All disclaimers and warnings from chapter one still apply
Chapter not beta-ed and I doubt any of the following will be either and if you still haven�t figured it out this is a SEQUEL , so go read the first fic if you haven�t it�s good! If you don�t believe me read the reviews!

AN: Damn this was a long chapter. Ok everyone I just wanted to warn you there will be slight Ron Bashing in the chapter *ducks under desk*. I love Ron really I do but I needed someone to act like an ass about the whole Harry/Draco thing and since Sev and Sirius got to take it semi-well someone has to blow up and well... Ron just fits the bill, so I�m sorry to those of you who love Ron but I will make it up to you. Don�t hate me! *sniffles* On with the fic!
AN(again): Just warning you this chapter skips around a lot, unfortunately it was necessary. There are many �talks� happening in this chapter that are needed to clear the air between characters and set up things that will be happening in the future. Sorry if this confuses anyone.
Ok just so we don�t get confused. Remember Harry was talking with Sirius last chapter and was beginning to explain why he wasn�t at quidditch practice this is a continuance of that conversation so when we end up back in Snape�s chambers with Harry talking to Sirius you know why. Ok? Good now let�s get back to it.

�What the hell are you doing here ferret face!?� Ron shouted stomping onto the field.

Draco turned and regarded him cooly �I�m actually here to speak with, or a more accurate assumption, be yelled at by you.�

Ron scrunched up his face in confusion �What the hell are you on about ferret!�

Draco sighed �Weasley I know for a fact that you aren�t happy with me dating Harry..� one of the twins snorted while the other coughed something that sounded suspiciously like �you think� �but he makes me happy, more importantly I make him happy and I think we can all agree that after everything Harry has gone through he deserves some happiness regardless of who it�s with. I know you don�t like me and for good reason, I was horrible to you, Granger and Harry when we were younger and I am truly sorry for treating you all so badly. But even though you don�t like me I am going to try to be as civil and respectful to you as possible and I would appreciate it if you could try and do the same for me if only for Harry�s sake.� with that Draco stuck out his hand to seal the truce.

Ron sneered and slapped Draco�s hand away �If you think you can just say �I�m sorry� and I�ll forget everything you did to me, Harry, and Mione over the years then you�re thicker than Crabbe and Goyle combined. There is no fucking way I would ever be friends with you ferret face even for Harry. I know this is all just some plan to hurt Harry.� seethed the red head, Draco glared and was about to refute Ron�s claims but the Gryffindor continued.

�I bet this is just another one of your schemes to ruin Harry�s reputation. What were you gonna do huh? Lure Harry to the snake pit by telling him you love him get him drunk and fuck him then take pictures? Maybe have some of your slimy friends join in then sell the pictures to The Profit claiming he�s the new Slytherin slut? And Harry�s just naive enough to fall for it.�

Harry looked at his �friend� in shock and no small amount of hurt, Seamus was doing a good impression of a fish out of water and the twins looked outraged. Draco was murderous and did something he had not done since before he had gotten his wand. He reared back and punched Ron as hard as he could square on the chin making the red head fall flat on his arse clutching his, thankfully not broken, jaw.

�Don�t you EVER say something like that about Harry, my friends or me again Weasel!� said Draco in a low deadly voice.

Ron jumped to his feet and swung at the blonde. Draco dodged out of the way and drew his wand, Ron following the action a second later.

�I�m gonna curse you into next week Malfoy!� yelled Ron.
�Try it Weaselbee!� sneered Draco in response.

Everyone else stepped back, except for Harry who was dragged by the twins. Ron waved his wand and uttered some strange spell that none of the others could recognize though it sounded oddly familiar. Draco quickly performed a repelling charm causing the strange curse to rebound back at the irrate red head who, not expecting Draco to repel the spell, didn�t have the chance to dodge and was hit with it square in the chest.

Ron flew backwards and hit the ground hard. Ron clutched is chest and cried out in agony as boils and a slimy substance began to appear over his body. The others stood around and watched in fascinated horror as the nature of the curse became apparent.

They realized that what Ron had attempted was a cross between the bat bogey hex and the boil hex. Ron let out another painful groan and his brothers and Harry rushed to his assistance.

�Well,� said Fred. �I suppose we ought to take the git to the hospital wing.� George looked down at his little brother disapproval clearly written across his face. �Yeah, though he really doesn�t deserve it does he?� Fred and George each grabbed an arm and lugged the groaning red head toward the castle with Harry, Seamus and Draco following close behind.

Upon reaching the entrance to the castle the group ran into Ginny and Dean who were hurrying in order to reach quidditich practice for which they were late. �Oi, where are you all headed to?� asked Dean. �Yeah� Said Ginny. �What about practice?�

�Practice I believe...,� Said George. �Has officially been cancelled�, finished Fred.

�Why? What happened?� Ginny asked

�Well� said George. �Our oh so understanding brother...�

�decided to insinuate that our Harry....� continued Fred.

�would after only a few drinks...�

�Be willing to sleep with all of Slytherin house.�

Ginny stared at Ron in shock, surely he wouldn�t say something like that about his best friend, especially after the fiasco in forth year. �You�re not serious?�

�Nope I�m Fred Sirius is the dark haired bloke that teaches defense.� George snickered and Ginny glared.

�That�s not what I meant you prat, and you both know it!� The twins grinned at her then Ron let out another pitiful moan. Ginny looked at him more closely and turned up her nose in disgust as more slimy boils began to appear before he eyes. �Ugh! What happened to him anyway?� she asked.

�Well...� began George
.

�We�ll tell you in the hospital wing while we explain it to Madam Pomfrey. Let�s go you guys he may be a git but until about five minutes ago he was my best friend and I really don�t like seeing him in pain.� Harry cut in.

�Shame.� commented Draco, Harry just gave him a pleading look. Draco sighed and motioned the twins onward. Fred and George shrugged and began lugging their hot headed little brother toward the hospital wing once again.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

�...but the hex rebounded off of Draco�s shield and hit Ron instead. As far as we can tell it was meant to be a cross between the bat bogey hex and the boil hex. Is he going to be alright?� Asked Harry after finishing explaining what happened to Madam Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall, who had arrived minutes before.

Poppy finished her scans and frowned. �Well he�ll live but those hexes were never meant to be crossed. I could easily reverse the effects of one or both if they were cast separately on the same person with a simple finite incantatem but I�m afraid fixing this will not be so simple. Mr. Malfoy you are very lucky you deflected that hex or it would be you stuck in here for the next two weeks.�

The Gryffindors gaped. �Two weeks! B-but we have a game next Friday!� stuttered Seamus.

�Well Mr. Weasley won�t be playing in it. It is going to take a long regiment of potions and spells to reverse this. Now out all of you I need to began Mr. Weasley�s treatments.� With that Poppy shooed the students out of the private room.

Professor McGonagall looked over the assembled students. �Is there anything more that I need to be made aware of or did Mr. Potter�s story cover everything?� Everyone shook their heads then Fred grinned.

�Professor if it�s not too much to ask can George and I be the ones to tell Mum what happened?� McGonagall regarded him suspiciously but answered � I don�t see why not, but I would make it clear that Madam Pomfrey does not appreciate howlers in her wing. Now run along all of you.�

Everyone one began to file out when Professor McGonagall called out � Oh and Mr. Potter you are now the Gryffindor team captain.� Harry stopped and turned wide eyes to his head of house. �You mean until Ron recovers?�

�Oh no, I believe losing his position as team captain is a suitable punishment for so throughly insulting a fellow house mate and hexing another student, the Head Boy no less. You will be captain for the remainder of the year. Good day Mr. Potter.�

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

�Then I went with Draco back to his room to change and I agreed to walk him to his meeting with Professor Snape.� Harry said finishing his explanation to Sirius.

�Well that was a long story. But I can�t believe Ron would say that!� Sirius said shaking his head.

�Why not you said nearly the same thing.� replied Harry hotly.

�What!? I did no such thing!�

�Oh really? As I recall it you basically accused me of being a slut the other night!�

�I did not! I only said that it was irresponsible of you to sleep with Malfoy so quickly and it was! You know better, at least I thought you did. I don�t care if he said he loved you or if he really meant it or not. What I care about is the fact that you slept with someone without using protection!�

�We used protection! Draco cast a charm!�

�And Charms can and have failed! I told you that, I stressed the importance of taking a potion or making sure your partner was on a potion before you had sex. I taught you the charms and I made you learn how to cast them on yourself as well as another person. I explained everything to you before your forth year so we wouldn�t be having a conversation like this!� Sirius was breathing hard and glaring. Harry felt the urge to cry again but held himself in check for the moment while Sirius continued.

