The Plan
~
Harry gripped Severus’ hand. “What’s he wanted for?”
Hermione sighed. “That’s the puzzling thing. When I tried to see the charges, I was told was they’re classified.”
“Classified?” Severus frowned. “How…odd.”
“I’ve feelers out to see if I can get more information, but I’m afraid I may have raised some suspicions as is.” Hermione frowned. “I’ve already had my boss in here asking why I’m looking into classified cases to which I’m not assigned.”
“Wow.” Harry exhaled. “So what do we do now?”
“I’m literally at wit’s end here.” Hermione’s slow smile made Harry shiver. “But I’ve an idea.”
~
Severus remained silent after Hermione outlined her idea. “It’s…bold,” he finally said. “An idea worthy of a Gryffindor. Slytherins are more…subtle.”
Hermione chuckled. “It could backfire, but at least it would force them to make the charges public.”
Harry hummed. “You think the Wizengamot cares about public opinion?”
“I think the Wizengamot are first and foremost politicians,” Hermione said. “So yes, they do.”
Severus exhaled. “It forces me to literally bare my soul to the world.”
Hermione’s expression softened. “I understand, but can you think of another option?”
Severus shook his head.
“I’ll be in touch,” she said.
~
Severus was quiet after Hermione’s Floo call. “You okay?” Harry whispered, hugging him.
Sagging, Severus closed his eyes. “Honestly? I’m literally fighting the urge to run.”
A jolt of fear rushed through Harry. “But…they found you this time, why not next time?”
“Next time I’d avoid using any magic.”
“You think that’s how they found you?”
“I don’t know, but I can’t think of another way.”
Harry kissed Severus’ cheek. “I’m sorry. This is all my fault. If I hadn’t—”
“It’s not your fault.” Severus clung. “You’re literally the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I regret nothing.”
~
When the Floo flared hours later, Harry answered. “Luna!”
“Hello, Harry. Someone there needs to give an interview?”
Severus knelt beside Harry. “Ms Lovegood.”
“Hello, Professor.” Luna tilted her head. “You look good. Are you taking a youth potion?”
Severus raised an eyebrow. “Flattery’s the last thing I expected from you.”
Luna smiled. “I’m not good at flattery, I’m afraid. You do literally look ten years younger than the last time I saw you.” Her eyes flicked to Harry. “Maybe it’s not a potion. Maybe it’s a person?”
Harry smiled. “I’ll leave you to it,” he said, patting Severus’ hand.
~
Trying to be unobtrusive, Harry lingered in the background just out of earshot to keep an eye on things.
After a while, Severus seemed to relax, and when their kitten crawled into his lap, tension seemed to drain from him.
About an hour in, Severus literally lit up, his expression brightening. The kitten responded to his mood, too, climbing onto his shoulder to bat at his hair.
Drifting closer, Harry realised Severus was talking about his research. He smiled. Severus always got animated when discussing potions; hopefully Luna’s article would bring that across.
And hopefully, the readers would buy it.
~
When Severus closed the Floo connection and stretched, Harry was right there. “So?” he asked, helping Severus up. “How’d it go?”
“It was…manageable.” Severus walked over to the sofa and drew Harry into his lap. “Her questions were not too invasive, and after a while, I literally forgot I was speaking with a journalist.”
Harry smiled, kissing him. “Yeah, it’s easy to relax with Luna.”
Severus hummed, pressing close for another kiss, a deeper, slower, more sensual exploration of mouths. When they separated, they were both panting.
“Need you,” said Severus, his expression intent, desperate.
Harry smiled. “Me, too.”
~
They undressed each other slowly. Once naked, Severus reclined, watching with hooded eyes as Harry applied his potion.
Harry took his time, smoothing the viscous liquid all over Severus’ cock and balls, enjoying the sighs and moans of pleasure he made. “You know,” he said quietly as he caressed Severus, “I sometimes think I could literally come just from listening to you.”
“We should try that sometime,” Severus murmured, reaching for him. “But not tonight.”
“No,” Harry agreed, settling between his legs. “Tonight I need to feel you.”
“And I, you,” said Severus, and then there was no more talking.
~
Harry’s favourite position was riding Severus, not because it let him take Severus deeper, which it did, nor because he could watch Severus, although that, too, was true. No, he loved it because it literally felt like flying. The rush of pleasure made his heart soar.
Returning to earth afterwards held its own charms, too, however. As they cuddled, Harry felt like golden threads bonded Severus’ heart to his.
Not that he’d ever tell Severus that. He knew Severus cared, but that all felt a bit too…romantic.
“Brilliant,” he whispered instead.
Severus pressed closer. “Indeed.”
And, satisfied, Harry slept.
~
When something sharp pierced Harry’s ankle, he woke abruptly. “Wha—?” Seeing the kitten, he sighed. “You’re literally a menace,” he muttered. “Come here.”
Severus mumbled in his sleep.
Rolling his eyes, Harry cuddled the kitten, trying to return to sleep. “We really need to find you a name,” he yawned.
:Azizi:
Harry froze. “Severus?” he whispered.
Severus simply snored softly.
Shaking his head, Harry once again tried to settle. “Relax, kitty.”
:AZIZI:
Harry stared at the Kneazle. “Was that…you?”
The Kneazle nodded. :Azizi:
“Azizi?” Harry repeated.
“Hm, Arabic for precious,” murmured Severus. “A good name for her.”
Harry grinned.

Date: 2017-09-01 09:06 pm (UTC)Whether or not people believe her is another story. ")
And yes, Azizi is fun. The Wizengamot? Not so much. :P
Thanks, hon!

Date: 2017-09-01 09:08 pm (UTC)You know, I swear I read something somewhere about Kneazles being intelligent and being able to communicate (although it's entirely possible that was fanfic and not canon, LOL).
Anyway, I think Azizi is going into be an asset. *g*
no subject
Date: 2017-09-01 06:09 am (UTC)I love the kitten's name! And that she can 'talk' to Harry is amazing...
Keeping my fingers crossed!
no subject
Date: 2017-09-01 09:09 pm (UTC)This is true. Hermione's not letting anything stop her.
And Azizi is going to be an asset I suspect...
Thanks, bb!
no subject
Date: 2017-09-12 04:49 pm (UTC)Ah, I hadn't thought the kitty would literally 'tell' them her name. ;)
Luna is their secret weapon? I'm glad Severus was able to relax with her - she seems to have become a bit more defined, more tangible than when she was a teenager.
no subject
Date: 2017-09-13 01:15 am (UTC)Hehe. Yes, sometimes straightforward is best. I figured, why not a telepathic kitty?
*nods* Luna has grown up a bit, bless her.
Thank you, hon!

Date: 2017-09-22 07:08 pm (UTC)And yes, Azizi is a fun name. It took some research to decide, however.
Thank you!
