STILL NO BETA CURRENTLY. STILL SEARCHING FOR A BETA.

Enjoy

The past few days flew by and the engaged couple spent time together. Harry recalling the day he told Severus how their relationship can work out and the reaction shows the dominant the side he has never seen before.

Severus sipping his hot drink and hasn't spoken a single word since Harry lets him rests up from his first punishment from his dominant. The dominant notices his fiancée in silence and has not looked into his eyes, which warrants attention towards something. Harry sips his tea and sets it down while holding the cup for its warmth.

"Sev," His head shaking, "What's on your mind?"

The Pure being glances up and meets his lover's eyes. He frowns, but slowly draws into concern all over his face. Severus holds his cup closely and weighs in his words.

"You've had pets and rules. I've only gathered a few rules from you, are there more that I should be aware of?"

Harry straighten his back and finding himself surprised by this, "Why are you concern?"

Severus glances down at his tea, "I do not wish to make mistakes. I should have informed Lucius of my intent of approaching you and finding a way to be your submissive mate."

That tugs Harry's lips and moves one of his hand to reach out to hold Severus', "Those people I called my pets were not a relationship. It was only to have a fuckable time and those rules are more of boundaries between them and me." Harry sighs, "You're not considered my pet, but much better. I am in a relationship with you and you are a lover. This means, I have to know your boundaries personally and eventually find something to compromise. There are some rules I do prefer you to know, but I'm not sure if it is needed."

"But," Severus notices the way Harry holds his hand and soothes the back of his hand with a thumb, "…what if I have done something wrong and upset you?"

Harry gently squeezes the man's hand, "We will talk about it. You are intelligent enough to know to address the problem. Right now, we're only engaged for one day and I'd like to know what you're like personally in a relationship. If there is a rule I feel that you need to know, you will know." Smiling softly.

Severus finds himself surprised, startled by Harry's input of his thoughts and consideration of their newly-found relationship. The way Harry made him feel secured and informed of the set up how this relationship will work out.

Harry couldn't help to think back at day one and how Severus wanted to know. The couple spent their days as they have in the past summer, only more interaction like Harry kisses him with a tease or Severus would challenge him on practicing a spell for the wand-in-the-arm that leads him proud to be with a dominant.

Severus brewing a fresh batch of potions before school begins and placing potion brew into the vials. He sets them into the package safely and continues to fill the boxes up. Harry reads over the instruction of a spell he used to do regularly and understanding the concept before performing. He would do simple spells, then a challenging one to keep on track of the work and covered his mistakes over anything.

Makana runs around the place while avoiding Severus' space to prevent any incidents, especially could revert to her human form. She finally slows down and realizes something. She notices Severus is too busy setting things up and that Harry is retraining himself his skills, this seems to be difficult way to approach. She sits down by the exits and purrs softly. Severus glances up and understands what she's expressing and turns to Harry.

"Do you mind taking her outside? It will only require a few minutes and there is a stairway on the left next to the door and leads to outside and back in." Placing a cork into the vial and sets them in the box carefully.

Harry picks up his head and blinks, "I don't see why not, sure." He releases the spell and opens the door for the fox.

Makana follows Harry to the stairs and remains by his side. Harry chuckles to see how loyal and clever she is, especially without a leash or command. They reached outside and Makana runs to the bushes. Harry leans against the Hogwarts' castle like wall and waits for the fox to finish her task.

"Ouch!" Feeling a heavy slam against his leg and quickly looks down to see bright brown fox with hint of orange on its snout, "You didn't see where you were going, didn't you?" Harry kneels down, "Need protection or something?" He glances around to see any other creatures coming out.

The fox stares at him at such amazement and keeps sitting in front of the human. Harry offers his hand and allows the little fox to sniff him out. The fox notices and slowly moves its snout to sniff. Then, suddenly shoves its snout onto the palm to completely absorb the scent in and follows it immediately. Harry blinks and watches the fox follows a trail of something until the bush. As he slowly realizes, this one knows there is another fox and a squeal is follow out from Makana. Makana runs straight to the Gryffindor and leaps high enough to get Harry's instinct to catch her as he almost didn't. The brown-orange fox chases after her and stood a few feet away.

The mysterious fox sits down and tilts their head curiously at both of them. Harry chuckles and pets Makana to ease her down, which she's anxiously trembling and trying to back further by settling onto Harry's neck. Harry has no idea that she's capable of settling onto his neck like this and understands that she's trying to protect herself.

"…I'm assuming he's a male, isn't it, Makana?"

Makana licks Harry's ear and he learned to understand how she communicates. When she licks, it's her way of saying yes. If she softly bites him, it would be a no. He glances down at the male fox and realizes his' intention.