�I don�t want to yell at you Harry, I don�t want to be the bad guy but you�re not giving me a choice here! I thought I had gotten through to you, I thought I had made myself clear how important it was for you to be on a potion. You told me you understood, you promised me you would go to Poppy the minute you got a boyfriend, you promised me when you finally did go all the way with someone you would cast the charms yourself to be sure. But what happened? Malfoy batted his eyes and gave you a smile and you handed over all control to him. You had no idea if he knew the right spells or could cast them correctly. I bet you didn�t even really listen when he cast them to make sure that he cast a protection charm along with his contraceptive charm. He could have left it off and given you a disease Harry! You promised you would think about things like that before you had sex and you didn�t!� Harry finally lost his battle and a lone tear made it�s way down his cheek.

Sirius stopped for a moment to wipe it gently away and rested his hand on harry�s shoulder before continuing in a softer tone. �I didn�t teach you all those charms and tell you all that information just to embarrass you Harry. I told you because I didn�t want you to have all the scares and confusion I did in school. I didn�t get a proper talk from my father when I was in school. I just muddled through on my own and I didn�t want that for you. I didn�t want you to be confused or ashamed about something because no one had explained it. You have no idea how scary it is when a girl or boy comes up to you and tells you they may be pregnant with your child when you�re only sixteen. And I never wanted you to know how terrifying it is to realize that your boyfriend forgot the charm on your last date and now you have to wait two weeks to find out if you�re pregnant yourself* and what in Merlins name you�re going to tell your parents if you are. It�s not fun Harry and it�s not something kids so young need to be worrying about. And yes I know you�re seventeen and in the eyes of the Ministry you�re an adult but you are still too young to be a parent and I told you all that you needed to know to prevent that from happing. I�m not mad that you had sex on your first date with Draco, a little disappointed but not mad, I am angry that you ignored what I said and put yourself in danger. I know it goes against everything that�s Gryffindor to think before you act but this is one area where you need to be more Slytherin and think about the possible consequences of your actions. I love you Harry, I don�t think I could love you more even if you were my own flesh and blood and I don�t want to see you get hurt or get into a bad situation when it can be prevented.� Harry started crying in earnest then and Sirius pulled him into a tight hug.

�I-I�m s-sor-ry!�

�Shh it�s ok kiddo I know you didn�t ignore what I told you on purpose, things just went a little faster then you thought they would didn�t they?� Harry nodded against his chest. �Would you tell me what happened?...You don�t have to if you don�t want, but I promise not to judge okay?�

Harry sniffed and began talking though he kept his head against Sirius� chest so his words were muffled.

�I..we went back to his room, which is huge by the way, and Draco put on the C.D. of the song the bubbles played, you know �It is you�? And he has a muggle stereo of all things can you believe that? Anyway, he asked me to dance and I told him I was rubbish at it but he said I can duel so I can dance and I didn�t understand that but he explained about Neville and all and then I realized I was dancing because Draco was leading..�

�Harry calm down you�re rambling.� Sirius said with a chuckle.
Harry blushed but it was hidden.

�Um well...anyway we danced for a while then we-we started kissing and Draco began to steer me back towards his bed but I didn�t realize it at the time. He..um I fell back on the bed and he started to climb up but I stopped him and told him I never did anything before and he looked kind of disgusted with himself for a minute. H-he told me we wouldn�t do anything I wasn�t ready for and all I had to do was say stop and he would. Well we.. um kept kissing and stuff and I lost my shirt at some point and Draco was kissing me down my body but then he stopped. I was going to ask why but I-I looked down and he had his hand on my zip and was giving me a questioning look so I nodded and um...he well..um you know with his mouth.� Harry said this in a hushed voice.

Sirius chuckled �Did he now? So what was it like?�

�Bloody brilliant!� exclaimed Harry who then slapped a hand over his mouth. Sirius laughed which earned him a smack then Harry continued.

�Well after that h-he kissed me and it was weird �cause he had just um... anyway after that he asked if he could make love to me and he was real hesitant like he expected me to bolt. I asked if it would hurt and he said it would a bit but that it got better so ..um I said yes. He..um u-used his fingers and it was weird at first then it was good until the third finger which burned a bit but it went away �cause he brushed a spot in me that feels really good.� Harry was happy Sirius wasn�t looking at his face right then because it surely have put a Weasley�s hair to same.

�After a bit I said I was ready for him and.. um h-he started to push in and it hurt more than the fingers and he had to stop for awhile.� Harry shifted a bit. �Um then he pushed in a bit more and it hurt still but instead of stopping again like Draco wanted to I told him to just do it which really wasn�t one of my better ideas �cause it bloody hurt a lot.� Sirius hugged Harry tighter he wasn�t happy that Harry had been in pain his first time.

�Draco stopped when I cried out and kissed me and stated apologizing but I told him it was okay and just to give me a minute so he just held me until I was ready. After awhile he..um started to move and he hit that spot again and it felt really good again. We..um well you know, for awhile longer than I came and it was the most amazing thing I�ve ever felt, then he came inside me and it felt kind of weird but good too. Afterward Draco thanked me for letting him make love to me and told me he loved me and asked me to stay and I did and that�s what happened.� Harry finished quickly still hiding against Sirius� chest.

Sirius ran his hand up and down Harry�s back soothingly, he felt a bit better now that he knew it wasn�t just from Draco�s pressuring that Harry had given him his virginity. �Were you in much pain the day after?�

Harry nodded against his chest �Yeah it wasn�t bad at first but when I went to sit up a bit it hurt a lot, but Draco had a pain potion in his bathroom and he gave it to me and it helped.� Harry paused a moment then pulled back to look at Sirius.

�Can you ask Professor Snape why he has to make all his potions taste like feet or something moldy and rotten?�

Sirius snorted and began laughing. After a minute he answered �You know I�ve asked him that about a hundred times and his answer�s always the same...� Sirius pulled back straitened his shoulders and adopted a sneer worthy of the potions master himself. �I make the potions taste foul to discourage the half-witted inhabitants of this castle from performing acts that cause the need for such potions.� Harry started laughing. �You laugh but I haven�t gotten drunk enough to need one of his hangover potions since your birthday party!�

Harry grimaced �Yeah I had to take one of those the next day too, beyond foul that one. They do work brilliantly though, but only if you can keep it down, took me three tries before I could swallow it without retching. I�m never drinking that much again!�

�Ah you see Black my theory was a good one. Potter will never drink in excess again because he never wishes to ingest one of my potions again. If only it worked so well on some of my Slytherins.�

Harry and Sirius jumped apart at hearing the Potions Master�s drawl, they hadn�t heard him return.

�Hello Professor. Where�s Draco?� asked Harry.

�He returned to his room and asked me to relay to you that he wishes you to join him if you are finished with your Godfather. I believe I brought up some concerns in our talk that he wishes to discuss with you.�

Harry turned to Sirius silently asking to if he could leave to see what Draco�s concerns were. Sirius gave him a small smile. �Go on then, I�ll see you in class tomorrow if not before.� Harry smiled and gave him a quick hug.

�Thanks Siri, bye.� Harry jumped up but stopped near the door. �Oh and thank you for telling me professor , goodbye.� Snape nodded and Harry was off.

After Severus shut the door and seated himself Sirius questioned him. �So what did you and Mal-Draco talk about?�

Snape gave him a weak glare for the slip �That is really none of your business Black but I assume you wish to know what concerns I brought up and how they with affect Mr. Potter correct?�

Sirius rolled his eyes �Sheesh Sev why can�t you just call him Harry in private and yes that�s what I wanted to know.�

�He has not requested me to call him by his first name so I shan�t and I simply asked Draco if...�

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
�Sit.� instructed Severus once he and Draco had arrived in his office. Draco set in one of the chairs in front of Snape�s large desk and Severus took the other as this was not the time to intimidate Draco by putting the desk between them.

�You care for him.� it was a statement.

�I love him.�

�You state that with a great deal of certainty.�

�I am certain.�

�You don�t make declarations like that lightly. When did you began to suspect?�

�Forth year.�

�That soon? Then why did you take so long to act upon your feelings, I know you are cautious but I also know you are impatient and two years is much longer then I would think you would be willing to wait, even for someone you claim to love .�

Draco scowled �I may be impatient but I am also realistic and practical when it suits me to be so. So forgive me if I thought declaring my love for �the-boy-who-lived� in a house full of people who�s support was unknown to be impractical. And may I also point out that until Friday I never thought Harry would ever want to be more than friends with me.�

�Do not take that tone with me!�

�If you do not care for my tone then I think it�s best that you refrain for questioning my motivations about matters you truly have no business to question!�

Severus inhaled deeply through his nose and nodded sharply �You are right it is not my business to question with whom you form attachments . However, I think I deserve more respect then you a currently showing me.�

Draco lowered his eyes �Yes sir. Sorry sir.�

Severus sighed �You needn�t be so formal Draco.� Draco just nodded.
�From your reaction I gather you have become quite protective of him, not an uncommon occurrence for those close to Mr. Potter I�ve found.� Snape said with a slight sneer.

