Summary: Harry Potter's happiness is Slytherin-shaped and, if he gets his way, it'll also be publicly acknowledged.

Public Happiness.

 Severus read the draft to Harry's latest public statement and frowned:
“What's this? I thought we're keeping our... affair... quiet.”

“Affairs are only about sex. This goes deeper than that, Severus. This is...”

“Don't say it, please...”

Harry continued determinedly:
“This is love. We can't hide it forever.”

“I don't respond well to all-or-nothing ultimatums, Potter. I invariably choose nothing.”

“That's because nobody's offered you all, Severus. I know you expect me to run away one day, in pursuit of happiness or some such rot, but... That'd be ridiculous, my love. My happiness is right here. My happiness is... you."

poor severus. he keeps trying to measure the *present* by comparing it to the *past*. and it's just NOT the same at all.

[pekeleke]

True. I think it will take a while for Severus to relax enough to trust Harry's feelings completely. I'm sure Harry understands, though, and Severus is definitely worth the patience...

Thanks, as always, for your very thought out comment. :D

You go, Harry!

[pekeleke]

LOL, yes, Harry is definitely on the right path here. Thanks for your review. ;D

Oh so romantic! Momentarily I am grinning like a loony:)Well phrased Harry!

[pekeleke]

Thanks so much, agneskamilla! I'm thrilled that this piece made you grin. :D

[alisanne]

Awww! You tell him, Harry!
Severus may as well get used to the idea that Harry's not going anywhere. :)
Nicely done!

[pekeleke]

True. Harry is here to stay. I think Severus will take a while to trust Harry completely but, once he does, they'll find proper happiness together. Good thing that Harry is a stubborn gryffindor! ;)

I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Thanks, as always, for your lovely comment.

Go Harry! You tell Severus about where your happiness is!

[pekeleke]

LOL, true. Harry should definitely keep on battering down Severus' doubts. Thanks, as always, for reviewing, shadow. Receiving a comment from you always makes me smile. :)

I love your Harry! :)

[pekeleke]

I'm glad you do. :D

I'm totally in love with your Severus, lol. He is indeed a treasure.

[pekeleke]

Awww, thanks so much, barb. :D

I must say that it was an absolute shock for me to see you reviewing one of my 100's. I don't recall you ever having done that before, but I might be wrong... Now allow me to point out that, although the experience was surprising in itself, it was also both: lovely and very welcome.

Have a great day, my friend, and thanks again for reviewing this little drabble. :D

[barb2210]

Yes, it was the first time ever that I commented on such a tiny fic but I have a very simple yet huge excuse. I don't get enough of your Severus. Lol.

By the way I found the experience quite comfy. Sometimes I just don't have time or not in the mood to read something long but I still want to read a complete story. A 100 words drabble seems to be a perfect solution. Gonna try more. ;-)
