INTO THE STORM (Abbrev.)

---

The rain formed a silver curtain around everything. The sound was like a wild drum beating on the earth.

"You're drunk," Harry whispered.

"Yes." Snape slid his cheek against the warmth of Harry’s. "And you smell like innocence."

"Let me go," Harry tried to say.

His protest was met with a short, gruff laugh.

"Let me..."

The words caressed his skin, making his insides ache.

Harry's breath caught. "What?"

The dark eyes got even blacker as they held him captive. The air between them seemed to spark, and the rain was like static.

"Let me use you to redeem myself."


BAPTISM BY FLOOD

Dark Water

---

There was something about the dark that drew the innocents out.

Severus watched, invisible.

"It hurts," Potter murmured.

Granger reached out to him. "Why did you drink it? We could have found the Horcrux another way."

“Just leave.”

Granger sighed, but Apparated.

Only then did Severus walk over. Pressing his face to Potter’s neck, he inhaled deeply.

"I could feel you.” Potter whispered. “I knew you couldn’t resist."

"It burns you," Severus snarled. "You're too pure. It poisons you."

"Doesn't matter," Harry countered.

Severus licked the curve of Harry's throat and growled. "Still, it tastes intoxicatingly good upon your skin."


Chalice

....

Harry swayed. His pupils were dilated. His lips, red.

Severus pulled him against his body, digging his nails into Harry's shoulder.

"Why are you here Potter?”

"You know how to make me better," Harry pointed out.

"Now you know how intoxicating it is to drink from the cup of darkness.” The fingers loosened and retreated. Severus licked the crescent shaped marks. Harry moaned in his arm as if he actually liked it. Severus laughed at that.

"It has possessed you." He traced the contours of Harry's face almost gently with his fingertips. "Let me purge you."

Harry nodded without hesitation.
