Chapter Six – Freedom

Severus felt his blood run cold at Remus\' words. His lungs froze to the point where he could hardly breathe. He slowly lifted his head from Harry’s chest and stared at Remus with wide, tear-filled eyes. \"He… He\'s gone?\" he asked, his voice so low Remus could barely make out the words, but he clearly understood from his reply.

\"Yes, Severus, Voldemort\'s gone,\" Remus said gently as he knelt down in front of them, his hand coming to rest gently on the light blanket that covered Severus\' slight form.

\"Lu… Lucius?\"

Remus was taken aback that Severus seemed more concerned with Lucius Malfoy\'s death than he was with the defeat of the Dark Lord. \"Yes, he was among the Death Eaters in attendance,\" he said, confused, and looked to Harry for some kind of clarification.

Pent-up tension released from Harry as he felt the weight of duty fall from his shoulders. Voldemort was dead. For the first time in his life, Harry felt free; free to make his own choices; he was no longer bound by a prophecy made before his birth, and that freedom was truly frightening. Harry was left with a sense of loss; without a purpose for his life.

He had barely had time to process the many emotions he was experiencing before hearing Severus’ tired voice questioning Remus and suddenly Harry felt all of that emptiness he had only seconds before been feeling, filled with his love for Severus. Harry’s arms tightened even more around the fearful man. “Lucius will never be able to hurt you again, love. He’ll never touch anyone with his filth again.”

Harry looked up at a very confused Remus and hesitated a moment, considering how to reply to the man’s unasked question. “Severus and Lucius have a long and frightening personal history together.”

Severus turned to look at Harry questioningly. When he saw the relief in Harry\'s eyes, he gave a long, shuddering sigh and curled into the warm body. \"It’s over,\" he whispered again and again as he was held. He closed his eyes and relaxed into Harry\'s embrace, allowing exhaustion and relief to lull him.

Remus reached out a tentative hand and very gently brushed the hair away from Severus\' face, concern etched deeply into his face. \"Is he all right?\" he asked softly.

Harry kissed the top of Severus’ head gently. “He’s going to be; we all are…now.” Harry’s eyes sought out Remus’. “I need you to understand that I would never knowingly hurt Severus. I love him very much.”

Remus nodded his understanding as he studied the two lovers continuing to hold each other tenderly. “I can see that. I’m sorry that I overreacted earlier, but you have to understand after what I saw in the classroom…and to come in here and witness what I did…” He smiled gently at the pair. “Well, needless to say, I’m quite relieved to witness how much the two of you obviously care for each other. No one deserves it more.”

“After what Voldemort has put both of us through, I’m amazed that Severus is allowing me a chance to love him, but I’m not giving him up for anything,” Harry replied.

“Which brings us right back to something I wanted to clarify,” Remus clarified, as he settled back onto his heels. “You mentioned that you had been able to overcome You-Know-Who’s possession earlier today, correct?”

“Yes, this morning, quite early, why?” Harry could almost see the wheels in Remus’ head spinning as he reasoned things out.

“Because that coincides with the time of the deaths at his hideout. What exactly happened?” Remus asked, his amber eyes blazing in expectation.

Harry blushed fiercely, but considering that his sexual relationship with Severus was obviously quite an open book, at least to Remus, he sighed and answered honestly. “Severus said something to me that triggered my anger, and Voldemort took over. I pinned him down and was about to rape him, when Severus reiterated to me how much he loved me. Somewhere inside of my head, I heard Severus’ voice, and as I echoed his words subconsciously, Voldemort cried out in pain and suddenly was gone from my head.”

“Then you fulfilled the prophecy; that has to be it,” Remus stated smugly. “You had the power of Severus’ love behind you. You must have destroyed his brain functioning, and with it, his connection to his followers must have ended, killing them as well. But then…” His brow furrowed as he stared off at a fixed point for a moment before his eyes snapped back to meet Harry’s.

“All of them should be dead,” Harry finished, wide-eyed at the realization. Harry scrambled to uncover Severus’ marked arm. “Dear sweet Merlin…”

Severus moaned as his body was assaulted with cool air as the blanket was removed to expose his arm. He pulled his eyes open reluctantly and looked down at the arm Harry and Remus were inspecting so closely. It took a moment for him to realize what was so shocking about it. He sat up suddenly, unconcerned with his state of undress, and gaped in shock at the smooth, unblemished skin on his formerly tattooed forearm.

Ever so slowly, a smile spread across Severus\' usually stony face and he began to snicker, which quickly became an all out belly laugh. He turned to Harry\'s shocked but smiling face and pulled him into a deep kiss. When he released Harry, he turned to look at Remus, who was blushing profusely as he stared wide-eyed at Severus\' uncovered crotch. Completely without thinking, he grabbed Remus around the ears and pulled him into the same deep kiss he had just given Harry.

