The Eagle Dared


The day was warm and sunny; a perfect day for a bonding ceremony.

Severus Snape and Harry Potter stood before the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry reciting their vows. Ronald Weasley, Harry's best friend, stood with him, whereas Minerva McGonagall, Herbology Professor, stood with his love, Severus. All of their other friends were there as well. Harry and Severus looked at each other with absolute love and understanding as Headmaster Riddle said the words.

Tom Riddle had been the headmaster since Albus Dumbledore's death ten years ago. Before that, he taught Defense Against the Dark Arts for 30 years. That position was now held by Severus. Harry has been teaching potions for a year, after spending only two years obtaining his degree.

Ron married another of Harry's friends Hermione Granger a little over a year ago. In true Weasley form, they are already expecting their first child.
The Minister of Magic couldn't be more thrilled. She has waited through five children to have a grandchild.

Everything about the day was perfect, except for the threat of the most ruthless, terrifying, muggle hating, evil bastard ever known; Sirius Black, and his followers, the Nubies.

A prophecy made a hundred years before stated that: The Dark Star will rise. Good and Evil will battle. War will end in a grim fourth decade. Should the chosen one fight, the eagle will defeat death. The defeater will be born bearing the mark of majesty posteriorly. Rightly so.

Everyone took this to mean that there was someone out there with a specific birthmark on their right ass cheek. Since the seer was a Muggle, Albus Dumbledore interpreted the 'mark of majesty' to mean the birthmark was in the form of an eagle, the most majestic of all muggle birds.

So, in short, they were looking for a person with an eagle birthmark on their right ass cheek. No one has yet come forward with such a mark.

With finishing their vows, Harry and Severus then exchanged rings. They completed the ceremony with a searing kiss. Both anxious for the wedding night to come.

Harry being the potions teacher and himself the Defense teacher, the two had slowly grown to love each other. Severus had decided they should not to take the final step in their intimacy until they were married. If he was nothing else, Severus Snape was a stickler to the rules. Both had shown exemplary self control in that matter. They used this time together to get to know one another and fall even deeper in love.

All the guests were whooping and hollering as they celebrated the best thing to happen to their friends. Everyone had a good time at the reception helping each other forget about their sorrows. But, in the back of everyone's mind was Sirius Black and his Nubies, so called for the god Anubis whose form was that of a dog. An animal Sirius Black could turn into at will.

The newly-weds planned to go skiing for their honeymoon. Harry couldn't wait to get his new husband around a warm fire after being in the cold all day. A nice rum toddy and a warm lover were all he needed to keep him occupied. But first, tonight.

"Take care, My boys," said Tom.

"Don't worry, we will. And now, it's time to go." was Harry's reply.

Harry and Severus hugged and kissed all their friends and promised to send an owl. HA!

As they apparated to the ski lodge, Harry had the lovely thought of giving Severus a full body rub down. No sooner had they entered the room, and Harry had Severus naked and lying on the floor (he didn't want to wait to get to the bed). Harry waved his hand and a bottle of strawberry flavored oil appeared.

Harry started at Severus' neck and shoulders and worked his way downward rubbing warm oil all over his husband's body. When he reached Severus' cock and balls, not only was he ready, as his large erection stood straight up, Harry was also. Harry figured that since Severus was already all oiled, including his tight ass, he would take full advantage of it. Harry slowly kissed his mate, their tongues battling with no one winning, as he prepared Severus for entrance.

After their wonderful lovemaking and finally, thoroughly exploring one another's bodies, they lay in each other's arms. The two were talking about love and other nonsense.

"Harry, why haven't you told anyone that you are the chosen one?" Severus finally asked. He had noticed the birthmark during their previous activities, but wasn't about to stop.

"I don't want to be famous. And, I'm scared of what will happen." Harry told his new husband.

"Don't worry. No matter what happens, I will stand by you. You can trust me to keep this our secret." Severus replied.

Harry was raised by Muggles who had no idea what he was until his eleventh birthday, when his Hogwarts letter came. Up until that time, Harry went to muggle schools and had muggle friends.
His Uncle Skippy and Aunt Gertrude were the greatest. They included Harry in all of their activities. Being a childless couple, the Martins felt that Harry was THEIR child. The one they were unable to have.

Harry had come to them as a baby when his parents were killed by that dog, Sirius. He was in love with Jeffery, Harry's father. When Jeffery wouldn't leave his wife, Rose, Sirius lost it and killed them both.

The newlyweds were skiing by day and loving at night. It didn't matter who topped with them as they both enjoyed all positions. The snow was wonderful and had them snowed in. That made the loving between them all the better. Some days, they didn't even leave the bed.

Soon the time came when the honeymoon was over (literally not figuratively), and it was time to go home and back to work.

The only problem: Would Severus tell Harry's secret, or not?
