Mr Brightside\'s Jealousy

Disclaimer: I don\'t own the Potter-verse or the song, so don\'t sue me.

A/N Hey guys, I know its been a while but this month has been heaven
and hell in one! I graduate from high school in a little over two
weeks, so until then my life will probably be chaos. I know I haven\'t
been good with keeping up with my other fics but you will see updates
with them soon. Just a bit of writers block, lol, well and the whole
studying my arse off for the few exams I haven\'t exempted. Any way, I
love this song! And I wanted to do a quick about it.

A/N 2: Sry it took so long but here is the beta-ed version. Beautifully done by my wonderful beta Zentiis . By the way, it wasn’t my beta’s fault that it was so late, today was just the first chance I had to do it. Ü

Hope you recognize the song, its one of my favorites Ü

I don\'t understand.

…

I DON\'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND!

Harry continued to rant and rave in his head as he walked through the
many paths of the Hogwarts\' gardens.

Harry Potter\'s life had been passing wonderfully lately, almost too
good to be true. During the Yule Holidays of Harry\'s seventh year at
Hogwarts, he finally defeated Voldemort. Who would have ever thought
that all it took to kill the almighty powerful dark lord was with a
muggle weapon. It had happened so quickly, with only the pull of a
trigger, and Voldemort was no more.

After the fall of the dark lord, Harry continued to live his life as a
free man. He finished his schooling passing all of his NEWTS, and then
became an apprentice to Professor Lupin in hopes of becoming the next
Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. After two years of his
apprenticeship, Remus retired and Dumbledore offered Harry the
teaching position.

Harry loved his job of teaching. His life had seemed like it couldn\'t
have gotten more perfect, but there was still something missing.
Something that Harry thought was filled one late night in Severus
Snape\'s quarters with a simple kiss.


Coming out of my cage
And I\'ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss


Of course, a simple kiss began to turn to something much more. With
little hesitation, Severus and Harry began a relationship, a strictly
physical relationship. Meeting as frequently as they could, to fuck
each other senseless, which they did everywhere and anywhere.
Including both of their rooms, the Astronomy Tower, the Infirmary,
Ron\'s flat, Hagrid\'s Hut, the North Tower (( how Harry finally
convinced Severus to bugger him in Trelawny\'s classroom he still did
not know )), Severus\' classroom, the Room of Requirement, both men\'s
office, the Kitchens, the Quidditch Pitch, and last but not least on
top of Minerva McGonagall\'s desk.

It had been going on for months now, but of course all good things had
to come to an end.

Harry had been going to surprise Severus tonight, by sneaking into his
rooms before Severus returned from dinner. He had gotten all of the
\'accessories\' that he had bought in London earlier today shrunk and
safely in his pocket before he headed down to Severus\' rooms under his
invisibility cloak.

Of course, since Harry was skipping dinner to surprise Severus, there
was no way he could have known that Severus himself was skipping
dinner also, but for an entirely different reason.

Harry whispered the password to the portrait, and was greeted by a
worrying sight.

He found the room to be in a state of disaster, lamps turned over,
papers strewn about, and Harry immediately thought the worst. He began
to panic, thinking of who might have come after Severus.

But his thoughts were interrupted by a heated moan.

A moan that he knew all too well.

Maybe they didn\'t take Severus, maybe they had stolen something and
left Severus to bleed to death. Harry had to know what happened, had
to know if Severus was alright. He followed the sound and found
himself at the doorway to Severus\' bedroom, with the door ajar. Harry
peeked his invisible head inside the door and gasped.

Severus was fine, too fine. He was lying on his bed with some chick,
smoking and snogging one another. But no it couldn\'t be, Severus
wouldn\'t cheat on him. Then again, he couldn\'t really cheat on him,
seeing as though they never had said that they couldn\'t see other
people. But it still hurt.

Harry had fled as quickly as he had come, swallowing the bile rising
in the back of his throat.


Now I\'m falling asleep
And she\'s calling a cab
While he\'s having a smoke
And she\'s taking the drag


And here he was, pacing in the gardens, feeling as though he was dead
on his feet. He knew what Severus would have done. He would have
gotten the girl good and drunk before he fucked her six ways from
Sunday, either that or gotten here high as the North Tower.

Harry sat on one of the near benches to try and clear his head. He
tried to think of something, anything but what was going on in that
room right now. He had recognized the girl; she was the new history of
magic teacher. She was older than Harry, and had taken the job when
Professor Binns said that he had experienced enough teaching for one
lifetime, let alone two. His mind began to wander, and he could
picture the two of them as if he were there with them himself.


Now they\'re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it\'s all in my head
But she\'s touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can\'t look
It\'s killing me
And taking control

Harry\'s eyes began to swim, he couldn\'t handle it. He didn\'t
understand. He shouldn\'t give a flying fuck whether or not Severus was
sleeping with someone else, a professor …. An older professor… a
female professor.

