Deserving (Final Chapter)

Chapter 26

“Potter, as amusing as you may find this, I would like to get back to my normal size,” squeaked a scowling Sly.

Harry took out his wand and in an instant Sly was back to his normal size. As soon as the transformation took place Sly took out his wand and was headed for the floo. Ron and Harry managed to block his path.

“Where do you think you are going?” asked Harry, standing up to his senior partner.

“Get out of my way, Potter. My colleagues are in danger. I must warn them.”

“Calm down, Sly. You were the only one in any real danger. We were able to get to the rest last night. You are the only one that keeps the location of your home a secret. And since you don’t even have an elf we had no way to warn you,” explained Ron.

“Wait, what? You knew and you didn’t tell me,” said Harry, glaring at Ron.

“Come off it. How many times have you yourself admitted that you know nothing about Sly’s private life?”

“He’s my partner. I had all the right in the world to know if he was in any kind of danger,” protested Harry.

“Look it was late and we had worked all day on the mission. Neville took care of this.”

“Yeah, well, Neville and You. And if I am not mistaken, I could have sworn I saw you in the same mission I was yesterday.”

“Look the only reason I was involved is that it was Hermione who saw it coming. When I told her that Single had glared at the Slytherin Aurors she put two and two together and sounded the alarm. Obviously I was caught in the middle,” further explained Ron.


“Weasley, are you sure the rest are safe?” asked the concerned Slytherin.

“Yeah, Sly, I put my partner and his wife on a plane to Canada myself this morning and Neville took the rest to the safe house. No one is going to hurt them,” assured Ron.

Sly seem to breath a sigh of relief.

“Mr. Sly, please take a seat. Would you like a glass of water?” asked Severus, making himself heard for the first time.


“No, Professor, I am fine. Are you alright?”

“Yes, Mr. Sl….”

“Professor, please, if I am not mistaken we were at Hogwarts at the same time. There is no need for formalities. Sly will do.”

Severus simply nodded his agreement. Harry turned to Ron to further question his actions.

“So why did you send Rick and Peggy to Canada?”

“Peggy has family there and she has worked summers at the University there. She will be able to get a job easily and blend in.”

“Yeah, but what about Rick?”

“I know, it won’t be so easy for him, but it just didn’t seem fair to send them into hiding when there was someplace where they could be safe and have some semblance of a normal life. Who knows, maybe he can find a job as a law enforcement officer there.”


“Ron, muggle police don’t take older men into the force. Even with Peggy’s help it will take years for him to adjust to guns and close-combat fights with knives and fists and DNA testing and learning to be comfortable with computers and driving cop cars, let alone the fact that he’ll never be able to use magic to disarm someone or use truth serums to conduct interviews. There are still things about this world that make people look at me weirdly when I don’t know them but at least people here understand that I’m a muggle born. He won’t be able to say ‘oops, sorry, in my world we heat water by putting this stick in it, stir and say these words. Who’s going to trust him to have their back if he can’t even work out a microwave? Plus they have to be young so they can pass the academy training,” explained Harry, but no sooner had the words come out of his mouth he felt the heat of Snape and Sly’s glare.

“Look, I meant no harm, Rick is a great Auror and a great dueler but physical ability is pretty damn important when you can’t use magic to compensate.” He turned to Ron. “You did tell him he couldn’t use magic?! They can trace it and find him.”

“One of these days you’re going to realize that I am not the idiot you think I am,” said Ron, turning to leave.

Harry managed to hold him. “I didn’t mean it that way. I’m just rambling here. I hate that everyone keeps me in the dark. Look, I grew up in the muggle world. I can be a valuable asset if you guys would only trust me.”

“Potter, what are you on about? We trusted you with are children. There can not be any greater display of trust,” interjected Sly.

Harry felt respect for the wizard that was talking to him and decided he would not argue with him.

“Now, if you two would step out of the way, I will take my leave.”

“What? NO!” yelled the two Gryffindors.

“Mark, you can’t leave. They will be looking for you everywhere. You must stay hidden for the time being,” pleaded Harry.

“Potter, I am well aware of the fact that I must keep myself from the lime light. I assure you I am capable of doing so.”

