Letter

Chapter 29

“You’ve got a letter!” Harry practically jumped away from Severus as Jasper came bustling into the bedroom without knocking. Jasper had rather a habit of doing that, especially on days when Harry was training with him first thing in the morning. It wouldn’t have been so bad but Severus’ hand had up until that point been wrapped tightly about Harry’s cock, giving him a luxurious morning hand job.

“Give it here.” Harry glared at Jasper as Severus sat up his hand falling away from Harry’s cock to take possession of the letter. Jasper remained stood at the foot of the bed staring at Harry as Severus pulled open the letter and began to read to himself. Harry lowered his gaze to the bed spread and pulled the blankets a little self consciously up around him as Jasper continued to stare at him the strange smile he used when looking at Harry present on the corners of his lips. “Damn, I knew this would happen.” Severus swore to himself and rose from the bed unashamed of his nakedness in front of his brother as he grabbed his robe and wrapped it loosely around his body.

“What’s going on? Who’s the letter from?” Severus strode out of the bedroom, Jasper hastily following his brother, leaving Harry to hastily pull on his boxer shorts and follow the two brothers.

“It’s from Dumbledore, I’ve got to go back to Surrey.” Severus glanced over his shoulder as Harry stumbled out of the bedroom still wrapping one of his Severus’ robes around himself.

“Why?” Harry inquired, already beginning to panic at the prospect of being left alone without Snape.

“They’ve attacked Grimmauld Place.” Severus had moved into the kitchen and was hastily making himself a cup of tea, while Jasper listened in from the doorway.

“Attacked Gimmauld Place? Are Sirius and Remus alright?” Concerned now not only for Snape but also for his godfather and his best friend Harry followed Snape uselessly around the kitchen, his heart racing. It had only been a week since they’d made love, and Harry was only just beginning to really come to terms with how close he and Snape had become. Yet now it seemed the man was going to be taken away from him.

“I don’t know but I’ll find out when I get there.” Snape was hastily drinking his tea as he passed back out of the kitchen and moved into the lounge room. Harry like a distressed puppy followed him completely ignoring Jasper who was observing the conversation quietly from the kitchen doorway.

“Well can’t we fire call them and find out, and why do you need to go? Am I coming with you?” Harry knew he sounded pathetically desperate but he could help the feelings welling up inside him. Harry had come to just accept the bond and the emotions it brought with it, but at times like this Harry couldn’t control how helpless he felt as the bond cried out.

“Ah no fire calls, this place isn’t connected to the floo network.” Jasper added quickly as Harry looked to him for confirmation of his suggestion.

“And for good reason to.” Snape quickly added as he finished his tea and spun around to stare sternly at Harry. “I need to go Harry because I’m the only one who knows what Voldemort is capable of and they need me to help in finding them. You are not coming with me because it’s too dangerous, and you’ve got training to continue.” Harry sighed and stared sadly at Snape who sighed heavily himself. “Don’t give me that look Potter, it won’t achieve anything. You’re staying here with Jasper and that’s final. I’ll be ready in an hour Jasper, can you take me to the station because I won’t risk apperating from here and giving away our position?” Jasper nodded at his younger brother before Snape turned and disappeared into the bedroom to pack, leaving the door to slam closed behind him. Harry sighed heavily and slumped down into the armchair by the fire, trying and failing to stop his eyes from welling up with tears. Behind him Harry heard Jasper approach him before a gentle hand came down to rest on his shoulder. Harry looked up at Jasper who smiled warmly down at the younger wizard.

“Severus isn’t stupid Harry, my brother is quite capable of looking after himself, and he’ll be fine. Besides he’s right, you are far safer here than in Surrey.” As much as Harry knew what Jasper said was true it did little to alleviate his worries and fears of loosing Severus.
