Lucius was starting to wonder where his husband was. It was the start of February and the snakes had just won their second quidditch game of the season the previous weekend. He was under the impression that their team had decided to take the week off practices since they did not have another game until May. But when he woke up Saturday morning he found himself alone in bed. His husband had been good about managing to get out of bed without him noticing. He had not been thrilled with the prospect of his husband waking him up early Sometimes Lucius would and have breakfast with his husband first but not often.

Lucius slid out of bed and checked both the bathroom and the sitting room but found no sign of his husband. He was confused until he headed back into the bedroom to change and wondered what Harry was up to. He reminded himself this was not like his first marriage. Among other things Harry was still a sixth year which meant he could not leave campus. He headed out of the rooms without eating to see if he could track down his husband.

He found from Salazar his husband had not got entrance into the house but learned Draco and some of the others were out as well already. Lucius wondered if they had headed for the pitch for some practice even though they had no game.

He was coming up the stairs when he heard some of the lions speaking and he heard Ron's voice. "Did you see those two going at it? No wonder he went snake."

Dean nodded. "I would have thought he would be smarter but then gain the old man is probably having a lazy day in and has no idea he is even awake."

Hearing the two of them talk he knew that they were speaking about his husband. He was quite sure they had no idea he was around. He had no idea who the other person they were talking about was but he had his guess. His husband had sworn there was nothing between him and Blaise. He had sworn that Blaise was just a friend for him. Merlin he had even offered to introduce Harry to Carlos and considered allowing his husband to work for Blaise's father. He wondered if his husband was laughing at him and thinking what a fool he was. He knew Narcissa used to. Maybe he had been giving Harry too much credit.

He wanted to hear more. He wanted to know for sure they were talking about his husband. He knew he could not simply accuse Harry of cheating on him. Harry would just put on the innocent puppy dog act and Severus and Draco would believe him. He could not divorce Harry even if he wanted to. But once he had proof Harry was kissing Blaise at lead he would take that young husband of his to bed and Harry would be lucky if he could walk for a week after. If Harry thought he had no freedom when they first met he was definitely mistaken that was for sure. He would be eating all meals at the head table and escorted to class until he graduated.

Ron was heading with Dean out the doors. "I never took Harry for one of those kinds. You know he used to blush at the very thought of being kissed by someone."

Dean snorted. "Well you know he can't just have done it out in the open with his husband around. The alcoves are probably the safest place for him."

Lucius watched as they left and stormed up the stairs towards some of the alcoves that he remembered students using in his day. He was going to find his husband one way or another. He was not going to be embarrassed by a second spouse. Not again. He had been too nice to Harry. He would make Harry regret this. He had wanted to fuck Harry since before they wed and today they would be making proper use of their marriage bed for the first time ever.

He was heading in the hallway towards the library when he saw Harry coming his way. He could see Harry did not even have the decency not to be with Blaise still. He totally missed the red eyes on his husband.

Harry stopped when he saw him coming his way. "Hey Luc. I am sorry I didn't wake you up when I left. I thought you'd want to sleep in."

Lucius looked at him and Blaise and reminded himself he had no proof Harry had been up to anything. "We're going to London over night. Come home and pack."

Harry looked up at him surprised and completely confused for he had not fully wiped away the anger from his voice but he nodded. He turned to Blaise and told him that he would see him on Monday. Blaise headed back towards the library and Harry followed him. He noticed Harry did have his book bag with him but he was sure that Harry had likely been just been covering his tracks so he would have some way of explaining where he had been.

When they got back to the rooms he did not answer Harry's questions but sent his husband into the room to pack himself something for the night. Lucius kept clothes at the townhouse so he had an excuse for why he had not packed a bag. He started poking through his husband's bag when Harry was gone.

Lucius found a piece of parchment which had been mostly erased with a spell and scratched out but a few words could be seen. "I love you, I miss you."

Harry had appeared in the doorway from their bedroom. "I am ready to go Luc. Is there something wrong? You didn't tell me that we were going away today."

Pushing the parchment back in the bag Lucius stood up and directed his husband without a word out of the rooms. He did not need to explain to Harry. He would give his husband to the end of the weekend to come clean. If he didn't Harry would be under house arrest from now on. He would keep his hands off Harry for now but he was not about to have other students talking about his husband in any alcove. And the first proof he had, Harry was his. They ran into Severus on the way out and his old friend shot a concerned look at them and asked where they were going.

Lucius smiled at his old friend. "I decided my husband and I needed some quality time away. We will be in London until after dinner tomorrow night."

Severus sent a concerned look at Harry. "Harry you look a bit pale. Are you sure you're feeling okay? Lucius perhaps you should remain at school."

Lucius brushed off his brother's concern and half led half dragged his husband towards the doors. He had missed the fact that Severus had come from the upper floors and not from his lab or own apartments. Severus was seriously worried about the look on his brother's face and he knew that Harry was not just upset from earlier but that he was scared about the way his husband was as well.

Severus headed to Slytherin when Harry and Lucius were gone, and found Draco and Blaise. "Blaise did something happen after the two of you left me?"