�It�s hard not to be. There�s just something about him that makes you want to keep him happy and safe I don�t know what it is but I think it�s even affected you somewhat.�

Snape raised an eyebrow �And How did you come to that conclusion?�

Draco shrugged �It�s little things, like in class if you see that he�s about to add the wrong ingredient to his potion or about to add an ingredient too soon you snap at him to pay attention and follow the recipe and instructions closely, while if were almost anyone else you would just let them ruin their potion and deduct points. Then there are times in the halls when Harry has been involved in a fight of some kind, when you question those involved you always take his word for what really happened and dole out harsher punishment to everyone else involved. In fact you haven�t given him a detention since the end of last year, usually you would have had him in detention at least once a week from the beginning of term. And you almost never deduct points from him anymore you just yell at him and move on. It�s as if you�re treating him like a Slytherin.�

Snape blinked, had he really been treating the boy like one of his own house? As he thought about it he found that yes he had.
�Why?� Draco had voiced the question that Snape was about to ask internally.

Severus stared at the various bottles, jars and books lining one wall as he thought how to reply.

�I suppose part of it is that the detentions are no longer required. Through the years I have almost always used my detentions with Mr. Potter to teach or train him in some way or to keep him out of trouble by keeping him occupied during times of the day or night he was planning some harebrained stunt that would ultimately land him in Poppy�s care.�

�But if he needed help in class why didn�t you offer him extra classes like you do the Slytherins?�

�Because we were already using remedial potions classes as an excuse for his occlumency lessons, unfortunately the boy was still doing poorly in class and the guise of remedial potions lessons would have looked suspicious if he had not improved some what. So I sometimes used detentions as extra potion lessons for him. If I found him to be struggling with a concept I would assign him detention and make him help me prepare potions that used that concept so he could see the practical uses of them. He has always been a visual learner and finds theory work difficult I have known this since the beginning of his first year.�

�How?�

�Simple, I surreptitiously looked in on one of his first year defense classes. I watched as he struggled to grasp the concept of a simple spell as it was explained to him. When asked to preform the spell he was unable to, but when Quirrell showed the class how to perform an entirely different spell, after only being shown once he performed it perfectly.� Draco�s eyes widened.

�So I made it a point to demonstrate how to brew potions in our detentions by making him assist me. He believed he was being punished but his grades and performance in class improved. He has also become much better at visualizing the outcome of spells and potions over the years, that was something I taught him as well. It is that reason he has become much better in theory work and potions. If he can see the outcome in his mind he finds the execution easier.�

�I never really thought about it but I do the same thing. When brewing a potion I can always visualize what it supposed to look and smell like at each stage as well as when it�s finished. I guess I never realized that some people couldn�t do that.�

�That is not surprising. Many people take for granted their gifts until they see others that are unable to do the things they themselves have always exceeded at. Like Mr. Potter�s knack for wandless magic.�

�What do you mean?�

�From the first time I met Mr. Potter in your first year I could tell he would be great, as much as a loathed to admit it even to myself. He positively reeked of magic and power, unfortunately he had little to no control over it. So anytime he became frightened or angered he would release wild wandless magic.�

Draco looked about to speak but Snape raise a hand to stop him. �Yes, I know all young witches and wizards show some form of wild wandless magic, but it is usually limited to levitating things such as toys or objects from shelves they can not reach or in extreme cases shattering something breakable near them when upset. Mr. Potter at quite a young age managed to wordlessly and wandlessly apparate, moreover when angered or upset it was not unusual for him to shatter every piece of glass in the room or building he was in at the time.� Draco�s eyes widened comically.

�Not only that but on several occasions I have seen him shake Hogwarts it�s self in a fit of anger. In fact I can not count the number of times the Headmaster called for my assistance in altering the memories of the Gryffindors because Potter had literally shaken them out of their beds during a vision or nightmare.�

�Good Gods! He�s not still doing that is he?�

�No, after many detentions/training sessions I was able to help him control his magic to a point he would not release magic when angered, and through occlumency he is able to control his nightmares and visions as well as keep his magic in check while asleep.�

�Wow you must have spent more time with him over the years than Granger and the Weasel.�

�Indeed. But my point was that until recently, Mr. Potter saw this wandless magical ability as nothing more than a nuisance. He detested his excess magic and until I explained how difficult it is for most wizards to learn even the simplest of wandless spells and how useful the ability could be against the Dark Lord, he wanted nothing more than to be rid of it.�

�I guess I can understand that.� Draco said nodding.

�I believe we have gotten off topic.�

Draco chuckled �I believe you�re right.�

�Have you spoken to your Mother and Father about you new relationship?�

�Well Father was there when I first kissed Harry and he seemed pleased with it. In fact it seemed as if he had expected it.� Draco�s brows furrowed.

�Knowing your Father I don�t doubt he expected it, he has always seemed to know what you were going to do before you�ve done it.� Snape replied dryly.

�Yeah it�s scary sometimes. Like I said though, he seemed okay with it he even asked if Harry would be visiting the manor with me at Christmas. As for Mother she�ll be happy as long as I�m happy.� Snape nodded, Narcissa wouldn�t care if Draco took up with the giant squid as long as her �little boy� was happy.

�So will he?� asked Severus

�Will he what?�

Snape barely stopped himself from rolling his eyes. �Will he be accompanying you home for the holidays?�

Draco blinked �Uh I don�t know I haven�t asked yet. It�s still a long way off after all.�

�Yes but if Lucius inquired about him coming home with you I would think he would have expected a reply.�

�Yeah I guess I need to speak with Harry about that. At the very least I�ll be able to tell Father he�s thinking about it and Mother will be furious if I don�t give her enough time to shop for him.� Severus snorted at that, the only person on earth that shopped more than Draco was his mother. As Severus thought about this he began to wonder if the knack for shopping was inherited trough some gene passed trough the Black family line. It would explain Sirius� obsession with shoe shopping.

�I�ll also need to find out all of Harry�s favorite things and his clothing sizes for her.� Draco was being to look anxious .

�Perhaps you would prefer it if we were to cut our talk short so you may go question Mr. Potter?� Severus asked with a hint of amusement coloring his voice.

Draco started �What? Oh, yes that would be fine.�

�Very well then I shall see you in class tomorrow morning.�

�Alright I�ll see you then Uncle Sev.� Draco got up and began to make his way to the door but stopped.

�Oh if Harry�s still talking to his Godfather could you tell him I�ll be waiting for him in my room?� Snape raised an eyebrow. �To talk!� Draco said quickly. Severus smirked and nodded his assent.

�Thank you, see you tomorrow.� With that Draco made his way back toward his room.
~*~*~*~*~*~OOC and Fluff alert!~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After Severus had finished his slightly abridged version of what he and Draco had spoken about Sirius looked somewhat upset.

�What troubles you Sirius?� Asked Severus mildly concerned.

Sirius looked at the fire then shook his head. �Nothing. It�s just.... I thought Harry would spend the Holidays at Hogwarts this year and that we could spend it together. It would be our first real Christmas. You know, without the Ministry after me and a crazy Dark Lord after him.� Sirius sighed �But I guess he�ll want to spend it with his new boyfriend not his Godfather.� he finished dejectedly.

Severus frowned �Nothing has been decided yet Sirius. He may well decide to spend his holiday here.�

Sirius shook his head. �No, he�ll want to go with Draco. He�s completely smitten with him I could tell it from the way he talked about him.� Sirius sighed �Well maybe we could spend the holiday together next year.�

Severus moved over to the sofa where Sirius set and put his arm around him. Sirius smiled lightly and rested his head on Snape�s shoulder. �Perhaps there is an alternate option?�

Sirius looked up at him questionably. �Like what?�

�Well, as you know I have been invited to spend Christmas at the Manor every year since Draco was born and I very much doubt this year will be any different.� Sirius nodded for him to continue.

�You also may be aware of the fact that Narcissa is very fond of entertaining, the larger the group the better in her opinion. She would think it very rude to invite only me to the Manor this year knowing that I have two lovers I wish to spend my holiday with, so naturally she will extend the invitation to you and Remus as well.� Sirius� eye widened in comprehension. �So..?�

�So, if we except Narcissa�s invitation and Mr. Potter excepts Draco�s invitation then you will both be able to spend your holiday�s with your families as well as your lovers.� Severus finished with a smile.

�Sev your brilliant you know that right?� Sirius said with a large grin.

Severus sniffed �Of course, but it is nice to have it confirmed I am rather biased.� Sirius smacked him on the arm and laughed.

�Conceited bastard.�

Severus huffed �I�ll have you know my parents were married long before I was born thank you.� Sirius just shook his head and smiled.

�You�re such a git but I love you.� he said kissing Snape on the cheek.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry hurried down the hall toward Draco�s room hoping whatever it was that Draco wanted to talk about wasn�t too awful. He stopped in front of the glowering portrait of Adreyan Torint.

�Good afternoon Mr. Torint.� Harry said pleasantly.

The portrait blinked, it had been quite a long time since anyone had greeted him by his name, well other than the bothersome headmaster. Adreyan inclined his head in greeting still not smiling but he would not let such a show of manners go unacknowledged.

