The Engagement Kiss

Warning…to those who haven’t quite figured this out yet, this fic is rated M for a reason…a reason expressed quite liberally in this chapter.

He said. Severus had to agree silently with these observations Harry was after all still a Gryffindor. He looked around at the mass of books littering the floor, glaring at them.

“We were looking for more information on Kelikan powers, Hsia was not very helpful at all before she and the others left.” Ron supplied and Draco nodded, the blonde looked as if Severus’ presence had woken him from a nap rather that interrupting his studying. Severus nodded and stood, he needed to think on what sort of ring to get his Harry.

Chapter 17:

Severus Snape was not by any stretch of the imagination a sentimental man, but staring at the long shelves of various rings and engagement bands he almost whished he was. With a resigned sigh he moved forward to talk with the salesman.

“Have you seen Severus?” Harry asked the others at breakfast that morning, he’d woken in his fiancé’s room with no trace of the other man ever being there. Ron and Draco shared a glance but shook their heads as did Naji and Hermione. Harry slumped slightly but Ron clapped him on the shoulder.

“He we should have another quidditch day, you wouldn’t want to fall out of practice, right?” he said cheerfully somehow managing to continue shoveling food in his mouth between words. Draco watched his mate eat with a mixture of disgust and fascination. Harry brightened and they did just that heading out into the field and spending the better part of the day flying and having fun. Harry swooped high above the field keeping an eye out for their charmed snitch, curtsey of Hermione, while also watching his friends. Draco seemed to fit in seamlessly dropping his previous attitude readily enough once out from under his father’s shadow. What surprised him more was how easy it was to accept this new Draco, he seemed honest and Harry to be honest with himself was tired of all the hating. The snitch buzzed by his face snapping him out of his thoughts and he speed after it with a joyful smile.

“Heya Ry! Snape is back” called Ron pointing over to the potions master who looked a bit agitated maybe even nervous.

‘Why would he be nervous?’ Harry wondered landing gracefully with the broom this time. His mind presented him with all the reasons his mate could look so agitated, none of them were good. Mentally shaking his head he looked up at Severus curiously, hoping that none of the scenarios that his frightened mind had presented him with came true. Severus watched the young man approach him and shifted slightly, mentally berating himself for acting like a school girl about to ask her crush on a first date.

“What’s going on Severus?” Harry asked watching him shift again and feeling a small sense of dread. Severus looked at him and took a deep breath to steady his nerves,

“It’s not anything bad Harry, nor did you do anything wrong, I’m sure that’s what your imaging.” He began setting out to calm Harry down, “First Harry I would like to dispel any lingering doubt you have about how…this came to be.” He tried but noted the raven haired boy’s confusion. Muttering under his breath about thick headed Gryffindors. He pulled his Harry into a fierce hug,

“I’m trying to say in no way do I, or will I ever regret having you like this with me. No matter the circumstances.” He whispered continuing before Harry could protest, “No, you did not force me into anything Harry. I didn’t fight your thrall as much as I could’ve that night, and believe me there was never going to be anything of the romantic nature for me in the near or far future.” He continued sneering. Harry closed his mouth and listened feeling the truth and … love that pulsed along his bond with Severus. The taller man released Harry and knelt down, though he wasn’t much shorter than his mate even on his knees, and held out a little black box.

“Harry James Potter, Harry Blackfighter, will you marry me?” he said quietly watching Harry’s face as he opened the box. The ring had three gems, one small diamond in the direct center of the white gold band and two teardrop cut gems framing it. One was a pink red, a ruby; and the other was a deeper red, a garnet, their birthstones. Harry stared at the ring completely overwhelmed. It was so beautiful and he couldn’t help but imagine Severus standing awkwardly trying to figure out what would mean the most to him. Harry picked up the ring and slipped it over his ring finger, feeling it magically adjust to his finger and then looked at Severus. The gratitude and pure joy that was etched in Harry’s face was enough to cause even the cold potions master to break out in a wide smile himself. Harry leapt up and hugged Severus hard before letting him pull back enough only to pull him into a kiss. Harry’s friends cheered in the back ground.

“Thank you Severus, oh thank you so much.” Harry whispered.

“You’re welcome Harry.” Severus replied giving him another light hug before releasing him. Harry’s friends swamped him with congratulations and hugs. Hermione was crying of course as she hugged him vigorously.

“Do we get to have a moment this mushy?” Draco asked Ron pretending to look disgusted while winking at Harry. Ron gave him a coy, sickly sweet smile,

“Of course we do Dray tonight when I’m shagging you through the mattress.” He replied making Hermione and Harry turn identical shades of red. They all shared a laugh but Harry couldn’t help but glance over at Severus…Later in the night Harry lay on Severus big four poster bed playing with the silk sheets and waiting for Severus to come back from his lab. He kept looking at the ring and admiring how beautiful it was, he didn’t ever want to take it off. He sighed and turned over holding his hand up and watching it sparkle in the light. He could picture a wedding, the grand event with all of his adopted family there… but what would his real family say? He knew that his father and Sirius would be disgusted and probably horrified at whom he’d chosen to spend his life with yet Severus had made him nothing but happy since his birthday. He was so deep in his musings that he didn’t hear the door as Severus entered and looked up at his surprised when the bed dipped with his weight.

