Chapter 7
Happy Christmas

Harry laid on the bed, starring at the ceiling as he tried to will himself to sleep. Severus had helped him quite a lot during the holiday break, for which he was both surprised and thankful. The Slytherin was warm and intelligent when you got beyond the barriers he had put up to guard himself from those who would abuse and tease him, which, Harry soon learned, were a lot of people� He felt a little guilty thinking that he had not helped the matter in his present, having teased and sneered at the older version of the boy.

This thought bothered him most of all. He had got into the habit of forgetting that Severus was Snape, which was, in itself, a silly think to do. They looked alike, but he found that he was forgetting things from his present the longer he stayed here. He couldn�t remember Hermione�s face all that well, and Ron was fading out as well, being replaced by Remus and Sirius� faces when he thought of his friends�

Of course, all these trains of thoughts led him to wonder how this charming, warm young man, turned into the cold greasy git in his present? How could a boy who snuggles up to a fuzzy black kitten, be so cold and cruel, or at least seem like it? It seemed impossible that they were the same person�

As soft sigh escaped his lips. In truth, he had grown rather attached to Severus, though he would die before he admitted it out loud. It was all so strange though. He had never found himself attracted to other men before.. He couldn�t remember a single instance. But then, he wasn�t all that found of the other gender either, after that fiasco with Cho Chang� Still, as he watched Severus sleeping, he felt the need to be help by the other boy, cuddling against his small pale frame and relaxing against him as he too caught some sleep. He shook his head, quickly dispelling the thoughts. Alright, so he would have t come to term with his sexual orientation, that wasn�t too bad of a jump� But then, it was just too strange, wanting to be held by Snape.

Harry sighed once more as he climbed off his bed, and found a pile of gifts at the foot of his bed. He had completely forgot Christmas! He looked over and Severus had a small pile as well. Who would send Harry gifts though? Other than Dumbledore? There was no one here he knew� Unless you counted the Marauders?

He walked over and quickly opened one of the gifts. It was from James, he had given him some quidditch books. He smiled fondly as he remembered talking all about wanting to be seeker and James laughing at him and challenging him to a game. It was a close one, but James had won by a fraction of a second, Harry�s hand having closed around his a moment after. Remus� gift was strange to say the least. It was a small black ring. It seemed like they all had one, it was a way to notify them if one of them was in trouble. He was a Marauder now.

Last was Sirius. . It was a magic knife� just like the one he gave him� just like the one he broke� He set it aside. There was a small note, wishing him a happy Christmas from Sirius, James and Remus. Peter was there, which didn�t surprise him all that much. Peter hadn�t liked him. The knife felt like it was digging into his gut. He closed his eyes as tears slid down his cheek. They were still all the same� Remus and Sirius didn�t change much from their future selves, Remus wanting to protect him and Sirius with his knife� a way to break the rules. He tucked the knife away and rocked himself as he continued to cry. Who would have thought this little thing would have meant so much to him�

Severus was awoken by the sound of crying, and knew at once that Harry needed him. He opened his eyes, willing himself to become fully awake. He looked over, and indeed, his first hunch as right, Harry was crying, clutching a small knife. Instantly, Severus bounded to his feet and came next to the poor lad. He took the knife away, laying it down on the bed before wrapping his arms around the young man. �What happened? What�s wrong?�, he asked, concern filling his voice as he held him. Harry blinked, having been lost in his own grief, he had woken up Severus which indeed had made everything worse. He was such a bad roommate he had to bring his friend into this as well, making him concerned. He was so pathetic. Severus looked at him in concern, awaiting an answer. Harry let out a calmly sigh and nodded slowly. �I am sorry Severus� It just that one of the gifts I received reminded me of my Godfather� he died not to long ago� and well, the memories are still fresh�.�, he said slowly. Severus sighed softly. �So, why did you have the knife?� �That was the gift��, he replied slowly.

The Slytherin was at a lost as to what to do. Maybe this would be too awkward to give him his own gift. He shook his head; it might actually make him smile. That was decided. Severus got up and went into his trunk. "I got you something actually.", he said softly. He pulled a package from his bag and handed it to him. Harry smiles softly as he takes the package and opens it. Inside were several small bottles. He looked to Severus curiously. "What is this for?", he asked curiously. "Oh, well, you see, I saw that you were having nightmares... and so, I made a dreamless sleep potion without any addictive properties... this way you won't be plagued by those nightmares." Harry looked to him and smiles softly. "Oh. Why thank you Severus... but I didn't get you anything... I completely forgot about Christmas....", he said softly. Severus smiles softly. "Oh don't worry, I can wait a few weeks for my return gift.", he chuckled. Harry pulled him into a hug. "Thank you, for everything Severus." The Slytherin smiled as he pat his back. "You're very welcome, Harry." "You should open your gifts now Severus."

