Choices & Confessions
Harry, Tony, Jade and AJ sit at their table the hostess has lead them to. Once they are situated, the adults order for the kids while they play and color. Harry is glad for the buffer, with the kids around Tony will not be able to question him about Lucius. They talked about mundane things while they ate breakfast, Jade did not mention anything again about her papa. This is a blessing in his opinion. After her spectacle in the lobby; Harry decides that he will have to either put a charm on her tongue about revealing certain secrets and reinforcing the secrecy rule of their home. He cannot fault his daughter for her excitement while all her other girlfriends have two parents to tuck her in, it has been just the two of them. To know and meet her other parent is something different. After breakfast Jade asks if they can go to the park, Harry did not see a problem with it. The kids can play and tire themselves out, what Harry did not foresee is the talk Tony will want to have. They walked to the park since it is not too far from the restaurant. Tony and Harry find the perfect spot to sit and still be able to watch kids if they need help.
“So,” Tony says soon as the kids are out of hearing distance.
Harry looks at Tony’s handsome face, “so what?” He asks.
“Don’t play dumb with me, Mike; I want to know what the hell happened since I spoke to you two weeks ago.” Tony snaps at him.
Harry shrugs his shoulders, “what do you want me to say Tony, two weeks ago Jade's father was not in the picture and now he is.”
Tony is silent for a few minutes, “How is it he shows up now out of thin air. Where has he been for the past five years?”
Leaning forward, Harry sighs and runs his hands through his blond hair. “That’s a bit hard to explain,” Harry starts out. “Luke and I had an agreement of sorts. Jade was a result of us not planning and talking things out properly.”
The crease in his brow show Tony is teeming with confusion, “what kind of agreement? Did he go back on the deal when your surrogate got pregnant? I’m not understanding this conversation Mike.”
“Luke did not know about Jade until a couple of weeks ago. If I were to guess he found out about our location the same time he found out about Jade.” Harry spills to Tony without revealing too much. “Apparently, he’s been searching for me since I left Britain. Just so happens he hired a competent PI this time around.”
“Are you in some kind of trouble?” Tony asks. “Is this Luke guy in some kind of mafia or the mob” He whispers. “I need to know Harry.”
Harry could not help it he laughed at Tony’s assumption about Lucius. Granted the man is known to hex you severely if you pissed him off enough times. Harry looks over at Tony to see that he is not laughing and is very serious about his question. Harry gets himself under control, “Tony, you do not need to worry, Luke’s not a part of the mafia or the mob. He’s just filthy fucking rich, with lots of time on his hands.”
Harry can tell that Tony is studying his face for the truth. “If he’s filthy rich why did you leave?”
“That is a long story that I rather not go into at the moment.” Harry says and looks over at Jade, who is happily playing with AJ. Why does she have to look so much like Lucius? If only Lucius had protected me better, or told me those three little words I wanted to hear. Perhaps, in the back of my mind, I still want to hear Lucius say them. You did not tell him how you felt before you left either so you cannot blame him for his anger. When Harry thinks, back he realized that he was too young for the responsibility that was placed on him; there was a lot he did not understand. Dumbledore and everyone depended on him and the one man he went to for solace did nothing to protect him. “That’s because you did not ask him to,” whispers a voice in the back of his mind. Lucius’ words from last night came back to him when they argued. Was Lucius right? Did he leave without giving them a chance at a life together? Why is life so fucking complicated, I would rather deal with another Dark Lord than deal with matters of the heart. I was fine not thinking about the man, as often as I do now in the past couple of weeks.
“What did you want to talk to me about?” Harry asks Tony to stop his wayward thoughts. Tony stares at Harry for a long while, “Come on man what it is” Harry says with a chuckle, “You’re making me nervous.”
“What do you see when you look at me Mike?” Tony asks.
“I’m not sure what you are asking, Tony?”
“Where do you see our friendship going? Have you ever thought of us as more than friends?”
Harry is silent, is Tony actually asking him out? “I’m not sure how to answer that question.” Harry says.
With a sigh, Tony opens his mouth to speak. “When I was in college, I experimented once with a guy. This was before I met Samantha of course.” Harry’s shock must have shown on his face. Tony smiles and continues on. “All we did were mutual hand and blow jobs, but the intensity of it was mind blowing. Even after I got married to Samantha, that experience always stuck with me. So after I found out about her and Ben, I was devastated don’t get me wrong. But I was not crushed, when I came to you that night I think I was more shocked that she would cheat on me, with my best friend than anything else. Add AJ in and I just could not understand, you know.” He says and looks at Harry. “My son is important to me.”