"Sorry, little guy, she's not interested and prefers her owner." Harry decides to carefully eye the fox for Makana's sake and goes back inside Hogwarts.

Unfortunately, the male fox is quick enough to sneak right in and follows Harry inside the school. This isn't good, Harry thought and realizing that Severus might not be happy about this. He stops moving and the little fox almost got far ahead until he realizes. Harry picks up his wand arm and performs a spell non-verbally and magically sent the fox outside. Soon enough, he could hear the fox squealing and surprised reaction to his environmental changes. Makana finally eases up and curls up to Harry. She licks his face continuously without a stop and Harry chuckling along to her way of appreciation. He speaks the password to the portrait and Severus picks up his head.

"You were only gone for five minutes and she's licking you senselessly? Why?" Severus sets the box on the counter with five other boxes of various potion batches prepared.

Harry sighs, "Another fox showed up and wanted Makana for mating. I can tell she's not interested and it was trying to follow us here. So, I sent the guy outside and she's all calmed down now."

Severus blinks, "Interesting." Noticing Makana who seems to be worried about having litters, which he didn't blame her, "Thank you for saving her from the other fox, she's skeptical to other animals."

Harry scoops her off his neck and shoulder and holds her in his arms, "Well, I figured she prefers you over the fella fox." He shrugs.

Severus shrugs, "She's clever enough to know what she wants."

Harry agrees and walks over to the couch to sit down with the fox. He pets her and she snuggles into his arm comfortably as she wraps herself up.

"She's such a good pet, I wonder what her previous owner did to her," Harry commented.

Severus blinked, "What makes you say that?"

The dominant glances down, "Because…pets are trained how to behave and the way she was shaken up by the other fox, it seems like she was surrounded by the ones that don't like her much. She went to you because she trusts you that you will not hurt her and knows that you are a man of respect." Stroking her ears gently and hearing her purring heavily.

The Pure Being looks at her, "…do I need to be trained how to behave?"

Harry jerks his head up and the puzzling look shows Severus that led to questions to begin.

Harry tilts his head at the man, "Severus, what's going on?"

He shakes his head, "It is nothing," Turns around and continues stocking the batches into the boxes.

Makana notices and leaps out of his arms. Harry gets up, joins Severus' side, and cups the man's chin to move towards his direction.

"What's wrong, Severus, why do you feel I have to train you to behave?" Harry frowns.

Severus tries to read something into his eyes, but could not find it, "Harry, you have rules for all those former pets and I only know a few. How am I supposed to know how to behave in our relationship?"

Harry sighs, "Training is like learning how to perform a task. You aren't a task, Severus," Softly smiling, "Besides, you are considered as my lover and we're only been together for half a week now. Rules for you wouldn't be fair, it has to be for both. Why do you want to be trained to behave?"

Severus' shoulders drop, "I don't feel you are securing me. The headmaster always ensure I do I am told and follow orders, even the Dark Lord expects me to do as I am told. Aren't you supposed to tell me an example or expectations?"

Harry decided words wouldn't be enough and pulls the man's chin closer to his face. He leans in and latches onto his lips. Severus follows the lead and feeling the tingly sensation, urging to allow Harry into his mouth, and trusts his instinct. The dominant pins him against the counter and grips the back the man's neck and hair to prevent him moving forward. The other hand holds onto his face and refuses to move at all. Severus grips both of his lover's wrists and follows the tongue's lead of his dominant's.

The submissive mate feels the tingling sensation running through his body and Harry's physical way of claiming him naturally. The urges that screams for more desperately of the affection taking place and Harry continues to so. Suddenly, the swift of cold air and goose bumps rising within few seconds, yet, a warm body settling the chilliness around him.

The dominant breaks apart and both gasping for air, which leads to Harry smirking away at his sight. He lowers the Pure being's chin down to reveal their clothes are gone and Severus' eyes widened.

"What…how…I-I do not understand?" He looks back up at his mate.

The Gryffindor nods, "You just want a physical affection and you had the need of being wanted. I assume these rules I had formally of my ex-pets had bothered you and that I gave them rules as expected. You want the rules to feel something, correct?"

The man blinks a couple of times, "Yes…"

Harry's thumb soothes the man's cheek, "You've never had sex before and you weren't allowed until after you have earned a career. What are you craving?"

Still refusing to let Harry's wrists go, "To tell me what I need to do, feeling your power over me, and knowing you have me under your control."

Harry reads into his dark onyx eyes, "How do you want me to do that?"

Severus frowns, "I'm not certain. I'm always listening to commands and I wish to go beyond the command to show my capabilities, knowing they would be pleased or satisfied."

