Chapter 5 – The Party

Harry eyed the mansion nervously. Huge stone walls framed warmly glowing windows, beyond which shapes were moving about in every room. Earlier he had felt ridiculous as Severus dressed him up for the event, but Harry was now glad that he had been so firm about it. Even in these nice clothes, he would feel distinctly under dressed in such a grand place.

"You look delicious, don't worry." Severus reassured him after reading his expression.

"I'm not sure that 'delicious' is how I want to look. But at least I don't look too scruffy..." They reached the open doors and stepped inside, being greeted at once but a very well groomed Madame Midcarde, who glittered under the chandelier light.

"Welcome, Severus and Harry. What a pleasure! Please come in, make yourselves at home…" She led them to the main dining hall and left them to greet the other guests.

Harry stayed close to Severus' side; some faces around him he recognised as death eaters, most however he didn't know. They wound their way lazily through the party, Severus greeting each group of guests politely and making small talk before continuing. Harry stayed quiet but did his best to look calm and relaxed, feeling very out of place in such glamour. All the guests were immaculately dressed and carried themselves with pride. It wasn't long before they were approached by two blondes Harry had been hoping to avoid.

"Severus, Harry. I see you made it." Lucius drawled.

"Indeed." Snape answered. Harry bit back a "No, duh", feeling this response would not be appropriate in the current environment.

Lucius slid his cold eyes over Harry's body, a slight smirk turning up the corners of his mouth.

"I see Severus worked hard in dressing you for the occasion, Harry. You look good enough to eat. Severus, I was hoping I could arrange with you to borrow your young toy sometime for a few hours." Harry felt his body stiffen with shock at this statement but did his best not to react otherwise visibly.

"I'm afraid I don't like to share my property." Snape replied coolly, giving away no emotion.

"I would make an exchange, of course. Draco would be at your service for the duration." Draco's eyes slid to the floor, his face hardening into a mask of carelessness. Harry suspected this was not the first time he had heard his body on offer, and felt slightly sick at the thought.

"Tempting though Draco may be, I must respectfully decline."

"What about some entertainment then? Watch Harry and Lisa here engage in some… activities? Oh I seem to have forgotten my manners… have you met Draco's young wife? This is Lisa Harving. Very noble family, they were simply delighted to marry her into our wealth." Lucius preened. The young girl in question was standing next to Draco with terror shining in her eyes. She had fair hair and large, innocent blue eyes that glanced at Harry. She gave Harry a tentative smile then looked at Draco questioningly, clearly wondering if her new husband would protect her. Draco continued to stare at the floor.

"That would count as sharing." Severus stated, although his voice still carried no emotion, Harry thought he detected a slight hint of annoyance coming from the man.

"Pity." Lucius gave a slight bow in Snapes direction and beckoned Draco to follow as he glided away into the crowd.

Later in the evening…

"I'll get us both another drink, wait here." Severus commanded, heading for the refreshment table. Harry waited near the wall, pretending to examine a pot plant with large purple flowers… and teeth.

"Harry?" a nervous voice asked. He turned to face it; it belonged to Draco's wife. The young girl curtseyed to him then began to speak. "Could you come with me? Please? There is something you need to see."

"Sorry, but we'll have to wait for Severus. He'll be back in just a moment."

"No you NEED to come now, please." Harry sighed, he didn't wait to make his husband angry, but the urgency in her voice spurred him to follow when she tugged on his hand.

"Its just in here." She had led him into a short corridor then into a dark room. Once the door shut behind them a light came on. He froze in shock at the scene before him, Lucius Malfoy was sitting with his wand aimed at a bound and gagged Draco.

"Oh very good Lisa. I knew you could do it. And as I promised – Draco will be yours again, unharmed." A light flick of his wand released Draco who scrabbled to his feet and ran to stand behind Harry. While he was speaking Harry grabbed his wand from his robe pocket and aimed it at the older man. "Now now Harry, I just want to be friends…" A slow smile twisted his lips.

"Snape will be looking for me, I need to go…" He tried to back up but felt Draco's wand prick him in the back. He quickly threw a stun and Lucius, ducked, and spun around to aim a second spell at Draco, as he did so Draco's stunning spell hit him straight in the face.

Blackness.

Voices, he was being lifted, carried, and laid down. Why couldn't he move? He opened his eyes to see his bound hands in front of him on the bed, he was on his stomach. He felt the feeling rush back into his body as the body bind curse lifted. He also felt his robes being pulled up.

"Finally get to try the famous Harry Potter." Lucius was mumbling breathlessly from behind Harry. He heard clothing drop to the floor and hands grip his bare hips.

Nooooo! He tried to scream but a gag in his mouth prevented it. "Delicious creamy skin… such a fresh prize. Severus hasn't had you long enough yet to have fucked you proper. I'll show you how a real man does things." Harry felt the thick tip nudging his hole, demanding access. He tried to kick and writhe but the mans body covered his and he was heavy.

Abruptly the door burst open and Harry saw blue fire envelope the man on top of him. Harry got to his knees and raised his hand to pull out the gag. It was Severus, his eyes gleaming with cold hatred and disgust. Lucius was unconscious on the floor. Severus strode over to his young spouse and unbound him instantly with a spell.

"Thankyou." Harry stood as quickly as he could, his whole body shaking and sweaty from the shock at what had almost happened. "Can we please go home now?" Harry pleaded, tears threatening at the corners of his eyes. He put on his boxers and tidied his robes as quickly as he could, his hands trembling.

