Strangers in the Night

I am back with the last two chapters of this little ficlet and I hope you enjoy them. If you can leave me a review and tell me what you think. And I am so sorry for that nasty cliffy but you did not have to wait long for this chapter.


“That is impossible Albus,” Severus stated in a calm manner as his thoughts were racing. He was aware that Harry was lying behind his couch, naked, and the thought of his horror was making him sick to his stomach.

Albus' face in the flames looked way older than his usual as he contemplated that.

“He has proof my boy. I am afraid he was in St. Mungo's and they made a test.” He fell silent until he sighed deeply. “Severus, he has invoked the right of the first born.”

Losing all composure Severus staggered backwards and all colour left his face.

“Albus...”

“I know Severus, and I promise you we will look into it. I have contacted several old friends and we will get this sorted out but for now I must beg you to not do anything in a rush.”

Nodding Severus met the eyes of his mentor, substitute father and friend.

“Fine. I have matters to sort out here anyway.”

The flames went out and Severus pinched the bridge of his nose in a vain attempt to stall for time. His blood had run cold and the thought that that shallow wizard was carrying his first born child and actually wanted to force him into a marriage was almost unbearable.

Turning around he crossed the room to have a look at the young wizard behind the couch and found him curled up into a ball on his side with his shoulders shaking but no sound left his mouth. Kneeling down next to him Severus gently touched his shoulders but that just provoked another shudder to run down his body.

“Harry, talk with me please,” he whispered softly.

Looking up green eyes were filled with tears and his breathing was ragged, desperation ready to swallow him.

“What is the right of the first born?”

Sighing Severus sat down next to his lover. “It is an ancient family law from the times when there were very little wizards and witches around. It says when a powerful wizard has his first child with someone and is not in a proper relationship, he can be forced into a marriage.” Taking in Harry's horrified expression, he quickly added, “But this law is a relict from old times and as not been used for centuries.”

“But Renee wants to, doesn't he?”

Touching Harry's cheek gently, Severus smiled. “We will prevent this Harry. Albus will find a way and everything will be all right.”

Pulling the younger wizard closer Severus tenderly kissed those soft lips. “I love you Harry and nothing- not even Renee and old wizarding laws- will change that.”

Nuzzling the potion master's neck Harry mumbled something into the shirt.

“Good because I should have your child and not that stupid sod Renee.”

Inhaling deeply Severus brought Harry's face up to face him and his eyes spoke of the ardour of passion he felt.

“Harry, male pregnancy is a complicated matter and mostly it just does not happen. Therefore I am so surprised that Renee is carrying my child. But if I wanted to have a child with anybody, it would be you.”

Harry smiled and pushed the older wizard to the ground so that his back rested against the couch and evilly rubbed his hand over the soft bulge in Severus' pants causing the man to throw his head back and moan.

“You do not have to do this right now Harry to prove to me how much you love me,” he hissed as Harry opened his pants and began to slowly pump the hardness he found there.

“But I can do it because I want to?” Harry asked cockily and bent his head to take the throbbing dick into his mouth. Using his tongue to trail the underside he bobbed his head up and down to firmly suck on the shaft. Gently kneading Severus' testicles he trailed one hand to his lover's buttocks. Tentatively he pushed the tip of his finger into the tightness he found there. He heard Severus curse loudly and his dick erupted into orgasm filling his mouth with his semen.

Gulping most of it down Harry finally let go of Severus' cock and looked up licking one strand of white liquid from the corner of his mouth.

“I want you Severus, probably more than anything in this world and the thought of losing you to that slut Renee is making me sick.”

A graceful pale hand brushed some curls out of Harry's face and Severus pulled him into a tight embrace.

“I am yours,” he whispered into Harry's ear.


The room was dark with no candle lit and the two humans sitting on the large bed were only two shadows. One of them was Renee and he was indeed pleased with his little plan to trap Severus Snape in a marriage. His hard features twisted into smugness as he contemplated that one Harry Potter had probably cut his ties with Severus by now.

