Chapter One
Malfoy Manor
May 28th
Lucius Malfoy walked into his study and poured himself a brandy. Walking over to his
hearth, he sat down and called one of his servants.
“You called Master?”
Lucius looked at the small elf. “Yes Nesbit. Please inform all my elfs and other servants
that Narcissa Black is no longer Lady Malfoy and is thus barred from the Manor on pain
of death. As such, I expect the elfs to get rid of those hideous rags you have been forced
to endure and once again wear the Malfoy House Elf uniform with dignity and pride.”
The house elf was almost bouncing with joy. “Yes Master! It will be done.”
Lucius smirked at the creature before looking once more into his cold hearth. “Please see
if you can locate Dobby and inform him of what has happened. Please tell him that Lord
Malfoy would like a word as soon as possible and guarantees his safety on his magic. Oh
and before you leave, please light my hearth.”
The elf bowed low. “Yes my Lord.”
Lucius picked up his drink and made himself comfortable, enjoying the heat from the
fire. The manipulative, backstabbing bitch was finally through. After all these years,
Lucius was able to take away her blackmail. Now lets see how she liked being on the
other end.
“Lord Malfoy?”
Lucius looked down at a frightened house elf that was holding one of its many hats in its
hands. “Be at ease Dobby. I have finally seized my Lordship in full and the reign of
Narcissa Black is at an end. I welcome you into the House of Malfoy.”
Dobby breathed a sign of relieve. “I is glad my Lord. I did not likes how she forced
Master.”
“Yes. Well those days are done. Have you done as I asked?”
Dobby bobbed his head up and down. “Yes my Lord. I protect Harry Potter just like you
said.”
Lucius smirked. “And does the boy suspect?”
Dobby shook his head. “No sirs. Harry Potter thinks that he freed Dobby from bad
Master. Harry Potter does not know Master good and sent Dobby on mission to protect
Harry Potter.”
Lucius leaned back. “I thank you Dobby.” Lucius snorted. “You know, I am in awe of the
boy. To think, at age one he destroyed the Dark Lords body and sent his soul out into the
world. He then survived living with vile muggles and oh am I going to have a few words
to say about that. During his first year in Hogwarts he not only saved the Sorcerers Stone
but he utterly destroyed a possessed teacher and once again sent the Dark Lord packing.
In his second year he kills a sixty feet Basilisk, destroys a Horucrux, rescues young Ms.
Weasle and oh my, defeats the Dark Lord again. Lets also not forget that by destroying
this Horucrux, he set me free of its Dark Spell thus leading us today. Then in his third
year, he confronts and if rumor is to be believed conjured a fully corporeal patronus
against the Dementors. In his forth year, he wins the triwizard’s tournament and
witnesses the rebirth of the Dark Lord” Lucius started to laugh at this point. “Only to
fight him to a standstill in a duel! Oh Merlin was that a wonderful site! Oh and then in his
fifth year, he held me, ME, and about a dozen more death eaters at bay in the Ministry.
Dobby I tell you it was amazing.”
Dobby looked at his master with concern. He had not scene his Master like this since
Lucius was under aged, before his marriage to the Narcissa. “Master are you all right?”
“Hum?” Lucius looked down. “Oh yes Dobby, I am perfectly alright. I am just finally
free to enjoy some of the boys more successful adventures, much to the despair of the
Dark Lord. Where was I? Oh yes, the Department of Mysteries. Well Mr. Potter fought
very well. Of course it took a lot of work on my part to keep the Death Eaters from truly
hurting him or his friends. All without being discovered. But it worked. I barely escaped
unnoticed. Oh, I forgot the best part, watching Black send Narcissa’s insane bitch of a
sister through the veal. Simply marvelous. In his sixth year, he did wonderfully in
defending Hogwarts when the Death Eaters attacked. Thank Merlin, I talked Draco into
going to Dumbledore. And then to just think of what he did last year.”
Lucius leaned back lost in his memories. Voldermort had declared both Severus Snape
and his son Draco as blood traitors to the cause for saving the life of Albus Dumbledore.
Right before the winter break, Voldermort with his forces had attacked Hogsmead, with
the goal of killing both his son and his best friend. Potter had thrown a port key, his own
personal one evidently, at his son, port keying Draco back to Hogwarts. He then fought
back to back with Severus until the Order arrived. Foolish but Lucius would forever be in
the boys debt.
The boy himself had turned into a very attractive wizard. He had allowed his hair to grow
past his shoulder blades, putting an end to his rats nest. He had also had his eyes
magically corrected and those lovely green gems where no longer hidden behind those
hideous monstrosities that used to grace his face. Speaking of his face, his lashes had
grown a bit. With his luscious lips, flush cheeks, and narrow lithe frame, he had the looks
of a pretty boy. Femininant but with just the right touches of masculinity added in. Oh
and that was not to mention the wonderful submissive pheromones the boys body was
exhuming the last time Lucius was in his presence. Unnoticeable to most, Lucius had just
the right amount of trace elements of veela blood to find them very intoxicating.
Lucius finally looked down at the elf. “Dobby, I want you to go to Mr. Potter and tell him
about what I ordered you to do in his second year and what really took place. It is alright
if you let him know I asked this of you. Do not tell him everything but just inform him
that changes have occurred that allow me to be myself and that we will speak soon.”
Dobby bobbed up and down. “Dobby does not understand. But Dobby will do as master
says.” The elf snapped his fingers and popped out.
Lucius stood and walked over to his desk. He pinned a quick note to his son and had his
owl deliver it. He leaned back in is chair and summoned his scotch. As expected, exactly
one hour later, the time required for his owl to reach Hogwarts and for his son to read his
note, the flames in his hearth went green and both his son and his best friend stepped out.
“Good evening Father.”
“And to you Draco. Good evening and welcomed my friend.” Replied Lucius.
Severus Snape nodded his head. “As to you Lucius.” Severus got to the point. “You
wished to speak with us?”
Lucius nodded. “Lets get comfortable before the fire. This is going to take a bit of
explaining.” They moved over to the two chairs facing the floo. Draco conjured a third
between the two, sat down and looked at his father expectantly.
Lucius offered both men a glass of brandy. He turned to Draco. “Are you prepared for
graduation?”
Draco swallowed. He knew that when the children of the Dark Lords children graduated
from Hogwarts, they were expected to present themselves to the Monster for branding.
Because of what Draco had done, if he presented himself to the Dark Lord and begged
forgiveness, he could expect outright torture at best or death at worse. However, it would
mean that his father would not have to disown him and besides, the Dark Lord needed
soldiers. His value as a spy against Dumbledore would be recognized. His father had
been looking for a way to get Draco out of it without success. Draco took a deep breath.
His graduation was two days away. “Yes father.” Translation, Draco had made plans to
disappear and hide from the Dark Lord. He was sad though that it would mean he would
not be able to see his father.
Lucius then smirked. “I think you will be pleased to note that you will not be required to
activate your plans.”
Severus frowned and leaned forward. Lucius agreed not to force Severus’s godson.
“Lucius..” started Severus with a warning.
Lucius just turned his smirk at the Potions Master and held up his hand, canceling the
glamour over his finger. Magic pulsed from the ring proclaiming the Lord of the Malfoy
family. Both Draco and Severus inhaled sharply. Draco studdered. “Y..you found it?”
Lucius gave a snort. “Recovered it is the word you are looking for. Needless to say, the
Bitch is no longer a part of the equation and Draco never needs to be in the presence of
that Snake faced bastard.”
Draco fought to bring his breathing back under control. Severus leaned forward. “Lucius
what have you done?”
Lucius swirled his brandy, admiring the color. “Lets see. The ring was hidden in Riddle
Manor under various dark spells. I spent most of the morning dismantling those spells
and claiming what was rightfully mine. Narcissa of course noticed immediately and came
to the room it was in with no less than four Death Eaters including that McNair animal. A
quick little duel had the Death Eaters nicely bound and as Lord Malfoy I proclaimed
Narcissa Black a blood traitor to the Malfoy clan and divorced her on the spot. I was port
keying out when the Dark Lord put in his appearance, so I think its safe to say that he is
aware that the Malfoys are no longer his slaves.”
Draco had tears running down his cheeks. “I..I…can s..still be your son? I don’t have
to…”
Lucius stood up and gathered his child in his arms and kissed his forehead. “That is
exactly what I mean. You will never have to see or deal with either that Bitch or
Voldermort again. We are free.”
It took a few minutes for his son to calm himself and retake his seat but when he did, it
was with a smile that could light the heavens. He asked. “So what now?”
Lucius leaned back. “Thanks to my idiot of a father and what I have been forced to do
these last twenty years, the Malfoy name is loathed. I doubt that the Light side will
readily accept my assistance.”
Severus took a drink. “Perhaps. On the other hand, Dumbledore is always going on about
second chances.”
Lucius looked over to his friend. “Sev, I don’t trust Dumbledore. You risked all to
become his spy and look how you are treated by the Light side. Dumbledore might give
you a bit of respect but he none the less sees you as one of his pawns.”
Severus scowled at truth in that statement. “I assume you have a plan?”
Lucius leaned back and smirked. Severus thought his smirk was getting irritating.
“Indeed I do.” He quickly laid out his plan.
Severus looked over at the shock look on his Godson’s face then back at his friend.
“Lucius are you sure about this? The brat can be insufferable at times.”
Lucius did not answer but just looked at his son. “Draco?”
Draco took a deep breath. “Well to be honest father, on the surface your plan is brilliant. I
think he would accept for three reasons. First, he recently came out of the closet, so I
know for a fact he is gay. Second, he does not give the time of day to any of his peers,
leading me to believe he prefers older men.”
Lucius interrupted. “How do you know that Draco?”
Draco turned the glass in his hand and looked up at the ceiling. “Several of our year
mates have hit on him since he came out. He has turned all of them down flat. But what
convinces me is a confrontation between him and Justin Flitch-Finney. The Hufflepuff
tried to lure him into an alcove and he basically laughed in Flitch-Finney’s face. His
exact words were ‘What makes you think I want some inexperienced, immature and
annoying little boy fumbling his pecker ineptly behind my arse?”
All three snickered at that. Lucius took a final swig of his brandy. “I think he has been
spending and inordinate amount of time in your company Sev.”
Severus smirked. “I only have been giving him lessons in Occlumency and dueling. I can
not help it if the brat is picking up on my wit.”
Draco snorted. “Snark is more like it. As I was saying, I think he prefers older men. My
third reason that I think he will go for it is that despite Uncle Sev’s best efforts, he still
suffers from that irritating Gryffindor Hero Complex of his. He will sacrifice his own
needs for the greater good.” Draco finished this with a sneer.
Severus snorted. “I agree.”
Lucius looked thoughtful. “I believe that I will need to break him of that habit.”
Draco leaned forward. “Father, why would you choose him? He is not exactly friendly
towards are family and there is also the issue of his blood.”
“He is right Lucius. The boy is a half blood after all.” Severus knew that Lucius really
was not that hung up on blood purity, it was nothing more than another cover to protect
him and his son from the Dark Lord. It was time he informed his son as such.
Lucius sneered at the Potions Master. “What your Godfather is not so subtlety trying to
get me to admit Draco, is that I really don’t give a damn about blood purity. Do not
misunderstand me, I really do not like muggles and don’t like how the muggle born
ignore our culture and attempt to change it. However, I am not the blood purest most
make me out to be.”
Draco smirked. “I have already realized that Father. After all, you were the one that told
me to mouth the words of others in order to not draw attention to ourselves. Having said
that, you know Potter will believe it is still an issue.”
Lucius smirked. “Actually I think he will believe it is not an issue do to this rather than
me professing my beliefs.” He summoned a document from his desk and handed it over
to his son.
Draco quickly read the document and his eye brows shot up. “Interesting.” He handed it
over to his God Father.
Severus had the same reaction. “Interesting indeed.” He looked up and over to his friend.
“That still does not answer his mistrust of all things Malfoy.”
Lucius sighed. “I will just have to deal with that as it comes. So, will you inform your
Headmaster that Lord Malfoy wishes an audience with him and his Golden Boy?”
Severus nodded. “Of Course.”
Headmasters Office
Hogwarts
May 29th
Albus looked over to his Potions Master once more. “Severus, I would really prefer if
you told me why Lucius wishes to see both me and Harry.”
Severus folded his arms and scowled. “And I have already told you that he prefers to
speak for himself. Suffice it to say that it is well worth your time as well as Potters.”
Albus popped one of his beloved lemon drops. “That is not really helping Severus.
Lucius had never exactly been friendly with Harry. In point of fact, he attempted to kill
him on two separate occasions. I need more before I risk having Harry in the same room
with him.”
Severus rolled his eyes. “I give you my word that Potter will be perfectly fine.”
Albus popped another lemon drop as he eyed the other wizard. “Alright Severus. You
have never lied to me. If you will vouch for Mr. Malfoy’s behavior, then I will accept that
you will be able to deliver. However, I have a few conditions before this meeting. First,
Lucius will take an oath not to harm anyone in the meeting. Second, I want some Order
members present.”
Severus narrowed his eyes. “This meeting is not for a general audience Albus. Lucius has
something we really want but he is not going to agree to a general inquisition!”
Albus popped another lemon drop. “I was not thinking of the full Order Severus. But I
think Harry should have a few that he feels comfortable with and trusts. Therefore,
Remus, Sirius and Minerva will be present.”
Severus scowled. “You picked three that despise Lucius and at least one that will not be
willing to listen to what he has to say.”
Albus shrugged. “It could be worse Severus. I could have insisted that the Weasley’s be
present.”
Severus jumped up. “Are you mad? Do you want to ruin this meeting before it even
starts?”
Albus’s eyes started to twinkle. “Which is why I am not inviting the Weasley’s. The
others are non negotiable.”
Severus resumed his seat. “Fine. But I insist that Sinistra and Draco also be present.”
Albus almost smirked. “Trying to match us number for number? I would point out Harry
is still ahead by one, more if you consider the fact that both you and Sinistra work for
me.”
Severus did not respond, only glared.
Albus signed. The man just did not have a sense of humor. “Alright. Lets say, one hour in
my office.
Exactly one hour later
Lord Lucius Malfoy walked into the Headmasters office impeccably dressed as usual. He
took the indicated seat between his son and Severus and gave a nod at the others in the
room. Professor Victoria Sinistra was seated to the right of Severus. On the other side of
the room sat a glaring Sirius Black, a pensive Remus Lupin and a disapproving Minerva
McGonagall. Between Black and Lupin sat his interest, Harry Potter.
To Lucius’s surprise, the boy looked attentive and interested in what had brought the
Malfoy Lord to Hogwarts. There was no anger or distaste on his face. On the other hand,
there was also no welcome either.
The headmaster leaned forward and folded his hands on his desk. “Shall we begin? Lord
Malfoy, if you would give your oath please.”
Lucius turned to the Headmaster. “Only if all of us do the same.” Black started to protest
and Lucius held up his hand. “I insist. As you desire your safety, I think it only fair to
request mine.”
Albus nodded. “That is acceptable. Everyone hold up their wand and swear on your
magic not to harm any during this meeting.” The oath was taken by all, though a bit
reluctantly by some. “Very good. Lord Malfoy, I believe it was you that requested this
meeting?”
Lucius nodded. “Indeed. If I might be permitted one final oath, to put your minds at
ease?” Getting the nod from the Headmaster, Lucius once again raised his wand. “I Lord
Lucius Malfoy of the Ancient and Noble House of Malfoy, swear on my magic that all I
am about to say is the absolute truth as far as I know it.”
Albus looked at the other order members present. With the exception of Sirius, they
seemed to accept the oath as advertised. He turned back to Lord Malfoy. “Please
continue.”
Lucius folded his hands over his snake cane. “My story starts twenty seven years ago
with my father, Lord Abraxis Malfoy. I was ten years old at the time when a dark wizard
by the name of Tom Marvolo Riddle.”