Harry turns and looks at Jade playing happily, something he never got the chance to do when he was growing up. “I feel the same way about Jade, she is my world.” He whispers.
“After the divorce I went out on a few dates with woman. But nothing came from those dates; the sex was mediocre at best. Six months later I met Dylan we hit it off; it was during the time you were busy trying to build on that property of land you acquired.” He reminds Harry, who remembers. Harry had just bought the property next to the mall and started building the condos. Plus, dealing with Jade and late nights at his Company, Harry made a name for himself as Michael Harcourt. He and Tony would have late meetings to discuss certain legal elements but that was it. “You were pretty busy.” Tony says breaking into his thoughts. “At first it was just dinner and movies and two guys shooting the shit, then one night he kissed me and I was floored. It was passionate the kiss went on from there, all I have to say is I never experienced sex like that.”
While Tony’s speaking, Harry searches himself for jealousy and realizes that even though he is attracted to Tony, the fact that he was with another man does not make him jealous. Curious but not jealous. “We dated for a couple of months and one day he disappeared no note, no phone call nothing. Broke my fucking heart.” A tear ran down Tony’s cheek but he bats it away quickly. “I was planning on introducing him to AJ, you and Jade but the bastard left. I searched for him but everything I knew about him was a lie. I went to the apartment he was renting empty; the cell phone number he gave me was disconnected.”
The sadness on Tony’s face touched Harry’s heart. He’s not sure if it is the guilt he feels of what he did to Lucius, his family and friends. Dylan left Tony without saying goodbye, he ran from his family and any of their expectations. “I dated a few more times after that, both sexes. But no one sparked my interest until one night we were working late on that new proposal for Homeland Security. And I found myself watching you, the way your mouth moved when you talked or when you nibbled on your bottom lip while you’re deep in thought. I especially loved the sway of your ass when you walked.” Tony turns and finds the look of apprehension on Harry’s face it was as if he is afraid of what he just revealed. “That night I went home and jerked off in the shower, conjuring up images of you.” Tony’s cheeks turns red as he blushes, and Harry found himself flattered no one has ever revealed something so intimate to and about him. “I tried to stop thinking about you, I did.” Tony assures him. “I told myself that dating would be bad for our friendship but Mike, I can’t help myself. I want you,” He says as he scoots closer to Harry. “I want us to start seeing each other and not as friends as lovers and maybe one day a family with AJ and Jade growing up together.”
Wow! thinks Harry, he did not know what to say. For years he has had a crush on Tony, in hopes that one day Tony would see him as more than a friend. He also thought Tony was off limits because he was straight; Harry has never been one of those guys who made it their life's mission to turn a straight man gay. But with what Tony just laid his lap and his mixed up feelings for Lucius, Harry is not sure what to say or what to do. Harry opens his mouth to speak when they hear an excited scream that sounds like Jade. Harry quickly looks away from Tony to see Jade running but not in his direction. When Harry looks at where his daughter is running to, he sees Lucius walking up to her with a bright smile on his face. His hair is loose and small gust of wind blows it a bit in his face. He wore black jeans and a blue t-shirt stretched across his chest showing off his physique rather nicely. The man is certainly sexy there is no denying that. Harry had to admit seeing Lucius this laid back is surprising and so un-Malfoy but for some reason it fits him. Could this be the real Lucius Malfoy I am seeing?
Lucius scoops Jade up in his arms soon as she reaches him. “Fuck” Harry says out loud without thinking Harry gets, up and walks over to Jade and Lucius.
HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM
Tony sits back seething as he watches Harry or should he say Mike get up and walk over to the infamous Lucius Malfoy. For years he’s watched Harry pine and mope over the man. How could the famous Harry Potter not know that his lawyer is a fucking squib he will never know, shouldn’t he have a sixth sense about these things or smart enough to tell. It was pure luck he was at the Gringotts closing out his great uncle's accounts.
-FLASHBACKS-
Anthony Rodriguez walked through Gringotts following behind a bank manager. His great uncle died a few days ago and left everything to his mother. However, what his great uncle did not know was that his mother died two months ago so everything he left went to Tony by default as the only family living family member. Tony stops in his tracks when he saw Harry Potter walk in and spoke to one of the goblins. His hair might have been blonde but those eyes were a dead giveaway. Tony watched and waited to see where Harry was going after he left the bank. Tony remembers even back then how sexy he thought Harry was. During that time Tony planned on leaving his then wife Samantha but she got pregnant with AJ, so he stayed with her.
