Walk away and I stumble

Harry Potter was no longer the savour of the wizarding world mainly because he had stepped down and gone into hiding, no one knew where, well, almost no one. Harry couldn't afford to buy his own place, not financially of course because he almost had more money than the Malfoy's but because that meant he could be traced, something he wanted to avoid.

So Harry had sought refugee in the one place where he trusted that he would be safe from the prying eyes of the wizarding world. He had escaped to Snape Manor, it wasn't as big as Malfoy Manor but it suited the two of them very comfortably.

Severus liked his own space and his privacy, Harry honoured that and also kept himself to himself. There was a large library at the manor which kept Harry occupied pretty much all the time while Severus stuck to his potions lab.

However the two had been fighting their true feelings for a while, it was one evening when they there both sat in the sitting room the fire blazing in the hearth, Harry was on the sofa reading as always and Severus was marking essays.

Severus had decided to come home for the Christmas holidays and keep Harry company even though he hadn't asked this off the older man. Harry however was glad of this and more than welcomed the opportunity to spend some time with the older wizard.

The fire was warming Harry in a pleasant way, the sound of the crackling of the wood was almost lulling him to sleep, his eye lids were drooping. The book in his hand fell to the ground with a thud and Harry awoke with a start.

"You dozed off" Severus commented, "I suggest that you go to bed."

Harry however was not paying attention he grumbled something unintelligible and fell back to sleep, Severus just sighed and placed his quill down, he too was tired and would finish the essays tomorrow. He got up and headed over to the sofa where he picked Harry up bridal style and carried him up the stairs.

Harry's room was only down the hall from his own, the rest of the manor was shut off, the two of them didn't need the extra space, the dinning room was also closed off and they ate in the kitchen, the formalities of eating in the dinning room.

Severus carried Harry into his room and lay him down on his bed, pulling the covers over him, Severus had to admit that the teenager did look adorable and not to mention vulnerable in his sleep worthy state.

Severus sighed as he tucked the blanket around Harry and conjured up a hot water bottle because despite the fire the room was a little chilly. Severus sighed and turned to leave, no voice called him back, no whispered sigh escaped Harry's lips only an ungraceful snore.

He shut the door with a soft click before heading to his room where he changed for bed himself; however he didn't quite manage to reach his bed. One of his three house elves appeared in front of him with a soft pop.

"I am sorry to disturb you sir but you has a visitor sir." The house elf squeaked, Severus sighed.

"Very well Missy, tell them I will be down shortly." The house elf nodded, bowed a ridiculously low bow and then disappeared with another soft pop.

Severus pulled on his black cotton dressing gown over black silk pyjamas and slipped his feet into fluffy black slippers, before he left he looked back longingly at his bed, it looked warm and inviting.

Downstairs Albus Dumbledore was waiting in the entrance hall, Severus at once thought of Harry asleep upstairs but quickly tried to forget, he couldn't let Dumbledore find out about the whereabouts of the boy.

"Albus, what can I do for you this evening, would you like to have some tea?" Severus offered being polite, he noted that the headmaster's cloak was still hung around his shoulders.

"No, I cannot stay long but have a job for you to fulfil, I am sorry that I have visited you so late but Sybil has just made another prophecy involving Harry." As Albus said this Severus once again thought of the boy upstairs and wondered why the fates couldn't just leave him alone. "She has predicted that Harry will soon be with-child that is of course if he is not so already. I need you to find him."

"Anything else that you require of me Albus?"

"No, that is it, I will make sure that you will not have to worry about any other assignments I may have given you to complete."

With a sweep of his cloak Dumbledore left Snape Manor, Severus shut and locked the door behind him before heading back up to bed. On his way he checked in on Harry again but he was still fast asleep tucked up in bed.

He couldn't help but think that Dumbledore knew more about Harry's whereabouts then he was letting on but he pushed all those thoughts to the back of his mind and prepared for bed again.

However three hours later Severus was awoken by a loud hammering on the front door, he scrambled out of bed and down the hall, Harry too was awake out of bed, wand in hand.

