Simply Smitten

~

Harry sat in the back of Penelope’s car, listening as she and Ginny chatted. He smiled. They were clearly smitten with each other.

Sighing, Harry gazed out the window at the simple homes they were passing. He watched a mother walk to a door and call a little boy in from the yard. The boy ran to her and she scooped him up, hugging him.

Harry blinked. Kids. Did Severus want kids? They hadn’t discussed it, but in that moment Harry wanted nothing more than to raise a family with Severus in a house. But was Severus up for that?

~

“…have dinner with me?” asked Penelope once they returned to MACUSA.

“I’d hate to impose,” said Ginny.

“It’d be my pleasure,” Penelope murmured.

Harry edged away. “Right. I’m off—”

“Care to join us?” Penelope asked, eyes locked with Ginny’s.

Harry smiled. “No, thanks. See you tomorrow.” But as he turned to leave, he heard a whispered conversation, then footsteps.

Grabbing his arm, Ginny said, “Wait!”

Harry raised an eyebrow. “What?”

“What’s happening?”

Harry hummed. “I believe you’re simply falling in love.”

“Shut it!” Ginny blushed. “I meant with you!”

Harry grinned. “Relax. Have a nice evening. We’ll catch up tomorrow.”

~

“It was that simple?” Severus sighed. “I didn’t take Ginevra as one to be distracted by a pretty face.”

“Oh, Penelope’s the whole package. Smart, sassy, fun, ambitious, great sense of humour—”

“Such a paragon,” Severus snarked. “I’m surprised you’re not dating someone so…special.”

Harry blinked. “Are you…jealous?”

Severus hummed noncommittally.

“Godric, you are!” Sliding into his lap, Harry looped his arms around his neck. “I’m already dating a brilliant, sassy man, what use would I have for her? Plus, she’s got the wrong bits for me.”

Severus snorted. “There’s that.”

“Ginny deserves someone fabulous, too, Severus.”

“Quite.”

~

“Let’s try it without the potion tonight,” Harry whispered against Severus’ mouth that night in bed.

Severus hummed. “I’m not sure that’s wise.”

“Why not?” Harry wrapped his legs around Severus’ waist. “You’re responding faster to the potion every night. I bet one of these days you won’t even need it.”

“Impotence doesn’t simply…stop,” Severus replied.

Harry bit his lip.

“What is it?” Severus asked, eyeing him.

“Could it be related to magic?” Harry asked. “I mean ever since you’ve been using your magic—”

Severus’ eyes went wide. “I hadn’t considered that.”

Harry smiled. “So shall we?”

“Very well.”

~

“Harry. Enough.”

Pulling off Severus’ cock, Harry sighed. “I was wrong. Sorry.”

“Sorry?” Reaching down, Severus hauled him close. “Don’t be. It was a good thought.”

“But it didn’t work,” Harry said. “I got your hopes up and then—”

Severus kissed Harry, who moaned as their tongues entwined. “Do I seem upset?” he asked.

“No.” Harry nuzzled his jaw. “Where’s the potion? I’ll apply it—”

Severus rolled Harry beneath him. “That’s not necessary. After all, we’ve a simply lovely erection right here.”

“What are you—? Oh!”

“I thought I’d ride you tonight,” Severus murmured, positioning himself. “That all right?”

“Definitely!”

~

“You’re early,” Penelope said the following day when Harry arrived at MACUSA.

“Only by five minutes.”

Penelope yawned. “Guess I’m just tired.”

“Late night?”

Penelope raised an eyebrow. “What are you asking, Auror?”

Laughing, Harry held up his hands. “Simply assessing my mentor’s mental state.”

Penelope grinned. “It’s good. Very good.”

“Good.”

“What’s good?” asked Ginny, walking up to them.

“Your evening, apparently,” Harry murmured, but Ginny wasn’t looking at him.

“Uh huh,” she said, smiling at Penelope.

Harry sighed. It’d be another long day if he had to watch them stare at each other. “Patrol?”

Penelope blinked. “Right. Patrol.”

~

Once they finished patrolling, Ginny murmured something to Penelope, who nodded. Turning to Harry, she linked their arms, leading him away. “Right. Let’s talk.”

“No date tonight?” Harry teased.

Ginny huffed, but she was smiling. “Penny and I are meeting later,” she said. “She agreed I needed time to chat with you privately.”

Penny, hm?” Harry grinned.

“Shut it, you.” Ginny blushed. “And stop deflecting! Just spill. Are you seeing someone?”

“Yes.” Harry smiled when she gaped. “What?”

“I didn’t think you’d simply answer. Do I know them?”

Harry shook his head. “Not really.”

“Can I meet them?”

“I’ll…see.”

~

“Again?” Severus sighed. “And are we to Obliviate her again, too?”

Harry clasped Severus’ hands. “I bet she’s okay this time. Sure, she’s Floo-calling her mum regularly, but it’s not the same as living at home.”

Severus pursed his lips. “And if you’re wrong?”

Harry shrugged. “We’re in America. If people get upset, we’ll simply stay here.”

Severus raised an eyebrow, fingers tightening on Harry’s. “You shouldn’t have to give up your country, your home, for me.”

Harry exhaled. “Haven’t you realised yet that my home’s wherever you are?”

Severus, eyes burning, kissed Harry. “Very well,” he murmured. “Invite her.”

Well, I think Ginny's in a better place to understand now but *fingers crossed* regardless. Sorry their experiment didn't work as planned but it sounds like they had an enjoyable evening regardless. *g*

I agree with [personal profile] torino10154, I think Ginny would have matured a bit if she has made it to Auror field training.

Don't give up, Harry, I think may be on to something! :)

Lovely, bb!

The last two lines... are so perfect. I need a hanky right now! And even Severus is affected.
I wonder how he will react to Harry's wish for children.
