Chapter Four
It took Severus a few hours to calm down; he still was upset that his forced abortion had left him infertile. He HATED Dumbledore for killing his baby and destroying any hope for continuing the Prince line. He hadn't forgiven the old man for letting Lily die or sending her son to live with Petunia, he should have fought against it. Severus was calmer by the time the Solicitor arrived to take the legal documents that bonded him to Lucius and made Draco his son.
They did the simplest 'ceremony' making him Prince-Malfoy but his heart was broken, how could Lucius not hate him for killing their child? Lucius was angry with Dumbledore and he was out for blood. He blood adopted Draco in the Malfoy's London house. He sat there twisting his ring after kicking Draco out to do something besides sit at Harry's bedside.
His son was very much like his father; beneath his arrogance was a protective young man who hated to see anyone hurt. Severus wondered if Draco might…
He shook his head; he shouldn't consider such things yet.
XoooooX
Harry finally woke, to find himself in a strange room.
"I wondered when you'd wake, you've slept nearly two days."
Harry tried to sit up only to gently be made to stay down.
"Don't get up too fast, rest a bit."
"What about,"
"School? The Board of Governors and the Minister of Magic have excused you from classes. Dumbledore is quite upset but Fudge for once in his life is being stubborn and for the right reasons." Severus leaned over to see if he had a fever.
"Snape!"
"Actually, it's Prince-Malfoy but that's another story. You fainted, do you remember that?" Severus asked.
"Yes, something about my name coming out of the Goblet of Fire." Harry said shivering.
"We're trying to get you out of that but they keep saying it's a magical contract. I've alienated the headmaster for good now. He's angry with me for taking you out of the castle. You weren't being treated properly and I was worried for you, especially when I saw your scars."
Harry paled.
Severus unbuttoned his robe; removing his own glamour, "See? You aren't the only half-Blood wizard to come from an abusive home. I'd like to apologize to you for how I behaved since you started at Hogwarts. I let my hatred of your father cloud my judgment; your mother would be very disappointed in me. I should have trusted you with Black but I hated him so much. I thought I put all behind me but when I had a chance to hurt him I took it."
"You knew my parents?" Harry asked in a whisper.
Severus smiled, "Lily Evans was my first friend. We met as children; I was the first person to tell her she was a witch. Lily was very talented; we were inseparable almost like siblings. Her older sister Petunia hated us because we could do things she couldn't. We were always together, I was trying to escape my abusive parents and Lily was trying to avoid her sister. Your father hated me; I think he was mostly jealous because he liked Lily from the start and she wouldn't give him the time of day because he wasn't nice to me. I never really liked James Potter, but he and I made a sort of peace and Lily ended up falling in love with him. You're safe now; Lucius is trying to get you away from Petunia. We're trying to locate Remus Lupin, he's been appointed as your guardian because of his friendship with your parents."
"I don't have to go back?" Harry asked.
Severus smiled, summoning a set of potions Harry was supposed to take, "Here, these will help. If you feel up to it we can join Lucius and Draco for lunch."
Harry's eyes widened, "Draco?" he stammered.
"Yes it seems that both Malfoys have a soft spot for abused teenagers. If it weren't for Lucius and Lily I don't know how I'd have survived. Granger and Weasley don't know do they?" Severus asked handing the boy the potions and helping him sit up.
Harry took the potions drinking them without complaint but making a face, "No. Ron knows they locked me in my room; they had to tie a rope to the bars and rip them out of the window using the flying Ford Anglia. The twins helped by summoning my trunk from the cupboard under the stairs."
"I'm sorry I didn't know sooner. Are you feeling well enough to come attempt lunch? You've missed too many meals already, I can have Treca bring a tray."
Harry shook his head whispering, "I'll come. Don't want to cause trouble."
Severus helped the boy out of bed.
"Why are you being so nice? You're always yelling at me because I'm bad."
Severus shook his head, helping the tiny teen to the door, "You're not bad. I was just being stubborn. Like when you tried to tell me that Black was innocent and I wouldn't listen."
"Okay." Harry wasn't sure he believed him; it was a bit unnerving to have Mr. Snape being so nice…
XoooooX
"So Dad," Draco asked, "…when do I have to go back to school?"
"Soon, I thought you could use some time to get used to have Severus as your papa." Lucius was still furious that Dumbledore had killed his first conceived child but then he wouldn't have Draco. He was even more irate that the abortion spell was illegal and made his Severus infertile, not that he would tell his son any of this at present.
Draco looked up hearing approaching footsteps to see his papa helping Harry, "He's awake."
Harry stiffened seeing the two Malfoys, even though Snape had said he was Prince Malfoy, it hadn't really sunk in, "Malfoy? What are you doing here?"
Lucius gestured for Harry to take a seat beside Draco, across the table from him, "You've been in my care since Severus took you away from the castle."
