Teddy Bear

When Harry returned, Lucius and Draco were
both wide awake and they both fixed him
with a glare as soon as he walked in. He
stopped, confused as to why they would be
glaring at him.


\"Where have you been?\" Lucius demanded.


\"I went for a walk.\" Harry replied slowly.


\"It\'s dangerous for you to go out! You can\'t
control your pheromones yet! You could
cause someone to go mad with lust!\" Draco
cried.


\"No one else is in the castle besides
Dumbledore, and he doesn\'t come down into
the dungeons.\" Harry replied. This knowledge
dawned upon the two of them.


\"Well, write a note next time.\" Lucius said
in a rather annoyed voice. Harry held the
teddy bear behind his back and whispered a
soft spell to transport the bear to his room.


He didn\'t want anyone to know why Severus
did what he did. It was something personal
and only between the two of them. It was
something that he didn\'t want anyone else to
know about.


\"Do you think that we could go visit the
Weasleys? I miss Ron and Hermione and the
rest of the Weasley family. I see them at
least once a summer. Please?\" Harry asked.
His true reason for wanting to go was to see
Severus, but he felt a little guilty about not
wanting to see Ron and Hermione. They were
his best friends after all and he should want to
see them.


\"Perhaps.\" Lucius said, nodding. He could
understand Harry wanting to go see his friends.
After all, he had been locked up all summer
learning nothing but how to defeat Voldemort
and then how to control his veela powers. Harry
deserved a break to just go and visit his friends,
and besides, it would give him a chance to check
up on Severus. \"Draco used to take a potion that
would help him control his pheromones while
he went out with me into the public.\" Lucius said
thoughtfully. Draco wrinkled his nose slightly, but
didn\'t say anything.


\"I\'ll ask Dumbledore.\" Lucius finally decided. \"I
want to know if he thinks it\'s safe or not. One of
the reasons why we locked you up was because
of the remaining death eaters.\" Lucius explained.
Harry nodded, not really paying attention to what
he said.


\"Why don\'t we eat dinner now?\" Draco broke in.
Harry grinned as they all sat down to eat.

~@^@~


Harry felt all happy. Dumbledore had come down,
said that they were going over to the Weasleys for
a week, and had Harry take a potion that would
block all of Harry\'s pheromones from releasing.
Only if you made direct contact with Harry and
stayed in direct contact with him for a while, then
the attraction would affect the person. And he
gave Harry a supply of potions for the entire
week.


They had all aparated to the house. The entire
Weasley family, plus a seventeen year old
Severus and Hermione, were standing in front
of the house, waiting for them to arrive.


As soon as Harry saw Severus, his breath hitched,
his heart raced and his palms felt a little sweaty.
His concentration was broken by Molly Weasley
pulling him into a bone crunching hug.


\"Oh Harry! It\'s so good to see you out and
about!\" Molly said, and began clucking over
his long hair and wings. Arthur pumped his
hand as soon as Molly was out of the way.


\"Hello Harry! You did wonderfully during the
fight!\" Arthur said with a grin. The twins
shoved their father out of the way and grinned
broadly at Harry.


\"Mum found out,\" Fred said.


\"About you helping us out.\" George continued.


\"And quite surprisingly,\" Fred.


\"She didn\'t get mad.\" George.


\"She merely said,\" Fred.


\"Bless his heart,\" Geroge.


\"He always thinks of,\" Fred.


\"Everyone else but,\" George.


\"Of himself. He\'s such,\" Fred.


\"A sweetheart.\" George finished with a sigh.
Ron shoved him out of the way. He grinned
at Harry.


\"Hey mate. Hope you didn\'t suffer too much
having to live with the Malfoys.\" He grinned.
Harry shrugged.


\"Eh, it was alright.\" He replied, casting a sly
glance over at the Malfoys whom Molly was
fussing over and Arthur and Lucius were
having a tentive conversation.


\"Harry!\" Suddnly in the corner of his eye,
Harry saw a large brown, fuzzy thing attach
itself to him. It took him a minute to realize
that it was Hermione. Harry, remembering
Dumbledore warning him not to make contact
with anyone as much as he could manage,
peeled Hermione off of him.


\"Hey Hermione. Umm, sorry.\" He added, when
he saw the hurt look on her face. \"If you
continue contact with me, my pheromones
will begin to affect you.\" He explained.
Hermione blushed, remembering that he was
a veela.


\"Oh, sorry,\" She said, then she smiled
widely. \"It\'s great to see you again.\" She
announced. Harry nodded.


\"You must be Harry.\" A voice caused Harry to
turned around. He was looking straight into
obsidian eyes. Severus.