Harry’s breath hitched when he watched Severus suddenly kiss Remus. His emotions warred with his libido as he felt his fear of rejection surging along with his arousal. Harry had known that Remus had been in love with Sirius, and though he had felt somewhat abandoned by the werewolf as he closed himself off into his own little emotional world, now that he knew how he felt about Severus, he completely understood Remus’ reaction. But this…

Harry tried to force himself to stay objective. Had there ever been something sexual between Remus and Severus? Why would Severus ever want to be with a seventeen-year-old inexperienced young man like Harry when he could have someone nearer to his own age? Harry heard Severus’ words of love repeating in his head, and his assurances that ‘no one’ had ever touched him in a loving way before Harry. Harry knew, especially after witnessing Remus’ defense of Severus, that if there ever was anything between the two, it had obviously never evolved into a physical relationship. Well…at least…not until now. Harry cleared his throat, and the two broke apart suddenly. “Well that certainly was unexpected,” Harry stated wryly.

Severus looked completely mortified by what he had done. He turned terrified eyes to Harry and resisted the urge to back away from him, knowing Harry wouldn\'t physically hurt him. \"I\'m sorry,\" he whispered. \"I don\'t know why I did that.\" And indeed he didn\'t. Severus had been physically attracted to Remus\' strong, lithe body, but had never once considered actually kissing the man.

Remus shook his head to try to clear his mind. He hadn\'t felt so excited by anyone in a long time. Seeing Severus so submissive with Harry when he had first stormed into the room had reawakened an old lust he had thought long gone, and the kiss, so unexpected and tender, had chased the blood from his head straight to his cock.

\"I… I should probably go,\" he said nervously as he stood up.

“Or maybe I should,” Harry stated quietly, hurt and insecurity evident in his face as he retreated from the room.

Severus stared in wide-eyed wonder as Harry quietly entered his bedroom, closing the door softly behind him.

\"Don\'t go,\" Severus pleaded softly, but the door was already closed. \"Well, I really bollixed it up this time, didn\'t I?\" he asked Remus, his eyes not leaving the bedroom door.

\"Go to him, Severus,\" Remus said, holding out his hand to Severus. \"He loves you, Severus. He\'ll forgive you for kissing another man as long as he knows that he\'s the one you\'ll always come home to.\"

Severus took a deep breath and nodded. He gave Remus\' hand a squeeze of thanks before walking unsteadily to the door. Remus smiled as Severus straightened his back and squared his shoulders, obviously preparing himself for an argument. Remus gave Severus\' trim body a last look of longing before slipping out the door and into the hallway.

Severus stepped lightly into the darkened bedroom, seeing Harry\'s silhouette sitting on his bed from the meagre light in the room. He closed the door and leaned back against it, uncertain about approaching his lover.

\"I\'m sorry, Harry. I honestly don\'t know why I did that.\" He waited in the silence for some soft of reply. When he got none, he took a tentative step forward. \"I love you, Harry. I never meant to hurt you. You are my keeper in so many ways. You are the one who will always hold my heart.\"

“Don’t be sorry,” Harry whispered, turning to face Severus, his face emerging from the shadows. “I’m just so scared that I can never live up to everything you need or want from me. We’ve been together less than twenty four hours, and already you’re kissing someone else. It hurt, Sev. Remus comes in here like some avenging angel defending your honour and I just can’t help but wonder if you deserve better. One day, some day, when I’m more secure, I may be ready to share you, but not today.”

“Just tell me what you want, Severus.” Harry wiped at the tears that threatened to fall with the edge of his sleeve, his breath hitching as it slowly exited his body. “I know you love me; I don’t doubt that at all. I’ll admit I was a bit thrown off when I saw you kissing Remus, but at the same time it was sexy as hell.” Harry’s cheeks coloured slightly as he forced himself to admit the truth.

\"What I want?\" Severus asked in disbelief. No one had ever asked what he wanted before. He was baffled by the question and had no idea how to answer it.

He thought about Remus, that it might have been interesting to be with the werewolf while Harry watched, that he might have enjoyed being taken by both men, but he could never do that to Harry. He would never ask that of his lover.

\"I…\" Severus turned his uncertain gaze back to Harry. The fact that Harry had found the sight to be \'sexy\' didn\'t embolden Severus in the least. \"I want whatever you want, Harry,\" he finally said with a shrug of his shoulders, not sure what to say.

