A Snarry Story

Chapter 7

Sirius was filled with rage, but it wasn't too shocking to be completely honest, I notice the weird look Remus gave, but sighed and extended a hand to Severus; a sign of peace and I am hopeful.  There is a lingering silence over the air, but I cannot figure out if it will turn out well, or if it will go up in flames, but Sirius kept his distance and Remus other than the hand he still had left handed out to Severus did nothing.

Severus shook the hand with caution and I smiled a weak smile, but one what kinda stated that I was happy to tell them about this; I had been wanting to tell Sirius and Remus for a while, but figured it would have been best not to... and yet, this turned out quite nicely. 

"So, this... when did this become a thing?" Sirius eyed Snape up and down.

"Padfoot, it doesn't matter. What matters is that Harry is happy... Sirius love, when is the last time we had seen Harry happy? Answer honestly." Remus piped in with a hand on my shoulder.

Sirius glanced at me, then to his old friend, then to his enemy. Severus merely walked to the kitchen and poured himself a glass, then extending an offering of whiskey to Remus and Sirius; catching both the marauders off guard and I was... I really was happy.

Remus, sat next to Sirius on the leather couch and I wheeled over to them and asked Severus if I could have a glass; to which Sirius smiles and extends his hand for a high five and Remus promptly smackinghis friend in the arm.

"Harry, I may be your lover, but I am still your teacher and it is a school night, have you-"

"Severus! - I whine his name, something I found gets me what I want... I dont know if he likes it, but I get what I want- it's Friday! Sirius said I could!" Sirius laughs and looks at Severus, who raises an eyebrow waiting to see if I can get a glass of whiskey or not.

"Severus, I am sure you know what it was like to be young, let the pup have his whiskey, worse case he doesn't like it and you have another glass of whiskey." Severus then looks to Remus.

Moony sighs and nods his head muttering something about Sirius being irresponsible and how he was kinda happy Snape didn't want to give me the beverage.

We all had a glass of fire whiskey, I smelled the auburn liquor and my nose scrunches, Sirius is amused by this and laughs to Remus about how funny I was; even when I say something serious... he chuckles it off and minds himself.

"Harry, if you don't like it, I will drink it for you, no need to stress, okay?" Severus seemed very aware that I may not like it, but I wanted to show how much of a grown up I am.

Not to prove something to anyone except Sirius, I want him to start treating me like an adult, not a child who he can babysit; I want to have real conversations with the man.

I remember what Fred and George had told me about alcohol... if I hold my breath I won't be able to taste it. The men sipped their glasses, Severus ask  Remus about the job hunt for the two of them; Sirius smiles and puts his hand up when he catches me putting the glass to my lips.

I feel like a joke to Sirius right now.

Holding my breath I down the whole glass in one quick swing; it burns the back of my  throat, but I don't let anyone know this. I place the empty glass and Sirius claps for me, pulling back his, he moves to the kitchen to grab the whole bottle and filled up mine and his glass.

"A toast!" Sirius barks with pride.

"May you two be happy, but remember that if you hurt him, my 12 years that I had served before will become another 12 years. CHEERS!"

With smiles all around we cheers and Severus walks up to me; pressing his nose in my hair he whispers.

"Sirius is going to get you buggered."