Ron saw the determination in Sly’s attitude and decided to intervene.

“Sly, may I speak to you in the kitchen?”

Mark Sly agreed and followed Ron. Harry looked at Snape with a ‘beats me’ look. Once in the kitchen and away from earshot Ron started:


“Look, Sly, I know you fought against the Marked Ones, but the Professor…”

“The Death Eaters, Mr. Weasley, there is a distinked difference. The Marked Ones are victums not perpertuaders; and I have nothing against the Professor.”

“Good, because I was hoping you would stay on and take care of him.”

“Take care of him?”

“Yeah, well, it is a long story but we really don’t know how Harry is treating Snape. You see, Snape believes he should be punished and that he deserves everything Harry does to him…”

“What does Potter do to him?”

“Well, that is just it. We don’t know what he does or if he does something to the Professor. That is why when Harry was insisting you stay here I thought that would be the perfect opportunity to make sure the Professor is alright.”

Sly considered Ron’s words.

“Do you really think Potter capable of hurting the Professor?”

“Sly, Harry was my best friend, but he did enter that room in the Ministry.”

The silence grew in the room and Ron allowed those words to sink into Sly. When all the analyzing was done Sly simple nodded his head. They entered the sitting room and announced that Sly would be staying for the time being. Harry was shocked but pleased.

***

That night Harry entered the bedroom to find Severus with his white tunic on and tying his sandals all the way up to his calf.

“What are you doing?” asked Harry with a puzzled tone.

“I am sorry, Sir, I was under the impression that this morning you said that you would be requiring my services.”

Harry looked at him lost for words.

“I will go change,” said Severus, standing to go change when Harry walked over and took him in his arms.

“You do know how he convinced him, right?”

Yes they both had an idea of what had transpired in the kitchen.

“He will not find anything wrong. You are a kind Guide that provides for all my needs. His presence here should not keep you from taking your pleasure. I am, after all, your husband. These are my duties.”

Duties, yes that was how Snape saw their mating, as a duty, thought Harry, lowering his head. Severus saw the crest fallen wizard and knew he had caused his sadness.

“ I have been waiting for this all day. Please do not allow his presence in our home keep you from keeping your promise. You did promise me that tonight I would feel you inside of me. That you would take me,” whispered Severus in Harry’s ear.

Harry backed his head to look into Snape’s eyes.

“You want to do this?” he asked in amazement.

“It is all I have been thinking about all day. I wanted to…”

“…to what?” asked Harry, searching for Severus’ eyes.

But Snape seemed too embarrassed to speak.

“Snape, what did you want to do?”

“You will think I am perverted,” said Snape, still averting his eyes.

“So you wanted to wank. Look, you can do it. I know your body needs…”

But he stopped when he saw that Snape was shaking his head.

“No? You didn’t want to wank? Then what?” and when no answer came, “Snape, you know I don’t like it when you disobey. I am asking you a question and I want an answer, what did you wish to do?”

“I wished to have you bend me over every surface we encountered during our day together,” Snape whispered but Harry was still able to hear the confession.

Harry couldn’t believe his ears. Snape really wanted him.

“But doesn’t it hurt when I take you?” questioned the Guide, still not taking in the info that had been given.


“Sir, as I have assured you before, the lube prevents any real pain. And what little is there is over shadowed by the fact that you are… taking me. That you are filling me with your essence,” said Severus, trying to turn away from his husband.

“Come here,” Harry said, guiding Snape to the mirror.

Severus looked in horror. He hated the mirror and did not know what he had done to deserve it. He tried to hide his face in his husband’s neck.

“No, turn,” was the simple command. “Look in the mirror, obey.” Severus had no other choice but to do so. He turned in his husband’s arms and looked up into the mirror, seeing the horror of his stark ugliness next to his husband’s beautiful features.

“Look at you. You are as ugly as ever.”

Severus closed his eyes.

“I said look,” commanded the Guide.

Severus opened his eyes.

“How have you done it? How have you made me desire you so much? You have no magic, no potions, but yet you have done this to me. How?”

