Chapter six
"That was a big thing you did," Marcus's voice startled Harry out of his reading. Looking up he found Marcus standing in the doorway to his and Lucius's bedroom.
"What was?" Harry asked confused. He had told everyone he was tired and going to have a lay down after two hours of listening to Lucius, Darius and Alexander discussing the Malfoy estate.
"Letting Alexander off for speaking to you the way he did, and for the accusations he made against you," Marcus said as he made he way over and sat on the edge of the bed beside Harry. Sighing Harry put his book on his lap, he should have known Marcus would pick it up, he would swear the man could read minds.
"He's important to Lucius, it would have been selfish of me to drag it out, and pointless, it would have caused friction," Harry shrugged stroking his finger down the spine of his book.
"Its not selfish Harry. Alexander was out of order, you would have been within your rights to still be angry with him," Marcus shook his head.
"I am still a little annoyed, but mainly because I know that that is how people are going to judge us, one way or another. But I don't want to make things harder for Lucius," Harry explained biting his lip.
"Every day you are here and every time I see you with my brother, I am more and more amazed as to how much I can see you truly care for Lucius. Standing up to Alexander and then backing down, all for Lucius, I can see how you feel for him Harry, others will see it to," Marcus assured him reaching out to squeeze his hand.
"I really do care for Lucius, and I am falling in love with him," Harry met Marcus's eyes causing the man to smile.
"I know you do Harry. We're all just so scared of him having his heart broken, he didn't love Narcissa, he didn't really like her but they were bonded and she hurt him. I guess we are all concerned what will happen if he actually gives his heart to someone. Alexander has looked after Lucius for years, but he had no right to speak to you or about you the way he did," Marcus explained.
"I am still angry, Lucius already doubts so much that I am going to stay, he's worried I'm going to take the baby from him. I don't want anyone, especially family putting ideas into head. I was more angry at what it would have Lucius thinking rather than the fact it was aimed at me," Harry sighed.
"You're within your rights to still be angry, Alexander was out of order," Marcus frowned slightly.
"There's no point in lingering over it, as I said it will just cause problems. I just need to let it go, hormones aren't helping with that I think," Harry smiled weakly.
"What is going on?" Lucius's small frown had Harry worried as they looked up to find him standing in the doorway.
"We were just having a chat," Marcus shrugged, patting Harry's hand after letting go before standing up.
"About?" Lucius's frown only deepened.
"Am I not allowed to talk to Harry now?" Marcus scowled at his brother. Sensing that this wasn't going to go well as he watched Lucius's eyes becoming more angry even as the Malfoy mask came down, he reached out and touched Marcus's hand. "Oh very well, make sure his wand isn't in a knot when he leaves this room," Marcus huffed before stomping out the room.
Lucius watched his process across the room and then loudly closed the door behind him, not quite slamming it but making his point. Then his eyes turned to Harry.
"Do not glare at me like that just because you've gotten yourself all worked up about something. Are you going to tell me what you are so upset about or am I supposed to turn into a seer?" Harry snapped after a few moments. Looking startled Lucius tried to glare again as he stepped slightly further into the room.
"What were you talking about?" Lucius repeated, his eyes scanning Harry's face, looking for something Harry didn't know.
"We were just talking Lucius," Harry frowned.
"Why won't you tell me? And I thought you were tired," Lucius rushed out. Suddenly seeing the problem here Harry rolled his eyes.
"Lucius for Merlin's sake, come here," He sighed holding out his hand. Lucius hesitated but when Harry wriggled his fingers he made his way over. Kneeling onto the bed he made his way over to Harry and set next to him, leaning against the headboard. When he wouldn't take Harry's hand, staring down at his own instead Harry rolled his eyes again and placed his hand on top of Lucius's. "Lucius you need to trust me for this to work," He said softly.
"I do," Lucius protested before wincing slightly at the look on Harry's face.
"So you are telling me that it didn't flash through your mind something was going on between me and Marcus and that's why you're acting like this now?" Harry asked sharply.
"It was just a moment," Lucius sighed, his shoulders drooping. Sighing himself and rubbing his eyes with his free hand he placed his book to the side and in a deft move that belied the bump of his stomach, and he himself choosing to ignore how much more awkward and energy he had to use to get himself onto Lucius's lap. Mentally grumbling he gripped a stunned Lucius's lapels and tugged him forwards to seal their lips together.
