Lucius knew Harry was worried about the reaction from his classmates the next morning when they went to the Great Hall for breakfast but he stopped Harry before they got to their door and pulled him in for a tender kiss.

"Remember your friends and Draco and I are with you Harry. And they aren't muggles. I know Ginny was angry but the school will understand." He assured Harry.

Harry wasn't so sure about that. "I am the golden boy. Everyone expects me to be some playboy. I should have some pretty girl on my arm."

Lucius kissed him. "You can be a gay playboy you know and I happen to think I'd make good arm candy. But I want you to myself, all to myself."

Harry settled into his arms and allowed himself to give in to the gentle reassuring second kiss. He knew Lucius had a point and when the talk died down he should find most people were fine with it. He was worried though about people like Ron and how they would react to the news.

When he entered the hall he was about to find out as Ron came to him. "I can't believe you."

Harry stared at him in shock. "Ron, I never thought you'd have a problem with all of this. Your brother is after all."

Ron smirked. "I have no problem with being gay. I have a problem with who you are shagging and the way you have been leading my sister on."

Harry remembered Ginny's words. "I don't know what Ginny has said to you but I am not involved with anyone. And I never told Ginny once that I liked her."

Ginny had never been anything more then a friend and nearly a little sister to him. He had known she had a crush on him especially after he had saved her back in his second year but he had never returned the feelings and he had never led her on to believe he might have the slightest interest in her in that kind of way.

Ron saw Draco come up behind Harry with Blaise as well. "So you aren't shagging your master's son over there? Yeah right Harry, we're not all fools."

Harry shook his head. "If you think I would shag or even kiss someone I consider to be a brother, then you are a greater fool then I had thought."

Before Ron could respond Harry stormed over to Slytherin with Draco and Blaise in his wake and took his seat there. He had never thought this would become a permanent seating arrangement but right now he had no desire to return to his own house table. He had a feeling that it was not the last he would hear from Ron.

Blaise took a seat next to him. "You know everyone is talking but most people are thinking about what guys they can set you up with."

Pansy nodded from across the table. "You know I have an older brother who is gay and just broke up with a guy. Maybe this summer I can introduce you."

Draco smirked. "He needs someone here at school so he can actually see the person. I mean there are enough of them around, we must be able to find one for Harry."

Harry groaned and buried his head in his hands. He wasn't sure what he would have thought people would be shooting daggers at him and looking at his own table and some of the other tables, there were a few but he had never imagined he would have them trying to set him up on dates. The way Draco and even Hermione who had joined them at the table were talking, he had a feeling that he would have guys thrown at him soon enough.

He was rescued by the arrival of the owl post and was surprised to find two letters delivered for him. "The Weasleys really like me. Two from them."

Hermione looked up surprised. "Molly I would assume would write if she found out but whom else?"

Harry smiled as he looked down at the letter. "Charlie and from the looks of it Oliver as well. I knew from the twins that the two of them were dating."

Harry read the letters and was surprised to find out that after what had gone down in the hall the day before Lucius had actually contacted the twins when he had been in the room of requirements and the twins had told their mom and Charlie. Molly assured Harry of their love and just like she was happy for Charlie and Oliver, she was behind Harry as well. Charlie and Oliver said much the same thing but they also had some amazing news for him as well.

Harry looked up with a smile. "Seems like my brother finally got off his butt and did it. He proposed to Oliver and they are getting married on New Years' Eve."

Hermione beamed at that. "Charlie always seemed like a great guy and I know you think of Oliver as much like a brother as Charlie. They make such a cute couple."

Harry nodded. "Oliver says since he has no brothers he wants me to serve as his best man considering how close we were and that I am like a brother to Charlie."

Draco and Hermione shared a smile with each other and they knew that Oliver had done what none of the others had managed, to make Harry relax. Usually Oliver would have asked Harry in person but having heard what he was going through, he had thought Harry was in need of some news to cheer him up. Bill would be serving as Charlie's best man and Harry seemed a good choice. Oliver had already decided to ask him before the twins had told them about last night.

