Last Time:
After all, the ministry and Gringotts had many things going on in the background …
XXXXXXXXXX
Lucius took a deep breath and tried to look completely indifferent as he walked through his family’s manor. Every step made him more and more nervous, but he refused to show it. By the time he got to the library his heart was pounding in his chest.
For a brief moment the Malfoy heir froze when he heard his father’s voice. Once he realized it was an echo and his father wasn’t anywhere close he stepped into the library. As he proceeded to the back he pulled out his wand and scanned the area. The last thing he needed right now was to be caught. Thankfully, no one was in the room so he went behind the back bookcase.
Recently Voldemort has taken over even more of the manor. Without question Lucius’ father removed everything from the office so Voldemort could have it. Of course, everything was moved back here including the book in question. His father made a makeshift office for himself in the library and in order to properly protect the book it was placed near the desk.
“Hurry up.” Lucius muttered to himself under his breath as he tried to force his body to locate the book faster.
Finally, his silver eyes landed on the book the dark lord entrusted to his father. It was almost odd how innocent it looked on the shelves tucked between other books. However, Lucius didn’t let that slow him down. He swiftly reached into his robes and pulled out the item Gringotts sent. That item was an exact copy of the book from Lucius’ memory.
With great care and a rapidly beating heart he pressed the goblins’ copy against the spine of Voldemort’s treasure as if he was simply trying to slide that book into that spot on the shelf. You’d think that would’ve failed since there was a book there already. However, once the books touched some runes on the book in the Malfoy’s hand glowed. In an instant Voldemort’s book disappeared allowing the Gringotts replica to slide into its place.
Lucius sighed in relief. The switch was completed and his job was done. As he walked calmly out of the library his heart slowed down to a more relaxed pace. It didn’t last though. The second he left he spotted a rat crawling around and he tensed.
It was the exact same rat he has seen many times in the last few weeks. At this point there was no doubt in Lucius’ mind that this creature was a lookout or guard for Voldemort. After all, nothing near the dark wizard lives long unless it has a use. Thankfully, the rat went by without giving him even a glance.
For now he was safe to return to his medical training, which he did happily. It was these moments along with meeting up with Severus that made the summer bearable. Learning that the dark lord’s book did have a horcrux and that it was now in the goblins’ hands made him feel much better. Apparently, Gringotts even learned more information than they expected, but it got even better. In fact, after a few weeks he had his chance to get away from his father and Voldemort completely.
Lucius woke up one morning and eagerly packed everything he’d need for Hogwarts, “Just like school, but better.” He muttered to himself and smiled as he looked at his palm.
It was the palm with the blue St. Mungo’s mark, which has changed ever so slightly from when he first received it. Around the mark was another ring. Sprouting off the new ring were 4 little leaves and he was very proud of that. After all, those changes meant he could go to Hogwarts and get away. With everything packed, shrunken so it could fit in his pocket and his St. Mungo’s robes on he was gone before his father had a chance to wake up.
“It’s good to see you, Lucius.” Nicholas said once he saw the young Malfoy step out of their floo. “Did you have any trouble leaving?” The elderly wizard asked as he handed Lucius a cup of tea.
Lucius accepted the cup holding the steamy beverage, “No, thank Merlin. With the help of a rune I hid under his bed I left before my father even woke up.”
“A relief for sure.” Nicholas said, sincerely happy that neither the abusive Lord Malfoy or the dark wizard managed to hurt the young wizard. “It’ll be a few more hours until it’s time to get to the train so feel free to pick a guest room to sleep in.” He offered as Sebastian came into the room.
“I probably should.” Lucius said as he sipped on the calming tea and wondered if going back to sleep now would be worth it.
Sebastian scoffed, “You might want to be fully awake on the train to keep Potter away from Severus.”
Lucius almost choked on his tea when he chuckled at that comment while drinking, “How did … it go from … protecting him against bullies to protecting him against flirting?”
Over the last few weeks Lucius has met Severus a few times. On a couple of those times James was around since the meetups happened at the new werewolf sanctuary. Despite everyone being there to help set some of the plans up, the Malfoy noticed how shy James was. He immediately knew that the Potter was crushing on Severus. The crush was so strong that Lucius actually believed that James was going to faint when Severus graded his essay and offered advice on small corrections. It was even worse when James made the corrections and Severus congratulated him. Despite staying on his feet Lucius was positive that the Potter blacked out for a second from the intensity of his blush.
Granted, Severus seemed to notice the strange behavior, but it didn’t click in his mind that someone was crushing on him. Of course, Lucius wasn’t surprised by any means. Who would realize that their long time bully suddenly had feelings for them? Considering Severus’ upbringing he doubted love would ever just cross his mind as a possibility. However, Severus is smart and he’ll figure it out eventually. Doesn’t mean Lucius can’t make things difficult for James.