Severus looked sideways to look at Harry’s real face as opposed to the mirror image. Harry was still looking straight into the mirror. Did Harry just say that he desired him? Harry nudged Severus’ face with his nose forcing him to look back into the mirror. Harry took a deep whiffed of Snape’s sent.

“Always smell so sweet. How do you do it? Why is it so hard for me to see another man touch you? You can’t leave me,” Whispered Harry into his husband’s neck.

“I will never leave you. I have told you numerous times. I belong to you and you alone. Sir, please do not torture me any longer. Please take me,” whispered Snape, into Harry’s ears, driving him nuts with that sensual voice.

“That’s another thing, that voice, that voice that you only use with me. It drives me nuts.”

“I will stop at once.”

“And I will be very angry if you do,” said Harry, tuning Severus in his arms.

He lifted Snape’s face and pressed their lips together. “Open” was the command given and the command was obeyed. Harry ran his hands all over Severus’ back. He lifted the short skirt and looked for the string but could not feel it.


“Are you tied?” he asked when he came up for air.

With foreheads together, “always, Sir.”

“I can’t find it.”

Nibbling on his husband’s earlobe. “Remember it is magical.”

“I like that you do this for me, and the costume and you telling me that you want me even when I know that is highly doubtful.”

Severus continued to nibble on his husband’s ear. Why was it so hard for Harry to believe that he wanted him? That he craved his touch? Severus was the one touching now. He crept to Harry’s groin and searched. There was no sign of Harry being aroused by all the touching and nibbling.

“Why are you searching for it? It will be there when it has to be there. Isn’t it always?”

“Yes, Sir, it is. I was just hoping that I would be the one to capture its attention and with any luck it would be the big one.”

“The big one?” asked Harry, searching for Snape’s eyes.

“Sir seems to be able to display two different sizes.”

“Yes, but aren’t I more aggressive when ‘the big one’ is out to play?” asked Harry when comprehension dawned on him.

“I have always been able to handle it haven’t I?”

Harry looked at him and smiled. “Yes, you have,” he said, guiding Severus to the bed. “Lie down and think only of me. When I come back I want to hear more pretty little lies.”

Severus watched as his husband disappeared into the loo. Harry took a long time in the loo but when he came out he found Severus with a magazine in his hand. Severus could see that Harry’s pajama bottoms were already tented. He felt a pang in his stomach. He wanted to be the one to arouse his husband but alas it was not to be.

“What is that?”

“It is the catalogue from which I purchased the tunic.”

Severus handed the catalogue out to his husband. Harry adjusted his glasses and began to read:
Do you want total control over your Pet?
Do you want this control even when you are not around?
This Magical Anal Plug will do the trick. You can charm it to mimic your same exact features so your pet can feel you even when you are not there.
Into more naughty things? Charm this plug to grow every time your pet hears a certain word.
Or be very cruel and have it shrink every time your pet hears...


But Harry was interrupted by a loud shriek coming from the hallway. Severus and him sprinted to the hall and found Millicent trying to hide Baby with her body from Sly.

“Millicent, it’s alright, this is Sly, my partner,” assured Harry, trying to approach her slowly so as not to scare her even more.

“Millicent? Millicent Bulstrode ? The Lang’s Marked One?” questioned Sly in surprise.

Severus gave him a nod to answer the slew of questions.

“But this is insane. Potter, she should not be here. We must get her to safety…”

“Sly she has been here for a while. She is safe here and Kreacher makes sure to keep her out of harm’s way.”

“But how did she get here?”

“I found Baby first, so when…”


“Baby? Doesn’t he have a name?”

Harry looked at Severus for help.

“Yes, Mr. Sly, he does but we prefer not to use it and our Millicent hasn’t decided on a new name.”

Sly thought for a second and recognition covered his face. He remembered reading the file and be outraged at the child’s name. He was grateful for the fact that Harry had forgone the child’s name. Potter was obviously treating the Slytherin with respect and decency.

“I see, but I still don’t understand how they got here and if my memory serves me right that child should be dead.”

“Yes, well, it seems the father had one decent act towards his offspring and gifted him his life,” explained Severus.

“Well, if you can call giving him to Mundungus ‘giving him his life,” interjected Harry.