“Stop that right now, Severus Snape,” Harry growled. “I am not Lucius Malfoy, and I will not sit here and allow you to subvert your every decision to me. I will tell you as many times as it takes to make you understand. YOU are in control here, not me. We can’t make this work if you aren’t going to be honest with me. Tell me what you want!”

\"All right!\" Severus yelled back, glaring at Harry, arms crossed defensively over his chest. \"I…\" Severus growled in annoyance as he flicked his wrist towards the little fireplace, starting a warm blaze, and sat down on the bed next to Harry. He gave another low growl before turning to face Harry.

\"I want…\" Slowly his face softened as he stared into Harry\'s questioning eyes. He traced long fingers feather-lightly down Harry\'s cheek and smiled gently. \"I want to be your pet, your lover and your friend, Harry James Potter.\"

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned his face into Severus’ hand. “And I desperately want to be your keeper, your lover, and your friend, Severus…” Harry suddenly chuckled, leaning his forehead against Severus’. “I don’t even know your middle name.”

Severus pulled Harry into a tight hug, hoping his blush would go unnoticed. \"I… don\'t have one,\" he said firmly, praying the subject would be dropped.

“Come now, no secrets, pet,” Harry teased, lying back onto the bed, and pulling Severus down by his side. His hand crept down to the still-restrained cock and balls that twitched in response to his light caresses. “You do want to come today, right?”

Severus gasped at Harry\'s touch and looked at him in mock anger. \"Blackmail!? You really should have been in Slytherin!\"

He began kissing Harry\'s face, along his cheek and strong jaw, his fingers lightly dancing across the smooth chest. He kissed, licked and nipped gently down Harry\'s throat, making his way to a pert little nipple. He hoped that with enough distraction, Harry would forget all about the question.

“Exactly where the bloody hat wanted to put me.” Harry’s hands sought a now-familiar path through Severus’ hair, linking in the long locks as his body moaned and writhed under Severus’ ministrations. He arched up into Severus’ mouth, encouraging Severus to suckle harder on his nipple. “Oh yes, pet. That feels so g-good. But no middle name…” Harry whispered a spell and the cock ring tightened a fraction more. “…no orgasm for Severus.”

Severus growled and inadvertently bit down hard on the little nub he had been suckling. He kissed his apology on the sensitive flesh.

\"Shrahemlbly,\" he mumbled incoherently against Harry\'s chest.

“Severus, I’m bloody well warning you,” Harry admonished, forcibly lifting Severus’ head up from his chest, “you don’t want to defy me. I will leave you unsatisfied. Just…say…it!”

\"Sally! All right? My middle name is Sally! My mother wanted a girl,\" he said with a sneer. \"And if you don\'t wipe that smirk off your face, you\'ll never get your cock near me again!\" he said hotly as Harry tried to suppress his laughter.

Harry snorted, biting his lip with the effort to hold back his laughter. However, when he felt Severus begin to pull away, he sat up, his hands immediately tightening around the older man’s hips, as he pulled Severus into his lap. His mood sobered somewhat though a smirk still played across his face.

“Such idle threats, pet. You don’t honestly think that you can pull that off, do you? My cock will be in your mouth and your arse as often as I please.” Harry bucked his erection up against Severus’ cleft as his hands slid up the strong back to again tangle in the Potions Master’s silken locks. Harry dragged Severus’ lips less than a centimeter away from his own, and met the obsidian gaze, his eyes alight with warmth and love. “You’ve nothing to fear from me. I’m not my father, and I’m not Lucius Malfoy. I’ll never mention it again if you don’t want me to. Humiliation will never be part of our games.”

\"Games? And what games will we be playing?\" Severus asked playfully.

“Exploding cock. Mine. While buried deep in your arse.” Harry again whispered the spell to constrict the cock ring even tighter and captured Severus’ lips in a fiery kiss. He slid a hand in between them to tease at Severus’ cock again, knowing that his stimulation would only serve to bring Severus’ need even higher without hope of fulfillment. In less than a minute, he roughly broke the kiss. “Ready yourself for me. I want you to ride me this time.”

Severus\' heart and breath sped up with Harry\'s touch and words. He straddled Harry as he called for a jar of salve to use as a lubricant, his eyes flashing with desire and lust. He opened and set the jar on Harry\'s heaving chest and dipped two fingers into the slick contents. He drew them out and smirked down at Harry as he leaned forward slightly and reached behind himself. He gasped lightly as his fingers slid into his body. It stung a little still from their rough coupling, but in a most gratifying way.

He leaned further over Harry and licked his lips and open mouth. He worked his fingers quickly, stretching himself to accommodate his lover\'s fair sized equipment. When he thought he was ready, he removed his fingers and ran the leftover lube down Harry\'s cock, squeezing it gently.

