Crimsion Kiss

Recap of chapter 5

"Right, Potter." Malfoy mumbled. "Just watch where you're going. I'm late for my meeting with Severus."

" 'Severus'?"

"Yeah, Potter, he's a family friend and my godfather, I'm allowed to call him by his given name."

"Relax, Malfoy, I didn't mean anything by it." Harry said as he pushed past Malfoy and started out to find Remus.

Chapter 6

Harry stood outside of Remus' rooms, the map telling him Sirius was in there too. Taking a deep breath, Harry knocked softly on the door, almost hoping they wouldn't hear him.

The door swung open, Remus greeting him with a smile. "Harry, I'm glad you could come."

Harry nodded as he stepped into the room and took a seat across from Sirius. "Just tell me why you kept it from me."

Sirius cleared his throat." Harry, we didn't mean to keep anything from you. When we got the letter, we wanted to make sure it was the truth, not just a way for Voldemort to get you away from your friends."

"But you could have warned me!"

"Harry." Remus said. "Your father told us everything. And if he left something out, he at least told us why. He never, in all the years we knew each other, told us he had creature blood. As far as we can tell, there is no record of the Potters' having any relations with creatures. We do believe that this has something to do with Voldemort, so watch out for Malfoy."

"This is crazy!" Harry said as he stood and started pacing. "Voldemort has something planned but I don't think it's this. I think Snape would have told Dumbledore if that was true. So, unless Dumbledore is hiding something, I don't think that is what's going on. Maybe my dad just didn't want to tell you; maybe his parents didn't want anyone to know. I'm sure there are families like that."

"Nut James wasn't like that!" Sirius yelled. "James trusted us, he would have told us!"

"Then why am I in a Creature house and you don't know why?"

"We are getting no where like this." Remus sighed. "We still have a lot of things to finish searching. Harry, when we find out what is going on, we will tell you. And IF it is Voldemort, we will have Dumbledore move you back to Gryffindor."

Harry shrugged but knew he couldn't say anything. If they waned to believe that it was all a plot, they would. Nothing he could say would get them to understand that his dad just may not have told them, just like he didn't tell Ron and Hermione everything when they thought he did.

"Remus id right, Harry. We'll make sure to search everything before we say anything for sure. James may not have even known he had creature blood and that's why he didn't tell us. It may be on his mothers side of the family, we haven't checked her yet."

"Yeah." Harry smiled. "Listen, I still have stuff to unpack and get ready for classes, I'll see you all at dinner."

"I'll walk you out."

"Bye, Harry. You're welcome anytime you need to talk."

Harry nodded and smiled, waving to Sirius as he walked out the door with Remus.

"Harry, there is something I really need to talk to you about."

"Sure."

"I need you to watch out for Snape. I know he's still one of your teachers, but I don't want you alone with him. I know he is dangerous, even is he has proven his loyalty to Dumbledore."

"What do you mean?"

"I never got to school until my third year, because I wasn't able to handle being what I am. But when I came to school, Snape was the first person to talk to me. I met him while on a tour of the castle. He was quite nice to me. Then we turned the corner and James was there. I could tell that Snape didn't like him, and when they started to fight, I didn't like James either. Once I was sorted, Snape said he would have liked to have me as a friend. I didn't understand why he would say that. But later that night, I was put into a room with James, Sirius, and two other boys that I had never gotten along with. James had made me mad, talking about how evil Snape was, he claimed to have a reason, and Sirius backed him up on it, But I didn't want to believe that my knew friend was such a bad person." Remus took a breath and sighed.

"What changed your mind?"

"One night, about a week after I had gotten there, Snape still wouldn't talk to me. I had almost given up on him. I tried one last time to work things out, I gave him the dorm password and told him to meet me an hour before curfew. He never showed up, I waited five hours for him to come. I finally went to sleep. Sometime before morning, I woke up to screaming. The room was a mess, all of our trunks spilled onto the floor, our books with pages torn out, and Snape in James' bed, smothering him with a pillow and screaming out his coat. James had stopped breathing by the time we got him off, thankfully one of the other boys had gotten Dumbledore and Pomfrey, who got him breathing again. James' lips were blue and he couldn't talk for a week after that. Dumbledore put a spell on Snape, forbidding him to physically touch James."