Albus of course knew the story of Tom Riddle. However it would be interesting to hear it
from a different perspective. He popped one of his favored lemon drops and continued to
listen to Lord Malfoy’s story.
“From what I remember and from what I have learned, Riddle was a gifted speaker. He
spoke about the importance of preserving Wizarding culture before the intrusions of
muggle customs. He also talked about securing the wizarding world against the threat
posed by the muggles and their weapons. This appealed to many powerful purebloods,
whom felt that their concerns were being ignored by the Ministry in favor of appeasing
the Muggle Born population.”
Lucius took a sip from his tea. “At first, the movement was political in nature, an attempt
to get the powers that be to take notice and impliment reformations. You must understand
that I had been raised on the pureblood supremacy and politics in general and this was
heady stuff to my ten year old self.”
Albus spoke. “I remember this. However, Tom’s message was racist in nature, which is
why his group was not taken seriously.”
Lucius nodded. “I understand that now. However, when I was ten, I did not understand
how smart wizards and witches would not listen to the reasoning of my idol. After a few
years, a new issue came up, that of the Dark Arts. Because most supporters of Riddle
where practitioners of the Dark Arts, various Light wizards started to use this against
those that supported Riddle. Various regulations against the Dark Arts were past and the
Ministry started to raid our Manors in search for Dark artifacts. Many where
imprisoned.”
Harry spoke up. “Excuse my interruption Mr. Malfoy but are you saying that the Ministry
started the war?”
Lucius looked right into the boy’s eyes. “That I precisely what I am saying Mr. Potter.”
Harry turned to Dumbledore. “Sir is this true?”
Albus looked at his protégé sadly. “I am afraid so Harry. At the time it was scene as a
way to discredit Tom’s followers. I advised caution at the time but as if often the case
when passions are involved, reason and logic are ignored.”
Sirius leaned forward and grasped his Godsons hands. “Cub, the war was inevitable. You
Know Who would have eventually attacked anyway. I am not saying that the Ministry
was right, but it did get in a few good licks first.”
Lucius scowled. “And your family Black, was one of the first targets. Have you never
wondered why your cousin turned from a quiet little girl into the mad woman we all came
to know and love?” Lucius again forestalled the mutts protest by speaking directly to
Harry. “In a way, your Godfather is correct Mr. Potter. Though it was not realized at the
time, the Dark Lord did have conquest on the mind. Unfortunately, the Ministry gave him
the excuse he was looking for.”
Lucius took another sip of his tea. “I was in my forth year at the time. The Ministry had
just raided Malfoy Manor. My father was many things, but stupid was not one of them.
All of my families dark artifacts had long been removed from the Manor and placed in a
vault under Goblin protection and not even the Ministry is mad enough to challenge the
Goblins. This did not stop the Ministry however. They stormed the Manor with over fifty
Auror’s most of which were unseasoned and told to expect the worse. Abraxis was with
the Dark Lord and the only ones home at the time where my Mother and the Lady Nott.
Upon feeling the wards brought down, they had walked out of the Library and surprised
one of the Aurors, who killed both women on site. While my father was not a kind man
and I believe had little love for my mother, he used her death for the Dark Lords benefit.
The Dark Lord and my father proclaimed the Ministry’s “evil war” on the purebloods and
attacked the Ministers own Manor in retaliation, killing all present including the Minister
himself. Hostilities quickly escalated and the Dark Lord started to slowly introduce the
attacks on the muggle community that we are now familiar with.”
Lucius paused and made sure that everyone, especially the green eyed boy, was still with
him. “This brings us to me. On my sixteenth birthday, I was brought before the Dark
Lord. By this time the Death Eater meetings where just as they are today. I was forced to
watch muggle men, women and children brutally tortured and murdered. My father
particularly enjoyed casting crucio on little boys. I was sickened beyond all belief. I was
told that I would have one week to return and either accept the Dark Mark or be declared
a blood traitor. I did understand that if I did as I wanted, I would be disinherited and
striped of the Malfoy name. Not to mention, I would be signing my own death warrant.
Not very appealing.”
Lucius accepted a refresh on his tea. “Still, I did not want to become a sick murderer and
was disgusted at what my idol and father had become. I was greatly tempted to take what
money I could and flee to America.”
Albus leaned forward with interest. “Why did you never come to me Lucius? After all I
helped Severus here.”
Lucius looked over. “To be perfectly honest, I did not know what you did for Severus at
the time. Furthermore I did not trust you. I did not believe that you could keep me safe
from Abraxis and as was later discovered, this belief was accurate.”
Lucius turned back to Harry and spoke directly to him. “The week would prove eventful.
A few days after my meeting with the Dark Lord, Abraxis summoned me to the Manor. I
found him on his death bed. It ends up he had been in battle with the Aurors and had been
hit with a blood curse. He had mere hours to live. I thought that Merlin himself had
smiled on me. However that was not to be the case. Somehow Abraxis knew that I was
planning to separate myself from the Dark Lord. He told me in no uncertain terms that I
would be bonded to Narcissa Black and that he had already given her the Malfoy Family
Ring to control me.”
Sirius spoke. “Fuck! That’s… That’s… I don’t even know what to say to that!”
Harry looked at him then back to Lucius. “I don’t understand.”
His Head of House spoke to him. “The Ancient Houses, that is those that were around
during Merlin’s time each developed a ring of authority and imbedded it with the magic
of their house. The ring gives the Lord of the family final say in all decisions and
disputes. Used correctly, it helps the Lord insure his house flourishes. In the wrong
hands, though, it can destroy the entire house.”
Sirius nodded his agreement. “That is correct cub. It is why, even though my parents
wanted to disown me, I have the Black ring today. Ensuring the survival of the Black
family supercedes their disapproval of me.”
Harry turned his head. “Is the Potter’s one of the ancient Houses?”
Sirius smiled. “Yes Harry. Your family ring is in the Potter family vault that is to be
handed over to you once you graduate Hogwarts. You will become Lord Potter. Until
then, you are referred to as the Potter heir.”
Lucius added. “It is tradition Mr. Potter. I myself would not have gained the Malfoy ring
under normal circumstances until my graduation even though my father was dieing.”
Harry mumbled. “Why does no one ever tell me these things!” Remus smiled and ruffled
the boys hair, infuriating the young wizard just all the more.
Sirius decided to distract him and get the conversation back on track. “I assume that
Narcissa was to use the ring against you.”
Lucius nodded. “Correct. My father would have the Malfoy’s slaves to the Dark Lord or
not to exist at all. Narcissa was very cleaver. She knew that once my father died, only the
ring would protect her from my wrath. She hid it from me and no amount of patience on
my part changed this fact. The Dark Lord of course was informed and I was crucio’d for
my “weakness” and then branded with the dark mark. To further insure my obedience, a
dark spell was caste on me, tying my loyaltie to a certain diary.”
Harry looked up his eyes going wide. Lucius smirked. “Oh yes Mr. Potter. He used that
horrid book to more than just one purpose. As long as it existed, I was compelled to work
my very best towards the Dark Lords goals. And under control or not, I am a very bright
and inventive wizard. It propelled me to the very top of the Dark Lord’s ranks. Your
destruction of the diary freed me of this control and my allowed me to work towards
freeing the Malfoy family.”
Harry twisted his head. “Ok, I can see that you would be a good little minion up to the
point that I destroyed Voldermort’s Diary. So how come you supported the Dark Lord in
the Grave Yard and what of the Department of Mysteries.”
Lucius leaned back. “Ah, yes. You would wish to know of those events. Bear in mind
that Narcissa still had my ring hiddened and not just me and Draco were threatened but
the entire Malfoy family. You must understand that nothing is more important to a
pureblood than the survival of their house. So, I had to keep my cover and pretend to be
the good little Death Eater and lap dog of that snake faced bastard. In the graveyard, I
will admit that I was at a loss on how to get you out of there without destroying the
Malfoy clan. If you recall, we were grossly outnumbered and if I had reveled myself, then
all I would have accomplished would be my death, which in turn would result in the
destruction of my entire House and you still would not have gotten away. Forgive me for
saying this, but at the time, I did not consider helping you a viable option.”
Harry nodded. “Well that is honest enough.” Sirius on the other hand was back to glaring
at Lucius.
Lucius nodded. “I will deny I ever said this if its repeated but I actually did something
that I loath. I trusted in your luck in getting out of sticky situations and it worked.”
Harry held in a giggle. “Alright, that explains the graveyard, what about the Department
of Mysteries?”
Lucius smiled at that. “Well first, let me say how impressed I was with you and your
friends. Imagine six school children holding off a dozen fully grown and evil Death
Eaters. I am not ashamed to say that your performance gave me hope for the future.” He
looked right into Harry’s eyes. “Let me ask you something. Did you notice how certain
deadly curses seemed to miss you and your friends?”
Harry nodded then his eyes widened. “You did something, didn’t you?”
Lucius smirked. “Yes. I was jinxing my fellow Death Eaters aim.”
Sirius snorted. “Yeah right. Malfoy you seemed to forget holding Harry and wand point
and me dueling you afterwards.”
Lucius looked over to the mutt. “And you seem incapable of recognizing a stall when you
see it. Also I would point out that in school, you never won a duel against me yet was
able to disarm me in mere seconds in that chamber. I wonder why.” He added
sarcastically.
Before Sirius could retort, Remus spoke. “Remember, he took an oath on his magic to
speak the truth.” He looked over at Lucius. “There is something that I have been
wondering. You have not been present at the last few confrontations with Voldermort.
You are after all his right hand man.”
Lucius nodded. “I assume you are referring to both the attacks on Hogwarts and last
Decembers attack on Hogsmead? I was actually on a mission in Russia at the time of the
attack on Hogwarts. I believe that I was starting to come under suspicion. And for
obvious reasons, I was not included in the attack on Hogsmead which goal was to kill my
son and Severus.”
Albus leaned back. “Thank you for sharing your story with us Lucius. I assume though
that you are not here merely to explain your side.”
Lucius turned to the old man. “Indeed. Telling my story was solely for the benefit of Mr.
Potter. Which I will explain in a few minutes. I also believe it necessary for you to
understand why I acted in the manner I did and so that you will understand what has
transpired over the last twenty four hours.”
Lucius held up his hand and dropped the glamour hiding his ring. Albus’s eyes were
twinkling. “I see you have recovered your ring. I take it then you intend to pursue a
different course.”
Lucius lowered his hand. “Indeed. The Malfoy destiny is back in my hands where it
belongs. You should know that I confronted Narcissa in the Dark Lord’s lair last night. I
have divorced her and declared her a blood enemy of the Ancient and Noble House of
Malfoy. She is now forbidden to enter any Malfoy lands on pain of death. I have also
altered all my wards to excluded active Death Eaters.”
Sirius whistled and turned to Harry to explain. “Cub, he has stripped my cousin of all the
protections of the Malfoy family. By declaring her a blood enemy, he has invoked the
ancient blood vendetta laws of the Ministry. This means that he is free to engage her in a
duel to the death without repercussions from the Ministry. Malfoy here is a better dueler
than her so she would be wise to avoid him at all costs.” He turned back to Malfoy. “You
know this reverts her back to the authority of my house.”
Lucius set down his teacup and leaned back. “Do you honestly want her in your house
given what she is?”
Sirius sneered. “Absolutely not. Well, since she is a Black again…” Sirius pulled out his
wand. “For treason against her house in associating with our enemies, I Sirius Black,
Lord of the Ancient and Noble House of Black, expel Narcissa from the House and strip
her of the Black name. so mute it be.”
Harry turned from his godfather and looked over to Lucius. “Excuse me Mr. Malfoy but
does this mean that Voldermort knows and will mark you as an enemy?”
Lucius folded his hands over his snake cane. “Indeed he will.”
McGonagall asked “While this has been interesting and I am rather grateful that You
Know Who has lost his top man, I must ask, why are you here Mr. Malfoy? And why did
you insist on Mr. Potters presence.”
Lucius turned to the witch. “Simple my good woman. I have a proposal to make and I
wanted to assure that you would be receptive before I made it.”
Albus leaned forward. “By all means Mr. Malfoy.”
Lucius also leaned forward. “I assume you are aware that the Dark Lord has created
horcruxes? Seven to be precise.”
There were several sharp intakes of breath. Albus nodded and turned to Harry to explain.
“Harry, a horcrux is a very dark object. It is created when a wizard splits their soul into a
given magical object. The spell requires a murder to work. If the wizard dies, then the
horcrux can be used to bring the wizard back. However splitting ones soul diminishes
your humanity and creates great damage to you.” Albus turned back to Lucius. “I know
that the Diary was one and I also suspected that it was how he came back. I also
suspected that there were more but not seven.” Albus looked at Harry’s curse scar and
wondered.
Seeing this Severus spoke. “No Headmaster. Potter’s scar is not a Horcrux. I verified this
in our occlumency lessons. It does bind him to the Dark Lord and I believe did serve to
transfer the some of the Dark Lords power to him. However, there is no soul fragment in
him.”
Sirius mumbled. “Thank Merlin for that.”
Lucius could see that Harry was confused. “Your curse scar is very peculiar. Given that
you display some of the gifts of the Dark Lord, it is easy to assume that you might
contain one of his soul fragments. However, the Dark Lord had already created his
seventh and final horcrux a year before he came to your families house.”
Harry frowned. “I don’t understand. Why seven? Why not eight or ten or twenty?”
Severus answered him. “Eight times is the maximum amount you can split your soul
without killing yourself. The Eighth part would remain in you, hence only seven
maximum horcruxes. But even this is extremely dangerous and is the reason that the Dark
Lord is barely human. When you create a horcrux, it bounds your remaining soul to this
plain making it possible to return to life.”
Albus spoke up. “That is correct Harry. This is why Voldermort was able to be a spirit for
so long and how he was able to possess certain wizards such as poor Professor Quirel.”
He then addressed Lucius. “Am I to understand that you not only know what his
horcruxes are but you also know where they are?”
Lucius nodded. “Yes. He is not aware of my knowledge but twenty years of painstaking
work was allowed me to uncover the truth.”
Sirius sneered. “And just what do you want for this information Malfoy?”
Lucius turned to him. “Simple Black. As I have already stated, family is everything to
me. I will not only give this information to the Order but will help you seize and destroy
the Horcruxes. I will then aid you in luring the Dark Lord into battle and will fight along
side you. Finally, I agree to give full disclosure and testimony on everything I know
about the Death Eaters, which is considerable. In return, I demand the following. First, as
head of the Wizengamont, Albus Dumbledore will grant me a full pardon for all past
deeds. Second, he will also insure that the Ministry leaves my family and our holdings
alone. Third, Draco will be provided full protection and shelter until the end of the war.
Forth, I want my family aligned with the Light. As such, Mr. Potter will agree to bond to
me as my submissive husband.”
The Gryffindors, with the surprising exception of Harry, immediately started protested.
Remus shouted, “Oh I don’t think So!” Minerva added. “That is not acceptable!” And
Sirius finished with, “Over my dead body Malfoy!”
Albus rubbed his hands over his face and then stood up. “QUIET!” The three turned at
watched him resume his seat. He turned to his protégé. “Harry?”
Harry looked at Malfoy for a few moments then turned to the Head Master. “Sir could I
speak privately with Mr. Malfoy for a few moments?”
Sirius was instantly on his knees before the boy with both hands on his arms. “Harry, you
don’t have to do this. We can find another way.”
Harry placed a hand on Sirius’s face and whispered. “Siri, I have to find out for myself.
Please, just let me speak with him.”
Sirius searched his face before giving a reluctant nod. He stood and growled at Malfoy.
“You do anything to him and I swear that they won’t be able to recognize your body.”
Draco smirked and spoke for the first time. “I think you should remember your oath
Cousin. Besides, they are only going to talk. Father, you are good at silencing charms,
why don’t you and Potter go take a walk while Black here can entertain me with stories
of his pranks.”
