They watched as Harry remained there sleeping again from another potion. Draco had been returned to school for though he protested he did not want to leave Harry, he was a minor. Lucius might be worried about pressing charges for kidnapping Harry in his terms for Harry would fight it, but Draco would have been another story. Technically Harry had not been kidnapped, he had run away, but Severus was worried Lucius would still come after them. The way their contract was stated Harry was not emancipated as he usually would have been when he wed. He was a minor till he came of age at seventeen which was not till July of course, and his husband had every right to demand his return for he had gained custody of Harry when he married him. By the ancient laws Lucius had done nothing wrong, he had the right to touch his husband, and it was Harry who had been wrong. What ever he had done to stop his husband was not the issue; it was the running away which was. They just prayed Lucius could take what Severus had done to him and keep him from storming in here and taking Harry away from them. They didn't think that Harry could handle it and were scared he would shut down completely if he was returned to his husband's custody.

Severus was reading later by the bed when Harry had slowly come around, having sent word to the school they needed to find a substitute for he would not be returning at least for few days. The headmaster knew what was going on and had okayed. He put a hand on Harry but he removed it when Harry jerked away spooked from him like an injured animal. He hadn't even thought of it and knew when Harry was still unconscious he should not have tried to have physical contact with him. His heart ached for Harry, having started to look at Harry like a son, something he had only felt even close to with Draco in the past.

Harry looked at him warily for a few moments and he wondered what was running through Harry's mind. For a moment he thought about taking a look but he shook away the thought. He had not done that since he was forced to in his spy days and he was not about to intrude the mind of a child he considered a son.

Harry finally spoke. "You're still here?"

Severus nodded. "I hope you know how much I care about you Harry. Draco had to go back to school but I'm staying. I wanted to make sure you were okay."

For a moment Harry showed no reaction but he slowly nodded his head. He could not deny that he had been looking to Severus to fill the void that his dads had left when they had done this to him. He was surprised when he was conscious enough to realize it that he was home. He had realized even if consciously he had not been willing to admit it, unconsciously he had been desperate to have a connection with his dads again. The letter had been the first time he had admitted it. He had needed comfort and the first place he had thought to go for comfort and protection when he had been scared and hurt had been here to his dads.

Harry was trying to move so Severus helped him sit against stacked up pillows. "I would have thought my husband would have come after me and dragged me home."

Severus sighed. "I can't lie to you Harry and say he can't, he legally can. But I think I gave him enough to think about to keep him away from now."

Knowing Harry needed to hear it Severus admitted what he had done to Lucius, seeing the shock in Harry's face when he had heard it. He had never imagined that Severus would have attacked his own brother like that, no matter how close the two of them had becoming. He would have expected Sirius or even Remus to do something like that but Severus had always been a far calmer person. And his care for Harry was far newer then the long friendship and bond he had with Lucius. Severus though told Harry that he had put his brother in his place in the past and not even his brother got away with that.

Harry was worried that Severus would get in legal trouble but he swore to Harry that Lucius would not press charges against him. He asked Harry what Harry had done to escape from his husband and get here. Lucius had used the word that Harry had attacked him.

Seeing Harry was scared he stopped him. "Lucius might have the legal right to touch you but if he is hurting you, you can defend yourself. I promise you that."

Harry nodded slowly. "I don't know what happened. One minute he was.....and the next minute he was across the room on the floor."

Though Harry had been too scared to tell them before the detail of what happened he coaxed it out of Harry. Harry had been fighting the entire time but when his husband had him pinned to the bed threatening to fuck him so hard that he would not want to move for a week. He had not known what was happening but as his husband was about to strip him of his boxers he had been slipping away in ear and had suddenly found some kind of power to throw his husband across the room.

Severus stared at Harry in shock knowing that the boy had never used wandless magic before. Well he had done some when he was a kid but it had been accidental magic though older then most kids could do it. To be able to use that kind of power without a wand was incredible especially when not trained.

Severus saw the panic returning in his eyes. "I meant it Harry; you are not in any trouble. You have every legal right to defend yourself against an attack by him."

Harry pulled his knees towards him. "What is going to happen now? I'm so scared Sev. I don't think I can stand being in a room with him again."

They were talking for a time and Severus wished he had answers but he was not sure. He knew Harry was right and he would likely not be able to do what he had, a second time. If Harry went back to his husband he would likely be helpless unless Lucius had come to his senses which he doubted he had so soon. As they were talking they had not noticed his dads had appeared in the door but more concerning was the fact that Tonks was in the doorway with them.

When he noticed Harry asked her. "What are you doing here?"

Tonks sighed. "Lucius has gone to his attorneys and demanded the return of his husband. If Harry is not returned to the townhouse by 6pm he will press charges."

She explained he had come to the department and laid a complaint against Harry's dads, not for kidnapping but for custodial interference and was willing to have them arrested if Harry was not returned to them. Harry's dads looked and him and swore they would not force him to go back, they would rather face a fine or some minor prison time and he could go off to one of the Black homes till he was ready to return.

Harry shook his head. "You can't go to prison; my little sister or brother needs you. I'll go back to him; I have to go back to him."
