Just Because
TITLE: Just Because
PAIRING: ... Snarry *squeals*
DISCLAIMER: I do not own but oh how much I love. I don't think Rowling likes Snape as much as I like Snarry. :3
RATING: Crack. Humor. Fluff?


[[“You two ready?”]]

“NO!”

“I refuse to do this.”

[[“Too late. You promised.”]]

“I hate you.”
“I hate you!”

[[“And there seems to be an echo.”]]

“I-” A glance. “We’re not doing this.”

[[“Too late.” Smile. “You already are.”]]

“How dare---!” “Why you---!”

[[“Oh, come on you two! This is fun!”]]

“You sound like that Muggle doctor from that show. ‘Domicile’ or something.”

“’House,’ Severus.”

A growl. “What is the point of this anyway?”

[[“Point? Doesn’t it feel really good?”]]

“’Good?’” A scoff. “’Good’ would be if Potter here were a woman.”

“HEY! Not having much fun here either!”

[[“Really? That is strange.”]]

“What’re you doing?”

[[“Ah! Here it is.” Begins reading.]]

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”

[[“I am hearing an echo.”]]

“Answer us.”

[[“Severus?”]]

“WHAT?”

[[“Why don’t you wiggle about a bit?”]]

“WHAT? WHY WOULD I---”

A breathy moan.

“Potter?”

[[“Do that again!”]]

“What, this?”

“YESSSSSSSSSSS!”

“Was he supposed to do that?”

[[“Yes, Severus. Harry just had an orgasm.”]]

“An---”

Gryffindor-red was really not a good look for the Slytherin prince.

[[“Yes. And if you would just repeat the motion----”]]

“WHY SHOULD I?”

[[“---You would have one as well.”]]

“WHAT? No!”

[[“Don’t you want one?”]]

“I… I’m not gay!”

“I’m not gay either, professor.”

“NO ONE’S ACCUSING YOU, POTTER!”

“I am sorry.”

Shock.

“You’re not--- You shouldn’t have to.”

Resolutely. “Don’t make him do this.”

[[“Harry, I---”]]

“YOU KNOW NOTHING! HE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO DO IT IF IT MAKES HIM UNCOMFORTABLE! IT SHOULDN’T BE LIKE THAT!”

[[“How should it be like, then?”]]

“Y- you don’t know?”

[[Let’s pretend that I do not. Smiles. “No, Harry. I do not.”]]

“Well, for one, no forcing.”

[[“And what else?”]]

“He has to want it.”

[[“How do you know he wants it, Harry?”]]

Blush. “You l-look at his…”

[[“And what does it tell you?”]]

“He doesn’t want it.”

[[“Can you make him want it?”]]

“I…”

[[“You can’t, can you? I bet you can’t! HA!”]]

“I CAN TOO!”

[[This is too easy. “Then PROVE IT!”]]

Potter, it’s a tra---! Merlin! That’s…

“Do you like that, professor?”

[[If he wiggles like that, Harry, he probably does.”]]

“What?”

[[“Oh, I, uh, I mean, I don’t know. How does that feel, Severus?”]]

I am not answering that, you manipulative---! “POTTERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!”

[[“Heh.”]]

“Why are you smiling like that? This is how you tell when it’s good.”

Weakly. “She knows, Potter.”

“Huh?”

“She manipulated us into it. Again.”

The way he said it made it sound like it was all Harry’s fault.

“I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING!”

“Wanna bet?” He looked down sarcastically.

“Oh.”

“Yes. Oh.”

[[“Well, obviously I am not needed here anymore.” Starts backing away. “You two will be fine by yourselves from now on, won’t you?”]]

“From now o---?”

“STOP HER, HARRY!!!!”

[[“Bye now. And remember your promise now, you two!”]]

[[!!!!POOF!!!!]]

“She disappeared. She disappeared, Severus!”

“That she did. And in a cloud of intertwined male symbols, too,” Snape said ironically. Before he turned on Harry.

“You do realize what this means, don’t you Potter?”