Severus lead him silently back towards the main hall, one hand on his shoulder.

"Ah Severus, there you are! There will be some entertainments outside in the grounds shortly. Will you join us?" Their hostess gushed.

"Actually my young husband here has taken ill, I had best take him home." Severus said graciously, Harry tried his best to look calm, knowing his flushed appearance alone would make him seem feverish.

"My, he doesn't look well at all." She feigned concern. "Of course, you should put him to bed at once with some pepper-up potion." She escorted Harry and Severus through the party back to the apparition point. "I hope you get well soon Harry." Her smile was neither warm nor cold, but Harry was beyond caring at this point. He just wanted out of this place. He wanted to feel safe, in his bed, where he could let loose the panic in his chest.

Severus held out his arm silently, Harry gripped it firmly and felt the older man turn on the spot, leading him back to Hogsmeade. They trudged up to the castle in silence, Harry fighting the urge to run to his rooms. His head the whole time babbling nonsense;

I was almost… He nearly… Lucius Malfoy! I cant believe he did that… and she tricked me! But I guess she had no choice… it looked like he was going to hurt Draco. Oh god I can still feel his hands…

It was with enormous relief that Harry stepped into their room, making his way straight to the nearest couch and sinking into it. He pulled his knees up to his chest and hugged them tightly, his teeth chattering. He felt Severus moving around, putting a blanket over him, and handing him a warm drink.

"Drink it Harry, it will calm your nerves." His husband ordered.

"She tricked me… I didn't mean to… I didn't know he was in there," Harry suddenly felt desperate to explain.

"Drink." The order was firmer this time, Harry obeyed and sipped the warm sweet milk. A calming draught, his mind informed him as he felt his muscles involuntarily relax a bit.

He drew a shuddering breath and tried again. "The girl… Draco's wife asked me to come with her, she looked scared so I went along… I should have known it was a trap. She led me to the room – I pulled out my wand when I saw Lucius but Draco stunned me. I think Lucius threatened to hurt Draco if she didn't come get me. I don't blame her for doing it but… god… I was so stupid." He babbled, finally finishing with a sob.

"You don't need to worry about Lucius Malfoy, I wont let him near you again." Severus promised, his voice cold and sharp as a knife. Harry drank the rest of his drink silently, wondering secretly whether severus' anger was really at Lucius, or was some of it at him?

Lucius Malfoy almost… he almost fucked me. Raped me. God, if Severus hadn't come…

His mind started to grow a bit vague and he let his head drop onto his knees.

"Come to bed Harry, you need to rest." He felt tugging at his arm and his feet followed automatically, shuffling across the floor until falling with a relieved sigh onto the bed. He let his husband help him unbutton his robes and shoes then lay down and shut his eyes, curling into a ball. His pulse and breath still quickened each time he thought about things, but his body was quickly giving into the sedative in his drink. It must have been stronger than a calming draught…

"Noooo! Get OFF me! Don't touch me!" he yelled, thrashing the air with his arms and legs.

"Harry, calm down, its just a dream… calm down now… breathe…" Severus coaxed quietly. Once the boy stopped thrashing Severus moved his body so it was close behind Harrys', put a protective arm around him and pulled him close. "I won't let him touch you." He promised again, in a softer voice now, although his 'soft' was still growly Harry could sense that he was trying to soothe him.

"I can still feel him." Harry sobbed, gripping the arm that held him like a lifeline. I'm safe here… Severus saved me, he'll protect me. He told himself, taking deep gasps and trying in vain to calm further. Oh god I'm so scared…

"He cant hurt you. And you wont feel him for long. You are mine Harry, I won't let him touch you. He's not there, see?" He ran his hand gently over his husbands backside, feeling the young man stiffen at his touch. "Its just me, relax." He instructed.

Its just Severus, its just my husband, he is protecting me. Harry told himself firmly. You are safe with Severus, calm down. The dream was starting to fade finally, but Harry felt exhausted and emotionally raw and pained. He still felt those hands on him, pulling down his boxers, holding his hips…

"Relax Harry, I've got you. I'm going to claim you again, so you will only feel me."

Oh god could he do this at a worse time. Harry thought. But Severus pressed his body gently against his husbands, holding him close, and slowly, gently pushed downwards the young mans hips so his bottom met with the older man's thighs. As a he did so slipped his penis inside his still shivering husband. Its just Severus, I am safe. He reminded himself again and again as he felt himself being entered. Its my husband, its ok. Instead of the usual hard thrusting that Harry expected, Severus simply held him close and gently filled him.

"Relax. Do you feel it? That's all me Harry. You are mine. I won't let him take you." He murmured soothing things as he entered him slowly, holding his body protectively close to him, his arms wrapped around him the whole time. Harry felt himself begin to relax slowly at first, then, when his mind and body realised he was safe, he went limp in his husbands strong arms.

Severus used slow gentle movements to claim his husband, the rhythmic movements lulling the exhausted Harry into a quiet, half dozing state.

"That's it Harry… its just me and you now. Nice and safe. With me in you, he can't touch you." Severus continued to rock him gently to sleep this way, eventually coming inside the young man and drifting off to sleep himself.

When Harry awoke in the morning, he still felt a pair of arms holding him, and his husbands penis, now soft, still inside him. He turned his head to look at the man asleep behind him. Wow, I guess he does have a soft side… sort of…