Nicholas chuckled, “Euphemia and Fleamont think James was confused. As long as Severus isn’t worried then there’s no problem.” He said, but then he gave Lucius a look. “If he’s flustered at all …”
“I’ll make sure Potter knows when it’s too much … painfully if necessary.” Lucius answered knowing exactly what the grandparents wanted and he was happy to put anyone in their place if they hurt Severus. Now that he was a healer, intern or not, he couldn’t be punished for protecting his charge.
Sebastian smiled, “if there’s any trouble don’t hesitate to contact us.”
Lucius nodded with a smirk, “Immediately. I am Severus’ personal healer, after all.” The young wizard said and sipped his tea.
After finishing his tea Lucius did go take a quick nap. With the help from the Gringotts mark removing the potions his father always forced to take he could take basic Pepper-up potions again. After all, it was the potions to shut him up that reacted badly with Pepper-up potions, which kept him from staying up to help Severus brew. However, he had a feeling Severus will want to sneak out at night despite being sick so he may as well sleep while he can. He refused to let his friend to brew alone again.
Nicholas gently woke Lucius up hours later and then went to wake Severus, “It’s time to get up.” He said while gently shaking his grandson.
Severus easily woke up and looked at the clock, “It’s really close. The train will arrive any minute.”
“Yes, but you needed all the sleep possible.” Nicholas said as he kept Severus from falling over as he got out of bed. “Just because the train arrives soon doesn’t mean it leaves soon. There’s plenty of time for a shower and getting dressed. Lucius is getting your breakfast ready for you.” He explained as he helped Severus to the bathroom.
Lucius poked his head into the bedroom and grinned, “Chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast.” He exclaimed just as Severus went into the bathroom. The Prince heir seemed excited by that breakfast and quickly shut the door. “Is he steady enough to be in there alone?” He asked as Nicholas got Severus’ school uniform ready. After all, he was worried about the younger Slytherin slipping and getting hurt.
“All the bathrooms have excellent safety charms. Sebastian and I had to add them when we realized that we’re getting old.” Nicholas said with a chuckle.
“Oh.” Lucius commented while trying to not chuckle.
The prepared uniform was levitated into the same bathroom Severus was in. Of course, they waited to do that after the shower started running. With the running water Severus probably wouldn’t notice it until he finished and then he could change in private. Afterwards everything Severus would need was given to Lucius in a conveniently shrunken, and brand new, trunk. An owl in the cage was handed over too, but obviously it couldn’t be shrunken like everything else. The plan was to eat on the train so once Severus was ready his grandfathers and Lucius flooed him to the train station.
“Send letters whenever you can. I love you, Severus.” Sebastian said as he hugged Severus.
Nicholas hugged his grandson next, “I’ll miss you. I love you so much.”
“I’ll miss you too. I love you.” Severus said sincerely. He never had a loving farewell before school and it meant so much. A few tears had to be wiped away before being escorted by Lucius onto the crowded train.
“Severus!” The two Slytherins immediately spotted James and Remus pushing their way to them. “We saved a compartment if you want.” James shyly suggested, completely oblivious to the shocked students around him, who had no clue what happened over the summer break.
Remus chuckled, “We got here early and grabbed the closest one right there.” He exclaimed as he pointed to the door nearby that Sirius and Regulus were waving out of.
“We should.” Lucius whispered to Severus wanting to get Severus out of the crowd right away even if it meant sharing a space with Potter. Just because the guy was too shy to outright flirt doesn’t make this any less weird. “Are you staying here, Regulus?” The Malfoy heir asked, feeling a little confused as he helped Severus inside. After all, there might not be enough room with himself, Severus, James, Sirius and Remus. Of course, if Regulus wanted to stay he considered making room by dangling James out the window.
Regulus shook his head as he hugged Severus and Lucius, “Our mother would be furious if I waved from the same compartment as Sirius. I just came to say hi and make sure you guys didn’t have any trouble getting on or with Lily. Thankfully, I haven’t seen her.” He said as he helped Severus sit down.
“Gill mentioned that Lily shouldn’t be a problem … I just don’t know why.” Remus pondered out loud as Lucius tucked the caged owl onto the luggage rack..
Sirius raised an eyebrow, “I know it was a full moon a couple days ago so he’d be tired, but he didn’t explain?” He asked, referring to the second full moon he had before school started. Remus was so happy about it!