“Uh… you are angry at me again?” Harry said nervously.

“Yes. And why am I angry at you, Harry?” The forced slowness of the words did nothing to lessen the steam coming out of Snape’s ears.

“I am sorry.”

“YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU DID! DO YOU POTTER?”

A shake of the head. “Sorry.”

“STOP SAYING THAT!”

“So…”

A glare.

“What you did, Harry,” Severus squeezed through his teeth, “is screwed us both.”

“Wha--? How?”

“With your little show.” A sneer. “You’re a lousy teacher, Potter.”

“HEY! I DIDN’T HEAR YOU COMPLAINING WHEN I WAS DOING IT!”

They both blushed. When Snape blushed darker, Harry realized that he was angry, not flustered.

“SHE WAS PRETENDING, YOU DOLT!”

“Why would she do that?”

An evil smirk. “Yes, Potter. Why would she do that? Hmmmm. Let’s think. What has she made us do for the past week, showing up unannounced and everything?”

“Uhhhh… fuck?”

“Ten points to Gryffindor. Yes, Potter. And all for the purposes of drawing us closer together in the hopes that we would eventually be doing all of it of our own free will.”

“Well, we sure showed her, didn’t we, then?” Harry rallied. “Because we… we…” He trailed off, his hand barely hovering over his mouth in dawning realization.

Snape looked triumphant. “Exactly. She finally succeeded. You touched me,” he pointed first at himself then at Harry, “voluntarily for the first time today. You weren’t ‘forced.’”

“So what? It was only once. No way we’d do it again now we know what she’s after.”

“Oh. Won’t we? Won’t we really, Potter?”

“Stop calling me Potter!”

…

“Oh God! Since when do I care what you call me?”

“Exactly.”

“What happens next?”

“We fall in love and buy a house in the countryside, Harry. And everything we have ever worked for will be completely undone.”

“But…” Harry tried again, thinking of Ginny Weasley and their three children.

Snape pointed behind him. Harry turned around and saw Ginny walking towards them, smiling, James, Al, and Lily in tow. But she was getting smaller, so much smaller… but how was that possible? She was walking towards them, wasn’t she?

Ginny disappeared from sight before she ever reached the two of them.

“They’re gone.”

“That’s why I didn’t have kids, Potter.”

“I thought you hated kids.”

Not yours. “That too.”

“I’ll miss them.”

I’ll miss them too.

“Al had your eyes.”

Crap! He doesn’t suspect me, does he?

Jade met onyx.

No. He is too far gone. His eyes are so beautiful. Ugh. And so am I, apparently. Far gone, not beautiful. She’s notTHAT strong!

Stupid wench. Stupid Potter. I’ll never be rid of him now!

[[But you don’t really want to be, now, do you Severus?]]

Gasp! What the----!!!

[[Spinner’s End is awfully lonely this time of year, wouldn’t you agree? Severus?]]

“AVADA KEDAVRA IS TOO MERCIFUL FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU!!!!”

Oops. That was out loud, wasn’t it?

“Professor?”

Harry’s question was muted by cackling laughter.

He grabbed his wand and aimed it at the cacophony-making cloud. But his hand wouldn’t obey.

Because Potter was attached to it.

…

“Let. GO. Harry.”

“Would it be so bad, professor?”

Awful. “Bad? It would be---” Hmmm. Not ‘bad’, precisely…

“See?” A smile. “I’d rather have you anyway.”

Kiss.

“What about the…” Oh. Ohhhhhh. “The children…?”

Kiss. “Forget the children.” Another kiss.

Whispered against his mouth. “They’re standing right there, Harry.”

“Huh? But why would they be?”

Unless… No…! She wouldn’t---!!!! Bloody hell! NO! NONONONONO!

The girl had greasy black hair. They boy had green eyes. And neither would be winning any beauty pageants in the foreseeable future, from what he could see.

[[Just…. think of it as a way to keep warm during the cold winter, Severus.]]

Damn that woman!
