Harry was hurting. His head and his heart was hurting and it was becoming obvious.
-------
Harry was ready to go at 9:30 like Ryu asked. Though Ryu noticed a dullness behind Harry's eyes.

-------

"Mr. Black it is so wonderful to see you." Exclaimed Roxy.

Roxy was a loud, boisterous, and a pain in the ass. But he was a good writer and journalist. He told the truth and didn't care what people thought. Mr. Black loved him as a writer, hated him as a person. He just rubbed him the wrong way when they were in social environments together. So today Mr. Black was glad this was not a social visit.

"Roxy always a pleasure." Mr. Black said with a smile.

"Oh you are such a fibber." Roxy laughed.

"Well yes, but today we are doing business and I like you this way." Mr. Black smirked.

"Yes, yes. Most of your kind do. Love that I tell the truth, especially when I give praise in my reviews." Roxy grinned. "Shall we get started?" He asked.

"Yes lets." Mr. Black replyed as he sat down across Roxy.

------

Harry watched, but didn't listen. His mind was back at home. His mind was on Gambit. He couldn't wait to get home and be with him.

He couldn't stop thinking of him. His taste, smell, his looks. The way he would look at Harry and see through him right to his soul. Harry just couldn't get enough of the beautiful man.

-----

Throughout the interviews. He also met with two other writer after Roxy. Ryu would glance and Harry, he noticed the far off look. The mumbling under his breath. What was wrong with him. This is not like Harry. He was attentive, watchful and protective. Right now he had far off look, blank, and unresponsive. It worried Ryu, and he didn't know what to do.

"Harry?" Mr. Black said tapping the man on the shoulder.

Still no response.

"Harry!" Yelled Mr. Black

Again no response.

"HARRY JAMES POTTER!" Mr. Black growled loudly as he hit him on the shoulder.

"What?" Harry said shocked. "Where am I?"

"You are at my interviews, and obviously not doing you job in making sure I am safe." Mr. Black said stiffly.

"Sorry Sir. I don't know what is wrong with me." Harry said quickly "It won't happen again Sir."

"Make sure it doesn't." Mr. Black stated.

"Are we done Sir?" Harry questioned.

"Yes. I have one more stop, but it won't take a minute, then we can head home." Mr. Black quietly said back. Scrutinizing over Harry to see if he can figure out what was wrong.

"Sounds good Sir." Said Harry "I think I need to lay down."

"Well close your eyes. I can send the driver in to pick up my package with Betsy. She just has some designs she wanted me to look over from her new summer line. We don't need to get out of the car." Mr. Black said as he watched Harry's eyes slowly close.

Ryu watch Harry as he slept. Telling himself he was looking for the reason Harry was acting so strangely. It was partly true. He was worried about him. He just took his time looking over him. Making sure he didn't miss a thing.

Harry's face was scruffy. It was unlike him not to shave. He usually was clean shaved unless it was the weekend. He would have to remind Harry to shave before going back to the office tomorrow. Ryu had to admit the man look sexy with the scruff. The growth of hair perfectly outlined his square jaw.

While checking out his face Ryu noticed that Harry's lips were full and pouty. They were slightly parted as he slept.

'Such a delicious looking mouth.' Though Ryu. 'Wait, no. Employee, cannot think of him as delicious.'

Shaking his head he kept his eyes moving over Harry's broad shoulders. Quidditch did him well, along with being an auror.

'Wonder what he is hiding under that shirt?' Dreamed Ryu 'Stop thinking like this.'

"Ok I need to stop looking or I am going to need some release." Mumbled Ryu.

"Sir are you ok?" Whispered Harry.

"Yes. Yes. Go back to sleep." Was the reply back. "We still have more than an hour before we are home.

"Hmmm... Good I can see Gambit." Slurred Harry as he fell back to sleep.

'What is with this Gambit guy?' Ryu pondered. 'Is he the reason Harry is slacking?'

