"Kiss me, Severus," was whispered in his ear by the soft lips that had just gently kissed up the side of his neck. Severus slowly opened his eyes to see a still sleeping Harry Potter in his lap with his head nuzzled into the crook of Severus' neck.

'Who knew the Gryffindor Golden Boy was so adorable when he slept. He probably doesn't even know what he is asking. But, alas, who am I to deny such a request? Especially since this will most likely be the only chance I will have to taste those delectable lips.' Severus thought with a smirk.

Carefully, Severus lowered his head and captured Harry's lips in a soft, sweet kiss. The normally stoic man gasped as he felt the kiss returned with fervor. The little devil in his lap then took advantage of the gasp and delved his tongue into the potion master's mouth.

As Harry's tongue thoroughly explored his mouth, Severus felt hands venture across his back and to his chest. They gently caressed down his chest and stomach and Severus gave a soft moan. The hands stopped just at his waist as the kissed ended.

Severus sat with his eyes still closed as he savored the taste of his Harry. Then he heard "OH, HOLY FUCKING HELL," whispered loudly from his lap. Followed by a not quite as loud "Thank the gods that he's still asleep."

Harry had been having a very pleasant dream. He was with Severus, again, and he asked the man to kiss him. Which he did. Harry was just starting to get real into the kiss and was going to undo Severus' pants when he woke up. Shocked to see he was molesting the man in his sleep!

When Severus heard what Harry had said, his heart dropped two feet. 'I should have known it was too good to be true.

But he did ask YOU, by name, to kiss him, Severus. Maybe that's something.' There was that voice again. 'No, I doubt it. Especially if his reaction to Granger being kidnapped is any indication.'

Severus sighed. He really needed to stop talking to himself.

Slowly, he opened his eyes; pretending to just be waking up as to not traumatize the young man further. The first thing he noticed was the pleasant coloring Harry had as their eyes met. Then it was if a mask went up. 'If I did not know any better, I would think he knew Occlumency.'

"Do you think you could remove yourself from my lap, Mr. Potter, as I need to use the facilities?" Severus asked. He was also trying to keep his raging hard on from the kiss from the young man now wiggling in his lap. 'Gods, I hope he doesn't notice my little problem, here.'

"Oh, umm, sure. No problem." Harry managed to squeak out as he awkwardly got off Severus' lap. Harry was in a very similar position as his love. Not that either knew of the other's situation.

As Severus left the room, Harry sat on the couch and tried to calm himself. A difficult task with his lips still tingling from the kiss between them. 'It was even better than I dreamt it would be. If only I could get him to do it while he's awake. I need to tell Hermione. Wait, Hermione…'

The night before came crashing down on him as Harry remembered Hermione had been taken by Ron to who knows where. No one seemed to be able to find them. All he knew was that, if he ever saw Ron again; he was going to rip him apart with his bare hands.

Severus barely made it into the bathroom before he had his pants undone and a firm grasp on himself, literally. This wasn't the kind of thing he usually did but, under these circumstances, he would make an exception. Besides, a good hard on was a terrible thing to waste.

A little while later, Harry was still silently crying when Severus re-entered the sitting room. He sat down next to Harry who then climbed back into his lap. Harry automatically buried his face in Severus' chest and started crying harder. Throughout the tragic night, this had become the normal behavior of the Boy-Who-Lived. Severus was not going to complain as he found it rather enjoyable to have Harry in his arms, and relished the idea that he could give him some comfort.

When Ron had taken Hermione, Harry had an all-out meltdown. He had flung himself into Severus' arms and didn't leave again unless it was unavoidable. All the Weasleys searched any place they thought Ron would take the girl to. No luck. Arthur contacted Dumbledore and explained what happened through the course of the last couple days. It only took the headmaster 3 hours to show up and offer his assistance. No luck there either.

Each of the Weasleys, in turn tried to get Harry to go to them or even to talk to them. The only ones that even remotely succeeded were the twins and Ginerva. But, they only got short answers and no contact. When Albus Dumbledore had tried to console Harry, the poor boy tried to burrow inside Severus' skin as if he could use him as a shield. An event Severus was determined to look into later.

"I'm sorry, Sir," Severus barely heard the whisper.

"Think nothing of it, Potter." Was the reply he gave.

