Chapter Summary:
Harry finally sees his new home.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, Lucius and Harry reached the apparition point. The blonde man took a tight hold of his Pet’s arm and turned on the spot. With a crack, they disappeared.
When they reappeared, they were in front of a large, wrought iron gate. Lucius waved his wand and the gate opened with a soft creak. The pair walked up the gravel path together as the sun slowly sank toward the horizon.
Harry glanced around, noting the large hedges on either side of them and a medium sized fountain farther down the path. A sudden soft squawk split the stillness of the evening and had him starting.
“W-what was that?” The small Pet stuttered and increased his speed to be closer to his owner.
Lucius smiled kindly down at his Pet who was now beside him. “It was a peacock. I have several of them that roam the grounds.” He replied with a slight chuckle.
“Oh, really, w-why?” Harry asked out of nothing more than genuine curiosity.
The blonde man shrugged nonchalantly. “I like them.” He replied simply, then added, “I know they’re a bit ostentatious and I suppose I do have a habit of showing off…”
“A bit ostentatious?” The boy asked with a raised brow. He amended with, “M-master?”
“All right.” Lucius conceded. “So I vastly enjoy waving my wealth in other people’s faces. It’s not a crime.”
Harry gave his master a small smile as they walked around the fountain. “It’s ok.”
“And here we are. Home sweet home.” Lucius said as they reached a large, ornate, wooden door. It opened on its own, allowing its master entrance to the abode. “After you.” He motioned for the boy to walk ahead of him.
Harry stepped inside and lights immediately flared to life, revealing a small entrance hall. The left side of the room contained a fireplace while the right side of the room held a long side table and a coat rack. Upon the table was a lovely ceramic vase that contained a single white rose.
Lucius followed his Pet inside and the door shut behind him. He removed his leather gloves and placed them on the table before emptying his pockets of his coin pouch, the rest of the Pet tags, and the certificate of ownership. These items were discarded next to the gloves.
“A house-elf will take care of them.” He stated as he took off his outer robe and hung it on the coat rack. Beneath his robes, Lucius was wearing a pair of black slacks and a silvery button down. “Dobby!” He suddenly called.
Instantly, a tiny creature dressed in a pillowcase appeared at their feet. “Yes, Master Malfoy?” He squeaked.
“Please get dinner ready.” He commanded of the house-elf.
“Of course, sir.” Dobby said with a sweeping bow. “Is there anything in particular you will be wanting?”
Lucius shook his head and turned to face his Pet. “Is there anything you want?” He asked.
Harry took a moment to think. “Chicken?” He asked cautiously.
The blonde man smiled. “Dobby, we’d like chicken for dinner.”
“Yes, sirs.” Dobby said before disappearing with a pop.
“I’ve never been called ‘sir’ before.” Harry noted as he followed his master into the hallway. “It’s weird.”
“Was that your first time seeing a house-elf?” Lucius asked as they walked.
“Yeah. We had to cook and clean for ourselves at The Shoppe.” The Pet explained. “So, no servants.”
Lucius hummed curiously.
“It’s our job to take care of our masters.” Harry added as they came to a grand staircase.
“I see.”
Harry took in his surroundings. “This is a big house.” He noted as he looked back down the long hallway they’d come from. “And fancy.”
“Of course, it’s a mansion.” Lucius said almost smugly. “Now, what would you like to see first while we wait for dinner?”
“Do-do I get… my own room?” Harry stuttered.
Lucius gestured toward the second floor. “I’m guessing you had to share before?” He asked as they ascended the stairs.
The dark-haired boy nodded and said, “Yes, master.”
At the top of the staircase, Lucius paused for a moment. “When we’re home alone, I’d actually prefer you to call me ‘Lucius’.” He ordered of his Pet.
Harry was taken aback. This was uncharted territory for him. It had been engrained into him pretty much since birth that one always refer to one’s owner as master or a similar title.
“Yes, mas- L-Lucius.” He stammered. The wizard smiled down at his nervous Pet before continuing with the tour.
“That…” Lucius pointed to the hallway on the right. “…is the guest wing. I’d prefer if you stayed out of it. And this…” He pointed down the hall on the left as he headed in that direction. “…is the familial wing.”
