Severus sighed. He was attempting to ignore the group of idiots from the Order. Why they were at Hogwarts and not in their own homes he wasn't sure. He sent a glare at Minerva. She gave him an evil smirk. He wondered what she was hiding. She only did that when she knew something he didn't.
"Oh, I can't wait to hear Harry." Idiot #3 spoke from next to her brother, Idiot #2 who was married to Idiot #1.
Honestly, how did those last three make it out of Hogwarts alive? He rolled his eyes.
"I can't either. I heard he is going to debut a new song tonight. I was informed it would be his first love song." Idiot #1 bragged.
"Who told you?" Idiot #2's jealousy reared its head. The boy was made famous because he associated with Harry Potter despite Harry's lack of interest in the group of idiots since Dumbledore's death. Harry hadn't done much with the trio of idiots after Dumbledore's death despite many in the Order wondering why. Surprising the two mutts kept quiet about why. Severus learned the truth when he was forced to give lessons by Dumbledore. After a lot of talking about what he had seen during those lessons, dragging Harry up to Poppy, and getting a complete medical history, things changed between the pair.
No one was aware that the Horcrux hunt was Harry with the two mutts who agreed to meet up with Severus to keep track of what was going on. The trio of idiots was furious that Harry didn't take his so-called best friends along. However, because Harry didn't, the Dark Lord nor did anyone else realize what Harry was truly doing. It saved a lot of lives doing it their way instead of Dumbledore. One big example was Gringotts, Sirius used his family name to get the one in Bellatrix's vault. When Severus had mentioned one being in Gringotts, the trio of idiots had ideas from using one of the dragons to escape or Harry's cloak to sneak into the vault. Severus mentioned it to Harry and the mutts who were thankful Harry went with them instead. Severus could be in the same room as the two mutts and not have any hard feelings now.
"Oh, Ron, relax, I paid the drummer for the information. He would only give me that however, he told me he wasn't going to spy on Harry." Idiot #1 hit her husband on the arm.
"I don't see why we can't get anyone to provide us with information. We are almost family." The head idiot who loved Howlers had to voice her opinion.
"Perhaps because if Harry wanted you to know, he would have told you." Score one for the Hogwarts staff. He was going to owe Filius a few bottles of goblin ale by the end of the night.
"Honestly." Head Idiot looked at Minerva as if to say do something.
"What time is it in NY?" Idiot #3 piped up. "Perhaps we can call him after we listen to the concert?"
"We can't. They are five hours ahead of us. Harry is most likely sleeping right now." Idiot #1 sounded like she read it from a book.
Severus knew exactly where Harry was and it wasn't in New York. The idiot did have one fact right, he was sleeping. He had arrived about an hour before Severus had to leave for the Great Hall. Minerva raised an eyebrow at him, he gave her an answering smirk. Minerva covered her laughter.
The announcer made a special big deal about Harry. Severus thought Harry would be laughing at the way the man was turning him into one of the Beetles. He was also going to have to show Harry's tonight memory as he promised. He was sure the group of idiots would take the song wrong. Harry had already warned him about the song, the pronouns, and who the song was truly for. He hadn't heard the song as of yet. He glanced at the mutts and the twins. They were having a four-way conversation and he was sure it was about getting the three idiots some payback for whatever they said or did tonight. The four had been trying to beat it into the idiots' heads that Harry had no interest in Idiot #3.
The first song that was played was one of Harry's first. Severus loved it and Harry always had it as his opening to any concert he gave. The crowd went wild as normal. He smiled as the song ended and Harry started speaking. "This next song is new." The crowd cheers. "It's for that one special person who has been there for me during one of the toughest times in my life. Here's to you, babe."
The music started.
Hey there, Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But, girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes, you do
Time square can't shine as bright as you
I swear, it's true
Hey there, Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there, Delilah
I know times are gettin' hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there, Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me, you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
And we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah, I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there, Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be makin' history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there, Delilah, here's to you
This one for you
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh whoa, oh
Oh, oh
The song ended and if he was in any place other than the Great Hall, he would be running and waking Harry up right now to show him how much he appreciated the song. "Did you hear that? He must really love me." Idiot #3 gushed.
The staff, students, and most of the Head Table looked at the girl in confusion. "What?" Sybil was always there to spout off what was needed when no one else wanted to voice the truth. "Oh, no dearie, I am afraid that the stars don't see you or Harry together. No, no, he isn't your future. He is not even part of your past. It's best to go back to the one who loves you."
Remus, Sirius, Fred, and George put in their two cents and Severus saw Minerva give him a slight knowing look. Harry must have let her hear the song. He ignored the smirk but almost jumped out of his seat when she tilted her head to the staff entrance. He got up and walked out of the hall. "Tell Harry it was a great song and we will see him in the morning." The twins yelled as he was leaving.
"Yeah, we will bring the coffee," Sirius added.
Severus almost ran from the room as the idiots realized what just happened. Severus grinned a bit as he made his way to his quarters. The idiots wouldn't dare to come down to his quarters but tomorrow might be a different story. He would deal with them then but for now, he had a certain handsome man waiting in his bed and he was going to show him exactly how much he liked the song.