Two loud cracks were heard. Harry jumped up and ran to the kitchen to see if it was someone with any news about Hermione. You can imagine his astonishment when he saw his best friend standing by the table with none other than Remus Lupin.

The stern potion master frowned as Harry launched himself into the Granger girl's arms. She quickly hugged him to her. Lupin followed suit, wrapping his arms around both of them.

"Since you have your girlfriend back and your wolf, Mr. Potter, I will assume you no longer require the use of my robes." Severus stated as he cast a drying spell on himself where Harry had been crying on him.

"Oh, Hermione, I'm so glad you're o..my gods!!! I'll kill the bastard!. Where did he take you? What happened? How did you get away? And…Harry paused to turn to Remus "…Why are you here? Is it safe for you t…"

Hermione clamped her hand over her best friend's mouth to get him to stop and take a breath.

"Harry! Calm down, please. We will explain everything." Hermione finally got in.

"Yes, why don't you enlighten us all?" Severus said as he walked over and sat in the chair closest to Harry. He already missed having him in his arms. He also didn't miss the look of gratitude as he reached in his robes and handed the bruised girl his most potent healing potion.

The rest of the house's occupants that had shown up to see who had apparated in, followed suit and filled the table.

"Ronald took me to the Shrieking Shack." Remus noticed Harry grin mischievously at this; Harry knew what happened. He smiled back at Harry nodding slightly. "He said it was the only place he could go after being disowned. He beat me and said he was going to make it so you would never want me again." Hermione paused in her story as Molly conjured a jug of water. It was going to be a long story.

Severus, upon hearing that Harry wanted Granger, felt the pain in his heart. Taking a page from Molly's book, conjured a bottle of whiskey. It was going to be a long day. At least Potter didn't know he had been willingly kissed by his hated greasy haired potions professor. 'Merlin, Severus, the boy isn't even gay!!'

"Is everyone situated now?" Molly asked. She had busied herself tending to everyone's needs. Especially getting Hermione put back in order while she spoke. "Good" she smiled at the nodding heads. "I'll make breakfast then the two of you can explain everything.

Everyone patiently made small talk while Molly cooked and they ate. No one really saying anything of importance.

Once they were all through and the kitchen put back in order, all eyes turned to Hermione and Remus.

"Perhaps I should start. I am here because I saved Hermione from Ron." Remus stated in a surprisingly calm voice for it to be the middle of the full moon cycle.

Harry smiled at this bit of information. The next thing anyone knew, Harry was full out laughing. With a glare from Remus, he settled down, holding his sides from laughing so hard.

Severus was bewitched by the sight of Harry laughing. It was a look he wanted to see more often. Shouldn't be too hard, as the boy has lost his mind!

"Please, allow me to explain. As only Harry, Albus and few others know, I use the basement in the Shrieking Shack for my transformations on the full moon. It is the only place Moony feels at home since I have been going there since my first year at Hogwarts. In addition to locking the door manually, I ALWAYS cast strong locking spells and put up powerful wards for extra protection in case someone happens along." It was Remus' turn to take a drink. "Last night, everything was going as it always had. I took the wolf's bane potion, Thank you, Severus." Severus looked up and saw Harry and Remus smiling at him. His heart melted and he gave a curt nod.

"Anything to protect the innocent lives at stake." Was the snarky reply, his hand brushing away the statement as inconsequential.

"Just after moon rise, there was a commotion from upstairs. I didn't really pay any attention to it until I smelled a scent I had only recently become acquainted with. My mate." Everyone but Harry gasped at this. Harry smirked at Severus, remembering his girlfriend comment when Hermione first arrived.

Severus noticed the casual way Harry took the news that Hermione was the wolf's mate. "I take it you were aware of this information, Mr. Potter?" he asked while glaring at the three of them.

"Yup! Sure was. Remy came to me and asked me to help him get to know his mate before he revealed it to her." Harry started out strong but ended sheepishly as he caught the look his best friend was giving him. "I was gonna tell you Mio, but HE took you before I could."

Remus gave a very loud throaty growl at that statement. Hermione stood up and walked over to him to put her arms around him. Remus immediately began sniffing her to reassure himself that she was indeed unharmed.

Severus looked at Harry. He was smiling at the two but, there was a look of hurt in his eyes. At that moment, green eyes met black and Harry gave him a shy smile before Severus turned back to the couple.