“Mundungus Fletcher the thief?” questioned Sly.

“The very one, he was trying to sell him in Knocturne Alley. I was able to rescue Baby so when Neville rescued Millicent he brought her here to reunite her with her baby.”

“I know who you are,” said Millicent as if it had just clicked. “You are Mark Sly, you are Genevieve’s husband,” she said in amazement.

“What? You’re married?” asked Harry, not being able to contain his shock.

“Widower,” said Sly as he descended the steps.

“Harry,” cried Millicent. “Everyone knows the story of how the Dark Lord killed her days after their wedding.”

Harry looked up at Severus who continued the story.

“Mr. Sly would not take the Mark so the Dark Lord captured his bride in an effort to convince him to take it, but she committed suicide, not wanting to be the cause for his allegiance to the dark side; leaving the Dark Lord without a bargaining chip.”


Harry decided he needed to go downstairs and speak with his partner.

***

Mark was looking into the flames in the sitting room and did not acknowledge Harry’s presence.

“She is not evil, you know,” said Harry breaking the silence.
Sly lifted his head but did not turn to look at Harry.

“What are you on about, Potter?”

“Millicent, she has the mark but you’ve got to understand he would have killed anyone who dared not take his mark. She was only a kid.”

“That is rich, Potter. A Gryffindor trying to explain the Dark Lord’s actions to a Slytherin.”

“I know you hate and fought against the Marked Ones all your…”

“No! Potter you and Mr. Weasley are mistaken. I have fought against the Death Eaters; not the innocent and naive who took the mark out of fear of death. I do not hate her. She chose life.”

“Yeah, well not everyone is brave enough to choose death,” explained Harry.

“Brave!... Brave!... You think it is brave to choose death over life? Oh, Harry you are young and naïve. If you learn one thing from me and one thing alone let it be this: it takes much more courage to live then to die. If she would have lived I would have found a way. I know I would’ve, but she choose death.”

“She prevented you from becoming a Death Eater.”

“No, Potter, she prevented me from taking the Mark. That is all the Dark Lord would have been able to impose. He would have always known that I was not to be trusted with Death Eater’s assignments. I would have never been one. Just like the Professor was never truly his servant.”

Harry had no desire to argue with the man. He bid his goodnights and went to bed.

***

When Harry opened the door to the bedroom, Snape rushed to his side. Harry opened his arms and took him in.

“Snape, I wanted it to be good for you, but I am so far gone that I don’t think I can make it last,” said Harry into Snape’s ear.

Snape had to stop and enjoy the moment. Harry was actually taking his feelings into consideration. It was true that he would not be doing anything to cater to Snape’s desire but he had a vague notion of his needs. “Come, Sir, let me tend to your needs. Shall I prepare or will my mouth suffice?”

“No, Snape, I want to penetrate,” whined Harry.

“Then you shall. Have I not told you I will tend to your needs and desires? Do you wish me to prepare for you or are you in such a state that you will cast a spell to prepare me?”

“No, I want to see you prepare for me,” continued Harry, that same need in his voice.

Severus guided his husband to sit on the edge of the bed then took the bottle of lube and got on all fours on the floor. Harry watched with hooded eyes laden with desire. Snape knew how to make him feel so good. Snape got up from the floor and guided Harry to lie on his back then he climbed up on his erect manhood and lowered himself down on to the awaiting shaft. OH, it felt so good to finally feel his husband in him.

“Snape, move, I need to feel you movinggggggggggggggg. Like that… Snape, more, More!!!!”

Severus lifted himself up which was torture because all he really wanted to do his go down, down, down. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… Harry was in him. Harry was going to come in him and leave his essence inside of him. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… the thought was intoxicating.

“Snape!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

A/N

Sorry this was so late. It is getting so hard to get some writing time into my schedule and it doesn't help that my computer died on me. My husband got me a new one but did not by Microsoft Office. I will have to get that with my next pay check. Right now I am using the trial version.

Well, enough of my traumas. Hope you enjoy this chapter. For some reason it took three trips to my Beta and we are still not happy with it. Oh, well, I had to post something. I really miss you guys. The reviews and responses haven't been like they use to be.


Take care my friends,