He could feel the shock in Lucius but he just kept moving his lips against Lucius's unmoving ones until Lucius suddenly jerked into movement, one arm went around Harry's waist and tugged him as close to his body as he could with Harry's bump while his other hand fisted Harry's hair. The grip was just on the other side of tight, enough to sting Harry's scalp but he found himself groaning into Lucius's mouth as he squirmed on his lap. Lucius kissed him with a force and hunger that made Harry's head spin and made him press closer into Lucius's body.
He gave a sigh when Lucius's large hands stroked along his legs before settling at the top of his thighs, squeezing them gently. Harry flicked his tongue against Lucius's playfully gaining a rumbling groan from Lucius's throat before he sucked hungrily on Harry's tongue. For fifteen minutes they just sat, enjoying kissing and stroking each other's chests and legs, not taking it any further yet, but enjoying the others presence and body. Eventually, once Harry's lips were swollen and likely bruised from the kissing and nipping, Lucius's not much better but considering they were thinner than Harry's it didn't show as much. Now they were just sitting the same position, Lucius rubbing the base of Harry's back were he would see Harry often rubbing himself when he stood, Harry playing with strands of Lucius's hair and randomly pressing kisses to Lucius's neck and shoulder.
"I'm sorry, I was being an idiot, again," Lucius finally broke the silence, turning his own head pressing his face to Harry's.
"Lucius I understand, really I do. I understand that after what she did to you you are going to be worried. But I'm not her, I'm not going to be unfaithful to you Lucius, and certainly not with your brother, in our bedroom when you are just down the hallway and I am pregnant with our baby. Lucius, Lucius look at me," Harry demanded when Lucius refused allow him to tug his head up. Slowly Lucius did as he was asked, raising his eyes slowly until Harry could see the emotions flashing through them. Guilt, confusion, pain, doubt, worry and uncertainty were just a few and each one made Harry's heart clench painfully.
"I'm…worried that I will never be able to trust you the way you deserve," Lucius admitted quietly, leaning forwards so that he could rest his head against Harry's chest. Gritting his teeth and knowing that Narcissa Malfoy was definitely going to have to get more than a divorce for what she had done to Lucius he wrapped an arm around Lucius's neck and stroked his hair with his free hand.
"You can and you will, we'll work on this together. If you are feeling insecure or worried, come and speak to me, tell me, I am not going to cheat on you, we will talk it through. Lucius I won't hurt you this way, and I don't have any reason to, we're going to have our arguments, we're going to snap at each other and say things that neither of us probably mean, that's all part of being in a relationship and loving each other. But that will never drive me to anyone else," Harry promised. Lucius was so raw and so damaged beneath his mask that he knew this was going to take work from both of them, and it would take a long time, years likely for Lucius to really be able to trust him, it was early days yet.
"I'm sorry Harry, really. I didn't think that you and Marcus were…I just…" Lucius sighed.
"I know Lucius. Marcus…I guess he figured out that I was still a little ticked off at your cousin and had come back here to cool off a little bit. I just wanted a little time to myself to ease off and try and let it go easier," Harry explained. Lucius raised his head and stroked his fingers through Harry's hair.
"He had no right to say the things he did to you, I am still angry at him for that, so I understand why you would be," Lucius frowned slightly.
"No, I'm partly angry that he thought I would play with you like that, or that I would lie about the baby. But mostly its knowing that people on both sides are going to doubt one of our feelings, or both, and another part is that I don't want people prodding those doubts in your head. But at the same time I understand that he loves you, he's worried for you and he has had to watch you being torn apart by her for so long. I also understand that us, this is highly unlikely to anyone that isn't us. And in the end he is your family, he loves you and you him, and that's why I will try and forget this and get along with him," Harry smiled slightly stroking Lucius's cheek as he watched Lucius's gorgeous silver blue eyes.
"You are too kind and giving for your own good sometimes," Lucius shook his head. Harry couldn't help his laughter when Lucius suddenly, but very carefully he noticed, moved forwards so Harry was lying on the bed and Lucius was hovering over him. As he stopped bouncing he titled his head so that he could watch Lucius lifting the bottom of his top to reveal his growing bump. "I hope the baby is like that, I hope he has your temperament," He smiled softly, his hands cupping either side of the bump and pressed a small hesitant kiss just above Harry's belly button.
