Chapter 8

Within five minutes minister fudge and five Aurors including Kingsley Shacklebolt and Mad-eye Moody made their appearances. The first things that they saw were the dead body of Narcissa Malfoy and an overly pale boy in a chair curled up in a ball and rocking as if his world was about to end. “What is this?” spluttered fudge. Looking about in horror the fat little man was about to continue on when the boy started making gasping noises, apparently hyperventilating, this however was not what made all in the room stare in shocked silence; no, it was the fact that haughty and cold Lucius Malfoy, death eater extraordinaire got up from behind the desk and rushed forward to pull the boy into his arms and started to speak soothingly to him.

“Shhh, Eiri, calm down. You are safe, nobody will hurt you here. You’re safe. I’ll protect you, and they will never get you again just calm down… try taking deep breaths, that’s it. Just keep that up…. Good boy.” This kept on for several moments until the boy finally started to calm down, but then he burst into tears, a few minutes later he fell asleep in Lucius’ lap, head cradles against his broad chest.

            Kingsley and Moody shared a glance of shock with each other; Moody turned back to the scene in front of him and took a step forward, only to be interrupted again by fudge. “WHAT-“ Lucius shot the man a glare that silenced him. “If all of you would take a seat I will explain what is going on, however, as this is extremely confidential family information, Minister Fudge, I would ask that you select your two most trustworthy Aurors and send the rest on their way.” Fudge, remembering all the past campaign contributions to him, nodded and selected Moody and Kingsley. The rest left after gathering the body of Narcissa, still feeling shell shocked at the sight of a caring Malfoy.

Lucius took a deep breath and gestured for them to take a seat, fudge and Kingsley sat in the chairs in front of the desk and Moody flat out refused to sit at all; Lucius a little stiffly got up and placed the limp form of his “cousin” on the couch then took his place on the far side of the desk.

“To make you understand what happened here this morning, I will first have to explain a bit about Eiri over there, and his brother who is upstairs right now with my son. You see what many people do not know about my family is that twenty-six generations ago, there was a split that was deemed irreparable between members of the family; we were larger then, and a group of Malfoys left for France to put distance between the feuding factions and allow both sides to live their ideals. We here in England all but forgot about them. Eighteen years ago one of the French Malfoy women fell in love with and married a noble of the incubi. The first child she bore him, conceived after two years of marriage did not carry the incubi genes and so could not carry the incubi’ title and the rest of the incubi were satisfied that their lord would someday choose one amongst them as his heir.”

“However, ten years ago Halloween, Eiri here was born, and it was as clear as his fathers eyes in his face that he carried the incubi genes and that upon maturity would be the heir to his fathers title. After that there were about two assassination attempts a year on the child. After several failed attempts someone got the idea that perhaps if they held the older brother for hostage they would be able to force their lord into choosing from among them. Upon hearing of this plot neither of the children was allowed to leave the house thereafter. They had tutors, only the best and were kept learning so that they would not notice the things that they were missing, such as friends. About six months ago Sophia and her husband finally decided that enough time had passed since the last attempt on their children’s’ lives that they could go on a small vacation to the beach so that the children could play outside for a while. Whilst they were at the beach Farrell was suddenly stunned and Sophia and her children were attacked, Sophia was killed instantly; Perry fought to protect his little brother, he still bears the scars; but Eiri here… he was captured, they took him and apparated away just as his father broke free of the spell upon him.”

“He had to rush to save Perry; there was nothing he could do for his younger son. They tortured the boy for a month solid, he was nine years old then, and he had never harmed a single person; I spoke with everybody I could find who knew anything about the family. He was the gentlest person they have ever met. When Farrell finally found his whereabouts, he rushed there and managed to get them back to their manor before he collapsed from his injuries. It was truly lucky that he had had the foresight to have a healer waiting for them in his study, or Eiri would have died as well, his body is covered with scars.” Here Moody’s magic eye whirred over to the boy, and in his head he was feeling distinctly shaky, some of the wounds that boy had had were so bad that he couldn’t help but wonder how a nine year old boy had survived.

