The Last Straw

When Lucius woke late the next morning his arms wandered over to the other side of the bed only to find and empty space. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and sat up. ‘Did he leave without saying goodbye?’ the blond wondered as he pulled on his robes.

As he stepped out into the hall he heard soft singing coming from the nursery. He peeked inside the room and found James seated in the rocking chair in the corner with young Harry in his lap. Lucius stood silent and listened to James sing to his son. “You’re a good singer,” he commented when James was finished.

James shrugged a little. “Lily teases me about being a little off key.

“Nonsense. You sing like an angel.”

The dark haired wizard rolled his eyes and chuckled a little. “Minerva used to tell me that all the time when I was a kid. She used to tell me I should join a chorus.”

“You should have,” Lucius nodded as he made his way over toward James.

“Nah,” James shook his head. “The chorus wasn’t for me. I was more into causing trouble and playing quiddich.”

Lucius chuckled as he pulled up a chair and sat down. “And you were well known for it.”

“And you were well known for being a cold hearted bastard.”

Lucius sighed sadly and lowered his gaze to the floor. “Yes, my entire family is well known for that. Some days I wish I hadn’t been born a Malfoy.”

“So why don’t you break free from it? Why is it that I’m the only one that gets to see your good side?”

Lucius looked down at his lap and shrugged. “I guess you just have a way of getting under my skin. There’s just something about you that I can’t explain. I wish I knew how you do it.”

James couldn’t help but giggle. “I seem to be very good at it,” he mused.

“Indeed,” the blonde nodded. “Look at Severus. I’ve never seen him open up to anyone like he does with you. Not even me, and I’ve been his best friend since our first year at school.”

James shrugged and sighed softly. “I wasn’t even trying with him. I guess it helped that we ended up sharing a secret. I think he saw something in me he liked.”

Lucius leaned in a little closer. “Would you mind sharing that secret with me?”

The dark haired wizard shook his head. “I think not. The fewer people that know the gory details the better.”

Lucius nodded and leaned back in his chair. “Alright then.”

“I’m sorry Lucy,” James put a hand on his. “It’s just very complicated. I’ll spill my guts to you if and when I’m ready. To change the subject, you’ll never guess what Lily and I talked about the other night.”

“What?” Lucius asked raising an eyebrow.

“Well, remember how I told you that she likes watching me with other men?”

“Yes, I remember,” Lucius nodded, becoming more intrigued by the second. “I found it rather interesting. I still can’t believe that Sirius doesn’t mind being watched.”

“But you’re not surprised I like being watched?” James replied, getting a little defensive.

Lucius shrugged. “Well, you are very… what’s the word. You like to go over to the wild side.”

James sighed and chuckled softly. “I guess I can’t argue with you there. Anyway, she was saying the other day that she wants to watch me in a three way.”

“Did she say who she wanted to watch you with?” the blonde asked, trying to contain his surprise.

“Well, she said she’d like to see me with you and Sirius.”

Lucius’ eyes went wide. “She really said that?”

The dark haired wizard nodded. “Believe me; I was as shocked as you are now.”

Lucius bit his lip and sighed deeply. “Does she realize that that friend of yours hates my guts. It would be nearly impossible to get us in the same room, let alone the same bed to share you. We’d have better luck getting Severus to do it with us.”

James nodded in agreement. “It would be more interesting too.”

It was then that Draco woke and started to cry. Lucius started to get up and pick up his son when James stopped him. “I know how to fix this,” he smiled.

Lucius watched as James got up and laid Harry back in the playpen with Draco. The young Malfoy wasted no time and wrapping his arms around his new friend and going back to sleep. The blonde sat for a moment and watched the babies in amazement. “How did you know to do that?”

James just shrugged. “Draco has been like that since I woke up. I think he likes Harry.”

“I think so too,” the elder Malfoy smiled. “And I’m glad of it. I have an idea. Let’s let the babies sleep some more while we go have some breakfast. I’m sure you have to leave soon.”

“Yeah, I’m surprised Lily hasn’t shown up at your front door looking for her baby,” James mused.

The two continued to talk as they left the room and headed for the kitchen. Harry and Draco remained cuddled close together as they slept; blissfully unaware of anything that was going on in the world outside of the nursery.

As soon as the front door opened in the Potter house Lily leapt to her feet and rushed to meet her husband, snatching her son and cuddling him close. “Don’t ever take him from me again!” she cried.

James shook his head and chuckled as he kissed his wife on the cheek. It was then that he noticed the visitor. “Hello Ivar,” he smiled warmly. “What brings you here?”

The elf rose from his seat and bowed his head graciously. “Hello James. Did you really think I wouldn’t come to see my great grandson?”

James shrugged as he hung his cloak up in the closet. “I don’t know. I guess I just figured that you would ask us to bring him to you.”

The elf shook his head and chuckled. “No, I decided to make the trip for a change.” He moved over to where Lily stood. “Lily dear, I know you haven’t seen your baby, but could I hold him for a bit?”

She nodded and reluctantly handed Harry over to the elf. A wide smile appeared on the elf’s face as he gazed down into the face of the next generation. “He’s beautiful.”

“Thank you,” Lily beamed with pride as she took a seat on the couch. “I know we planned on waiting to have children, but I don’t regret it for a second.”

“As you shouldn’t,” Ivar commented as he sat himself down beside Lily. “I’m sure you will love this child as I love all my children.”

It was then that an owl landed in the window with an official looking letter attached to its leg. “I’ll get it,” James said as he went over to the window and took the letter. The owl flew off right away without waiting for a response.

“What is it?” Lily asked, feeling a large knot tightening in the pit of her stomach.

James stood silent as he carefully read over each word. “Sweetheart, what is it?” Lily asked again, becoming more afraid by the second.

By the time James finished reading his whole body was shaking with rage. Both Ivar and Lily sat in silence and watched him; waiting for the explosion they both knew would come.

What happened next was something nobody could have predicted. Instead of an explosion of anger, there was a brilliant flash of purple light that filled the room for a brief second. The letter in James’ hand dropped top the floor as he calmly walked out the door, a soft purple light now radiating from his eyes.

Ivar looked over at Lily with a serious and extraordinarily calm expression. “The bonds of flesh have been broken,” he spoke in a soft flat tone.

Lily jumped to her feat and grabbed the letter on the floor. As she read her hand moved to her mouth to stifle her sob. “It’s from the Ministry,” she said as she lowered both hands to rest on her lap. “They’ve decided that because of past history James isn’t a fit parent. They’re going to take Harry because they’re afraid of having another out of control Potter running around loose.”

Once the shock wore off tears were streaming down the woman’s cheeks. “They can’t do this!” she cried out in anger and frustration. “They can’t take my baby!”

Ivar wrapped his slender arm around her and pulled her to his chest. “Don’t worry Lily, it will be all right,” he comforted her as he stared thoughtfully out the window. “Because on this day the Ministry has not only incurred upon itself the wrath of a father, but of fallen god as well.”

A/N: Hey, I actually managed to update in a decent amount of time. I hope everyone is still enjoying it. Things are getting interesting.