Draco turned to him. "Well now that you look like you're not about to go to your execution how about we get to classes or we will be in detention tonight."

Harry smiled and followed his two friends. "I think I actually get to have my first duelling practice finally with Lucius and I don't want to miss it again."

Since quidditch would not start until the weekend even for try outs Harry had his evenings free and he was looking forward to duelling even more, not only the excitement of before but also as a distraction from the rest of this.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Lucius smiled as he looked at Harry. They had been working on duelling for two hours that evening and he could see Harry had a real knack for it. Harry was definitely a beginner but his skill in DADA and charms was obvious. He had managed to block several spells from Lucius though he did not hit him with any.

Lucius reached down to help Harry stand up after he had been knocked down with a jelly legs curse and it had worn off. "You are doing amazing."

Harry shook his head. "I have not managed to hit you once and have blocked three of over twenty spells. I think you're just a bit blinded."

Lucius kissed him. "I might be in love with you but I definitely am not blind. You forget that I was a duelling champion and have been doing this for years."

Harry knew that it made sense. "Well how about one more try before we call it a night? I mean I'd like one more chance to try and get a spell past you."

Lucius agreed though he knew that it would take some weeks before Harry was able to. He just had every intention of making good on his promise to make use of the mats for another reason and tonight he was not going to be waylaid from their fun. Harry's little challenge gave him an idea. Harry managed a half decent attempt at a body bind charm but he blocked it easily and sent one of his own at Harry.

When Harry was on the ground he smiled and moved to Harry and kissed him gently. "I think I like this use of mats much better then duelling."

Harry smirked at him. "Having to take advantage of your lover when he is in a full body bind? I thought you were braver then that."

Lucius slowly removed the body bind but he vanished both their clothes with a wave of his wand. "I don't think I need to put a spell on you to make love to you."

Harry pulled him down into a kiss. "You know I have been more then willing to come to your bed and arms at night. You need no charms."

Lucius ran his tongue down his lover's now naked throat. "I might not but I hope my actual charm and not the contract will bring you to my bed and arms soon."

Harry had given in to it enough to admit he was finding pleasure in the sex, not just his body responding to it but he didn't think that Lucius would ever get his wish, that Harry would ever want to be with him of his own total free will. Whether he got pleasure from this or not, he was still fulfilling his contract. He had agreed to let himself open up to it and allow Lucius to care for him emotionally and mentally as well as physically but he knew Lucius was asking for more.

Lucius stopped his attack on Harry's body for a moment. "I think I will let you choose. Should I start on this your nice little nipples or higher, with those earlobes."

"Earlobes." Harry moaned as his body was responding to his lover's hand which had gone to his penis and was already caressing it.

Lucius had known the answer, knew his little lover could not resist an attack on his most tender parts. "As you wish."

Nibbling on Harry's right earlobe he took great pleasure in both the moans coming deep from his lover's throat and from the hardening of the shaft in his hand. He had teased Harry enough the day before nibbling on his ear before sending him off for dinner. Tonight he'd not be a tease. As Harry grew harder and panted for release Lucius decided to play a bit longer his mouth continuing his attack down Harry's neck, sinking into the lovely flesh of Harry's collar bone. Harry's back arched slightly as he bit into one of Harry's nipples and made it grow nice and hard.

He pulled back a moment as he heard Harry hiss from the sensation. "Did my little lion like that one? I think I am turning you into a snake."

As Lucius went to elicit the same response with Harry's second nipple Harry moaned. "Yes."

As his mouth was getting further and further down his hand began pumping up and down on Harry's shaft and as his tongue stopped dipping in and out of Harry's bellybutton, he knew his little lover was ready for his release and he lowered his mouth over the shaft and it took only seconds for Harry to reach climax. He cleaned his lover off and then went up to kiss Harry warmly on the lips, tongue sliding easily in as Harry's lips parted to let his in.

As he drew away he decided to continue asking. "Now my little lover would you like to take you like this or on your knees so I can kiss that beautiful back."

Harry was coming down from his own climax so it took a few moments to respond. "Knees."