"Wait here Harry, if you hear anyone coming then hide behind the bookshelf." Severus indicated towards the shelving unit to one side of Harry's room.

"Who do you think it is?" Harry asked.

"I think it may be Dumbledore coming to find you, just stay hidden if you want to stay gone." Severus advised Harry nodded and made his way over to the shelf of books, pulled a book and slid behind the opening that appeared.

Severus then hurried downstairs where a house elf was pulling open the door to reveal a group of people huddled in their cloaks, they were members of the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore in the lead.

"We know you have Harry, Severus, we have to see him."

"I don't know what you are talking about Potter isn't here Albus, do you really think I would house that insufferable brat?"

"Of course you would Severus, because I know about how much you cared for James, but Harry is not his father, he is only a teenager and we need him back at Hogwarts where he belongs."

"Even if I had taken Potter in, which I haven't what on earth makes you think that I would ever feel that way about him, I am old enough to be his father."

"Like that matters, love does not work that way and you know it Severus."

"So now I love the boy, you are delusional Albus, please leave my property."

"Not until we have searched it, Harry must come back to us tonight."

"I am afraid that I cannot allow you to enter here, this is outrageous."

"It's okay Severus, let him in." Harry said from behind him, everyone turned to face the boy who stood before them adorned in a pink t-shirt and grey boxer shorts. "They know about us Sev, we can't hide it any longer." He said giving Snape a knowing look that begged him to play along.

"I thought you wanted to keep it a secret Harry, love." Severus said, the word 'love' rolled off his tongue with concealed distaste, he had never been one for pet names but he did so hate 'Sev'.

"I did honey but Dumbledore here wasn't going to take no for answer, but I have to decline his offer of going back to Hogwarts, we're content here thank you." Harry said as he walked to Severus and linked their hands together.

"Harry, what are you playing at getting involved with him?" Albus asked, Harry just gave him a giddy sort of smile before looking up at Severus adoringly.

"Because I love him Sir" He sighed dramatically, Severus almost laughed at his tone, he actually sounded if he meant it.

"Is this so Severus?"

"Yes Sir and I feel the same, which I think you have known for a long while."

"Yes, well, I never thought that Harry would return the feelings."

"Do you have a problem with us Sir?" Harry asked innocently.

"I do not approve but I do not think that there will be any objections, that is of course if you plan to bond." Dumbledore said his eyes twinkling with mischief.

"Albus that is a personal matter between Harry and myself." Severus replied.

"He hasn't asked me yet Sir." Harry said grinning, he was enjoying putting his professor on the spot like this, he was having far too much fun.

"I suppose I cannot separate the two of you if you are truly serious about this relationship" Dumbledore said through gritted teeth. "I suppose your whereabouts is to remain a secret."

"That would be appreciated; I'm not ready for the world to know yet."

"Very well, I shall let the two of you get back to bed, I am sorry to have disrupted your lives."

"That is quite alright Albus; we understand why you were so concerned."

Just before they closed the door Harry pulled Severus down for a kiss just in case there were any doubts left in any ones mind.

Once Harry and Severus were upstairs and they were sure that the group of Order members were gone Severus rounded on Harry.

"What did you think you were doing?"

"Well it worked did it not?"

"I am not denying that it didn't work but did you even think it through first?"

"Honestly, no I didn't but …"

"You do realise that Albus will expect certain things from the two of us now."

"Of course, but you can't tell me that you didn't enjoy that just a little bit." Harry said cheekily, after four long months of not a whole lot this was a bit much to take in.

So Severus said nothing and Harry remained looking happy, he sauntered forwards and cupped the older mans crotch with his hand, he found that Snape wanted a little more attention than he was letting on.

"Don't" Severus said gruffly stepping backwards from Harry's grasp, Harry looked crest fallen at this and a little embarrassed at his actions.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have" He mumbled, it was barely audible and suddenly his feet were so much more interesting.

"At least we're agreed on that." Severus said, "But that doesn't mean that I don't want to." He added and at once Harry's head snapped upwards to focus on the older man.