But he still kept a close eye on Harry, learning his every move and schedule. When he found out about Jade, Tony wondered who the father could be? When he saw the little girl it answered his question, he knew exactly who the child’s other father was. The first time he found out about the beautiful and sexy Harry Potter was during his time at Cambridge Law School. Tony kept up on what was going on with the war in the Wizarding world. Harry Potter with his mesmerizing green eyes and the determination on his face that drew Tony in. Harry became his obsession, posters and pictures mounted on the walls of his dorm room. It saddened him when he had to leave because he never got the chance to meet Harry. Seeing Harry that day in the bank was one of the best days of his life he wanted and needed to be a part of Harry’s life no matter what. After Samantha gave birth to AJ, he tried to stop himself from thinking about Harry, but it only got worse when he became Harry’s lawyer.
It was not a lie when he told Harry about the pain he felt when Samantha cheated on him; the bitch was fucking his partner, in his house, in their bed, while his son was in the fucking room awake and watching them. He should have wiped her, sleazy, slimy, slutty-ass off the face of the planet, right then and there, her and that fucking scum that betrayed him. However, when he walked into the room and caught them he held on to pure sadistic rage that coursed through his veins and waited for the right time to strike. After divorcing Samantha, he made sure she signed over her parental rights of AJ to him, he bought Ben’s other half of the law firm. He killed them then told everyone they moved out of the state, to parts unknown. He was happy to tell people how grateful he was to have custody of his son. Luck was on his side when he married Samantha she was an only child, her parents died in a car crash after they got married. As for Ben he was a ward of the state and brought himself from the ground up making something of himself. Killing them was the easy part getting rid of the bodies was the hard part.
Tony planned it perfectly; he snuck into Ben’s home knowing exactly where he hid the spare key. This was Tony’s way of paying them back for the trauma they caused his son; he wanted to hear them scream, as he while watching life drain from their body. The arousal he felt at the time he planned and killed them did not compare to the one he has now just thinking about it gave him an almost indescribable measure of enjoyment. It pissed him off to think of how carelessness Samantha and Ben had been, Tony did not care that the bitch cheated on him, but with his child in the room was unforgivable, that betrayal was unforgivable. Tony can only imagine the trauma AJ will go through when he realizes the shit his mother was doing with him in the room. Tony recalls walking into the room he watched them fuck for a few minutes, Samantha riding Ben’s cock screaming, panting and begging him to fuck her harder until she could not walk for days.”
The night he killed them Tony quietly walked into the bedroom to see Samantha nestled in Ben’s arms safe in her dream world. So many scenarios went through his mind on how to kill them. Acid, carbonated water hell he even brought a fucking gun to shoot them. Each and every one of those ideas had their merits yet; Tony decided to go with something simple as good old-fashioned suffocation, with a twist. There was a pillow lying on the floor beside the bed, that could have been an effective tool, but he could not risk one of them wriggling free. Thanks to National Geographic, and the fact that he is a fucking genius, he enlisted the assistance of his Australian import the Blue ringed octopus. A quick injection of this beauty’s tetrodotoxin would quickly cause paralysis while ensuring that these mother fuckers were well aware of what was about to happen. He quickly pricked Ben first. Ben’s “What the fuck!?” exclamation woke her, but Tony was fast. He grabbed the skinny bitch by her throat to instantly silence her scream, he could have crushed it in an instant but there was an unspeakable thrill pounding in his chest. Ben managed to jump out of the bed; it was probably the click of the pistol that stopped him dead in his tracks. It amused Tony that Ben would flash him that killer, deal closing smile as he turned and wanted to obviously bargain. Fuck that, not today, the stupid fucker, Tony thought just before telling him to keep his “fucking mouth shut and you too bitch,” as he released his grasp from Samantha’s airway.
In a matter of minutes, he watched Ben stumble from his awkward standing position to a chair just a few feet away. It was at that moment that Ben knew, he fucked up and there was no turning back. He shits himself has he struggled for air. Tony flashed him his deal closing, devilishly handsome smile. Standing behind Samantha, he administered her perfectly timed dose right to her neck. Yes, as she suffered in the same manner that Ben will she would get the opportunity to watch him die right before she would share in the same slow painful death. Ben was clearly a fighter; the fucker wasn’t nearly as dead as Tony hoped. “Ah, this plastic wrap will have more than one use tonight,” Tony proclaimed as he pulled it out of the bag. Tony began to smother Ben, then let him get some air, then smother him some more. Though not as perfectly timed as he wanted, their bodies began to convulse. Tony watched with sheer excitement as each took their last breath the power the arousal he felt while killing them was indescribable. His cock literally got hard. Yet, he did not pleasure himself right away, he savored the memory of his kills until he got home.