“I would not consider it that easy,” the woman said in a high pitched voice when she took in the expression of the wizard. “You are aware that those two have powerful allies and we cannot fool them forever.”

Renee huffed and stretched out on the cotton sheets.

“Just until I am married. A bond like that is impossible to break.”


Severus must have fallen asleep because the next time he woke, he was resting in his bed alone. Getting up he crossed the room and wanted to exit the bedroom when he heard the voice of Hermione Granger.

“But Harry, they checked it at St. Mungo's and I highly doubt they are easily tricked.”

Harry's voice sounded angry. “Listen to me- I will not let him walk away just like that. For the first time in my life I feel like I am were I am supposed to be and I will not give it up.”

Carefully Severus opened the door and peered into the room. Harry stood in front of the unlit fireplace and Hermione was sitting on the couch next to her husband Ron Weasley.

“Mate, listen how can you be sure about that. Three days ago you would have sent me to the psych ward in St. Mungo's if I told you, you wanted to have that bat's child.” Ron got up. “Maybe in a couple of weeks you wake up and find-”

“Shut up!” Spinning around Harry faced his friend, anger beyond anything Severus had seen before on his face. “It may be hard for you to understand but I love him, need him. And I won't give him up and if you don't have anything else to add, you are free to go.”

Meeting Hermione's gaze Ron raised his hands. “Calm down Harry.”

“Why? Do you think it is disgusting that I want Severus? Do you think there is something wrong with me because I love him?” Advancing on his red-headed friend Harry unconsciously drew his wand. “Just for the record- he is an amazing, caring and loving person and I've never fucked more than in the last two days.”

“Stop it Harry!” Severus' voice was calm and even, but he had drawn his wand too. His black eyes were bored into Harry's until the younger wizard dropped his eyes and retreated into the bedroom.

Ron and Hermione gawked at him until he slammed the door.

“Listen, I appreciate your concern but leave him alone for a couple of days to calm down.”

Hermione sighed and nodded. “We would never imply that...”

“Enough!” Severus said sharply. “Please, give both of us a little time.”

Nodding Hermione dragged her husband to the fireplace and disappeared into the floo network. Turning to the bedroom Severus warded the fireplace against intrusions and carefully opened the door to his bedroom. Harry stood at the window facing the garden his shoulders stiff.

Advancing Severus embraced him from his back and tenderly nibbled on his neck. Harry's posture fell and he melted into the warmth of his lover. They stood like that for a while until Severus spun the younger wizard around and pressed him against the window glass.

“I am so tired of explaining myself,” Harry whispered harshly.

“Then don't,” Severus said and raised one brow. “I will never expect you to explain your emotions or your intentions.”

“And still you don't believe me when I say I love you.”

Trailing both of his hands down Harry's back Severus touched his forehead against Harry's in an intimate gesture.

“I just came to believe there is not much to love about me. Especially from a person as lovely as you. And the thought that I could lose you one day is unbearable to such an extent that I dare not believe it in the first place.”

A trail of tears trailed down Harry's cheek and tenderly Severus brushed it away with one finger. Harry exhaled audibly.

“If you could just see yourself from my point of view, you would understand that I am more afraid that you wake up one day and realize how ordinary I am. The thought that Renee could force you to marry him and that he carries your child when I desperately want to be the only one, is killing me inside.”

“I love you,” Severus said and descended onto Harry's mouth for a long kiss that made Harry stagger and if it had not been for Severus' strong arms steadying him he would have dropped to the ground.

“Can you please repeat that all night with that sexy voice of yours?” Harry asked.

“But then I would get no sleep at all,” Severus replied and gently pressed a chaste kiss on Harry's hair. “What do you think about retiring for some sleep and face a new day tomorrow?”

“Together?” Harry sounded hopeful.

“Together.”


Okay, that was a bit cheesy but considering what is looming ahead I thought it would be nice to give them a sweet moment. I wonder who that woman was (hint hint- you know her) and what will happen next. Is that bastard Renee able to force sexy Severus into a marriage or will somebody come to the rescue? One more chapter to go and you will know. Tell me what you think!