Sirius stuttered. “Entertain you!” Remus smirked and whispered in his ears. “Want to
embarrass Snape in front of his Godson, here is a golden opportunity.” With this thought
Sirius smirked and agreed.
Lucius rolled his eyes. Thank Merlin for his son and his son’s ability at distraction. He
gestured to Harry and both Wizards quietly walked down the stairs and out of the castle.
Lucius pulled out his wand and cast a silencing charm around them. They made their way
to the lake where Harry stopped and turned to the blond wizard.
“Alright. Why on Earth would you insist on marrying me? I understand why you did
what you did. And while I am willing to see your side and forgive you, that does not
mean I exactly like you let allow love you. You just got out of one bad marriage, why
would you try another?”
Lucius looked down at the gorgeous but demanding little creature. “There are many
different reasons. Lets cover the selfish and self-serving ones first. I do not trust easily
except for where family is involved. I am very much aware that alliances can end and
apparent allies can turn on you when convenient. However family is different. Family
protects family. You are the icon of light. As my husband, the Light side will not dare
move against me or my family, as it would mean moving against you.” They had started
walking again and Lucius looked down on his companion. “You might be interested in
knowing that the main reason I trust Severus with my very life is because we bonded as
blood brothers many years ago.”
“Also, having you as a member of my family does boost the Malfoy name. The last
twenty years have turned my name into a thing of scorn and ridicule. By joining our
houses in marriage, the Malfoy name will go a long way to recovering its former polish.”
“Then there is the fact that you are a very powerful wizard. Any children from our union,
yes Mr. Potter you are fully capable of getting pregnant since you’re a wizard, will be
equally if not more powerful.”
Harry scowled at the blond. “Your right, those are very self serving and I find it
contemptible that you would hold the safety of the wizarding world hostage in order to
gain my agreement. Also, there is the fact that I am a half-blood. I would think you would
not care to soil your line with my “dirty blood”.
Lucius smirked. “Do you honestly believe that you of all people would have his blood
held against him? After all you are the Harry Potter.” Lucius reached out and stopped the
raven haired wizard. “Actually, I could tell you that my stance on blood purity was
nothing more than a ploy to keep me and Draco safe. However, I doubt you are prepared
to believe that. So let me tell you why your blood is of no consequence.”
He pulled out and handed over a roll of documents held together by a green ribbon. “I
will summarize what is contain in those documents. I have been interested in you for a
while, so I set out to learn all I could about you. This was not easy to find. Thirty six
years ago a pureblood family was thought to have been wiped out, the Trents, to be
precise. Jefferson and Gloria Trent were at the time the only living of their House at the
time. They were both single children and both sets of parents were passed away. They
evidently had a daughter, Meagan. For some strange reason the small family moved into
muggle London. Shortly thereafter, Jefferson and Gloria were murdered during a robbery
of a muggle bank. Their daughter was taken to a muggle orphanage that is now closed
down. About two months later she was adopted by Greg and Angela Evans, and renamed
Lily. I can only assume that they never told her that she was adopted.”
Harry was looking at him in pure shock. Lucius continued. “Now the Ministry had lost all
track with her until her magical signature was strong enough to register in the Book of
Souls when she was five. The Ministry mistook her for muggle born and the rest as they
say is history. However, Lily Evans or rather Meagan Trent, was very much a pureblood
and not a muggle born. Which of course makes you a pureblood.”
Harry gulped. “How…how did you find this out?”
Lucius frowned. “It was not easy. The muggle government agency in charge of
maintaining adoption records is notorious for its ineptitude. I was attempting to trace the
muggle side of your ancestry when I ran into a peculiar fact. Your mother was added to
the family will when she was two years old. I thought this strange especially when I
noticed that your supposed Aunt was immediately added on at her birth.”
“I could find not a single record or birth certificate for Lily Evans prior to the age of two.
It took several search spells though muggle records before I found the adoption papers
explaining why. Which in turn helped me back trace to the Trent family. You should
know that you are the last surviving Heir to the Trent fortune.”
Harry brushed that away and got back to the point. “So I am a pureblood. Your reasons
are still selfish and I am no more inclined to accept then I was before.”
Lucius gently cupped the boys chin and had him look into his eyes. “Well, those were
just the evident and as you say selfish reasons. Now for the personal reasons and for me,
the more important. I have admired you since I met you during your second year. Each
year your accomplishments added to my admiration. However it was not until the
department of Mysteries that I noticed what an attractive wizard you were turning into.
Now this would make me a lecherous old man and I really had no intention of doing
anything about it.”
“However, you saving my son changed my stance. I had come to personally thank you
when I noticed you in a hall with your friends. Not only had you grown into a very
attractive young man but you smelled absolutely delicious.”
Harry blushed. “I smelled?”
Lucius folded his arms. “Oh yes. Many don’t know it but I have just enough veela blood
to smell the pheromones of certain wizards and yours are intoxicating. I do not wish to
embarrass you but you have the scent of fresh grass and cut flowers. It is the scent of the
promise of spring. This combined with the submissive pheromones you pump out
commands my attention.”
Harry blushed and looked down. “Submissive? I don’t think I like the sound of that.”
Lucius gently forced him to look up again. “Do not confuse submissive with weak. Tell
me something, and I swear that I will not repeat it, when you fantasize do you dream of
penetrating or being penetrating and your partner being in control?”
Harry’s blush deepened and he did not answer directly. “Alright I see your point. So you
are attracted to me. Fine I accept that. I think you are equally attractive. Actually if you
don’t mind me saying so, I think your hot. However, I still don’t love you and I am not at
all inclined to marry you or fuck me for that matter.”
Lucius chuckled at the boys frankness. “Yes I had heard you have a tendency of being
frank to those you want sexual relations with you. Refreshing. Harry, may I call you
Harry? While nothing would make me happier that to steal you away to my Manor and to
be blunt, pound you into the mattress, sex is not all I want from you.”
Lucius turned and looked out at the lake. “You are attractive, intelligent and powerful.
You would enhance my family name and provide me with powerful children. In turn, I
am also intelligent and powerful and you have admitted attractive. I would also enhance
your standing and provide you with powerful children. We are a good match for all these
reasons.”
Lucius took a deep breath. “Most pureblood marriages are arranged. Sometimes the
couple can find common ground and live together. Sometimes they become lucky and fall
in love with one another. Arthur and Molly Weasley are a good example and yes their
marriage was arranged. But sometimes you end up with a demon like Narcissa.”
Lucius turned back to face Harry. “My primary reason for wanting your hand in marriage
is because of who you are. I have learned much about you and I like what I learned. You
have a forgiving and understanding nature. You are very loyal to those you love and ask
very little in return. And more importantly, I have learned that you value family as much
as I do. I firmly believe that given the chance we can both grow to love one another and
have a happy family. That is what I want Harry, a chance at happiness.”
Lucius looked back out at the lake. “I realize that I am being selfish in insisting that you
Marry me in order to end the war. I also realize this is very unattractive but I could not
help myself.” Lucius took a deep breath. “And I am willing to risk it all.” He hesitated for
a moment then decided to go with his impulsiveness. “I ask that you keep what I am
about to say to yourself. I fear that if you revealed it, the others would stop you from
making your own decision.”
Harry only took a moment to considered then nodded his agreement. Lucius took another
breath and picked up Harry’s hands again. “Harry, what I am about to offer scares me as
nothing else has but I realize that forcing you into things is no way to gain your trust. I
will not force you to sign a marriage contract in order to end the war. I will still help you
and provide the Order with information. I will just have to find another way to protect the
Malfoys. But I ask that you still consider agreeing to signing a marriage contract with
me.”
Harry looked into his eyes and then asked “Just one question. When you say submissive
husband, what do you mean?”
Lucius smiled. “You will be agreeing to take the Malfoy name as yours and in the
bedroom will submit to me, which I believe we have established is your preference.”
Harry blushed. “And what of our children? Will you force them to be Malfoy’s and
adhere to your wishes when it comes time for them to marry?”
Lucius hesitantly ran his finger down the boys check. “I am allowing Draco to choose for
himself and will extend the same courtesy to our children. In fact, while they will be born
with the Malfoy name, I will agree not to have the Potter or Trent name die. If our
children desire it, I will allow you to proclaim them your heir and take the Lordship and
name of your houses.”
Harry nodded. “What else would be expected of me as your submissive?”
Lucius was finding it difficult to control his desires to claim the boy. “I will of course be
head of house and would ask that you publicly support me. However, we will be equals
and I agree to make decisions as equals. I also expect fidelity.”
It was reasonable. Harry though still had questions. “Were you faithful to Narcissa?”
Lucius stepped back. “No. In most pureblood marriages, extra marital affairs are the
norm. Also I am gay not bi-sexual. I was forced to wed that Bitch and I only performed
my duty once, just enough to create Draco. However, just as Narcissa did, I also had
lovers and dalliances on the side.”
Harry hissed. “If, and this is a big if, I agree to marry you, I would also demand fidelity.”
Lucius smiled at him. “Harry, Narcissa was forced on me. You are someone I want. If
you do agree to be my husband, there will not be anyone but you.”
Harry nodded, satisfied with the answer. “Well, I appreciate that you are giving me a
choice and are lifting the burden of having the warn depend on it. I am not so sure as you
are that we could fall in love with one another. There is a lot between us. I will however
keep my promise and not tell the others what you have told me, except the bit about my
mother being a pureblood. I will also seriously consider your offer.” Harry looked up.
“When were you thinking of going after these horcruxes?”
Lucius steered them back towards the castle. “Well I think the element of surprise would
dictate prior to your graduation. He would not be expecting it. I think we go after the
horcruxes tonight. We can rest up in the early morning, then destroy the vile things. After
which I can send a very insulting message absolutely guaranteeing the Dark Lords
immediate response. We fight and defeat him the follow night, graduate the day after and
then we all move on with the rest of our lives.”
Harry looked up at him. “Don’t you think that is rushing things a bit?”
Lucius looked down at him in return. “Normally I would agree. However, with the Dark
Lord, it is best to strike when he is angered and not thinking well. So, sooner the better.”
Harry nodded. “Will your message really get him to come to the battle of our choice?”
Lucius smirked. “I can absolutely guarantee it.”
Harry nibbled his lip. “Do you have the marriage contract on you?” Lucius nodded and
handed it over. Harry considered for a moment as they reached the gargoyle. He stopped
Lucius before they headed up. “I will give you my answer by this evening.”
Sirius immediately descended on them. “Are you alright cub? What took so long? So
help me Malfoy if you did…”
Harry stopped him. “Relax Siri. Everything is fine.” He looked at the headmaster. “Sir I
think you should summon the full Order. I have some thinking to do and I think it wise
that you all develop contingency plans.”
Albus came over to the boy and pulled him aside. “Harry, I find Lord Malfoys offer to
end this war soon very tempting. But I will not force you into such a life altering
decision. If you decide not to accept, know that you will have my full support and we will
find another way.”
Harry looked at the elder wizard and smiled. “Thank you Professor. I am very grateful for
your faith and support. Sir I need to be alone for a bit. Would you mind distracting the
others while I slip away?”
Albus squeezed his shoulder. “Are you alright child?”
Harry gave him a smile. “I am fine sir, honest. I just have a lot to consider and I don’t
want everyone else telling me what they think I should do.”
Albus nodded. “I understand. I am still worried for you my boy. Where are you going to
go?”
“The room of requirement. Don’t worry if you don’t see me at dinner. I’ll have Dobby
bring me something. I’ll meet you back here around sevenish.”
Albus gave him a smile. “Excellent my boy. Take the time you need.” As promised, the
Headmaster created the distraction long enough for the boy who lived to slip away.
Harry quickly made his way to the room of requirement and was pleased to see it gave
him a soothing room in earth tones with a comfortable old chair and cheery fire. He
pulled out the contract and quickly read it. It was as Mr. Malfoy had said and considering
the source, was more than fair. Harry leaned back and thought about it.
He was not sure he wanted to marry someone that he did not love. There was also their
history to consider. True, Malfoy had acted out of need to protect his family and his true
leanings. And while Harry did know he could forgive him, it was still hurtful to him.
Also he had never gotten along with Draco and now Mr. Malfoy was proposing to make
the git his stepson.
Harry decided to set that aside for the moment and consider other sides. Truthfully, the
age factor was not really all that important to him. Harry didn’t really like boys his own
age. None of them had really lived life or experience the things Harry had. They still
walked though life with rose colored lenses. It made them seem very immature to Harry.
Also Harry preferred a more developed body and lets face it, Lucius was the definition of
adult maleness. Harry doubted he would have any problems with Lucius physically. And
besides, wizards usually lived about 250 years so the age gap was not really that big of a
deal.
Harry also thought about the fact that it would be very difficult for him to nab a mate that
would value him for him. While Lucius did admit that he was away of the benefits of
having the boy who lived as a husband, it was touching that Lucius admitted that he
dreamed of a happy family and home. And Harry had to admit is was very romantic that
Lucius was willing to risk his entire advantage just in the hopes of winning Harry fair and
square.
Harry barely noticed when Dobby brought his dinner and he absentmindedly ate it. There
were many unknowns and uncertainties in this marriage proposal. Still, Lucius had his
own name, his own fame. If anyone would see Harry for himself, it was Lucius. They
only question left was Harry willing to met Lucius half way and take the risk as well?
Harry came to his decision and conjured a self inking quill. He went to the end of the
contract and added “Harry James Potter”.

The Choice
Chapter 2
Headmasters Office
Hogwarts
May 29th
After the Evening Meal
As promised, Harry returned to the Head Masters office. Harry winced at screaming that
was the result of the all out argument in the Dumbledore’s office. Actually, argument
would imply back and forth yelling. From what Harry could see, all the yelling was
directed at Lucius.
“YOU ARE DISCUSTING MALFOY!” Screeched Molly Weasley. “HOW COULD
YOU POSSIBLY WANT TO FORCE THAT CHILD TO BED SOMETHING AS VILE
AS YOU.”
Sirius seemed to delight in the abuse being leveled at the Slythern. “That’s because he is
a slimy Death Eater who gets off on molesting little boys. He probably has…”
“THAT IS QUITE ENOUGH!” Yelled Harry, preventing his God father from finishing
that statement.
Albus looked up from where he had been hiding and rubbing his face. He mumbled.
“Thank Merlin.” Sitting fully up, the Headmaster allowed himself a smile. “Harry my
boy, thank you for joining us.”
Harry held back his smirk. “Could not keep them civil for just a few hours?”
Albus just smiled. Molly though fussed over to him. “Oh Harry my poor boy! You don’t
have to do anything you don’t want to.” Molly pulled him into a tight hug. “I don’t blame
you for not wanting anything to do with…”
Harry disentangled himself. “Please Mrs. Weasley. I am perfectly alright and the decision
is mine. Lucius’s offer is perfectly reasonable.”
Most of the Order jumped to their feet screaming variations of “What” along with other
protestations. Harry frowned and held up his hand. “Would you people act your age?
Honestly, I thought you were serious adults. Is this the Order of the Phoenix or the
Quidditch pitch?”
That embarrassed them. Sirius spoke. “Cub, we are only trying to look out for your best
welfare. We are all willing to find another way than to force you into this…”
“I am not.” Harry interrupted him. “We have a golden opportunity to end this once and
for all. We, I can save thousands of lives in a single stroke. I don’t know about the rest of
you but I am very tired of this war. I am sick and tired of being forced to be strong, take
on the mantel of the warrior and defender of the people, which I will point out is very
tiring. I am also sick and tired of watching innocent men, women and children being
murdered to satiate the appetites of an insane wizard. Well, I have been offered a way to
put and end to it and by Merlin I am going to do just that.”
Remus came over. “I understand how you feel cub, but marriage to Lucius?”
Harry ran a hand through his hair. “Remus let me ask you something. Is it not true that
most purebloods have arranged marriages?”
Remus frowned. “Well that is true but your not actually a pureblood. And besides your
father…”
Albus spoke up. “Actually, I arranged their marriage.”