Careful not to leave any evidence, Tony loaded the bodies into Ben’s black SUV and drove them a short distance to the pig farm he had passed several times visiting Ben. This was the perfect and most deserving way to get rid of their bodies. He almost wished they were alive to witness their true end. “Pig shit!” Tony caught himself singing and snapping his fingers doing his best Frank Sinatra impersonation. As he surveyed the scene, Tony took notice of the industrial meat grinder, this was not something he factored into his plan but it would ensure their bodies would be completely pulverized all he would need to do is drop their remains in the slop. With his usual bad boy smirk, he watched as their bodies went from a human form to that of low grade, ground hamburger meat with small chips of bones spread throughout. Ben watched with delight as the meat grinder helped him hide the evidence of his kill, to bad Harry cannot witness this with him, he thought.
He now had somewhere around two hundred and seventy-five pounds of ground meat to get rid of, this ought to be fun. At first Ben played a game of catch with the greedy little pigs, balling his creation into nice sized meatballs and tossing them into pig pen. Ben laughed each time he sent a ball sailing in the air and a pig would jump as high as it could to catch it. After more than three dozen meatballs, he shoveled the remainder of the tramp and dickhead into four different pens and watched as the pigs feasted leaving no evidence. He left the building whistling his pig shit tune, only stopping once to shut the light switch off as he proclaimed, “ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building…. thank you very much.” Note to self work on my Elvis impersonation because it sucked, he said out loud. That night in the privacy of his home Tony had one of the best orgasm of his life thinking about how he killed the bitch and the dickhead. Images of Harry encouraging him flittered through his mind to help bring him over the edge.
The next morning, he used a payphone and called a charitable organization to pick up their furniture for donations. Then under an assumed name and paying in cash, he bought Ben’s house and turned around and sold it for a profit. To throw suspicions off him, Tony used Harry as his alibi, nights of working late on projects, dinners, and movies playing the sad pathetic sucker to garner sympathy from Harry were easy. He pulled on the other man’s soft heart, asking for parental advice, pretended to listen when Harry told him he would find someone to love again.
A couple months later he picked Dylan up on corner where it’s known for prostitutes it was more for release than anything else. But Dylan looked so much like the real Harry with his raven hair and sea green eyes. He became one of Dylan’s regular customers. He told Dylan to quit selling his body and moved him into an apartment. Tony did not lie to Harry about how important Dylan became to him. He took Dyan to the salon and had his hair cut just the way Harry wore his when he attended Hogwarts. One day he accidentally hit Dylan the right way giving him a scar on his forehead. It was not in the shape of a lightning bolt but it was in the same exact spot Harry has his scar, that hides with glamour or make up. He bought Dylan glasses and told him he did not need to wear his contacts anymore. Dressed him in clothes that he’s seen Harry wore over the years. The only glitch to Tony’s experiment in trying to turn Dylan into Harry, he might look like Harry but he was not Harry.
It seems even though Dylan was a hooker he was not a stupid one. He found a picture of Harry, in a draw Tony kept by the side of his bed. Dylan questioned Tony about who is in the picture? Tony told Dylan it was his dead lover from college. That seemed to pacify Dylan until Tony hired a speech coach to teach him how to speak with a British accent. Dylan flipped out after his first session calling Tony out on his obsession for Harry or in Dylan’s word his dead lover. Tony saw rage once again and slapped Dylan in his face. He did not feel anything but arousal when he hit Dylan but to cover it up Tony tries to comfort him but in his haze of rage he called Dylan the wrong name. Tony remembers that day perfectly. He walked up to Dylan and pulls him into his arms, “I’m sorry baby, I’m so sorry Harry I didn’t mean to hit you. You just made me angry, please don’t do that again.” Tony did not realize he called Dylan Harry until the man was yelling at him once more.
There was no need to plot an elaborate murder, this thing, this prima-donna he created was not Harry and did not deserve to look him. The force of the first punch knocked Dylan back on his ass and literally knocked the piss out him. To an outsider the next fury of blows to Dylan’s face would seem to be the work of a deranged, out of control lunatic. However, Tony was in complete control, his fists were like that of a surgeon’s blade, but instead of slicing, they were smashing with the intention of beating all resemblance of Harry off of Dylan. Tony’s third or fourth hit, he couldn’t remember which it was knocked Dylan’s eye out. Despite Dylan’s animal like wailing, Tony beat his face until it was unrecognizable - another work of art. Tony stood over Dylan’s lifeless body. As he turned to walk away, he heard Dylan gasp for air, with his usual sarcastic grimace Tony turned and said, “Really? Didn’t you get the hint? You should have just gone into the light.” With that Tony’s Armani boot crushed Dylan’s windpipe, the crunch of the cartilage resonated up Tony’s leg it actually tickled a little. Tony looked down at his dick, “not now big guy, I got some work to do.”
