Chapter 8: On The Way to Freedom 1
The week flew by in the Manor. The children were adjusting steadily and got along famously. James was close to Narcissa, who was always ready for game of chess or the like. Albus and Scorpius were with Draco like a second shadow. But surprisingly, Lily was closest to the Malfoy Patriarch! It shocked everyone when they found the little girl curled up in the elder's lap holding her little doll as she listened to him read a story or two. Narcissa and Harry cooed while Draco had to bite back a laugh. It was too adorable! Scorpius and Albus even snapped a photo or two with Draco demanding copies. Lucius just rolled his eyes and continued to tend to the little red head who stole his heart. He always wanted a little girl but that dream was dashed when the Healer said that his wife was unable to bear any more children. At first Lucius wasn't too crazy about the Potter-Blacks in his house but as time went, he grew fond of them, (although he wouldn't openly admit it).

He felt that Harry was given the short end of the stick, as the saying went, from day one. The child never had a choice in anything. He had seen the house he was left and Lucius was almost tempted to take him out of there. But he didn't for he knew that was what Dumbledore would've wanted. The old man tried to pass himself as a grandfatherly type but Lucius knew better. The man was far from grandfather material. The man was as fucked up as Grindelwald. He's denied it but Lucius knew how to read between the lines.

In their youth Grindelwald and Dumbledore had indeed been a couple and once had equal ideals. But when the Heir of Ravenclaw bent for blood purity and began his War, Dumbledore took up the mantle of his opponent. It resulted in tragedy and victory: tragedy for Dumbledore had to kill his lover and victory for a Dark Lord had fallen, thereby ending the War. Dumbledore wasn't the same after that, even succumbing to paranoia that one day another Dark Lord would rise and take Grindlewald's legacy. He wasn't wrong on that.

However, the man's sin was taking an innocent boy like Harry to train him as a Light Lord, similar to what Dumbledore was. Harry had never asked for the life he was told to lead. Was it really a life? Lucius shook his head. No, it was a means of survival. Harry may have become the Boy Who Lived but he never really did live. Although the times were dark and he made dreadful choices, Lucius did live, and so did his son. But Draco proved to be stronger than Lucius, by defying him when he felt it was right. In short, his son grew up without him. Lucius felt bittersweet pride in that fact. Draco broke his bonds. Now, it was time for Harry to break his.

He gathered his files and notes for court, the first case was tomorrow and Lucius allowed himself a smirk of dark pleasure. He couldn't wait to get his hands on the soon to be ex Mrs. Potter and Davis Jr for his own reasons. He, as well as a lot of people hated the girl. She was a gold digging little tart but he also knew that she would try anything to get what she wanted and fight to keep it.

Davis Jr, he wanted to crush for what he had tried to do to Harry. He was appalled at what the boy did and his father had the gall to turn a blind eye. He was going to enjoy crushing the father's legal career into dust. The man's legal career was laughable in comparison to Lucius'. Even in their school days, Davis Sr. didn't hold a candle to Lucius. Lucius was too cunning, intelligent and never missed a trick. Nothing got past him, which made him quite a threat. Beautiful but Deadly as someone once called him and the irony was, it was the damned truth!

This was to be the beginning of the end for the soon to be former Ms. Potter and her paramour. Lucius planned to leave the bint with absolutely nothing, her reputation in shambles and her vaults empty. As for Davis Jr, his family would be disgraced and his father's practice, ruined. Lucius looked the Potter-Blacks who were chatting merrily with his wife and son and Lucius decided at that moment, that they were worth his time and effort.
Harry proved to be a quiet, yet loving man. He was always ready to listen and help his children in whatever he was able. He recalled that the young man was even a godfather to his estranged cousin in law's only son. Teddy and Andromeda adored Harry and the children and were ready to battle to the death if necessary for them. The children were an absolute joy and he knew that Scorpius would be crushed once they moved away. He was sure to remind Harry and the children that although they would move that they were always welcome at Malfoy Manor.
After breakfast, the Malfoys and the Potter-Blacks took a family outing to a magical zoo and the dragon reserve in where the children's Uncle Charlie worked. Everyone, even Lucius, enjoyed themselves. But the most memorable moment for the older blonde, was watching his son and grandson interacting wIth Harry and the children, all sitting together on the lush green grass under a big tree, with the adults sitting side by side, the smaller children on their laps while the bigger ones were on either father's side, watching the sunset. Narcissa managed to capture that moment of familial bliss and even gave Lucius a copy in secrecy. The older blonde didn't hesitate in framing it and placing it on his desk. Draco would have to rip it from his cold dead fingers before he'd give it up. It was his favorite.
The mixed family made their way back to the Manor and everyone got ready for bed. Lucius watched as his son and Harry put the children to bed and bid each other goodnight. He was a lot of things, but a fool wasn't one of them. His son had fallen for the family and knew that his son would do anything for them, even wait as long as Harry needed. It was all a matter of time before they had the family they both wanted and deserved.