"You …"

"Want you?" Harry nodded, "Of course, stupid insufferable brat, look at you, who in their right mind wouldn't?"

"Oh"

"Oh indeed, this is why I say no."

"You loved my father …"

"That I did but as Dumbledore kindly pointed out, you are not your father."

"No, I'm not but that doesn't stop me wanting you."

"I am an old man Harry, you could do so much better than a greasy old potions master, I suggest you go clubbing like other boys your age and find someone, have a good time."

"I don't want to."

"The day you figure out what you do want there will probably be a parade, with trombones and erotic dancers." Severus stated making Harry smile.

"You promise?" Harry said grinning; he had a glint of mischief in his eye that Severus wasn't sure that he liked.

"Promise what?" Severus asked.

"That when I make up my mind there will be erotic dancers," Then after a short pause Harry added, "Or you'll do."

"Harry," Severus said warningly but Harry wasn't paying attention to the older man, instead he was edging forward once more. He suddenly pounced on Severus which knocked them both to the ground; the teen found Severus' lips and claimed them as his own.

Lost in the sensation of Harry's experienced tongue duelling with his own Severus didn't resist, it was pure heaven, all the reasons why they shouldn't be doing this were suddenly non-existent in this one moment of pure bliss.

Harry's hand worked its way under the black silk of Severus' pyjama top and began to caress his left nipple as his other hand worked on undoing the buttons completely while still straddling Severus' hips.

Finally managing to succeed in opening the older man's pyjama shirt Harry began to kiss and suckle his way down Snape's jaw and then down his neck and chest pausing briefly to play with the older mans pink nipples.

His tongue delved into Severus' belly button before the draw string trousers were slowly removed, slid over slender hips to reveal a rather large problem. Harry was astounded at the size of it, he had of course slept with men before, but Seamus, Cedric and Oliver had not been this well endowed.

Without further hesitation Harry took Severus into his mouth, his tongue swirling around the head. Snape was moaning by this stage, his long bony fingers swept through Harry's ebony hair, enjoying the sensation that he was experiencing, that boy sure had a talented tongue.

"Harry …" Severus tried to warn as he neared completion, Harry pulled back and positioned himself so that he was once again straddling the older man, before Snape could say anything Harry was kissing him again. Severus could taste his own pre-cum as he kissed the boy back.

As Harry did this he reached for his wand and muttered a lubricant charm that had come in useful through his last two years at Hogwarts. He coated Severus' erection in the cool substance careful not to tease the man too much.

As he was about to prepare himself, Severus stopped him and began to do it himself, first only a single digit entered him but soon a second one joined that and Harry was moaning with pleasure as the fingers worked.

When they left his entrance Harry made a small noise of protest but the potion masters hands were soon resting on his hips and Harry found something bigger preparing to enter him.

Impatient as ever Harry pushed himself onto Severus' erection gasping as it filled him, it felt so good, then Snape began to buck his hips forward causing Harry to moan louder.

It didn't take either male long before both had climaxed, Harry's seed over Severus' chest, Snape having emptied himself inside of the younger man.

Harry removed himself from Snape's body and lay down beside him, drawing him into a passionate kiss.

"May I request that we move to the bedroom now?" Severus suggested after casting a cleansing charm on himself, Harry just grinned and placed another kiss on Snape's lips.

"If you wanted to go again all you had to do was ask." Harry said cheekily, running his hands down the older mans chest towards his groin.

"Unlike you Harry I am on old man, I doubt I'd be able to 'go again' as you so adequately put it." Came the reply, Harry looked a little disappointed but kept caressing Severus' groin.

There was a low growl that was admitted from Severus' throat as Harry continued with his soft touches. "Insufferable brat" Snape said and Harry actually giggled at that, "Come on, we're going to the bed room, I don't particularly want to tend to carpet burn."

"Your room or mine?" Harry said in his most seductive voice.

"You pick."

"Whatever room is closest."

"Yours it is then."