To get rid of the evidence this time, he torched the whole building. The fact that the building had other occupants was of no concern to him. The roid-raging, Thor want to-be wife beater should have met with demise long ago. There were a few other poor son of bitches besides Dylan that died in the fire. The steroid, wife beating psychopath in 3B; the miserable, self-loathing prick across the hall; and the meth head on the top floor. Also, any evidence that he was there got destroyed.
-END FLASHBACK-
That was one year ago, since then he made sure he was apart of Harry’s life. He’s waited patiently for Harry to finally move on from whatever the hell he and Lucius Malfoy supposedly had. He had to standby and watch as Harry started dating other men but found no interest in them. Now as Tony is ready to make his move, to have Harry for himself, Lucius fucking Malfoy has the audacity to show up. Getting rid of a cheating wife, her lover and a prostitute was easy. Getting rid of a rich and influential Lord from the Wizarding world will not be an easy task.
Tony could not help watching the little family, and Harry’s uncomfortable stance. When Lucius moves a stray hair from Harry’s face and tucks it behind his ear, Tony saw red. Lucius does not have a right to touch Harry, he gave up that right a long time ago. Harry is mine now! Lucius puts Jade down who runs back over to AJ, just as Lucius’s hand stray from Harry’s ear down to his shoulder, Tony cannot read lips but he can read body language and Harry is not happy to see Lord Malfoy. Tony gets up and walks over to them just as he hears Harry tell Lucius, that showing up was unnecessary. Lucius is about to speak when he notices Tony heading in their direction. Tony who feels a bit vindictive walks up to Harry and puts his arms around the shorter man’s waist. “Hey baby, is everything ok?”

HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM

What the hell? Baby? What the bloody hell has gotten into Tony? Harry turns to look at Tony and tries to figure out why he would call him “Baby.” They are not done discussing aspects of their relationship from friendship to lovers. “Harry,” Lucius calls his name. Harry looks over to Lucius see angry stormy grey eyes looking back at him. Harry clears his throat and steps out of Tony’s embrace. “Would you like to introduce your friend.” Lucius says to him; his voice might be calm yet again those stormy grey eyes tells a different story. Harry has no idea why Lucius is gazing at him like makes him feel guilty. They are not together, just because they slept together last night, and have a child together does not give Lucius the right to get angry or make him feel as if he did something wrong.
“Um..Luke this is Tony my lawyer and friend.” Harry purposely used the name that Lucius gave when he met with Harry during the day he showed up at his office, this way Lucius won’t give away and call him Harry instead of Mike.
Tony stretched out his hand for Lucius to shake it, “Anthony Rodriguez it is a pleasure to meet you. How do you know Mike?”
“Luke Mason, and I am Jade's father.” Lucius says, it did not escape Tony or Harry notice that Lucius did not say it was a pleasure to meet the other man’s acquaintance. It also shows that Lucius did not appreciate Tony being around he and Jade; because he did not shake his hand. Like a true aristocrat, Lucius looks at Tony’s hand with disdain.
The look on Tony’s face change from neutral to angry, “Where the hell have you been for the past five years?”
Harry can see from Lucius expression that wherever his wand hidden, Tony is about to have a missing an eye, limb or just plain missing. The fact that Lucius has not been around to see his daughter grow up is partly his fault. Before Lucius can utter a scathing remark Harry speaks up. “Tony, I told you that things are a bit complicated between Luke and I.”
“You told this man our private affairs?” Lucius cuts in. “Our relationship is our business and no one else’s.” Then he turns to Tony, “I have not been around because Mike saw fit to leave with my child and not inform me of her. Otherwise I would have been here for him and her.” Then he raised an eyebrow. “And your presence in their lives would not be needed.” Lucius’ unspoken I’m here now is loud and clear to Tony and anyone else that dares to come between them.
“Why you--” Tony gets ready to say.
