Chapter 13: The End

Sirius leaned over and effectively placed his entire tongue into Remus' mouth. They both moaned and Harry felt his cheeks burn. As the loved up pair pulled apart, they looked guiltily at Harry and both muttered "sorry."

"Don't mind me" Harry replied and rolled his eyes. He'd come to Sirius and Remus' for dinner to get away from lovey dovey Ron and Hermione, and here he was witnessing his godfather practically having sex at the table… well ok, that was a bit of an exaggeration! The past week had been pretty depressive. He couldn't stop thinking about Severus. After his interview at St Mungos he had half hoped that Severus would be waiting for him, to tell him that he had made a huge mistake and that he wanted to be with him after all. But nobody was there.

"So Harry, there was something you wanted to tell us?" Sirius said, sitting up straight and trying to act seriously. Harry was pulled out of his own little world.

"Oh yeah, you know that interview I had last week, for Healer training? Well I… I got in."

"That's fantastic" Remus said in delight. Sirius stood up from his chair and walked around the table to give Harry a hug.

"James and Lily would be so proud of you" Sirius told his godson affectionately.

"Thanks Sirius" Harry replied, feeling a lump form in his throat. He briefly wondered how life would be if they had never died, but vowed not to dwell on it, it wouldn't do him any good.

"And we're very proud of you too" Remus added and Harry muttered a thanks.

Sirius took his seat again and made a toast to Harry and his new career as a Healer.

"Are you seeing anyone at the moment?" Remus asked casually, as he set his wine glass down on the table.

"No" Harry said sadly and shook his head. "Actually I… I saw Severus last week when I had my Healer interview."

Sirius' eyes immediately met his and for a fleeting moment Harry thought that he was going to shout at him and demand why he was talking to him. But his features softened and he smiled.

"Is that all over for good?" he asked.

"I think so" Harry replied.

"I'm sorry."

"No you're not" Harry said, rolling his eyes and the three of them all laughed.

"Harry, seriously, I am sorry. I know you had very strong feelings for him. But it's his lossm not yours."

"You'll find someone else" Remus told him kindly. "You're only young."

Harry sighed and rubbed his eyes. It was the night before he was due to begin his Healer training. He was excited, but also nervous about all the people that we're bound to be staring at him. And god forbid if anyone asked for his autograph, he'd just die of embarrassment! He, Ron and Hermione were watching a film in the living room, Ron and Hermione curled up together on the sofa, and Harry sat in the armchair.

The doorbell rang and the three of them all looked at each other.

"I'll go" Harry sighed, and reluctantly removed himself from the armchair and headed for the font door. If this was one of those charity types again, he was going to go mad. He opened the door and the sight that welcomed him made him momentarily lose his speech. Standing in the doorway was none other than Severus Snape.

"Severus… what are y-"

But Harry didn't get to finish his sentence. Severus pushed him against the opposite wall and dived in for a passionate kiss. Harry could feel his whole body suddenly heat up and felt his legs begin to turn to jelly. He was being kissed… by Severus… in his own… he suddenly remembered about Ron and Hermione being only feet away and pulled back from the kiss, panting hard.

"What... I-"

"I've been stupid" Severus said simply, lightly stroking Harry's cheek with one of his hands.

"I'm not interested in having a one night stand" Harry said breathlessly.

"Me neither" Severus replied. "I'm in love with you Harry and I want to be with you."

"For always?" Harry choked out. Severus nodded and kissed him again, firmly. "I need you inside me… now."

"It would be my pleasure" Severus smirked and Harry closed the front door and quietly led Severus to his bedroom, thankful that Ron and Hermione hadn't come to investigate who had been at the door. As soon as they were in Harry's bedroom, clothes were flying everywhere and tongues were battling. It took no time at all until they were both fully naked and lying on the bed.

Severus was on top of Harry and pulled the duvet over him, so they were both underneath. He rubbed his erection against Harry whilst maintaining their kiss. Neither of them were being careful about how much noise they made and moaned in pleasure.

Harry pulled away from the kiss and manoeuvred himself so he was lying on his front, not being able to wait a moment longer. He had thought that this would never ever happen again. Severus used his wand to prepare Harry and then pushed all the way in, the breath catching in both his and Harry's mouths.

"Fuck me" Harry managed to whisper, and without wasting a second, Severus was pounding away, fucking Harry as hard and as deep as he physically could. It didn't take long until he could feel his climax rising and he reached around to grab Harry's rock hard cock and stroke it along with his thrusts. Harry groaned in appreciation and it only took a further ten seconds before they were both tipped over the edge.

Collapsing down beside Harry, Severus turned to look at him and was greeted with the biggest smile and rosy cheeks. The sight made his heart melt and he leaned in for a sweet kiss.

