Chapter-11
Sacrifice for Love Part II
"Really." He looked at him with stunned eyes and father stared back "Yes. You are very brave and I am proud to have a brave and courageous son. I do understand what you are going through and so does Harry. You have to understand that we are Hogwarts's professors's now and we can't exactly keep this hidden from aurors."
"Casting unforgivable curses makes him dangerous, if he IS casting it." Harry spoke with crossed arms and a stern face. Scorpius averted his eyes and replied softly "He isn't."
"He isn't? Are you sure, Scorpius?" This time it was Hermione who asked him and her voice was soft. She sat beside him and held his hands in hers.
"Yes. I am sure." He looked at her and saw an understanding in her eyes. He felt an urge to hug her. It just hurt so much and he couldn't exactly hug his father or Harry. She might have seen it because she smiled and her brown eyes grew softer and then she opened her arms to welcome him. He crawled in her arms gladly. He had never had a mother figure. His grandmum had always been distant and it was soothing because Hermione was really a very warm and kind woman. Belatedly, he realized that his body was shaking and his eyes were watering and he was crying like a small child and he was anything but a small child.
"Shhh. It's okay. It's okay. I will heal you and the pain will go. Shhhh." She rocked him as he cried and he was glad that his father couldn't see his mortified face. He had been five the last he had cried in front of anyone.
After several minutes, he calmed down and pulled back and looked pointedly away from father and Harry.
"Scorpius, now look at me. You can come to me, okay. I won't ask questions. I understand that your silence might be important so I won't ask anything. But you will take certain medicines and potions before it becomes necessary for you to repeat this incident, okay?" Hermione asked and kept her hands on his shoulders. Her eyes were bright and warm and understanding and Scorpius nodded before he knew. He was glad that he was not alone. He had not really gotten over the fact that Albus had fucked Marcus in front of a man who was a complete stranger to him, without any preparation and had crucioed him, not just once but several times, just for the sake of learning the curse. He wondered about Albus's reaction on realizing that it was Scorpius instead of the man.
How was he supposed to bring him back? Could he bring him back? What would the process entail?
The reason he had replaced the man was that he knew that he would not have died from Cruciatus and the man would most certainly have died and Albus would never have forgiven himself for killing someone. Right now, Albus was not really behaving rationally but Albus would never forgive himself for murdering someone when he would come back to his senses. Scorpius wanted to prevent Albus from doing anything unforgivable or irreversible so he replaced the man.
"Why are you doing this Scorpius? Why? You are not doing this because you slept around behind his back, are you?" Harry asked him with crossed arms and he looked at the green eyed man. He shook his head. He wanted to speak but no sound would escape his mouth yet.
Once again, it was his father who looked at him and answered for him "He does not want him to do anything unforgivable, anything that he would never forgive himself for."
Harry looked in his eyes for some sort of answer and Scorpius lay back on the bed and turned around so that he did not have to face anyone yet.
"Draco." He heard Harry call father.
"Yes."
"You were wrong, you know. He is more like you than Lucius." Scorpius heard and would have smiled, except that nothing would make him smile yet.
"He is. Isn't it?" Father replied softly.
"Close your eyes and go to sleep, Scorpius. I will feed you medicines and give you dreamless sleep too. Just try to sleep." He heard Hermione's soothing voice and felt lips kiss his forehead and whisper softly "Thank you." Even if he did not open his eyes, he knew that it was Harry.

Scorpius had slept and Hermione had flooed over to her own house with a few instructions and potions..
"Harry, we can sleep in the guest room." Draco whispered softly after closing the door to their room and Harry just nodded and replied in a strained voice "Lead the way."
"Harry, please calm-" Draco spoke, looking at him worriedly and Harry cut him off "I can't calm down. What you are asking of me is preposterous. How can I sacrifice Scorpius's health for my son? How is it fair to him? I can't. I simply can't do this, Draco."
"We don't know that it is Albus. It might be someone else." Of course, Draco did not believe his own words and Harry glared at him weakly. Draco just averted his eyes. "How can you even allow this, Draco? He is your son. You are letting someone crucio him even though you can stop it."
"You think I can stop him. No one can stop him at this point. He will find some way to accomplish what he wants. He won't let us imprison Albus, if that's what you are thinking." Draco replied in an equally concerned voice.
"SO, this means that I am just supposed to look at him when he come broken and bleeding because my son crucioed him, eh? If my son is going to be the next dark lord, then I would like to stop it before it goes beyond my control." Harry snapped at him and rubbed his forehead.
"Scorpius wants to spare you, you understand. He wants you to let him do this his way. If you intervene, he will not ask for our help. He will suffer silently. Is that what you want?" He looked at Harry with cool eyes "If it is, then, be my guest. Imprison Albus and then Scorpius will find some other way to free him and continue what he is doing but he won't trust us anymore. We can decrease his pain and heal his injuries. We can teach him to fight but we can't stop him from helping Albus. Please do not ask any questions from him. We have to help him silently without any intervention. Okay?"
Harry breathed deeply, attempting to control his rage and Draco held his shoulders "OKAY?"
He nodded and replied "Okay. OKAY. I will help him silently, without any intervention, just like he wants. Merlin only knows how professor Dumbledore did this all the time."
Harry looked into Draco's eyes and for the first time, he understood how difficult it must have been for professor Dumbledore to take so many hard decisions. It might have been as difficult for Professor Dumbledore to make those decisions as easy it was for him to blame him for all his miseries.
Albus's voice brought him out of his musings "Dad, what is happening. I heard voices. What are you and Dra-" Draco glared at him and he continued "Mr. Malfoy doing awake so late?"
"If I do not have any right to ask you to stay away from Marcus, even though I am your father, then you don't have any right to ask anything from me as well." Harry snapped at him and clenched his fists. Draco knew that his husband was very angry, considering the way his eyes burned in Albus's.
Albus took a step back, alarmed in the face of his father's anger and whispered "Dad-"
"You will address me as 'sir' in the future." Harry snapped and moved forward. Draco had to restrain him with both arms to stop him.
"But dad-" Albus started and Harry glared menacingly at him "You will address me as 'sir', or so help me Albus, I will-"
Fortunately, Draco interrupted him quietly "Don't. You know this is not right." Their eyes met and Draco's soft eyes softened his hard ones "But he-".
"No, Harry. Please." Draco pleaded him and Harry nodded and breathed deeply, keeping his eyes on Draco's all the while "Ask him to return to his room, then."
Draco turned towards Albus walked towards him. He squeezed his son's shoulders comfortingly and smiled softly at him and then whispered "Go and sleep. He is just not comfortable with your relationship with Marcus. It does not mean that we do not trust you. We trust you and love you. It's late. Go to sleep. Good night."
Albus looked at Draco in wonder. He was obviously as surprised as Harry himself was. After a couple of seconds, he nodded and looked at Harry. Harry pointedly averted his eyes and looked away. Albus sighed and left them after that.
As Draco took his arms and dragged him to the guest room, Harry could only stare at his husband in wonder. Albus had most probably hurt his own son. How could Draco have such a large heart?
Draco locked the door and crawled in the bed beside him, resting his head on Harry's chest and his legs on Harry's legs and Harry hugged him tight. Only when he thought that Draco had slept, he kissed him and whispered "I love you. You don't know the extent to which I love you. You are so bloody nice and I don't know how you can smile at Albus and claim to trust him but I really am lucky to have you as my husband. I really am."
He closed his eyes and was on the brink of losing himself to slumber when a soft kiss was pressed on his chest and a soft whisper reached his ears "I love you too and I am the lucky one, even if you don't realize it yet." With a sad smile on his face, he fell asleep.