But Harry cuts him off. “Look I came here so that my child and her friend can play and have fun. If you two.” He says pointing to Lucius and Tony. “Cannot get along, Tony you can take AJ and go home. Or Luke you can fucking leave. Either way you both will shut the fuck up and sit your arses down. I’m not a hen so take you cock fight somewhere else.” Harry walks away leaving both men to stand there and continue to fight over the size of their cocks. Harry goes over to the sandbox bends down and starts to play with Jade and AJ. He makes sure to ignore both Tony and Lucius when they come over and enjoys the rest of the time with his daughter.
HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM
After Lucius was done with his errands for the day, JoAnna went back to her office and Lucius went back to him new home. He is happy to see that the elves that came with the home after signing the contract has already started cleaning and putting away his belongs. Lucius looks at his watch, seeing that it is pretty early, he decides that he wants to spend the rest of the day with Harry and Jade, he changes into something comfortable. He then remembers the tracking charm he put on Harry. Closing his eyes, he concentrates on Harry’s destination. Taken to a wooded area, Lucius did not understand or know where he was. Lucius was not sure if Harry was in danger until he hears the laughter of children. He follows the sound and to realize that he is at a park.
He looks around and spots Jade’s curls and see’s that she is running and laughing. Lucius looks around the park and see Harry sitting and talking with another handsome man. Lucius stops himself from walking over to Harry demanding answers, instead he heads for his Jade. As soon as his daughter see’s him she screams and runs for him. Lucius scoops her up immediately and she starts to if her dad called and told him where they were. Lucius tells her no he wanted to be with her so he used magic to bring him to her. She got so excited and asked if they can do magic later. He was about to tell her about the house he bought when he see’s Harry walking over to them, with a determined stride.
“What the hell Lucius, I told you I would not take her and run.”
It seems they are at a standoff at the moment. “Harry, not all of my actions have to do with you,” Lucius tells him, yet in the back of his mind, a nagging voice screams lies! “I felt the need to spend sometime with my daughter, and I felt it necessary to find her, and do as I wish.” He tells Harry and hugs Jade closer to him.
Lucius did not want to argue in front of his daughter, it is something he feels children should not witness. Draco was never privilege to arguments between he and Cissa and Jade will be given the same courtesy. Lucius puts Jade down and tells her to go back to her playing that he will still be there when she is done. Jade runs off to play when he decides to address Harry on the matter, “I would rather if you like to yell and scream it not be done in front of Jade. However, I would like to apologize for just showing up. I am still getting use to the idea of muggle technology.”
Harry nods his head in agreement, a loose hair slips from his tie and Lucius could not help himself he reach up and puts it behind Harry’s ear. Harry blush at that and Lucius did not want to move his hand from Harry’s body. His hand slips to Harry shoulder. “That’s not necessary.” Harry tells him just as the man that Harry was sitting with walks up beside them, puts his hand around Harry’s waist calling Baby.
Lucius look between Harry and the man for his actions. The shock look on Harry’s face tells face was not distinguishable to whether it is from the man words and action; or Harry did not know the man at all. Either way anger boils inside of Lucius. No puts their hands on Harry in an intimate way other than him. “Harry,” he says getting Harry’s attention. Harry must have felt or seen the anger radiating off him and moves out from the guys’ embrace. “Would you like to introduce your friend.”
“Um Luke this is Tony my lawyer and friend.” Lucius caught the fact that Harry wants him to use the muggle name he came up with. He did not like it but he will go along with for Harry’s sake.
Tony stretched out his hand for Lucius to shake it, “Anthony Rodriguez it is a pleasure to meet you. How do you know Mike?” Lucius
“Luke Mason and I am Jade's father.” Lucius purposely throws the fact of who he is to Jade and Harry. Other than the fact that the man is touching Harry, there is something about the man that Lucius did not like. As a spy Lucius is always on guard there are something you never put on a shelf and forget about it. Lucius will have to do his research.
“Where the hell have you been for the past five years.?” The Tony character asks.
Lucius quickly looks to Harry, and ask the silent question of who the hell does this scum under the bottom of his feet think he is talking to. Harry saw the look on Lucius face and speaks up before he can, “Tony, I told that things are a bit complicated between Luke and I.”
“You told this man our private affairs?” Lucius cuts in still looking at Harry. “Our relationship is our business and no one else.” Then he turns to Tony, “I have not been around because Mike saw fit to leave with my child and not inform me of her. Otherwise I would have been here for him and her.” Then he raised an eyebrow. What else has Harry told this interloper about their relationship. “And your presence in their lives would not be needed.” The unspoken I’m here now is left unsaid.
