Draco was standing in front of the closed door of one of the rooms of Malfoy Mansion. – “Dad? Dad, please. I need to talk to you.” Noting. “Dad. Come on, open the door.” Noting again. He was getting more and more frustrated by the minute. Lucius warded the door and locked himself in, almost right after Voldemort was defeated. Even though Malfoys never officially participated in the battle, their association with the Dark Lord was undeniable. And while lawyers were trying to clear their name, their assets were frozen till further notice. Not waiting till the end of the trial and not being able to cope with the fact that their name was dragged through dirt, Daily Prophet made sure of that, Narcissa left without saying goodbye to Lucius or her son.
Popping sound in the fireplace, told Draco about Harry’s arrival. He looked at the closed door in front of him and shaking his head, went downstairs. Harry locked him in a tight embrace. – “You’re home early” Draco said, returning the hug. – “Yeah, I finished my training early today. They’re still incredibly understaffed at the Ministry. Almost all of the Aurors are being thrown to find the remaining Death Eaters, so …” He looked at Draco and ran his fingers through the blonde’s hair. “Any luck with Lucius?” Draco shook his head – “No. I can’t break through the wards without my wand and who knows when they’ll give it back to me. Last time he spoke with me was almost two days ago. For all I know he might be already dead in that room.” – “Come on then, I’ll help you remove the wards and then I’ll wait for you in your room, while you talk some sense into him.” – “You think you’ll be able to open it?” – “I’ll try, love. Your dad’s wandless magic is strong, but after sitting there for two weeks, I assume he’s pretty drained, so the wards shouldn’t be as strong as they were before.”
Harry was right. One strong spell blasted the door to pieces. Draco ran in, to find Lucius sitting still in one of the armchairs by the window. – “Dad?” There was no answer. Once proud and graceful face of Lord Malfoy was not showing any signs of life. Draco’s eyes filled with tears. He grabbed one hand that was hanging on the side of the armchair and saw deep cut on the wrist, blood pouring out from the wound. – “No. No. No. Please” he screamed. Harry heard his cry and ran in to find Draco on his knees in the puddle of blood. – “Come on, love. Get up.” Draco shook his head. – “No, I won’t leave him.” He was clenching to his dad’s arm. Harry brought his hand to Lucius’s lips to see if he was still breathing. Low, and barely noticeable, but it was there. – “He’s still alive. We need to take him to the hospital.” Draco got up with the slight relief on his face. – “We need to take care of his wrists firs. I’ll get the bandages and then the we can apparate with him to St. Mungo’s.”
Severus woke up for the third time within the last few hours. He was still very week. He only had enough energy to keep his eyes open for a little while before drifting off to sleep again. He turned his head to see Hermione on the armchair by the side of his bed. She quickly raised her head from the book she was reading. – “Did you hear that?” – “Yes” he said. “Looks like someone’s cry for help.” – “I’ll go see what’s going on. I’ll be right back.” She got up and walked out to see Harry and Draco yelling at one of the doctors. – “What do you mean you’re not going to accept him. He is dying. He needs your help.” – “I’m sorry but your father Draco, was a Death Eater and per Ministry’s new law, we cannot treat him in any way until he is proven innocent.” – “He’ll be dead by then. You have to do something.” – “I’m sorry, I’m afraid that there’s nothing we can do for him.” With all the strength he could manage, Draco smashed his fist against the wall and sank to the floor with loud sobs. Hermione dropped on her knees by him and hugged him as tight as she could. – “Shhh”, she cooed stroking his hair with one hand, “it’s gonna be ok.”