The next morning, Lucius looked at the clock and nodded. It was 7:00 am. It was three hours before the battles would begin and everyone knew that although Harry was being brave for his family that inside he wanted to scream. Lucius was dressed to kill with his smoky gray suit with royal purple vest, tie and black mirror shined shoes. His white blond hair was tied in the usual low ponytail. He made his way to the dining room, where the children and his wife and son and a busy Lord Potter Black who was once again slaving away in the kitchen, bid him good morning. He nodded and took his seat, opposite Draco's.
"Father, is this going to be a long day? Back to back to back cases?"
"It shouldn't be my son." Lucius replied as he poured himself some tea. "That would only happen if the cases went quickly. I don't think the children's mother would be so compliant."
"Father, could you get her to settle?"
"Draco, I will not rush this. I will do my job to the best of my ability. I always have. Law is not a practice to be rushed. If done wrong, things can get messy." Draco understood this and nodded. He wanted revenge for the ones he claimed as his own. The she weasel never appreciated Harry or the children and that alone made Draco's blood boil. They were to be cherished and treasured and that's exactly what Draco intended to do once they were free and settled into their new home and lives. After what seemed to be five minutes, Harry sat down to his own breakfast but he was very quiet. Lucius noted that the younger man was a bundle of nerves. He couldn't blame him. He was confronting two people who hurt him deeply in a few hours. He gave him credit, for if it had been him, Lucius knew he'd be screaming.