Tony starts to speak when Harry stops him and lit into both he and Tony. Lucius feels a bit chastise regret even entering into a conversation with the man. When Harry walks away to play with Jade and her friend, Lucius is left standing with Tony. Both men are in a standoff like roman gladiators all that missing is the swords and shield. “I don’t trust you nor do I like you.” Lucius starts off. “Mike is usually a good judge of character. But for some reason you have charmed your way to his and my daughter's life. I will tell you once more You. Are. Not. Needed.” With every word Lucius taps the other man with his index finger. Lucius did not give the other man a chance to reply he starts for the direction Harry went. He sees Harry and Jade playing with a little boy he walks over and joins them. Soon later Tony joins them. For the rest of the time the three adults play with the kids as if they were all friends and family, yet if anyone looks closely they can see the tension between the three adults.

After the park activities, Tony and AJ went home while Lucius follows Jade and Harry back to their home they made dinner Harry cooked this time. During dinner Harry and Lucius did not speak to each other using Jade as a buffer. After Jade has her shower once again Jade wanted Lucius to read and tuck her into bed. Harry is sitting on the couch drinking a glass of firewhiskey when Lucius came down. Lucius sits beside Harry on the couch, “what is it going to take for you to forgive me for leaving?” Harry ask him.
Lucius us silent and stares at the white wall in front of him. “It is not a matter of forgiving Harry; it is more the need to understand.”
Harry looks at Lucius, “Understand? Understand what?”
“To understand why you left.” Lucius tells him. “I would have done anything for you. Dammit Harry I would have given up the Malfoy fortune if you asked me to, that’s how much I loved you. So what if I didn’t say the words out loud, but I showed you the best way that I could. I spent the last five years searching for you to bring you home back to your family and back to me.”
Harry sighs, “I wouldn’t want you to do that Lucius, I know how much your family lineage means to you. Besides it is also a part of Jade's, sooner or later she will want to know where the other half of her came from.”
“Then what am I missing here Harry, because I’m telling you I feel so lost.”
Harry wonders how he can tell Lucius about his feelings and not sound like an ungrateful bastard. “I was under so much pressure during the war and the only time I felt free was when I was in your arms. Do you know how rare that was for me? I tried, I really tried to push you away not let you into my heart.” Harry stops and smiles, “But you and your Malfoy charm and charisma won me over.” Harry didn’t add his lovemaking skills is also a big part of it. “Lucius, I did not run from you, I ran for me. After I defeated Voldemort what else was there for me. I needed to make a mark in the world for myself not as Harry Potter but as someone else. Everyone would have expected so much more from me, more than I could have given myself.”
Harry gets up and walks over to the window and looks out, he crosses his arms and leans on to the side. “Do you know how many times I packed my bags to run back to you, especially when I found out about Jade.” Harry tells him with a shake of his head. “Too many times to count. But I had to push myself to finish what I started. I went to school online, learned about something I found interesting and I excelled at it. I did not and could not have anyone help me through this, during the war I had Ron and Hermione especially her holding my hand through every bleeding step. I build my company from the ground up, granted I used a bit of the Black and Potter fortune to do it.” Harry turns and looks at Lucius, “here’s the thing Luce I did it on my own. I did not use the name and fame of Harry Potter to do it. It was all me, I went and personally met with clients begged for every contract showed them my worth so that my company can grow.” Harry uncross his arms and runs his fingers through his growing his hair and pulls at the tie letting it fall to his shoulder.
“When I had Jade I was scared shitless, the nurse in the hospital, Amelia, bless her heart was there to help me for the first few weeks. She still stops by to see Jade every once in a while. She is the only one, other than the Goblins, that knows who I really am.” Harry continues. “But still I learned to be a father, I learned to change diapers and get up in the middle of the night for her feedings. Held her when she was sick and when she got hurt. I became as much of her world as she was already from the moment I found out I was pregnant.”
Harry walks over and kneels in front of Lucius, “I needed to grow Lucius, I needed to find my niche in this world. I could not do it in Britain, not in the Wizarding world where all anyone see is a hero, not a child who had to grow up too quickly.” Lucius sets to open his mouth when Harry stops him with a shake of his head. “I needed to figure out who I am, be a man and a father to Jade. And if I stayed there I would have never became the person you see standing before you everyone had so much wanted from me and I did not want to fail them. So I left.”
Harry moves to sit back in his position on the couch, neither man said anything. Tears begin to run down Harry’s cheeks this is the first time he’s admitted to anyone his reason’s for leaving everyone and everything he knew behind.
HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM*HP*LM
Lucius can not believe what Harry has just told him. Since he found Harry and Jade all he has done was demand that Harry should let him into their lives. “Why didn’t you tell me this is what you needed before you left?”
Harry shrugs his shoulder, “Honestly in the beginning I didn’t know what I needed. I just know I would not be able to breathe without the press in my face. Questioning my every move. People wondering if I was going to marry Ginny, I didn’t even know you and I could live freely as a couple until I saw the pictures of Draco and Blaise’s wedding the AP (American Prophet).”
“I would have protected you Harry.”
Harry moves his head quickly and Lucius realize Harry is crying, he moves to comfort him but Harry stops him. “No let me get this out,” Harry tells him. “Do you remember that Voldemort and I had a connection,” Lucius nods his head. “It was the last week before the final battle, the connection was weak but I can still see a few things when Voldemort's emotions were high.” Lucius sees Harry subconsciously rub where his scar is suppose to be. “I saw what he did to Narcissa, I saw how he killed her and I saw the look on your face. You might not have been in love with her, but you loved her none the less and you could not protect her. And it hit me that you could not even protect yourself then.”
Lucius remembers that night and knows he will never forget it, that night he was almost found out for being a spy. Narcissa took the blame for him and told the Dark Lord that she was the spy. He did not know she was going to throw herself at the Dark Lord’s feet and beg for his forgiveness for being a traitor. The Dark Lord was too angry and killed her instead. If it was not for Severus and Draco holding him in place Lucius would have drawn his wand and tried to kill the snake face bastard right, then and there. “I wanted to kill him,” Lucius hears himself say. “I wanted to kill him right where he stood but Severus and Draco stopped me.”
Harry did not respond to Lucius confession. “Despite what you might think Harry I did not come here to mess up the life you have built.” Lucius tells him. “When I first started looking for you, it was more because of my ego was bruised, my pride. I have never left a lover wanting or had them run away from me. You were not the only that felt free when we were together, those nights we were together went from sex to us making love. I realized I fell in love you when you left, you took a piece of my heart and I don’t want to take it back. You are not the only who had to figure out who they are. I grew up too. I accepted help from others like the Weasley’s, and opened my doors and mind up to the possibilities to new things.” Lucius gets pours himself a glass of the muggle vodka Harry had sitting out. He takes a sip and swallows the drink slowly, Lucius appreciated the burn from the vodka before he continues. “I was not the only one who was devastated when you left. Poor Lupin just lost his child and wife, in the same night.”
Lucius hears Harry gasps at the news, but Lucius continues. “Everyone was expecting him to turn into his wolf and live like a wild beast no one knew how he would react when he found out you left.” Lucius stops and think, “We are still expecting it actually,” Lucius smiles, “But I think Severus will kill him first now that they are dating.” I’m the only one who knows about their relationship. “We had to force calming draughts for months and pray he didn’t become addicted.” Lucius went on to update Harry on how his leaving affected his family. While Harry may think his leaving had little to no consequences, he is completely wrong. “Arthur was hurt badly we did not know if he would make it. The war was hard on all of us.” Lucius whispers. “I might look like the picture of health Harry, but I was a broken man inside and out. I sought help and learned to move on with some semblance of life, I had to learn to do it without you but my life is not complete. I thought you died Harry,” Lucius hear the catch in his voice and hold back his tears. “I searched the faces of every dead body I came across looking for you. I was so happy when none of them were you but sad because of another life lost in a senseless war.”
Lucius finishes his drink then walks over and sit next to Harry and pulls him into his arms. “I’m proud of you Harry, so proud that you made a name for yourself. That you found what you were searching for. But I can tell that you are lonely, you miss us just as much as we miss you.” Harry nods his head in Lucius shoulder.
“What do you want from me Luce?” Harry asks him, Lucius can hear the sincerity of the question in Harry’s voice.
That is the big question isn’t, Lucius thinks to himself. He pulls Harry closer and kiss him on the top his head and answers carefully. “I want this Harry, you in my arms every night. Tucking Jade into bed watching her grow up to be the princess I know she is. I want what we had last night and this morning. I want to hold you when you sleep and wake up with us in the same position. I want to get to know the man you have become. I want to be the only man you love and the only man to love you Harry. I want you to carry the name Malfoy and to see you pregnant with a sister or brother for Jade. I want a life with you, not stolen night and kisses but a life filled with love.”
Harry is silent after Lucius confession. For the first time in his adult life Lucius is admitting to wanting something rather than just taking and demanding it. Harry jerks and lifts his head from Lucius shoulder.
“Lucius, we did not sleep together this morning.”
