Chapter 10

Almost
every night Harry snuck into Draco�s room, nightmares haunted him when he
didn�t. Lucius caught him one night and
asked him what he was doing. When he
answered Lucius nodded and let him go, telling him that it was perfectly
alright. The summer was uneventful until
one day when the Daily Prophet came. The
headline read, BLACK ESCAPES FROM
AZKABAN.

Harry
looked at it, confused, �Lucius, who�s Sirius Black?� He asked, skimming the
paper.

He
looked over, �Him? He was accused of
killing 13 people. They said he was a
supporter of your father but that�s a flat out lie. He was friends with Potter. Totally against the Dark
Lord. Unless there�s something my
Lord didn�t tell me.�

Harry
nodded, �I see. So he escaped? What�s he after?�

�Who
knows? He might be after you if he knows
your true lineage or he might be after you because, if I remember correctly,
James Potter made him your godfather.�

He
blinked, �Do I have a real godfather?� He asked softly.

Lucius
smiled at that, �Yes, you do.�

�Who?� He asked excitedly.

�Me.�

�If�If those Muggles aren�t really part of my family then why did I
have to stay with them?� Harry asked, fingering his ring.

Lucius
sighed, �You have Dumbledore to thank for that.
He doesn�t want you to know who your father is. He doesn�t want you to know about your
heritage. The reason he keeps trying to
take your pendant is because it reminds him of who you are.� He paused, �He
hoped that you wouldn�t be sorted into Slytherin. He hoped that he would be able to have some
semblance of control over you.�

Harry
sighed, �Is there a faster way to get my father back? Why do we have to wait so long?�

Lucius
sighed, �We don�t if you want to use the stone.
That would restore him.�

�Alright,
use it. I don�t want to be without my
father.� His eyes filled up with tears, �I want to know what it�s like, I want a family.�

Hesitantly
Lucius wrapped his arms around the crying boy, �Alright Harry. When you come here this summer your father
will be back, alright?� He asked softly.

Harry
nodded, �Thank you Lucius.� He whispered.

He
nodded, �We still need to get your things for school, where�s Draco?�

�Drac? I haven�t seen
him all day.� He looked at Veneficus, <Find
Drac.> He ordered, his voice a low hiss.
Veneficus gave a disgruntled hiss back and slithered off to find him,
�He�s going to go look for him.�

Lucius
chuckled softly, �You�re a lot like your father.�

Draco
was wandering around outside, playing absently with his ring. He was thinking about everything that had
transpired. He wasn�t sure what to
think, Harry wasn�t Harry, he was someone else. He didn�t understand,
he wanted to know who his father was. It
was obvious that whoever Harry�s father was, he was close to Lucius. He looked up when he heard footsteps coming
up the front path. His eyes narrowed as
he saw who it was, Dumbledore. Veneficus
hissed, sliding up to Draco and making his way to his shoulder. The snake obviously had a great dislike for
the white haired wizard. Draco didn�t
look too pleased either. It wasn�t
normal for him to show up, especially not here.

Draco
looked at Veneficus, �Could you get my father?� He asked softly, unsure if the
snake understood or not. Veneficus
hissed and slithered away quickly, obviously understanding what he wanted. Draco looked over at Dumbledore, �Hello Professor,
what brings you here?� He asked, trying to be the polite host, he really didn�t
want him here.

He
smiled at the young blonde, �Hello Draco.
I�ve come to speak to Harry.�

Draco
scowled and at that moment his father came striding out, cane in hand, �Albus.�
Lucius said calmly, �What have you come for, hmm?�

�I
need to speak with Harry about the recent events.� He said, looking at the
elder Malfoy calmly.

�He
already knows and I have spoken with him.
I do not think that he needs you to tell him what he already knows.�

Dumbledore
looked almost taken aback but quickly recovered, �I think it would be best if I
spoke with him.�

Lucius
sighed and shook his head, �Draco, would you go get him? Obviously you will not be dissuaded.�

Draco
went off to get Harry while the two adults said nothing to each other. When the two boys came back Harry narrowed
his eyes at Dumbledore. Veneficus was laying across his shoulders, hissing.

