It had been two weeks and Harry still wasn't speaking to Severus. No matter that Severus had tried cornering the man on more than one occasion to explain; the Gryffindor just didn't seem to want to give Severus the time of day to explain or apologize. The more he was avoided, the angrier Severus became over the situation, but that anger was eclipsed by fear, fear that Harry really wasn't going to speak to him ever again, and that he really would find another mate.

Harry still wasn't sure that it was a good idea, allowing Remus into the House; the other vampires were already on edge as it was, but it seemed to make Remus happy and it thrilled Draco. At least someone is happy around here. He thought grudgingly as he watched the couple cuddling by the fire. "I'm going to bed." He announced quietly, although he knew that neither Draco nor Remus was paying him any attention.
Since becoming House Master, Harry had moved his things out of Severus' rooms and into the master suite at the Eternal House. It wasn't easy, avoiding Snape all of the time, there were several nights where Harry laid in bed awake, wishing that he was sleeping in Severus' bed instead, but everytime he began to grow weak he reminded himself that Snape did not love him, he'd heard it from the man's lips.
"I don't know why it surprises me, it's not like we haven't hated each other for the past seven years. Why did I think that would change now?" Harry questioned himself, feeling incredibly stupid that he'd believed Snape wanted him for something more than sex.

"I'm sorry that you can't leave these quarters, but I agree with Harry when he says that it would not be safe for you to walk around the House without one of us near." Draco said, as he gently stroked Remus' feather-soft cheek. The other vampires still did not know that Draco had a lycan in his quarters, but he was sure when they did find out, there would be an uproar. That was one reason why Remus was staying in Harry's suite.
"It's not that bad, atleast I get to see you daily now." Remus said, quite content to snuggle into the delicious warmth of his lover, who was still stroking his face. "Do you think that Severus and Harry will ever reconcile? It's beginning to be a bit awkward being in the same room with them when Harry won't acknowledge Severus' presence."
Draco shrugged, "Severus is trying to apologize but Potter is being stubborn and he's not listening." The Malfoy said simply, as if the problem was simple and all rested on Harry's shoulders.
Remus rolled his eyes as he stroked his hand through Draco's soft, white blonde hair, "You're such a Slytherin, doll. If I had come in to hear you saying those things I'd be just as upset, and you know that when I run off you only find me when I let you find me."
This made Draco grin, "Is that what you think? How do you know that I just don't find you in a way so that you think you're letting me find you?" Draco seemed to think about what he said and he shook his head with a chuckle, "That didn't make any sense, did it?"
"None at all." The lycan laughed, his hands snaking down Draco's backside, pinning the blonde more firmly against him.
-=-
"How did you do it Draco?" Snape questioned, finally going to the younger wizard with the question that had been plaguing him for days.
"Do what?" The Malfoy questioned with raised eyebrows, his eyes busy watching Harry and Remus in the House garden down below. It was brilliant daylight and the rest of the vampires in the House were either at their other homes, or on patrols since they’d come no closer to the whereabouts of Fenrir Grayback.
Snape leaned against the railing of the balcony, "Arrange such a peaceful relationship with Lupin. You two had so much animosity towards each other, and so little in common." He pointed out the obvious.
"It wasn't always as easy as it is now, Severus. At first it was merely attraction and the fact that we were being forced to work together for the Order had us spending large amounts of time together. At first we fought constantly, over him being a werewolf, me being a Malfoy, old Slytherin and Gryffindor prejudices, everything. We hurt each other a lot back then, but then one day we just got over it. I knew that I was starting to fall for Lupin, and he felt the same way, so our relationship took a more physical turn. But when I told Remus that I loved him he left." Draco could see the question on Snape's face, "Our relationship had been rather casual up until then and he felt that he was too old and scarred, and had too many problems for me. Only recently have I been able to convince him otherwise. Our relationship may look easy from the outside, but it's a lot of work." Draco still marveled at our far they'd come.
"I do not think that Potter and I will ever have the relationship that you two have. He is too stubborn and I am too proud. Those qualities do not mix well together....Potter is talkative, loud, he has no manners, he acts like a child...." Severus growled all of these things as his keen black eyes studied the way Harry laughed with the werewolf.
Draco put a hand on Severus' shoulder, "You need to go ahead and tell him that you love him, Severus, if you want to keep him from distancing himself further.” Even as he said this Draco could not keep his lip from curling- he was talking about Harry Potter after all. “It's obvious to everyone the feelings that you have for him, your possessiveness towards him, and even when you argue it's written in your eyes."
Severus did not think his feelings were so obvious, hell, he wasn’t even sure of the feelings he had for Harry- if any. "I cannot get him to speak to me, but perhaps he will come at the end of the month when we are due to exchange blood again."
Down below in the garden, Remus and Harry were having a little conversation of their own….