"That was… amazing" Harry said, and he bit down on his lower lip adorably. "I'd almost forgot just how much I loved doing… um-"

"It was amazing. It was always amazing. Harry, I'm so sorry about everything that has happened between us. I'll understand if you decide you don't want-"

"Severus!" Harry laughed, hitting him lightly on the arm. "I fully understand why you called things off with us. I suppose if I were in the same situation, I would have done the same thing. You didn't want to get hurt, I know that. But I love you Severus, and no twenty year old bloke with muscles is going to come anywhere near to the way I feel about you… you need to trust me."

"I do."

They leaned in for yet another kiss, but a knock on the door quickly snapped their heads back.

"Harry, we've just ordered a couple of pizzas, do you want some?" Ron called through the door.

"Oh, um, yeah sure. I'll be out in a minute, I'm just-"

"And does Severus want some?" Ron interrupted.

Harry and Severus looked at each other, and then smiled. They could hear the smirk in Ron's voice. He and Hermione were clearly cool with the whole thing.

"That would be great Ron, thank you" Severus shouted out, and they heard Ron's retreating footsteps.

"Do you think they heard… you know?" Harry asked, going bright red.

"Most probably" Severus replied and kissed Harry on the tip of his nose.

"God, I've never been so embarrassed in my entire life. How can I face them?"

"Don't be embarrassed. I'm sure you've heard them two at it."

"Yeah, too many times" Harry replied grimacing at the memories of hearing his two best friends in the throes of passion. Hermione was quite a screamer!

"Well there you are… and um… well, maybe if things go well between us, we could…"

"What?" Harry prompted.

"We could get our own place… some time, I mean, not now, not if you don't, I mean-"

"I'd love that" Harry said smiling. "I start Healer training tomorrow."

"That's brilliant; you'll make an excellent Healer. We should go out for dinner and celebrate tomorrow night, on me."

"Ok" Harry replied, already looking forward to it, more so than starting his training.

"Are you nervous?" Harry asked Severus as they walked up to Sirius and Remus' house, hand in hand.

"I don't get nervous Potter" Severus replied, squeezing Harry's hand a little tighter than was necessary. Harry smiled to himself in the darkness, knowing that Severus was nervous, despite what he said.

They had been back together for a month and everything was going swimmingly. They spent their entire weekends together and even met up one or two evenings a week. Harry was falling more and more in love with the man and hadn't thought that was possible. Also, on top of that, the sex was fantastic and they couldn't get enough of each other, every time they met they inevitably ended up in bed. They had even already started discussing when they would find their own home together. Harry couldn't wait to live with Severus.

But tonight they were having dinner with Sirius and Remus for the first time. Harry was a little worried, but Sirius had genuinely seemed ok with the situation when Harry had told him the week before that they were back together.

They reached the door and Harry rang the doorbell. They didn't have to wait long before Sirius appeared, beaming at the two of them. He hugged Harry and offered his hand to Severus, who gratefully accepted it and nodded his head.

They walked into the house and through into the dining room and took their seats. Sirius excused himself and Harry whispered "so far, so good" to Severus, who smirked in response.

A minute later both Sirius and Remus appeared, carrying dishes.

"Hi Harry" Remus said smiling. "And Severus, nice to see you."

"You too Lupin" Severus replied as the starters were placed on the table and Sirius and Remus took their seats opposite.

"How's training been going?" Remus asked Harry as they all tucked in to their bread and soup.

"Good, I'm really enjoying it. More than I thought I would. And Severus being a Potions Master is making things a lot easier as well, he's able to help me with the medicine side of things."

"I always wondered why you never became a Healer" Sirius directed at Severus, not unkindly. Severus swallowed his food before answering.

"I don't have the patience for it. I barely have enough patience for a classroom of teenagers, let alone "sick" people."

Sirius and Remus laughed and Harry smiled appreciatively at them. He knew they all wanted to make him happy and he was glad that they were all able to sit in the same room without a fight breaking out. Harry had a feeling his life was going to be a very happy adventure from now on.

"I'm glad that's over with" Severus said as he and Harry walked away from Sirius and Remus' home.

"Didn't you enjoy yourself?" Harry asked, stopping and looking up at Severus.

"I did enjoy myself in the end. But it's just nice to get that initial informal meeting over with."

"I have to admit, things went better than I thought they would" Harry said.

"Perhaps Sirius' feelings for Remus has made him realise that he can't play with other people's love lives. He can see how much we love each other and whether he approves of me or not, it's your life I affect, not his."

"Well if he even so much as says one horrible word to you at Hogwarts, you have my permission to hex him."

"I'll take your word for that" Severus smiled. "But Sirius does seem genuinely ok with us."

"I told you he'd be fine" Harry said happily, looking up into the eyes of his boyfriend, who was wearing a very amused smirk.

"Well, we'll see" Severus replied, wrapping his arms around Harry and kissing him hungrily.

"Take me home and fuck me" Harry pleaded.

"How could I refuse such an offer" Severus answered seductively.
