Thanks to everyone who liked my first chapter and left me reviews. It was very much appreciated. I really wasn't expecting such a good response. This chapter is much longer and I hope you enjoy it.

Again regrettably I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters.

Harry was still mad about being left by his master and especially mad about being left into Malfoy's care. Harry just hoped he'd be to worried about his own sub to pay much attention to him.

Harry heard someone knock and pretended he was asleep. "I know you're awake Potter. Lucius had me come to tell you it's dinner time in about 15 minutes." He heard a cold drawing voice.

"Then is 15 minutes I'll ask a house elf to bring me my food."

"What Severus meant was you have 15 minutes to get washed up and dressed in something nice. That's an order." Harry opened his eyes when he heard someone else speak. He frowned seeing not only Snape there but Malfoy as well.

They left and Harry threw a pillow at the door. As he said 15 minutes later he called a house elf, Dotty, to him. "Will you please bring me my dinner?"

Dotty shook her head. "Mr. Malfoy said master Harry eats in the dinning room or not at all."

"He is not your master though." Harry pointed out.

"But he is your master for now and master Lestrange said to listen to Mr. Malfoy while he's gone." Harry groaned of course Rodolphus had already considered Harry wouldn't listen to Malfoy.

"Fine then I won't eat." Dotty nodded and left but seemed very nervous about it.

Harry was fine not eating but, next thing he knew he was being pulled up and hit three times across his butt with something. He looked back and saw it was Malfoy with his cane.

"What rule did you brake?" Harry ignored the question and was hit five more times. He held strong to try to not show his reactions.

"I do not like repeating myself. What rule did you break?"

Harry wavered a little. "None." Harry felt his pants pulled down and being hit eight more times. His butt was starting to burn. "Disrespect." Finally spat out.

"Good." Harry felt Lucius stroke his hair. Harry relaxed a little and then felt being whacked again. Harry gasped from shock and then felt two more whacks.

"What was that for?" Harry glared at him.

"You tell me." Lucius raised a graceful eyebrow.

Harry sighed. "I lied."

"Actually I hadn't thought of that one. Should I punish you for that too?"

"No." Harry cried out. He already felt like he wouldn't be able to sit through the dinner that was sure he was going to be forced to attended. It had been a while since his last spanking with it being one of Rodolphus' least favorite and least effective punishments.

"You may stand now and pull your pants back on Harry." Lucius told him and set his cane aside to show he wouldn't be using it anymore. "Stand up straight and repeat the rules Rodolphus has for you. Starting with his most important."

Harry did as he was told and with Lucius' side note of the most important one Harry realized how much trouble he would be in if Rodolphus found out what happened. "The most important one is that I take care of myself including eating three meals a day and napping. I'm also to respect all masters not just mine and especially you since you are my master while Rodolphus is away. I'm also to keep my temper in check. And I'm not to touch others or let them touch me without my master's permission."

"Very good. Now wash up and dress in something nice while I tell you of a few extra for while I'm here." Harry nodded. He went and washed his hands and face before getting clothes, a pair of black slacks and a red button down shirt

"I will not tolerate temper tantrums. You may still be young but, you are no child and you for certain have more years in spirit to you than you do physically. You will eat meals with me and Severus unless I tell you you can do other wise. And if you have any problems you are to come to me with them before they grow to big for your control. I'm here to help you. Is that understood?" Lucius who had been looking away while Harry got dressed looked back at him.

"Yes it's understood." Harry looked down for a second and looked back at him. "Are you going to tell Rodolphus that I didn't listen to you and had decided not to eat?"

"Not if you come down to eat now and eat everything on your plate and don't give me a problem with this again."

Harry nodded and left his room. He really didn't want Rodolphus hearing that he disrespected his temporary master right away and had also planned on skipping a meal.

He went down to the dinning room with Lucius. Lucius had taken the seat at the head of the table next to Severus. Harry frowned. That was Rodolphus' seat even though they hardly ever ate in the dinning room preferring to eat at a smaller table. He took his seat across from Severus though. Harry started by eating his salad.

