Jade and the Silver Dragon

Chapter 6

During the rest of the week, Harry kept himself busy by finishing the deck with Sirius and Severus, researching his books, and helping Severus with the venom samples. Before he knew it, it was Saturday. He looked through his now full closet to see what he should wear that night. He'd take pants, shirts, and shoes out, then immediately put them back in getting more and more frustrated by the minute.

"Problems Harry?" Severus asked from the open doorway.

Harry looked to Severus and smiled uncertainly. "Would you believe I don't know what to wear to this club?"

"Where are you going?" Severus asked coming in to sit on the edge of his bed.

"Screamers," Harry replied, grinning as he pulled out a dark pair of leather pants.

"Ah... those would be too warm for the club," Severus said about the leather pants. "That club is usually always crowded, and being in America you get all sorts in there."

"Did you say America?" Harry interrupted. "Will the Floo work that far?"

"Yes, it's in America... and yes, the Floo will work. That club gets people from all over the world," Severus smirked. "It's a very mixed club. You'll see leather, silk, jeans, and probably a fair amount of chain, and men in drag."

"And how would you know that, Sev," Sirius said coming into the room to sit behind Severus, his legs opened for Severus to lean back against his chest.

"I know, because I have been there a few times with Devlin and Raiden," Severus replied. "Why don't you wear those faded jeans of yours with the tears in them."

"Yeah, Devlin liked those," Sirius teased.

Harry took the jeans out and stepped into the bathroom to slip them on, then came out to see Sirius nibbling the side of Severus' neck. "Uh... guys, can you do that later... in maybe... your own bed," He said smirking. "Need help here."

Severus sighed as he pulled away from Sirius's arms to walk towards Harry with Sirius following a few seconds later. They looked to Harry in just his jeans, no shirt yet, before Severus took his wand out. "They need to be a bit tighter," He said making it so.

"And maybe a few more strategic tears," Sirius added brandishing his wand also.

Severus smirked to himself as he saw the bare skin at Harry's hip. "Going commando Harry? Hoping to get lucky, maybe?" He teased.

Harry shrugged his one shoulder, then looked down at his jeans, they looked completely different than before. More skin showing through the tears that Sirius made, or the ones that were already there enlarged.

"Now maybe a tank top of some kind," Sirius said going to Harry's walk-in closet.

Severus looked to the closet to make sure Sirius was still occupied. "He has been known to go to that particular club to use the private rooms on the upper level," he said, knowing that Harry would know who he was talking about.

"Maybe I shouldn't go then?" Harry said worriedly.

"Harry, I think you are as ready as you'll ever be to face up to him. I have faith in you. Also, Raiden is an Auror in training, and the bartenders and bouncers are ex-aurors. You will be fine. At the first tinge of pain through your scar, get out or come back immediately," Severus said.

Harry put his arms around Severus' waist and hugged him tight. "Thanks, Sev. I'll be careful," He said against Severus' chest.

"Hey there," Sirius said coming out, "You have your own guy to hug," He teased as he handed Harry the tank top. "Which you should have left to meet about a half hour ago."