"Lucius, you have as much right to touch the bump as I do," Harry assured him, reaching down to lightly tug Lucius's hair. Merlin he really was obsessed with it.
"I was never allowed…when Narcissa was pregnant, she could barely stand it herself, she didn't want me near her," Lucius frowned. Oh yes, he was getting Hermione to start researching, was there a way to permanently infect someone with syphilis?
"You're allowed whenever you want Lucius, the baby is ours, and I want them to know your voice as much as mines. The books I'm reading says to talk to the baby from as early on as possible, sing songs, even read so that the baby knows your voice and it is supposed to stimulate mental capacity as well," Harry explained.
"You're going to regret saying that, I struggle to keep my hands off you, add giving me permission to touch your bump and you'll be hiding," Lucius chuckled.
"Trust me, you don't need my permission to touch me or the bump, kind of comes with us being together," Harry smiled running his finger slowly and constantly down Lucius's face.
"Your daddy is going to be hexing fath…" Lucius paused speaking to the bump only to look up at Harry unsurely.
"What is it?" Harry asked concerned.
"I never liked Draco called me father, it reminds me of my own father and Samian," Lucius nipped the side of his cheek, looking back down as his fingers brushed the stretching skin.
"What did you want him to call you? What do you want the baby to call you?" Harry urged resuming stroking down Lucius's face as it seemed to ease him a little.
"My mother was French, I like Papa," Lucius flicked back up to Harry, nerves actually showing in his eyes.
"I like that, much less stuffy than father, it suits you," Harry nodded his agreement. The smile that he got caused that embarrassing hitch to his breath and jolt in his stomach that had nothing to do with the baby.
"Well then, your daddy is going to be hexing papa's hands before you are seven months in there," Lucius grinned.
"Your daddy is going to hit your papa if he doesn't start listening," Harry chuckled.
"So that's all the books that you have been reading?" Lucius asked his eyes flicking to the book Harry had put down.
"Yeah, the ones that I packed away at the hotel. They're in the night stand here if you want to read them," Harry nodded.
"Hm, right now I am going to take you up on that offer," Lucius smirked crawling up Harry's body to start pressing kisses along his neck, grinning at Harry's delighted laughter.
"What's that you're up to?" Lucius walked into the living room with Darius and Alexander. Marcis was seated across the table from Harry. Lucius bent his head to kiss the back of Harry's neck, and then his lips when he raised his head. Pulling back he pulled the blanket that had been around Harry's shoulders and little higher before shifting the seat to sit beside him.
The balcony facing the beach seemed to be the place they moved to in the late afternoon just before supper, and Lucius had of course known where to find Harry and Marcus after he, Alexander and Darius had finished the paperwork that had needed looking at.
"Writing back to the others. They want to floo call to speak to me face to face, I told them meeting was definitely out for now, for a while," Harry sighed sitting back and settling his hand on his stomach absently.
"What about floo calling, that would be safe, we can even set it up so they can call here without knowing where we are exactly," Lucius told him.
"I…things have been stressful enough lately as it is, and it can't be good for the baby. Maybe in a few weeks time," Harry shrugged.
"Just let us know when you're ready to speak to them and we'll set up the floo for you," Marcus smiled across the table at him as he placed his bookmark inside his book and placed it on the table.
"I just know that they are going to go into one of their you have to have been imperiod, a potion, but he's a Malfoy rants, even though Bill checked the letter," Harry grumbled to himself.
"Your friends?" Lucius asked with a frown as Marcus asked "Bill?
"Bill is a curse breaker, if I had been cursed, coerced or controlled in anyway Bill would have found it, he's one of the best in his area. And not so much my friends, the only one that would really pose a problem would be Ron and according to Hermione he punched Sirius when he said something I 'do not want to hear'," Harry shook his head.
"Sirius is more of a hot head than Ron is, Remus will beat him into actually using his brain to think," Harry explained seeing the look on Lucius's face.
"Who are the other letters for?" Lucius asked curiously seeing the two envelopes already written and sealed.
"Neville and Luna," Harry smiled.
"Longbottom and Lovegood? Draco said that Lovegood was a few ingredients short of a potion," Lucius said before blanching at the look he got.
