"Blaise did something happen after the two of you left me?" Severus was trying to stay calm but he had not seen Lucius like that.
Blaise nodded. "Lucius came when we were near the library. He seemed pretty ticked about something and ordered Harry home to pack."
Severus was confused and sighed. Harry had been upset and had come to him that morning needing someone to talk to. He had told Harry he could talk to him at any time and after reluctantly passing along Harry's dad's invitation to the ultrasound, he had been expecting it. He had given Harry his password. He knew it was a topic Harry would not speak to his husband about because of the tension still over the contract. Harry still had trouble forgiving his husband for inviting them to Christmas and not warning him about their arrival before hand. Harry had shown him the little stuffed elephant that he bought for his sister or brother.
He had taken Harry up to the owlery that morning and helped Harry write a letter to his dads and send the gift. He had offered if Harry was unable to send the letter to take the gift for he was going himself the next day for the ultrasound. His old friend had asked him to be there and he had said yes. He and Remus had been trying to patch up their friendship since the war ended and he thought he could bring a copy back for Harry when he was ready for it. But he thought if Harry could handle writing a letter it would be better in the long run. Harry had been in bad shape as he wrote it and it had taken a few drafts before he had sent it on.
Draco was concerned and his eyes darted back and forth between his godfather and his best friend. "What is going on?"
Severus sighed. "I saw your father and Harry before they left. Harry looked pretty upset but I knew it was not just about this morning. I hoped Blaise would know."
Blaise had run into them in the owlery as he was sending something home. Severus had to go and met with the headmaster so he had left the boys after the owlery and Blaise had suggested that Harry come down to breakfast in the hall. It was still early in the morning but Draco and some of the guys had decided to hit the pitch after an early breakfast even though the team was not practicing that weekend. Blaise had found Draco after Harry left him and they had ended up coming back down to the dungeons for they too had been wondering what had been happening with Harry and his husband.
Draco was worried about Harry. "They have been making progress lately. I mean Harry has been making a real effort to give Dad a chance. I don't get this."
Severus agreed with his godson. "I want you guys to keep an ear out for the sound of what might have happened. Something must have happened to upset your dad."
Severus left the room and part of him thought about going to London. He knew that they would be staying in the town house. But he didn't think it would help. He hoped Harry could handle his husband. He thought Lucius would likely be angrier if Severus just showed up out of no where. Besides he was sure as soon as Harry explained what was going on his husband and would calm down and perhaps it would help the two of them grow closer to each other.
Part of him knew deep down the chances Harry would actually tell his husband were slim. Harry did not like being backed into corners about talking about things. And the fear in his eyes when he was taken off by Lucius worried Severus as well. He just prayed his brother would keep his calm.
He looked at his lab as he was about to start a potion. "You're in London tomorrow for the ultrasound. You can check on Harry then. He will be fine."

Harry was not sure what was happening, his husband refused to speak to him at all as he pulled him along through the grounds. He knew he should have woken his husband up that morning but he had thought that Lucius would have been happy for a sleep in. He had not intended to be gone as long as he had been. He had just gone down the hall to talk to Severus and had not planned on the trip up to the Owlery. His husband could not possibly be angry about Blaise, he had told Harry he could spend time with him and had actually said when he asked Harry not to be alone to make sure he was safe, that could include Blaise being with him. He had not even been with Blaise really. He had run into him and had only gone with him because Severus had needed to speak to the headmaster and since Harry was not to walk around alone he would have had to go with Severus to the meeting if he had not joined Blaise.
His husband pulled him in close to apparate them when they had got to the gates of the school and past the wards. He could see anger in his husband's eyes and it sent shivers running up and down his spine. He had no idea what was happening and he definitely did not want to be going away to London with his husband in this mood but he knew it would just make his husband more upset
When they got to the townhouse Lucius called one of the house elves and spoke for the first time. "Take my husband's bag to our room."
Harry looked at Lucius as his bag was taken away. "Luc, what is going on? You're starting to scare me a bit here. Did I do something wrong?"
The man rounded on him and yanked him into a long rough kiss. Harry whimpered as the kiss was crushing and hard, lacking any of the gentleness of the kisses h had lately from his husband, and he was sure the hand around the back of his neck was going to leave some bruises there. He had not seen his husband like this since the start of their marriage when he cut Harry off with kisses when ever Harry accused him of being jealous or something else.
Lucius drew back from him. "I thought we could use some time way from the school to talk.....Is there something you'd like to tell me about you and Blaise today?"
Harry was confused; he had just run into Blaise and walked back with him. "We were walking back to Slytherin. You told m that I was allowed to be friends.
His husband had been jealous at the start and had accused him of hitting on Blaise and hanging all over him. He had eventually let up on Harry a bit and told him he could spend time with Blaise as long as he gave Lucius a chance in their marriage as well. He had been giving his husband a chance and he had made sure to be careful about how he acted in public around Blaise. He had never been flirting with Blaise but he saw that his husband had genuinely believed that he was. He had tried to show his husband as much respect as he could and act in a way in public that would give his husband no reason to doubt him or Blaise.
Lucius looked at him. "I have some business to see to. You will stay here and think about your answer. I'll be expecting a proper answer before we head back or...."
Harry did not like the way his husband's voice trailed off and he had no idea why his husband was so upset or what he spoke of. "Lucius I don't understand."
Lucius drew him into one more hard kiss and told him he better use the time here to think. If Harry did not remember the rules Harry would find himself at the head table for every meal till graduation. Harry watched his husband storm out of the townhouse and he sunk down into the couch absolutely confused at what was happening and why his husband was so upset with him. He had given Harry permission to spend time with Blaise and he had not been alone in the halls. He needed someone to talk to and he knew George's shop was just up the street. He was worried about laving but he needed someone to talk to and braved it.
George saw him when he came into the shop and was worried as soon as he saw him and took him into the back room. "Harry what are you doing here?"
Harry told him what was happening including that morning with the letter. "I don't know why he is so angry with me and he is scaring me so badly."
George was not much better with reasoning. He told Harry he needed to go back to the townhouse but he hated sending his brother back there. But he knew if Lucius had to come looking for him He just told Harry to be honest with his husband about the letter and get his husband to talk to him. George was so worried about Harry when he left and Harry was only feeling slightly better.
He barely managed to come in the door when he was seized by his husband and pressed up against the wall. "Where the hell were you? I told you to stay and think."