Harry�s smile brightened at the nod, but then he frowned, he could not for the life of him remember Draco�s password. He knew he had heard it that first night but at the time he had been rather preoccupied and all the other times they had returned to the room Draco had , had to speak softly because of passing students.

�Um I seem to have forgotten the password but I know Draco is expecting me could you please let him know I�m outside?�

Adreyan nodded and walked out of the portrait. A moment later he returned and the portrait swung open to reveal Draco.

Harry grinned �Thank you Mr. Torint.� Draco�s brow furrowed.

�What?�

�I was thanking your portrait for telling you I was here.�

�Why?� asked Draco in mild distaste.

�It�s polite.� huffed Harry in exasperation and pushing past him into the room. �After all he�s not about to start liking me if I�m rude now is he?�

Draco just smiled and shook his head. �Only you Harry, would worry about a portrait liking you.�

�Well like you told him that first night he�ll be seeing quite a lot of me this year and I�d rather not have him scowl at me every time I give him the password.�

Draco nodded understandably. �Speaking of the password why didn�t you use it?�

Harry blushed �I sort of forgot it.�

�How could you forget it, it�s an easy password in fact it is so easy to guess I was planning on changing it.�

Harry bristled �Well I only heard it once and I was a bit preoccupied at the time so excuse me for forgetting your oh so simple password.�

Draco frowned at the Raven haired boy�s tone �Dragon�s Lair.�

Harry blinked �What?�

�The password. It�s Dragon�s Lair, but like I said I�m planning on changing it. I was going to ask you for suggestions for a new one.�

�Oh.�

They stared at each other for a moment before Harry got uncomfortable and looked away.

�Have I done something to upset you?� Draco asked quietly.

Harry turned back to him quickly �No! No, it just..�

�Just what.�

�Well Professor Snape said you had some concerns that you wanted to discuss with me. I guess I�m just on edge about it. I�m sorry I snapped at you.� Harry finished softly looking at the floor.

Draco stared at him for a moment �Let me guess you thought I was beginning to think dating you was a mistake right.�

Harry kept his head down but nodded, that had been the first thing to go through his head when Snape had said Draco had �concerns�.

Draco shook his head annoyed �Bloody Severus.� He muttered.
Harry looked at him with confusion.

Draco gave him a small grin. �Sorry love I should have told Uncle Sev that I had something to ask you not just that I wanted to talk to you. He always seems to be able to make the most innocent things sound sinister. All I wanted was to ask you if you would like to come home with me over the holidays?�

Harry let out a sigh of relief that, that was all Draco wanted but then bit his lip. �I-I don�t know. I was planning on staying here over the hols because I wanted to spend them with Sirius and Remus.�

�Well you don�t have to decide right away. The start of hols doesn�t begin for almost two months. How about I write Father tonight and tell him you need to discuss it with your godfather and you�re thinking about it?�

Harry smiled �Yeah that�s fine I�ll talk to Sirius tomorrow.�
Draco nodded �Well in that case how about I write Father tomorrow night after you�ve talked with Sirius. You may have it decided by then.�

�That will work too.� grinned Harry. �So what do you want to do until dinner, and for that matter where are we going to sit during dinner?�

Draco circled his arms around Harry�s waist and nuzzled his neck. �Well since Weasley�s in the Hospital Wing it would probably be safe to sit with your Gryffindorks...� Harry pinched him for the comment. �But as the feelings in Slytherin are fairly neural it would also be safe to sit with them and even if there is trouble I can have Vince and Greg put a stop to it. So it�s really up to your preference.�

�Hmm well if we sit with the Gryffindors everyone will bagger me about what happened to Ron earlier and I really don�t want to deal with that today. So how about we sit with your lot at dinner and sit with my lot at breakfast?�

�My lot? Hmmf well I suppose that could work. Now as for what to do until dinner...?� Draco�s hands began traveling lower. �I have a few suggestions.�

Harry laughed �Is that all you think about?�

Draco smirked �Of course not but it always seems to be in the forefront of my mind when ever your in the room.�

Harry shook his head and smiled �Well I would prefer to be able to sit down to dinner, so that is out of the question.� Draco pouted.

�But I might be willing to let you teach me another way to pass the time.� Harry said blushing slightly.

Draco raised and eyebrow �Oh? And what way would you like me to teach you?� he asked with a smirk.

Harry grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the couch then pushed him to sit. When Draco was seated Harry knelt in the V of his legs and rested his hands on Draco�s upper thighs.
�Maybe this way?� Harry asked softly looking at Draco from under his fringe.

Draco�s breath caught. Did Harry have any idea how bloody sexy he looked like that? Probably not. Draco swallowed �A-are you sure you want to do that?�

Harry bit his lip then looked down and nodded �I-it felt really good when you did it to me and I want to be able to do it for you too.� Harry looked up through his lashes blushing slightly and asked. �Will you teach me how?�

Like Draco, or any bloke, would say no to that! He nodded.
Harry smiled brightly and shakily began to undo Draco�s belt and trousers. Once he had them undone Draco lifted his hips and pushed his slacks and boxers down to his feet. He kicked off one shoe and removed a leg from his lower garments so he could give Harry more room to work.

Harry looked at Draco member with wide eyes, this was the first time he really had gotten a good look at it. Draco was definitely bigger then him. If he were to guess Harry would have to say Draco was about eight and a half inches long and fairly thick. It made him wonder how he had managed to take it inside of himself with only the amount of pain it had caused. Draco was circumcised like he was for which Harry was grateful. He had seen guys that weren�t cut and didn�t particularly care for the look or the idea of putting an uncut cock in his mouth. Draco�s cock was darker then the rest of him and curve upwards slightly.

Harry reach out hesitantly and stroked it just to feel how much different it felt from his own.

Draco was watching Harry closely as he looked at his cock and nearly jumped out of his seat at his boyfriends first hesitant touch. He moaned softly.

Harry look up at the moan �I-is this okay?�

Draco nodded �Ye-yeah just go at your own pace I�m not about to complain here.� he said with a sigh of pleasure.

Harry blushed and got back to exploring Draco�s member with his hands. It felt similar to his own when hard but it was also all together different because it was Draco�s. Harry ran his hand up and down the shaft several times before moving lower to fondle Draco balls. The blonde moaned his appreciation but was starting to become impatient, though he wouldn�t rush Harry. Draco was still feeling a bit guilty about how quickly he had rushed Harry into a physical relationship, even though Harry didn�t seem to mind being rushed.

As Harry continued his exploration he noticed fluid beginning to gather at the tip of Draco�s cock. Unable to help his curiosity, Harry bent forward and gave a tentative lick to the very tip causing Draco�s hips to buck up and him to gasp. Harry blinked several times at the reaction then paused to consider the taste in his mouth. It wasn�t entirely unpleasant he decided. It was salty and a little bitter with an underlying sweetness that was just...Draco. Harry decided another taste was in order and preceded to give the head of Draco�s cock several small licks.

Draco was about to go mad from the teasing little licks Harry was giving him and had to grip the sofa cushions tightly in order to kept himself from pulling Harry�s head closer.

After a few moments Harry decided he had built up enough courage to take things to the next level. He set back and looked up at Draco �So um h-how do I do this?� he asked hesitantly.

It took Draco a second to process what he had been asked. He shook his head to clear it �Uh you um c-cover your teeth with you lips so they don�t scrape. Then put you mouth over the head and just bob your head while sucking but remember to breath through your nose. Oh and pay special attention to the head and the vein on the underside. You won�t be able to take me all the way in your first time or maybe ever depending on your gag reflex so use your hand at the base to stroke what you can�t fit in your mouth. I�ll warn you when I�m close so you don�t have to swallow okay?�

Harry was blushing brightly, that was a bit more information then Sirius had given him, but he nodded.

Harry was careful to cover his teeth like Draco instructed as he lowered his mouth over just the head and sucked.

Draco moaned long and low at the feeling of Harry�s mouth on him. He had, had many blow jobs over the years by some very orally talented individuals, but this was something different all together. This was Harry, the boy he loved doing this and somehow that just made it better.

Harry put his hand around the base of Draco�s cock and began to stroke in the same rhythm as his bobbing head. It didn�t take Harry long to fall into a comfortable rhythm of stroking and sucking that Draco seemed to like.

Harry hadn�t been at it for long when he noticed that he was being to get a build up of saliva and precome in his mouth. Since he didn�t know anything better to do about it he decided to swallow it, so on his next downward bob Harry swallowed causing his throat muscles to constrict around the head of Draco�s cock.

Draco let out a startled but pleasurable cry as he felt Harry swallow and it took him every ounce willpower he had, not to thrust up and choke Harry.

Harry nearly stopped at Draco�s cry but realizing it had been a cry of pleasure caused Harry to try to replicate the action. So on his next downward bob he swallowed again and again Draco cried out. If his mouth hadn�t been full at the time Harry would have grinned at his discovery. Harry continued to suck Draco off while intermittently swallowing. After awhile Harry moved the hand, that had until recently been resting on Draco�s thigh, down to fondle the blonde�s balls.