The pair walked down the hall until they came to a set of double doors. “This is my room.” He indicated and swung the doors open with little effort.
It was a lovely room. Everything, from the queen-sized bedframe on one side, to the large dresser on the other, seemed to be made of hand-carved wood that was stained nearly black. The duvet on the bed was black, but still appeared soft and inviting. The back wall was taken up mostly by a large, wide window, allowing the viewer a full view of the grounds beyond.
There was still enough light from the setting sun to see a bookcase in one corner filled with many different colored tomes and random decorative trinkets.
On one side of the dresser, a body length mirror caught Harry’s eye. He stepped in front of it and looked at his reflection since he first put on the robes his master picked out for him. He noted how brightly his eyes appeared to shine and pushed his fringe away for a better look.
“Wait…” Lucius suddenly grabbed Harry’s hand and moved it away from his face. “What was that?” His own long, pale fingers came up to push back his Pet’s hair. There in the center of his forehead, was a small, thin scar in the shape of a lightning bolt.
Harry suddenly jerked away from his master’s touch and smoothed down the front of his hair. “I-it’s why no-no one wanted me.” He mumbled, turning away from Lucius in shame.
“Because you have a scar?” Lucius questioned incredulously.
The dark-haired boy chanced a glance up at his owner to see that he wasn’t angry, only concerned. “Scars are ugly.” He muttered just barely loud enough for Lucius to catch.
Lucius stepped in front of his Pet and forcefully lifted his chin. Silvery-grey met tear-filled jade. “Scars are not ugly.” He stated matter-of-factly. “It means you have a story to tell. Why don’t you tell me what happened?”
“I-I was just a baby.” Harry started as Lucius released his face. “So, I d-don’t actually remember what happened, just what I was told by adults later.”
“That’s okay. Tell me.” The older wizard insisted.
“M-my parents an-and I, we were attacked. They never even caught the person who did it. Just that it was a robbery gone bad. I-I survived and th-they didn’t. I was left with this.” He gestured to his forehead. “That’s how I ended up as a Pet. I was orphaned. Most Pets are orphans.” He finished sullenly.
Words of comfort escaping him, Lucius gently wrapped his young Pet in a loose hug. Harry didn’t react.
“I happen to think you’re beautiful.” He murmured sometime later.
Harry looked up from the fabric his face was pressed against. “R-really?” He stammered.
Lucius smiled warmly. “Of course, that’s why I chose you.”
“I’ve never been called that before.” Harry stated and shyly wrapped his arms around his master’s middle, burying his face against his chest once more.
The blonde man held his Pet for as long as the boy required. When they finally pulled apart, Lucius looked down to see two damp spots on his shirt, indicating Harry had been silently crying.
“I’m sorry.” The Pet said as he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.
Lucius smiled again. “It’s quite alright. We should continue.”
Harry nodded his agreement. “First though, I need… I need to use the bathroom.”
“Ah, right here.” The wizard walked over to a nearby door and opened it, revealing a lovely white marble bathroom.
Five minutes later and the pair were back in the hallway.
They headed a little farther down the hall and Lucius pointed to another door. “This is my son’s room. You are not permitted to enter without his permission.” He explained.
There were only two doors left in the hallway now.
“You may choose from either of these rooms.” He motioned from one to the other as he spoke.
Harry opened one door and took a quick look inside. Then he crossed the hall and did the same on the other side. The rooms were almost identical, except for a few minor, decorative details. “This one.” He said and opened the door wider to the room on the same side of the hall as Lucius’.
Lucius followed his Pet into the darkening room and watched him as he looked around.
“Every bedroom has its own attached bathroom.” He explained and pointed to one of two doors on the left side wall. “And that one is a closet.”
Harry opened both doors as they were pointed out to him. The bathroom was quite similar to Lucius’ only smaller and the closet was completely empty as they had to wait for his wardrobe to be delivered later in the week.
“What do I wear while I wait for my clothes?” He asked curiously.
Lucius took a seat on the blue comforter covering the bed. “So you don’t plan to prance around naked?” He teased.
