A/N: Hey guys. Sorry about the delay in chapters. I had
finals… ‘nuff said. I hope this chapter is up to par and I hope the length is
satisfactory.
Chapter Six
XXXhpssXXX
When Brenna left that night, Harry
turned to Severus. “Can we visit Grimmauld Place?”
Severus grinned at him. “If you
think you’re ready to face all of the questions…”
“I’m ready,” Harry said, smiling
brightly.
“Draco, would you like to
accompany us?” Severus asked.
Draco smirked. “Of course… this
will be a good chance to get some free entertainment.”
Harry rolled his eyes. “Let’s just
go…” He grabbed a handful of floo powder and tossed it into the fire. “Number twelve
Grimmauld Place.”
He fell out of the hearth onto the
floor of the house that he now owned and glanced up just as Severus and Draco
stepped into the room gracefully. Cursing their poise, he stood, brushing
himself off self-consciously. He looked around to see Remus, Tonks, Hermione,
and Ron staring at him in a mixture of shock and curiosity.
“Hey, you guys. Surprised to see
me?” he said, chuckling nervously.
Ron suddenly burst into laughter.
“Why is it that you still can’t floo properly?”
He blushed lightly. “Shut up…”
“Harry,” Hermione said, gravely,
“Maybe you should sit down. We definitely need to talk.”
He sighed, sitting on the sofa
next to her. Severus immediately occupied the remaining cushion and Draco sat
on the arm. “What do you want to know? I thought I covered everything in my
letter.”
“You pretty much did,” Hermione
said, “But… your letter said that Professor Snape told you that you wouldn’t be
able to leave the house until you found your mate or learned to hide your
magical signature.”
“Yes and?” Harry urged, though he
knew what she was leading to.
“And I can definitely sense your magical signature,” Hermione said,
“So, you had to have found your mate, seeing as Remus isn’t going crazy.
However, that’s not possible unless your mate happens to be one of the two
people you’ve had contact with since the gene’s activation…”
Harry coughed uncomfortably. He
had hoped that they wouldn’t put it together yet… he didn’t want to have to
tell them. ‘But nothing can be easy for
The Boy-Who-Lived…’ he thought bitterly. He sighed and ran a hand through
his already tousled hair, making Severus smirk.
“Well… see, the thing is…” Harry
stuttered, looking at Severus for help.
“Harry,” Remus said, “It’s
Severus, isn’t it?”
Harry had the decency to blush and
looked away from the shocked expressions on his friends’ faces. He knew that
they wouldn’t like it… he hadn’t even wanted to tell them. But they just had to pry, didn’t they? He hazarded a
glance over at Hermione and saw that she was grinning like a madwoman, and then
looked at Ron, who trying to hide his laughter. Draco, too, was snickering
quietly. He looked next to him at Severus and noticed a faint tinge of pink in
his cheeks. He smiled.
“It’s not funny!” Hermione chided,
“It’s a very serious situation!”
Ron and Draco burst into
simultaneous giggle-fits, doubling over with the force of it. “But, Hermione…”
Ron said, “He’s- blushing!”
Draco controlled himself first,
and sighed. “It’s really not that funny… they’re loud as hell!”
Ron choked on his laughter.
“What?” he exclaimed, “Oh… bloody hell! They actually… I did not need that visual!”
Harry chuckled. “Then think about
something that you like…”
Ron grinned stupidly. “Like
Hermione in that lacy white thing that Ginny got for her…”
Hermione smacked him- hard.
“Ronald! That’s just about enough of that!”
“So… you’re not completely
disgusted?” Harry asked.
“Why would we be, Harry?” Tonks
asked, “It’s perfectly normal in the wizarding world, especially for other
races.”
Harry sighed in relief. “Thank
Merlin. You have no idea how afraid I was to tell you.”
“Well, now you can sleep again,”
Ron said.
“I doubt it…” Draco muttered
ruefully.
Harry blushed again. “Let’s stop
talking now, okay?”
“Harry,” Remus said, “About my
last visit…”
“Remus, it was entirely my fault.
It’s forgotten,” Harry interrupted.
Remus smiled at him.
“So… can we see them?” Hermione
asked.
“See what?” Harry replied.
“Your wings! Can we see them?” she
repeated, her eyes wide with hope.
He grinned, standing up and calling
his wings to him. They stared in awe at the breathtaking sight before them.
Harry had always been an attractive young man, but with the ethereal blue
markings and wings… he truly looked like an angel. Tonks sighed in
appreciation.
“That is one good-looking boy…”
she said, “If only you were a few years older, Harry…”
“He would still be completely off-limits,” Severus growled, his onyx eyes
boring into hers, “I do not share what is rightfully mine.”
She blinked in surprise.
Harry chuckled. “Possessive, isn’t
he? It’s a wonder I’m allowed to share a room with Draco.”
Tonks laughed. “I think it’s sweet.”
“What are you going to do when
Harry goes back to school?” Hermione asked Severus.
“What are you talking about?”
Severus said, his eyes narrowing.
Harry’s eyes widened in
realization and he suddenly grinned.
Hermione smirked. “You mean you
don’t know? Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnegan are- well… flamboyantly gay- to put
it in layman’s terms.”
“This matters to me, why?” Severus
said.
“Dean and Seamus are both in
Harry’s dorm,” she said, laughter shining in her chocolate brown eyes.