"Luna is a little different but that doesn't make her crazy. She is just completely comfortable in her own skin and in being herself, she doesn't care what other people think of her. She is incredibly insightful and an amazing and loyal friend," Harry practically growled out as he glared darkly at Lucius.
"I…erm…sorry?" Lucius asked hopefully, ignoring the fact Marcus and Darius were snickering and Alexander was watching amused.
"Hmph, and not one word about Neville!" Harry's glare deepened until Lucius nodded. "Good. Both of them are ignored for the values that they do have because they don't appear to fit in. Neville was the last one standing with me at the Ministry before you and I…erm well…" Harry's glare disappeared as a furious blush took over his face.
"When you and he what?" Alexander asked curiously looking between them as Lucius gained a decidedly smug smirk.
"They wandered into the room of desire in the Department of Mysteries. And the rumours about it are all completely true," Marcus snickered.
"What you mean…Oh oh!" Alexander blinked before he started chuckling himself.
"Marcus," Harry groaned covering his face, it felt like it was on fire.
"My apologies Harry," Marcus nodded his head.
"You don't sound very sorry," Harry snorted. "And stop smirking you look like the cat that got the canary," Harry gently his Lucius's chest.
"I think he is," Darius laughed.
"Harry is less of a canary and more of a Hippogriff," Marcus said thoughtfully.
"I'll take a leaf out of your book and throw your book at you," Harry pouted.
"You threw a book at Harry?" Darius frowned.
"No at Lucius when he started being an idiot to Harry after speaking to Draco," Marcus shrugged.
"Oh, ouch. Take it that didn't go to well?" Darius winced.
"Putting it mildly, no it didn't," Lucius sighed.
"He will come around eventually," Marcus waved his hand.
"Come, finish writing your letter and we will have supper. I think we are having steak, chips and vegetables," Lucius said before gently kissing Harry.
"Sounds good….any chance of chocolate cake with banana ice cream after?" Harry asked thoughtfully licking his lips.
"I'm sure we can manage that," Lucius laughed burying his fingers into Harry's hair and gently tugging.
"Lucius…" Alexander frowned looking up at the sky. Turning they all watched the owl's progress as it got closer and closer to them, before with a welcoming hoot to Lucius it landed, however the smoking howler attached to its leg had their attention.
Sighing Alexander drew his wand and waved it to form a bubble over them before nodding to Lucius who opened the envelope. The first thing Harry noticed was that the normal shrill, piercing volume that came with a howler was greatly diminished, the next was a only vaguely familiar voice, but enough to know who the howler was from.
"Lucius Malfoy, how dare you do this to me, if you think that you are going to get away with this you have another thing coming, you are not going to divorce me and you are definitely not going to divorce me leaving me with nothing! After seventeen years of having to be married to you and putting up with you you are not going to just cat me aside! I will go to the papers and drag your name so far through the mud you are going to come crawling back on your knees to me! What idiotic thought went through your mind when you decided to divorce me huh? I will destroy your name if you do not get back in contact with that imbecile you call a solicitor and tell him you made a mistake! Who else would want you, who else would put up with your whining and your moping and your constant…" The four Malfoy's blinked as the shouted suddenly cut off when the howler burst into flames fast enough that the charm was cut dead.
Turning their heads they all looked at Harry who was casually tucking his wand away. His face was calm but when he raised his eyes they could see that they were swirling with pure, undiluted fury.
"I…really do not like that woman," He grit out, reaching out to take Lucius's hand as the fury in his eyes battled for dominance for the worry also there.
"I'm fine, really, why would I listen to her words when I have what you said to me earlier?" Lucius smiled, his face completely open as he leant forwards to brush their lips together. Sighing and relaxing slightly Harry pressed back against Lucius, cupping his face and leaning forwards slightly to deepen the kiss before they pulled back.
"I think its safe to say Harry really does like Lucius," Darius drawled clapping his father on the shoulder where he was looking slightly stunned.
"They are like this all the time," Marcus said mournfully.
"You don't have to watch Marcus," Harry grinned against Lucius's lips before brushing one last kiss there before he pulled back.
"You are hard to miss, constantly attached at the lips," Marcus huffed, but he could not help his smile.
"I am going to give these to Hedwig to send. And Lucius is right, you do need someone," Harry added over his shoulder before hurrying into the house.
"Not you as well!" Marcus groaned before the sound of Lucius's laughter mixed with Darius and Alexander's.
