Chapter-37
Lucius's Tale
Ten minutes later, Harry found himself sitting cross legged on a couch with Draco's head on his lap. Lucius was sitting with Narcissa across them. Narcissa was lost in her thoughts and Lucius was staring at the fire, pointedly looking away from them. Remus, Severus, Hermione and Ron were also sitting on different couches in the room.
"Lucius, tell him. He needs to know." It was Remus who said this. Lucius had been quiet for the past five minutes and Lucius looked at Remus, his eyes stunned.
"You knew?" He asked and Remus sighed heavily, his eyes guilty. "Yes, I did. Your scent was all over him."
Lucius breathed and lifted a hand to stop Remus and then stared back at the fire.
"What is it, Lucius? Just spit it out." Severus finally snapped, his eyes curious.
Finally, Lucius started, "How much do you love my son, Harry?" and Harry stared at Lucius. Lucius looked at him, his right ankle on his left knee and his arms crossed.
"Father." Draco started but Harry lifted his hand from Draco's cheeks to place a finger on his lips. He received a soft kiss on his finger in reply and Harry placed his hand back on Draco's cheeks. The movement did not go unnoticed by Lucius and his eyes returned to Harry's.
"Do you love him enough to go against your own godfather, to trust him over everyone else, no matter who they are?" Came the question and Harry's eyebrows rose in surprise.
"What is the point of this question father?" Draco asked and Lucius replied, his body frozen, "Answer me."
Harry replied easily, "Yes. I do."
"Very well, then I will start. Years ago, when I was in my fourth year, I fell for your father. We had a secret relationship and met each other at night. I never told him that I loved him because he did not love me. I still don't know what his purpose of going out with me was but then he fell for Lily and told me so. I told him that it's okay and that we can stop our meetings and he just nodded and left." Lucius's voice was flat and his eyes towards the fireplace again, his legs apart and his hands joined. Everyone sans Remus was shocked.
Harry studied Lucius's posture carefully. His eyes seemed blank and his face was expressionless. His back was stiff and he was lost somewhere no one could reach him. Harry wondered if Lucius had loved his dad. He wondered why dad had led Lucius like this when he had not wanted any relationship with him.
"I -" He started and Lucius blinked before cutting him off, "But that's not the part you should worry about. Your godfather Sirius Black wanted me and I am not aware whether it was love or lust. I did not care to find out. Somehow he knew about our clandestine meetings and blackmailed me. He said that he would expose me if I don't agree to have a relationship with him. I, of course, refused. My housemates knew that I was a bi. I had thought that he would forget about it but I don't think he has. Then I joined the ranks of death eaters and forgot all about it. But, now, now I think that he is somehow connected to Draco's sentence and what happened after that."
Draco's head was not on his lap now. He was sitting straight, his back rigid as he stared at his father.
"Lucius, I know you think that James was not interested in anything except shagging you but-"
"Save it, Lupin. I am not interested. It was a school-boy crush." Lucius snapped at him and Severus spoke, "Lucius-"
"NO." Lucius barked and Harry saw that Narcissa's eyes were closed now, her hand on Lucius's wrist.
Thankfully, Hermione and Ron were quiet.
"Father, did you join the death eaters because-" Draco started and Lucius cut him off sharply, "That is none of your business."
Through all of it, Harry stayed quiet, reliving all the previous instances when he had confronted Lucius and the man had always avoided looking at him.
"I was your best friend. I have always been. You never told me." Severus muttered, his voice devoid of any emotion and Lucius replied curtly, "He did not want anyone to know. He wanted to keep it a secret. Though I did not care about him-" Lucius stopped speaking and Harry realized that Lucius was lying through his teeth, "-I didn't want my parents to know."
"As I was saying, after my sentence, when I returned and stayed with Severus for a few days, Sirius visited a few times and he tried to... become intimate with me."
Lucius's voice was deadpanned and everyone fell silent. Finally, Hermione spoke up after a few minutes, "Mr. Malfoy, did he say anything about Draco?"
