Disclaimer: All characters from Harry Potter belong to JK Rowling and Warner Brothers. I'm just an obsessed maniac who is also an insomniac thanks to the voices in her head. The Thistleton Hotel really exists and I have never been in there. I am not making any money out of this and use the Hotel name purely because it was in the right local and I liked how it looked from the outside. Trust me, if you try to sue me, it won't get you any money cos I'm dirt broke already!

A/N: Hi guys, I'm soo sorry this is late. I know I promised you all Sunday but Harry and Lucius just wanted to snog all day long and not help me with this so I was lacking a muse. This chapter is rather short so to make up for it I'm giving you all two chapters again! Now, time to reply to your reviews.Sayan, here ya go, hope this is what you were waiting for.
Sylvanus Snape, I am honored that my fic is the first HP/LM you're reading... Jumps around screaming "I'm a corrupter!!! YAY!!!"
Raen, Thanks for the Ang Pau! Where are you from? I was missing my family and moaning the fact that I spent CNY at home alone which is why I was too depressed to write. Thanks though, you made my day!! The only Ang Pau for me this year.
LilyTiger20, TimberFox, SakuraKawaiiCherry, Dhracian-Celestine, Bad-Ass Cinderella, here ya go, thanks so much for reviewing!!
Saavik, I'll have you know your review totally changed the plot for this chapter... So, I dedicate this chapter to you dearie, as well as my Darling Darth Vader, Please get better soon my love...
XoX glad to know I managed to influence your mind! heheheh.
Kandra, don't die, here's the next chapter and the one after that.
Like I've said before, the chapters kinda write themselves and seem to come to a natural stopping point every time. I think that's cos Harry and Lucius get sick of playing muse for me and want to get back to their snogging sessions so they end it where they see fit. Sorry. I'll try though to make it longer. Not this chapter though. Well, anyways... here you go, on with the story.... Hope you all enjoy it and let me know what you think. Review please!!
Suite 7310, Thistleton Hotel, Bayswater, London. Flashback
Gathering up his courage, and dispelling his reluctance, Harry walked towards the closed bedroom door and knocked softly while turning the door knob. "Mr. Malfoy? You in there? We need to talk..." He started to say, but the muted click of the locked door interrupted him.
Sighing, he knocked again, " Mr. Malfoy, this isn't going to make things better. We are going to live here for the next three weeks and I'd prefer not to have this hanging between us for the rest of my holiday. If anything we need to talk about how we are going to get through this intact and also about my lessons. Mr. Malfoy? Sir? I'm going to use Alohomora if you don't open up."
Readying his wand, Harry prepared to unlock the door, refusing to allow the man to wallow and sulk all day. However, before he could cast the spell, the door unlocked with a sharp click. Relieved at not having to use force and disturb the other man's privacy, Harry couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret that he didn't get to use his magic. After not being allowed to for so long, it felt like he was whole again the minute he gripped his wand.
Opening the door, Harry walked into the room saying, "Sir, I'm sorry I deceived you....Wha??!!" Before he could go on further, he had to jump into his battle stance, wand arm busy flicking and swishing, sending up a shield charm to deflect the stunner that Lucius had sent his way. ' Thank God for the extra training with Snape! What is this guy playing at. Is he double crossing the order??' Before he could ruminate further, the shield that he had constructed shattered and he found himself lying on the floor wrapped in magical bonds which tightened every time he struggled.
" Well, well, well, Mr. Potter. I frankly, am very disappointed in you and Severus' teachings. Your shield was ridiculous. Draco would have gotten through that instantly. Not to mention fazing out in the middle of a duel. Useless boy. I doubt you will ever amount to anything at this rate!" The scornful voice of Lucius Malfoy reached Harry's ears as he struggled to get out of the restrictive bonds.
Finally, with a snarled spell and a twist, Harry managed to break the enchantment and sprang up, wand already flicking a hex at the blond wizard. Lucius however, was not fazed the least, softly chanting a counter curse and immediately sent another magical binding curse at the boy. While Harry avoided the curse with his much vaunted seeker skills and shot a jinx at Malfoy, he was unaware that Lucius had weaved his own special twist into the spell, making it reverse course and hit Harry in the back, effectively binding him yet again.
This time however, Harry didn't bother struggling. Instead, he just lay there and glared at Malfoy. "What the FUCK is your problem Malfoy? I'm trying to be nice here. We are on the same side. You don't have to be a bastard to me anymore. No one's gonna know."
However, his opening gambit failed yet again as Malfoy just snarled and bared his teeth, advancing threateningly. " You think you know everything don't you Potter? Think the whole world bows down before you to worship the Boy-Who-Can-Do-No-Wrong? Well, think again. You are nothing but an annoying little Mudblood to me. And if you think I'm going to follow the masses and worship you think again. I am a Malfoy! My bloodline has been a part of the wizarding world longer then time itself! There was a Malfoy living and ruling during the time of Merlin and there will always be a Malfoy. I am better then you boy and if you think you are going to use what you have heard over the past week against me you had better run while you can. No one would believe you and before you've had time to convince them, I'll have killed you. You are a useless boy. Fame you've never earned, power you cannot even handle. What makes you think that a Malfoy like me, would ever want you to be nice? Never ever allude to us having something in common ever again, much less say we are on the same side you worthless boy."
Malfoy advanced on him ominously, continuing his tirade and spitting out insults and calling Harry a useless boy. Expecting the boy to snarl back and defend himself, Lucius was shocked when the green eyes glazed over and the boy began trying to curl up upon himself, rocking slightly. Shocked, Lucius froze, uncertain of what to do.
That was the scene Severus Snape found himself right smack in the middle of when he apparated into the hotel room.