"So I take it this is the first time that Rodolphus has left you since you two got together." Lucius said to Harry as he started eating his own food. Harry just nodded. He really didn't feel like talking to anyone let alone two of the men he hated the most. So he just kept eating his food not looking at either of them.

"Potter you're not being very respectful. I don't like being ignored." Malfoy gave him a stern look.

"Rodolphus didn't say I had to speak to either of you. You're just here to make sure I don't kill myself or starve myself or something stupid like that since he doesn't think I can take care of myself. Since you know I've been coddled all my life and never had to do anything for myself." Harry said with some bite to it. He just kept his eyes on his food wanting to get done quickly.

"Potter I will not have you talking to me like that and I'm sure Rodolphus would not like hearing that you spoke of him like that. I told you before you are not a child and I will not have you acting like one." Lucius scooted back from the table. "Come over here."

Harry's head shot up and looked at Malfoy. He wasn't going to spank him here in front Snape was he? The look on Malfoy's face plainly said he wasn't in the mood to play around. "I'll be good I promise."

"I didn't ask you if you were going to behave. I didn't ask you anything. I gave you an order to come here." Harry nodded and got up walking over to Lucius where he was laid across Lucius' lap and give five hard smacks. Harry felt more like a child being punished in front of Snape.

Harry got up his arse felt like it was on fire from all the spanking. He was about to go back to his seat when he felt Lucius pull him on to his lap. "If you're going to act like a child I'll treat you like one. Now you're going to sit here and eat your dinner and talk to us like an adult."

"I told you Rodolphus doesn't like other people touching me. He wouldn't be happy

with me sitting on your lap." Harry tried to squirm to get away but, that just made his arse hurt more.

"If he has a problem with it I will explain it was in punishment not trying to give you pleasure. I am your master while he's a way and he has given me permission to punish you as I see fit." Lucius speared some food on his fork and held it to Harry's mouth. "Now be a good boy and eat."

Harry sighed and took the fork from Lucius' hand and started eating his dinner again.

"Do you know how long Rodolphus will be away?" Severus said finally speaking for the first time since dinner started.

Harry didn't want to look at Snape being in such a embarrassing spot but he didn't want to get punished more for not being respectful. So he looked over at him. "A week. And yes this is the first time he's left me since we've been together." He gently touched the green leather collar Rodolphus had placed on him. "We've seen each other everyday since I agreed to be his sub."

"Then it must be hard to be away from him." Severus said.

"Before you continue Severus I'd choose my next words carefully." Lucius raised a knowing eyebrow at his sub.

"Lucius he is young and in love and he's new to being a sub. You should go easy on him." Severus told him as if he hadn't heard the warning at all.

"Harry please get up." Harry was confused by the conversation but, did as he was told. He hardly understood why Snape would be sticking up for him. He took his old seat and watching Malfoy and Snape. Harry thought back to the memories that Snape shared with him at the end of the war he had stuck up for him against Dumbledore but this was his master and it was different.

Lucius stood up. He summoned a leash and hooked it to Snape's black leather collar with silver studs. "Kneel before me." Severus complied and kneeled before his master. "I expect more from your Severus. You usually behave so well especially in front of other subs as to set a good example."

"I'm sorry master. I know I spoke out of turn but, you know I only do so when I have a point that has to be made." Severus looked up at him.

"That can be argued. You had no need to under mind me." He took hold of Severus' hair and pulled his head back so he was looking up at him. "You will finish eating without saying one more unprovoked word and afterwards you be wearing a ball gag."

"Of course master." He kissed Lucius' boots.

"Good boy." He stroked Severus' hair and sat back down. "I think you will also finish your meal kneeling there. To remind you who is the sub."

Severus nodded. "As you wish." He grabbed his plate and went back to eating.

Harry wasn't really sure what just happened. "Thank you." he said softly to Snape which earned him a look from Malfoy. He was quickly learning to hate those looks.

"Don't encourage him. That's the last thing he needs." Harry nodded and went back to eating. With Severus not allowed to talk the rest of the meal passed pretty much in silence.

After Harry was excused he went back to his room to put on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. He grabbed his broom and went outside. If Rodolphus had been home he wouldn't have thought about going out this late since he wasn't suppose to but then again if Rodolphus had been home he wouldn't need to clear his mind right now and flying was always his favorite way to do that.

