When the following Monday arrived though, Harry found things a bit hard. They entered potions that morning, they were working, and Harry dropped his quill and, in an effort, to pick it up, knocked his cauldron on the floor earning him a detention that night. The first one he had with the man all year. He knocked on the door at exactly 7pm, being prompt and was instructed as usual to get scrubbing on the cauldrons. He went straight to work. It was fine for him because he faced the wall and didn't have to lock eyes with him at all. He would make it through and go talk to him through their journal. He sighed.
Severus has Potter in detention for the first time that year oddly enough, the boy had behaved well in his class and had actually been improving in his class so Severus had left him alone, but today he had spilled a partially finished potion all over the floor where is started melting the soles of shoes the classmates in front of him, so now he was in detention quietly scrubbing cauldrons in the corner. He finishes packaging a gift he had put together for JL a protection amulet that Severus had put the spells on himself. He calls for an owl and after a minute a little young one flies in; he gives it the package and whispers instructions to it. It hoots excitedly and takes off but for some reason it flies straight at Potter and bounces off the back of Potter's head before hitting the floor knocked out cold. Severus gapes, it couldn't be, no the bird must have gotten confused, yes that was it, it was a young one.
"Ouch!" Harry yelled out turning, "What the?" He looked down at the bird with a little package. His feature softened and picked up the poor bird. The package was his, he knew it, and this damned bird had tried to deliver it to him in the same damn room. He took it over to Severus. "Um, what would you like to do with this" he said putting out his hands, where the knocked-out owl rested.
Severus takes the bird and package back and lays the bird on a conjured blanket on his desk and decides to send the package later. Potter gets back to work and Severus sits at his desk considering what just happened, it wasn't possible, was it? Could Harry Potter, be JL? Harry Potter was an orphan from what was most likely an abusive home, he remembers seeing something about a cupboard in the boys' memories. JL was also an orphan, from an abusive home, said he wasn't given much to eat... Didn't Potter show up each year thinner than when he's left? Yes, yes, he had. JL didn't want to be recognized, if perchance it was Harry Potter then that would make sense, Potter couldn't really go anywhere without making the papers... And they both loved to fly though JL said he wasn't great at it and that was definitely not the case with Harry Potter, but perhaps he doesn't see his skill that way, or was being modest. Could it be, things matched up, but last Severus knew Harry Potter hated him. So, if it was him, why? How had those feelings of hate changed? He shakes his head and frowns, he's been trying to let JL come clean on his own, but Severus thinks it may be time to find out exactly who JL was, once and for all.
Harry can feel the tension in the air, as it was quite thick, Bloody fucking bird he thought. Severus was smart. Too smart. The bird could be his breaking. Harry spent the next half hour scrubbing and freaking out. "All of them are done Professor" Harry said walking toward the door.
Severus nods," You are dismissed then." He says. As the boy leaves he could tell that Potter had been nervous after the incident with the bird, he could read Potter well and he had been fine before that but very nervous after, well that was another piece of the puzzle and they are starting to take a picture. He decides to send the package this evening, and tonight he was going to follow the owl on its delivery to see who it went to, if it went to Potter a second time, then there could be no denying the truth. The more the thought about the two people in his mind the more they overlapped, now he understands why JL was afraid to tell him the truth, if it was true. Well it was time for the truth to come out and he puts the gift in his pocket for later and turns to clean up and head out for the night. Heading up to the owlery he finds an owl he knows will not go wrong and gives it the package before transforming into a raven and taking off behind it following at a distance to see where it would lead.
Harry sluggishly made it back to the common room and didn't feel like seeing anyone. Luckily the dorms were empty. He went to sit by the window, sure that Severus would be sending whatever package to him. Sure enough, Harry saw an owl coming his way and he opened the window letting it in and reaching in his pocket for owl treats. He pets the bird and unties the package on its leg. "Thank you" he says as the bird flies away. Harry looked up at the moon with the package in his lap. He took a deep breath.
Severus had followed the owl and sure enough it flies directly to the Gryffindor tower, he finds a convenient perch and watches Potter take the package, he seems upset, perhaps he knows he has been caught out, well Severus knows the truth now, but he still wanted to know how the boy could go from hating him to loving him, it made no sense, he still found it hard to doubt the sentiments after the effort the boy had put out for him, but it didn't make it any more understandable, but how to let Harry know he knew, but his best to do so? He watches the boy for a few minutes and then takes off flying straight to his rooms, Severus hadn't lied when he said he did line flying on a broom, but this was perfection. He arrives and transforms and watches the little journal waiting for his good night message from Harry, if he'd get one tonight.
Harry unties the package and it's a beautiful amulet and Harry can feel Severus's magic radiating from it. He looked it over almost crying. He slipped off the windowsill and climbed into bed with his journal and shut his curtains.
It's been a very long day Sev. How was your day?
JL
Severus smiles,
Interesting in ways much the same as every other in others, I'm sorry you had a long day. Did you like my gift? It will help keep you safe.
Sev
Its absolutely beautiful. I've never seen anything like it
JL
Harry figured he never would either. Once Severus figured it out, this will have been his last gift.
Severus smiles
I found the amulet itself in a bazaar the spell work however it my own. Keep it with you, please.
Sev
I will never take it off, ever. I can feel your magic, like its wrapping around me. It's wonderful.
JL
Harry is overcome by the feeling he gets as he slips the amulet on. Tears began to fall as he felt like he was being held.
That's because I filled it with my love for you, I know I haven't said it, but now you can feel it.
Sev
He knows this is a big step but he's meant what heed said he had quickly fallen for JL and if JL was Potter okay it was a shock, and they would be having a long conversation after this but that didn't stop the feelings he had for the man he had come to know.
Now Harry was sobbing. The man he loved, loved him back. Would he still love him once he found out? Harry wiped his tears and kept writing.
Severus, I love you too.
Harry couldn't bring himself to sign JL to that one. Harry meant it and it may be the only time he got to say it.
I know, you've proved that.
Sev
Is his simple reply.
It's been a really long day; I think I'm going to tuck in early. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
Goodnight Severus.
Yes, hopefully you have a better day tomorrow. Goodnight Harry, I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Sev.
