“What is the letter that you are reading, Harry?” Severus Snape asked his lover one morning as they were eating breakfast.

“It’s from the Falmouth Falcons.” said Harry. “They want me to come and talk to them about joining the team.”

“When?” asked Severus.

“This afternoon, if I can make it.” Said Harry. He scribbled something on the note and then went and got Neo, the new barn owl that he had purchased a few weeks ago at Eeylops Owl Emporium in Diagon Alley.

After Harry had sent off his note, he came back to the table.

“I might go to Diagon Alley” he told Severus. “Do you need anything?”

“I’ll check” said Severus.

Severus had thought that Harry might enroll in the Auror program at the Ministry, but he hadn’t. Apparently, he had been serious about never wanting to tangle with a dark Wizard again. He hadn’t shown any interest in anything else that Severus had suggested, disdaining to approach advanced potions study or arithmancy. Severus knew that just because he enjoyed them didn’t mean that Harry would, but he felt that he had to try. He knew that his young lover had been restless lately. He hadn’t said anything about it, but he was getting tired of hanging around the house while Severus operated his mail order potions business.

Severus retired to his potions lab, and Harry went upstairs to dress. He thought about firecalling Ron Weasley for lunch, but knew that his best friend would be busy. Ron had enrolled in the Auror program, and would be at the Ministry.

Hermione Granger had returned from Australia, where she had sent her parents for the duration of the war. She had modified their memories, but her mother had broken through the memory charm midway through the year. This caused her to be put into a mental hospital as she kept telling her husband that her name was not Monica Wilkins and that she had a daughter named Hermione. Mr. Granger thought she was having a mental breakdown, but once Hermione found her parents, she reversed the memory charm and brought them back to England. Hermione was staying with her parents, now, and Harry decided to visit her after his meeting.

Harry preferred to dress in muggle jeans and t-shirts when he was just at home with Severus, but he knew to put on wizard robes for his meeting with the Falmouth Falcons. He chose simple dark gray robes with green trim. When he stopped in the potions lab to say goodbye to Severus, his lover looked at him appreciatively and then gave him the list of ingredients he wanted him to order, and a kiss.

“I’m going to see Hermione after the meeting, so I will be back in the evening. I’ll send you an owl or firecall if I am later than that.” He told Severus.

“Have a good time, Harry” Severus told him, then turned back to his work.

Harry had an enjoyable hour talking with the owner and the coach of the Falmouth Falcons. They played a bit rough, but Harry thought that he would enjoy the challenge. The started talking about his signing bonus (a new Firebolt) and his pay( 2000 Galleons per season, plus extra if they made it to the playoffs.

Harry was excited with the deal. He signed a one year contract with an option for subsequent years. He was told when they would start having practices, and given a schedule of home and away games.

Harry shook hands with the owner and the coach, was told to go to Quality Quidditch Supplies and put in his order for the Firebolt, and to be there next week for the team practice.

“Come back on Monday” the owner advised him” and we’ll do a press release.”

After leaving the Falmouth Falcons, Harry apparated to Hermione’s house. He hadn’t warned her that he was coming, but she seemed happy to see him.

I haven’t seen you in ages” she told him. “ not since we went to dinner two weeks ago. “

“I just signed with the Falmouth Falcons” Harry told her. “ And, I’ve been busy….with Severus.”

Harry had told he of the relationship when the three of them had gone to dinner a couple of weeks before, when Hermione had just returned from Australia. She thought his relationship with Severus was romantic.

“What does Severus think?” Hermione asked him. “ Will he be happy you’re playing professional Quidditch?”

“I don’t know” Harry admitted. “I know he wants me to do something more than hang around the house. “

The two of them decided to go to the Leaky Cauldron for lunch, and then do a bit of shopping in Diagon alley.

“So, how is it with your parents?” asked Harry, once they had ordered lunch at the Leaky Cauldron.

“Well, I had to modify Mom’s memory of the mental hospital” said Hermione. “Dad is happy as a clam. He doesn’t even know that he’s been away. I am keeping an eye on Mom, since she broke that memory charm- and it was a strong one.”

“Severus thinks that she broke it because her love for you was stronger than the charm,” said Harry” He said that a mother’s love can do wondrous things. “

“Really?” asked Hermione, excitedly. “Do you think he would mind if I came over to chat one day?”

“You’ll have to ask him. Send him an owl.” Said Harry, “But, I’ll mention it to him.”

They ate lunch and then Harry went to order his broom. He was surprised to see Hermione looking at brooms, too. She blushed when he caught her and admitted that she wanted one so that she and Ron could go flying together.

“What are you planning to do?” asked Harry. “Now that we’ve finished with school?”