Lucius took a moment to compose himself; however Fudge, being the eternal embodiment of idiocy spoke up here. “Well that’s interesting and all but precisely what does this have to do with anything?”

Gritting his teeth, Lucius continued “Farrell died of his wounds a week later. Now the amusing part of this little story is that it wasn’t the incubi that carried out this particular attack, after having a chance to get to know my… I suppose I could call him my nephew, though it is more distant than that; they decided that he would make an exemplary lord and ceased their attempts to kill him. It was the humans that deciding that magic was evil, and what made it worse is that a local wizard who was refused a tutoring position that cast the spell that stunned Farrell and left his family defenseless. It took the authorities in France 5 months to come to me and request that I take over the care of the two of them…I agreed, Malfoys stand by family. I met them at Gringotts yesterday and filled out the paperwork to become their legal guardian.” Here he went into the story that Eiri gave him; it was mostly the truth after all.

            Fudge appeared quite shaken at the end of this. Kingsley was pale and staring with a horrified look at the little boy on the couch and Moody appeared murderous; but at the same time he appeared skeptical. “No mirror has ever cast the killing curse off, how did this one do it?”

Lucius looked the Auror straight in the eye as he answered. “I have no idea, you are welcome to take it with you and study it for yourself, I wasn’t expecting it to reflect the spell, I was expecting it to get hit, possibly shatter; and leave Eiri alive.” Moody was a bit surprised that he would be allowed to examine the mirror. And said as much. Lucius gave a faint twist of his lips in reply and gazed at Eiri. “It saved his life… imagine if there is a way to stop the killing curse.”

Moody was beginning to think that there must be something special about the kid on the couch. Before he could ask anymore questions though Fudge burst in again. “What are your plans now?”

Lucius, still gazing at the still form of Eiri sighed, “I think that once you three leave I will inform my son of what happened with his mother, and then I am going to take my family traveling, see if I can’t get them over this… Eiri has to go to school in a few months and he hasn’t even had a real chance to recover from his first little captivity; and now this…” he trailed off.

‘I don’t think I have ever seen this man look so human… that boy may just be what he needs to straighten him out.’ Kingsley thought to himself. He continued to watch for a few minutes as Moody continued to ask questions, Fudge continued to posture and Lucius continued to stare worriedly at the little boy sleeping on the sofa. Just then another boy walked in and saw the boy on the couch; the tear streaks that were drying on his cheeks and the utter stillness of his small frame. The boy looked anguished and bellowed.

“Eiri! Please be alright, wake up; please… don’t leave me alone.” It drew into a whisper as he ran toward the still boy. He threw himself to his knees at the side of the boy and gathered him into his arms, crying softly as the boy stirred and whispered “Perry?” suddenly realizing what his brother thought, he sat up and wrapped his arms around the larger boy, holding him tight and whispering reassurances.

Kingsley watched the scene for a moment, then remembering the comment made earlier about Eiri’s eyes he twisted himself until he could see them clearly and he was stunned by the beauty of the orbs and the gentility held within. He had never seen a color that clear, he was transfixed until the boy closed his eyes for a few moments and finally got his brother off the floor and onto the couch where he had been laying minutes before. Moody noticed the expression on Kingsleys face and felt his suspicion skyrocket. He glared at the two boys on the couch whispering to each other. ‘It is not at all normal for Kingsley to show emotion. It is unheard of for him to show shock and be enraptured. And why is that brat so calm. He nearly died.’ Moody found that this raised even more questions. Unfortunately in his mind; Fudge made it clear that they were all leaving. Before he left he glanced back at the boys and found Eiri gazing at him solemnly after them; something about the steadiness of those blue-green orbs sent a shiver down his spine.