"Why would he do that? I thought he hated me,"
Severus winced, "Because I was once a battered boy myself, I had to treat my own wounds. I never had a doctor growing up and Nurse Pomfrey wouldn't treat the injuries I sustained when I was bullied at school."
Harry nodded, "I know the feeling, it was called, 'Harry-Hunting.'"
Draco couldn't believe it, that was a horrible sounding game.
"Black called it, 'Snivellius-baiting' in my case."
"Sirius? No wonder you hated him." Harry whispered, "Did Mr. Lupin play it too?"
Severus shook his head, "No, but I resented him because he became a prefect and still wouldn't stop it."
Harry's eyes narrowed, "Malfoy said once his father was Head Boy, why didn't,"
Severus waved his hand, "No one really knew we were seeing one another, I made Lucius ignore it unless it happened right in front of him."
"Still made me furious," Lucius grumbled, "…at least Evans tried to stop it."
"Bit embarrassing being saved by a girl," Severus countered, "…but she was a good friend."
"So why am I here?" Harry asked softly.
"We saw how terrified you were when your name was called." Draco answered, "I saw you faint and felt your Glamour break."
"I was the one who picked you up and took you to the infirmary." Severus said quietly, "I felt your scars. Everyone immediately assumed you cheated and fainted to avoid punishment. Pomfrey barely examined you at all, I was angry about that and worried. Then Draco came and we decided to take you to Lucius. I showed him your scars knowing it would upset him and convince him to help."
"Admit it papa, you begged him." Draco said pouring himself some pumpkin juice.
Severus' sallow face turned a bit pink, "Draco!"
"It's true. I did help, I called our private healer and he gave you a proper examination. He told us you had to eat often and what potions you needed."
"He even recommended a Mind Healer to help with your recovery" Severus muttered, "He said Ted Tonks was the best."
"Andromeda's Muggleborn Hufflepuff of a bondmate?' Lucius asked a bit shocked.
The potions master nodded, "The very same. Lucius also called an Auror to see your wounds and the Minister for Magic."
Harry yelped, folding in on himself, "You told? But,"
Draco snapped, "Do you want to return to your abusive Muggle relatives?"
Harry whispered, frightened, "No…"
"Draco, do watch that tone, you're scared him." Lucius admonished gently.
Draco hung his head, "Sorry."
"As we were saying, we informed the minister to try to get you out of the tournament. We've started paperwork to get you away from Petunia, since Sirius was you godfather but he is currently a fugitive he isn't exactly going to be handed custody. I can't have custody or rather it wouldn't be seemly because your father didn't like me. So I recommended Remus, sort of an apology for losing my temper and outing him to the parents as a werewolf." Severus said quietly.
Harry whispered, "That was very mean, it meant that Mr. Lupin had to go away."
Severus sighed, "It was very wrong of me, that's why I thought he would make a decent guardian for you. He likes you and cares about your education, I promise that Lupin will receive his potion so he won't transform and act all scary again."
Harry shivered, "That was really scary, if it weren't for Sirius we would have all be hurt." He remembered last year when Dumbledore and Hermione bullied him into agreeing to us the timeturner to save Sirius and Buckbeak. He liked Buckbeak until he attacked Malfoy. Hagrid had really scary pets.
Lucius smiled at the boy, "It's okay to eat, the healer said to eat as much as you can. Draco will bring you a snack in a little while so you can eat something while you study. What do you think would be a good snack?"
Harry thought back to Dudley's idea of a snack, he said weakly, "Cake?"
Draco grinned, "What kind of cake?"
"Um…white cake with lots of frosting? And cider?"
Draco chuckled, "Harry, you're my new best friend."
Severus snorted, "Isn't that what Goyle and Crabbe think a snack is?'
Draco shook his head, "No, they think that's dessert. They think a quarter of Honeydukes is a snack." He smirked.
That sent them all off into fits of laughter.
Harry was a bit surprised he was enjoying himself, this was Professor Snape who picked on him every day and Malfoys- all Slytherins. Didn't Ron and Hagrid say that Slytherins were all Dark Wizards? He was so confused…
Lucius, Severus and Draco gently prodded Harry to eat.
Harry was soon so full he was falling asleep at the table, it had been a while since he had eaten and his stomach shrunk again.
Lucius and Draco were soon confused, Draco was sure he'd seen Harry eat more at the Gryffindor table. The younger Malfoy was about to make a stinging comment.
Severus saw the crackle of fury in his son's eyes, "Harry, it's quite alright. I can tell you're full. The problem with being starved is your stomach shrinks."
Draco flush in embarrassment, thankful that his papa kept him from embarrassing himself and hurting Harry's feelings.
"Draco, why don't you take Harry up to his room? Then go copy your homework assignments so he can do his later."
Draco nodded; Harry was already two days behind…
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Troll?
