Chapter 8 - A Room with a view

They took their time coming down from their post orgasmic high despite the audience. Truth be told they were getting use to it and when they were in the thrall they didn’t really notice anyway. When enough of Severus’s strength returned he easily lifted Harry into his arms and took him over to the sofa before sinking into the plush cushions. He got comfortable with Harry seated on his lap while carding his fingers through Harry’s blood red hair, thinking how much he enjoyed just holding his mate.

Harry couldn’t be happier. He’d just had fantastic animalistic sex with his mate up against a door and now he was snuggling on his lap being loved as he had always wanted. He sighed happily before rubbing his nose into Sev’s neck breathing in his scent.

“Sorry about your boxers luv” Severus chuckled.

Harry smirked at him, “They were yours”

“What!? Oh I don’t care, they looked better on you anyway. They looked even better coming off…” he mumbled against Harry’s slightly bruised lips before capturing them in a searing kiss.

Harry moaned into the kiss, wrapping his arms around Severus’s neck before straddling his waist.

Severus reluctantly broke the kiss but kept Harry’s face gently cradled between his hands and gazed into his eyes. “I love you” he whispered in awe. He couldn’t believe he was this happy. He couldn’t remember being his happy EVER.

“Oh Sev, I love you too” Harry whispered back with tears in his eyes.

“I’m not going to let anyone hurt you luv. You’re mine from now till the end of time.” Severus told Harry with as much conviction that he could muster.

Harry just flung his arms around him and held on to him as if his life depended on it.

A thought occurred to Severus. “Dobby, does the headmaster know we are here? Does he know about these rooms?”

Dobby jumped down from the shelves and landed on the sofa before bouncing off to land on his head on the floor. He quickly righted himself back on the sofa while Fawkes tittered in the background. “Headmaster is a naughty man he is. The castle not be telling him about these rooms. He doesn’t know this wing of the castle. Dobby be working with the castle he is. Wants to protect you both it does. This is the Fire wing it is. It is the place of the fifth house of Hogwarts.”

The pair were both shocked, “Fifth house?” Harry asked.

“Oh yes sirs! There is being a fifth house. It is not being used since the founders is being here. Lots of dusting, lots of work it is needing. The castle knows it will be needed soon. It is charging Dobby with its care it is. Dobby will serve the most noble and ancient house he will.”

“So we wont have to worry about the headmaster for a while then” Severus mused.

“Oh no sirs. You is not needing to bother with him anytime soon you is not. The castle is taking care of that it is. The castle is not happy with the headmaster. Thinks its time for a change it does.” Dobby said with a grin. “You should see him sirs! He is lost he is. Cant find his ways out.” At his Dobby broke out into a giggle.

They didn’t know what was more shocking, the fact that the castle wanted to replace the headmaster or the sight of Dobby giggling like a school girl who has just talked to their crush. Harry was just thinking that he would really like to see Dumblemort wondering around like a loon when a noise from the centre of the room drew his attention.

Both Severus and Harry turned around to look at the centre of the floor as a stone pedestal seemed to be emerging from the floor. It slowly extended from the floor and stopped when it reached the height of an average table. The column was nothing fancy just plain stone but the stone top was round and about 20 inches wide. It was flat but there appeared to be a thin layer of water on the surface. Under the water there appeared to be layers of complicated runes. Severus could make out of a few of the runes like the ones for protection, sight, strength and mind, but the others overlapped so much that he couldn’t make them out.

“I wonder what this is” Harry said as he reached out to touch the surface of the water.

Before he was able to Severus grabbed his hand. “We don’t know so I wouldn’t suggest touching it right now just to be on the safe side.” He told him.

“I don’t think anything would hurt us in here Sev, this is our sanctuary.”

‘He’s right SEV, no need to be so over protective. Nothing here will hurt either of you. What you have here is an Oculum. It will show you whatever you are thinking about when you touch it. It appeared because Harry was wishing to see the bumbling old fool.’ Fawkes butted in.

Harry just gave Severus a smug grin before dipping his finger into the water while thinking about the headmaster. Nothing happened for a few moments and Harry was just about to remove his finger when the water started to ripple and turn purple. He then removed his finger as the surface of the water seemed to be forming into a dome. It formed a perfect half sphere of purple water before suddenly going clear. In the sphere you could now clearly see Dumblemort wondering around in a corridor that they couldn’t identify and it looked like he couldn’t identify them either because he seemed very angry and appeared to be muttering to himself.

Harry pouted and looked up at Severus, “Sev, there’s no sound…” but just as he said this the sound turned on.

Severus chuckled as Harry blushed then turned his attention back to the Oculum to watch Dumbles.

“What is this blasted castle playing at! How dare it kick me out of my own office! And to ward it against me is unheard of! I’m the headmaster for god’s sake. It can’t do this to me.” Dumbles roared. Harry and Severus smirked at each other before looking back.

“I have to plan for the boy’s arrival. So many things to get in place. Plus I have to make sure Severus is kept under the thumb and I can’t do that if I can’t get into my office to contact him. Plus that blasted feathered bird’s gone walk about again. I might just have to shackle the damn thing to its perch. Would only take a simple blood binding spell, simple really. All I need is to get back into my OFFICE! ARGH! These walls weren’t here before! Where are all the bloody doors!” As the ranting continued Dumblemort was getting more and more frustrated. He pulled his wand out and started trying to blast his was out of the walls but to no avail.

Harry turned away from the Oculum and dropped down onto the sofa with his head in his hands. “I don’t want to see anymore” he mumbled through his fingers.

Severus was at his side in an instant, pulling him on his lap just like their previous positions. “You’re safe Harry. He can’t manipulate you now. Anyone who tries has to get through me first” he said in to Harry’s hair.

Harry looked up at him with watery eyes before giving him a quick peck on the lips. “You know just what to say don’t you?” he grinned.

“Indeed” Severus agreed with a soft smile on his face.

They sat there for a while just holding each other and basking in the comfort that was being exchanged between them. A thought came to Harry’s mind. “If the castles kicked out the headmaster then who is going to take over?” he asked.

The castle decided to answer for itself. The room started to hum causing the sofa to vibrate before the Oculum started to glow brighter and brighter enveloping them in a white light. When the light faded they were gone.