Harry’s breath quickened at the sight of Severus preparing himself, and his cock throbbed with need. When he felt Severus sliding his long, elegant fingers down the length of his cock, he moaned and bucked up into the Potions Master’s hand. “Very good, pet. Lower yourself onto me slowly. I need to feel that tight arse around me now.”

Severus licked his lips as he sat back, one hand steadying himself on Harry\'s chest, the other lining Harry\'s hard, slick cock up to his waiting hole. He swallowed hard before panting, his eyes never leaving Harry\'s as he slowly sank down. He whimpered softly as his arsehole was breached, and pleasure streaked across his face.

Settling himself down on Harry\'s lap, Severus put both hands onto Harry\'s chest and gave himself a moment to relax and even out his breathing. He closed his eyes and bowed his head, enjoying all the sensations around him; Harry\'s cock filling and stretching him; Harry\'s warm hands on his cool flesh, griping his hips tightly; Harry\'s soft moans of delight tickling his ears; Harry\'s heart beating as wildly as his own under the weight of his hands.

He smiled and looked back to Harry\'s eyes when his lover grew impatient and lifted him up slightly. He nodded briefly and began pulling himself off Harry\'s cock almost all the way, then slammed his body back down hard. He started up a hard and fast rhythm, pulling almost all the way out, then back down. He shifted slightly and threw his head back, calling out in pleasure as his prostate was hit.

Harry’s hands moved up Severus’ sides and around to his nipples, twisting and pulling them, enjoying the whimpers and moans of content and longing that emanated from Severus’ throat. Harry could tell that Severus’ need was growing exponentially, his balls tightening, trying in vain to release the pent up seed inside of them. His hands moved back to Severus’ hips, and he began lifting Severus in time with his own upward thrusts, slamming against Severus’ prostate with every stroke.

“Touch yourself, Severus. I want you to come for me.” With a whispered word, the cock ring dissolved from around the base of Severus’ member.

Severus gasped as the hold on his cock was suddenly released. He was grateful for Harry\'s hands moving him as he was unable to concentrate enough to grab onto his cock and move on Harry\'s at the same time. It only took two pulls on his over sensitised member to bring him over the edge with a scream of passion locking in his tightened throat. His entire body clenched and spasmed with the intensity of his climax.

Harry could feel Severus’ arse contracting rhythmically around his cock. Only the fact that he had come so many times already that morning kept him from spewing his seed at that very moment. Marshalling all of his control, Harry watched Severus ride out most of his orgasm before roughly flipping them over, their bodies still fused together. Harry pushed the long, pale legs up over his upper arms, and bent the older wizard’s legs back as far as possible as he braced himself on the bed.

Harry paused for a moment to even out his breathing. He took a long look at his lover, and knew that he would do anything to keep this strong, amazing man in his life forever. Severus’ eyes were closed, long, dark lashes complementing his flushed face; raven hair spilling haphazardly on the crisp white linen sheets; lips reddened from Harry’s kisses, and standing out in sharp contrast against his alabaster skin.

When the onyx eyes fluttered open and locked with his own, Harry was spurred into action. He started hammering into Severus, staking his claim over the man he loved.

“You’re…mine… Don’t…ever…forget that.” It didn’t take more than a dozen hard thrusts before Harry was climaxing, spurting his seed deep within his lover.

As Harry shifted and released his legs, Severus wrapped them and his arms tightly around Harry\'s still shuddering body. Severus\' own body shook violently as he sobbed silently into the crook of Harry\'s neck, holding on as though his life depended on it.

Harry could feel Severus shaking against him, and a wave of fear swept through him. Had Voldemort ever truly been responsible for what he had done? Or had his own anger spurred him to abuse the fragile man he loved so very much?

“Oh gods, Severus, are you all right? Are you hurt? Fuck! Remus was right; I’m no good for you. I’m no better than Lucius Malfoy or Voldemort himself.”

Severus stopped shaking momentarily, though his hold on his young lover never wavered. He sniffled noisily a few times, then his body began to shake again. Harry whispered more heartfelt apologies before realizing there was a difference to the tremors currently racking his lover and pulled back enough to look down at Severus\' smiling, laughing face.

\"Foolish Gryffindor,\" Severus said with a shake of his head at Harry\'s confused expression. \"You talk entirely too much.\" He kissed Harry\'s nose before relaxing his entire body under Harry\'s comforting weight. Looking up into Harry\'s concerned eyes, he gently cupped a flushed cheek and smiled serenely.

\"Marry me, Harry?\" he asked with the gentleness of a spring breeze, his eyes shining with love and affection.