Both Sirius and Remus looked at him in shock. “What?”
Albus smiled. “Neither of you ever wondered why Lily all of a sudden reversed her
opinion on James? If I remember correctly, she positively loathed him.” Albus pulled out
his wand and conjured a full tea service.
Harry sat in a seat in front of the Headmaster, ignoring those present. This was a story he
had not heard before. “What happened sir?”
Albus added a bit of cream before leaning back with his cup. “Well Harry, as I said, Lily
did not care for James in the slightest. James was loud where Lily was quiet. James liked
pranks where Lily preferred to study. James was opinioned against the other houses,
especially Slythern. Lily was willing to accept all others on their merits regardless of
their house. You are a lot like here in many ways.”
Harry smiled at that. “So if my father was so opposite to mum to the point she didn’t
want anything to do with him, how did you talk her into it?”
Albus returned the smile. “Well, I spoke to James parents, your grandparents. The Potters
did not oppose muggle borns but bear in mind they where still purebloods and held to
most pureblood traditions. James was raised with the understanding that his spouse would
be chosen for him. At first, your grandparents were very reluctant to allow their son to
marry a muggle born. However, Lily was very special. She had very high level of magic,
not to mention she had an intrinsic understanding of magic. In short she was very
powerful. James was also very powerful. The problem was that most of the available
purebloods, that is those not already betrothed, where on the Dark Side. I recognized the
advantages of having James and Lily together for all these reasons. It took a lot of
persuasion on my part, but they eventually agreed.”
Sirius frowned. “Ok, I can see how you got agreement from the old Potters and Merlin
knows that James was already infatuated with her. But that does not explain how you got
Lils to agree. She was muggle born and not bound by the old ways. How did you talk her
into it?”
Albus took a sip of his tea. “Ah that. Well, at first she laughed right in my face. So I did
what I do best.”
Harry frowned. “Just what did you do to my parents?”
Albus gave a smile. “The Death Eaters were already targeting Muggle Borns and their
families. Between their Six and Seventh years, I arranged for the Evans family to be
hosted at Potter Manor. The two teens in question were forced into daily contact and well
nature took its course from there.”
Sirius was shocked. “You had the Evans…I mean, ok, Lil’s parents were not that back
but Tuna? Are you kidding me?”
Albus snorted. “Actually Petunia was on her best behavior. She was worried about what
all the wizards and witches would do to her otherwise.”
Harry narrowed his eyes. “There is more to this story that just forcing the two of them
together.”
Albus’s eyes started to twinkle. “Perhaps, but I believe we should leave history for
another time and concentrate on the matter at hand. I believe that you were saying that
most pureblood marriages are arranged?”
Remus spoke before Harry could. “Yes and I was saying that Harry is not actually a
pureblood so…”
Harry interrupted him. “Actually Remy, I am.” He pulled out the documents and quickly
explained what Lucius had told him.”
Sirius whispered. “Lils was a Trent?”
Albus was looking the documents over and looked up. “We will need to discuss these
Harry but the short of it is that you are now the heir of two ancient houses.”
Sirius snorted. “Actually three. He is also my heir.”
Harry blushed. “Well, as interesting as that is, my point is that as a pureblood my
marriage would normally be arranged right?”
Sirius snarled. “That would not happen to you Harry! I am your Godfather and I would
insist that you get to pick your own spouse. After all, I didn’t let my parents chose,
otherwise I would have been attached to Lady Parkinson!”
Severus sneered. “Yes Black and that was one of the reasons you were almost
disinherited.”
Sirius sneered back. “What about you Sniverous? I noticed that your not in a pureblood
marriage.”
Severus folded his arms. “That is because my parents passed away before they could.”
Sirius smirked. “Yes, and Harry also does not have anyone that will force him into a
stupid marriage.”
Harry looked at his lap, that was not really the thing to say to him. Harry would love to
have had parents to argue an arranged marriage with. Noticing this Remus walked over
and pulled the boy into his arms. “Sirius didn’t mean it like that cub. He just meant that
none of us will ever force you to do something you don’t want.”
Harry took a deep breath before sitting back down. “Yeah well my point is that while this
is an arranged marriage of sorts, with Lucius being the one doing the arranging, I am at
least being given the opportunity to say no.” Harry took a deep breath and ran his hand
through his hair. All eyes on the room where on him. “I have given this a lot of thought.
The truth is that the available field from me to choose from is very sparse. Most do not
see me, they just see my stupid scar, my fame or my money. They would only be with me
to be with the boy who lived.”
Arthur put a hand on his sputtering wife. “Harry, I understand how you feel. But what
makes you think that Malfoy is any different. You would be a huge boost to his house
and he would stand to benefit for exactly the same reasons that you just mentioned.”
Harry looked over at the man and smiled. “Yes. However he has his own fame and his
own money. He does not need mine. He also knows what it’s like to be scene as a title,
that of Lord Malfoy, and not to be scene for himself, that of Lucius. Besides, we talked
earlier and most of my concerns have been answered and satisfied.”
Molly frowned. “Harry dear, I think you should be very careful. The Malfoys are masters
at seduction. You can’t really trust him. Please, I beg you to really think about this before
you do something you regret.”
Harry gave her a week smile. “I am being careful. Thank you so much for being
concerned for me it means a lot. If you are not able to be around me if…”
Molly kneeled before the boy. “Harry love, I will always love you and support you no
matter what.”
Everyone else voiced their agreement. Sirius also kneeled before the boy. “I feel the same
cub. I will stick by you no matter what you decide. I just don’t want you to get hurt.
Please really think about this.”
Harry gave both of them a kiss on their cheeks. “Thank you. Sirius I have thought about
it.” He looked up and handed a scroll to the Headmaster. “Sir, this needs another
signature.”
Albus took the scroll and quickly read it. Everyone could see that it was a marriage
contract. Most where holding their breath. Albus looked up at his protégé. Harry nodded.
Albus inked a quill and added his name. The contract glowed and disappeared for the
Ministry archives.
The others let out their breath. It had been decided. Both Molly and Sirius gave Harry a
reassuring hug before standing back up. Sirius looked over at Malfoy. “If you ever hurt
him…”
Lucius ignored the threat and unfolded his legs. He then knelt before his fiancé and
pulled out a velvet box. Opening the box revealed a beautiful platinum ring with runes on
either side of a small emerald. Lucius slid the ring onto Harry’s finger and kissed it. “I
will be ready at nine o’clock love.” With that Lucius, Severus and Draco left the room.
Sirius started sputtering. “What does he mean that he will be ready by nine o’clock?”
Harry took a moment to admire the ring before he looked up and exhaled. “What he
means is that him and I will be going after the horcruxes tonight.”
That resulted in new yelling mostly of which could be summarized by “Now wait just a
damn minute!”
Harry sighed and looked at his watch. It was going to be a very long hour till he met
Lucius.
Meanwhile, Lucius and Draco followed Severus to his quarters. They did not speak until
the door was closed and warded. Draco looked at his father, “Just what are you planning
tonight Father?”
Lucius accepted the glass of brandy from his friend. “Thank you Severus. Harry and I are
going to go collect the horcruxes and bring them back here.”
Before Draco could object, Severus spoke. “Do you think its wise to only go with the boy
Lucius?”
“Harry. His name is Harry.” Lucius insisted. “Yes. The fewer the better. Besides, this will
give both of us an opportunity to learn to trust one another.”
Draco frowned. “Father, this mission is not really a good time for you two to learn to
trust as you say. You could get hurt, you could…”
Lucius sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Please don’t ‘what if’ the situation
Draco. We will be fine. I am a fully trained wizard as well as a very good Death Eater.
Harry is, well Harry Potter. We will both make it back perfectly fine.”
Severus sneered. “Your talents I trust but for you to trust in Potters, oh all right Harry’s,
luck is ludicrous.”
Lucius nodded his understanding. “I understand. Believe me, I would much rather not
risk my fiancé and when this business is finished, I will be damned if he is ever placed in
danger again. However, this must happen. It’s decided, lets move onto something more
important.” Lucius fished out a scroll and handed it to Severus. “That is the potion we
will need to destroy the horcruxes safely. It takes about ten hours to brew.”
Severus looked it over. “I have almost all of these ingredients except for the boar moss. It
will take me about an hour to collect. Lets see, it does not need to be added until the
fourth hour.” Severus handed over the scroll to his Godson. “Draco, get this started and I
will help you when I come back from the forest.” Severus gave a final look to Lucius
then swept out.
Lucius followed his son into the Potion Masters private lab. He watched as Draco lit a
burner and put a cauldron on, carefully measuring water into it. “You have not really told
me your opinion of my choice of Harry for a spouse.”
Draco started slicing up flobber worms. “Well father, it is going to happen so I don’t see
how my opinion really matters.”
Lucius frowned. “You are my son, your opinion very much matters to me.”
Draco nodded, adding the sliced worms to the now boiling cauldron. “You know that the
two of us have never gotten along?”
Lucius handed his son the next ingredient. “Yes. Though it was my understanding that
the both of you had basically made the last two years.”
“Making peace and being on good terms are two different things Father.” Draco signed.
“Our animosity goes back to first year when he rejected my hand of friendship. Of course
I was a real prat, acting the part of the proper son of a Death Eater. Do you mind grinding
the dragon’s tooth? Thank you father. I guess in some ways it would have been
impossible to be his friend and protect you at the same time.”
Lucius almost had the tooth in a fine powder. “Protect me?”
“Yes Father. It would not have been safe for you son to be associating with the enemy.”
Draco took the powder from him and pinched it into the bubbling potion in a swirl
pattern. “Still it hurt when we went at each other. We will have a lot of work to overcome
our history but I am willing if he is. As for you and him Father? Honestly I think it might
be a good match.”
The potion needed to just boil and be left alone for the next half hour so Draco looked up.
“I have studied him and have learned much over the years. One of the things about Harry
is that he is very loyal. If he has freely committed himself to you then I can guarantee he
will be faithful to you. He will also actively strive to make your relationship work. I
know he wants family above all else. I am not sure if he will ever fall in love with you
but if he does, it will be with his full being and with great passion.”
Lucius nodded. “What do you think I can do to make it easier on him.”
Draco checked on the flame then looked back at his father. “Be honest with him father.
Harry does not like to be lied to. Include him in decisions and share your day with him.
Harry is one of those people that wants to be included. I think as long as you do this and
explain your thoughts, he will more then likely follow your lead.” Draco smirked. “I
don’t think anyone else has picked up on this but I believe you are correct when you say
he is a submissive.”
Lucius finished his brandy. “What makes you say that?”
“Harry Potter is a virgin and I don’t think its by choice.” Draco summoned the brandy
bottle to give his father another glass. “Everyone, both male and female, that have tried to
date Harry have failed due to two simple reasons. First is that they expect him to lead and
he does not want to. Second is that he sees them as immature.”
Lucius took a sip. “You mentioned that before. Thank you for your insights. Ah Severus,
your back.”
Severus put down his satchel. “I ran into Potter.” He ignored Lucius’s glare. “He is on his
way to Gryffindor to fetch a cloak. I believe you should go get him. If I know Granger
and Weasley, they are not going to let him leave until he explains everything and there is
simply not enough time.”
Lucius nodded. “I will see you two in the morning. And yes I will be safe.”
Harry walked into the Common Room and sure enough was bombarded by the other two
members of the Golden Trio.
“Harry, where have you been!” Demanded Hermione.
“Yeah mate, don’t tell me you have been with Dumbledore all this time.”
Harry rolled his eyes as Hermione badgered Ron on his improper address of the
Headmaster. “I promise I will explain everything when I can. I just came up here to fetch
a cloak.”
“Why where are you going?” Demanded Hermione as they followed him up to the
seventh year dorm.
“I can’t really say, since I don’t really know.” Harry went into his trunk and retrieved his
cloak. “And before you ask, I can not tell you what it is about yet.”
Hermione grabbed his arm and spun him around. “Don’t you say that to me Harry James
Potter! You better tell me what is going on and you are not leaving this room until you
do.”
“I am afraid that is not possible Ms. Granger.” She turned to see Lucius Malfoy and her
head of house, whom was looking at Malfoy with distaste. “Harry, the night is not getting
any younger. We should go.”
Ron hissed. “What the bloody hell…”
“RON!”
“…is he doing here? And why in Merlin’s name would you go anywhere with him? And
since when does he call you Harry.” Ron had already turned several shades of red and
was glaring at the elder Malfoy.
Harry sighed. “I really don’t have time to explain it. But I promise, I will when I can.”
Harry started walking towards Lucius.
Hermione tried to stop him only to be stopped herself by McGonagall. “Mrs. Granger,
Mr. Potter really needs to be on his way. The Headmaster is aware of what is taking place
and asks for your patience.” She knew what would satisfy her student for the moment.
Ron was another matter and started arguing with her.
Harry took the distraction as an opportunity to slip away with Lucius. As the where
walking out of the Castle he sighed. Hearing his fiancé, Lucius looked down at him and
asked, “Are you alright Harry?”
Harry looked up. “Yeah. Its just, they are going to be difficult later. And they are not
really going to understand me deciding to be with you.”
Lucius started guiding him beyond the wards. “Do they not trust your judgment? I was
always under the impression that those two always follow your lead.”
Harry snorted. “Are you kidding? They question every single thing I do. Yeah they
always back me up when I get caught up in things but that does not stop them from
wanting to know everything that I am into.”
Lucius smirked. “That would annoy me.”
Harry shook his head. “I do find it annoying. I don’t want to think about it right now, can
we talk about something else?”
Lucius gave a nod. “As you wish. The first one that we are going to retrieve is Slytherns
Locket. It is in a small lake in a cave.”
Harry frowned. “Um, Lucius? We are not exactly in a private place. Anyone can hear
us.”
Lucius smirked. “Or not. I caste a silencing charm on us, so what ever we say is private.
Now, I am going to apparate us to the location. Hold tight.” He rapped his arms around
his fiancé and took them to the cave by the ocean. “Ah, this way.”
Harry followed him into the cave but then stopped. “I don’t feel well.”
Lucius put his hand on his shoulder. “It’s the Inferni. They infect the lake. Wait here. I
have the dark mark and will be able to summon it safely.” Lucius walked to the edge of
the lake and bared his arm. Holding his wand, he mumbled a spell and flicked his wand.
The locket rose out of a bowl from the small isle in the middle of the lake and flew over
to Lucius. Lucius started back towards Harry, levitating the locket along the way.
“Harry, I have a shrunken bag in the inside pocket of my cloak. Would you mind pulling
it out and enlarging it?”
Harry blushed but reached in as directed and pulled out the bag. Pulling his wand, he
muttered the necessary spell and enlarged it as requested. Harry then picked it up and
held it open. Lucius levitated it to the bottom of the bag. Harry looked at it before closing
the bag. “Why did you do it that way?”
“Two reasons. First, there is a dark curse on it. Second, I don’t want the Dark Lord to
become aware that we have it. Come Love. It is time we leave this place.” Lucius lead
him out of the cave.
Harry transferred the bag to his left hand and hurried to keep up. “Lucius could I ask a
question?”
Lucius smiled at him. “You are my fiancé, soon to be my husband. You may ask me
anything you like.”
Harry nodded. “You have called me Love a couple of times now.”
Lucius looked at him. “Does it bother you?”
Harry shook his head. “No, not at all. I am just wondering why.”
“I have never called anyone Love before. Terms of endearment are expected between
spouses. Narcissa used to insist upon it in public. So I chose the term Darling or simply
wife. I never gave her that term since I knew it was impossible to ever love her.” Lucius
reached over and claimed Harry’s free hand. “You on the other hand are another matter. I
can see a point that we are in love with one another, so I choose to give you that name.”
Harry looked at him as he was pulled to the wizard for their next apparation. When they
reappeared, he stepped back but Lucius kelp his hand. “But I am not in love with you and
I doubt you are in love with me.”
