Guilty Pleasure
"So Albus, you wanted to know what happened after Potter caught Draco with Flint and Finnigan. Now that I have sated your curiosity, will you answer my question?" Mr. Zabini murmurs. For a few moments, Albus licks his lips nervously and stares at the other man in total silence. Mr. Zabini could ask anything and there are things Albus can't tell anyone yet.
However, the man might simply refuse to help Albus if Albus doesn't answer. Dad has gone to France on some head auror business and will return after a week. This might be the only chance Albus has to view his memories. This also might be the only opportunity to ask around about Draco's memories too. Mr. Zabini is Draco's closest friend after Mrs. Parkinson-Nott who simply asked him to stay away from it.
"Yes." Albus answers quietly.
"Why are you so interested in Draco all of a sudden and where did you get Potter's memories of that night?" The man asks the questions Albus was dreading.
He sighs deeply and then looks into Mr. Zabini's eyes before replying bluntly, "I love him."
Mr. Zabini gapes at Albus. His jaw hangs open in shock. His eyes are wide and his entire frame has frozen.
"He is your father's age."
Albus nods but refrains from saying anything.
Mr. Zabini leans back and stares at Albus before starting,"Last I heard, you were dating Scorpius."
Albus swallows nervously and feels awkward. Mr. Zabini is Scorpius's godfather.
"Say something Albus." Mr. Zabini leans forward and joins his hands before muttering.
"It was a ploy to stay close to Draco."
"It's Potions Master Malfoy for you, Albus." Mr. Zabini says harshly. His eyes are steeled and his body is stiff with tension as he continues, "Do you even know the meaning of love. This is not love. What you are doing - wait a minute-"
Mr. Zabini's eyes widen before he mutters, "Where did you get Potter's memories from?"
Albus stares at the man silently. Before Albus can answer, Mr. Zabini continues, "Oh my! Now I remember. How could I forget it. I would ask you to stay away from this but I know that you won't. I will have you know Albus that what you are doing is going to have consequences."
"What consequences?" Albus hisses sharply. He clenches his fists and leans forward, "Whatever they had was in the past. Draco is divorced and dad is happy with mom."
Albus knows that his last few words are not true. He doesn't correct himself though.
Mr. Zabini suddenly tips his head and laughs hard before sneering, "As entertaining as this visit was, I won't involve myself in this madness again. You want to dig their past, eh? You want to date -" the man chuckles again, "-date Draco as in long term dating, eh? You are welcome to try but I'll have no part in it. I tried my best and I don't have the strength or desire to do this all over again. Kindly leave. I will, however warn you to not fall for my best friend's charms. He is a ruthless man."
"But, I need to know Dr-" Albus stutters, "Potions Master Malfoy's side of things."
However, Mr. Zabini starts pushing Albus towards the door while muttering, "Ask him then. Don't ask me. I refuse to do this again and I'll have a word with Pansy as well. Don't visit her. She is not as forgiving as I am."
As soon as Albus is out, the man slams the door on his face.
Albus breathes hard. He is annoyed and frustrated. The thing is- the thing is that he wants to see more of younger Draco Malfoy. Albus is a bit obsessed with the man. He's been in love with him ever since he was fifteen. Draco used to come to deliver a special lecture every week at Hogwarts. He was in fifth year at that time. Today, four years later, Albus has still not gotten over it. No body knows about it, not even Scorpius. Albus broke up with Scorpius and didn't tell him the reason. He didn't want to lie but he didn't want to hurt Scorpius too.
Albus is doing his internship under Draco. Maybe he should try legilimency on Draco as well. He did it with dad and dad didn't even notice. Granted dad was asleep when Albus sneaked inside dad's mind and he is not an expert in occlumency. It's worth a try.
This in mind, Albus heads towards Draco's manor.
Another five minutes and Albus finds himself standing in front of the Malfoy Manor. It's fortunate that Scorpius is an auror trainee. Things would have been awkward if Scorpius was pursuing his internship under Draco too.
Rose is training under Draco and so is Teddy. There are a couple of others too. Albus is not on talking terms with them though. He spends half of his time staring at Draco anyways. The other half he spends brewing or taking notes from Rose.
The gate opens after Albus touches it with his wand. Albus walks inside. Draco is an expert legilimens. He is an unrelenting, intimidating, attractive older man and Albus is afraid that his eyes might let on the desperation he is feeling.
Quietly, he walks inside and heads straight towards the lab. Teddy and Rose are seated, their noses buried in some papers as they discuss something. Draco is leant against the window. He is waiting for Albus.