"Speaking of Ronald, could you at some time, get to the point?" Severus asked a little too harshly. He didn't think his Harry wanted to witness the one he loves with another. He knew he didn't want to himself.

"Of course, Professor." Hermione replied as Remus pulled her into his lap. "After he beat me, Ron tied me to the floor and was about to....to..... rape me…"

There was a collection of gasps from the Weasleys and Molly looked as if she were going to faint.

"I always knew he was a sorry little shit." Bill exclaimed as his mother broke down in tears again. They didn't have to continue. She already knew her baby boy was gone. You just don't mess with a werewolf's mate. The subsection of some law or another gave werewolves the right to protect their mates by any means necessary.

"Yes, well, moving on. Some of us do have other business to attend to this day." The stoic Slytherin was more than fed up with all the emotional displays the last few days.

"Alright, Severus, blunt it is; I was able to use my magic in wolf form to break the wards on the basement. Break down the door, run up the stairs to find the son-of-a-bitch about to claim my mate. Moony tackled him. While I was checking to make sure Hermione was alright, he tried to sneak out. Big mistake! Moony grabbed him by the back of the neck and threw him across the room. Then, dragged him back over to the door where he enjoyed a late night snack. I managed to cast a spell to make the blood flow slow down. Aggravated with all the screams, Moony then ripped out his throat. Don't worry it didn't kill him. Just shut him up. His mutilated throat was given to Hermione as a show that Moony would be able to always protect her.

Moony slowly ate away at the offender's insides. When he was done, I urged him to go and try to clean some of the blood and gore off his muzzle before returning to Hermione. I know she doesn't like to be dirty.

Moony cleaned off as much as he could, walked over to her and made sure his mate was accepting. Then he lay down, right on top of her facing the door and the remains. He wanted to make sure no one else would harm his mate. I tried to convince him to lay beside her but, to no avail. Hermione was hurt. She needed protecting. I finally agreed. Never before have I ever been proud to call myself a werewolf.

For the first time, Moony and I were one. It was very difficult to keep MYSELF in check when I saw what was going on. Moony did as I asked as long as it involved punishing the one who hurt our mate." Remus finished with a smug smile then turned to Molly, his smile gone, “I'm so sorry you had to hear it like that. And for what had to happen. I know you still love him after all he's done.”

Hermione kissed him on the cheek before saying, "I happily listened to him slowly die and thought that was too good for him. After all he did to Harry and the rest of his family. What he did to me was to get payback for Harry taking his family. I, too, am sorry Mrs. Weasley."

Everyone turned to look at Molly who was sitting there with a blank look on her face. No one had noticed the miniscule wand movement Arthur had used to keep his wife from hearing all the details of what happened.

Harry had paled at Hermione's words. Once again, he had caused someone he loves pain.

"I'm so sorry, Mio. I didn't mean for any of this to happen." Harry started crying as Hermione walked over and hugged him.

Severus was confused that Remus just smiled at his mate as she hugged another. He should be ripping the boy apart for even touching her. Ever the cautious spy, he kept his hand discreetly on his wand; just in case.

"The world does not revolve around you, Potter. YOU didn't cause any of this to happen. The person responsible is…" Severus began but was interrupted by Arthur.

"Ron! He chose to turn his back on the family. We gave him a choice; all he had to do was stop his spying on Harry and go back to putting importance back on the family. He wanted the money and whatever else was offered him by his employer. Choice made! We don't hold you responsible Harry." The Weasley Patriarch finished with nods from the others around the table.

Molly's sobbing had increased again during her husband's little speech. When he had finished, Arthur walked over and pulled his wife into his arms. Gently guiding her out of the kitchen, Arthur turned to Remus.

"We will not hold this against you, as we understand you were protecting your mate. It still hurts. He may have been disowned but we do still love him. We were hoping he would see the err of his ways and return to us. Please, excuse us."

"I understand. Please take care of Molly. We have been friends a long time and she needs you right now. We always seek the comfort of those we love most when we are distraught. Thank you, Arthur. You are a good man." Remus solemnly replied as the elder Weasleys left the room.

Severus looked at Harry who was still in Hermione's arms. He saw a hopeful look that was quickly masked as Harry looked up into Severus' eyes, immediately flushing. Harry was disappointed with the look he saw in the eyes he loved so much. He had hoped that maybe after the kiss…'He probably doesn't even remember it. After all, he was asleep.'