Draco nearly bucked up again at the added sensation. �Gods Love are you sure you haven�t done this before?� he gasped out.
Harry realized that an answer wasn�t required and that trying to talk with a cock in your mouth wouldn�t work well but he answered anyway. �Uh uhn� he said around his mouth full. Unknowingly sending vibrations along Draco�s cock.

�Fuck Harry!� Draco gasped. �Gods don�t do that or I�ll cum.�

Harry for some reason found Draco�s response quite funny and giggled causing more vibrations and shattering the last of Draco�s restraint.

With a startled cry Draco came hard down Harry�s inexperienced and unprepared throat causing the raven hair boy to pull away and start choking and coughing. Draco was little use to his distressed boyfriend as he too was gasping for breath, for an entirely different reason.

Harry managed to stop coughing after a moment, he blinked tears out of his eyes and wiped some of Draco�s cum off the side of his mouth with the back of his hand. He wondered idly if anyone had ever choked to death while sucking someone off. �Imagine that headline, �Boy-who-lived dead from blow-job induced asphyxiation�� Harry snorted.

Draco meanwhile had regained enough of his composure to realize there was someone else in the room. �What was that for?�

Harry shook his head and grinned �Nothing.� he croaked.

Draco accioed a flannel from the bathroom and used it to wipe away the tears and his cum from Harry�s face.

�I�m sorry Love I didn�t mean to do that but I did warn you. Are you alright?�

Harry nodded �Yeah I�m okay.� he grimaced at the sound of his voice which was still rough. �Is my voice going to be like this for long?�

�No it should be fine in a few minutes I would think, are you sure you�re alright you were choking for awhile there?�

�Yeah I�m fine really. You just surprised me, my jaw is a bit sore though.�

Draco leaned forward and gave Harry a very thorough kiss then pulled back smiling.
Harry smiled back �So, did I do okay?� He asked shyly.

Draco laughed �I thought it was rather obvious you did, but yeah I would say that it was more than satisfactory.�

Harry smacked him �Prat. Really how did I do?�

�It was great Love really. I�m surprised you did so well your first time.�

Harry blushed but gave him a small smile. �Well next time I�ll remember to keep the talking to a minimum.�

�Next time?�

�Oh yes I think I still need lots of practice.� Harry grinned cheekily �And probably several demonstrations.�

Draco laughed loudly �I think that can be arranged. Now shall we get ourselves together and head up to dinner?�

Harry nodded �Yeah sounds good to me.�
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

�I still can�t believe he�s actually dating him over me.� whined Pansy.

�Oh quit your whining women you�ve known Draco swung more toward blokes than birds for years.� Grumbled Vincent Crabbe.

��Sides Draco has never really fancied you as someone he would date you�ve always been more like a little sister to him.� Said Goyle.

�I know that but still a girl can dream.� Sighed Pansy.

Daphne snorted �Well that�s all it ever was Pans, a dream.�

Pansy huffed �Well at least I wasn�t the only one who�s dreams were dashed. Did you see the look on Brown�s face? Complete devastation, though I do wonder whom it was over, Draco or Potter?�

Vince and Greg shrugged and continued to shovel food into their mouths, Daphne wasn�t paying attention anymore because she and Milli were now looking through the latest issue of �Witch Weekly�.
Pansy glared at them then turned to speak to the boy on her left. �What do you think Blaise? Do you think she was more broke up about Draco or Potter?�

Blaise looked at her irritably �I really don�t bloody care Parkinson!� He growled. Pansy sat back in shock.

�What the Hell�s wrong with you Zabini?� Asked Draco as he and Harry made their way to the table.

Blaise rubbed his face �Two days Dray, two days completely clean.� he moaned piteously.

Draco patted him on the back in commiseration. �Why didn�t you keep a bit for yourself? I doubt Dumbledork would have noticed and Professor Snape doesn�t care.�

Blaise smacked himself in the forehead �Gods why didn�t I think of that?!�

�You�ve been snoggin� too many Hufflepuffs, rots the brain.� Said Greg seriously. Vince snorted into his pumpkin juice and Draco laughed loudly. �Good one Greg.� Pansy giggled. Harry just shook his head at them smiling. �Slytherins�.

�So Potter how�s it feel to be dating the hottest and most sought after boy in school?� asked Pansy after she had calmed.

Harry was about to respond but Draco cut him off �He wouldn�t know. After all, he can�t date himself.� Draco said winking at Harry who blushed at the compliment.

�Aww he is too cute Draco!� Squealed Milli.

�Oh for the love of Merlin woman, enough! You�ve been sighing and squealing about those two all weekend I�m starting to feel like I�m datin a Hufflepuff.� Groaned Greg.

Milli glared �Well if you�ve got such a problem with it maybe you should go date a Hufflepuff Gregory !� Greg flinched �I didn�t mean nothin by it Milli honestly.� Milli gave a sniff and went back to her magazine.

Greg looked a Draco who shook his head then to Vince who shrugged. He sighed and went back to his dinner knowing that he was in for a long nag tonight from his girlfriend.

Draco and Harry settled into a comfortable chat with Pansy and Blaise while eating, with the occasional comments from Vince and grunts from Greg, who wasn�t feeling much like talking anymore.

�Well, well, well look who finally decided to show his face?� sneered Theodore Nott walking up to the table behind Draco. Draco glared up at him. �Nott.� he greeted coldly.

�So why did you finally decide to grace us with your illustrious presence Malfoy? Did you finally get tried of breaking in your new toy?� He said with a nasty smirk. The smirk was wiped off his face in a flash when he suddenly had the business end off Draco�s wand digging into his troat and Draco�s other hand clutching the collar of his robes and the blondes face inches from his own in the blink of an eye. The table went silent.

�If you ever say something like that about my boyfriend again Nott I�ll shred you into to so many pieces that not even all the healers in St. Mungo�s will be able to put you back together. Do you understand me?� Draco hissed, his warm breath ghosting across the now pale boy�s face. Nott�s eyes widened and he nodded as best he could in his position.

�What is the meaning of this Mr. Malfoy?� Came the stern voice of Professor McGonagall.

�Theodore made a rather derogatory remark about Potter and Draco thought it wasn�t very nice.� Said Pansy glaring at Nott.

�And what exactly did he say?�

�Well Professor I�d rather not repeat it but I could wright it down if you like.� McGonagall nodded for her to do so.

Pansy removed a pink self inking quill and a scrap of parchment from her purse and scribbled down what Nott had said then handled it over.

McGonagall read the parchment and her eyes narrowed and her lips disappeared in her fury. �Mr. Nott detention! With me every night for the next month, starting right now!�

Nott�s face paled even further as McGonagall grabbed his arm and marched him from the hall.

�You know McGonagall�s not half bad.� Smirked Pansy.

Draco ignored the comment he was busy glaring at the back of Nott�s head as he was dragged from the hall, with his wand still clenched stiffly in his hand.

�Draco?� Harry said quietly touching his arm.
Draco�s head jerked to look at him.

�It�s okay, just sit down and let�s finish dinner alright?� Harry asked pulling lightly on his sleeve while glancing around the hall. It was then that Draco noticed that his altercation had attracted the attention of a good portion of the hall.

Draco sat down next to Harry again who was now blushing and looking down at his plate to avoid the stares. Draco glared at the hall�s inhabitants which caused the younger years and the less brave, like the majority of Hufflepuff, to look away. Draco leaned close to Harry. �I�m sorry for causing a scene but it certainly was not okay for Nott to speak to you like that and I was not going to stand for it.� He said fiercely.

Harry sighed �I know it�s not okay that he said it but I really just wanted to get through dinner without having the whole hall gawking at me.�

�It wasn�t the whole hall only about two thirds.� Said Vince with a sly grin. Harry glared and was about to tell him that was just as bad but he was interrupted by a shout from the Gryffindor table.

�Oi Harry mate! Why are you and Malfoy sittin� over there you could�ve sat with us!� Shouted Seamus. Harry put his head in his hands and prayed that Seamus would just shut up, that of course didn�t happen.

�We don�t have a problem with you datin� Malfoy like Ron. �Sides we need to know our new strategy now that McGonagall made you captain!� The Hall immediately became a den of conversation and speculation as to how and why Harry had become quidditch captain and for that matter where was the aforementioned red headed ex-captain?

Harry groaned. �Bloody Seamus and his big mouth.� he grumbled.

Vince snickered �See I told ya, now the whole Hall�s gawkin� at you.�

Harry glared yet again then stood up and to address the loud Irishman.

�Thank you Seamus, for informing the entire Hall about something that was truly none of their business!� Yelled the raven hair boy. Seamus shrank in his set, just realizing what he had done earlier. Everyone near him quickly scooted away not wanting to become a target should Harry decide to draw his wand.

�As for quidditch it can be discussed tonight in our dorm without the bloody audience!� fumed Harry.

�Language Mr. Potter.� called Dumbledore.

