Ten years later
September 1991
Platform 9 ¾ was bustling with excited new students along
with returning students. The eleven year olds stared in awe at the gleaming
fire red train that will take them to their new school: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardary.
Some kids stopped to ogle at Harry, whispering as they
passed by him. He moved closer to his brother for comfort. The young blond held
his brother’s hand to reassure him that nothing terrible would befall him.
Their father lowered himself to one knee as he straightened out invisible
wrinkles on their clothes.
“Now promise me boys that you will stay out of trouble?”
“We promise Father,” they chorused but the older male just
knew that he was going to be receiving a lot of letters about his sons’
behavior in the months to come.
“And if you don’t, you Uncles will inform me.”
“Will Orion and Sheridan be there?” Harry asked hope dancing
in his bright green eyes.
Lucius smile sadly at his older son. He missed Harry’s
quicksilver orbs. Again, Fudge had taken something else away from his family.
“Yes, you will see them on the train. Give me a hug.”
Lucius embraced them as if he was never going to see them
again. Each kissed him on the cheek and scampered onto
the train. He stood there moments after they disappeared from view.
“You have to let them go some time,” came
the low silky tones of his best friend.
The blond stood erect, smoothing out his trousers. “Yes,
you’re quite right, but nobody said that I had
to like it. And what about you, Severus?”
The Potions master smirk swayed
a little. “As well as to be expected.”
There was a hint of sadness to his voice but his face
portrayed indifference.
“I must be going. I’m sure that I will see you later,” the
blond pure-blood said.
Lucius Disapperated. He was
on his way to meet the Governors about adding another curriculum.
Over the years, Lucius and Severus had
depended on each other. Both with two toddlers each, Severus had
temporarily moved into the manor with Lucius and Lucien after Sirius was taken away.
When Madame Pomfrey informed him
on that fateful night so long ago, Severus didn’t have time to tell Sirius that
he was with child. Fudge had hauled Sirius off to Azkaban before Severus could
tell him that he was going to be a father again. By the time he was into his
fifth month of pregnancy, Poppy yet again delivered more startling news. He was
pregnant with twins for the second time.
Unfortunately, Sirius’ imprisonment caused Severus to
miscarry. The loss of the twins had caused
Severus to be come suicidal.
Poppy was concerned about him especially being alone in the
dungeons with young children. After talking with Dumbledore over the severity
of Severus’ mental health, it was decided that they needed someone to care for
the young professor.
The affects of Sirius’ imprisonment were
taking a terrible toll on the Potions master. His skin became swallow
and sickly looking. Severus had lost the golden
glow he had from being out in the sun. His once lustrous long hair became lank
and oily. Even his lively obsidian eyes no longer held warmth or love.
Only behind closed doors with his children did they look
alive. Severus was much thinner than usual. He kept his outer robe closed so no
one could notice how much weight he had lost. In
short, Severus was wasting away – it was only a matter of time before he
succumbed to the separation from his lover.
Madame Pomfrey said his fading
would end once Sirius was released from Azkaban and they were back together.
However, she also gave a worse case scenario – if Sirius died then Severus
would too.
During their meeting of discussing Severus’ condition,
Lucius thought of something that had been on his mind for quite some time.
oOo Flashback oOo
Hogwarts, June 1982
“If James is dead
Madame…” Lucius left the question hanging open. He still couldn’t believe that
his love was gone.
“You should be as
well, Mr. Malfoy,” Madame Pomfrey explained.
“Which means that
James is out there somewhere,” Dumbledore answered.
“So who in the bloody
hell did we bury?” Lucius asked,
hope growing in his heart again. Maybe they could
still save Sirius from an unjust punishment.
“Lily,” the Headmaster
replied.
“But
how?” Lucius questioned –
clearly astounded. How could they have made such a dreadful mistake as burying
James’ best friend and not James himself?
“The only thing that
I’ve come up with is James must have left the house leaving Lily with young
Harry. Upon his arrival back to the Hollow,
James was attacked. A bag of shopping was found
near-by but no body. The Minister dismissed it as a Muggle mugging or something
as such.
“Lucius do you know
why James would leave the house? He knew full well that Voldemort was trying to
kill him and Harry.”
Giving the question
some thought, Lucius replied, “He and Harry were sick when Draco and I left to
visit my Father. James always had a habit of going to the market for things. We
didn’t have a house-elf, so he pretty much did everything himself without the
use of magic.”
Then something else
occurred to Lucius. “Now, tell me if I am wrong about how a soul bond works, but shouldn’t my Father be dead
also?”
“No, Lucius you are
correct in thinking that. However, your Father
only had needed to immediately bind himself to someone he loved and cared for
of his same blood,” Dumbledore said looking at the tall blond over his half
moon glasses.
“You see those whose soul mate have died, die too, but there are some
who were able to live a healthy long life provided that they bind to someone
instantaneously following the passing of his or her mate.”
The ex-Slytherin eyes expanded to full size.
“Me?” Lucius answered
somewhat cautiously.
“Yes,
you, my dear boy. Lucien my
not even be aware of the bond, but he knows that he should have died with his
husband.”
oOo End
flashback oOo
And for nearly eleven years, Lucius searched the wizarding
world for his husband. Sadly, the aristocrat had been looking in the wrong
place.
oOo TBC oOo
A/N: Well, how was that? I’m happy that some of you figured
out that James is indeed alive, and no, Lily is actually dead. Will Lucius find
his love? Want to know? Well, stay tuned for the next chapter.

“Perhaps you can tell me the difference between monkshood
and wolfsbane?” Severus asked.
Silence.
“You don’t know?”
He shook his head negatively.
“Can any one tell me?” Severus looked around – several hands
shot up.