Slowly, everyone cleared the room, leaving only Harry, Hermione, Remus and Snape.

"You have ten minutes, Potter. I do not wish to be burdened with you all day again. Crying like a baby in my robes all night was more than enough for me." Snape sneered as he got up and left. Ignoring the growl he received from Lupin.

"Harry, what, exactly did Snape mean by 'crying like a baby in my robes all night' and does anyone else know about your feelings for him?" asked Remus with a knowing smile.

"Well, you see, I was just a little bit upset when I saw Ron apparate away with Hermione." Harry heard Remus growl as he pulled Hermione closer to him. "It would seem that in my distraught state, I would only let Severus Snape comfort and console me,” Harry finished with a smirk worthy of said Slytherin.

"I'm sorry I couldn't let you know sooner, Harry. I didn't even know who my savior was until this morning when I woke up. I'm not really sure what happened. It wasn't until I felt someone behind me that I turned to see Remus. We talked about what was going to happen now. Then, we came here. Knowing you would be upset." Hermione quickly told him.

"Hermione, are you still coming to Gringotts with me?" Harry shyly asked her. "I don't think I can be alone with him after this morning."

Hermione and Remus looked at each other a little confused. "What happened this morning that has you like this, Harry?" a suddenly concerned Hermione asked.

"I cried myself to sleep in Severus lap last night after we looked for you. When I woke up, we were kissing and my hands were wandering. THANKFULLY, he was still asleep. I know he would not be very happy if he found out the one person he hates was molesting him in his sleep." Harry told them in a defeated tone of voice.

"I'm sorry she asked now. That is not something I really want to hear my godson talking about." Remus grinned at Harry as he asked, "By the way, Harry. What exactly do you see in him? It's not like he's winning any beauty pageants."

"You know none of that stuff matters, Remy. I look at what's on the inside. Let's see: saved my life too many times to count, is highly intelligent," It was Harry's turn to grin at Remus as he continued, "and, let's not forget the feel of those soft lips on mine and that amazing voice as it whispers in my ear. But, none of it matters. I can't live my life wishing for the one person I'll never be able to have. I don't think …"

"If you are done with your reunion, Mr. Potter," Harry paled as Severus cut him off. He also tensed as the man approached him from behind, and leaned down to whisper in Harry's ear as he lightly pressed into his back, "I have more 'pressing' matters to attend to today." Severus finished as he oh so very lightly brushed his lips against the shell of Harry's ear. Straightening up, Snape turned and walked out the back door.

Hermione noticed Harry's crimson blush as Snape whispered something to him. She couldn't make out what it was as the man's hair blocked the view of his face when he leaned over. Very few things made Harry blush like that. So, Hermione had a pretty good idea what was going on. She turned and smiled at Remus, who was also smiling at Harry's predicament.

"I'm sorry Harry. I must return to the Shrieking Shack with Remus. We have decided to try to get to know each other better before the 'pull' gets too strong." Hermione told Harry not at all looking apologetic about it.

"Oh. Alright then. Guess I'd better go then. See you after the full moon." Harry quickly hugged Remus and Hermione and walked out to catch up to Severus.

Harry found Severus impatiently waiting for him just outside the wards of the Burrow. As he slowly approached, Harry was wondering what Severus was playing at by kissing his ear. 'Why would he do that? And in front of Hermione and Remus! Wait, what am I thinking. Severus Snape would never kiss me. He hates me. Always has and probably always will. No, I'd do better just to forget this morning and how utterly fantastic it felt to kiss those delightful lips! Even if he has no idea. Still, it would be great. If only just one time before I go t…'

Harry's thoughts were interrupted when he tripped and fell into the arms of the man currently occupying his thoughts.

Severus Snape had come to a decision about his orders from the Dark Lord. He couldn't find it in himself to deliver the man he loves to his own death. No, that would not do. For the first time he was going to willingly disobey an order from his old friend and leader.

That gave him roughly a month to get his affairs in order. However, with what he had just heard, he decided to make it a good month. He'd overheard Harry describing someone to the wolf and its mate. That person obviously held a special place in the young man's heart. If the way he spoke of them means anything:

"…and, let's not forget the feel of those soft lips on mine, that amazing voice as it whispers in my ear.” But, none of it matters. 'I can't live my life wishing for the one person I'll never be able to have.'