"But Remus how do you put up with Draco?" Harry said with a wrinkle of disdain for the other vampire. They were acquaintances, yes, and he'd chosen Draco as his Assistant, but that certainly didn't mean he and Draco were friends. Not by a long shot!
Remus laughed, "For the same reasons you can't help but want Snape. Let's face it, most of the time Draco is snobby, rude, sarcastic, and an overall prick, but he has his moments, those small moments when he does sweet things without realizing, and in those moments I remember why I love him.. well, and I remember that when we're in bed too." The werewolf grinned as Harry faked a gag. "Well then, what makes you want Snape, hm?"
Harry walked with his head bowed, "I don't know ...."
"Of course you do, there are things about Snape that make you take notice; that cause your body to react, what are those things?" Remus questioned.
"It's just little things, Remus, like the way he chews his bottom lip when he reads, the way his hands move when he makes Potions, and Merlin, how he leaves the bathroom door open when he showers -"
"Whoa, there Harry, I think I've got the picture!" Remus said, holding up a hand to stop Harry from releasing any further descriptions that would bring horrible mental images. "Why won't you let him speak to you? I think he's trying to apologize in his own demented way."
Harry sighed as he stood and picked up a dandelion, "Because I haven't forgotten what he said...."
-=-
Harry paced his room nervously as he kept casting furtive glances at the clock. The month was up and even though Harry had continued avoiding Snape up until that point, it was time; time again to exchange blood, and not even Harry could avoid that. It was something that had to be done, and Harry certainly didn't trust anyone else with his neck.
The door clicked suddenly and then it opened, and Harry froze in step as he saw the tall, pristine form of Severus Snape standing in the doorway, "Come in." He said softly, the first words that Harry had spoken to Severus in days.
Stepping uncertainly into the room, Severus closed the door behind him, "I wasn't sure if we were still... mates or not." He said slowly, as if it pained him to speak them at all.
Harry arched an eyebrow, "And why wouldn't we still be mates?" He questioned as he began pacing again, his hands clutched behind his back and vaguely reminding Severus of an anxious, pacing Albus Dumbledore.
"Why do you think Potter? You come in and hear the tail-end of a conversation and then storm off and pout about it for weeks." Snape spat, crossing his arms over his chest, his black eyes boring holes through Harry as he paced, "And then you tell me to find another mate."
At the reminder of what he'd said Harry stopped and looked up, "Did you? Find another mate I mean." For a few horrible seconds Harry's heart seemed to still within his chest.
Snape's eyes narrowed, "Idiot, if I had don't you think I'd be with them tonight instead of here with you?" The man pointed out as if Harry were the most annoying creature on the face of the planet.
Harry just didn't understand it and the more time that he spent with Snape the more frustrated he became, "Severus, if you hate me so much why do you continue this relationship? Why don't you just tell me that you hate me so we can get this whole thing over with?"
Snape’s hand shot out and grabbed Harry up by his collar, "Because, little lion, as much as you annoy me, and frustrate me, I've grown accustomed to having you in my life, and in my bed. I do not like this separation. Understand?"
When Harry nodded Snape smirked, this was how it was suppose to be, he was suppose to speak and Harry was suppose to listen. Kissing Harry roughly, Severus let the man's collar go and then nudged him back into a chair. Straddling Harry's waist with his long legs, Severus settled himself in Harry's lap, not missing the way their erections rubbed from this position.
Harry gasped at the sudden assault on his body as he tilted his head to the side, shuddering as Snape's lips ran across his neck and then the feel of teeth grazing across his skin before they sung deep within his flesh. "Oh Merlin." The mixture between pain and ecstasy made Harry's toes curl as he bucked up against his mate.
Snape hummed over the taste of the delicious blood as he trickled down his throat, heating his own veins as he licked away the rest of the blood from Harry's neck and then healed the bite with his wand, "You always taste so good." Snape murmured in Harry's ear.
The Boy Who Lived was panting, not only from the feel of Severus' teeth, but also from the proximity of the man's body to his own. Harry now had the answer to Remus' question- why did he love Severus? It was the man's hands, his long legs, the way he was always so pale even after spending hours in the sun, his lengthy hair, those black unforgiving eyes, and his lips, Merlin, the pale lips that teased and pleasured.
Stroking his fingers up into Severus' hair, Harry pulled his mate's head to the side, exposing his smooth white neck, "I love you Severus," the words were murmured against the older man's neck before Harry sank his teeth into the tender skin, Snape's body writhing in his arms, pleasurable moans escaping his lips.
"Oh Harry." The name, the first time Severus had actually said his name, was an aphrodisiac to Harry and he knew then that he had to have this man in bed; he had to have this man in his life.
Moving them to the bed, Harry pulled Snape atop of him, loving the feel of the older man's body over his own, "I need you now." Harry practically begged in the other man's ear, craving the love as he had craved it his whole life. The Dursley's had been incapable of giving him that love, and the only ones that had were no longer in his life.. and with Remus wrapped up in Draco, Harry could not lose Severus, the thought made him frantic.
The words caused an ache inside Severus and he eagerly took Harry into his arms, showing him with actions what he could not put into words.
