Spur of the Moment

Chapter 55

Warning: m/m kissing

Harry groaned as Severus moved to his neck and he grasped the older man's shoulders, Severus having finally released his arm. However, it seemed that now he was able to breathe, he was able to think as well.

"Se...Sev'rus, we need to t...talk," Harry gasped out as Severus continued the assault on his neck.

"You talk, I'll continue," Severus said between kisses. "I've waited far too long for this."

"I know, I have too," Harry said with a laugh, "but we need to talk."

Severus sighed and pulled away. "When in Merlin's name did you become productive and rational?"

"When you ceased to be so," Harry said with a grin and Severus glowered.

"Didn't you say we needed to talk?" Severus said and Harry laughed, nodding. He pulled Severus over to the sofa and sat down.

"Perhaps, instead of yelling at each other, we actually discuss the wedding," Harry said and Severus sighed again.

"It is more than just dangerous for you to go to the wedding. The wards at the Burrow are not enough to protect you and neither are the people there. Some, I admit, are good wizards, but they are not enough to keep you safe," Severus told him.

"Don't you think I've thought of all of this?" Harry said with a smile. "Sev'rus, I have my bracelet and it can bring me from the Burrow to here if I need to. Also, that is why I suggested you come with me under Polyjuice or a glamour. I'm allowed to bring someone with me and it should be you."

"Harry, this is beyond dangerous. It's extremely unlikely if Voldemort doesn't already know about the wedding. He knows you are at Hogwarts. He is probably just waiting for you to leave and go to the Burrow," Severus said.

"I realize that, but I refuse to base my life around Voldemort, something you've told me. We've also agreed that I can't be locked away just because of Voldemort," Harry said.

"Harry—"

"I'm going to the wedding. I'm a groomsman, I have to go," Harry insisted.

Severus stared at him for a long while. "Fine, but if anything happens—"

"You can lock me in my room until I die." Harry grinned.

"That may be a bit extreme," Severus said and acted as though he was contemplating another solution. "Instead it will be my room and just until Voldemort is destroyed."

Harry chuckled. "I'm the only one who can destroy him."

"Anyone can destroy him, they're all just too cowardly to do so," Severus said and Harry smiled at the veiled compliment.

"Does that include you?" Harry asked cheekily.

"Must you be such a brat?" Severus said even as he leaned in and kissed Harry, silencing the younger man's laughter.

"So, what is this?" Harry asked once they broke apart again.

"I believe they call it a conversation," Severus said, smirking.

Harry smacked the man's arm. "Don't be a git. You know what I meant. What is this with us?"

"I think we should just let it be. Why label it and rush it? Let's just let it go and see what happens," Severus said.

Harry smiled and nodded. "Sounds good."

Severus laughed lightly and kissed him again.