�Sorry Headmaster.� Harry turned to Draco. �Feel free to finish your dinner with your friends but I�ve suddenly lost my appetite.� with that Harry began to make his way from the Hall. Draco shot a glare at the cowering Irishman and stood to follow Harry.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It had taken a long walk around the lake and an even longer snogging session with Draco before Harry got over his anger and humiliation enough to think about heading up to Gryffindor tower.
Draco of course insisted on walking Harry to the portrait of the Fat Lady himself to insure he got there okay. It had nothing to do with getting in one last breath stealing kiss, not at all.

�So.� said Harry after catching his breath �I�ll meet you at the entrance to the Great Hall in the morning so we can have breakfast together?�

�Right.� said Draco running his fingers down Harry�s neck.
Harry smiled �It�s going to feel strange sleeping alone again.�

�You could always come back down to my room with me, I don�t mind.� smirked Draco.

�Yes but I think McGonagall might.� They just looked at each other for a moment until the were interrupted by the Fat Lady clearing her troat.

�Will you be entering some time this evening, or do you just plan to stand here all night?� she asked.

Draco glared and Harry laughed. �Well I suppose this is Goodnight then.� Harry leaned up and gave Draco one last soft kiss and turned to the portrait whispering the password.

�Goodnight Love.� Draco said softly.

Harry watched Draco walk away until he lost sight of him around a corner then with a sigh entered the portrait hole and headed for a very unpleasant conversation.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
All things considered the night went well for both boys though they both didn�t sleep nearly as well as they had together. Harry had simply passed out after a long discussion about quidditch and who they were going to get to take Ron�s position for the up coming game.

He would have gotten to bed sooner had Seamus not felt the need to apologize every three minutes for embarrassing him in the Great Hall. But when all was said and done they had decided to hold a tryouts after dinner today, Monday, to find the best choice for a temporary replacement for Ron and decided to practice every night this week in the hopes they could train the replacement enough not to get completely slaughtered by Slytherin on Friday.

Draco and Harry had met outside the Great Hall as planned and were now seated with the other Gryffindors having breakfast.
�So did you find anyone interested in being our temporary keeper?� asked Ginny.

�Yeah I found four people, three boys, one girl.� replied harry around a mouth full of eggs. Draco and Hermione gave him disapproving looks for talking with his mouth full but he just smiled and swallowed before continuing.

�There�s Mark Harrison forth year, Sharon Newbrook and Chris Kennedy fifth years and Jackson Lawrence sixth year. There were some third years interested too but they backed out once they found out they would be playing against Slytherin Friday if they were chosen.� Draco smirked and Harry pinched him.

A moment later the twins sauntered up to the table and instead of taking the space cleared out for them between Ginny and Neville they choose to insinuate themselves on either side of Draco. Throughly annoying the blonde and confusing the rest of the table, Harry just scooted down and waited to see what they were up to.

�Good morning Malfoy!� said Fred cheerfully. �Sleep well?� asked George.

Draco glanced at each of them then replied �Good morning Weasley�s, I slept fine and yourselves?�

�Fine just fine! Hey we were wondering...� said Fred.

�If you could do us a small favor?� finished George.

Draco eyed them suspiciously �What type of favor?�

�Oh nothing bad.� assured Fred.

�We Just need you...� said George.

�To give your Father this letter.� Fred pulled out a canary yellow parchment with orange border sealed with magenta wax with three overlapping W�s. Draco took the letter gingerly and arched and eyebrow at the color.

�We would have sent it ourselves..�

�But we weren�t sure where..�

�He would want it sent.�

Draco nodded �I see, well that would depend if it were business or personal.�

The twins looked at each other then said together �It�s a bit of both.�

Draco blinked, not entirely used to the twins and their way of speaking. �Right, well then I�ll send it to the Manor. I was going to write him this evening anyway so I�ll send it then.�

The twins grinned. �Excellent. You can use our owl if you like.� said Fred.

�I�m sure Zeus can handle it but if you would like yours to get some exercise I could send them separately. Which is your owl?�

�Oh you�ll know him when you see him, his name is Piccalilli� said George.

Draco raised and eyebrow at him �Piccalilli? You mean like the relish?�

�Yep, and like Georgie said you�ll know him when you see him.�

Draco just nodded. Harry giggled having already met Piccalilli, or Pickle as he was sometimes called, earlier this summer. He couldn�t wait until Draco saw him and Harry was definitely going to come along to help post his letters.

�Come on guys Potions starts in fifteen and I don�t want to be late.� Said Harry.

Everyone in seventh year potions grumbled, especially the twins who hadn�t gotten a proper breakfast.

Dean looked up to the head table to see if he could catch a glimpse of the Potions Master to see how foul a mood he was in today and noticed to he as well as Professors Black and Lupin were missing.

�Oi where�s Snape and Professors Lupin and Black?� The seventh years looked up at the head table.

�That�s odd.� remarked Hermione �They�ve not been to a single meal in the Great Hall since Friday Dinner.�

Harry and Draco shared a conspiratorial smile, both of them knowing why the Professors had been missing and most liking why they were missing now. Or at least why Snape was missing this morning, he was obviously trying to delay the inevitable reaction to his new look. The Twins caught their smile and immediately pounced.

�What do you know...�

�That we don�t?�

Harry smiled sweetly �Oh nothing really, but let me just say that all of you that aren�t in NEWT level potions are going to be missing out.� With that Harry grabbed Draco�s hand and they began to make their way down to the dungeons.

The Twins looked at each other then quickly grabbed their bags and some hastily made bacon and egg sandwiches and sprinted after the couple.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The seventh year students were all impatiently waiting for the classroom door to open. They had all gathered from the Twins that Harry and Draco knew something big was happening in potions today and were refusing to say a word about it. Harry and Draco were at their wits end with all the questions, threats and bribes that had been thrown at them and just wanted to get into class so that they would end.

Then precisely two minutes before class was to start the lock clicked open and the class filed in quickly and took their seats, though there was a bit a shuffling do to the fact that Harry and Draco wanted to be partners so Harry and Blaise had to switch seats thus making Blaise partners with Hermione.

At exactly nine the classroom door burst open and Snape strode in, in a swirl of black robes. The class went silent. This wasn�t the normal fear of having your head ripped off and half you house�s points taken away kind of silence, no this was stunned speechless silence.

Snape did his usual dramatic turn that caused his voluminous robes to whip around him and faced the class. He folded his arms across his chest and glared at the gaping students as if daring them to utter one syllable about his appearance.

Harry and Draco shared a amused look at the reactions of their classmates, which ranged from disbelief and shock to barely contained lust. Yes their Potions Master was hot.

Though he was wearing his normal flowing black robes and customary scowl, they seemed to make him look more dangerously attractive now instead of just ominously dangerous. The class couldn�t help but notice his newly altered nose, a nose that was no longer the focal point of his, now that they took the time to notice, rather attractive face. His face they also noticed didn�t seem as oily or sallow looking and his hair! Gods his hair was clean!

�Pr-Professor Snape?� asked Pansy uncertainly.

�Yes Miss Parkinson?� Drawled the Potions Mater.

�You-you�re...� she stuttered.

�Bloody Hot!� chorused the Twins.

Snape glared, though it lacked some heat because of the slight pink tinge that had entered his pale cheeks. �Ten points from Gryffindor for speaking out of turn!� He then swept narrowed eyes around the room daring anyone else to speak, wisely no one did. �Today we will be brewing The Assechons Venin* Potion, can anyone tell me what is it�s main purpose?� asked Snape with a raised brow.

For once Hermione didn�t raise her hand as she was still staring at the Potions Master. Surprisingly it was Harry that raised his hand.

�Mr. Potter?�

�The Assechons Venin Potion is used to draw out poison from wounds.� said Harry quietly.

�That is correct and what other use does it have?�

�It can also be used to draw out infections but only on open wounds, if the wound has closed the skin must be lanced before it is applied.� Said Harry his voice slightly strained on the second half of his answer remembering when the potion had been used on him after one of the war�s minor battles.

�Very good Mr. Potter five points to Gryffindor.� That statement effectively woke everyone from their stupor. Snape waved his wand and a list appeared on the board. �Your list of ingredients is on the board and the instructions are on page 693 in your Advanced Potions books. You have two and a half hours to finish and you are to work alone the last thirty minutes of class are to be spent writing an essay about what effect adding aloe to the potion during it�s third brewing stage would have on it�s healing properties in no less then twelve inches. Now get to work!�

Everyone jumped into action gathering ingredients and setting up equipment and soon the room was filled with the sound of chopping knives and bubbling cauldrons.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Three and a half hours later Harry was rushing towards the Hospital Wing to meet with Remus for his appointment. Harry had spent the whole of lunch being questioned along with Draco about how they had known about Snape�s new look at the Slytherin table.

Snape himself had been throughly questioned by the staff at the head table. He had of course told them it was no ones business but his own and had quickly eaten his meal and left. After his departure the volume had risen to an alarming level as the less courageous portion of the student body had joined in the gossip.

