Chapter Nine – Uncomfortable Discussions and Trials
It wasn’t long before Arrigo was dragged into the Room of Requirement by Mia, Wally, Cora, and Scorpius. He figured something like that would happen as soon as they left the Headmaster’s office, however he didn’t expect to be ripped from his two lovers so quickly. He sighed as the familiar appearance of the Eighth year common room complete with the magical mural. He sat down on one of the silver upholstered chairs and looked around, “Okay, so I’m guessing you’ve made sure that no one else would be able to enter this room but us while we’re in it?”
No one answered his question but Scorpius rounded on him first, “What the hell have you been doing with my alternate’s life in this reality? Why would you have Draco born two years sooner than I was?”
Arrigo already felt a head ache coming on as he turned toward the group, “I wanted to change many things including the mistake I made with your father.”
“Lucius was never a father to me!” Scorpius spat as anger welled up in his usually cool eyes.
Arrigo looked at him with pity, “I know what you’ve been through Draco, but the Lucius in this time has yet to cause those things to happen. He cannot be held responsible for the mistakes made by your donor. It turns out that he was just as much of a victim as you were. Did you know that Lucius was trained to be a submissive from the time he was thirteen by the Lestrange brothers? Did you know it was those two who coerced him into joining the Death Eaters? Also, did you know that your grandfather wasn’t a loving man and treated your father horribly? Likewise the reason why your mother and father were married was because of a contract made by Abraxas before his death. If they do not have you by the time your father is 28, then it will break the contract and cause both your mother and father to suffer from some nasty side effects. I have learned so much about him since I arrived. I used the slave potion on him at first because I wanted him to pay for everything you went through because of him, but I discovered so much about him I did not know. Stuff that wasn’t even included in that book that Rita Skeeter wrote after your mother told her everything.”
“What of my mother? What have you done with her?”
“Oh Narcissa is quite happy with a couple of red headed twins. I do believe the two are keeping her quite satisfied. I would’ve never guessed that such a proud and dignified woman would be such a minx in bed.”
“You did no sleep with my mother!” Scorpius exclaimed grabbing Arrigo by his collar.
“No but I did warm her up so that your father could pump her full of his fertile seed. Do you really want to have this conversation right now Draco? How is any of this unwarranted anger going to help?”
He sat down in a chair and crossed his arms, “You know the things that I was forced to do while the Dark Lord resided in my ancestral home. You know what my own bloody uncles forced me to do in front of a room full of Death Eaters. You know the humiliation I’ve suffered and you have the audacity to call my anger unwarranted?”
“You know that’s not what I meant Draco,” Arrigo sighed, “but were you listening when I said that your uncles were the one’s responsible for your father taking that road in the first place. He no longer has the mark because of the slave potion. He is my submissive now and I have command over him. I won’t tell him to jump of a tower this time. I will not allow myself to hold that responsibility and guilt again. Do you believe even after everything happened, him living in that home without a wand and catering to the many Death Eaters that only saw him as a sex toy, that he was perfectly sane? He was broken Draco and then your mother told every dirty secret to that vile beetle. He had nothing left. Do you know what he bloody well called me in that tower? He called an 18 year old Master. He was so messed up he wanted his former enemy and man who defeated his forced master, to be his new master. The proud and private Lucius Malfoy was gone. You know how he was treated in class after that article came out. Not even the students would respect him any longer.”
“Just stop defending him!” Scorpius yelled before running out of the room.
Cora stood up and ran a hand through her long red locks, “I should probably go after him and calm him down. It will take time Harry, but he will eventually accept the truth.” She walked out of the room.
Arrigo ran a hand through his shoulder length black tresses, “I just don’t know what to do with him. Hermione, he’s going to be my adoptive son in essence. When the contract is finalized, Lucius and Narcissa are getting a divorce. The plan after that is for Lucius, Severus, and I to marry and Gideon, Fabian, and Narcissa to marry. Two very happy and permanently bonded Triads will exist and I will rid this world of Tom Riddle before the prophecy is ever spoken.”
Wally’s pale face turned bright red, “You’re going to bond with those two snakes?”
Arrigo shrugged, “You’re sister’s going to marry a Malfoy?”
“That’s different; you know that Draco’s changed. How could you marry the greasy git and the Death Eater slag?”