It shouldn\'t hurt like this

Harry started his walk back to the castle, mind still on why he was
feeling this way. He felt as if a bubble were lodged in the back of
his throat, and he just couldn\'t swallow it. He shouldn\'t have to deal
with this. His life should be perfect and easy now, he completed his
destiny once and for all. By the time he finally reached the front
door he had tears pricking his eyes.

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullaby
Choking on your alibi
But it\'s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I\'m Mr. Brightside


He hadn\'t thought that he would run into anyone on his way to his
quarters in the dungeons, because it was so close to curfew. He was
passing the Great Hall when Albus Dumbledore walked up to him.

\"Harry my boy, how are you? We didn\'t see you at dinner.\" He said
while approaching him. But upon seeing Harry, he knew immediately that
something was wrong. \"Harry what happened?\" He asked, concerned for
the Professor he felt was a son to him.

\"Ooh, nothing to worry about Headmaster.\" He answered wiping the
unshed tears from his eyes. \"Its windy outside, eyes just got a little
watery. Goodnight Albus.\" He finished, thinking he had escaped the man
he thought of as a father.

He walked passed Albus only to have the man swing an arm around and
pull him into a hug, his tears running freely down his cheeks now.
Harry was clinging so tightly to the headmaster he didn\'t see Severus
watching from an alcove, and he didn\'t feel the headmaster shoo the
worried man away.

\"Harry lets go to my office for a spot of tea, and we can sort this
all out.\" The headmaster suggested, trying to calm the young man
weeping in his arms. Harry nodded quickly and walked with Albus to his
office.

\"Sit Harry.\" He instructed, while summoning a tray of tea and biscuits
from the kitchens. \"What happened that made you so upset?\" He asked,
already having a good idea of what happened. Harry first explained of
the relationship that he had with Severus while Albus nodded, knowing
all of this already. Most of the staff knew of the two professors\'
\'physical\' relationship. Harry then explained why he missed dinner,
leaving out the part about the toys still in his pocket. After he
finished telling what he saw, and how he now felt, the headmaster
stood up.

\"Harry I should to explain something to you two. Stay there while I go
get something.\" He instructed, before leaving through a door in the
back of the office. When he returned with a file, he found that the
young man had fallen asleep in front of his desk. He sighed and then
carried the light man to his quarters next to his office. He
transfigured one of his couches into a bed, and laid him down to
sleep.

Albus gazed down at the boy, chuckling to himself softly, ooh how
wrong Harry was. Albus then headed to bed himself, but not before fire
calling Severus and letting him know where Harry was and that he was
okay.


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


When Harry awoke the next morning he took a moment to realize where he
was before practically running out of the room, he had classes to
teach. Before he could get anywhere he was stopped at the doorway by
the headmaster.

\"Harry, Harry stop. Don\'t worry, I\'ve had your classes covered for the
day. Come join me in my office.\" He explained stopping the boy that he
desperately needed to explain something to.

Once they arrived in his office the two men sat in their respectable
chairs, and the headmaster once again summoned a tray of tea.

\"Harry you should have a look at that.\" He said tossing a file into
Harry\'s lap.

\"It\'s Severus\' file.\" He continued while pouring the tea. \"Take a look
at his latest assignment.\" He explained.

\"Assignment? I thought that Sev had stopped his assignments once the
war was over.\" Harry asked, confused as to why the potions master
would still be doing things for Dumbledore other than teaching.

\"Yes well, he made an exception for this one. Harry we have been
fearing that we have one of the few remaining death eater among us at
school, one of our new professors.\" Harry was shocked by the news.
There were three new professors this year, one was the girl that
Severus had been with last night. One of the others was Professor
Sprout\'s daughter, and the last was one of McGonagall\'s nephews.

\"Severus has been assigned to Miss Jergen, he was supposed to get
close to her so that we could decipher if she was the one we were
looking for. Last night before I met you outside the Great Hall, I had
just finished handing her over to aurors. Severus had found her out.\"
Albus explained, hoping this would help Harry.

The two men sat in silence for a minute, before Albus spoke up.
\"Harry, Severus loves you. He\'s the kind of man who will NOT share his
feelings easily, he\'s been continuing your relationship the way it has
been because he thought it was what you wanted.\" He told Harry.

Harry sat there for a moment, dumbfounded from the news, before he
dashed to the door.

\"Harry where are you going?\" Albus asked, having an idea of where
Harry might be going.

Harry stopped and turned to look at the headmaster, \"I have to go tell
a man that I love him.\" He replied, before flashing the headmaster a
quick smile and fleeing. Mr. Brightside was jealous no more.
