Revelation

~

Without Ginny’s stalking, Harry relaxed. He and Snape spent most evenings together, either cooking at his place, or Harry’s.

His improved mood at work didn’t go unnoticed.

“Glad you’re happy, mate,” was all Ron said.

Hermione, however, was more probing. “So,” she said over lunch one day, “are you shagging Snape yet?”

“Hermione!”

“What?” Hermione smiled unrepentantly. “It’s a valid, if fresh, question.”

“Is it our business?” Ron hissed.

“Maybe not.” She smiled. “But considering the way things are going with Harry and Snape, it’ll happen.”

Harry grinned. “Hopefully.”

“If it does, keep it to yourself,” Ron muttered.

“Will do.”

~

With sex on his mind, Harry showed to Snape’s that evening rather distracted.

“Is something wrong?” Snape finally asked.

Harry, picking at his food, looked up. “What? Oh, no.”

Snape raised an eyebrow. “Something’s obviously on your mind. Care to share?”

Harry coughed. “It’s nothing. Just something Hermione mentioned today.”

“Ms Granger’s perceptive. Perhaps if you share your thoughts, I can give you a fresh perspective on your…conundrum.”

Harry felt his face flushing. “It’s…embarrassing.”

“Ah.” Snape looked down at his own plate. “Sex.”

Harry choked. “How—?”

“What else could it be?” Snape sighed. “There’s something you should know.”

~

Harry’s heart sped up. “Do you want to break up with me?” he blurted.

Snape frowned. “Certainly not. I quite enjoy our evenings together.”

“Oh.” Harry exhaled. “Good. Okay.”

Snape hummed. “Sex may be…problematic, however.”

“Why? I want you, presumably you want me—” He paused. “I know this is fresh but…You do want me, right?”

“Definitely.” Snape clasped Harry’s hand. “Inasmuch as I can.”

Harry blinked. “Huh?”

Snape focussed on a spot just behind Harry’s left ear. “You’re aware of my war injuries.”

“Of course.”

“The treatment had…unexpected side effects.”

“Okay.”

Snape lowered his eyes. “I’m impotent.”

~

It took Harry a moment to process Snape’s words. When he did, he tightened his grip on Snape’s fingers. “Merlin,” he whispered. “I’m so—”

“Don’t! Until recently, I though I’d never miss that part of my life. I wasn’t sorry.”

“And now?” Harry whispered.

Snape smiled. “The thought’s crossed my mind that having working bits could prove useful.”

“Okay.” Harry smiled back. “Not to be fresh again, but, do you know they won’t work with me?”

Snape blinked. “Actually, I don’t.”

Harry nodded. “Then let’s deal with that when it comes up.” He froze. “ I mean—”

Snape laughed. “I understand.”

~

To Harry’s surprise, dinner didn’t feel awkward after their discussion. If anything, Snape seemed more relaxed, open.

When Snape saw Harry to the door, Harry said, “I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, but I didn’t want to scare you off—”

Snape smirked. “I have no objections to kissing.”

Harry beamed. “Brilliant.” Clasping Snape’s hands, Harry kissed him. He tasted faintly of fresh ginger and wine. Before he knew it, Harry’d deepened the kiss, exploring thoroughly Snape’s mouth before pulling away.

Snape’s dazed expression was gratifying.

“Goodnight,” Harry whispered. “See you tomorrow.”

Snape hummed. “Looking forward to it.”

~

Snape’s secret being out in the open revealed a new side of him. Far from being cold, he craved touch.

After dinner, they’d curl up together, with Snape embracing Harry, often stroking Harry’s hair as they talked.

And there was kissing, tons of it. Kissing Snape often initiated. It seemed once Harry had broken the barrier, it’d opened the floodgates.

Snape kissed Harry hello and goodbye, and sometimes they even spent hours snogging.

After leaving Snape’s at night, Harry would take a cold shower, but he never told Severus, not wanting to pressure him. But wanking was becoming quite unsatisfying.

I'm glad their relationship is not just physical, however I hope they find a cure for Severus.

This laughing, open, cuddly Severus is very very likeable. :D
Although I have to confess that I didn't see that one coming. But probably Severus will spend every spare minute with researching ways to help/find a remedy for his impotency. Or maybe not? Maybe there is no cure? Hm...
As always, I'll have to be patient and continue reading. ^^