"Mr. Potter, I know this is a lot for you, but it needs to be done. The sooner this is passed you, the sooner you can begin your life again." Harry looked at the patriarch and nodded in silent agreement. As soon as they were done with breakfast, Harry and Lucius bid everyone goodbye and made their way to the courtroom.
Ginny and Roger were in their own little room with their lawyer, Roger's father. Davis Sr. paced up and down the room, reviewing his notes, trying to find a way out. There wasn't one and he was becoming more and more pissed by the moment. He knew that his son was mixed up in trouble ever since he brought the meddlesome red head home. He knew that she was married to the Savior and had children but he had turned a blind eye to everything for the sake of his son. He wanted to give his son everything and he tried. But Roger was like a bottomless pit, he was never satisfied.
When he read about what the red head had done to her family, he yelled at Roger, demanding that he break it off with her. Roger refused and even said that the scum deserved it. This made his father angrier but in fear of losing his son, he agreed to defending the red head. Then when he heard what Roger had tried to do to Harry, Davis Sr. wanted to flip. He couldn't believe that Roger would do something so stupid just for a girl.
"I've been giving this a lot of thought." He began carefully, looking at the couple. "Your actions are atrocious and cannot be swept under the rug."
"Father, you said that you'd defend us."
"Yes I did, and I still will as best as I can, but you must realize what's at stake here. If I lose, we all lose. You and Ginevra will face Azkaban and my career will be ruined. Does that even matter to you Roger?"
"I want Potter to pay for the pain he's put me and Ginny through."
"Roger, you acted as you had for no reason. Harry had done nothing to you and as I recall, it was Ginevra who tried to kill her own family. Your best course would be to plead Guilty and face the consequences. All I could do, is cushion it."
"No Father, get us free."
"Roger that is not possible!" His father argued. "Ginevra already committed a crime, one that she will surely get Kissed for and you almost raped the Savior. You're lucky that the Malfoy boy just smashed your face in. His father will crucify us if we continue this." Roger growled but it was Ginny who went ballistic.
"You filthy liar! You said that you would defend us, that we would get the freedoms and riches entitled to us!"
"I never said that so I don't know where you got that from." Davis Sr. said as he looked at the clock. It was ten to ten. He closed his files and after tucking them under his arm, allowed himself to take a deep breath. It was time to kiss his career goodbye. He could hear Lucius Malfoy laughing already. The Aurors arrived and took hold of Ginny and Roger, leading them out to the courtroom with Davis Sr. following them. They were placed on their side and didn't have to wait long. Harry and Lucius arrived shortly after them and Davis Sr. gulped. In the courtroom, Lucius was like a great white shark and he was chum. The rest of the officials filed in and when the Chief Warlock arrived, everyone knew it was showtime.
"Please be seat, this court is now in session. The first case is Harrison James Potter Black vs. Roger Niles Davis. Mr. Davis, you are charged with attempted rape and assault as well as battery, how do you plead in this court?" Roger was about to say 'not guilty' but the look on his father's face changed his mind.
"Guilty." He said. Lucius quirked an eyebrow but allowed his dicta quill continue taking notes. "I was pissed that Ginny was imprisoned while her husband was happy and free. She deserved to be at home with me. I blame him for what he did to her...."
"Mr. Davis," Lucius interrupted coolly. "Were you ever aware of what your paramour had done to her family?"
"She did say she went to confront Harry."
"Was that all she told you?" Lucius questioned. "And if so, didn't it seem odd that she smelled of smoke and all?"
"She told me she used the Floo."
"Interesting but we'll reassume this on her case. This is about you. Knowing that something was wrong, you decided to act upon blind anger rather than investigate deeper into the matter?"
"Yes I did."
"Are you aware of what will happen to you if found guilty?"
"I'm sure you'll toast about it later." Roger sneered. Lucius wasn't fazed in the least. With a wave of his wand, he called forth a Pensive and removed a vial from his breast pocket.
"With the court's permission, I would like to submit Mr. Potter's memory of the day in question for our viewing."
"Permission granted." The Chief Warlock said. "Proceed Mr. Malfoy." Lucius nodded and poured the contents and projected them for all to see. Luckily there were no children in the courtroom. Harry looked away with his eyes closed at Lucius felt for him but knew this had to be done. Everyone was appalled at how Davis treated Harry and what he tried to do to the smaller man. When it was over the Chief Warlock was fuming.
"Jurors, do you have your verdict on hand?"
"We do Your Honor, we find Roger Niles Davis, guilty of all charges."
"Mr. Davis, you are hereby sentenced to life in Azkaban, maximum security with no parole. Take him away." The Aurors removed a screaming pleading Roger out of the room, leaving a fuming and secretly plotting Ginny alone. Davis Sr. bowed his head in shame. This was the first blow. He couldn't even defend his son. The memories were concrete and there was no way to counter that.
"We will have an two hour recess. Afterwards, we will move on to the next case." The Chief Warlock stood up and made his way out, followed by the others. Harry and Lucius made their way to owl the news to Draco and the family before heading to lunch.
"I feel sorry for Roger's father." Harry said softly as he picked at his lunch. "No one should lose their child."
"Mr. Potter, although I understand your feelings I don't sympathize." Lucius said as he ate his lunch and looked over his notes for the next case. "Everyone makes their own choices in this life and only they themselves have the power to change the outcomes." Harry sighed and nodded. Once again, the Malfoy Patriarch was right.
After their lunch and owling Draco and Narcissa of the verdict, both men went back into the courtroom with time to spare and look over their notes and discuss the next case. They both knew that Ginny was not going to fight fair and it was time to step up their game.
"Mr. Potter, this next case will not be so easy, for she may try anything to degrade you. What do you want out of this case?"
"Full sole custody of my children, a divorce, she leaves with absolutely nothing. She is to leave me and my children in peace. I would also like to press full charges of attempted murder in the first degree and arson, as well abuse, physical, mental and emotional. Did I miss anything?"
"Child negligence and endangerment but other than that, no. We will get this Mr. Potter. I only ask for one thing in return." Harry sighed. He knew this was coming.
"If it's in my power I'll grant it."
"Just take care of my son and grandson will you?" Lucius asked. Harry blinked in surprise before nodding. Lucius allowed himself a small smile before returning to the task at hand. Both men agreed that it was going to be a bumpy ride but then again, since when was the path to freedom ever an easy one?

Sorry I took so long with this. There's more on the way!
