“Severus, has Draco left yet?”

“Hello to you as well, Lucius,” This is not time for pleasantries, but I will take a moment to humor the man, but only a moment.

“Hello, Severus. Is Draco there?”

“No, he left just seconds ago. I think he was intending to visit Ms. Parkinson before returning home,” This isn’t a huge surprise, he often spends time with her. He couldn’t have picked a better day for a visit.

“Would you like to come through, Lucius? I have a feeling this will not be a short conversation,” I have told him my suspicions concerning Draco and Harry’s relationship, and he was aware of what I intended to do today.

“I would rather not leave the Manor at this time, but if you’d like to step through, you are welcome to do so,” He nods and I step back to give him room. Once he has dusted himself off, I offer him a drink.

“I’m assuming I’m going to need it. Well, were you able to get him to talk?”

“Yes, and that is why I needed to speak with you. Draco will no longer be residing here,” I hand him his drink and motion for him to sit.

“I see, is he aware of this turn of events?” Naming Severus as Draco’s Godfather was probably one of the wisest moves I’ve ever made. He has gone above and beyond to care for my son and I have no doubt that he will now as well. Even though I am not pleased with Draco at the moment - and that is stating it lightly - he is still my son and I love him.

“He is not. I was content to let him fend for himself, but Harry was concerned for his welfare. I must ask if you will be willing to offer him shelter should he seek it tonight,” I know I need not even ask, but I want to put Harry’s fears to rest.

“Of course, Lucius, how bad is it?” It’s no secret that there’s no love lost between my oldest friend and Harry, but the man isn’t heartless.

“Worse than I had imagined, Severus. The boy is covered with cuts and teeth marks,” I will not tell him any specifics unless Harry gives me permission, or Draco sees fit to confess his transgressions, “Harry has been under the effects of a curse for some time now. He says that is the only reason he has allowed Draco’s abysmal behavior to continue.”

“Do you believe him? Or, is it possible that his wounds extend deeper than he will admit?”

“He seems to be handling it fairly well emotionally, though only time will tell,” He is silent for a few moments before asking a question I had hoped I wouldn’t have to answer.

“Was Draco engaging in the use of illegal curses?” Yes, but not the one of which Severus is thinking.

“He wasn’t using unforgivables.”

“That was not what I asked, Lucius.”

“I am aware of that, Severus,” I give him a meaningful look before continuing with a lighter topic we need to discuss, “It seems I find myself in need of a stronger healing salve. Do you have some on hand?” He already knows what I have in my stores, since it came from him to begin with.

“I always have healing medicines, but I’ll be able to create one specifically for his injuries if I’m allowed to examine him. It will probably cut his recuperation time in half. Can I assume you will be needing something for the scarring as well?”

“Yes, but I would prefer to consult Harry before agreeing to allow you to examine him,” I think he will be agreeable, but it has been far too long since he has been able to make his own decisions.

“Of course, I expected no less. Will you be informing Draco of the reasons he has been banned from the Manor? I suppose you have altered your wards?”

“I will not see Draco today, I cannot. The wards have been adjusted and I will send a house elf out to greet him upon his arrival this afternoon. He will be educated on the reasons for his exile and of where he may seek shelter. That is all I can afford him just now. If Harry consents to let you see him tomorrow without my presence, I shall speak with Draco then,” It is not a conversation I am looking forward to, but it must be done.

“Lucius, I understand the compulsion to step in, but why are you harboring Harry and turning your son away? Surely Draco is deserving of your consideration as well,” Though his words upset me, I find myself grateful, once again, that this man cares so much. Draco will be cared for and he will have someone to turn to in my absence.

“I know you don’t understand, but trust me, this is for the best. If you knew the things I do, you might be more inclined to agree with my decision. Please, save your judgments until after you have seen and spoken with Harry.”

“I trust you, Lucius, but I can’t help but be curious. It seems there is more here than meets the eye,” He’s studying me carefully and I strengthen the shields on my mind just a little more. If I reveal any of my true feelings for the boy, Severus will think me absolutely wicked. I do love Harry, but I’m not blinded by that. I want him safe and happy more than I want him to be mine. I withstand his scrutiny, maybe not long enough for him to believe he is wrong, but long enough for him to realize I will not be spilling my innermost secrets.

“Very well, I have something for his scars on hand, and I will begin preparing the base for a healing salve and a pain potion tonight. After I see Harry tomorrow, all I’ll need to do is add a few last ingredients. I should be able to have both ready for him by tomorrow night. What time shall I expect you to hear from you?”

“I will call on you sometime before lunch if that is acceptable.”