He growled, wrapping an arm around
Harry’s waist and pulling him to his side. “Absolutely not. I forbid it.”
Harry chuckled. “There’s nothing
you can do, Sev. I’ve been living with them for years. Any comments or
suggestions they’ve made have all been for fun. They’re so involved with each
other that it’s a wonder they ever even noticed me.”
“No, it’s not,” Draco said,
“Pardon the expression, but you’re hotter than hell.”
“I’m afraid he’s right, Harry,”
Hermione said, “Though, I always thought that Draco was straight.”
“Oh, I am,” Draco said, “But being
straight doesn’t mean that I can’t appreciate true beauty when I see it. Girls
call each other cute all of the time… the fact that most guys aren’t secure
enough in their masculinity to attest to other guys’ looks, doesn’t make that
true of all of us.”
Hermione laughed. “I’m terribly
sorry if I offended you, Draco.”
“No, you’re not,” Ron said.
“You’re probably right,” she
agreed, smiling.
“So… you’re seriously okay with
all of this?” Harry asked, looking at them skeptically.
“Yes!” Ron exclaimed, “For Merlin’s sake, Harry, it’s not like you
can help it.”
“And even if you could, it’s your choice, so we’ll just
have to live with it,” Hermione added.
He smiled, finally satisfied.
“Thanks you guys. You have no idea how much this means to me…”
“I’m sure you’ll find some way to
repay us,” Ron said, grinning.
“Yes, like saving you all from a
raging psycho with a lust for power,” Remus said nonchalantly.
Harry laughed. “It’ll be easy with
all of these new powers.”
“Don’t overestimate yourself,
Harry,” Hermione warned, “You can’t afford to be caught off guard because you
think you have the upper hand.”
He sighed. “I know, Hermione… I
promise I’ll be careful when it comes down to that, okay?”
“Can we find a happier topic of
conversation now?” Draco said.
“Watch what I can do!” Harry said,
smiling as he held out his hand and created little twisters in his palm.
Hermione gasped. “What spell is
that?”
“It’s not a spell… I’m an
elemental,” Harry explained, “I can call and control all four elements, but my
main element is air. Pretty cool, isn’t it?”
“Yeah…” Ron said, grinning, “Don’t
tell anybody at school about that, okay?”
“Why?” Harry asked.
“Can you imagine the trouble we
can cause?” Ron said, his eyes alight with mischief, “The skirts will fly…”
Hermione smacked him in the face
with a pillow. “Ronald Weasley!”
“Sorry, ‘Mione, but I am a guy,” he said, “I love you and all,
but… you know how teenage boys are. We’re hormonally challenged.”
Hermione laughed. “That’s for
sure.”
“I hope you aren’t planning on
causing too much trouble…” Severus said, narrowing his eyes.
“If they’re anything like James
and Sirius- which I believe they are,” Remus said, “Then they are planning
quite a bit of trouble.”
“Nothing dangerous… just a few
harmless pranks,” Harry said, smiling innocently.
“Yes, and besides, I’ll watch over
them and make sure it doesn’t go too far,” Draco said.
Tonks rolled her eyes. “That’s
reassuring,” she said sarcastically.
“So, will you be staying for the
night?” Remus asked.
Harry looked at Severus, hope
shining in his deep green eyes, and the man sighed, rolling his eyes.
“Yes!” Harry exclaimed
triumphantly, immediately finding himself pulled up the stairs by Hermione and
Ron with Draco trailing behind them.
“Severus…” Remus said when they
heard the door close.
“I already know what you’re
thinking,” he said, “I did not force
this onto Harry. In fact, I gave him several chances to get out of it. He could
have denied the connection and still been perfectly content in another
relationship. However, he would hear nothing of it and insisted that maybe-
what was it he said- destiny had gotten something right, for once.”
Remus grinned. “Sounds like Harry,
alright. But… are you sure this is what you
want?”
He was surprised that Remus cared
so much about his feelings, but quickly hid it behind his mask. “I’m sure. I
don’t really know what I feel for him yet, but I know that I care for him and I
only want to ensure his happiness.”
“That sounds like love to me,”
Tonks said.
Severus raised a disbelieving
eyebrow. “I highly doubt that my feelings are quite that advanced, but I hope
that someday they are. And that Harry can come to love an old man, like me.”
“Yes, because aren’t mutual
feelings of love required in order to complete the bonding and procreate?”
Remus asked.
“Listen to you!” Tonks laughed,
“Procreate? Bah! What, are you ninety? Make babies… create life… put a bun in
the oven… anything but those damned text-book terms!”
Severus chuckled. “To answer your
question, yes, they are.”
“I thought so…” Remus said, “Well,
considering what you’ve just told me and what Harry told me in his letter, I
guess I have to accept this. I wish you both as much happiness as you deserve.”
He offered his hand, which Severus took, grateful for the support of Harry’s friends
and mentor.
“Well, isn’t this nice?” Tonks
said, smiling brightly, “You two have finally put aside your differences… Harry
will be so happy!”
Remus sighed. “Has anybody ever
told you that you are incredibly exhausting?”
“Oh, all the time!” she said cheerfully,
skipping up the stairs.
Remus sighed again. “Would you
like some tea, Severus?”
“Actually, I’d prefer something a
little stronger, if you have it,” he said, grinning.
“We have whiskey, brandy, and
vodka,” Remus replied.
“Whiskey, definitely…”