Harry grips tightly onto his dark hair, "Like this, making you stay right where you are? I kiss you and letting me devour you into a deep kiss?" Lifting the hair up a little and Severus followed the motion immediately, but feeling something he liked from Harry, "Perhaps, a good fuck?" He smirks, "Right here, on your potion brewing table?"

The pale cheeks colors up brightly when Harry challenges him and slowly gulp to be ready to respond. Harry sees the reaction and leads him to the table without waiting to hear a single word. Severus' back against the table and feeling cold table and the vials rolling around. Harry holds his head still and admires his view in front.

"I think…a good ride will do you good." Harry saddled the man's butt onto the table and forced his legs apart, "You're ready," He hums curiously.

The Pure Being turns confused and wondering what Harry attempting this way. All he knows that Harry will be fucking him in this spot as a promise kept to be fucked everywhere and time is pointless. Harry guides Severus' hand onto his member and shows him how to stroke with a grip.

"You need to get me hard, Sev," Harry whispers into his ear, "Keep stroking me fast and good and I'll fuck you really good that I will stop with your safe word. Have you thought of one?"

Severus blinks and looks up at his dominant. No one has ever thought of allowing him to have power to end it when it is necessary. He nods and understands that Harry is helping learn something in his behalf of the role.

"Pumpkin." He waits.

Harry nods, "Is this a temporary safe word or a permanent one?"

Severus frowns, "Why do you ask?"

The Gryffindor guides him to stroke continuously, "Sometimes, things change and it is important to recognize a word in actual situation that needs to be stop and drop everything to focus on what matters. Say, if you change it often, I will be focusing to hear that word. If it is the same, I will focus and remember the safe word for any reasons."

The man hums, "I suppose permanent and it is a simple safe word to use. No one will suspect and believes I'm cursing more appropriately than actual cussing words. I do occasionally use potion ingredients to curse."

Harry grins, "Clever." Glances down, "I believe that's enough, ready to get on and ride hard?"

Severus gulps and tries to understand Harry's sexual words, but knowing that he would be expected to experience something than hearing it. Harry's hands and arms wraps around the man's legs and pulls him closely. Then, release his hand to move his member and slips into the anal. The emerald eyes look up at the onyx eyes and see he's observing what is taking place.

"Now, I'm picking you up and holding you. You will bounce up and down while I fuck into you. You can use my shoulders and all of that."

Severus couldn't believe his ears that there are ways to be creative with sex and trusts Harry to do actual activity.

… … …

The potion brewing station turns into the biggest mess and it is clear Makana hidden away the entire time. Severus on the table on his back and seeing Harry giving him the last thrust into him to hear those deep moans. The member exploded deeply into Severus' arse and keeps him all warm. Harry pulls away with a dripping trail and admires his view once more.

"Feel a lot better that I control your body during fuckable time?"

Severus catching his breath, "Yes…but, my-

-I know, your potion stuff, which I will replace everything." He hums, "Do I need to make a schedule or do it when you know you need to feel that again?"

Severus frowns, "I'd say a schedule," And yelps briefly.

Harry yanks him closer, "That means I will keep it to a schedule, even during school hours and class time."

The man shudders, "No."

"Alright, when you need to feel that again is the solution." Harry grins, "But, fair warning, I will fuck you in your lecture day that you will not be allowed to dismiss your students."

"But how? They are not allowed to see any sexual activities going on in front of them."

A smirk adds up, "Invisible Cloak I happen to possess and own."

Severus jerks his head back, "How in the name of Merlin do you have the cloak?"

Harry hums, "Someone borrowed it from my dad and felt the need to return to the rightful owner, which is me. I guess it's been in the generations for the longest possible."

Severus opens up and follows out a loud purr. Harry and Severus glances over and glance back at each other. Harry's hand twists to have a robe cover up for them to have and they walk over to locate the loud sound. They headed into Harry's former room and finds two foxes having a mating moment. The thought runs the worse possible thoughts for Severus and knowing the truth behind it.

"How did this fox-

-GET OFF YOU FILTHY FOX! OFF MY MAKANA!" Severus rushes over and collects Makana for the save.

She curls up into arms while the other fox quickly runs over to the other side of the bedroom. The male fox sits under the desk and watches Makana as if he's proud to mate with her already. Harry has not seen this side of Severus before and takes consideration that he's protective of his pet. Although, he has notices the unexpected fox is trying to provide protection by hiding under the desk.

"Last time I check, aren't magical foxes usually in south America and not Europe?" He decides to approach the unnamed fox and sees this one cowards toward the corner.

Severus dashes out the room, "Get rid of him! I want him out of my quarter!"

The ears back up and flatten down in fear, lowering onto the floor, and trying to avoid being touch. Harry frowns and did not understand why this one suddenly afraid. He sits down and slowly approaches the little one.