“Sev…” he whispered watching his fiancé slink towards him. They engaged in a heated kiss, Severus hands which could never be idle for long it seemed teased Harry’s nipples. The boy gasped breaking the kiss and holding Severus off for a second,

“Sev…” he panted softly, “I…I love you.” He whispered blushing hotly. It felt so strange to be saying that to someone who he’d hated barely a month ago yet it was true.

“Harry…” Severus said looking at the boy. He lifted his fiancé’s hand and kissed just above the ring. Obsidian eyes gazed into emerald green eyes,

“I love you too my dear Harry.” The stoic potion’s mater said finally capturing Harry’s lips again with a softness he’d never expressed. Harry melted against him, panting pleasantly. His cheeks were flushed and his green eyes hazed over with need.

“Sev oh Merlin, Sevvvv.” Harry hissed grinding his hips against the taller man. He wasn’t entirely sure where this new feeling had come from but he had this desperate need for Severus. The potions master complied, ridding himself of his robe, shirt, and pants. Harry nearly giggled when he realized that his stoic lover-to-be wasn’t wearing any form of underwear. Severus lowered and began kissing every inch of Harry’s bare skin whilst ridding him of his pants and boxers. The boy was making the prettiest needy whimpers that Severus couldn’t help indulging him. Harry moaned loudly when those talented hands closed over his ragging hard-on.

“Nnngh Sev…” he moaned bucking and arching, “Sev, please Sev…” he whispered making the older man smirk evilly. His hands slowed their pace,

“Tell me what you want love.” He purred causing Harry to moan softly again.

“Sev…Sev make love to me?” he whispered blushing again, he needed it. Every fiber of his being wanted Severus inside him. Dark eyes darkened more than he ever thought possible and he claimed Harry’s mouth yet again, one hand leaving Harry’s cock to circle around his tight entrance. He was only slightly surprised to feel a slick wetness there; again information supplied from the books he borrowed helped prevent his ignorance. As an Ander Harry was equipped to assist his lover with entering him, special glands or something Severus could care less at this point more fixated on the hot willing body beneath him. He liberally coated his finger in the natural lubricant before withdrawing and adding a second finger. Stretching Harry with a scissoring motion he watched his lover’s enraptured face and delighted in the sounds that he was eliciting from him. Curling his fingers Severus brushed against that very sensitive bundle of nerves causing Harry to buck and moan harshly.

“Sevvv” he hissed pressing against those fingers desperately. Severus chuckled at his eagerness and added a third finger just to be careful; he didn’t want to hurt his Harry. Finally deeming Harry ready he grabbed his wand to whisper a quick spell coating his own cock in extra lube, most likely an unnecessary courtesy but he did it anyway. Positioning himself to enter Harry he looked at the boy. Committing what he saw to memory, Harry was flushed, legs spread and hot for him no one else. He slowly entered Harry who moaned low in his throat shifting only slightly from discomfort. Severus took it slow making sure not to hurt his young lover but he felt so good, so wonderfully tight. Once fully in he paused a moment to allow Harry to adjust fully, then pulled out and slammed back into that tight warmth. They both moaned, and Harry panted bucking against Severus. The potions master began a slow rhythm,

“Severusssss.” Harry hissed moaning in between, “Harder…Merlin… Harder…Faster…Please.” Severus complied. Soon they were both approaching the brink Harry was mumbling encouraging word, swears and his lover’s name, and Severus had his eyes locked on Harry’s face. Harry came first shrieking Severus’ name, his inner muscles constricting wildly. Severus followed after a few more wild thrusts with a muffled shout of Harry’s name. They collapsed in a sweaty tangle both breathing heavily and well satisfied. While Severus wasn’t execting anything as magnificent as fireworks he was expecting something to happen now that they’d fully bonded. Low and behold, something did. Circling Harry’s wrists, neck and ankles were small tattoo like marks upon closer inspection they resembled ancient runes. Ones that were commonly used in potions work to be precise. Harry watched calmly as Severus inspected the marks with a small smile gracing his lips. He kissed the hollow of Harry’s palm, then the crevice of his collar bone and finally his lips again. They shared the slow sweet kiss,

“My Harry.” Severus whispered, uncaring to how corny that must sound. Harry gave him a sweet smile and returned the sentiment adding,

“Can we do it again?”


A.N. So btw for anyone not intimately familiar with this unique awkwardness, writing smut in the library with curious college kids glancing at the screen is rather um…annoying. XD I’m soooooooo sorry that I took so long but life had to go rearing its ugly head and everything, on a good note I’m finally getting to the parts that I can’t wait to write =D So who thinks that Sev proposing was so overly corny? =) I had also originally intended to have Sev and Harry wait on bonding but I decided that was unrealistic. So I found something else to fill the purpose I had for that, what that is you’ll simply have to wait to find out. –Evil- Would you believe this is like my 2nd full out smex scene I’ve ever written? =P so who wants a bonus chapter of Ron/Draco smut? =P I’ll have a poll type thing. That also means we’ll see how many people read my ramblings. Say yes or nay in your review if you want bonus Ron/Draco smut. =P
Because I actually went to the ‘homepage’ of sorts that I included in my last chappie and decided that it was probably to many links here’s the direct link to the original story with kelikans and Anders http://www.freewebs.com/myoriginalworkscrux/longstory1.htm