Severus decided to use this information to help himself. He was going to have a little fun before he went off to his death. This fun would include helping Harry Potter forget his love for the Granger girl. Who else could it be? As she was now off limits being the wolf's mate.

The light kiss to the ear was spur of the moment. He hadn't planned on that when he walked over to whisper in Harry's ear. But, it was there, begging for a little attention. He knew his actions were blocked by his hair. The wolf would have said something if he had seen it happen.

Severus noticed Harry was casually walking towards him. Obviously thinking about something, or someone, and not paying attention, as Harry stumbled and fell right into his waiting arms.

Harry gasped as Severus caught him. One arm was around his waist and the other was around his shoulders. 'If he leans in a little more, we would be close enough to kiss.' Harry said to himself. Then, he thought he felt Severus start to do just that. Closing his eyes in anticipation, he waited. Unfortunately, all he felt was apparation.

Hermione smiled at Remus as he put his wand away. "Thank you." She whispered against his lips as she gave him a soft kiss. Not many knew that Remus Lupin was a master at the trip jinx.

Appearing in front of Gringotts, Snape quickly released Harry, who stumbled a little. Grabbing Severus' arms to steady himself, Harry found himself hesitant to move.

"Shall we get this over with Mr. Potter?" Severus asked in his best Professor tone.

"Yes, Sir" was the soft reply.

Upon entering the bank, they were escorted to a private office and told Griphook would be with them momentarily. While they waited, Harry kept sneaking glances at Severus as he thought about what happened at the Burrow.

After about 30 minutes, the door opened and in walked Griphook. "Thank you for coming in, Lord Potter." He greeted the young man. "Before we continue, these are for you." Griphook finished as he handed Harry three very familiar envelopes.

"How did you get these? These were brought to me by owl on my birthday. What are they doing here?" A dumbfounded Harry asked. He didn't know who they were from but he remembered seeing them in his stack of gifts before the headmaster had shown up.

"They are spelled. If anyone besides you gains possession of them, they return to me. I have had them for 16 years waiting for the day of your inheritance to come." Griphook responded. He gave a toothy grin at the look on their faces.

"Well, are you going to read them? Or are you just…" Severus didn't finish as he grasped his left arm in pain.

"Oh shit! Not now. Please, not now." Harry exclaimed when he saw the proud man doubled over.

Severus turned to look at Harry, and he thought he saw fear in the dark man's eyes.

"Sir…Professor Snape…Snape…" Harry was trying to get the man's attention.

"SEVERUS!!" He finally yelled and the man snapped his eyes up to look in Harry's.

"Not now, Potter! It is not a good time for conversation, if you haven't noticed?" Severus bit out.

"Now is a very good time for what I have to say. I want you to take me with you." Harry's voice was steady even though his heart was pounding in fear. He was not going to sit by and watch the man he loved be in pain. Not when he could stop it.

"YOU WHAT!?!? HAVE YOU LOST WHAT LITTLE MIND YOU WERE BORN WITH? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU GO?" Severus was livid. How could the boy be so careless to think he would survive meeting the Dark Lord?

"I happen to know a great deal more than you think. I have my reasons for doing this," Harry's voice was barely over a whisper. But Severus heard it.

"You have no idea what you are asking me to do." Severus looked him directly in the eyes. He thought he saw tears start to well up in those emerald pools.

"I know," was all Harry could manage to say.

He walked over to the man. "Are you able to cast Legilimens?" he asked.

"Of course." Severus responded as he drew out his wand. His face was still contorted in pain.

"I will show you what I know." Harry pulled forward the memory of the vision he had on his birthday and looked Severus directly in the eye.

"Do you take me for a fool, Potter? You do not know Occlumency. How can you show me anything? I was the one attempting to infiltrate that brain of yours to teach it." Severus retorted. Doubling over in pain once again.

"Trust me, Sir. I do know. I only went to the lesson to be…" Harry stopped as Severus hissed in pain. Determined to stop the torment of his love, Harry finally yelled, "JUST DO THE DAMN SPELL."

Severus reluctantly cast the spell. He knew that Harry couldn't normally keep him out. This time was different as his mark was burning painfully and he couldn't concentrate as well as other times.

He saw himself the night before Harry's birthday. Strange night that it was. He had been summoned. When he arrived at Slytherin Castle, there was a potion and a note waiting for him.