Harry was just happy to finally be out of the hall it had only taken him about ten minutes to eat his lunch the other twenty were spent trying to get away from the curious group Slytherins.

Entering the wing Harry saw Remus talking with Madam Pomfrey at the far end of the wing they saw him and waved him over.

�Hello Harry how is your day going?� asked Remus with a smile.

� It�s going good. Potions was a blast.� he answered with a grin.

Remus chuckled �I�ll bet, so how many points were lost?�

Before Harry could answer Sirius jogged up to them. �Hey I haven�t missed anything yet have I?�

Remus just smiled and shook his head. �No Padfoot we haven�t started my exam yet, Poppy has to gather some things first. I was just asking Harry about Potions.�

Sirius� eyes lit up �Oh what happened, are the Gryffindors in negative points? How many Hufflepuffs did he make cry?�

Harry laughed �Well like I was about to tell Remus it really wasn�t that bad. Ravenclaw lost 20 points, Hufflepuff only lost 10 because there�s only two of them and the only reason they lost 10 was because Hanna fell off her stool when he shouted at her for staring. Gryffindor lost 35 mostly because of the Twins and after awhile he just started giving them detentions with Filch �cause the wouldn�t stop making wolf whistles at him.� By this point Sirius had to sit down on a bed he was laughing so hard and Remus� was trying and failing to hide his laughter behind his hand.

�The Slytherins surprisingly lost 30 points because Pansy wouldn�t stop staring and Blaise blew up his cauldron when he added too much powdered dragon scale because he was too busy staring at Professor Snape�s arse when he leaned over to look at Justin�s potion to notice. Hermione was not pleased with him at all because the explosion ruined her potion. In the end only Draco and I managed to get our potions right. On the up side I answered a question right and got 5 points.� Harry finished with a smile.

Sirius gasped for air �Oh th-that is too good...I can�t wait to-to hear what happens in his third year class this afternoon, it�s all Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.� Sirius broke off into fits of laughter, it took him nearly ten minutes and the threat of a calming drought from Poppy to calm down.

After Sirius had calmed Madam Pomfrey got to her examination of Remus. Harry watched everything with interest occasionally asking questions about procedures. When not asking questions Harry talked to Sirius about his Christmas plans and was surprised to find that Sirius, Remus and Severus were most likely going to be at the Manor as well over the hols and he encouraged Harry to except Draco�s invitation.

After about thirty minutes of scans and questions Poppy stated it was a good time to let Harry cast the paternity spell.

�Alright Harry I�ll show you the wand movement and after you�ve practiced it you may preform the spell. Now this is how it�s done.� Poppy showed him the wand movement a several times and after a few minutes of practiced deemed him ready.

�Very good Harry now the incantation is �Aperio Paternum�, remember to speak it very clearly.�

Harry nodded and waved his wand �Aperio Paternum�. A piece of parchment appeared in front of Poppy.

�Oops your aim was a bit off Harry you hit me.� She chuckled.

Harry�s eyes widened �Y-you�re pregnant?�

�Oh heavens no dear. The spell can also be used to determine if you are truly pregnant, as well as tell the paternity. If you cast it on someone who is not pregnant a blank parchment appears, you see?� She showed Harry the blank piece of parchment.

�Oh ok, let me try again. Aperio Paternum.� Harry waved his wand again. This time a parchment appeared in front of Remus and Sirius.

�Oh looks like you hit them both dear.� Chuckled Poppy.

�Oh well no harm done. Here Harry you see since I am pregnant it shows that Sirius and I are the fathers.� Said Remus handing over the parchment. Harry looked at it, and it indeed said �Carrier: Remus Jay Lupin, Sire: Sirius Orion Black�.

Harry grinned �Neat! This is so cool want to see it Sirius?...Sirius?�

Sirius didn�t move, he was staring at the parchment that had appeared in front of him in shock his face deathly pale.

�Sirius? Siri are you alright?� Remus asked worriedly. When no answer came Remus looked down at the parchment in his hand and gasped.

�What is it Remus?� asked Poppy alarmed. Remus plucked the parchment from Sirius� stiff fingers and handed it to her. Poppy read it quickly. �Oh my!�

�What? What�s going on? What did the spell do to Sirius? Is he okay?� Harry asked wringing his hands.

Poppy snapped to attention. �Harry go fetch Professor Snape quickly.�

�But what�s...�

�Now Mr. Potter.� she snapped.

Harry nodded and ran out of the hall and toward the dungeons.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Six exploded cauldrons, SIX, and the class wasn�t even half over. Snape sighed, he was never going to survive the week if this was what he would have to endure with the rest of his classes. Thank Merlin he only had one more class then it was dinner and bed. To hell with rounds let Minerva do them for once or Filch he at least enjoyed it.

Severus scanned the room and sneered. It appeared only three students still had anything salvageable in their cauldrons. What a waste of ingredients. He was just about to tell them to just start cleaning their cauldrons when Potter burst through the door.

�Professor Snape!� exclaimed Harry.

Three Hufflepuffs and one Ravenclaw girl screamed and one boy fell off his stool in shock.

�Potter what is the meaning of this!� Shouted Snape.

�Pro..Professor I ne...need a word... with you in the corridor... it�s urgent.� Harry panted.

Snape glared but it was more for the class�s benefit then that he was angry with Harry, he knew the boy was smart enough not to interrupt one of his classes in less it was a dire matter.

�Keep working!� he snarled at the class then stepped out into the corridor with Harry who was, once again wringing his hands.

�What is it Mr. Potter?�

�It�s Sirius. We were in the Hospital Wing while Remus was getting his check up and Poppy let me do the paternity spell only something must have gone wrong because Sirius went still and turned pale and he wouldn�t answer us. Madam Pomfrey told me to come get you quick.� rambled Harry.

Severus paled, something was wrong with Sirius? Something so bad that Poppy had called him out of class.

Snape grabbed Harry�s arm and dragged him into the classroom and marched him to the front.

�Sneed, Burnhart and Freeburg finish and bottle your potions and leave them on my desk for inspection. The rest of you clean your cauldrons and begin writing a paper on what the Shrinking Potion is meant to look and smell like with brewed correctly and what it�s uses are, other than the obvious. Three feet due next class period. I must see to a matter of great importance Mr. Potter is in charge until I return.� Harry�s head whipped around to stare at Snape.

�He has full authority and may remove points and give out detentions as he sees fit.� With that Snape stalked quickly out of the room leaving a room full of shocked third years and one overwhelmed seventh year.

Severus ducked quickly into a secret passageway that would come out near the Hospital wing and began running.

It took no time at all before he came bursting through the doors of the wing startling it�s three occupants.

�What�s wrong with him Poppy, what has Potter done?� demanded Snape striding quickly towards his lovers.

Sirius was now laying on a bed starring at the ceiling. �He didn�t do anything.� said Sirius quietly.

Severus let out a sigh of relief seeing that Sirius was now at least coherent even if he was still quite pale.

�I don�t understand. Potter came bursting into my classroom and demanded to speak with me privately in the corridor where he told me a faulty spell of his caused Sirius to become unresponsive.�

�The spell wasn�t faulty. In fact it worked a bit too well.� said Poppy.

Snape�s brows furrowed. �What do you mean, it worked too well? If the spell worked correctly why did he become unresponsive?�

Poppy looked to Remus uncertainly.

�Well it wasn�t the spell that caused it. He was simply in shock.� stated Madam Pomfrey.

�Shock? Over what?� Poppy and Remus exchanged looks again.

�Well Severus...um.. Well you see it�s like this...it uh..� Remus stammered. Severus was quickly becoming frustrated with the lack of answers.

�For the love of Merlin just give him the damn parchment.� snapped Sirius covering his eyes with a hand. Remus and Poppy jumped and Poppy quickly handed over the parchment to Severus.

Severus took the parchment and read it. He blinked then read it again. �I-is this correct?� he asked quietly.

�Yes Severus I checked it again myself.� Assured Poppy.

Snape read the parchment again just to make sure he hadn�t imagined it the first two times but the words were the same.

�Carrier: Sirius Orion Black, Sire: Severus Tobias Snape�

Severus looked at Sirius who had uncovered his eyes and was now watching him quietly. �Y-you pregnant? With my child?�

Sirius gave weary smile �Yeah apparently, or at least that�s what Poppy tells me.� he tried to joke but his tone was strained.

�When? How far along are you?�

Sirius waved at Poppy to answer questions as he wasn�t really up to it just yet.

�As far as I can tell Sirius conceived at or around the same time as Remus. They appear to be at exactly the same point in gestation.� remarked the Medi-witch.

�Is the baby...or babies alright?� Severus asked uncertainly.

Poppy smiled �Baby, there�s only the one, and yes the baby seems to be just fine. Though Sirius gave us quite the scare when he went still.�

�Can you blame me? I had just found out that in less then seven months I�m going to be the father of three. Not only that but I�m carrying and going to give birth to one of them.� groused Sirius.

