Harry came back to Hogwarts, and to the room him and Severus would be living in. "Severus?"

No answer.

"Severus?" Harry called a little louder.

No answer.

"Severus Snape, where are you?" Harry said as he dropped the stuff he bought for Severus in a chair. Harry was about to tell Severus to come, but he was sure if he waited long enough, Severus would come. Harry sat down, and opened one of the books he had bought for Severus.

"Master?"

Harry looked up from his book, he looked at the clock. Harry had been here for at least two hours. "Grounded."

Severus stood there for a couple seconds, before saying, "Huh?"

"In tr-ou-ble." Harry said slowly.

"Why, Master, what did I do?"

"Where were you?"

"I was helping someone with something, Master. I apolize for not being here when you came."

"Who and what?"

"Must I answer, Master?"

"Yes."

"I was helping out Mr. Malfoy with one his potions."

"If I have to ask you to re-answer me, you're not going to be in a good spot."

"I was helping make Vaturn. (time travel potion) He lost some objects, and he wanted to get them back. I don't know what they were."

"Liar. Something you are telling me is untrue."

Severus bit his lips. Harry glared, "Please, grow up. You and me both know that I won't be all that mad, if you helped him make a potion. But, I'm sure Draco can make a potion by himself."

Severus nodded, "I helped Mr. Malfoy becuase he didn't make it right the first few tries."

Harry nodded, "I don't want you leaving, unless I know where you are, and when you'll be back. Understand?"

"Yes, Master."

"Good. Tomorrow classes start, your stuff is here, if you need anything else, just ask me."

"Yes, Master."

"Talk."

"What?"

"What are you not telling me?"

"I told you everthing. Everything I told you, is the truth."

"Fine. I didn't think I would actully need this. But fine." Harry got up, and pushed Severus in a chair. Severus allowed himself to be pushed, but followed Harry with his eyes. "I ran into John Misheal, today..." Harry started.

Severus gulped. "Really, Master?"

"Yes. I asked how he had so many slaves listen to him. He has enough that he could be over powered... He told me they all wore his mark."

"Mark, Master?"

"Yes, they have a scar on their back. JM, his initials. If they disobey, or try to hamr him, that scar is like your burning alive."

"M-Master.. Please don't. I'll follow the rules. I s-swear I'm not lying. I-I was helping with a potion. W-with Vaturn. I-I swear it."

"I think Draco, is smart enough not to take you without my permission. Right?"

"Yes, Master."

"So, let me ask you again, what where you doing?"

"I was helping with the Vaturn!"

"So if I go ask Draco right now, he'll tell me the same story?"

"No."

"Oh. Why is that?"

"I wasn't with him."

"You just said you were."

"No. I said I was with Mr. Malfoy."

"You s- with WHO!"

"Lucius."

Harry pointed his wand at Severus, "Didn't I already tell you, I don't want you near any Voldermort followers? Didn't I point Malfoy out big time? Didn't I?"

"Yes."

"Then why the hell did you do it!"

"You are a child. I'm greatful that you are willing to do so much for me, but you do not, run my life."

Harry glared, "Cructio."

Severus fell to the ground, and squimed at the pain. "Stop!" Severus manged to yell horsely. "Pppllllease!"

Harry lifted the curse, "I mean it. I don't want you to be involed with any deatheaters. At all. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes...Master."

"Good. Go to your room. Go to bed. And do not come out till breasfeat tomorrow."

"Yes, Master." Severus got to his feet and headed to the bed room.

"Severus."

"Yes, Master?" Severus said turing back slowly.

"I think you'll have to re-earn your reward."

Severus glared. "Fine."

"Tone."

"I apolize."

"Room, bed, go."

Severus went to his room without another word.

The next morning Severus woke up. He looked around the room, thinking of the night before. What are you taking about? He does control your life. From here on out, you are a slave.

Severus sighed, and got out of bed. He got dressed and hoped that Harry wasn't awake yet. Severus went out. "Classes are today..." He mumbled to himself. He saw Harry was already awake. Damn.. "Good morning, Master."

"You have no classes today, but good afternoon."

"Why no classes, Master?"

"I told them that you would be out today."

"Why?"

"One, you needed sleep, and wouldn't wake up. And two, I just didn't want a potions class today."

"Well, I guess that is a good enough reason as any."

"Damn right. Draco was pissed. But whatever."

"May I go see him?"

"Draco?"

"Yes, please, Master?"

"Go ahead. Don't go near his dad. In fact, I'll bring him here."

"Will he let you near him? Not to be rude, Master."

"He has no choice."

"Wh-" Severus started, but Harry was already gone.

"Draco Malfoy! How dare you? You knew what you were suppose to do! And you blew it!" Smack!

Harry cringed. "Lucius! Sit that ass of yours down! Now!"

Lucius and Draco both truned their heads to see Harry. Draco had a lot of marks on his face. Harry glared at Lucius, "I said sit!"

Lucius sat down, and put his head in his hands. Harry looked at Draco, who was looking at Harry with greatful eyes. "I'm sorry. I was mad that night..."

Harry waited, "You want this back then?" Harry held out Dracos' ring.

Draco nodded, "I'm really sorry, I was just really pissed at Weasly that night, and I couldn't do anything... I'm sorry."

Harry smiled, and slid the ring back on Draco's finger. "Severus wants to see you. I came here to get you. But I guess I'm needed for more then just that." Harry turned to Lucius, "Stay away from Severus. I don't want you around him."

Lucius looked like he was going to argue, but sighed instead. "Yes, Sir."

"If I found you are seeing him, you'll be punished as much as him. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Good, last but not least." Harry punched Lucius in the face. Harry couldn't help the enjoyment he felt has that anger flashed across Lucius's face. Harry loved that Lucius could do nothing in return against him, he hated that he felt this way...but still he felt good. "Don't you dare touch Draco again. Got it?"

"Y-yes, S-sir."