Despite Gill and Amber’s watch over Lyall being long since done, Gill made a point to be there for Remus during the last full moon before school started. With arrangements made with a healer and getting to use see Remus’ personal trunk the second full moon Lyall witnessed went even better than the first. Both Lyall and Gill promised to see him every full moon.
Remus shrugged, “He was too busy snickering evilly and I meant only a few minutes ago. He came to see me off … and my father.” He chuckled and pointed out the window where their families had gathered. The Auror was smiling right next to Lyall.
James chuckled, “He’s got it bad for your dad. I think he’s blushing .” He said, but noticed everyone, except Severus, was giving him a weird look. “What?” He asked innocently.
Lucius’ eyes narrowed, “You’re not allowed to tease anyone about blushing.” He remarked sharply. Almost immediately after James made eye contact with Severus for a split second. He promptly blushed and sat down quietly.
“Crap!” Regulus yelped and quickly ducked out of sight when he heard his mother’s squawking through the crowd. “I’ll see you guys later!” He muttered and snuck out to get back to his compartment.
XXXXXXXXXX
Euphemia smiled as she spotted the eldest members of the Prince family, “Honey! This way!” She exclaimed and immediately started dragging her husband through the crowd. “Did Severus get on ok?” She asked as she hugged the two grandfathers.
“Yes he did. Did James and Sirius get on ok?” Nicholas asked knowing that Remus was now staying with his father again so he didn’t ask.
Fleamont chuckled, “Of course. James dragged Sirius on immediately so they could get the closest compartment for Severus. I definitely saw Remus on there too.” He said making the adults give amused smiles. However, he spotted someone in the crowd. “Lyall?”
Sure enough an ashamed looking Lyall came up to the family with a blue haired Auror behind him, “I wanted to say I’m sorry-“
Euphemia cut him off with a hug, “You thanked and apologized in three letters already. Don’t worry about it. Especially about thanking us for taking care of Remus. He’s a sweetheart and is always welcome.”
Sebastian nodded, “We can tell you truly care for your son and your mind has cleared.”
“I won’t make a mistake like that again.” Lyall said sincerely before turning to the Auror behind him. “This is Gill.” He said and the members of the Prince and Potter families immediately looked at Gill with interest
Nicholas frowned, “You’re the one keeping tabs on Lily, right? Is she here?” He suddenly worried about his grandson just like how the Potters and Lyall were worried about their kids.
Gill smirked, “Don’t worry. I handled everything before the train even got here.” He said and explained. They were so intrigued by the conversation they were able to ignore the harsh yells from Lady Black, who was demanding everyone move so she could get up close to wave to her son.
XXXXXXXXXX
Lily tapped her foot impatiently on the sidewalk, “We need to leave or I’ll miss the train! Where’s my trunk?!” She snapped as she ran back into the house where she found her parents and older sister eating breakfast. “Dad!” She yelled when she noticed her owl and trunk were nowhere to be seen and no one was going to get them. It was bad enough that Gringotts slapped the creepy hand like device on her ankle, but on top of that they took her wand and refused to return it until school started. She wanted her life back!
“You don’t have to yell.” Rose chastised lightly and noticed the syrup was low. “I should add that to the list.” She commented calmly much to her youngest daughter’s annoyance.
Eric munched on his pancakes as he smiled at Lily, “Don’t worry, Lily. We already gave your things over. He should be back soon to pick you up.”
“He?” A baffled Lily asked.
A knock at the door made Petunia stand up, “I’ll get it.” She said and rolled her eyes as Lily sent her a glare for ignoring her. “He’s back!” She announced, sounding very pleased.
Lily turned and saw the same Auror that got her in trouble, “You!”
“Yep! You didn’t think I forgot about the train, did you?” Gill exclaimed with a cheerful smile. “Can’t risk having your monitor go off on the train so follow me! I’m taking you to school today!” He said cheerfully and offered her his hand.
“Fine.” Lily grumbled and ignored her family’s calls of goodbye and ‘I love you’s as she tried to sassily push her way past the Auror. However, there was a powerful pull on her wrist once she got too close and her wrist was pulled into Gill’s gloved hand. “Let go!” She snapped and tried to pull her wrist free.
“My gloves are charmed.” Gill said and technically let go of the witch.
Even without the fingers holding her she couldn’t detach herself from the glove. The werewolf knew he could easily drag her along with only his strength. However, she might try to claim that he hurt her by doing that so he used this safer method. At least, that was one of the reasons for this tactic. The other was to get answers.
“Let’s go! Bye!” Gill exclaimed cheerfully to the muggle family before walking down the sidewalk with Lily sulking next to him.
Petunia sighed, “At least we got a pleasant goodbye from someone.” She muttered before joining her parents for the end of a pleasant breakfast …