The note was simple: Severus my old friend, drink this potion. It numbs the nervous system and renders the Cruciatus useless. Then, come to the throne room. No matter what happens, act as if you are in severe pain and fear for your life. I will explain everything later.

My sincerest apologies Tom

That was the night his whole world was to change. Severus watched as the Dark Lord pretended to torture him and gave him the order to bring Potter to him by the time school started. Or die. Only a few hours ago, he had chosen death.

"You know what he will do, do you not?" Severus asked as he pulled out of Harry's mind.

"I know what he will try. Hopefully, I can reason with him." Harry looked down at the letters in his hand. "These came to my relative's house on my birthday. They arrived with the rest of my gifts, just before the headmaster did. I noticed that he was intrigued and upset by something in my pile of gifts. For them to end up back here he had to have taken them, he was the only one that could have." He continued, willing Severus to understand without having to say the words.

"Still, why are you so willing to go and more than likely meet your death?" Severus asked making sure his feelings did not come out in his voice.

"Because, I can't sit by and watch one more person I love die." Harry stated as he fought the tears welling up in his eyes. "If you don't take me, I'll find another way. At least this way, you will be somewhat protected."

"Very well, then." A defeated Snape replied as he turned to Griphook and said, "We will need to reschedule, again. I will send an owl with an appropriate day and time."

"As you wish, Sirs."

Severus took Harry by the arm and led him out of the bank and onto the street. As Severus wrapped his arms around him, he said a simple "Hold on." Harry thought he also heard him whisper, "I shall miss you."

When they arrived, Severus hesitantly released his hold on Harry.

"Stay here until I return." He demanded as Harry watched him disappear down the long hallway.

Severus entered the throne room and immediately bowed to the dark lord. "I have brought the Potter boy with me, Master."

Tom thought he heard Severus' voice start to break as he said this. It was time to straighten matters out.

"Have one of the house elves show him to a room. Go with them and reassure him no harm will come to him this day. Then, return here. We have important matters to discuss, my dear friend. You will retrieve him when we have concluded our talk." Voldemort dismissed him after that.

As he walked back to the main hall, Severus thought about what he was just told. Maybe there is a chance after all. The Dark Lord is offering Harry hospitality. Of course, that does not mean he is willing to let him live. But maybe…

When Severus returned to Harry, he could have sworn he seemed relieved to see his hated potions professor.

"I am to have a house elf show you to a room. I will accompany you there. Then, I must return for a 'meeting'. The Dark Lord has ordered me to inform you that you will not be harmed this day and he will meet with you when he is finished with me." Severus told Harry as he approached the young man.

With a soft pop, a house elf appeared. "You to be coming with KoKo, young Master. KoKo show you where you to be staying while in old Master's home."

Harry and Severus exchanged a look. But still followed KoKo.

As they walked, Severus noticed they were in the family wing of the castle. Strange the Dark Lord would put Harry in this part of the castle.

"We here young Master. This to be you room. Call for KoKo if you needs help settling in. KoKo be young Master's personal elf. KoKo be very happy to help young Master." With that she was gone.

Severus opened the door for Harry. He placed his hand on the other's shoulder to guide him into the room.

Harry was awestruck as they entered. The room was magnificent. It was twice the size of his dorm room at Hogwarts. The walls and all the furniture were done in a light oak finish with dark brown trim. Multiple shades of brown, from tan to almost black were used on the bed clothes and pillows. There was a large wardrobe, a desk, many book shelves filled with books, and a light brown couch also. The bed itself seemed to be as large as three of the beds in his dorm. There was a door on the opposite side of the room; Harry assumed it was the bathroom.

"I shall leave you to get settled, then. Do not come out until I come for you." Severus was reluctant to leave. As he turned to leave, he gently trailed his hand down Harry's arm. Touching him as if it would be the last time.

Harry watched as Severus disappeared through the door. Confusion rattled his brain as he desperately tried to figure out what was going on. Why was he shown to such a nice room? What did KoKo mean by being his personal elf? Why did it seem that Severus was concerned for him? And what was with all the touching? Not that he minded that part. He could still feel the heat on his arm from the last touch.

Not having anything to unpack, Harry lay down on the bed and tried to open one of his letters. It wouldn't budge. So, he picked up another. The same thing happened. Finally, he was able to open the third.

He took out the parchment and noticed a shrunken book was also in the envelope.
