Rating: M:
Summary: Harry has a vision of Sirius being tortured and begs Dobby to take him to Sirius. AS they Apparate out of the Fifth Year Gryffindor Dormitory he faints. Shocking things come to light about the Saviour. Involves Good Malfoys, good Sirius and Good Severus. More to be revealled...
Notes: Another random story idea…maybe not so random inspired by the conceiving of Merlin…
A/N: Anyone interested in a prequel that showcases the Slytherins in this story before it began- especially those interested in Adrian and Blaise can read 'The Snake and the Eagle'. However it's only prequel until I catch up to 'this story and then of course it'll be a side story. It pretty much shows what being in Slytherin was like during the first few books...
Chapter 38
Harry was not pleased to be bullied awake but his father-in-law.
“Come on lazy bones. Don’t make me steal the duvet. You have OWL exams make-ups.”
Harry grumbled.
Draco growled. “Father!”
“Don’t father me Draconis Lucius Malfoy-Potter.” Lucius snapped. “You’ve had plenty of time for revision. Severus even has graciously allowed you apply to retake the potions exam Harry. You will not be late. As is you have less then an hour to dress and have breakfast.”
The young bonded couple groaned and proceeded to sleepily stumble out of bed…
XoooooX
Lucius flooed them to Ministry, specifically to Emelia’s office.
Madam Bones had procured and personally warded a conference room for the boys to complete their O.W.L. exams.
They were led behind silencing wards to sit their exams.
Harry was still tired but he was determined to do well, he didn’t want to embarrass Draco, Lucius, Andromeda, Remus or Sirius who had worked so hard for him…
His proctor was Professor Tofty again while Draco got Professor Marchenbanks
Harry did much better with both the practical and written Potions exams, studying with Andromeda had helped.
Because Harry wasn’t really stupid just easily distracted he felt he did better this time around.
Harry was mentally and physically exhausted by the time he finished his make-up exams…
He sagged in his chair, only to have Draco scoop him up and cradle him. “Let’s go home.”
Harry relaxed in Draco’s arms and rest his head on his bonded’s shoulder, “Yes let’s.”
Draco followed his father to Madam Bones’ office where they flooed home.
Harry did take time to feed Scorpius and Orion, letting them feed until they fell asleep. He stayed in the nursery long enough to pump a bottle or two for later…
After a quick lunch of chicken salad sandwiches and crisps in their suite’s parlour, Draco carried him to bed and curled up next to him to take a short nap.
There was no where he’d rather be anyway then with Harry.
XoooooX
After Draco and Harry flooed back to Grimmauld, Lucius sent for lunch and knocked on Emelia’s door.
“Come in.”
Inside was his gorgeous mate, Lucius felt humbled that she would even look at him given his association with the Dark Lord.
“Lucius!” Emelia said with a shy beaming face.
“I hope I am not intruding.” Lucius said nervously.
“Of course not, it’s always a pleasure to see you.”
“I haven’t…you know checked the Malfoy Family Tree tapestry.” Lucius stammered.
Emelia smiled, “Well I checked ours.”
Lucius leaned forward, “And?”
“A daughter!” Emelia said blushing.. “Arwen Lucia.”
“Really! There hasn’t been a witch born into the main Malfoy family since my aunt.” Lucius said beaming and clapping with glee as he mouthed the name thoughtfully.
Lucia? It meant light and it was a feminine version of his own name.
“Well, with both Susan and her daughter ineligible to be my heir at present our daughter is very welcome. While neither can inherit the title they still can inherit vaults…” Emelia sighed.
“A daughter! With Draco’s Scorpius, our family growing…” Lucius said thoughtfully.
A Malfoy elf appeared with chicken and sprout sandwiches as well as steamed summer vegetables.
“Lunch? How delightful…” Emelia said shyly.
“If your schedule permits I would quite enjoy eating lunch with you. As you know I’m often at the Ministry as it is.” Lucius said as he laid his serviette on his lap and laid out his silver around his plate.
Emelia cleared a spot on her desk for her plate and accepted the serviette wrapped silver, “Thank you. It looks delicious.”
They ate and exchanged anecdotes of their day.
“By the way since my Aurors can’t be trusted I gave Sirius’ case to Tiberius.”
“Lord Montague?” Lucius asked between delicate bites of his sandwich.
“The very same, he’s one of my Hit Wizards.” Emelia nodded.
“Which is why his bonded Faith Burbage-Montague oversees both the Burbage and Montague interests.” Lucius said with a shrug.
“He is of course one of my trusted right hands. His father-in-law Aurelius Prince-Burbage has overseen the Hit Wizards since Urquhart’s lamentable retirement. Such a shame that he didn’t live long enough to enjoy it.” Emelia sighed.
“Urquhart was rather a legend wasn’t he? Honestly his fame was more deserved then Dumbledore’s.” Lucius sneered.
“I used to respect the man,” Emelia sniffed, “until I learned what abuses were allowed at Hogwarts under his nose. Threatened arrest or not, to leave children with such a woman was a terrible dereliction of duty.”
“Indeed.” Lucius said as he ate his vegetables.
“Umbrige’s trial preparation is still on going. I had suspicions about her involvement with the dementors that were set on Harry. I am suspicious that Fudge sent her to Hogwarts to keep her out of the Ministry to let it die down but making her Inquisitor was a mistake. He had no right to interfere with Hogwarts.” Emelia rolled her eyes.
“The Board of Govenors as we both know never acknowledged her anyway.” Lucius said as he laid his silver on his empty plate before covering it with his serviette.
Emelia put aside her empty plate, “We should do this again.”
“Standing date? Unless something comes up of course, you can always send an elf with a message.” Lucius said rising with great reluctance.
“I’d like that.” Emelia smiled up at him.
Lucius leaned over to kiss her, “You’re welcome to visit any time, we have time before we will need to sign a bonding contract but know this, I will do all in my power to make you happy. Finally, I am free to join with my mate and that is worth everything to me.”
“I always loved you Lucius, I might be subject to unkind gossip for our relationship but being your bonded and partner is all I ever wanted for myself.” Emelia said quietly.
“After the losses in the war beloved, we deserve this. The sooner the Dark Lord is killed or apprehended the better for all of us.” Lucius said bringing her hand to his lips before he flooed back to Grimmauld.
A daughter…
Draco would soon have a sister and that child was to be born to his mate and the possessor of his heart. Lucius would have danced for joy but his natural reticence held him in its thrall.
He hoped that his former betrothed Andromeda would have a stable pregnancy, after her losses and Dora’s lack of familial pride, his former prefect partner deserved a child.
After all, she brought so many children into the world and deserved one of her own…
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
Anon – True, a baby boom right now isn’t exactly the wisest thing with Voldy around but with Madam Bones around and the loss of Lucius’ support as well as all those arrests I’m sure he’s a lot weaker.
horsesrule- glad you liked it! Sorry the update took so long…
The Pink Fuzzy Elephant- random thought/memory I used to own a pink fuzzy elephant that had a music box. Back to the story I’m glad you’re enjoying it and I hope this update though small is enjoyable…
ChaosLady – Well this is sort of fluffy and timewise moves the story forward. There will be a short time skip as soon as I figure out how far it is going to be…
delia cerrano- 'Weddings' can be fun can't they? I'd prefer to write them then attend though lol. I am glad you like these couples and here is a bit more fluff. I hope you're in the mood for it!
