I crawled under the large dining hall table and smiled at, Lolly, my youngest of three house elves. “What are you doing down her little one?”
She tugged her ears. “I-I-,” she lowered her voice. “I saw a ghost.”
Aceline smiled and took the small creatures hand. “Ghost or not they can’t harm you. They’re just here sharing our space. Won’t you please come out.”
Lolly shook her head, “My apologies, ma’am but I’m scared.”
“Of ghosts?”
“Of him.” Her voice shaked. “Cruel man broke Miss Evan’s heart, he did.”
Aceline’s smile fell, “My mother?”
Lolly nodded, “I swear I saw him in the window, Ma’am. The same one, every year.”
“Who? You tell me right now.”
“S-Snape.”
The words were enough to both shatter her world and shake her to her core. With her wand at the ready she lifted the white curtain of cloth and ran towards the door way to the patio, the way the elf had pointed. But there was no one- nothing. Just darkness and chill.

When Aceline woke up, warm and comfortable she realized she was already smiling. She pulled Harry closer and kissed his bare chest. His hand brushed her hair and her eyes looked up to his. “How long have you been up?”

When Harry felt Aceline pull him closer, he knew she was awake. He’d been lying there for a while thinking about his conversation with Ron, and just what exactly he wanted to do about it. He brushed back Aceline’s hair from her face, and looked down at her with a smile. “Not long, love. Did you have pleasant dreams?”

She blushed, “I always remember my dreams. But if I tell you they wont come true.” She pecked his cheek and smiled as she climbed out of bed. Making sure her the tail end of the shirt was covering her thin lace boyshort panties she sauntered to his bathroom to freshen up. “I have paperwork but I’m on call the next few days. How about you? Still slammed at work?”

Harry nodded and held her hand tightly, taking her up to the bedroom. He went to the closet and pulled out a button up for her, before stepping out of the room, to give her privacy. When he came back, she was ready for bed, and he stripped down to his boxers and pulled her into bed with him.

Harry smiled over at her. “You know what? His brother too. Regulus changed sides at the last minute.” He said, thinking of the locket. “But yes. Snape was here often, and this was headquarters.”he said, opening his arms.

Glenda smiled and took his hand lacing her fingers through his. She thought of her mom, “Can I borrow one of your old button ups?” She smiled as she pulled him towards the stairs.

Harry smiled and shook his head. “I understand, my dear. And whatever you want, its yours.” He smiled at the thought of Luna running around Spinner’s End. She’d no doubt find something imaginary there. “Sirius. Sirius Black. This was the Black family home, so I can see why you think its scary. They were all Slytherin pureblood elitists aside form Sirius. We used this place as Order headquarters for several years, actually.”

“I wonder if any of my family’s ever been here.” She smiled faintly as she took in the room with new eyes. “You mean this was the Order’s headquarters?”

Harry smiled at her horrified expression. “I have history here, too. This was my godfather’s home. But its not so bad, and surely we can spend at least some time here.” He said with a laugh, knowing she would never want to live here. “Or how about this. We can buy or own place. One just for us, and make our own history. We can use all the others as vacation spots and hideaways.” He suggested.

“It’s going to have to be massive to replace Rosier Hall in my heart.” She pouted, “I didn’t mean to discount you Harry.” She leaned over the table and gave him a peck. “I’ve just been making Rosier my dream home since I got it. The garden’s all my favorite flowers. Then I pictured teaching my daughters dance in my studio. Snape’s is hardly a vacation home, it’s tiny. Maybe once I clean out all his things Luna could take it.” Aceline groaned and hid her face in the cup. “I feel awful now. I didn’t know. Who was your Godfather?”

Harry made a face. “My home is not scary love.” He laughed and pointed to the counter near the stove. “Its right over there.”

Aceline smiled and took the lid off the salt putting a pinch into her hot chocolate. “It’s terrifying. It has the narrow halls and eerie lighting and dark wood. Every Rosier was a Slytherin until myself and it’s still very open and bright.”

Harry laughed and shook his head. “Its really not that bad. It looks a lot better than it used to. And you can decorate it if you like.” He offered, blowing on his cocoa to cool it off a little.

“Decorate it?” Aceline looked around in horror. “Harry, you can’t possibly imply that I ever live here. I’ve a life in my house, a history. This is better suited as an office. A decent amount of rooms but I can’t imagine a child here.” She sipped her cocoa and looked up at him concerned. She loved Rosier Hall and even Snape’s place in Spinner’s End she didn’t know the history of the house but it looked grim.

Harry laughed softly as she scolded him, knowing he had phrased his words incorrectly, though truthfully. “Well, the offer still stands, clothed or otherwise. And I know your rules. I am a gentleman, after all.” He said, making a grand bow. He followed her into the kitchen, and pulled out a tea kettle to warm up water and a can of cocoa. “For you, I have anything.” He said with a smile.

She let out a small giggle. “If we’re cuddling in any bed it’s my own. This house is far to scary.” She opened the cupboards, “Where’s your salt?”

She smiled as she trailed her kisses from his lips to his chin and then to his neck. She rested her head there and inhaled the smell of his aftershave. “We both work too much.” You keep sending me to these weddings it’s making me envious that our friends get to go home to the ones they love.

He held her close as she gave him kisses, reveling in the feel of her soft lips on his skin and the trail they burned. “I agree. Let’s quit working.” He teased her. “Well, I’d much rather have you there with me at these weddings than go alone, but you know you can come over anytime you wish. My bed and arms are always open to you.”

Aceline gave him a scolding look, “Tsk Tsk, Mr. Potter. I’m a lady and our one night of clothed cuddling was all you’ll get. It was hard enough to not give you my virtues then it’ll only be harder here on out because I’m so bloody in love.” She hopped off him and kissed his chin. “I love you but you know the rules, put a ring on it and my virginity is yours.” The tip of her tongue trailed across his lips and she smirked and went to the kitchen. “Do you have cocoa?”

iamharryjpotter:

Harry wrapped his arms tighter around Aceline, pulling her flush against him as he kissed her back. “Not possible, love. Its killed me not being able to see you.

She smiled as she trailed her kisses from his lips to his chin and then to his neck. She rested her head there and inhaled the smell of his aftershave. “We both work too much. You keep sending me to these weddings it’s making me envious that our friends get to go home to the ones they love.”