The dark-haired boy defiantly crossed his arms. “Not if I can help it.”
The blonde man smirked. “Good. I think I’d prefer you to be naked for my pleasure only. I don’t particularly fancy others seeing my Pet’s body.” He said with a leer.
Harry felt his cheeks heat up.
“Adorable. And to answer your question, I can have the house-elves bring some of my son’s old clothes to your room for you.” He answered his Pet’s earlier question.
Just then, a sharp crack rent the air. “Dinner is ready, Master Malfoy.” The little squeaking creature announced.
“Thank you, Dobby.” The man stated. “You may go.”
The small elf hesitated. “Who is this new master?” He asked politely.
“This is Harry. My new Pet.” Lucius quickly explained. “And this will be his room.”
“Welcome, Master Harry.” Dobby said with a small bow. He then disappeared.
“I suppose I should show you where the dining room is.” Lucius said as he stood up.
The pair walked in relative silence. Harry’s head turned this way and that, taking in the sight of his fancy, new home.
Finally they were in the hallway they had started in. Lucius paused outside of a shut door. “This is my study.” He began. “You can mostly find me in there when I’m home.”
“Okay.” Harry acknowledged.
They then approached a set of already open doors.
“And this is the dining room. We’ll take our meals here when we’re together, but you’ll eat in the kitchen when I’m not home.” He explained as they walked to the head of the table where two empty plates sat waiting for them.
Lucius took his seat at the end of the table and motioned for Harry to sit in the chair on his left.
All of a sudden, Dobby popped into the room. He snapped his fingers and serving trays of food appeared on the table before them, including, but not limited to, mashed potatoes, gravy, carrots, and an entire roasted chicken.
“Wow, that looks delicious!” The boy exclaimed.
“As it should.” Lucius stated as he began serving himself.
Harry was taken aback when, a few moments later, his master filled his plate for him.
“Thank you, ma… Lucius.” He said shyly.
Lucius nodded slightly. “I just want you to feel welcome here.” He said as he poured himself a glass of white wine from a crystal decanter. “Would you like some?” He offered.
Harry thought for a moment before nodding. He picked up his glass after his master had filled it and took a sip. It was dry and he grimaced.
“I think I’ll stick to pumpkin juice.” He said with a sour expression.
By the time they were done eating, Harry was decidedly tired. It had, after all, been an exciting day for him.
Lucius wiped his mouth on his napkin one last time and said, “I think it’s time to retire for the night. Otherwise, you might fall asleep in your dessert.”
The green-eyed boy yawned widely. “Yeah. Probably.” He agreed.
The blonde man escorted his Pet to his room once more.
“If you need anything, feel free to call for Dobby.” He told the boy as they climbed the stairs. “And if you happen to need me, you know where I’ll be.”
~!~
A few hours later, Lucius was stirred awake by the feeling of someone watching him. He grabbed his wand off his nightstand and quickly muttered, “lumos.” He started when he saw a very naked Harry standing there at his bedside.
“Do not do that again, Pet.” The man chided as he sat up. “But what is it?”
“I’m s-sorry. I knocked.” The boy stammered. “I j-just… I can’t sleep.”
Lucius patted the bed next to him, indicating Harry should sit. “What’s wrong, Pet?” He asked softly.
At first, Harry just shrugged. “This is a new place.” He finally began. “And… I’ve never slept alone before.”
The blonde wizard thought for a moment before deciding on a course of action. Going against his better judgement, Lucius suggested, “Why don’t you sleep here tonight?”
Harry instantly perked up. “Can I? I mean, is that okay?”
“Of course, it’s okay. As long as we don’t engage in intercourse.” Lucius explained.
The dark-haired boy yawned in response.
“Come, lie down.” He slid the blanket down and Harry crawled over to the other side of the bed. They both settled down and got comfortable facing each other.
“Good night, Lucius.” Harry said quietly.
“Good night, Pet.” Lucius mimicked. He then leaned forward and place a chaste kiss upon the boy’s head. “Sleep now, little one.”
Just a little teaser, the smut starts next chapter.