"It's okay, I won't hurt you," He shushes, "Sev is just protective of Makana," He whispers, "Come here. You just wanted someone to love, don't you?"

The fox looks at him and glances at the door. He shook his head and remains where he is. The soft and gentle whimper is clear to Harry that he did not want to be in trouble or harm. Harry stops moving closer and only provides little space. He decides to tap into his new wand arm ability and test it. He closes his hands and imagines something he's needing important. Harry slowly separates his hands and making an actual soft blanket in blue. Once the blanket is big, Harry lets his magic finishes the edges to finalize. He sets the blanket down and moves it towards the fox.

The fox sniffs the blanket and senses no harm will be happening. He looks up at Harry curiously and still did not move. Somehow, Harry begins to wonder if there are similar owners that Makana had, but fearful of something or someone? He suspects this fox must have had abusive owner.

"Someone must have hurt you so bad that you don't generally trust a lot of people, do you?" Harry felt terrible for the fox, "You can have my room. Maybe I can convince Severus to have you here until I find someone to look after you. Just stay away from her, bad idea."

The fox looks up at him, then the blanket, and back at him again. Harry softly chuckles and understands the fox might not know what to do.

"It's your blanket. Will you wait here and not go after her?"

It whines, but there is a tone that signals Harry to understand. Harry nods and gets up slowly not to scare the new fox. The further Harry is, the fox pulls the blanket as a bed, and watches Harry in fear. Harry leaves the bedroom and closes the door. He goes to the other bedroom and finds Severus holding Makana in comfort. Her face hidden in his arms and his head shaking to sympathize her situation.

"She doesn't trust any other animal." Severus shakes his head, "I wish we had known what is happening and prevent that."

Harry frowns, "But they mate. It's what we were just doing for the past two hours."

Severus tries to find a way to explain it, but he knows Harry doesn't know that it is actually Hermione.

"Still, I gave her a home for her to feel safe and I failed her."

Harry sighs, "Because she's like a baby to you." He hugs himself, "I think that other fox was raised with an abusive owner. He's terrified of us humans now, but he trusts her for a reason. He went mad over the scent of Makana and he likes her. Animals usually know the right mate, like you know I'm the right mate to you."

The man sits still and slowly glares at Harry as he realizes. Harry didn't know where this is coming from and decides to wait.

"You kept that filthy fox in there, didn't you?"

Harry shrugs, "So? He's terrified."

"Good. Enough to stay the hell away from her." Holding her much closely.

Harry scoffs, "Fine. I'll train him to stay away from her."

"Absolutely not! He is not allowed here and needs to go back outside where he belongs." He seethed.

"He's staying!" Harry leaves the bedroom and heads over to the former bedroom.

Once Harry is in the other room, Severus closes the door magically and silence the room from being heard inside. He secured the door to be locked for now and removes the collar from the fox.

Hermione in tears and weeps into Severus' arms. He lets her express it and comforts her throughout horrid she went through.

"Sev…I…isn't…isn't it obvious?" She whimpers.

Severus holds her tightly, "What, Hermione? That he thinks he is right?"

Her head shakes and gulps heavily, "It's Draco, he claimed me as a fox. He said that he tried nearly every way to locate me, but it failed. He thought transforming into a fox with my scent on a side, he'd be able to locate me better."

That sends a cold shiver down his spine and realizes Harry understands how mating work, despite of the disguises going on. She sniffles and tries to wipe her tears away.

"It was animal instinct that took over, but my human self was in shock. I've become so used to being Makana, that when we mated…"

"It woke you up to realize you're human as well." His head shakes, "Great…I think I've destroyed our relationship."

Hermione sniffs a couple of times, "No. What you had is an argument like any. Harry is caring about animals, notices how he analyzes the possible lifestyles that we could have had? He pays attention to these signs because no one else has…but I need to explain to idiotic fox that I'm busy being your mediator or send him to Ron."

"And you do realize Aleev creatures are depended on their mate? I've traumatized him with my protectiveness over you and demanding him out and he needs you to comfort him that I will do no harm, only upset that I was worried it might destroy your sense of safety."

The witch breathes in his words and finding information helpful. A world where it is not easy to deal situation like this and trying to fix the damages that already occur. She sighs and glances out the door.

"He basically marked me as his, assuring that I know that. I will work on him, you focus on Harry, alright?"

Severus grimaces at the fact their argument did not help at all, but he finds it usual that Harry did not tell him it is a rule or a demand that fox is staying. He chooses to make his own decision and allows him to have decisions as well, which means Harry expects Severus to compromise in their relationship. No one has ever given him choices before doing anything else or hear what he thinks about something particular.

For now, he comforts the witch for the night while Harry sleeps in the other room with the other fox of animagus. This is only beginning to challenge everything around them and Draco has truly messed up.