He did not look at her while he replied, "No. But I had a feeling. He is still obsessed. I saw something flash in his eyes when I rejected him. He did not say anything but his eyes revealed many things."
"Lucius, James was not just experimenting with you. He was aware that he was a bi."
"I said, shut it. I don't care, not even a bit." Lucius snapped angrily at Remus. Harry looked at the blonde. His eyes were burning with an unnamed emotion. He stood up, his face rigid and his body straight and his intense grey eyes fell upon Draco and him and Draco tried to move away.
Something akin to fear flashed in Lucius's eyes and he looked at them and spoke in a curt voice, "Do not pull away from him because of me Draco. I do not see James in your husband. He has a lot of Lily in him. Severus is enough to tell you that. I want you to promise me that you won't distance yourself from him to suit anyone else, be that me or your mother."
"Yes, my son." Narcissa spoke. She was standing beside Lucius now. "Do not think that your parents have led a loveless life. I love your father and I always have and I always will. You don't have to be conscious in front of us. Harry is a lot like Lily. Isn't he Severus?"
Severus was quiet for a moment. Harry turned to look at the man. He was looking at Harry now, trying to search something in his eyes and Harry realized with a jolt that he was trying to find his first best friend in Harry. The man stood up abruptly and turned towards the door.
When he mumbled, his voice was melancholy, "Yes. Yes he does."
With these words, he was gone and Harry closed his eyes. He had known that Severus had always seen mum in him and had missed her.
What a mess. Two people who had grudges against dad now. Thank you so bloody much, dad.
He was so lost in his thoughts that he did not even notice Lucius walking towards the door with her wife. Only when he reached the door did Harry see him and he whispered, "Do you still love my dad?"
Lucius froze and he noticed Remus freeze and turn his face to look at Lucius as well.
Very slowly Lucius turned around lifted his right hand and placed it in display of everyone. Surprisingly, Harry noticed that he was not wearing any rings at all, not even the Malfoy signet.
Lucius flicked his finger and Harry's eyebrows rose when a ring appeared on his third finger. It was a diamond ring and the diamond was shaped as a stag which perhaps symbolised his father.
"He gave this to me twenty days after we started meeting discreetly. I gave one such ring to him too. After he told me that he was in love with Lily he gave the one I gifted him, back to me and waited for me to return his. I didn't. He didn't ask again."
The fact that Lucius had never replaced dad's ring with Narcissa's didn't escape anyone's notice and a new found respect grew in Harry's heart for the elder Malfoy.

"I am sorry Mr. Malfoy." Harry replied, his eyes full of wonder. Father flicked his finger and the ring was invisible again.
"Mr. Malfoy." It was Ron who said this and Draco had forgotten about Ron's presence at all. He looked around to find Remus gone. He must have been guilty and sad and must have escaped through the floo. Hermione was sitting silently, her eyes sad.
"Yes, Mr. Weasley."
"I would like to bury the hatchet and move on. I am visiting my parents this weekend and I am inviting Harry and Draco as well. We will be having dinner. I would like to invite you." The man's cheeks tinged pink and father looked bewildered. Mother mirrored his reaction. Mother recovered from her shock quicker though and replied, "Of course. Mr. Weasley. Thank You."
"We would be honoured. Thank You Mr. Weasley." Father finally said and continued, "We would take our leave now. Please owl us if you need any help."
"I will stay in touch father. Where are you staying?" Draco blurted in a hurried voice and his cheeks warmed.
"Malfoy Manor. Do bring Harry with you.."
Harry looked at them, startled at the invitation. Father left after that and Mother gave them a little smile, her eyes sad before following father.
Ron and Hermione shifted close to them now and sat in front of them. Draco laid his head in Harry's lap again and Harry started stroking his hair.
"Harry, say something." Hermione whispered, clearly anxious and Ron just shook his head, "I don't believe this mate. I mean, Sirius?"
Harry cleared his throat before continued before speaking, "I think Ginny is involved as well."
Ron and Hermione looked thunderstruck for a few moments.
