"Hermione why would you mention that?" Harry asks a little annoyed. Yes, he understands she is just trying to be helpful and making sure Ron is okay, but this is not the way to do it.

Severus looks at Sirius and Remus who looked shocked. Then he looks ay Hermione. "Yeah so? That is really none of your business."

Hermione frowns a little looking down, Severus glances at the two dogs and see they are looking for a little upset. Severus rolls his eyes.

"Why would you kill yourself?" Remus asks.

"None of your business." Severus snaps.

"Well I didn't think we were that bad." Sirius mumbles.

Severus sighs wishing Hermione didn't bring this up. he was happy them just thinking he was some horrible creature and them having no clue how he was one. "Well here is something shocking not everything is about you." They all look confused, and Severus sighs. "I don't even see why you care."

The reat of dinner goes by silently and tensly. Mrs Weasley and ton tries to get Severus into conversation but he has essently shut down.

After they eat Ron leads Severus up to his and Harrys room. Harrys stays downstairs wirh Hermione.

"Are you okay?" Ron asks softly.

Severus grins. "Im fine."

"Will you like to stay the night?" Ron asks grinning.

"Why do you want me to stay?" Severus asks. Ron has asked him to stay a few times now. Severus just dosnt get why.

Ron shrugs. "I just think itll be fun."

Severus sighs. "Ill stay."

Ron hugs him and Severus gives him a small squeeze before letting go.

The next day Severus wakes up next to Rons warm body, and said boy is holding onto Severus tight.

Severus looks at Ron then looks over at Potter hearing noises. Severus sits up breaking Ron hold easily to see Harry in what looks like a nightmare.

Severus gets up and wakes Ron motioning to Harry.

Ron sighs and gets up. "He always has nightmares. Started last summer." He mumbles and wakes Harry.

Once Harry is calmed down and they are ready the three of them head downstairs. Severus takes Rons hand kissing the back of it. After everyone sits down and starts to eat Headwig and Rons owl flies in, the Weasley owl more crashing than landing. The students look at there Hogwarts letters Ron and Hermione cheerfully announcing that they are prefects.

"Thats wonderful." Mrs. Weasley says cheerfully, "Thats everyone in the family."

"What are we? Neighbors?" Fred and Geroge say sounding slightly annoyed.

"We will go shopping tomorrow since Harry has his trial today." Mrs. Weasley says unsure how to respond to the twins.

Later Severus and Ron are sitting on Rons bed playing chess. Ron frowns at the bored staring at it. Severus actually seems pretty good so this is not an easy game like normal for him.

Severus watches him quitly smiling. Ron glances at him and grins. "Yes?"

"Nothing. Just watching you. I think your beutiful."

Ron rolls his eyes. "Well so are you."

"No im not." Severus mumbles. "Its your turn make a move already." Severus huffs not wanting Ron to say another word.

Ron smirks. "Make a move?"

Severus nods confused.

Ron moves the bord aside, pushes Severus onto his back and kisses him. Severus flinches slightly but slowly puts his arms around him and kisses back. Ron smiles happy that Severus is relaxing into this.

Ron jumps up when he hears the door open and they both look to see Harry.

"Um. Ill just-" harry mumbles turning to leave.

Ron gets off of Severus. "Your fine Harry. How was the trial?" Ron asks as Severus sits up and moves to lean against the wall pulling his knees to his chest.

Harry sits on his own bed. "It went fine I guess. Im still able to go to Hogwarts. Dumbldore showed up. I tried to talk to him but he blew me off." Harry says rolling his eyes.

Severus frowns a little. That stupid old man was ignoring Harry.

"Maybe hes just busy." Ron says shrugging.

Harry huffs. "I want to know whats going on. I have a right to know, besides everyone is saying im crazy. This is unfair."

"Yeah it is. They expect you to help save everyone and stop He Who Must Not Be Named but wont tell you anything. Even when I ask." Ron says glancing at Severus.

Severus rolls his eyes. "I promised I wont talk about anything. Besides Potter, you are a child, we just want you to act like one."

Harry glares at Severus. "Kind of hard to act like one when every fucking year Voldemort does somthing to try and kill me." At the name of Voldemort both Severus and Ron flinch.

"You really shouldnt say that name." Severus mumbles.

Harry rolls his eyes. "Besides whats going to happen this year? Voldemort is actually back, the ministry is not listening. He may actually attack the school himself. And ill be useless because no one is talking to me."

"Im sure itll be okay." Ron says grinning. "I mean if he attacks the school the ministry wont be able to deny it any more." Ron says trying to sound cheerfull.

"Im going to go talk to Hermione about the trial." Harry says getting up and leaving to find Hermione.

Ron looks at Severus and grins. "So we are alone again."

Severus looks at him. "Yes?" Severus says a little confused as to what Ron is suggesting. 

Ron kisses Severus moving closer to him. And Severus kisses back relaxing against him.
