Harry jumped out of his seat at the sound of his mate's voice and looked down, ashamed of himself for doubting his mate.

"I'm sorry, Severus. I didn't mean to discuss your personal business with anyone else." His voice was a whisper of subservience, no hint of who he really was in it at all.

Severus grabbed his chin and forced him to look up into those onyx orbs. "Mr. Potter, I believe that this conversation is one we had best have in the privacy of my chambers. Now, gather your belongings and follow me."

Harry did as he was told, grabbing the potion's text he'd been studying and rolling up his parchment of notes He left, giving his friends a small wave before taking off after his mate. His wings wrapped around his body, showing how insecure the Veela felt, how much he doubted himself and his mate.

Once they were in Severus's rooms, Severus sat on the couch, pulling his mate down on his lap. Feeling the boy stiffen in his arms, he tightened his grip and buried his nose in his mate's hair.

"I fear, Mr. Potter, that we have lost our course in this relationship and that is unacceptable. Now, we must have a conversation about the expectations each of us have and the desires we have for the continuation of this."

Harry nodded silently, waiting for Severus to reject him.

"What, in the name of Salazar, convinced you that I wanted you to be completely compliant to my wishes?"

Harry looked down at his hands. "Even before we were bonded, you were always complaining about what an insolent Gryffindor I was, always getting into trouble and being places I didn't belong. I knew how much it upset you, and I didn't want to upset you anymore. I- it hurts my Veela when you're angry with me. It feels like someone is simultaneously casting Cruciatus and suffocating me when you yell. So, rather than continue to fight you, to stand up to you, I decided that I would do whatever you said, that I would become the perfect mate. Doing everything you want me to doesn't hurt because it pleases you. Pleasing you is the only thing that makes me happy."

Severus tightened his grip on his mate, guilt washing over him. Harry Potter was fighting who he was because it made Severus angry and caused him physical pain. He cleared his throat as he searched frantically for something to say. Ensuring that Harry was warmly pressed into his chest, he took a deep breath.

"This complete subservience is not what I want in a mate, Mr. Potter. I don't need someone else to echo everything that I think; I have my own mind for that. A mate should be someone I can have a discussion with, someone I can have a debate with. Your Veela did not choose me for your mate because we were exactly alike. I was chosen because we compliment each other. We are supposed to disagree at times. All relationships are full of differences. The point of a relationship is to work together despite how different the two people are."

Harry looked up at him, emerald eyes glittering. "Y-you don't want me to become a copy of you?"

"Hardly. I find myself enjoying those moments when you stand up for everything that is Gryffindor and foolhardy. That is who you are, Mr. Potter, and I cannot help but enjoy seeing it."

Harry smiled, still looking unsure of himself. "So I'm allowed to disagree with you?"

Severus sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, looking down into his mate's eyes. "You may discuss your opinion with me on things that have nothing to do with your safety. However, if I make a decision for your safety, I expect you to agree and not to argue with me. We will not be having a repeat of the end of last year and the Ministry, am I understood."

Harry nodded and leaned his head against Severus's chest. "Thank you sir."

Severus set the boy down on the couch and stood up. "Yes, well, now that we've discussed that, I'm sure you have homework to complete and I myself have potions to make to ensure that our child is healthy. I expect you to be prepared for bed at a respectable time, your assignments complete and ready to turn in tomorrow."

Despite the harsh tone to his voice, his instructions made his mate smile and he swept into his lab without another word.

Harry sat up on the couch and scratched his head. He was confused by Severus's words. He knew how much it annoyed his mate when he was a foolhardy Gryffindor, but if that was what Severus wanted him to be, he would hardly fight with him. Pulling his Transfiguration text from his bag, he set back to complete the assignments Professor McGonagall had assigned on transfiguring animals into inanimate objects and vice versa.

He pulled out his wand and placed a piece of parchment on the table, pointing at it and reciting one of the animating spells.

"Animo Canis Charta."

The paper shifted and deformed, finally settling into the form of a medium sized black and white dog with blue eyes. Pleased with himself, Harry laughed and pet the dog lightly on the head.

"Hello boy. I wasn't expecting that to work, but it did. I suppose I'll have to transfigure you back into a piece of parchment though. I don't think Severus would approve of having a dog run around in his quarters. Its too bad though."

"On the contrary, Mr. Potter, in light of your achievement in transfiguring this dog, I believe that keeping him until the spell wears off would be quite alright with me. But you will be responsible for him until that time, understood?"

Harry looked up at his mate and nodded, happiness glinting in his eyes. Before Severus knew it, he had his arms full of emerald feathers and the boy was sobbing into his chest.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you so much. I promise that I'll keep doing good."

*Translation of spell: Literally "Animate Canine Paper"
