parchment working on an "Official" as Hermione put it, request to court.
It's only a few hours later that Severus receives a reply, he reads the note. " JL huh, initials perhaps?" He smiles at the package of candy, whoever it was knew Severus had a sweet tooth. He waits until that evening to reply.
JL
I appreciate your concern, I assure you I'm doing better now, a few doses of anti-cruciate potion and some rest and I'm well on the mend. I understand what you mean, because of the mark on my arm very few people wish to look beyond that, and even fewer try to get past the walls I have learned over my life to keep up. That fact that you want to be unusual and intriguing. I also know what it is to suffer alone.
Sincerely
S.S.
He sends it off before bed and then tried to get some sleep.
Harry took longer to reply than he ever had. He just kept reading the last sentence. "I also know what it is to suffer alone" Those words bore deep into him. Harrys physical wounds were always tended to, but his emotional ones were never touched. No one asked, no one cared. He did suffer in silence and apparently so did Snape and he was able to let himself actually admit it. Harry felt this was a huge step forward. He didn't reply that day as he was not sure how to comfort Snape through words. He had finished his request to court and copied it with a spell, masking the words and the magic before owling it to Hermione who was staying at the burrow. He wanted her opinion before he sent it.
Severus spends the rest of his day in an introspective mood thinking about the letters and the person sending them. He tries to go along as normal but keeps finding his mind pulled back to the mysterious JL.
Harry waits for a reply from Hermione pacing the empty common room. He had paced all evening and even decided to have breakfast there because he wasn't sure he could see Snape just now with his emotions as high as they were, with the nervousness he felt. Finally, an answer came, and Hermione was short and to the point,
ITS AMAZING.
That's all the note said, and he smiled. Seems his hard work paid off on the letter, now, getting Snape to say yes... That was another battle altogether. It was just before lunch when Harry began to get his letter together. He pulled it from his bag and a small gift, he saved this one specifically for this. He read through the not again just to make sure.
SS.
This is my official request to court you. I realize that you only know me through letters, I will continue to get to know you, if you will allow it. My heart is yours and I hope one day you will feel the same.
With all my love
JL
Short simple and to the point, just like Snape, Harry smiled as he tied the letter and package to the bird. He took a moment to pet the bird and think before shooing her off to deliver it. Lunch wasn't for another two hours so he decided to grab his broom and clear his thoughts.