Severus nodded to himself as he went over to his small pill of gifts, the kitten coming over and sitting on his lap. His mother had sent him several new tomes of potions and Defence against the dark arts. Dumbledore had given him some more sweets and then Lucius had sent him something. He opened the carefully wrapped box only to find a small silver chain with a blood opal. He quirked a brow as he lift it up. "Jewellery... typical Malfoy gift..." He pulled it on and looked at his reflection. "Hmm... it�s actually not as gaudy as I originally thought... It actually does suit me..."

*****

Christmas breakfast was delicious. It was all set up at a small table where the teachers and remaining students sat to eat. Severus helped himself to another helping of bacon and some more coffee as he cast a sidelong glance at Harry, who was gorging on the pudding. He shook his head and smiles. He couldn't wait till that evening, where he would be able to thanks Dumbledore for helping him. Harry was whispering with the old coot none the less, he wondered what about. He always did have an insatiable curiosity.

Harry smiled. "He gave me some potions sir... And well, I thought I could go to Hogsmeade using one of the secret exits and get him a gift. I would pay you back of course, and I promise it wouldn't be anything big... Please sir. I promise not to be gone long either." Dumbledore grinned and chuckles softly. "Of course Harry. How could I say no to a plea like that?" He handed him a pouch of gold. "Go buy Severus a good Christmas gift while its still Christmas. The stores in Hogsmeade will close early, so hurry." Harry smiles as he hugged him. "Thank you sir."

The Boy who lived quickly rushed out towards the humpbacked witch, sliding off towards the path to Honeydukes cellar, thinking about all the things he could buy Severus. He already received so much good things, books, jewellery.... what could he get? He walked out of the Honeydukes cellar and looked around curiously. Where could he get the perfect gift? It would have to be great with all the help that Severus had given him in the past. It still took a lot to adjust to the fact that it was indeed Severus Snape helping him, but throughout the week, he has shown him that this version and his version of that man weren't the same... Something would happen that would change this Severus Snape.... but what? What would happen to make him so cruel and... well... the Greasy Git he has come to know and loathe.

Harry froze as he saw something in a shop that caught his eye. He looked inside and saw what it was that caught his eye. Inside, on a small velvet pillow was a small broche. It had two serpents intertwining around. One had crimson eyes, the other that emeralds. He walked inside the shop and nodded to shopkeeper, picking up the broche. He could sense some magic on it. He looked at the small card. Apparently there were many protection charms placed on it. He couldn't help but smile. That would be perfect for Snape, especially if Severus turned into Snape, a death eater could always use some protection charms. He brought the broche over to the counter and smiles to the cashier. "Will this be all sir?", she asked. Harry nodded and laid some gold onto the counter. She grinned. "I do hope your lover enjoys the gift. If he is not satisfied, please bring it in back and we'll see what we can do." Harry nodded as he took the package and rushed back to the castle.

Severus waited in his chambers as he poured over some of new books he had received. He wondered where Harry had run off to, but, he was sure he would turn up. As if on cue, the door opened and there he was, looking soaked to the bone. Severus quirked a brow as he looked at him. "Winters... where have you been?" Harry smirked as he cast a charm on his clothing, making himself dry before sitting down at the foot of Severus' bed. "I went out to get you something...", he said softly, rather sheepishly. He held out the small bag.

The young Slytherin looked at him in shock. He went out, into the cold, just to buy him a gift. He took the bag and opened it, inside was a velvet box. He looked up at Harry curiously before pulling the box out and opening it. Inside was the broche. He looked at him in awe. "This must have cost a fortune..." Harry smiled softly as he pinned it on Severus' cloak. "I think it looks good on you.", he said softly. Severus looked down at Harry and smiles softly. "Thank you, Harry." His fingers against his chest as he looked up in Severus' obsidian eyes.

Slowly, the Slytherin leaned in, his eyes fluttering to a close and he lightly brushed his lips against Harry's, almost shyly. A deep blush crept over his cheeks as Harry leaned in, returning the soft kiss. It seemed to last for eternity, but slowly, Severus moved away, keeping his eyes to the hands in his lap. But then, Harry's hands had never moved away from his chest. Slowly his obsidian eyes rose up to meet emerald ones. A light smile rose to Harry's lips as he blushed shyly. "So much for your Gryffindor courage.", Severus whispered. Harry leaned in close. "Oh, its buried in there somewhere.", he whispered as he brought their lips together against, his fingers moving up to burry themselves in jet black hair. Severus' pulled Harry into his lap, bracing his hands around his back.

***

A light pale hand its nails over a large crimson gem. The gem pulsed and glowed. A low, menacing chuckle echoed through hall. "Soon my pet, soon... Just a while longer... Are you certain this will work?" "Of course master. Everything is going according to plan..." The hand continued to stroke the gem as if it was a long lost lover. "Excellent... I cannot wait...", he whispered. "Soon, he will be mine."