Arrigo jumped up with his hands clinched, “Do not speak ill of my lovers Ron. It’s not smart to anger me. I was responsible for both of their deaths and they deserve so much more than what I gave them. Severus deserved to be loved but instead he was neglected and abused as a child, just like I was. Lucius also felt the sting of an unloving guardian as his father was just as neglectful. They were both terrorized in school perhaps in a different way than I was, but we’re kindred spirits. They will be the carriers of my children and I will have the family I’ve always wanted. I will also have the opportunity to make sure Harry Potter this time around will grow up in a loving family instead of being shipped off to the Dursleys.”
Wally’s crystal clear blue eyes narrowed, “They did more to you than you’ve admitted, didn’t they?”
Arrigo slumped back into the chair, “I never wanted to admit to the true abuse. I know you knew about the starving and the imprisonment. You also knew about the list of chores I was expected to complete on little food, but I guess I left out the physical altercations. My uncle had a temper and whenever I didn’t follow his directions precisely, he had a heavy hand. Then again I was such a wafer thin person that he could snap me in half just by sitting on me. So no, my summer holidays were never peaceful and I never had time to complete my homework or study. My cousin did understand enough after I saved him from the dementor attack to apologize. I have no hope for my aunt and uncle but maybe someday he and I can be friends.”
“Do you ever plan on returning home?” Mia’s brown eyes focused on him as if analyzing his every twitch.
Arrigo shook his head, “No, I don’t think I’ll ever return. Here I’m not famous. I don’t have to worry about reporters or people staring at my scar. I don’t have to read the headlines about the ‘Savior of the Wizarding World.’ I have my lovers here alive and soon I’ll have more children on the way. I want a big family like yours Ron.”
The redhead rubbed the back of his neck, “Well, it’s not really as fun as you think mate. I only want a couple of children. I think my parents were half barmy having that many of us, but Mum had her heart set on having a daughter.”
“How long are you guys staying?”
Mia smiled, “Probably for a while as we want to be of assistance for you. Draco and Ginny will probably stay longer since Molly’s not dealing that well with their relationship. You know that horrible blood feud that’s centuries old.”
Arrigo shook his head, “I have to admit that I don’t know the Malfoy histories that well.”
“I guess it stems from a curse placed on the Prewetts after a Malfoy groom was jilted at the altar. The witch apparently went off and married a muggle, which angered the Malfoys even more. So, when her half-blood daughter married a Weasley the Malfoy curse was extended to them. It seemed to be pretty nasty and dealt with death at a young age and lack of monetary wealth. I believe Ron’s assistance with us saving Draco Malfoy in the Room of Hidden Things may have broken it. I do believe that life debts automatically break a blood curse. Of course another way of breaking such a curse is with a union of the feuding lines. So, if Ginny and Draco were to marry it should take care of it.”
“That is good to know. I planned on approaching the Weasleys after Ginny is born to negotiate a marriage contract between Draco and her. I really do believe they’re good for one another. His icy demeanor tends to offset her fiery personality. It’s really a match made in heaven and there’s no way I’d attempt to separate soul mates.” Arrigo admitted and his mind started to think about his infertility dilemma. He knew if anyone could figure out a way to assist him in locating the counter charm it would be Mia. “Um Hermione, I was acting my usual rash self and I may’ve casted a spell on myself that I don’t know the counter charm. It was an obscure one and I discovered that the counter charm wasn’t listed in the ancient text. Do you think you could research it for me and find the counter?”
Mia’s eyes narrowed, “What did you cast on yourself, Harry?”
“A temporary sterilization charm because I wasn’t ready for Lucius or Severus to get pregnant. I want to wait until Narcissa is further along before I knock Lucius up and I want to wait until after the N.E.W.T.s for Severus. He really will need Draco’s assistance next fall because he won’t be able to brew or inhale certain fumes. I just want to see that dark beauty round with child,” Arrigo sighed at the vision in his mind of a very pregnant Severus Snape.
Mia growled, “Where’s the book you found it in?”
He opened his billfold and pulled summoned the book before silently handing it to her.
“Really Harry, you should know better. This book is over five hundred years old. For all you know the book containing the counter curse may be lost. I’m sure it will take a bit of research and some time before I locate the counter charm. Of course another option is to have Severus work on this with me. I’m sure he could develop a counter charm.”
Arrigo shook his head, “No, I don’t want him knowing about that because I don’t want him to have a way to prevent conception. He will be with child when I am ready for him to be. The same goes for Lucius. I want to control that part of things. I want to determine how many children we have and when.”