�Harry,�
Dumbledore began, �I�m sure you have heard about the recent escape and we feel
it would be best if you came and stayed at Hogwarts for the rest of the
summer.�

Harry
shook his head, �I don�t know who �we� is but I�m perfectly safe here.�

Dumbledore
sighed and handed Harry and Draco their letters, �Consider it, would you?�

�I�ll
consider it.� Harry said icily, watching Dumbledore walk away, �Crazy old git.� He mumbled causing Draco to chuckle softly. Once the three of them were inside, four if
you included Veneficus, Harry spoke up again, �Lucius? Why did my father try to kill me?�

Lucius
took a deep breath, �Alright you two, sit down.� He said, looking at Harry as
they sat, �First of all I want to know if you�ve been reading your book Harry.�
He shook his head and Lucius sighed, �Alright, I was just curious, it doesn�t
have to do with your question.� He cleared his throat, �I�m not sure if I
should be telling you this but I know you won�t stop pestering me until I
do. It wasn�t really your father who
tried to kill you. Yes, he was the one
who cast the curse but he didn�t know that it was you. Dumbledore manipulated him into believing
that you would cause his downfall. It
wasn�t until he cast it that he realized what he had done and by then it was
too late.� He paused, looking at the expression on Harry�s face. He did not look pleased, �Now, you cannot let
anyone know what I have told you.� He ordered, looking at the two boys, �You
cannot act as though you know either. It
would be best for you to continue on as normal, understand?� Harry just sat
there for a moment before nodding; Draco had already done so before him,
�Good. We still need to get your school
supplies. We can go tomorrow.� Lucius
smiled at Harry, �Read your book if you want to know about your family. I�ll give you your birthday present
tomorrow.� He said, remembering when his birthday was. Harry smiled, �Now go finish
your summer homework if the two of you haven�t already then you can do what you
want.�

The
two boys sighed, not wanting to do their homework but got up and went to get it
done before school started in a few weeks.
The days seemed to drag on, summer was fun and enjoyable, yes, but as
school approached it didn�t seem to end fast enough. They were looking forward to the coming year,
curious to see what was going to happen next, to see what strange things this
year would bring.

�Get
out here!� Lucius shouted to the two boys, �It�s time to go! If you�re not out here soon you�re not going
to make it to school, do you want to explain that to your mother?�

Harry
and Draco rushed down the stairs, their trunks being taken care of by the house
elves. Lucius smiled to himself and
walked purposefully to the door, his cane in hand. Harry and Draco followed after, Veneficus
around Harry�s arm and Draco�s raven, Augur, on the blonde�s shoulder. Lucius smiled at the two boys briefly before
they were off to King�s Cross and the train that awaited them. Harry and Draco immediately located an empty
compartment and relaxed inside. The only
people that really joined them on the train were Crabbe and Goyle. Of course they got other visitors as well,
mostly other Slytherins. This time
though they received some very unexpected guests.

�Malfoy
and Potter�� Ron started; he was standing in the door to their compartment.

�Get
out of here Weasley before I find it in my heart to hex you into the middle of
next week.� Harry growled lowly, his voice threatening.

Ron
immediately pulled out his wand, it was broken, taped in the middle, �You know that thing isn�t safe Weasley, don�t you?� Draco
sneered, �That second hand wand of yours might just�backfire.� He said with a
chuckle.

Ron,
the hotheaded Gryffindor that he is, had come without backup, not that he
really seemed to noticed, �Eat slugs Malfoy!� He said angrily, pointing the
wand at Draco.

It
backfired, hitting him instead. Harry
and Draco immediately burst into laughter as Ron began to burp up slugs,
�You�re messing up our compartment, get out of here Weasel.� Draco sneered,
pushing Ron out the door and locking it.

Harry
was laughing so hard he hit the ground.
Suddenly the two boys stopped. It
was getting cold. They shuddered,
rubbing their arms at the sudden chill, �What the hell?� Harry asked softly.

It
began to get colder before the door rattled.
Draco and Harry jumped looking towards it, the lights had gone off and
all they could see was a figure cloaked in black. A sense of foreboding overcame the two
boys. Harry grabbed his head, a scream
echoing through his mind. Memories he
didn�t even know he had flowed through his head, sorrow, pain, screaming, and
begging. Then all was black.