Lucius gave an understanding smile. “Of course. It is too soon for such feelings. But I
would like to try if you are not opposed.”
Harry returned the smile. “I am not opposed. I have already agreed to marry you. I see no
reason why I should not give it a chance.” Harry looked around. “Where are we?”
“Romania. There is a dilapidated Monastery up ahead. Long since abandoned. The Dark
Lord spend a few years after his Hogwarts days there. I also believe that this is where is
spirit resided after you banished him your first time. It is hear that we will find the next
horcrux, Slytherns dagger.”
Harry followed the elder wizard. “Another Slythern artifact. Are all the Horcruxes
artifacts of Slytherns?”
Lucius opened the Monastery’s door and replied. “Not all. Remember, one of them was
that Diary, which has of course been destroyed. Three of Slythern’s things where used,
the locket, the dagger and a focal stone.”
Harry asked. “Focal stone?”
Lucius stopped the boy from stepping further into the Monastery. “Similar to a wand but
more powerful. Lets concentrate on the dagger for the moment. He has some rather nasty
black magic protecting it. Its going to take me a few minutes to get through them.”
Harry watched as Lucius once again bared his arm to show the dark mark and then he
started chanting. After several minutes he reached over for the bag. Harry handed it to
him and watched as Lucius held it open and then the dagger flew out of a corner and right
into the bag. Lucius promptly closed it. “Lets get out of here. This magic makes even me
feel ill.”
Harry readily nodded his agreement and they left to apparate to the next location. Harry
pulled himself out of Lucius’s arms and looked around. “This looks like a muggle city
and not necessary a good part.”
Lucius nodded. “Yes. We are in muggle London, at the Orphanage that the Dark Lord
grew up in. Its abandoned now so he hid the focal stone I was telling you about. I want
you to wait here. He murdered the children that used to live here and forced their ghosts
to guard the stone. Only one of the dark mark is able to enter unharmed.”
Harry gulped and nodded his agreement. He watched as Lucius walked in. It was about
twenty minutes later that he came back out ashen faced. Harry reached out for him
worriedly. “Are you all right?”
Lucius accepted the hand and squeezed it. “Yes Love. I will be fine.” He turned back at
the orphanage. “I hope I never come across such a place again.” He refused to say
anymore on the subject but just pulled Harry close. “Well, you will need to hold on tight.
I am going to use an international port key to get us to our next location and it won’t be
fun.”
After arriving, Harry gasped to bring his nausea under control. “All right, that was not
fun.”
Lucius nodded. “Yes, the international portkeys take a lot to get used to. Its why I prefer
to floo if I am going to another continent.”
Harry looked at him. “But you apparated us to Romania.”
Lucius nodded. “That is because Romania is still part of Europe, but its about as far as a
wizard is capable of going. We are in America at the moment, thus the portkey.”
Harry looked around. “Where in America are we.”
Lucius started walking. “This is an abandoned town in the state of Texas. Americans
refer to them as Ghost Towns. This one though has a bit of History. Seems that a muggle
named Santa Ana, from Mexico I believe, executed all the inhabitants for standing
against him. The Dark Lord decided to hide a Horcrux in the towns well.”
Harry frowned in thought. “But why would he do that? If I recall my history, Santa Ana
was a muggle. I thought Voldermort Despised muggles.”
Lucius stopped before the well in question. “He does but the evil performed here was just
too appealing to him.” Lucius caste a few spells and frowned. “Great. More Inferni in the
well.” It took Lucius ten full minutes to levitate the Horcrux out of the well and into the
bag. It looked like a crown to Harry.
Seeing the question, Lucius answered. “Its Ravenclaws Diadem. I know he found
Slytherns items in the Chamber of Secrets but I have no idea how he put his hands on
Ravenclaws property.”
Harry did a quick count. “That leaves us with two more Horcruxes.”
Lucius nodded. “Yes and they are both in the same location. But this is going to be the
most dangerous. One is the family ring for the Gaunt family, his mothers pureblood
family. The other is his familiar Nagini. He has the snake guarding the ring in the old
Gaunt house.”
Harry gulped. “So we have to deal with her first.”
Lucius nodded. “I have a spell that will knock her out long enough for our purposes. But
then we will have to move fast. The Dark Lord will be aware of when Nagini is stunned
and will no doubt come to that house as quickly as he can. Fortunately, I know that the
Dark Lord will be behind Vampire Wards in Russia when we get there. He is trying to get
them on his side. It’s the reason I chose tonight.” Lucius looked at his watch. “According
to my information, his meeting with the Vampire Lord will start in about a half hour.
That is when it will be most opportune to strike. Lets walk a bit before we port key back.”
Harry nodded. “Um, this might not really be the time and place to ask this but um, I have
been wondering something.”
Lucius raised his eyebrow in question noticing the blush in the moonlight. “I take it this
is a sexual question?”
Ok if he was not blushing before, he was now. “This is not the time. Forget I said
anything.”
Lucius chuckled. “Actually we are in the middle of a bit of excitement and drama.
Believe me when I say its perfectly normal to think about sex at such times. I would be
concerned if you had not been thinking along those lines. You are after all a perfectly
healthy teenage boy. Would it help you if I admit that I also have had similar thoughts
this evening.”
Harry turned away to hid his deeping blush. “Your actually thinking…”
Lucius gave a full laugh. “Harry, I am walking along side a very attractive and delectable
young man. I have been thinking of you bent over so many surfaces, that its not funny.”
Harry mumbled. “Oh, Dear Merlin.”
Lucius smirked. “Go ahead and ask your question.”
Harry took a deep breath. “Well you see, I have never been with anyone. I have wanted
to. That is I want to know what it feels like but those that have offered at school hold no
interest for me. I want it but I am kind of scared of it. I am not making any sense.”
“You are making perfect sense.” Lucius took up his hand. “I told you earlier that you are
a submissive. To be a bit vulgar, that means you crave a stiff cock up your arse. Perfectly
normal. However, you have also probably heard that it hurts. So while you have the
craving, you are scared of it. It is true that penetration the first time can be painful until
you get used to it. The trick is proper attention to detail and preparation. I promise love
that I am experienced in these matters and will make sure your first time is pleasurable. It
will hurt at first but then it will fill very good, I promise.”
Harry nodded and then asked. “Um, are you, you know, big?”
Lucius chuckled. “I have a bit more than the average wizard. Don’t worry love, you will
come to like it sooner than you think. I know that you are a virgin but may I ask if you
have tried penetrating yourself before?”
Harry stuck his hands in his pockets and blushed. “I tried a couple of fingers a few
times.”
“And did it hurt?”
Harry looked down. “Well the first time hurt a bit and was very uncomfortable. I learned
though that if I use something to lubricate my fingers and gently work them in, then its
only uncomfortable for a few moments.”
Lucius smirked. “Precisely. Proper preparation is the key.”
Harry looked up at the wizard. “I assume that you will want sex on our wedding night?”
Lucius nodded. “It is expected to consummate our marriage, yes. Besides I am looking
forward to it. I hope you would as well.”
Harry nodded. “I may not be in love with you but I do think your hot. Of all that have
approached me thus far, you are the only I would want to have sex with.” Harry blushed.
“That did not come out very well.”
Lucius pulled Harry to him. “That’s alright Love. I know what your trying to say. Well,
as enjoyable as this conversation has been, its time for us to portkey to the final
destination. Hold tight.”
Harry kelp his eyes closed while his stomach settled. It was not as bad as last time but
still was not good either. Lucius let him go and pulled his wand. “Ok, here is the plan.
Nagini no doubt already smells us and is on her way. I will stun her and then rush into the
house to grab the ring. Have the bag ready. We will need to leave immediately.”
Harry looked around. In the distance he could just make out a dark Manor. “Is that…”
Lucius nodded. “Riddle Manor. The Dark Lord is not there, however I have no doubt that
there is at least five Death Eaters there. We will need to be careful.”
Harry nodded. “How are we going to transport Nagini. She is a bit too large for the bag.”
Lucius nodded. “I am going to shrink her.”
Harry twisted his head and spoke. “I thought you could not do that with living beings.”
Lucius smirked. “Normal transfiguration says you can not. However there is a very
advanced spell that will allow you to do so. It is a bit dangerous to the subject, which is
why it is not taught unless you enter your Masters for Transfiguration.”
Harry looked at him impressed. “You are a Transfiguration Master?”
Lucius smirked. “Along with DADA and the Dark Arts. Her she comes.” Harry almost
missed it. Nagini had struck forth, her fangs extended and got hit with a purple light no
more that three feet from Lucius’s face. “Ok that was close.” Lucius mumbled another
spell and as promised, shrunk the great snake and levitated her into the bag.
Harry held it open as Lucius rushed into the dilapidated house. He started to bite his
lower lip nervously while he waited. Sooner that he would have thought, a ring flew
towards the bag, followed by Lucius. Harry snapped the bag close as soon as the ring was
in it.
Lucius pulled Harry to him and snapped. “Lets go.” Harry could hear the cracks of
apparation as Lucius and him disappeared for Hogwarts. Lucius breathed. “Well, that was
amusing.”
Harry gave a strange look to the elder wizard as they made their way up towards the
Castle. “You have a strange definition of amusement.”
Lucius smirked. “Indeed.”
Albus was waiting for them. “All went well?”
Lucius nodded, not stopping but continuing to the dungeons, thus forcing the Headmaster
to follow the insipid duo. “Very well. Assuming Severus and my son are on schedule. We
can have these horcruxes destroyed this morning. I will send the note as we agreed and
then tomorrow we will put an end to the Dark Lord once and forever.”
They reached the Potions Masters quarters. Lucius spoke the password and allowed
themselves in. Severus looked up from the couch. “Welcome back. The potion is doing
well. I will add the moss in about an hour. Is that them?” He asked looking pointedly at
the bag Harry was carrying.
Lucius nodded. “Indeed. Well then, if you don’t mind Dumbledore, Harry and I should
get some rest. Lets meet again at say nine am?”
Albus nodded. “Of course. I should get some rest myself, as should you Severus.”
The Potions Master scowled at the departing Headmaster. He turned to the two. “Take
my bedroom Lucius. Draco is using the spare bedroom at the moment.”
Harry spoke up. “I can go back to the tower. You don’t need to give up your bed for me.”
Lucius chuckled. “I prefer that you spend the night with me little one.”
Harry blushed. “But what about Professor Snape? He needs to sleep too.”
Severus smirked. “Do not worry about me brat. I am used to brewing all night potions
and have trained my self to nap in between. Now off with the two of you.”
Lucius put his hand on the small of Harry’s back and guided him into the indicated
bedroom as Harry mumbled about the insanity of actually sleeping in the Bat’s bed.
Lucius closed the door and waved his wand over both their clothes, transfiguring them
into silk pajamas.
Harry blushed deeply. “Um, I have never um slept in the same bed with someone before.”
Lucius chuckled as he pulled the comforter and sheets back. “Don’t worry Love, I will be
on my best behavior. We will not copulate until our wedding night.”
Harry’s brows went up. “Copulate? You make it sound so clinical.”
Lucius laughed as he climbed into the left side of the bed. Harry shook his head and
walked to the right side. He removed his glasses and set them on the table. He was going
to stay on his side, but Lucius pulled him over onto his chest. “Oh I think we can be safe
with you being in my arms.”
Harry blushed. Lucius leaned up and seized those tempting lips. Harry closed his eyes
and gasped. Lucius took the opportunity to sneak his tongue past his lips and explore the
wonderful tastes in that mouth. Lucius feel back down to the pillow and Harry laid his
head down on Lucius’s chest. “Wow.”
Lucius smirked. “Wow indeed.” Lucius rapped his arm protectively around Harry and
waved his other hand. “Nox. Goodnight Love.”
Harry closed his eyes. “Good night Lucius.” Harry listened to the sound of Lucius’s
breathing unable to fall asleep. He found it a bit weird to be sharing a bed with Lucius, let
alone cuddled up to the man. Just yesterday, Harry had not even considered to possibility
of having anything to do with Lucius and here he was now the mans fiancé. Harry
exhaled, figuring that he should learn to get used to the man holding him and kissing him.
Soon they would be getting a lot more intimate than that.
After about a half hour, Harry finally succumbed to sleep. Harry next woke up on his side
with Lucius spooning him. Harry could feel something poking at his bum and then
blushed when he realized it was Lucius’s cock. Harry blushed and wiggled in an attempt
to move away. However, it only served to grind his arse right into Lucius, lodging his
hard cock between Harry’s silk covered cheeks.
“I would stop that if you don’t want matters to go any further.” Rumbled Lucius.
Harry froze and turned his head. “Sorry Lucius I didn’t mean to wake you.”
Lucius chuckled. “It is I who should apologize. Well as you can see, my anatomy likes
you very well.” Lucius kissed his neck then rolled onto his back.
Harry blushed even deeper. “Well if what I felt was any indication, I think I am going to
be in a great deal of pain.”
Lucius cracked open an eye. “Is that your way of saying I’m big.” Before Harry could
answer, there was a knock at the door. Lucius grumbled some more. “We will be out in a
minute.” He turned to Harry. “Well no rest for the wicked. Why don’t you take a shower
while I deal with what ever the pests on the other side want. I will have an elf bring you a
fresh pair of clothes.”
Harry sat up and watched Lucius get up. He blushed again at his fiancé’s obvious arousal.
“Um Lucius, are you really going to go out there like that?”
Lucius muttered a spell and went limp. “Something every Slythern knows.”
Harry thought, ‘that ought to be taught to every wizard in all the houses.’
Lucius found his son and Severus waiting for him. Severus was smirking like made. “I do
hope you enjoyed yourself.”
Lucius examined his nails. “Don’t be absurd. We merely slept. The rest will wait until we
are wed, not that its any of your concern.”
Severus just kelp smirking. Draco had his hands over his ears. “Ok, no more talking
along those lines. I really don’t want to hear anything about my father being on the job.”
Lucius chuckled. “So where are we at?”
Severus handed the wizard a steaming cup of coffee. “The potion is ready. Dumbledore
will be down here in an hour. I assume your mate is still sleeping?”
Lucius sipped at the wonderful elixir of life. “He is using your shower. And don’t
complain about it either.”
Severus had a brow go up. “Did I say anything.”
Lucius just gave him a look. “Well I have prepared written documents along with pensive
evidence on everything I know about the Dark Lord and the Death Eaters. I will give
them to Dumbledore as soon as we destroy the Horcruxes.”
Draco called an elf and placed an order for breakfast. “Have you thought about what you
are going to say in the letter to the Dark Lord?”
Lucius nodded and summoned a prepared parchment handing it to his son. Draco raised
his brows and handed it to Severus. Severus quickly read it. “Oh my. Well this will
certainly guarantee he will come frothing at the mouth. Are you sure about the
battleground?”
Lucius shrugged. “Narcissa is the one who liked that ugly cottage in Wales. The only
thing I can really say about it is that it has an open field all around it, perfect for killing
Death Eaters.”
Severus nodded as Harry came out dressed. He smirked seeing the light blush on the boys
face. “Something bothering you Mr. Potter.”
Harry did not say anything but went over to Lucius and whispered. “I know damn well
that I don’t own a single item that you left for me. Care to tell me what possessed you in
picking these things that pretend to be underwear?”
Lucius smirked and whispered back. “They are called a thong. And I like the idea of you
wearing them.”
Harry blushed. “They feel weird and are making me…” He could not finish.
Lucius smirked even further. “If I am going to be hot and bothered, so should you.”
Draco heard that and recovered his ears. “Don’t want to hear that!”
Harry looked up and blushed, realizing that his arch nemesis realized what was
happening. He looked up at the ceiling. “Oh, Merlin.”
Both Malfoys just snickered. Severus continued to smirk. Harry shook his head. “Well if
you can embarrass me, then I get to return the favor. Go take a shower Lucius or I am not
giving you any kisses.”
“Are you saying I smell?” Demanded the elder wizard. “I will have you know that
Malfoy’s do not smell!”
“Really. Well I will have you know that Potters do not kiss Malfoys unless they shower.”
Harry smirked at him.
Draco chuckled. “Father, I think you are going to have a lively marriage.”
“Indeed.” Lucius sneered but non the less did as his spouse demanded and went back into
the bedroom.
Draco turned to Harry. “You should consider yourself lucky. Not many get to insult the
Malfoy Lord and live to tell the tale.”
“Quiet you.” Harry mumbled as a house elf popped in. “Oh good! Blue berry pancakes.”
Harry hurried over to the table that the meal was being set up at. Both Slytherns watched
as Harry loaded up two plates. When finished, he pulled his wand and caste a warming
charm on one of the plates and then dug into the other.
It was a few minutes until Harry noticed that he was being watched. He looked up.
“What?”
Draco turned to his godfather. “I think my Father lucked out. Not even a day and already
his fiancé is performing domestic duties for him.”
Severus smirked. “Indeed.”
Harry huffed out. “I am just making sure Lucius gets something to eat. Knowing you two,
you would let him starve.”
Draco turned a smirk on the other boy but held back his comment. Lucius came out a few
moments later. “Thank you Love. This was most considerate of you.”
The other two Slytherns started snickering. Harry huffed and just started eating again.
After breakfast, Albus put in an appearance. Lucius gave him the documents and
evidence and then all the wizards went into Severus’s lab.
Harry watched as the bag was opened and then the first item, the ring, was levitated out
and dropped in the cauldron. A hiss, some smoke and then a purple flash and then the
potion went still. Harry looked over to the Potion Master. “Is that it?”
Severus looked up and sneered. “Looking for something a bit more dramatic? The purple
flash is the soul fragment of the Horcrux being destroyed.”
Harry looked over to Albus as Lucius levitated the next one. “I would think, given what it
is, it would be a bit more complicated.”
Albus watched the stone lowered in and the potion gave the same reactions. “Harry
remember when you destroyed the diary? All it took was Basilisk venom from that fang.
It was a bit slower because the venom was not as potent as this potion.”
Harry watched as the locket went into the potion. “I see.” After the purple flash, Harry
asked. “What will happen to the objects once the Horcruxes are gone?”
Lucius carefully levitated the locket out and into the potion. “Unfortunately, the artifacts
themselves are also being destroyed. They are dissolving as we speak into the potion.”
Harry looked over to Severus. “I know I am not that good at potions, but would that not
alter it?”
Severus smirked. “Very good brat. Normally you would be correct. This particular potion
can be made seven different ways given the number of horcruxes involved. It will be
good up to the final one. After which it will be worthless.”
Harry nodded and watched as Ravenclaws beautiful Diadem lowered into the potion.
“What a shame. Some of those belonged in a museum.”
Albus nodded. Severus, Lucius and Draco spoke as one. “Indeed.” Harry watched as
Nagini was levitated out. He gulped and then hissed in parsel tongue. “Isss am sssorry
noble oneee..”
Lucius looked over to him and though could not understand the words, knew the
sentiment. “I know you don’t like this Harry but this snake is responsible for the deaths
of many. It is necessary.” Nagini was lowered into the potion. Hiss, a wisp of smoke and
a purple flash. Nagini, last of Voldermort’s horcruxes was gone.
Albus spoke. “It is done. Tom is mortal once again.”
Lucius called his owl and attached the note. “Deliver this to the dark Lord no sooner than
the first light of tomorrow.” His owl flew out of the Dungeons. “Is all prepared as we
agreed?”
Albus nodded. “The Order and the Ministry are already arriving at that cottage of yours.
All that is left is for Harry to learn the necessary spell.”
Harry looked up. “Sir?”
Albus looked at the boy. “Tom used your blood to resurrect himself. However, what he
does not know is that the Potters are of the Royal line as is the Malfoys.”
Lucius looked over to Harry. “There are four families that can lay claim to the wizarding
thrown. The Malfoys are the only publicly known as such. The others have been hidden
over time.” He looked over to the headmaster. “How did you find this out?”
Albus folded his hands and his eyes started to sparkle. “I was given a letter upon the
death of Lily and James. In that letter it told me that James had visited a seer a few weeks
before it was written. The seer bade him to inform me and to instruct me that the
information was for the future, that I would know when the moment was right.”
Harry looked confused. “I don’t understand. Ok so, the Malfoys and the Potters are of the
Royal line. Big deal. I don’t want a crown, and the Malfoys have not yet tried for it, so
what does it matter.”
Lucius chuckled. “You are correct Harry, the Malfoy’s don’t want the crown. We prefer
to be the power behind the authority. What the headmaster is talking too long to explain
is that the heads of the royal lines have absolute authority over their families blood. That
is that even though you will not be Lord Potter for two more days, as the heir, you can
condemn the blood flooing in Dark Lords veins. This blood, or more specifically your
DNA, will abandon him. And without your blood, the Dark Lord can not survive.”
Albus nodded. “Precisely. This is the power the Dark Lord knows not. So let me teach
you the spell.” It took about a half hour until the Headmaster was satisfied that Harry
could use it successfully. “Excellent. Well gentlemen, I will leave you to enjoy the rest of
your day.”
Lucius waited until the headmaster left. “Harry, I have some correspondence to deal with.
I will be busy for a about two hours.”
Harry nodded. “Yeah, I should talk with Ron and Hermione before they disown me as a
friend.” He turned to the scowling Potions Master. “Don’t worry Professor. They will
both keep my secrets.”
Lucius turned to his son. “Draco see him safely to the tower.” He turned to Harry.
“Please don’t argue Love. It will set my mind at ease.”
Harry nodded and got up. He hesitated for a moment, then went over to Lucius and kissed
his cheek before walking out with Draco.
The two boys walked in silence before Draco interrupted it. “Say Potter. I know that we
have not been on very good terms but seeing as we are going to be family, I was
wondering if perhaps we could try again.” The blond ran his hand through his hair. “I
know I was a git when we first met and a lot of the fighting was my fault. Well, I’d like
to say, sorry.”
Harry looked over at the embarrassed blond. He reminded himself that he was supposed
to make an effort to make his and Lucius’s relationship work and Lucius came with his
blond git of a son. “Well, I gave as good as you. I also realize that a lot of it was because
of the position your father was in. Well, if I can cut him a break, I can do the same for
you. Fresh start?” Harry held out his hand.
Draco looked at it for a moment before seizing it and giving it a shake. “Draco Lucius
Malfoy, please to meet you.”
Harry smirked. “Harry James Potter, same.”
They reached the tower. Draco looked up at the painting of the fat lady. “Well, I have to
go warn some of my friends to ignore summons from their families.”
Harry looked over to him. “Oh?”
Draco nodded. “Yeah. You might be surprised but most of my friends have no more
intentions than I in joining the Dark Lord. I can’t tell them everything but they are
Slytherns. They can read between the lines and will do as I say.” He looked over at the
raven haired boy. “I will come back for you in a couple of hours.”
Harry watched the blond go back the way they came. Harry turned and took a calming
breath. Time to face the Lions. Looking that the fat lady, Harry spoke the password,
“Justice of the Pride.”

The Choice
Chapter 3
Gryffindor Tower
Hogwarts
May 30th
Harry had not taken more than two steps into the common room before, “HARRY
JAMES POTTER! YOU BRING YOUR ARSE OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!”
Harry looked over at the angered witch tapping her foot. He took a breath and walked
over, noticing that Ron was glaring at him as well. Taking a seat, he pulled his wand and
cast a privacy bubble around the three of them. “Before we start, I want your word that
nothing that I say will be repeated by either of you.”
Ron blinked and Hermione scowled. “Harry you have the nerve to question our loyalty
when you are the one…”
Harry crossed his arms. “I am not saying a word unless you give yours.” He narrowed his
eyes, leaned back into the chair and clamped his lips closed.
Hermione tried to out glare him for all of two minutes before giving it. She nudged Ron
who blew out his air and also raised his wand. Their oaths were given. “And now my
sweet Harry” began Hermione with deceptive calm, “kindly tell us what is going on or so
help me Merlin I am going to hex your bullocks off.”
“MOINE!” Ron’s eyes went wide. She never used such language. She ignored him and
just kelp looking at Harry expectantly.
Harry looked up at the ceiling to gather his thoughts. “As you know, yesterday morning I
was called to Professor Dumbledore’s office. Present was Sirius, Remus, Professor’s
McGonagall, Sinestra, and Snape. Also present was Draco Malfoy. We were then
joined…”
Ron interrupted. “What the bloody hell was that ferret doing there?”
Harry scowled. “Do you want me to tell it or do you want to get indignant over every
little item?”
Ron got red faced but was elbowed by his girlfriend. “Ron, let him talk. Go ahead
Harry.”
Harry leaned back into the chair. “As I was saying, we where joined by Lord Lucius
Malfoy. Yes Ron, your families enemy was there, now let me continue. All of us, Mr.
Malfoy included, swore on our magic to not take action against any present. Mr. Malfoy
then swore an oath of truth on his magic. He then basically told us his version of the rise
of Voldermort and his involvement. It seems that Mr. Malfoys father was one of Voldie’s
original followers. Initially Lucius Malfoy wanted nothing to do with the him and was
planning to flee.”
Harry looked over annoyed at the Creevy brothers trying to break the silencing charm.
Harry pulled his wand and muttered a stinging hex to encourage them to go away.
Hermione narrowed her eyes and shifted her chair, so that she could see Harry and the
rest of the common room at the same time. She pulled her wand and placed it on her lap.
“Don’t worry, I will take care of the curious. So, why did Mr. Malfoy not flee?”
Ron interrupted. “Don’t tell me you actually believe that?” He turned his incredible look
towards Harry. “Mate please tell me you didn’t buy into his crap.”
Harry turned to his best friend. “I saw him swear on his magic Ron. To answer your
question Hermione, Lucius’s father was hit with a curse and was dying. It would seem
that all of his prayers had been answered. Unfortunately, Abraxis, that’s his fathers name,
somehow found out his sons plans. He told Lucius that he was to marry Narcissa Black,
evidently Lucius despised her. He also told Lucius that he would join the Death Eaters or
else. Then he gave the Malfoy ring to Narcissa.”
Ron’s air exploded out. “BLOODY HELL!”
Hermione looked from Ron to Harry and then back to Ron. “I don’t understand. If his
father was dying, why not tell him what he wanted to hear and then…”
Ron interrupted her. “Moine, the Malfoys are an Ancient House. All of those houses
made what are referred to as Rings of Lordship. They infused them with the ultimate
magical authority of their house. With the ring, Narcissa Black could literally wipe out
every single Malfoy, all of them.”
Hermione’s eyes went up and she swallowed. “I have never heard of that.” All ready she
was thinking of which books to look up. “How did you know about this Ron.”
Ron shrugged. “Both the Weasleys and Mom’s family are considered Ancient Houses.
Not all the Ancient Houses are rich like the Malfoy’s but we all have the rings.” He
turned to Harry. “Mate if she had that and was prepared to use it…”
Harry nodded. “Precisely. He could not risk it. So he did what he was told, married
Narcissa and became a good little Death Eater. But it gets worse. Remember the Diary?”
Ron scowled and bit out, “Yes I remember the bloody Diary.”
Harry continued. “Well the reason that the Diary had a piece of Voldermort in it was
because it was a horcrux. I will explain what those are in a minute. Voldie used the Diary
for more than one purpose. He used a dark curse to tie Lucius’s obedience to the Diary,
forcing him to use everything he had for the benefit of Snake Face. As long as the Diary
existed, Lucius had no free will and was forced to be the very best Death Eater. When I
destroyed the Diary, it freed his mind and ability to act.”
Hermione had just zapped another third year. “I wish they would quit being pests. So, he
did not willingly give Ginny that vile book?”
Harry shook his head. “No. If anything he wanted it destroyed. As long as it existed it
controlled him.”
Ron was studying his hands in great detail. “Harry, I don’t know if I can accept that
Malfoy is not responsible for what happened to my sister. I know you say he swore on his
magic but its hard to accept.”
Harry nodded. “I understand Ron. It’s a bunch to take in. But that does not mean that
someone was not responsible for what happened to Ginny, and that person is Voldie.
Anyway, I then asked him about the Ministry incident. He told me that he was impressed
with all of us.” Harry gave a laugh. “He actually seemed pleased with our performance.”
Ron looked up shocked. Hermione raised a brow. “Did he explain why he was fighting
us? After all, if he was free since you destroyed the Diary…”
Harry smiled at her. “Remember, his bitch of a wife still had his ring, so he still had to act
like the faithful Death Eater. Evidently he played a very delicate game. While he was
chasing us around, he was quietly hexing the aim of his fellow Death Eaters. It explains
why we escaped relatively unscathed.”
Ron was now back to angry muttering and denying it. Hermione on the other hand was
referring back to her near photographic memory. “You know Harry, now that I think back
on it, you are right. None of us were touched with any of the unforgivable and plenty of
them were fired. In fact, he cast a TRIPPING HEX AT ME.” Her eyes went wide in
sudden realization. “It got me out of the way of a death curse.”
Ron looked at her. “Mione, are you sure?”
She turned to him. “Yeah Ron, I am sure. Wow, Lucius Malfoy helped defend us in the
Ministry and we never caught on.”
Harry smirked. “I think that was the idea. Anyway, we thanked him for his story and
Dumbledore asked why he was there and what had changed. It was then that he held up
the Malfoy Ring and explained that Narcissa is no longer a Malfoy and is now a blood
traitor.”
Ron whistled. “You know, under the old laws he can kill her in a duel and the Ministry
can do nothing about it.” Ron scratched his head for a moment, putting aside his
animosity for all things Malfoy and applying that part of him that was a genius at
strategy. “So, to summarize, Malfoy was forced into the Death Eaters with the threat of
destruction of the Malfoy family. You Know Who enslaved his will to the Diary and only
your destruction of it freed him to go hunting for the ring. He has now recovered it and
kicked Narcissa to the side.” Ron looked up. “This could only mean that he now plans to
side with the Light. However, he is still a Malfoy. What is his price and can we afford it.”
Harry was amazed by his friend. He had not given any hint at a deal and already Ron had
it figured it out. “Your right and here is where it gets interesting. Remember me telling
you that the Diary was a horcrux?”
Hermione had her finger against her lip and was staring between Harry’s shoes. She
mumbled “I know that I have heard that word somewhere before….”
Harry saved her the trouble. “It is an item or artifact used to house the fragment of a
wizards soul. Evidently the wizard uses a spell upon murder of an innocent to tear their
soul and place the piece into the object. As long as this horcrux exists, then the wizard is
tied to this plain of existence and can be brought back if they are killed.”
Hermione looked up sharply. “So that’s how he did it! But tearing your soul? That sounds
horrible.”
Harry nodded. “And according to Professor Dumbledore, extremely dangerous. He told
me that the maximum number of times that a wizard could do this is seven, with the last
eighth bit residing in the wizard. Lucius confirmed that Voldermort had created the
maximum seven, including the diary. He told us that he knew where all of them where,
what they were and how to destroy them. He offered to retrieve them, fight beside us and
to give the Ministry everything he knows about Voldie and his Death Eaters.”
Ron narrowed his eyes. “And now we get to the part that I don’t think I am going to like.
What does he want in return.”
Harry swallowed. “He wants amnesty and for the Ministry to leave his Money and family
alone. He also wanted his son protected until the war ended.”
Hermione nodded thoughtfully. “Given what he has been through and what he is offering,
I would say that is perfectly reasonable.”
Ron narrowed his eyes further and leaned forward. “What else Harry? I know there is
something else.”
Harry took a deep breath and summoned his Gryffindor courage. “He wanted my hand in
marriage.”
Ron went red faced and jumped up screaming “WHAT! HOW DARE THAT FUCKING
MONSTER! I’LL FUCKING KIM HIM!”
Harry put his face in his hands. Hermione seeing his distress looked up at her fuming boy
friend. “Ronald Weasley, sit down this minute and get your anger under control. Harry
needs your help and not your belligerence.” Her eyes then darted to his finger and she
signed. “I see you accepted his terms.”
Ron immediately zeroed in on Harry’s finger and went pale. “Harry, mate. You did not
have to do that. We could have found another way, you know that Mione and I would do
everything we could to find these horcrux things ourselves. I mean…”
Harry smiled. “Thank you Ron. That really means a lot to me. Look, there is a bit more I
have to tell you. I asked to speak to Lucius alone. Please don’t tell him I told you this, he
would prefer that this be kelp private. He told me that their was the obvious reasons to
marry me, my fame, the boost to the Malfoy name, how I could give him powerful
children. Well, I was not too impressed. I also questioned if he really wanted to soil the
Malfoy line with my “dirty blood”.
Ron looked up. “Hey that’s a good point. The Malfoys are always going on about how
pure their blood is and all. They would not want your mothers muggle blood…” Ron
blushed. “Sorry mate, no offense.”
Harry just laughed. “None taken Ron, I know what you mean. Well he initially told me
that the whole blood thing was just for Voldies benefit. However, it seems that in my case
it really does not matter.” Harry took a deep breath. “Lucius evidently had me
investigated. He found out that my Mother was actually a pureblood witch. It ends up that
her real name is Meagan Trent. For some reason, her parents, my Grandparents I guess
had moved into muggle London. They were later murdered in a bank robbery and my
Mum was taken to a muggle orphanage to be adopted by the Evans who changed her
name to Lily. Lucius believes they never told her about the adoption. Anyway, I guess the
Ministry lost track and thus believed that my mother was a gifted muggle born.”
Ron looked at Hermione before looking back at Harry. “Well, I guess that answers the
question about your blood. How did he prove it?”
“He provided me with the relevant documents.”
Ron rubbed his chin. “Hum. I wonder if they are accurate.”
Hermione spoke. “I know one way to find out. It will take me a day or so to get it,
however I can get heritage parchment. We will just need a drop of your blood and it will
show your family tree for five generations.”
Harry nodded. “Thanks Hermione. Well, back to the point. I still said these were selfish
reasons. So he confided in me that he wanted a chance for happiness. He has been
impressed with me for a number of years and grew physically attracted to be about a year
ago.” Harry started blushing. “He has some Veela blood and evidently I produce
submissive pheromones that smell wonderful to him. He then told me that he thinks I am
smart, good looking, loyal and good natured. He said that he thinks we could fall in love
at some point and that he wants a happy home and a shot at a happy life.”
Hermione nodded. “I can see where he would want that. Still its very selfish to hold the
entire world hostage to force you into it.”
Harry leaned back into the chair. “Yeah I thought so to and he admitted it himself. It was
then that he made me another offer but asked me to keep it from everyone so that I would
make the decision myself and not what everyone else would want me to do. He said that
he would follow through on his end and would not force me into marriage. He did ask me
to consider it though.”
Ron shook his head. “Then I don’t understand. Since he is willing to help anyway, why is
that ring on your finger?”
Harry took another calming breath. “I promised him I would consider it most seriously
and that I would give him his answer by that evening. We returned to the Headmasters
office and I had the Headmaster distract everyone so that I could slip into the room of
requirement. I spent the entire time thinking about it.”
Hermione reached for his hand. “Harry, you could have asked us for our help. You
should not have been all alone for something like that.” Ron nodded his agreement.
Harry gave her a smile. “I know Mione. But I promised him and you know how I am
about my promises. Besides, it really was something I had to decide on my own. Well
initially I was against it. While I am willing to forgive him for the past, seeing as its
really not his fault, its still hard to forget.” The other two nodded their agreement. “Also,
I am not in love with him. There is also the fact that I don’t get along with Draco and
now we are talking about me becoming his step father, which is all kinds of wrong. On
the flip side, my choices in mates will always be limited. Very few see past the scar, my
fame and money. I want someone who values me for me. Lucius has his own fame, his
own titles and his own money. While he acknowledges my obvious value to the Malfoy
name, I believe that he can see beyond it to the real me.”
Ron rubbed his face. “Mate, that may be, but your are still not in love with him and this is
very much an arranged marriage. A lot of arranged marriages are like what Malfoy had
with Narcissa Malfoy.”
Harry turned his head to face him. “But Ron, your own parents were arranged.”
Ron held up his hands. “I am not saying its always a nightmare. Yeah, my parents
worked out and they really do love one another. However, my parents gave up on the
whole arranged marriage thing when Bill and Charlie told them they would not agree
under any circumstances.” Ron shrugged. “Yeah its created some problems for my family
with the other purebloods. But who cares, those gits don’t like us for so many other
reasons. Anyway, I grew up knowing that the choice would be mine. I just find it strange
that you would accept it for yourself.”
Harry ran his hand through his head. “Yeah. Sirius told me that no one would ever force
me, even though I am a pureblood. But even though this is an arranged marriage, with
Lucius being the arranger, I at least was given a choice. I can’t really explain it but his
plea touched me deep down. I don’t know if I will ever fall in love with him but I am
willing to give it a try. I know that I did not have to sign the marriage contract, and
believe me when I returned to the Order meeting, no one, including your parents were
thrilled.”
Harry took a deep breath. “I realize that I am very young still and it could be said that I
am too cynical in thinking that my choices are slim.” He shrugged his shoulders. “I really
don’t know why but I find I actually want to try marriage with Lucius and give it my
best.”
Hermione studied her best friend. “I can understand Harry and if that is really what you
want, then I will back you up one hundred and ten percent.” She nibbled her lip. “Have
you considered the age difference.”
Here Harry nodded in the affirmative. “It means absolutely nothing to me. I always
wanted someone older. Someone who has experienced life. Someone that knows what
they are doing. I also wanted someone with an adult body, not like the little boys that
have been hitting on me around here, no offence mate.”
Ron just laughed. “No worries mate. I am broader and taller than the most of them but I
have no interest in my brother. So no problem mate.”
Harry also gave a laugh. “Yeah. Well Lucius is defiantly a man and physically very
attractive to me. Also he has experienced life. Besides, wizard life expectancy is about
250 and wizards can procreate well into their 80’s. So a mere twenty years does not
concern me.”
Hermione nodded. “Ok. Well I will accept your choice. But I expect you to come talk
with us if you have any problems or get second thoughts.”
Harry spoke in a small voice. “So you are ok with this?”
Hermione nodded. Ron puffed out then agreed. “Yeah mate. I may have my own
problems with the Malfoys, but I am not about to abandon my brother and best mate. If
you want him, you have my support.” Ron stretched and then thought of something.
“Hey, why could you not talk to us last night and why did you not come back to the
tower?”
Hermione looked at him with new interest. Harry flopped back into the chair. “Oh yeah, I
sort of forgot the most important part. We decided to go after the Horcruxes, just me and
Lucius for reasons of secrecy.” He then outlined the nights adventure. “Snape insisted
that we sleep in his bedroom while he and Malfoy, ok that’s just awkward, I need to learn
to start calling him Draco. Anyway, we sleep in Snape’s room while Draco and him
finished the potion. The headmaster came by in the morning and we destroyed the vile
things and then I was here.”
Ron gulped. “You shared a bed with him? Snapes bed?”
Hermione smacked the back of his head. “That’s not important Ron. You Know Who can
now be destroyed.” She turned back to her friend. “So what’s the play.”
Harry nodded. He quickly outlined what was going to happen in the next twenty four
hours. “Now I don’t think the Order, specifically Mrs. Weasley, would ever agree with
this. So I am going to use a bit of my Slythern side and we are not going to tell anyone
without the need to know. The two of you have been by my side from the very beginning.
I will not deny it to you know that the end is near.”
Hermione crossed her arms and gave an affirmative nod. Ron also nodded. “That’s right
mate. It will be a cold day in hell before I am not by your side for this.”
Harry smiled. “Thanks. Now I want you to quietly ask the DA to participate. Make them
swear secrecy on their magic. Don’t pressure them into it. I want only those that truly
want to fight to be their and those that want to stay behind should not feel any less
because of it. Besides, the Castle will need to be defended in case something does not go
right.”
Hermione stood up. “We will get that done Harry, you can depend on us.” She hugged
him. “Thanks for trusting us.”
Harry just grinned. They canceled the privacy bubble just in time. “Hey Harry. For some
reason the Ferret is outside for you.”
Harry groaned. “I am not explaining this.” He just left the common room without another
word.
Draco nodded to him and walked with him back to the dungeons. “So did everything go
well?”
Harry nodded. “Yeah. How about you.”
Draco looked at the smaller boy. “Excellent. My friends are ready. They only thing is that
they don’t want to actively fight against their own families.”
Harry winced. “I don’t blame them. Its alright. The castle will need protection anyway.”
They both walked into Snapes quarters. Lucius came over and kissed Harry’s hand.
“Everything alright Love?”
Harry smiled and nodded. “Yes Lucius. Thank you for giving me the time to explain
things. I will tell you about it later. Did you get done what you needed.”
Lucius guided him over to the dinner table. “Indeed. Now why don’t we enjoy this
excellent meal and relax for the rest of the evening. We will need our strength for
tomorrow.”
Later that evening, Harry and Lucius were laying in the bed in Snape’s spare bedroom as
Draco had went back to Slythern. Harry turned to Lucius. “Can I ask a question?”
Lucius turned on his side. “Yes Love?”
Harry also turned to face him. “Does our age difference bother you?”
Lucius ran a finger down Harry’s face. “I would not have pursued you if it did. Why,
does it bother you.”
Harry shook his head. “No. Its just something Hermione brought up. Both you and Draco
were right. I prefer older men. There is the physical side in that I prefer an adult and
developed body.” Harry then blushed, grateful that the darkness would hide it. “And I
have to admit, I want someone physically larger and stronger than I. But on the emotional
side, I wanted someone that has experienced life, someone that can actually understand
me and what I have gone through. Is that selfish of me?”
Lucius rolled onto his back, pulling Harry onto his chest and into his arms. “No Love,
that is not selfish. I think everyone hopes for someone that understands them. I know I
myself do. I have some of the same problems you have in that others see my title and
wealth. Most are only interested in the trappings that come with being a Malfoy. It is one
of the reason I want you. I believe that you already understand a lot about me. I love my
son very deeply but I don’t think he understands me on the level you do.”
Harry closed his eyes. “Yeah.” Quietness was between the two before Harry spoke again.
“You know I am going to want to do something on a regular basis when this is all over.”
Lucius gave a short nod. “It fits what I know of your personality. I don’t mind if you
work, though I will point out that I am more than willing to see to your every need.”
Harry snuggled in closer. “Yeah, I know that. Its not about the money. I have more than
what I know what to do with. Its that I want to contribute something, feel useful.”
Lucius started to rub his back. “What do you think you would want to do?”
Harry gave an appreciative grown. “I used to think I wanted to be an Auror. But after all
this, I have no taste for chasing after evil wizards. I like helping people and I like
children.”
Lucius gave him a kiss. “Perhaps healing or teaching.”
Harry mumbled, “That’s worth a thought.” He started falling asleep under Lucius’s
attentions.
Malfoy Cottage
Wales
May 31st
Harry nervously fingered his wand while they waited for the dark lord. Initially, Harry
had thought Lucius’s note to the Dark Lord was amusing, now he was not so sure. He
reviewed the words in his head.
“Your Insaneness:
I have recovered your horcruxes you half blood lunatic. I am keeping them safe in the
Malfoy Cottage. I believe I shall enjoy destroying little pieces of you in the place that by
Bitch ex-wife loved so much. The Headmaster is amused by such a thought and decided
to join my little soirée.
Have fun in the house of your mudblood father.
Lord Lucius Malfoy of the Ancient and Nobel House of Malfoy”
Yeah, it had been funny imagining the look on Voldie’s face when he read it. But now,
sitting here waiting for the wraith of the Dark Lord, Harry was not so sure. He turned to
look at his fiancé, whom was resting on the seat next to him, hands folded over his Snake
Cane and waiting patiently.
Lucius opened his eyes. “Relax Love. Everything will work out as planned.”
Harry gulped and looked back out the window. “I wish I had your confidence.”
Lucius smirked and decided to distract him. He stood up and rapped his arms around
Harry from the back. He leaned forward and whispered in his ear. “My wish is to have
your beautiful arse gripping my cock in a loving embrace while I pump you full of my
essence.”
Harry blushed right to his roots. “Lucius! Stop talking dirty to me.”
Lucius chuckled. “We both will need patience for our wishes to be granted.”
Harry was still blushing and looked sideways at him. “I think the world would die of
shock if they ever learned what a pervert you are.”
Lucius smirked and looked out the window. “Only for you my Love, only for you.”
Harry just shook his head and leaned back into that broad chest. He was beginning to like
being held by Lucius. Several cracks started announcing the arrival of the Death Eaters.
Lucius let go of Harry and pulled his wand. “Ah, so that would be our guests. And oh
look, its my bitch of an ex-wife.”
Harry looked out at the woman with flowing blond hair. She was not only one apparating
in that did not have a mask on. “Lucius is there a reason that she is without a mask?”
Lucius had narrowed his eyes at the hated witch. “Yes, she is announcing her presence to
me.” He turned to Harry. “I will explain what I am going to do so you won’t panic, Love.
I am going to invoke the Ancient laws of blood vendetta that are enjoyed by the Lords of
the Realm. This means that none of the Death Eaters will be able to touch me until
Narcissa is dead. It also means that the Ministry can not do anything to me afterwards.”
Harry gulped and looked out at the amassing Death Eaters. “But what if the Death Eaters
decide to ignore the ancient law? What if they start hexing you?”
Lucius smirked. “Oh that is the lovely thing about the ancient laws. Once I invoke them,
magic itself will restrain all others from acting until the matter is resolved.”
Mad Eye had heard Lucius’s plan. He gave a nod to the blond. “Alright Malfoy, I may
not like you but Merlin knows you have the right and she has it coming. As soon as she is
dealt with, I will signal our forces to attack.”
Lucius nodded. “Keep an eye out. I suspect the Dark Lord will put in an appearance as
soon as Narcissa is no longer with us.”
Before any could respond a challenge issued. “Where are you Darling Husband. Come
and great your wife!”
Lucius snarled and stepped out of the cottage. “You are no longer my wife, bitch. You
are a blood traitor to the Malfoy Clan. I Lucius Abraxis Malfoy, Lord of the Ancient and
Nobel House of Malfoy declare blood vendetta and demand satisfaction under the laws of
Merlin.” White light pulsed around every single wizard and witch present before
disappearing. To their dismay, the Death Eaters found that they could not raise their
wands but then, neither could the hiding Order or Ministry.
Narcissa’s eyes went wide as she realized what had happened and took a step back.
“Lucius, dear, the Dark Lord will forgive you, you just need…”
Lucius narrowed his eyes and stalked towards the witch. “You and my poor excuse of a
father used the most despicable means to enslave me to that mad half blood. You
threatened the very existence of the Malfoy’s. Did you think there would be no
punishment for that Bitch?” Lucius hurled a cutting hex at his ex, slicing her across the
face.
Narcissa screamed and brought up a shield charm a moment to late. Lucius continued to
stalk her as she moved around the field. “Did you think that I would not see you suffer
whore?” This time he cast a bone crushing hex and shattered her left arm.
“Oh, did you believe it was a secret from me that you were fucking the Dark Lord, slut?”
Lucius twisted to avoid her desperate hex at him and smirked. “Is that the best you have,
Narcissa DEAR?”
Lucius fired a burning hex and crisped the flesh of her back with her screaming in agony.
“Did you think I would allow you to continue to defile the Malfoy’s, hum, bitch?” He
cast another bone crusher, this time shattering both her legs. “And did you image, for one
moment that I would allow you life given what you have done. Well did you cunt!?”
Lucius leaped forward and snapped her neck with his bare hands.
The spell on the Death Eaters dropped but they did not move, having witnessed his brutal
dispatch of his ex-wife. Voldermort decided to apparate in at that moment. He took a
look at Narcissa’s dead body then up at Lucius. “I see you have had your revenge slave.
Well you shall pay.”
Lucius smirked. “Believe what you like Riddle.” Before the Dark Lord could curse him,
both the Ministry and the Order attacked. The forces were evenly matched, however, the
Death Eaters were surrounded and thus had a slight disadvantage. The battle between
them and the combined forces of the Order and Ministry was brutal with casualties all
around. However new cracks of apparation were heard. Both sides paused to take stock
and then were surprised to see school children taking down Death Eaters by the numbers.
Dumbledore’s Army had arrived.
The Dark Lord Voldermort was practically foaming at the mouth at this point. His side
was losing and rather bad. However, he had no choice but to continue the battle. He could
not allow Lucius to destroy his horcruxes. He hexed an Auror and then turned to a sight
that he hated more that Lucius. “Potter!”
Harry Potter came strolling out, flanked by the other two members of the Golden Trio. As
his friends busied themselves with hexing any Death Eater trying to take a shot at their
friend, Harry paid full and sole attention on Voldermort. “Hello Tom. Fancy meeting you
here.”
Voldermort spat. “Don’t call me by that filthy muggle name, you insolent child! My
name is…”
Harry gave a slight smirk. “Yes I know you prefer to not think of the father you murdered
but Tom is your real name. So tell me Tom, have you made your peace with Merlin?”
Voldermort raised his wand at the boy. “Foolish boy! It is you that shall die this day.
Avada Kedavra!”
Harry side stepped the green light. “Tom, I don’t think you should be trying any
unforgivables. I might be tempted to use one myself.”
Voldermort heckled. “Why not? Even if you manage to kill me, I will come back!”
Harry raised his brow. “Oh? Perhaps you refer to your horcruxes?”
Voldermort paled. “How… Impossible, you couldn’t know about them.
Harry raised his hand and examined his nails. “Really? Shall I name them for you? A
Diary, Slytherns locket, dagger and focus stone, the Gaunt family ring, Ravenclaws
Diadem and your familiar Nagini.” Harry looked back up into his eyes as he said the
snakes name. Voldermort looked ready to faint. “Yes. We found all of them and they are
all destroyed.”
Voldermort took a step back in fear. “Impossible!”
Harry gave him a sad smile. “I am afraid not.” Harry then stood up very straight and took
on a serious look. “Tom Marvolo Riddle. You were granted life with blood stolen from
the Potter line. You have dishonored that blood and are a blood traitor of the Royal Line
of the Ancient and Nobel House of Potter. I, Harry James Potter, heir of the Ancient and
Nobel House of Potter and Peer of the Realm disown and repudiate the blood given to the
thief and traitor Tom Marvolo Riddle. By the laws of Merlin, so moot it be!”
Golden light erupted from Harry and slammed into Voldermort. A red mist raced up and
away from the Dark Lord as his stolen blood abandoned him. His resurrection ritual came
apart at the seems and Voldermort’s body literally blew apart and the pieces dissolved
into ash. The Dark Lord was no more.
The Death Eaters were perfectly still while this happened. Their dark marks evaporated,
causing them a great deal of pain. They were quickly captured.
There was a moment of argument between some of the Auror’s and the Headmaster.
These Auror’s wanted to arrest both Severus and Malfoy and were not listening to Albus.
Harry scowled and marched up to the lead instigator. “What is your name?” Demanded
Harry.
The Auror sneered at him. “I am Auror Victor Patterson, boy! If you know what’s good
for you…”
Harry got up into his face, impressive when you consider that he was more than a foot
shorter than Patterson. “Well, Auror Victor Patterson. I am Harry James Potter, the
wizard that just defeated Voldermort. You might also know me as the Boy Who Lived.
Lord Lucius Malfoy and Lord Severus Snape are both Hero’s of the Wizarding World.
Lord Snape spent the last twenty years as a spy, bringing us vital information. Lord
Malfoy made this victory possible by helping track down and destroying each of
Voldermorts horcruxes. He has also provided information on all the true Death Eaters.
Without either of these men, Voldermort would still be alive and you would probably be
dead.”
Patterson licked his lip nervously and then tried to reassert his authority. “Now see here. I
am an Auror and have the authority of the Ministry. Just because you fought here…”
Harry sneered. “Just because I fought… You are really stupid, you know that Patterson.
Let me make it very plain to you. Your beloved Ministry is already in hot water in
regards to me, thanks to that idiot Fudge. Did you by any chance see how quickly he was
thrown out on his arse for opposing me?”
The Auror blanched at this. Harry narrowed his eyes. “I am already loved by the people
for being the Boy Who Lived, the one that banished the Dark Lord when he was only a
year old and has been bravely fighting him for the past seven years. Not only that but I
am the heir of not just one but three ancient houses and will take Lordship is just two
days. This is not to mention that the Potters are of the Royal Line. Also I am wealthy
beyond belief. All of these will give me unbelievable political power. But this is nothing
in comparison to how much adoration, love and yes, power that the entire Wizarding
World is going to hand me on a Silver Plate for getting rid of Voldermort once and for
all. The Minister himself will quiver in fear at the mere thought of offending me.”
By this time, there was silence as all those within hearing were listening to Harry’s little
speech. The Aurors at this point were sweating bullets. Harry reached up, fisted the robes
of Paterson and yanked him down, so that he was face to face. “Those that know me,
know that I normally don’t like the attention, titles or fuse. But let me be perfectly clear.
Anyone, and I mean Anyone, that moves against either of these two men will have me as
an attentive enemy. I will bend all of my influence and power at utterly destroying those
responsible on as many levels as I can. Voldermort is gone, I am about to graduation
Hogwarts and I am rich. I really don’t have anything better to do with my time. If you
don’t back off, I will personally see to it that you spend the rest of your miserable life and
what’s left of your dead career, regretting the day you ever heard the names Lucius
Malfoy, Severus Snape or Harry Potter.”
Harry let him go. “So, Auror Victor Patterson. Are you going to be a smart boy and go
find more worthwhile endeavors. Or are you going to gain me as an enemy. Think before
you answer. My last enemy did not do so well.”
Patterson looked at the small wizard before him and gulped in fear. “No Mr. Potter, I
don’t want you as an enemy. I apologize for the misunderstanding.” He quickly made his
way over to the other prisoners.
Harry nodded and then looked over to the other Aurors. “What about you? Are you smart
or are you idiots?”
They all quickly found that their services were needed elsewhere. Harry blew out a sign
of relief. He turned to an amused Kingsley Shacklebolt. “May I ask you for a favor?”
Kingsley bowed low. “Oh yes almighty Harry Potter sir. I just live to be of service.”
Harry huffed. “Quiet you git.” He then gave a smile to show he was kidding. “Could you
spread word of my threat around the Ministry? I hate throwing my weight around and
would rather not have to repeat it.”
Kingsley gave a nod and then smiled. “Of course Harry. I don’t think anyone will be
stupid enough to ignore you. You did brilliantly kid.” He ruffled Harry’s hair and
marched off.
Dumbledore turned to his pupil. “Yes well done my boy. I am glad that they decided to
listen to you. I was afraid for a moment that I might actually have to hex a few of them to
get them to leave poor Severus and Lucius alone.”
Severus smirked. “Well I am just glad that I was here to see the brat finally admit that he
loves himself.”
Lucius elbowed his friend before Harry could rant on him. “What this ungrateful git is
trying to say is that we both thank you for freeing us from the Dark Lord and dealing with
those Ministry idiots.”
Harry pouted at Severus and then let out a sigh. “Alright. Your both welcome.” He ran a
hand though his hair. “Can we leave now?”
Lucius pulled his little fiancé into his arms. “What ever you desire Love. I think we both
could do with a bath, some good food and rest. Besides, we have a wedding to plan. I was
thinking in about two weeks.”
Harry was heard saying. “Lucius isn’t that a bit soon. I always thought that weddings
took a long time to plan.”
Lucius’s departing comment before they apparated away. “Harry love, we are Malfoy’s.
The impossible is possible.”

The Choice
Epilogue
Malfoy Manor
June 15th
The last two weeks had been a blur as far as Harry was concerned. They had graduated
Hogwarts and then he was plunged into the madness that was wedding planning. To be
fair, Lucius handled most of the arrangements. Still, Harry was responsible for drawing
up his guest list, which considering that Harry had very little use for most of the
wizarding public, was still considerable. Then he had to pick out his wedding robes,
choose whom of his friends would be in his wedding party, along with making sure that
they do not clash with Lucius’s wedding party.
Finally after what seemed like more effort than that which went into the war, the bliss
filled day had arrived. And if that barmy old fool used the words bliss, love or future with
him just one more time…
“Remember my dear boy, this blissful event will give you the love of family that you so
richly deserved. And with your future…”
Harry stomped his foot and started looking for his wand. Seeing this, Minerva
McGonagall decided to save her bosses life, once again. “Albus, I just heard that the elfs
are taking away that bowl of lemon drops you brought.”
The Headmaster frowned. “Oh dear. Excuse me Harry.”
Harry breathed with relief as the mans loud purple robes disappeared from his rooms.
“Oh thank Merlin. Professor, I owe you a big favor.”
McGonagall smirked. “Not a problem Potter. He gets on everyone’s nerves during these
types of events. Also, he ate an obscene amount of candy this morning.”
Harry snorted and turned back towards the mirror. He mumbled, “Someone needs to give
him a bunch of downers.”
McGonagall looked at him funny. “Downers?”
Harry blushed. “Err…Muggle drugs that mellow you out.”
McGonagall gave a frown. “I see. Well, lets finish getting you ready.” The witch pulled
her wand and started making minute adjustments to Harry’s outfit and general
appearance. She mumbled, “Thank Merlin that at least one Potter has enough sense to
grow their hair out. I swear that I have thought that the Potters were slaves to the whole
“an owl has taken residence in their hair look”, since your grandfather.” She grabbed a
brush and fanned it out over his back.
Harry nodded and smiled. “Thanks, professor. Um.. You knew my grandfather?”
McGonagall nodded as she considered the robes for a moment. Again she mumbled
“What idiot thought of Slythern Green. It’s a wedding for Merlin’s sake and honestly,
who ever heard of a Gryffindor wearing such a hideous color.” Harry was giggling to
which his head of house smiled at. “Besides, the entire world should know the Honor of
our house and despite a certain pair of twins, certain activities are to be saved for after
bonding. Now, then I believe you were asking about your grandfather.”
She transfigured the robes into a cut and color to meet her exacting standards. She then
had delicate embroidery march up the sleeves. “I first met Harold Potter in my third year.
You are named after him, you know. Harold was quite the charmer and befriended any
that he met. We were soon thick as thieves. And let me tell you that those Weasley boys
had nothing on Harold Potter…”
Harry listened to stories of the antics of his grandfather and his Professor. He was
actually shocked to learn that the stern witch was a known trouble maker and prankster
during her Hogwarts years. “And then he met Annie Montgomery. Annie was a transfer
student from the Merlin Academy. For reasons that still escape reasoning, her parents had
decided that education in America was more beneficial than Hogwarts. Still, they realized
their mistake and Annie came to Hogwarts.”
“Your Grandfather was smitten at first sight. However, just like Lily, Annie could not
stand the current Potter Heir. To make matters worse, her parents entered her into an
arranged marriage with Harold. Well, let me tell you that she blamed him 100 percent.
The first two years of their marriage was lively to say the least. Yet Annie eventually fell
in love with Harold and they ended up with one of those fairy tell marriages that you read
about. Years latter Annie told me that her on regret was fighting Harold for so long.
Come to think of it, Lily said the same.”
She gave him a look and Harry instantly understood the hidden message and gave her a
smile. “Don’t worry Professor, I have already decided to give it my best.”
McGonagall chucked. “Spoken like a true Gryffindor.” After McGonagall had dressed up
Harry to her satisfaction they made their way out into the Gardens where the bonding
ceremony was to take place. Harry took a deep breath and accepted the arm of Sirius,
who was giving him away. Sirius still did not look too happy with the situation but under
numerous threats from both Harry and Remus, was going to do his duty anyway.
Lucius Malfoy looked onto his chosen mate with awe. Harry was a vision in pristine
white robes. The boys hair had been spelled long and sprayed across his back. And his
eyes glowed and could now be seen, as the Lord of Malfoy Manor had insisted in getting
the vision of the boy who lived corrected, thus no hideous glasses. Harry James Potter
was in a word, beautiful.
Lucius continued to drink in the sight of his love, ignoring the words of the Priest until
his part came. “I, Lucius Abraxis Malfoy, Lord of the Malfoys and Duke of Wilshire take
thee Harry, as my husband and bonded, in mind, body, magic and soul, from now until all
time.”
Harry licked his lips nervously and spoke his vows. “I, Harry James Potter, heir of the
Houses Potter , Trent and Black, future Earl of Cumberland, take thee Lucius, as my
husband and bonded, in mind, body, magic and soul, from now until all time.”
The Priest nodded and rapped a rope around their wrists. “Remember you vows and let
none tear them asunder.” He then mumbled the bonding spells. A glow surrounded both
wizards wrists. The glow flashed and then left the bonding bracelets that Lucius had
commissioned in its place. “By the authority of the Ministry of Magic of the British
Empire, I pronounced you bonded. Lord Malfoy, you may kiss your groom.”
Lucius quickly pulled Harry into his arms and claimed those lips. Harry had expected to
receive a simple kiss but evidently his new husband did not care that they were in public.
Lucius gently bit Harry’s lip and slipped in his tongue as the boy gasped. They finally
broke the kiss to the cheering of the crowd.
The Priest smiled. “May I present Lucius and Harry Malfoy.” The guests clapped and
cheered again. Lucius escorted his husband down the isle. Harry for his part had a blush
on both cheeks as he was congratulated by several well wishers.
The feast was magnificent, though Harry could not have told you what it was. Later that
evening, Lord Malfoy portkeyed his husband and himself to a secluded Wizarding Resort
in the south Pacific. “Well my love, its just the two of us.”
Harry rapped his arms around his husbands and let Lucius kiss him with in an inch of his
life. Before he knew it, Lucius had them both naked and Harry quickly prepared. The
initial penetration did hurt but Lucius distracted him with many kisses and love bites.
“Oh fuck your tight!” Exclaimed Lucius as he fucked his Harry up against the wall. Both
men soon reached their climaxes, thought that did not stop them repeating the exercise
throughout the evening and in fact through most of the honeymoon. Harry did not get to
see much of the resort.
Ten Months Later
Malfoy Manor
“Lucius Abraxis Malfoy, you fucking arsehole! You ever bring your cock near my arse
again, I am going to chop it up and flush it down the toilet! OH FUCK THAT HURTS!”
Yelled a panting Harry.
Lucius gulped. He had heard that pregnant males were worse then women, but really.
“Come on Love, I know it hurts but you have to breath. Soon the Healer will perform the
spell…”
Harry glared at the blond. “I AM FUCKING BREATHING YOU TWIT!”
The healer smiled which earned him a glare from the Boy Who Lived Twice. Gulping he
quickly cast the charm and the baby was apparated into his arms, who quickly took up a
loud cry, announcing his general dissatisfaction with the world. “Congratulation’s my
Lords Malfoy, you have a healthy son.”
The healer gently lowered the babe into Harry’s arms, who’s attitude did a complete 180,
looking into his sons face. “Luc he is gorgeous.”
Lucius breathed in relief. “That he is love. So which name should we go with?”
Harry looked up. “I like your idea please.”
Lucius nodded and turned to the Healer. “His name is James Marcus Malfoy Potter, Heir
of the House Potter.”
AN:
I wanted to provide a finally to this story. The truth is that the story was really done with
the final battle as this story was just about Harry’s choice. Still I wanted to provide the
wedding and happily ever after. I hope you have enjoyed.