At thirty nine, Draco is a handsome man with a lean, athletic body. He has broad shoulders and a flat stomach and doesn't look a day over twenty five. Usually, he dresses in muggle clothes. Today he has put on a cream colored shirt and black jeans. No one feature makes him so striking. Although Albus would say that his eyes come close. They are silver and intoxicating and when they fall on Albus, he can't help but shiver under their scrutiny.
Stood at the entryway, Albus regards his graceful frame. He is a piece of art. Albus can stare at him for an entire lifetime. He has flawless skin and defined cheekbones. Albus wants to cup his cheeks and caress them and taste his full red lips and card his fingers through his soft blonde hair-
"Mr. Potter, how long do you plan to stand there and stare at me?" Comes a polite voice. Albus blinks and his cheeks feel warm as he glances into Draco's amused eyes. Draco is a charming man. However, he is also elusive and difficult. Albus doesn't know much about his private life but he has heard rumors about his flings. He has heard that Draco changes boyfriends like clothes. However, neither Witch weekly nor the Prophet are legit.
Teddy is chuckling and Rose is frowning at him. Rest are staring blankly.
"Sorry for being late." Albus murmurs and heads inside. He settles down beside Teddy.
"Where were you Albus?" Teddy asks.
"I'll tell you later." He answers and Draco begins his lecture.
Albus tunes him out and concentrates on his eyes. They are sharp and deep.
Then casts a non verbal legilimency spell and attempts to enter his mind. However, unlike the time he pried on dad's memories, he is met by a wall that throws him out. He learned legilimency from uncle Severus who had taught the art to Draco too.
Draco stops speaking suddenly and his sharp, narrowed eyes flicker over everyone. A bead of sweat gathers on Albus's forehead when they settle on him and blink twice.
A moment later, Draco starts speaking again. Albus tries once again and this time Draco doesn't stop speaking but Albus is thrown out yet again and his lips upturn in a smirk. Albus swallows. His heart starts beating rapidly and he tries to keep his eyes blank.
He needs Draco's memories. Now that he has seen a glimpse of Draco's younger self in dad's memories, he wants to know more about him. He wants to see more of him. So he blames his desperation for trying yet again. Of course, the wall throws him out but this time he feels someone enter his own mind. Draco's presence is gentle and soft and Albus's heart beats rapidly because Albus doesn't want Draco to leave. However, Albus can't have the blonde know about his true feelings. Draco has not stopped speaking and he is not even looking at Albus. Albus tries to push him out.
He applies all his strength yet the presence doesn't budge.
"Stay out." He hears a soft voice in his mind and answers as softly, "okay." The presence retreats and Albus is left sweating with a trembling frame.
A few moments later, Draco stops speaking and orders everyone to bring ingredients.
Albus stands up too but Draco's eyes stop him from moving. The man strides gracefully and slowly towards Albus.
"What was that about, Mr. Potter?" He asks in a very gentle voice but there is something hard beneath the softness. Instead of terrifying him, it makes him shiver all over and it makes him want to feel Draco's strong arms wrapped around his body.
"Mr. Potter." Draco says and Albus's eyes shoot at him. There is something in his voice that alarms Albus. He didn't see anything, did he? He couldn't have entered without letting Albus know. Maybe Albus is just very transparent because Draco's silver eyes are frozen on his face. They are unreadable and Albus can not understand them, no matter how much he wants to.
"I apologize." Albus simply replies. He wonders what dad would say if he knew about Albus's crush on this man. Will he dislike Albus even more or will he simply disown Albus. Albus thinks that dad will chose the latter.
"Go and get your ingredients." Draco says and Albus swallows silently before heading towards the closet. All the while he feels Draco eyes burn on his skull.
Five hours later find Albus back at his home. Dad is out of town and mom is at Uncle Ron's. James is out of town for a match and Lily is studying magical law so she must be in the library. Albus is alone and this is the right opportunity. He heads towards dad's secret room. It's hidden. Albus knows about it because he stumbled upon it a while back. Dad had forgotten to hide it with their family photoframe.
Albus shifts the photo towards left and unlocks the door with a simple alohomora. He enters inside. The room is untouched and dust has settled on the furniture. It seems that dad hasn't cleaned it for a long time. The memories are arranged date wise on the shelves. There are a very few vials and other than the memories, there are some ancient tomes that dad must have wanted to keep away from Albus and his siblings. He picks up the memory of the day following the night dad caught Draco red-handed.
He wonders what it was like to study with a younger version of Draco Malfoy. He really wants to experience it, as impossible and insane as it sounds. The vial is marked as '19th July 1997- Obliviate'. Albus pours the contents in the pensieve with a sigh and inserts his head inside the silver memories.