�Oh I see how it is.� Remarked Remus. �It�s perfectly alright for me to carry and give birth to twins but it�s inconvenient when you�re the one that has to carry the child.� it was said jokingly but Sirius ignored the tone.

�Yes it�s bloody inconvenient! I was supposed to help you through your pregnancy with the twins. I was supposed to be fetching you food cravings and rubbing your feet when they ached. I was supposed to cover for you in classes when you felt too ill. I was supposed to rub your back and wipe your face with a cool cloth when you had morning sickness. I was supposed to walk with you to the Great Hall and class to make sure you didn�t fall on the stairs. Now I can�t do most of that because it will be happening to me as well. What happens if we�re both ill, who will cover our classes? This is extremely bloody inconvenient! Because now instead of me helping Sev take care of you when you need it he will be stuck helping us both! So instead of feeling excited like I know I should I just feel fucking guilty for not being able to help Sev like I wanted to!� by the time Sirius had finished there were angry tears in his eyes.

Remus and Poppy were silent not sure how to respond to Sirius� tirade. Severus on the other hand strode forward and set next to him on the bed taking one of his hands. Sirius looked up at him morosely.

�Sirius never feel guilty about this child. This child is no burden it is a wonderful gift and I thank you from the bottom for my heart for giving it to me.� Severus bent down and kissed Sirius lightly.

Sirius blinked back tears. �But Sev it will be so hard on you how can I not feel guilty?�

Severus snorted �Next to spying among deatheaters while trying to Longbottom potions and keeping your blasted godson out of trouble caring for the two of you will be a walk in the park.� drawled the Potions Master.

Sirius laughed �Well if you put it like that I suppose your right.�

�Of course I�m right. I thought we had determined that I am always right years ago.� sniffed Severus.

Sirius smacked his arm �Prat.�

�Mut.� smiled Snape.

�Well now that everyone is feeling more agreeable why don�t I give Sirius a full check up then we can discuss the changes you are going to have make to your diet and behavior.� said Poppy.
Sirius groaned and Remus snickered having already gotten the lecture.

An hour later Sirius had a list of potions, which Severus confiscated, a list foods he should be eating, a list of foods he shouldn�t eat, a list of activities he was no longer allowed to do, a calendar of appointments with Poppy for the whole of his pregnancy and a book that told him what he could expect during each stage of the pregnancy. He had been lectured about eating properly and resting properly. He had been lectured about not overdoing anything and told he was to ask for help with things and not use too much magic as it was bad for the baby. He was lectured about staying organized and keeping his temper in check as too much stress was bad on the baby. And during the whole of the lectures Sirius glowered and Remus chuckled at him. Severus asked questions and made notes of all things, and swore that he would make sure that both Sirius and Remus would follow the things she had said.
Finally Poppy had finished and Sirius was ready for a nap.

�Well gentleman I think that�s everything, do you have any more questions?�

Severus looked like he was about to ask something when Sirius cut him off. �No! No we�re good, if we have any questions we�ll be sure to come see you. I don�t know about you Remi but I�m not up to teaching class this afternoon I just want to go lie down for awhile.� Remus nodded �Also I�m sure Harry is wondering what�s going on.� Sirius seemed to realize at that moment the Harry was no longer there.

�Speaking of Harry, where did he go to?� asked the blue eyed man.

Severus paled �Sweet Merlin I left him in charge of the third years!�

Remus stared in shock �You left him in charge of your class!? Please tell me they weren�t brewing!�

�I have to go!� stated Snape rushing out of the wing and toward the dungeons.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry stared at the closed door in horror. He had be left in charge of an entire class of students. Potions students. Third year potions students. Third year potions students who were still brewing. Suddenly Harry flashed back to his third year potions classes, remembering several tremendous explosions and fires and turned slightly green.

One of the Ravenclaws raised their hand.

�Y-yes um... what�s your name?� stuttered Harry.

�Francine Gardner. What should we do with our unused ingredients?� said the girl.

Harry blinked �Um well.. I-if they haven�t been contaminated I suppose Professor Snape would want to reuse them so gather them up and set them on separate clean dissecting trays on his desk. As for the liquid ingredients I�ll go get some clean vials for you to put them in.� Harry started to walk to the equipment cabinet when he saw one of the Hufflepuffs start to head for the sink. The boy was about to start running water into his cauldron. Harry whipped out his wand and stunned him before he could turn the tap.

Several of students cried out at his sudden reaction and began to talk nervously. Harry levitated the cauldron back to the boy�s work table then unfroze him.

�I�m sorry I had to do that but you should really know by now that you are to never put water into a dirty cauldron unless directed to by Professor Snape! It could have had a reaction and hurt you or the class.� Lectured Harry.

�Now no one is to put water in their cauldrons you should all use a scouring spell, if you don�t know one please just start straitening up around your work station until I can get to you and clean it myself. Once you�ve cleaned up start on your homework. Those of you who the Professor didn�t assign the paper to after you�ve finished your potions please clean up then you may work on other homework or do some other quiet activity until the end of class or until Professor Snape returns to tells you different. Does everyone understand?� the class nodded as one. �Good now I�ll be right back with some clean vials for your liquid ingredients.�

After the incident with cauldron the class went fairly smoothly other than a few dropped vials and spilt ingredients. The class was nearing it�s end and all the students were all quietly working on homework or reading when Professor Snape strode in the door.

If Harry hadn�t spent so much time with the Potions Master over the years he would have missed the split second look of surprise the flashed across the Professor�s face. He hadn�t missed it though and Harry was quite pleased with himself.

�Well Mr. Potter it appears I was right to leave you in charge as it seems my class is still intact.� drawled Snape. Just after speaking the bell range. The class looked to the professor who nodded.

�Class dismissed!�

Harry hung back until the rest of the class had left before questioning Snape. �Professor is Sirius alright? My spell didn�t hurt him badly did it?� he asked nervously.

�No he is fine....well perhaps not fine.� chuckled Snape.

�What do you mean? What did I do?�

�You did nothing but diagnose him.�

�What?�

Severus chuckled before sitting behind his covered desk and gesturing for Harry to sit. Harry did warily and Snape waved his wand at the door producing a sign declaring his next class was canceled.

�What did I diagnose him for?� asked Harry hesitantly.

�What the spell is meant to diagnose of course.� smirked Snape.

Harry blinked �Y-you mean Sirius is pregnant?�

Severus� smirk grew �Indeed.�

�A-and you�re the other Father?�

�Correct again Mr. Potter.� Snape�s smirk had grown into a full blown smile.

Harry smiled as well �Congratulations Professor! Oh I have to get to defense and congratulate Sirius too!� Harry stood but Snape�s raised hand stopped him.

�You won�t find him there he and Remus have canceled there class as well and I believe Sirius has gone to lie down. It was quite a shock you see.� chuckled Snape.

Harry giggle �Yeah him going still and quiet make since now.�

�Yes I�m afraid I feared the worst when you described his symptoms. I do apologize for leaving you to mind my class when I left that was unfair and unwise of me.� said Severus solemnly.

�It�s no problem I understand you wanting to get to Sirius quickly.� said Harry with a smile.

�Yes but leaving you in charge of twenty students armed with potential explosives was very irresponsible of me. I�m relieved and more than a little surprised that I found you and the class unharmed when I returned.�

�I noticed that. But it really wasn�t bad. Well other then when I had to stun that Hufflepuff.� snorted Harry.

�You stunned a Hufflepuff? Whatever for?� puzzled Snape even though he could think of a few good reasons to, even outside of class.

Harry told him about the cauldron and cleaning up as well as gathering up the unused ingredients.

�Well that explains the clutter on the desk. That was very smart of you to stun the boy who knows what would of happened when he added water to it. That boy is just a step above Longbottom in his potions skills.� muttered Snape.

Harry laughed �Actually it was remembering some of the things that happened to Neville that made me stop him I didn�t want a repeat without you there to help.� Harry looked down at the covered desk. �Would you like some help sorting these out Professor?�

�No thank you Mr. Potter I can see to it myself you�ve done enough for me today.�

�Call me Harry please. I mean we�re practically family now.� smiled Harry.

Severus smiled in return �Indeed we are. Very well �Harry� but you must call me Severus then, only in private of course.�

�Of course. Um Pro..Severus would it be alright if Draco and I came by your rooms after dinner? I�d like to congratulate Sirius.�

�That would be fine.�

�Alright I�ll see you later this evening then.� Harry was almost out the door when Severus called out to him.

�Oh and Harry?�

�Yes Sir?�

�30 points to Gryffindor for assisting a Professor and for preventing a potentially harmful accident.�

Harry grinned �Thank you Sir and don�t worry I won�t tell anyone you gave me the points.�

�Thank you Harry my reputation is becoming strained as it is.� grumble Snape.

Severus began to sort ingredients to the retreating sounds of Harry�s laughter. �Really� thought Snape �The boy isn�t that bad at all.�
