The Sacrifice

Lucius had ushered his husband back to their room as the two had to finish their packing. He was surprised to see how Harry was throwing things around and could tell the little Gryffindor was angry about something. Deciding he should calm his husband before the young man broke something he walked over to him and took him into his arms.

“Don’t even touch me. If all I am to you is a replacement spouse, then so be it. I will play the role of the perfect little spouse when in public, but I will not put up with this in private. You will keep your hands to yourself and I will keep mine to myself.” Harry said as he pushed him away while glaring at him.

“Oh, and how do you plan to do that when we sleep in the same bed?” Lucius asked with a raised eyebrow. Sure he was worried Harry would go through with his threat, but he wasn’t about to apologize. Malfoys didn’t apologize.

Harry was furious. He had finally had enough of Lucius constantly using him and wasn’t going to take it anymore. “There is a couch. One of us will sleep there.” He said still glaring at his husband.

Looking at Harry Lucius knew he was serious about this. Well if he wanted to play it that way then Lucius would play along and hold out until Harry came back begging him for forgiveness.

He didn’t realize just how stubborn his little Gryffindor was.

That night at the dinner table Draco could feel the tension running between his two companions. He just wasn’t sure who was the culprit who started it. He figured his father had done something to anger Harry, but for the life of him couldn’t figure out what it was. He decided he would just have to write the person he was seeing and see if there was something he was missing.

As the two got ready for bed Lucius marveled at the fact that Harry hadn’t caved yet. Watching as his young spouse prepared for bed Lucius realized this was going to be harder than he thought. He was just itching to reach out and take his husband right here and now, but knew Harry wouldn’t react well to that. So he did the only thing he could think of. He went and took a nice long cold shower.

Harry couldn’t believe Lucius was holding out like this. Oh he knew the man wouldn’t cave easily, but also knew the man craved touching him intimately. He knew this was going to take a while and couldn’t hold back the smirk when he heard the shower start. Lucius never showered at night.

Lucius walked out of the bathroom and felt his heart plummet into his stomach when he was Harry already asleep on the couch curled up under a thin blanket. Deciding to do what would be best for his spouse he walked over and scooped the younger man up and carried him over to the bed. He gently placed him on the bed and covered him up. Looks like Lucius would be sleeping on the couch tonight.

Harry woke the next morning and was surprised to find himself in a different place than he had fallen asleep in. He expected to find Lucius in the bed with him, and almost died of shock to find the blond asleep on the couch. Deciding to make the best of the situation Harry got up and headed for the shower. They were all going back to Hogwarts and he didn’t want to be the reason they were late.

When he got out of the shower he wasn’t surprised to find his husband awake and obviously in a little pain. He could tell the man’s back hurt from sleeping on the couch, but found he didn’t care………… well didn’t care too much………… OK he cared and felt bad that the man was in pain, but was not going to give in.

Lucius looked up when he heard the bathroom door open and found he had a lot more trouble restraining himself when he saw Harry walk out with only a towel on. He suddenly was daydreaming about ripping the towel off and throwing his husband onto the bed and ravishing him right then and there. Knowing he wouldn’t be able to hold back mush longer he decided to take another cold shower. He just prayed to Merlin he didn’t catch a cold from all the cold water, he couldn’t wait until they were in public and he could once again touch his husband. People were going to be shockedbecause if that was the only time he could touch Harry he would be doing as much touching as was socially acceptable.

Harry couldn’t help but laugh as he watched a frustrated, in more ways than one, Lucius walk into the bathroom. He knew his husband was having a harder time with this than he was and actually was quite proud of himself for having this affect on the man. He could already tell he would be in for it when they were in public, and just prayed his husband had the sense to keep it decent.

Draco was shocked at how when they entered the platform his father just grabbed Harry and began kissing him for all he was worth. Something was defiantly going on between the two of them and Draco was going to find out what.

Lucius couldn’t believe that now that he had Harry in his arms he didn’t want to let him go ever again. It seemed he couldn’t get enough out of the kiss and was beginning to regret ever doing it as he wanted more now that he had had a little taste. His hands began to travel lower on his lover trying to grope the little ass, but soon were stopped by a pair of smaller hands that had just been around his neck. He couldn’t stop the groan of frustration and wanted to kill Harry when he felt the Gryffindor smile into the kiss. He knew Harry knew he was winning this.

Harry was glad when Lucius finally released him as he was about to pass out from lack of air. He also knew that people had to be staring at the two of them as when did Lucius Malfoy ever all out snog someone in public, let alone Harry Potter.

“Kindly stop staring at my husband if you fancy having all your limbs where they are.” Lucius said to the people staring at them. He didn’t mind them staring at him, but found he didn’t like any eyes lingering on Harry. He had to smirk when the people all looked away and tried not to look at them.

“Well that was fun, but the train will be leaving soon so we should get on board.” Harry said bringing Lucius’s attention back to him.

All Draco could do was stare as Harry walked away as if he hadn’t just had the life snogged out of him. How in the name of Merlin could Harry just do that. Had Draco’s lover just done that to him he would have been searching for the nearest place to shag them. He could tell his father was uncomfortable though judging by the bulge in the man’s pants.

Lucius found a compartment with Remus and Sirius as they where the three teachers who were in charge of making sure the students arrived at the school safely. He really wasn’t looking forward to spending time with the two as he was sure they had seen his little display.

He knew he was right when he heard Sirius say, “So what did Harry do that has you all ‘hot and bothered’ enough to snog him senseless in public?” How he wanted to hex that smirk off the animagus’s face. “don’t worry you don’t have to answer Remus has done it to me before, I know what he is doing and if he is anything like his parents you will never win this one.” Sirius said suddenly feeling sorry for the man.

Remus had held out on him before and he knew for a fact Lily had held out on James for almost three months. The man was almost crazy by the time he finally gave in and apologized. And that was the thing James and Sirius were always the two to apologize, why would it be any different with Lucius. The blond would soon find out why you don’t go up against someone who had inherited the Evans’ stubbornness. You were sure to lose.

“How long can he possibly hold out?” Lucius said thinking he would surely be able to last longer than Harry.

“Harry is a stubborn one. As a baby he stayed awake for three days straight until his parents finally found his favorite stuffed animal. I don’t think Lily talked to Sirius for three weeks for hiding the thing.” Remus said laughing at the memory of the two sleep deprived parents.

“Out of curiosity what was this stuffed animal?” Lucius asked wanting to know more about the limited number of happy times in Harry’s life.

“It was a white stage. His father had gotten it for him when he was born and the kid refused to sleep without it. Unfortunately it was destroyed along with their house.” Sirius said. “So what are the limitations he set you?” He asked trying to get back to the subject at hand.

The three in the compartment had started a strained friendship for Harry’s sake and were finding it easier to be friends than they had originally thought it would be.

None of them heard the door to the compartment open.

“I am not allowed to touch him at all unless we are in public.” Lucius said while trying to hold the sneer on his face. He didn’t think he would be this affected by what Harry was doing.

It was then they heard laughter coming from the doorway.

Draco couldn’t stop himself when he heard what Harry was doing to his poor father. He really did feel sorry for the man. “You should just apologize for what you did. What did you do anyways?” He had to hear the answer to this.

“To be honest with you I really don’t know.” It was true he didn’t know what he did wrong.

The other three just looked at him sympathetically. From what they knew of Harry he wouldn’t be giving in until Lucius figured it out.