Ryu sat in the SUV thinking over the changes he has seen when it comes to Harry. When did this odd behavior start?

They finally arrived home. Gently shaking Harry, Ryu tried waking him up.

"Harry we are home." He quietly said

"5 more minutes Ron." Mummbled Harry. "Professor Snape can wait."

Ryu chuckled at Harry and his words. Wondering what he could be dreaming. Must be back at school.

"Harry time to wake up. I am sure Gambit is waiting for you." Mr. Black said with a hint of anger.

Harry's eyes popped open at the name. He was suddenly awake and scrambling to romove himself from the vehicle.

Ryu sat and watched. He had never seen such odd behavior from Harry. Yes, when they were back at school Harry was quick to run to the rescue. That was in his DNA to be the hero. This was nothing like that. It was like he was drawn to Gambit. It just made Ryu wonder.

'I am going to have to watch those two.' Ryu thought to himself.

The decision was made. Ryu was going to go on the next two fashion shoots to watch.

-----1st shoot-------

The got to the location around 10 am.  It was a beautiful old hotel with Victorian roots. It was built in the early 1800s and still had 90% of the original furniture and makings. Ryu loved doing shoots here he loved walking through the lobby and the the connecting rooms.

The shoot was going perfectly. The models where very professional and each picture was top grade. Ryu couldn't have been happier on how things were going.

The only thing bothering him was Harry and Gambit. Sly touches, secret kisses, and hand holding wasn't the problem. It was how Harry followed Gambit like a lost puppy.

Ryu couldn't see any reason to why Harry was like this. All he was doing was drinking water, which everyone was doing and eating off the food table. Everthing looked normal except for Harrys behavior.

-----That night------

Ryu laid in bed so frustrated with everything.

'Why do I care if Harry is a love sick puppy.' Ryu thought

'It is not like I am interested in him. As long as he does his job.' He told himself.

'Though he his handsome in a rugged, manly sort of way.' Ryu started dreaming of all the aspects he found desirable.

'Stop it right now. He works for you and that is that. You are worried because he is slacking. Not because you care.' Ryu forcefully told himself as he drifted off in a restless sleep.

-----Morning-----

Ryu got up with the mission. To find out what the hell is going on with Harry.

Once his morning routine was done he headed downstairs to have the morning meeting with the models, then head out to the next shoot.

Ryu had Harry ride with him and not the models this time. Using the excuse that he wanted to go over traveling plans with him.

Once they reached their destination Harry quickly scrambled out of the car and went right to Gambit. Ryu watched like a hawk on his pray. Not willing to miss a single movement.

First thing he noticed was Gambit latched onto Harry. With that touch he noticed Harry relax and gravitate into Gambit. As they walked away Gambit turned and gave Ryu a smirk.

Ryu didn't like the look, and he didn't trust him.

Ryu watched. He watched everything that Harry did. He didnt allow Harry to leave his sight.

Towards the end of the day frustration was at its peak with Ryu. He couldn't figure out a single thing that would make Harry change. That is until the shoot was over and people were packing up.

Gambit handed Harry a bottle of water. Now that wouldn't be strange, but this water was not the bottle service Ryu used. It was Gambits own supply. Thinking back Ryu saw each bottle Harry drank from and none of them was the company he used.

As the group walked back to the cars Harry threw the bottle away. Waiting until they were out of sight Ryu grabbed the bottle to take home.

Using a stasis spell to keep whatever was in the bottle from disappearing. Ryu quickly hid it in his case and moved to his car.

Now to figure out if he needed to be worried about Harry or if all Harry needed was a kick in the ass. He was going to figure it out.

They made it home. After saying his good nights and letting the models know that they had a few days off, Ryu went to his potions lab.

He was good at potions, if he had studied more he could have been a Potions Master. Brewing a potion he could do easily. Figuring out of there is even a potion there. Now that is not so easy. There was only one person he knew that could.

Ryu sat at his desk, pulled out parchment and quill and started to write the only Potion Master he knew.

Severus Snape