"Why would he do that?"

"I'm not sure, Sirius said it wasn't the first time Snape had said James stole his coat."

"No, I mean, why did Dumbledore put that spell on Snape? Shouldn't he have made sure that my dad hadn't taken something of his?"

"James was questioned, he didn't have it."

"But..." Harry frowned. "Snape said that there is a way to get around truth serum! Maybe he said he didn't have it because it wasn't on him at the time! That's only half the truth, but it's still true. Maybe my dad had found a way around the questions."

"Harry... I know that you don't like to hear bad things about Snape, I know he's the one that Marked you, but you can't really think that a third year could talk his way around a potion, do you?"

"You always said my dad was a great wizard, he could have." Harry spat as he turned and walked down the corridor. He held his breath as he waited for Remus to yell at him but it never happened and he smiled.

"You seem to be in s cheerful mood today, eh, Potter?"

Harry spun around and was shoved into an alcove.

"You shouldn't all by yourself, Potter."

Harry looked into the dark eyes of Snape, gasping, as he pressed ever closer. "I'm just out for a walk, sir."

"Hmmn, I see." Snape murmured against Harry's neck, sending shivers down his back. "You should be more careful."

"Of course, sir."

Snape smirked and stole Harry's lips in a heated kiss. Harry signed, opening his mouth to the warm tongue caressing his bottom lip. His knees weak and shaking, Snape's arm around his waist was the only thing keeping him up. Moaning and grasping onto Snape's robes, Harry titled his head to the right, allowing his own tongue the freedom to move. His hands clung to the black teaching robes, knowing his nails must be leaving marks on that pale skin.

Snape pulled away, kissing down Harry's neck and wrapping one arm around his waist, the other braced against the wall.

Harry ached into the touch, flushing as he hard cock rubbed against Snape's thigh, though he couldn't bring himself to stop the frantic movement. He gripped the greasy hair, smelling the potion fumes Snape had been around that morning. He let his head fall back as his shirt was pushed up and cool fingers brushed across the heated skin on Harry's stomach. Biting his lip to hold back a moan, he looked into Snape's eyes. Once again, he saw the deep pools of black, no white left at all. Suddenly, Snape's hand on his stomach reached up and wrapped itself around his throat.

"Where is it?" Snape growled.

"W- where's w-w-what?"

"Don't play dumb with me, Potter. I know you have it, where is it?" Snape asked in a deadly voice as he squeezed tighter.

Harry couldn't breath, black dots floating before his eyes and his mind becoming fuzzy. He couldn't answer, could hardly move his mouth at all, much less get sound out.

Snape must have sensed this because he let go of Harry and kissed his neck once more, nipping at his ear before he pulled back to look at Harry, their noses almost touching. "Min kostbar nøkkel."

And with that, Harry was left standing alone. He gasped, fighting for breath when he noticed Hermione not far off down the corridor, watching him with wide eyes.

"Harry." She whispered, coming closer so he could hear her. "Are you okay? What just happened?"

"I'm not sure, really."

"Harry... did you catch what he said at the end?"

"Min kosta- something. Why?"

"He said 'Min kostbar nøkkel'." Hermione sighed. "I think it means 'My precious key'."

"What does that mean?"

"I'm not sure, Harry, but I think it may be a clue to what creature he is... Or which one you are."

A/N: A big scene with Snape! Not long, but it is important!

Also, I wish I could update more; I really do, and I will when I get the time but please keep in mind that I have a life. I just finished college and am working on graphic design stuff. You know this wonderful site here? I create stuff like this! And it takes a lot of time. If you would like to see my stuff you can go to my deviantART accounts. I have two of them.
