When Severus woke the next morning it was to the pain of the Dark Mark glowing on his arm. After the ordeal that had occurred the night before Severus had hoped that Voldemort would not summon him for a while, but it appeared that the Dark Lord had something to say. Rolling over to his still sleeping lover, Severus kissed the man's forehead and shook him awake, "Harry." He waited until the green eyes fluttered open and then focused on his face, "I'm being summoned, I'll be back as soon as I can, okay?"
Harry's brain was still muddled with sleep but when the word "summoned" reached his ears his brain woke up immediately, thoughts of Voldemort having sex with Severus immediately in his mind, "Be careful, please."
Severus quirked a little smile as he kissed Harry's lips and then pulled back, "Mhm, morning breath." He teased softly, gathering the man into his arms and holding him for a moment, "I'll be careful, and I'll be back." Allowing Harry to wrap his arms around his waist for a while, Severus finally broke away when the call began to grow insistent. Hurriedly dressing in his Death Eater robes, Severus pulled down his mask before stepping into the fireplace and disappearing.
Watching his bondmate leave, Harry tossed the thick comforter back and padded straight for the shower, his mind elsewhere as he scrubbed his hair and body. Dressing in his every day uniform, Harry shrugged into his school robes and straightened his tie as he hurried up the stairway that led from the Slytherin Dungeons. Striding straight past the Great Hall, Harry walked to Dumbledore's office, speaking curtly to the guard outside before the rotating staircase was revealed.
As usual, when Harry's knuckles were about to rap against the door, it swung open to reveal a waiting Albus Dumbledore, patiently sitting behind his desk, fingers steepled together as he studied the Boy Who Lived, "Good morning, Harry, I didn't expect a visit from you so early."
Harry took a seat, noticing that it was the first time that Dumbledore had ever greeted him properly rather than offering him a lemon drop, "I'm not taking classes here anymore. Alteast, only the ones that I think matter, which are your lessons, McGonagall's, and Occlumency. I am going to make the first move in this war, I am tired of waiting for Voldemort to strike."
Dumbledore studied his student for a long moment and merely raised an eyebrow at the sudden fiery mood that gripped the Gryffindor. "I'm not surprised, Harry, I've been waiting for you to make this decision for a while now, but please amuse an old man, what finally pushed you to this?"
Harry wasn't sure what Severus would want him to reveal about his double-spy life, so he spoke cautiously, "Do you know what the Dark Lord has Severus do for him?" When the Headmaster nodded his head in affirmation, Harry continued, "I can't let someone do that to my mate." After speaking the words, something about it occurred Harry and then he finally pieced it together, "You knew I would do this!" He jumped to his feet, "You knew Severus was being used by the Dark Lord that way, and you knew that if I was his mate it would piss me off enough to want to fight Voldemort!" Dumbledore was a sneaky bastard!
"It is true, that I realized such would be the outcome, but I also saw two lonely people, desperately in need of companionship and love. Was I wrong to make the obvious connection?" Dumbledore questioned, quite willing to let Harry ruin his office as he had after Sirius death if it made the Gryffindor feel better.
Exhaling a couple of times, Harry returned to his seat, "No I suppose not.. I would have been angrier had I discovered this before Severus and I mated but now.. I can't imagine life without the snarky bastard." The insult was said with affection.
Dumbledore smiled, "Good."

Severus' hands were clenched tightly together beneath the table that he sat at with Voldemort and Lucius. Voldemort was quite unhappy that Harry Potter was causing dissension among two of his most respected Death Eaters, "Therefore, I have come to the conclusion," the Dark Lord spoke in his annoyingly nasal voice, "that Potter will be given to me, as my pet, and therefore will cause no further trouble for two of my favorite people." The man smiled sweetly as if he were doing them a favor.
Severus, on the other hand, was inwardly seething, there was no way in hell that he was handing his bondmate over to the Dark Lord but he had to go about this logically, "Excuse me Master for possibly stating the obvious but, Potter and I have already completed all of the mating rituals, to be split would not only ruin your greatest treasure, but one of your faithful followers as well."
The Dark Lord considered this a moment before reaching over and stroking Severus hand, "Have I not always said Severus that sacrifices must be made? Although I must admit I will be truly saddened to lose such a lovely talent as yourself."
Knowing that the Dark Lord was speaking of his own death, Severus sprang up, his hand darting out and clipping Lucius in the face as he sprang for him. Pulling out his wand, Severus had barely spoken the word, "Advada" when a jet of green light hit him in the chest and with sickening finality Severus knew that the Dark Lord had won- again.

When evening time came and Severus still hadn't returned, Harry truly began to worry, what if something had gone wrong? The Dark Lord was insane after all and Severus was in a house of wolves.. what if his true loyalties had been discovered? It was then that the sound of someone in the fireplace came to Harry and he turned to see Severus walking out, "Severus!" He called with relief as he went to the man and hugged him tightly. Severus' embrace felt stiff but Harry assumed that the man was simply tired, "What happened? Are you okay?" He asked as he drew the tall, dark man to the couch.
Severus wore a serene smile as he regarded Harry, "Everything is fine, the meeting just went longer than I had expected." The man seemed to be staring intently at Harry's neck as he reached out, "Where's your leash and collar?"
Harry's brow furrowed, why would he be wearing his leash and collar? "You said that you were taking it to get it made out of softer leather, for my skin, remember?" Harry lied.
"Oh, that's right, I guess I'm just so tired that it slipped my mind." Severus answered pleasantly.
Lunging, Harry tipped the couch over backwards as he pinned the imposter to the ground with his legs, his wand drawn beneath the man's chin, "Nothing ever slips Severus' mind," he snarled as he stared down into a stranger's face and then muttered something with his wand, his eyes watching in amazement as the body began to transfigure into the regal blonde form of Lucius Malfoy, his blue eyes smoldering with anger.
"Where's Severus?" Harry asked in a low, dangerous voice, so unlike his own.
"The Dark Lord gave him a taste of the Advada Kadavra," the blonde hissed, "I'd bring his dead body to you," he sneered, "except his body completely disappeared."
Harry's heart lurched, a sharp pain cut through his chest as if someone where ripping through his breast with a knife, "I am going to kill you." He told Lucius with a cold certainty.
Lucius merely smirked, "You haven't the balls to perform the Killing Curse, only those with murder in their hearts can."
Harry brought his lips close to Lucius' ear, his wand pressed into the man's chest, "Say hello to hell, Lucius. Advada Kadavra!" A blinding green light ripped through the room and when Harry opened his eyes Lucius limp form was the only thing that remained.
Standing up, Harry flicked his wand and watched as Lucius body began to burn. Turning, Harry hurried from the dungeons and went straight for Dumbledore's office, tearing past all of the old man's securities before landing in his office, "Tell me it's not true!"
Dumbledore looked up and for the first time since Harry could remember the man looked baffle, "About what Harry?" He questioned with worry.
Harry collapsed into his chair, "Severus still hasn't come back and Lucius Malfoy just showed up trying to impersonate him.. he said that Voldemort killed Severus." The reality of the words made Harry's voice hitch as he spoke, tears threatening his eyes.
"You're his bondmate, Harry, you should be able to feel whether or not something as drastic as death has taken place." Dumbledore said, coming around from behind his desk to sit by Harry.
"But.. But.." Harry knew that the tears were about to fall as he felt nothing but despair at the thought of Severus dead, "I can't feel anything!"