He took off staying close to the house so that if Malfoy found out he had gone out he wouldn't get in to much trouble. Still he hoped that he'd be to preoccupied with his own sub and his punishment right now to worry to much about Harry until it was his bedtime. And yes even though he was a grown man he had a bedtime something he had fought against at first but, once he got use to it it wasn't such a big deal on most nights. Some night he just couldn't get to sleep on time though.

Harry wasn't exactly sure how long he had been out when he finally landed but when he looked at his watch he saw he should still have enough time to shower and get into bed before Malfoy would most likely check on him. So he put his broom up and grabbed his pajamas before heading to the shower. Since his room didn't have a bathroom attached he went to the master bathroom to use that shower. After all Rodolphus had said he couldn't use the master bedroom not that he couldn't use the bathroom.

After his shower Harry felt better about the whole situation. But when he stepped out into the bedroom and frown feeling bad again. He wanted his master there with him. He laid down and buried his face in Rodolphus' pillow taking a deep breath. He could still smell him. He had just started drifting off when he heard a knock on the bedroom door. He jumped knowing he wasn't suppose to be in there and quickly got up as the door opened.

"What are you doing in here Potter? I thought Rodolphus said you were to sleep in your room." Snape looked at Harry.

"I was just getting a shower before bed. I was heading to my room now." Harry said moving further away from the bed. "Snape I just wanted to say…thank you."

"You already said it at dinner. It wasn't the big of a deal Potter. Lucius seems to forget you are new to be a sub." He said coldly.

"No not just for that. I never told you thanks after the war. You did so much to help me and I never really thanked you. I still don't understand why you did all that for me though. I mean I never was nice to you in school." Harry looked at him hoping he'd shed some light on to his reasoning.

"I didn't show you those memories so you'd feel grateful to me. I did it so you'd know that people aren't always what they seem."

"I know that. I can tell you're not the kind of person who goes around looking for applause. And I know you may not believe it but neither am I. But I also don't feel right not giving someone to recognition they deserve. You did more to bring down Voldemort than I did. You definitely risked you're life in grater ways then I did." It was true too. Harry felt like all the awards and medals and other trinkets they felt like giving him after the war should have gone to other people. Just because they felt like he did something great in bring Voldemort down didn't mean Harry felt like he did. The way he saw it it was a fluke that brought him down. Harry didn't beat him in a duel. It was only because Voldemort's wand rejected him that Voldemort died.

"I wasn't looking for glory when I helped bring the Dark lord down so I don't feel bitter for not getting all those scrapes of paper and pieces of scrape metal you got." nape gave Harry a cold stare.

"I didn't say you did." Harry snapped. "I was just saying that I couldn't have done it without you and thank you for helping make the world a better place. Geeze." Harry stormed out of the room and into his bedroom. The other man was being impossible. He laid down and pulled the covers over his head.

Harry heard the door open but ignore it until his felt his bed sink down some. He poked his head out and was surprised to see Snape there.

"I thought Lucius told you he doesn't like temper tantrums. Thank you for what you said in the other room. I guess I should tell you why I stood up against Dumbledore for you. I'm not as evil as you might think. I don't think any child should have been put through the things that he made you go through especially as unprepared as he seemed to like to leave you. But it also had to do with how much you remind me of your mum. Lily was my best friend and my first love."

Harry sat up. He never really got to know much about his mum before. "Will you tell me about her? Remus and Sirius use to tell me about my dad all the time but neither of them really knew my mum and my aunt Petunia would be more willing to say something nice about my dad than my mum." He looked hopefully at Severus. He wanted to get to know her better.

Severus nodded. "Yes I'll tell you about her. But not right now. You need sleep. Rodolphus may not be my master but I don't want him angry at me because I kept you up." He smirked a little and messed up Harry's hair. "Good night Potter." he stood up and left.

"Good night Severus." Harry laid down smiling. Suddenly having Snape and Malfoy there didn't seem so bad.

Well that one was longer. I hope you enjoyed and hopefully soon I'll have the next chapter. I'm really sure how long this story will be. I'm thinking probably 8 chapters. Thanks for reading.