\"Hello Severus.\" Harry said, studying Severus.
He looked so tired. Harry, carrying a backpack,
brought it around and put it on the ground,
opening it. Everyone was watching, trying to
see what Harry was going to do to his once
most hated potions teacher.


Harry opened his back pack and pulled out a
teddy bear. Severus\'s eyes widened and Harry
handed him the bear, smiling.


\"Teddy!\" Severus cried, and siezed the teddy
bear from Harry, hugging it tightly to his
chest. Harry smiled, unknowingly with love,
compassion, and care in his eyes. \"Where
did you find him?\" Severus asked, still hugging
the bear. Harry thought quick.


\"I stole him a while back as a prank. I\'m
sorry. It was a childish thing for me to do.\"
Harry mumbled. Suddenly, Severus was
hugging him and Harry felt like he had
just gone to heaven.


\"Thank you for giving him back.\" Severus
whispered. Harry didn\'t move to remove
Severus off of his body like he had
Hermione, but then again, since Severus
was his mate, then it wouldn\'t be so bad
if his pheromones attracted Severus.


Suddenly, he came crashing back down
to earth when Lucius and Draco seperated
the two of them. Harry\'s eyes then glazed
over again.


He remembered seeing a dark, tall man,
and suddenly, he knew that he loved this
man far more than he loved anything else
and ever would.


He ran and attached himself to the man,
declaring to the world that the man belonged
to him. Then he remembered being carried
and then he came back to the world around
him.


He was inside the house, and Arthur was
trying to wake him. He looked relieved when
Harry opened his eyes. Harry rubbed his
head.


\"What the hell was that?\" Ron demanded.


\"I was remembering.\" Harry said softly and
he heard Molly shushing everyone in the
room. \"Who my mate was. I met him when
I was a baby.\" Harry said with a smile. Then
he frowned and then a mental image of the
bear appeared and then Harry looked upset.


\"What\'s wrong Harry?\" Lucius asked.


\"Nothing. Nothing at all.\" Harry looked up,
smiling. Everyone in the room glanced at
each other nervously. This was how Harry
had acted before he had a mental break
down almost halfway into the school year.


~@^@~


That night at dinner, Harry picked at his
food and Molly fussed over him, forcing
him to eat two plates of food. Lucius and
Draco were appalled at how the Weasleys
ate, and the Weasleys were appalled at
how the Malfoys ate. The Weasleys
apparantly ate like savages and the
Malfoys ate like no one else was going to
eat the rest of the food. The Malfoys only
got two plates of food apiece before all of
the food was gone.


Harry was sharing a room with Severus on
the second floor. Apparently, Bill had
married Fluer and they were going to be
having a baby, so Molly and Arthuer
added two more rooms, and they added
another room for Severus. Draco and
Lucius were bunking in the nursery. They
claimed that they didn\'t mind, but Harry
knew better.


After dinner, Harry claimed that he was
tired and went to bed. He was actually
very tired, and went straight to sleep
as soon as his head hit the pillow.


But he woke up in the middle of the
night with Severus clinging onto him
for dear life, and Teddy was on Severus\'s
bed, abandoned.


Harry smiled and wrapped his arms
around Severus. Severus snuggled
against him and Harry looked down
to see two obsidian eyes gazing up
at him.


\"You know, I remember.\" He said
softly. Harry frowned slightly. \"The
memory part of the potion didn\'t
work.\" Severus informed him. Harry
smiled.


\"Good, I can yell at you now.\" Harry
growled. \"But first, how did you know
that I knew about the potion?\"


\"That is rather obvious, isn\'t it?\"
Severus demanded. \"You have the
damnable bear, so it\'s quite obvious
that you\'ve been in my chambers
and you read the journal, knowing
all about the bear.\" Severus explained
to Harry. Harry smiled.


\"Mmmm, I think I\'ll yell at you
tomorrow morning. I\'m too
comfortable like this.\" Harry
said softly, and kissed Severus
on the top of his head.


\"I won\'t remember in the morning.\"
Severus informed him. Harry blinked
at him, confused. \"The memory part
of the potion stops working after I\'ve
been awake for fifteen hours.\" He
explained, \"But begins to work again
as soon as I wake up again.\" Harry
nodded.


\"That\'s weird, but I\'m going to yell
at you tomorrow.\" Harry informed him.
\"I\'m too tired, and too comfortable to
yell at you.\" Harry yawned and then
cuddling down so he and Severus
could look each other in the eye without
one looking up. \"Lets go to sleep.\"
Harry yawned. Severus smiled and kissed
Harry gently on the lips.


\"I love you Harry.\"


\"I love you Sev.\" Harry replied, his
eyes fluttering shut and falling
asleep.