Wally grumbled, “Great Harry, now she’s going to have her nose stuck in that book for the rest of the night!” His stomach grumbled, “Man I’m starved. Do you think we could head down to the Great Hall for dinner now?”
“Oh I should probably warn you two. You see, I’m in Slytherin so I’ll be sitting at their table. You may join Severus and me if you wish or I’m sure that my Mum would welcome you to the Gryffindor table.”
Wally smirked, “Wicked, we could hang out with the Maurders?”
Arrigo walked out of the door, “I’m guessing you’ll be sitting at the Gryffindor table.”
Arrigo slowly approached the fuming blonde sitting near Regulus at the Slytherin table. He took a seat across from the blonde and next to Severus, “Scorpius, you can’t stay mad at me forever, right?”
The blonde’s eyes went from molten mercury to glacial grey instantly, “I have nothing to say to you Arry. I’ve already shared my feelings with you and you’ve disregarded them. I still can’t believe you’ve chosen your perfect little pet over my friendship, but I guess an albino owl trumps bosom buddy any day.”
“Cory, you’re being immature. I know that you’ve been through a lot but so have I. I’m sure you don’t know that but a lot of us at this table have been through way too much. You should be thankful that you had who you had as your godfather. He made things so much better for you. If it weren’t for him, you may’ve shared the same fate as that albino owl as you prefer to refer to him as,” Arrigo scowled not knowing what to say to get the other wizard to cooperate.
“Why don’t you just stick it up your arse Scar Head?”
Arrigo grit his teeth, “Act your age. Where’s Cora anyway? Why isn’t she here to get your knickers out of the knot you’ve so wonderfully tied them in? Don’t tell me she’s decided to sit with her brother at the Gryffindor table?”
“You mean that you tied them in. If you hadn’t decided to betray me, none of this would’ve happened,” Scorpius pouted sticking his bottom lip out.
“I doubt that ever worked on your godfather and its most definitely not going to work on me. I love my little owl. He may have done plenty of things in the past, but he’s shown himself to be a perfect mail carrier. I’m not going to get rid of him just because of your relationship with him. Why must we continue talking in a circle? You’re mad, and you have every right to have that anger. I don’t expect you to run up and hug him out of nowhere, but I do expect you to give him the benefit of the doubt. At least consider the whole truth. Come with us to the bleeding trial and then perhaps you’ll get the closure you need and you can leave my bloody bird alone.”
“I’ll consider it Arry. Now shut your gob and start shoveling.”
Arrigo raised an eyebrow, “Is that the proper etiquette for a pureblood Delacour to follow? It seems more like something a blood traitor Weasley would do. Where have all your manners gone, Cory?”
“They flew out the window when my ancestral home was infected with leeches and poisonous snakes.”
Arrigo shook his head, “That must’ve been one hell of a flood.”
It wasn’t long after dinner ended that Lucius approached the four, “I’m to show you to your new dorm. Shall we retrieve Mr. Prewett from the Gryffindor table on the way out?”
“Professor Malfoy, you’re not speaking his name that way because of the blood feud between your ancestors by chance, are you?”
“No, that blood feud ended fifty years ago when a Prewett saved one of my ancestor’s life. I speak that way because I’m tired and just want to go to bed. I don’t want to walk over there an collect the boy, but we must because he decided to sit at that table instead of the same as you,” Lucius really did look tired.
Arrigo smiled, “Don’t worry Professor, I’ll get him to come over here.” The green eyed wizard cupped his hands and yelled, “Wally Walrus get your happy arse over here now.”
Wally scowled as he approached the group, “Walrus really?”
Arrigo shrugged, “Better than a Weasel or a Ferret, right?”
Wally smiled, “Yeah I’d hate to be called the incredible bouncing ferret.”
Scorpius paled, “Not funny. You don’t know how scarred I am from that event. He put me down that fat idiot’s pants. Do you know that he went days without washing? Yeah the stench alone could’ve stopped my tiny heart. Not to mention the damage my body incurred while that mad man bounced me off of several different hard surfaces. I was in the bloody hospital for a couple of weeks.”
Arrigo and Wally apologized in a singsong voice together, “We’re sorry.”
Scorpius covered his face with his hands, “You two are worse than Fred and George.”
Wally scowled, “It’s just George now.”
They managed to follow Lucius down to the dungeons while they bantered back and forth. The blonde professor stopped before a painting of a dark haired and dark eyed wizard brewing, “Prince, these are your new guests.”
