Sooner or Later
~
“Sooner or later it has to happen, Harry.”
Dragging his attention from Snape, Harry blinked at Hermione. “Hm?”
She rolled her eyes. “It’s obvious you’re smitten. Just ask him out and be done.”
Harry sighed, fondling a sausage. “He’s not interested in me.”
“He stares at you, too, you know.” Hermione smirked as Harry’s head popped up. “Trust me. I think he’d welcome a date with you. And then maybe you stop drooling from afar.”
“I don’t drool!”
“You know what I mean.” Hermione shrugged. “Or I can speak to him...”
“No!” Harry rose hurriedly. “I’ll do it.”
“Good luck.”

“You’re staring again.”
Severus winced, dragging his eyes from their surreptitious contemplation of Potter. “Excuse me?”
Minerva sighed. “Honestly, Severus, Harry looks at you, too. Quite often. He’s clearly interested. Just ask him out.”
“Utterly ridiculous!” Severus huffed.
“He’ll find how you feel out sooner or later, if he doesn’t already know.”
Severus sagged. “You think he suspects?”
Minerva smiled. “I believe Hermione suspects. How long do you think she’ll go without saying something to him? Shouldn’t this come from you?”
Severus glared at her. “Damn you.” He stood. “Meddling busybodies,” he muttered, moving toward Potter.
Minerva laughed. “You’re welcome.”
~
They met face to face behind the head table, both men clearly wary. “Professor Potter.”
“Professor Snape.”
“If you have a moment, I’ve something to discuss with you.”
Potter inclined his head. “Of course.”
Snape gestured towards the door. “The matter is rather...private. Are my quarters acceptable?”
“Certainly.” Potter smiled faintly. “Lead on.”
After they’d both left, Hermione moved her seat next to Minerva. “I hope they don’t fight.”
Minerva smiled. “Unfortunately, there are no guarantees. As grown men, sooner or later they had to work out their relationship.”
Hermione sighed. “I only hope they don’t hurt each other.”
~
Harry entered Severus’ quarters and was promptly shoved against the door, melting as Severus pressed close. The kiss was searing and, moaning, Harry fisted Severus’ robes, dragging him closer.
When they parted, both were panting. “Sadist,” Severus muttered, nibbling along Harry’s jaw. “When you began fondling that sausage, it was all I could do not to throw you onto the table and take you right there.”
Harry laughed softly. “We could go back,” he offered, gasping as Severus hit a sensitive spot. “They’ll find out we’re together sooner or later.”
Severus growled, dragging him to the floor. “Later. Much later.”