“I’ve applied to the Ministry” said Hermione. “I want to work in the department for Control and Regulation of Magical creatures. “

They stopped by to visit George at Weasley Wizard Wheezes, and then to Flourish and Blotts, where Harry wanted to pick up a present for Severus. Harry had discovered how much Severus liked Harry to bring him presents when he went out, so he made sure to pick up something for him every time he went out. He smiled at the thought of getting him things from different areas of England, as he traveled with the Falmouth Falcons.

It was getting towards evening when Harry hugged Hermione goodbye, and went home to Severus. He found his lover sleeping in the black leather recliner, with a book on his chest. Harry was surprised to find that Severus loved the chair as much as he did. Not that he would admit it, but Harry had found him sleeping in it more than once.

Harry climbed into the chair with Severus. He tried not to wake him, but Severus was a light sleeper.

“Harry” he smiled at Harry and wrapped his arms around him. “How was your day?”

Harry leaned into Severus.” It was fine. The Falmouth Falcons want me to play for them.”

“And are you going to play for them?” asked Severus.

“ Yes.” said Harry, wondering how Severus was going to react. “ I am. I signed the contract. They got me a new Firebolt as a signing bonus.”

“ I am glad that you signed.” said Severus.

“You are? “ asked Harry.

“ Yes” said Severus. “ You are young, Harry. You had a horrible childhood. You spent your formative years fighting against a madman. If anyone deserves to have some fun, it's you. And, I'll be here, waiting for you between games.”

“Will you come and see me play?” asked Harry, snuggling closer to Severus.

“ Why would I do that?” asked Severus.

“The first game of Quidditch I ever played, someone tried to kill me. If it wasn't for you, I would have died. You have to come and see me play, you know, to protect me.” said Harry.

Severus kissed Harry and they were silent for a while.

“I guess I will have to come and see you play” said Severus.

Harry smiled against his lover. He knew that Severus would never admit that he wanted to see Harry play, or that he would worry because the Falcons were such a rough team.

“ I got you a present today” Harry said after a while.

“What is it?” asked Severus.

A book- an ancient grimoire” answered Harry. “Accio grimoire”

The book was only a couple of feet away so it came flying up, but Harry grabbed it before it hit either of them. He handed the book to Severus.

Severus looked through the book for a few minutes, then he put it down and kissed Harry soundly.

“ So, you like your present?” asked Harry, once they came up for air.

“Yes” said Severus. “ It must have cost you a fortune. That's a handwritten copy.”

“You're worth it” said Harry. He leaned over and kissed Severus again.

“Take your clothes off” commanded Severus when they came up for air again.

Harry stood and complied. He loved it when Severus got demanding like this.

Severus removed his clothes as well, and pulled Harry down on his lap.

“ I want to fuck you like this” whispered Severus.” Just like this, with you sitting in my lap with your back to me”

He licked the shell of Harry's ear and Harry heard him whisper a spell. Harry had found that Severus knew a lot of sexual spells and the one that he had just whispered was a lubricating and loosening spell.

“Lift up” he instructed.

Harry did and Severus positioned himself. Harry knew that the spell didn't work as well as using one's hand, so he slowly i lowered himself onto his lovers' cock. He was still for a moment, getting used to it, before he slowly began to move. Harry braced his feet against the footrest on the recliner and they started to move. They quickly discovered that the position didn't work very well with the chair in full recline, and Severus repositioned the chair.

“That's better” Harry whispered and started to move more in earnest. Severus shifted so that he could hit Harry's prostate, and Harry saw stars.

“Everyone will be watching you play Quidditch” Severus whispered. “ And if your fan base wasn't big enough as it is, you'll be dealing with a whole new crowd.”

“ And, when I get done playing, you'll be the one I will come home to” Harry whispered back as he tugged on one of Severus' hands.” Touch me, Severus” he moaned.

“ I think you like that” Harry whispered a few seconds later. “ I think you like all the people watching me, but knowing that you will be the one I come home to. Knowing that I'm yours.”

“Mine!” Severus rasped. “ You're mine, Harry!” Harry felt Severus shuddering and felt his lover come inside him.

Harry had still not come, so after Severus rode his orgasm out he tightened his hold on Harry's cock. It took a couple of strokes before Harry was spilling into Severus' hand.

They both lay there breathing hard for a few minutes before Severus whispered a cleaning charm.

“ Do you want to go out for dinner?” Severus asked him.

“Yes” said Harry. “I don't feel like cooking. Hey, we should hire a house elf to take care of you while I am gone. I could hire practically any house elf in Britain.”

“ That idea has some merit. “ said Severus. “ You can work on getting us a house elf in the next few days.”

As they walked upstairs hand in hand to take a shower, Harry said” You know that you're going to get some press as my lover, once I start playing.”

“ I don't mind.” said Severus.” Because I know you're mine.”
