Chapter One: Lesson Plans

They met again in the bookstore turned cafe, neither in a form that would be recognisable to the majority of the wizarding world. Harry was once again under glamour, the same one he had used when he’d met Snape in the club, Severus was dressed as his alter ego Serena, wearing a black knee-length skirt and a silver corset style top. It was about a month after their previous meeting and the school year was once again in session and ‘Serena’ had cut her days at Cabaret Club back to once a week as he had classes to teach.

It was currently a Saturday afternoon and they had met to discuss and arrange Harry’s lessons, Harry made small talk for a while before Severus got impatient asking him what exactly he wanted to learn.  Whether he just wanted to learn how to dress as a woman, act like a woman or sing and speak like a woman.

Harry hadn’t actually thought about what it was that he wanted to learn, that was not the purpose of his lessons, in his eyes anyway, what he wanted to learn was whether or not he was attracted to Snape or if he was now attracted to women. When he had first seen ‘Serena’ she had held no interest for him, which had changed when he found out that ‘Serena’ was in reality Severus. He was now unsure as to whether or not he was just attracted to Severus Snape or if he now liked women. Harry had decided to use the lessons as a means to get close to Severus and find out more about him, in an attempt to figure out his dilemma, so when posed with what he wanted to learn he just smiled, whilst thinking what the best combination would be.

“Everything.” He replied softly, “I want to learn everything, you can teach me.” He had decided that getting Snape to teach him all he knew about being a woman would take a while and give him more time to study the man in front of him.

Severus just nodded before giving Harry a piece of paper with an address on it, they couldn’t meet at Harry’s in case some of his friends dropped by, and Hogwarts was definitely out of the question. He told him to meet him there at nine the next morning before he stood up to leave. Harry stood quickly, thanking ‘Serena’ before walking her to the door and kissing ‘her’ hand goodbye, only to receive a raised eyebrow in return.

Chapter Two:  A Lesson on Grooming

Arriving at the address Severus had given him at nine the next morning Harry couldn’t help but feel nervous, this wasn’t something that he would usually be doing, it’s not every day that a man decides that he wants to learn how to be a woman after all. Harry waited outside until Severus opened the door, walking in he took in his surroundings, Severus had the penthouse apartment in the block. It was large and spacious and looked nothing like what he would have expected from the man, but someone it fitted him and his personality.

Instead of dark black, green and silver, he was greeted by the sight of warm caramel chocolate colours and dark wood bookcases and tables. The living room was furnished just as you would expect of a muggle flat, with less mess however, the place looked impeccable, most likely the work of a house elf.

Severus gestured for him to take a seat before sitting down opposite him, he was once again dressed as Serena, this time in a pair of black jean, some killer heels and a blue camisole top. The man looked at Harry noticing his lack of attention to him, and his interest in his surroundings, he decided to explain.

"This is Serena's flat." Severus spoke, "I can't very well entertain at my home as Severus Snape or at Hogwarts, so I bought this place under the name of Serena, it was also useful for a hideout if necessary during the war."

Harry looked up to him, "You entertain?" he asked trying to be polite, but the incredulousness in his tone was hard to hide. "You never seemed like the type to entertain."

Severus snorted, "No. Severus Snape isn't the type who would entertain, Serena Strahinski on the other hand is a socialite in some ways."

Harry just nodded, finding this the hardest to take in of all the things that he had learnt about the man recently. He gave a small smile before speaking, "Okay, so what is my first lesson then?"

Severus just looked him up and down before speaking, "Grooming yourself as a woman."

"Excuse me?" Harry questioned, "I know how to groom myself thank you."

Severus just snorted, "Yourself maybe, not that it shows with your hair, but you don't know how to groom yourself as a woman."

Harry just glared at him for the comment about his hair but had to concede as both his points were valid. He nodded to him to continue hoping that he would overlook the glare.

"The first thing is body hair, luckily we're wizards, muggle drag queens have to go through torture to groom themselves properly. They use wax and everything." Severus let out a shudder at the idea. "There are spells that will remove body hair, but using the same premise as the wax I created a potion. If you apply this the hair will remove itself, you just apply it wait two minutes then wash it off, the only thing though is that it's permanent unlike the spells which only last two weeks."

Harry just nodded not saying anything as Snape placed the vials of potion of the coffee table between them, he remembered his aunt talking about the pain of waxing and was glad that Severus had come up with a permanent alternative. He tuned back into the conversation in time to hear Severus tell him to keep his nails short and clean and to buy a decent hand cream and a decent moisturiser.

“You also have a choice.” Severus began, “Your hair, you can either grow it out with the use of a potion I’ve made for you, you’d need to find a reason to explain to your friends why you want long hair. Or there is a charm that will lengthen your hair to whatever length you specify, that needs to be reapplied every hour though.”

Harry thought for a moment before deciding that the potion would be the better option, telling Severus this he got a nod in reply. He was then told to follow him, they entered a large bathroom with a sunken tub much like the one in the prefects bathroom. Severus opened a vial before pouring the contents over Harry’s hair, Harry being forced to lean over the sink. He wasn’t sure how the potion would work, they had never been his speciality, he focussed not on how it would grow out his hair but rather the hands that were rubbing the potion through his hair.

Severus’ hands felt amazing, it took all his self-control not to moan at the feeling, and it was over much too quickly. Once Severus removed his hands he could feel the start of the process, his hair seemed to be getting heavier, the extra length providing more weight until his hair reached to his mid-back. Severus pulled out his wand and after asking his preferred length cut Harry’s hair to just below his shoulders.

The rest of the lesson was focussed on taking care of his hair, a lesson Harry would never have expected to receive from Severus Snape. Harry left a few hours after he arrived, with long hair, a pocket full of hair removal potions and more insight into Severus Snape’s life.