“Ah, please do decide your password quickly. I must start siring soon and I have to count. Potion brewing is an exact art after all.”
Cory piped up with, “Dragon’s Blood.”
Prince smiled, “Yes and not to mention that far more uses exist than the ones that Dumbledore is noted for discovering.” He then opened showing a large room with five four poster bed with black linens.
Arrigo smiled ushering the three boys in, “How about you two get to know Reggie? I think that Severus and I will be sleeping elsewhere tonight.”
Severus shook his head no, “I think it’s better if I stay here with these guys. You know I’m not ready for anything like that.”
Arrigo’s eyes narrowed, “But the trial is tomorrow.”
“All the more reason for me to remain with Reggie,” he walked into the room and the portrait shut behind him.
Arrigo turned toward Lucius, “I guess it’s just you and me tonight. Do you think we’ll ever manage to get him to join us before the end of the year?”
Lucius shrugged, “Hard to say. Now let’s get going. I’m tired.”
“Still recovering from our holiday?”
Aurors dragged the two barely of age wizards into the courtroom before the full Wizengamot with Albus Dumbledore proceeding as the Supreme Mugwump. One had a thick mop of dark chocolate colored hair and a pallor complexion, which almost competed with Severus Snape. The other had brown hair with fiery auburn highlights, and a sun kissed complexion that contrasted heavily against his pigment less counterpart.
Madam Amelia Bones, who was the youngest witch or wizard appointed head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, asked the first questions. Arrigo couldn’t help but remember how fair that one member of the Wizengamot was when he was unfairly tried before the whole committee because he cast the Patronus Charm against Dementors when he was still underage. Arrigo wanted to grind his teeth when he noticed a younger Deloris Umbridge present as court scribe. If he had his way, and he was getting his way more and more during the current time, he would ruin that woman before she could ever be made Senior Undersecretary to the Minister of Magic. Speaking of which, he was surprised to see a woman sitting in the same chair previously occupied by Cornelius Fudge.
Arrigo was never one to stay awake in History of Magic, and he was sure if his dear friend Hermione was present that she would be talking his ear off about not reading Modern Magical History before he left, which would surely have the modern Minster’s of Magic listed. Of course he didn’t tell anyone what he planned on doing nor did he inform them that he found Salazar Slytherin’s secret sanctum and time portal hidden within the Chamber of Secrets. Then again that never stopped them from locating it and following him. He would most definitely receive an earful from Mia if she ever found out.
After each defendant was magically strapped to a chair in the center of the circular stone floor, Madam Bone’s spoke, “Please state your names and date of birth for the court.”
The pale wizard spoke first, “Lysander Ignatius Avery, born October 1, 1959.”
The auburn haired wizard spoke next, “Herbert Wulfric Hephaestus Mulciber, born March 31, 1960.”
The Minister of Magic was a woman with kind brown eyes and long blonde hair, “The two are accused of willing taking the Dark Mark, raping fellow Hogwarts students, using dark curses on fellow Hogwarts students, and forcing fellow housemates to take the Dark Mark. The violence and rape was against two individuals and the court has already viewed the victims’ memories. The court refuse to release the victims’ names as they were both underage at the time of the first assault and one is still underage and have been placed under a secrecy oath. Do either of you deny these charges?”
Avery spoke first, “Those two deserved every moment of our affection. One was nothing but a filthy little half-blood and the other was the brother of a blood traitor Gryffindor. Why shouldn’t we have executed our power over them, as Purebloods we have rights over those below our station.”
Mulciber sneered, “That MacDonald chit deserved that spell casted against her. How dare she consort with a Mudblood when she comes from such a pure line? Also she should’ve willingly submitted to my request to pull her skirt up and bend to my will like any proper pureblood witch when in the presence of a powerful pureblood wizard like myself.”
Madam Bones looked far beyond indignant at the two boys’ degrading statements, “Since these two have decided to further incriminate themselves, perhaps we should cut this trial short and vote Minister.”
The woman nodded, “Will all those who find the defendants guilty of all charges please raise your hands?”
Almost every member of the 50 seat Wizengamot raised their hands for the aforementioned wizards’ guilt and the Minister spoke up once more, “I, Evangeline Orpington, the Minister of Magic and spokesperson of the Wizengamot find both defendants guilty on all charges. The two shall be sentenced to life in prison for their heinous crimes against the Wizarding youth and to prevent them from future murders under their vile leader’s command.”