“Yes, I’ll be waiting. I will tend to Draco tonight, as I’m sure he will not be in the best of moods. I must be going, I do not know how long he planned on visiting, and I do not wish to be here when he arrives,” He steps into the fireplace and gives me a sad smile before flooing home.

“Lucius?” I didn’t realize he had entered the room.

“Harry, I thought you were resting?”

“I know you said I should, but I didn’t much feel like it. I’d really rather not be alone right now. I’ve spent so much time alone the past few years, that I’d rather take advantage of the fact that I don’t have to anymore. If that’s ok?” I’d love nothing more than to be in his company at all times.

“That’s fine, desirable even. I didn’t mean to suggest you nap if you did not wish to, I had just assumed you’d be tired.”

“Lucius, I want to be honest with you, I heard most of your conversation with Snape,” He glances at me briefly before averting his eyes. I have a gut twisting hunch that he’s waiting to be reprimanded for eavesdropping. I have no intention of doing so, I would have listened if I were in his position.

“Good, then I will not have to fill you in on the details. Are you amenable to Severus visiting with you tomorrow? He will need to see your wounds. He will also likely ask many questions that you may not wish to answer. If that is the case, I’d like you to know that, though he is my friend and this is my house, you are under no obligation to respond. Do you understand?”

“Yes, and I will answer anything he asks of me. I kind of agree that it should be Draco here instead of me, but I will do anything I can to keep him from thinking you have abandoned your son. I… Lucius, I just want you to know that I’m very grateful to you. I’m not sure how much longer I would have lasted… Well, I mean, I just needed someone to… I was at the end of my rope and…” He’s scaring me. The thought that he might have taken drastic measures to free himself from my son is too much. I don’t even want to consider what course of action he might have taken.

“It’s ok, Harry. Even heroes need to be rescued from time to time. Besides, you’ve saved me enough that is was time to return the favor,” He grins at me much like he used to on a daily basis. It’s only been a few hours and he’s already starting to piece together the ‘Harry’ he’d once been. I’m starting to hope that he isn’t broken beyond repair.

“Yep, that’s me, just your average knight in shining armor. What’s for dinner?” I’m relieved to be moving to a less heavy topic.

“Ah, I’m not sure. Why don’t you sneak into the kitchen and find out? I have something I must attend to, but I’ll only be a moment,” His eyes darken slightly but he doesn’t protest.

“Sure, I’ll…uh, see you in the dinning room?”

“Absolutely,” I sound more relaxed than I am.

I wait for the door to close before I call for the house elf least likely to be affected by the tantrum Draco will throw.

“Pippi!” She answers my call immediately.

“Yes, Master? You be having need of Pippi’s assistance?”

“Yes, I’d like for you to go to Draco’s rooms and collect anything he will need for a few days away from the Manor,” I’ll send everything else to him in the next couple days.

“Once you have completed that task, you are to wait for him outside the wards at the front of the Manor. I’m sure, by now, you’ve noticed that they have been changed to refuse him entry,” She nods vigorously, house elves are always fully in tune with the house in which they serve.

“He will not be happy, but that is to be expected. You will deliver a message for me as well as the bag you pack for him, and then return quickly. You are not to allow him to harm you and you are not to follow any orders from him. Is that perfectly clear?”

“Yes, Master. Pippi is understanding Master perfectly. Master Draco be treating Master Harry poorly,” Her eyes are wide and I think I detect a tiny bit of relief in them.

“Pippi, how long have you known?”

“Master, Pippi be knowing everything that happens within the walls of Master’s home. Pippi is a good elf, sir. Pippi be taking care of Master Harry when Master Draco is away. Pippi is full of remorse that she did not tell Master. Master Harry asked Pippi not to. Pippi is very sorry, sir,” Though she is the least anxious of the elves I own, she is wringing her hands nervously.

“You will not be punished, Pippi, and I do not wish you to punish yourself. Though Harry is not Master of this home, he has been part of our family for some time now. I would not wish for you to disobey his orders. In the future, however, I do instruct you to inform me of anything that could be harmful to him. Understood?”

“Yes, Master. Master is being most generous and forgiving. Pippi will do as Master has instructed,” She doesn’t throw herself at my feet, but I can see her shaking with restraint.

“Very good. You are to tell Draco that I am fully aware of the nature of his relationship with Harry. You are to inform him that relationship is over. Let him know that Severus has offered his spare room and that I will be in contact with him in the morning. That is all, Pippi. Return to me once you have spoken with Draco,” I will need to make sure that she is ok. Though I don’t think Draco would harm her, I’m starting to realize that I don’t know my son as well as I’d once thought.
