Aunt Mini

Minerva stepped into the headmaster’s office, ‘Severus, Harry never came back to his room last night, do you know where he stayed?’

‘Yes, he stayed in my rooms, it took him a long time to calm down, then we talked. I have tried to tell him it would be better for him to listen to what they have to say, but right now he doesn’t want to see them. You might be able to get him to change his mind. Once he has heard their side on why they did this only then can he make a proper decision.’

‘I will speak with him,’ Minerva stared down at Severus, ‘It’s you isn’t it Severus?’

‘Excuse me, what is me?’

‘Harry, he said he likes dark haired men, with dark eyes.’

‘Yes, we spoke about that as well. Harry wishes us to see each other even with the age difference. You do not have to worry about him Minerva, I will not hurt him, but we are going to see where this might go, but we are going to take it slowly.’

‘He’s old enough to know what he wants and he can take care of himself, I know you would not deliberately hurt Harry. But I need to ask, did you sleep with him Severus?’

Severus stared for a minute before answering, ‘In the actual part of sleeping, yes, if you are talking about sex then no, I told Harry it was too soon.’

‘Aunt Mini,’ Harry blushed as he stepped out from the room at the back.

‘You’re an adult Harry, if Severus is the man you want to see that is your business. Now come join me for breakfast, I wish to speak with you.’

Harry smiled hugely, ‘Thanks aunt Mini,’ Harry looked towards Severus and received a small smile and nod so Harry kissed him, ‘Can we talk more later?’

‘If you wish, I will find you now go eat breakfast since you never ate dinner and drank more than you should have.’

‘Okay, thanks for everything.’

‘You’re welcome.’

Minerva slipped her arm through Harry’s and they walked down through the school together. ‘So you’re okay if Severus and I see each other?’

‘Yes, naturally you can’t bring your relationship into the school once the students have returned, but you’re an adult Harry, it’s your decision.’

‘Thanks, I never realised it was Severus who I kept dreaming about, not until recently. I wonder how Ron and Hermione will take this bit of news?’

‘In their stride like everything else I believe. Harry, they will be returning today, they wish to speak with you and I believe you should listen to what they have to say but I will not try to tell you what to do, that is your decision. But you cannot make the right decision until you hear all the facts.’

‘There is only one fact aunt Mini, they left me, what type of parent would do that, leave a baby. They could have taken me with them, they hid, why couldn’t they hide me?’

‘That is why you need to listen to what they have to say, then make your decision. I am not going to influence your decision in anyway, but I do not agree with what they did, you need to hear it all for yourself. But your father did say that your sister will be starting here this term, she has never been to school, Severus is going to access her later today.’

‘As far as I’m concerned Hermione is my sister.’

‘I like hearing that,’ Hermione smiled then kissed Harry’s check.

‘That’s how I think of you, and Ron as a brother, but you got him out of bed early, what miracle happened for you get him to wake up, a lot of food?’

‘Prat Potter,’ Ron said, ‘We thought if it was alright with Snape we might have a game of quidditch, Charlie, Fred, George, Ginny said they want to play before this place fills with students again.’

‘I’d love a game, do you think Severus would mind aunt Mini?’

‘I do not believe he would mind but you will have to ask him yourself. Let’s have some breakfast while we wait for him to come down.’

‘I’m starving actually, but I’ll sit with these two at the Gryffindor table.’

‘Very well, just remember what I said.’

Harry sighed, ‘Okay, I’ll listen but it won’t make any difference,’ Harry watched his aunt head to the staff table before he sat with his friends at the Gryffindor table.

‘Okay, first, you called Snape by his first name, why?’ Ron asked.

Harry saw Severus walk in, ‘Um, I’ll explain,’ Harry stared at Severus then pointed at his friends, Severus nodded then walked over to Harry who slipped his arms around Severus’ waist.

‘You know you can’t do that when the students return.’

‘I know, but it’s okay with you, for now I mean?’

‘Yes, it’s fine with me,’ Severus slipped his arm around Harry.

‘So that’s the dark eyes you were talking about, professor Snape?’ Hermione asked looking stunned.

‘Yeah, I didn’t know who I kept thinking about, dreaming about, not until recently. But Ron, you don’t look as surprised as I though you would.’

‘Actually, it makes sense, Hermione and I fought a lot, denying our feelings through those fights, you and professor Snape did the same thing, sort of, so suppressed feelings,’ Ron shrugged.

‘Very good Mr. Weasley, Harry and I spoke about that very thing last night. But now we need to eat.’

‘Um, Ron asked if it would be okay for everyone to have a game of quidditch before this place is back to being a school, would that be okay?’

‘I do not have a problem with that, now I should eat before I begin my day’s work,’ Severus bent down and brushed his lips over Harry’s, ‘We’ll talk later.’

‘Okay,’ Harry grinned hugely before sitting down, ‘Hermione hasn’t said much.’

‘You could have warned me Harry.’

‘I didn’t want to say anything until I spoke with Severus. We talked a lot last night, I ever slept in his room.’

‘Harry, that is too soon,’ Hermione said in her scolding prissy voice.

‘We didn’t do anything Hermione, just slept. But to tell the truth, I wanted to, he wouldn’t, he said it was too soon.’

‘It is too soon,’ Hermione said.

Harry grinned at his friend, ‘But this quidditch game,’ Harry pulled some food towards him and started eating, ‘That’s only six people, not really enough for two teams.’

‘Nope, but Lee, Bill, and a few others want to join in. They know this year is going to be difficult, trying to get back into a routine so they want to have a fun day,’ Ron pulled out his old DA coin, ‘George found his, he’s waiting for your answer.’

‘Well you have it, get them here, but tell Charlie I’m taken as of now.’

‘Yes, I do not like anyone touching what belongs to me.’

Harry chuckled and stood, ‘Belongs to you, I like that as I do belong to you?’

‘You do, now I need to work,’ Severus stared into Harry’s green eyes, ‘Oh you are going to cause me some problems aren’t you Harry?’

‘Probably, but you’ll learn to love me for it,’ Harry raised up on his tip toes, kissed Severus who laughed before leaving the great hall but with thoughts on how he was going to control Harry when the students returned.