Arrigo took Severus’ hand as they quickly slipped out the courtroom’s doors before the press noticed them. He was in no mood to answer their inane questions, and he really wasn’t in the mood to deal with the press when he noticed a very young looking Rita Skeeter, who was in her early twenties. No one needed to know that Severus was one of the defendants’ victims and he would do the same for Lucius when they attended the Lestrange trial.
It was another day but the scene seemed far too similar to the last one. Arrigo sat in the same court room and the only difference was the man sitting next to him. Lucius was sitting in the same spot as his other lover only days earlier, and his future son sat on the other side of Arrigo. He watched the proceedings with a familiar feeling of accomplishment when both Lestrange brothers were sentenced to life in Azkaban. Bellatrix was soon to be next as the Lestrange Manor had been raided. Apparently the eldest of the Black sisters kept quite a bit of incriminating evidence in their humble abode. Then again she never thought that anyone would find the tortured muggles in the basement. Arrigo only kept a running list of known Death Eaters and their victims from his time and kept working toward getting them caught before they could do the most damage.
Scorpius was pale and silent beside them during the proceedings. He shakily stood and followed them out of the courtroom. As soon as he, Scorpius and Lucius reached the Ministry Atrium, Arrigo took his lover and friend’s hands and Apparated them back to the gates of Hogwarts. Upon the appearance of the gates, he noticed the tears spilling from his lover’s eyes. “Lucy, it’s over now. Those two can never hurt you again. No one will ever hurt you again love, and I will see to it.”
It seemed that moment of comfort and pure emotion on his father’s face sent Scorpius over the edge. The other blonde broke down and ended up sitting before the gates, hugging his knees while rocking. Arrigo slowly approached him, “Cory, it’s all over now. Those two can never hurt you again. No one will ever hurt you again; Lucy and I will protect you. Cora loves you and she’ll never let you go. You know this hart. Now stand so that we can get you back to Cora and she can tend to you.”
“Arry, I’m sorry I never believed you. I’m sorry that I questioned you. I never realized they were capable of doing that to others besides me. They made sure I believed that I deserved every moment of it. They wanted me to believe it was because I didn’t have the heart to kill. They wanted me broken, didn’t they? They wanted me to suffer and they wanted me to blame my father. They wanted to tear my family asunder and I allowed them to do it. I welcomed the destruction because it took the focus off of me. It was so much easier to blame my father for everything. I couldn’t see him as a victim because he was my greatest villain. He was the one that brought them into my home. He was the one that removed all of the happy memories from it by allowing me to witness such horrors. I really did hate him, Arry, but now I think I’m ready to forgive him.”
Arrigo smiled pulling his friend and future son into his arms, “Know you are loved and that everything will be fine. Those three are in jail and can never hurt you again.”
Scorpius wiped away the tears from his eyes and muttered, “Let’s get back to the castle before I melt from at the water vapor in the air. You know that’s what’s causing my eyes to shimmer.”
The other wizard smirked, “Because surely you’d never show emotion. The ice prince Delacour, you couldn’t let your reputation be ruined by a few stray tears, so it must be the water vapor in the air.” He helped Scorpius before turning back to a staring Lucius.
The blonde professor’s voice cracked, “Who is he? Why does he resemble members of my family?”
Arrigo shook his head and prepared for yet another lie, “He’s the illegitimate child of your father. After your mother’s death he had an affair with an unmarried Delacour. When he told him of her predicament he refused to believe the child was his and denounced the child. So, Lucy this here is your brother and the father he speaks of is the man his mother married when he was still young. However, that man never officially adopted him.”
Lucius’s grey eyes widened, “My younger brother? I have a younger brother.” He quickly pulled Scorpius into an uncomfortable hug, “I’m sorry that I wasn’t there for you. If I’d known that you existed I would’ve done everything to bring you home. I’ve always wanted a brother and you were there all along. I’m ashamed that I never discovered the truth. Things are different now and I promise to be there for you.”
“I forgive you,” Scorpius whispered into his father’s shoulder and the tears just wouldn’t stop falling.
Arrigo shook his head as he gave the two a bit more time before reminding them that they needed to go back up to Hogwarts.
A/N: Uneeded thank you for the suggestion, however I have to admit that “Rise of the Drackens” is the reason why I got my AFF account. I was reading it on that other site before everything went down and found it so more enjoyable with the wonderful love scenes included instead of edited out. I agree with you that it is just as epic as “There be Dragons, Harry.”