Lucius smiled as he pulled Harry up and Harry took his place on his hands and knees. He was already lost himself and had not reached for his wand to lubricate but Harry had definitely loosened nicely and there was only a gasp of pleasure from Harry as he pushed into his young lover. He kept his promise and as he pumped inside of Harry he gently kissed Harry along his back while one hand went under Harry and gently pumped Harry but Harry was already growing hard on his own and they reached an amazing climax at the same time.

As he withdrew Lucius finally grabbed for his wand and cleaned them. "I'd definitely like a few more rounds but how about we move this to our bedroom?'

Harry looked almost reluctant to leave the mats but he nodded. "I suddenly agree with you that I wish our apartments were attached."

Lucius helped his little lover get up after returning their clothes and he almost regretted his choice to move them back to their rooms but he planned on hours of love making and they could definitely not spend the night in a room attached to his classroom.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Harry managed to avoid either Weasley for the rest of the week and while he got a few dirty looks early on, Lucius had been right and the talk died down. Other then his friends trying to set him up, no one seemed to treat him any different really. He had seemed to have made a permanent move to Slytherin though for Ron and Ginny as well as Dean and Seamus who seemed to believe Ron's lies about him being with Draco, were making it just too uncomfortable

Luna looked at Harry on Friday. "You know you really look green around the gills Harry. Are you sure you're feeling well?"

Harry nodded. "I think I have a bit of the flu bug, the smell of the food is just making me a bit queasy. I hope it goes away, I have try outs tonight for my team."

Luna shot him a worried look but let it pass for now. "I guess. I mean I know there were a few people in my house who have had the flu."

Harry knew from her tone of voice though that she wasn't exactly assured and when she decided to accompany him to his try outs that evening he was even more suspicious of what she had on her mind but he again let it pass. Harry had made it known to his players that everyone of them were up for being replaced if they did not perform in try outs, so it was not only the people trying out for the new spots but his old players as well who took to the air for scrimmages that night.

Harry turned to Katie as they hit the air. "Where is Ginny? I thought I made it clear that everyone had to be here for try outs tonight or they'd not be on the team."

Katie shrugged and pointed to where the try out keepers were as well. "I noticed her brother is not here. I'm surprised after last year, how well they both played."

Harry sighed and shook his head. "Well I announced it to the entire house so no one can say keeping them off the team is me holding some kind of grudge."

Moments later though a red head appeared and it was Ron but there was no sign of Ginny and he knew he was going to have to stick to his word and find a replacement chaser for the team. With only Katie left he had been counting on Ginny no matter how she had been acting lately, to be on the team.

He called the players over after about two hours. "The results will be posted in the next few days in Gryffindor and we will have our next practice on Wednesday."

The players were trying to collect the balls and get them back into the trunk and Harry heard Lavender call out. "Harry watch out, a bludger is coming at you."

Sure enough when Harry turned to see a bludger instead of being captured by Ron to be put in the box had been hit by his friend who had some how got his hands on one of the practice beater sticks, and it was flying right at Harry. Normally he would have avoided it with ease but he had been hit with a suddenly bad fit of light headedness and he nearly blacked out even before the bludger had hit him hard in the right shoulder.

The last thing he heard before he passed out and fell from his broom was someone screaming. "No."

Harry had no idea how long he was out but when he woke his entire body was in pain and since his glasses were not on he could not make sense of anything but someone pressed his glasses into his hand he saw Luna next to him and saw he was in the hospital wing.

Luna looked worried. "Harry you should have been able to avoid that bludger Ron sent at you. You're sicker then you told me. It's not the flu is it?"

Harry looked at her and he knew what she was thinking and his stomach lurched with the thought. "You think I am pregnant don't you? Oh God Luna, what if I am?"

Harry was shocked from the look in Luna's face. He had thought some of his friends might be horrified by the thought he was pregnant but to see his sister looking like that, he was suddenly scared. Her words though as they waited for Poppy come to check up on him, shocked him to the core.

"You better not be or I will hex that man's balls off." Luna swore loudly and Poppy who had come in looked just as shocked by her outburst as Harry did.
