Chapter Seven

Harry sat on the window sill, peering out at the grounds. He had locked himself in the boy\'s Gryffindor dorm, because of the note he had recieved. He heard a faint knock, and waved his hand casually. The door swung open, Ron and Hermione standing there.

\"Y\'all right mate?\" Ron asked, as the two walked beside Harry. Harry thrust the note into Ron\'s hands, and Hermione hovered to read it with her boyfriend. They both gasped in unison, and looked at Harry.


\"What?! Oh Harry you have to go to Dumbledore! He\'ll find out who did this!\"


\"It was probably Malfoy, the slimeball,\" Ron muttered. Harry\'s heart stopped. He had been having the same thought. \"Did you tell Snape?\"


Harry shook his head as he leaned his forehead on the glass of the window. He hated being in this kind of situation.


\"Maybe you should Harry. He is a part of this too,\" Hermione stated. Harry nodded and heaved himself up, and began dragging himself to the dungeons. \"Harry, do you want us to come with you?\"


\"No. Thanks.\"

Severus held the crying boy in his arms, the note was grasped in his shaking hands.


\"I don\'t know what to do Sev!\" Harry bawled, letting the tears go. Why he had to be so emotional, he would never know. He never cried like this before.


\"Dumbledore might have an idea. Always does.\" Severus said, letting the boy crawl out of his lap. Harry wiped his glasses, and stared blankly at his lover. Severus shook his head. \"You are quite stupid sometimes Harry.\"


\"Am not!!\"


\"Do not stress yourself out. I\'ll speak to Dumbledore about this. \" Severus planted a small kiss on Harry\'s forehead, and left his chambers. Harry sat dumbly at Severus\' desk, then went into the bedroom and climbed on top of the large bed. Curling into the soft velvet pillows, he was about to try and sleep when he heard a laugh.


\"So it is true, Potter.\"


Harry bolted up and saw Malfoy standing at the edge of the bed, smiling wickedly. Harry\'s blood boiled as he saw the boy come and sit on the bed with him. \"I always knew Severus and you had something together. Who knew it would end up like this,\" Malfoy gently poked Harry\'s stomach, and Harry slapped his hand away.


\"What the hell do you want, Malfoy?\"


\"Well, if you had asked me this last year, I would of said to have you dead. But . . . since I am no longer a Death Eater, I have other plans for you and my . . . mentor.\"


\"Stop talking in riddles Malfoy or else I\'ll curse you right into Dumbledore\'s office,\"


\"OoOoh, I\'m SO scared Potter!\" Malfoy mocked, as he came closer in contact with Harry\'s face. \"The one thing that I want - is you.\"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Severus walked away from Dumbledore\'s office. The man wasn\'t there, and Severus was not willing to talk to any other staff member about this dilemma. As he was about to open his door, he heard talking in the bedroom.


\"Me?\" Harry squeaked.


\"You.\" Severus heard Malfoy\'s icy sneer blow over him. The bastard. \"I\'ve always wanted to know what it would be like with the boy who lived. Snape likes shagging you - you must be good,\"


Severus slammed the door open, and saw Harry flinch. Malfoy merely stared happily at him. \"Ah. Speak of the devil.\"


\"Mr. Malfoy, would you care to tell me why you are sitting in my chambers discussing matters that have nothing to do with you?!\"


\"They have everything to do with me Professor. For if you do not do as I say, the entire school shall know of your secret affair with this particular student,\" Malfoy grinned. Severus did as well.


\"Oh really, Mr. Malfoy? There is such thing as a memory charm.\"


\"I know that sir. But do you really think you\'d be able to perform it on everyone in the school before they owl all their relatives?\" Malfoy gave another evil grin as he turned to Harry again and stroked his face lovingly. \"No one has to know about this, if you two do what I say,\"


\"Severus, get Dumbledore!\"


\"Don\'t even bother with Dumbledore. He is off at the ministry with things to do. I highly doubt you want McGonagall to know about this, hmm?\" Malfoy was obviously enjoying this power over the two lovers. The three sat in silence for what seemed like forever. Malfoy leaned up against Harry, who was trying his best not to vomit all over him.


\"What do you want Malfoy?\" Severus finally asked, admitting defeat. Harry\'s eyes widened - this wasn\'t happening. Malfoy laughed.


\"I want him - and I want you to watch.\"


\"No!\" Harry scrambled off the bed and ran to Severus, who grabbed him gently. \"No, Sev don\'t make him do this, anything else but not this!\"


Severus glared at Malfoy, who was now lounging casually on the bed.


\"Mr. Malfoy. I suggest that you give Mr. Potter and I at least a day or so to discuss these matters.\"


\"Of course,\" Malfoy sniggered, as he got up and grabbed Harry\'s wrist. He swung Harry into his arms and planted a deep kiss on his lips. Harry felt himself being devoured, and tried desperatly to get out of the other\'s boy grip. Severus grabbed Harry from Malfoy. The other boy smiled widely. \"You have until Friday. If I get no answer after then, your little secret won\'t be a secret anymore.\" With one last chuckle, Malfoy strode out the chambers and left the two alone. Harry stared widely at Severus.


\"Oh god Sev! What are we going to do?! We can\'t get Dumble-\" Harry stopped as a smile broke out on his lover\'s face.


\"I have other plans for Mr. Malfoy.\"