Harry looked at the sobbing form of his lover and pulled out his wand. The expression on his face was dangerous. He slowly turned to the doctor and pointed his wand at him. – “You will help this man or so help me God, you will not live to see light of day.” With fear in his eyes, doctor took a few steps back. – “But… but you can’t… the law…I…” – “If he dies, you’ll be put in Azkaban faster than you could ever imagine. I’ll personally see to it. Trust me, by the time I’m done talking to minister Shacklebolt, Dementor’s kiss will be seemed like the best possible outcome for you.” Doctor swallowed hard. The deadly look in Harry’s eyes told him that he was not bluffing. – “Code red” he called out. “I’ll need help here.” Nurses rushed to the bed that Lucius laid on and rolled it into an operation room. Harry grabbed doctor’s arm before he could enter the room. - “You better do everything you can for him and pray the he lives, or you doctor will be placed in custody by the end of today.” He nodded. – “I’ll do my best.” Harry let him go and turned to Draco and Hermione.
After helping them up, he took Draco’s hand and placed a few kisses on his palm. – “We need to take care of that. Come on, let’s find you some help.” Draco gave him a wry smile. – “I don’t think that anyone in this hospital will rush to help me. You’ve heard what doctor said, “no help for the wicked”. – “Don’t say that, we’ll find someone.” He turned to Hermione. “Thanks for your help.” – “It was nothing, really. If you want, you two can come into our room. I have some stuff that will help with Draco’s hand. And you’ll also be able to say hi to Severus.” She gave them both a smile. – “He woke up? When?” – “About four hours ago. He is still week, but doctors are saying that with plenty of rest, he’ll get better in no time.”
Harry smiled and nodded his head. – “This is really good. I’m really happy, I just …” he trailed off. Hermione tilted her head and looked at him – “You just, what?” – “I just don’t know how happy he’ll be to see me, that’s all” he said with a sigh. - “Look, I don’t want to pressure you into something you don’t feel like doing. I just think that two of you should talk.” – “I know. It’s just right now is not the time for it. You guys go and I’ll just wait here. I’ll come by to see him tomorrow. I promise.” He gave them a smile. Draco raised his hand up to Harry’s face and stroked his cheek with his fingers. – “I’ll see you soon, love.
In a about half an hour, doctor walked out of the operation room. – “Mr. Malfoy is fine. We took care of his wrists and gave him plenty of blood replenishing potion. He should be on his feet again within a few days.” – “Thanks doctor" Harry said. “I knew you’d do your best. What is your name again?” – “My name is Dr Mike Peterson. And even though, I am glad I could be of help to Mr. Malfoy, I have no authorization to keep him here.” – “Fine” Harry exhaled forcefully. “As long, as you give us everything that’s necessary, we’ll take him home today.” – “Very well, I’ll make sure everything is ready for you Mr. Potter.” With that he turned on his heel and walked away with his head high. Harry shrugged his shoulders – “Why won’t you go fuck yourself, you’re miserable piece of…” – “Now now Mr. Potter, the man might be a git, but there’s no reason you should be walking around using that kind of language.”
Harry turned around to see professor Dumbledore and professor McGonagall. She shook her head in disapproval. Harry’s cheeks flushed. – “I’m sorry professor. I didn’t mean to…” – “That’s ok my boy. You don’t need to apologize” Dumbledore assured. "I’m sure there’s a good reason for it. Are you here to see professor Snape?” - “Um, well not really” he said sheepishly. “I mean, Hermione told me he has woken up, but I haven’t seen him yet. I am actually here with Draco. We got his father admitted about an hour ago, but we’ll be taking him back home soon.” Minerva looked at Albus with wide eyes. – “This man has no business being here, after all he has done.” Dumbledore looked at Harry with understanding.
– “That’s enough Minerva. The boy just told you that Mr. Malfoy will be transferred home today, so there’s no reason to fuss about it. Now, let’s go see Severus” and he gently pushed her forward. After opening the door and letting her in, he turned to Harry again. – “Don’t worry my dear boy, everything will fall into place when the time comes.” – Thank you, Professor. Now, can you please call Draco out so we could take his dad home?” – “Sure thing. And do come to see Severus. I feel like you have a lot to discuss.” – “I will. Thanks again Professor.”
