Last Time:
Once Severus nodded, Nicholas started revealing everything about James' crush …
XXXXXXXXXX
After putting the coin in his pocket Lucius went off to the Great Hall for breakfast. A part of him wanted to look for an owl from the Prince family. Classes were actually delayed a couple hours because of the Aurors coming so it’s possible. However, considering everything happened just last night he wasn’t sure if Severus would be awake yet.
Much to his surprise there was a letter dropped on the table in front of the Malfoy, “Oh … well he knows now.” Lucius chuckled in amusement.
The letter revealed that Severus knows about James. Apparently, his grandpa felt it necessary to explain. Unfortunately, that also means Nicholas mentioned that Lucius knew about the whole thing.
Yes, that meant Severus was annoyed with Lucius. It was obvious in the letter. However, Lucius couldn’t help but find it hilarious. All he could do as he read the letter was picture his friend’s pout and that made it hard to take it seriously.
“You’re being watched.” An amused Regulus said.
“Am I now?” Lucius drawled lazily as he looked up from the letter. Just across the room at the Gryffindor table was James Potter. “So I see.” Lucius mumbled and took great glee in slowly setting aside the letter.
It was quite amusing to watch James’ eyes follow the letter. Even when the letter was set on the table next to his meal James’ eyes remained locked on the letter. Of course, that meant the Gryffindor had to stand up to see it.
Lucius nearly laughed when James was dragged back down by Remus and Sirius, “He’s a stubborn one.” He commented before eating his own breakfast. Once the meal ended Lucius saw James immediately head straight for him. “As expected.”
James, with Remus and Sirius scrambling to catch up, ran over to him, “Was that letter from Severus’ grandfathers? Is he ok?”
“It’s not from Severus’ grandfathers.” Lucius said, taking note of the disheartened look that took over James’ entire form. He watched James, but once Remus and Sirius caught up he shrugged. “It was from Severus himself. He’s doing much better now though he will have to deal with the bruises until the healers believe it’s safe.” Lucius said and subtly rolled his eyes at the sudden smile lit up James’ face. “I’ll tell you if anything new comes up.” He said indifferently as he turned to leave.
Despite being very busy with assisting in other duties Lucius managed to subtly search the castle. Technically he didn’t even have to do much either. All he did was attach the coin to the inside of his sleeve. With the coin hidden and always touching his skin he could feel every single signal it sent. That method inevitably directed him to an area that the coin wanted him to see.
Of course, with his position on the school’s staff he couldn’t investigate further right away. The worst were the fools blowing up cauldrons in the potions class. It was those classes and the flying classes where he was asked to help out. Of course, he did his job, but once the last class ended he focused on a different task.
“I have a few minutes before dinner and the Aurors are back so now would be my best chance.” Lucius said as he returned to his room to pick up the items he needed to complete his task.
When he opened the door to the room he and Severus shared he spotted the Gringotts issued items on the floo’s mantle. Lucius cast a charm on the pocket of his healer uniform. It was only to expand the inside and allow the pocket to hold everything necessary. Normally, he’d shrink his equipment to fit, but he didn’t want to risk shrinking the Gringotts items. You never know how enchanted items will react or get damaged when they’re altered magically.
The suction cup and bag were placed in that charmed pocket and Lucius left the room. While walking through the halls at a faster than casual pace the Malfoy almost made his way back to the spot where the coin reacted. However, he didn’t quite make it without running into someone and that was Remus, Sirius and James.
“Wait, Lucius.” Remus called out and the werewolf smiled when the healer stopped even though Lucius didn’t turn around. “What times will the Aurors be coming and going?”
Lucius glanced over his shoulder with a smirk, “Is it you asking or your father?” He asked bluntly and immediately saw Remus blush and Sirius laugh. That was all he needed to know. “In this next scheduled visit they arrive and leave just before dinner. There won’t be any more delays like earlier since they located everything in the castle. The actual act of sealing off the passages will go quickly. Each one will be sealed either right before breakfast or right before dinner so if your father needs to arrange something intimate it should be easy … even if it goes through the night.” Lucius said suggestively and started walking away.
Remus chuckled sheepishly at the implication, “Thanks!”
With a smirk Lucius returned to the hallway where the coin reacted before. To his surprise he saw the Aurors were already there.Yes, they were supposed to be closing off all the passages when students weren’t busy, but why this hall right this minute?
One Auror stepped forward to stop Lucius from going further, “I’m sorry, but we’ll be using powerful charms in this area so you can’t go near the Room of Requirement just yet.”
“The Room of Requirement, you say.” Lucius commented as he watched another Auror walk up and down the empty hall. After three passes an unfamiliar door appeared and Lucius felt the coin pulse faster. “I take it this was open to the outside.”
The Auror nodded, “Yes. That’s why we’re closing it off.” He said and as if to prove it the doors were opened to reveal that Gill was already inside.
“It was almost too easy to get in. Get started closing it off.” Gill ordered and as the Aurors rushed inside he noticed Lucius. “Came to watch?”
Lucius shook his head, “You should warn them to not touch anything if they can help it. There are some things that require Gringotts tools to touch in there.” He commented calmly suspecting that he didn’t need to explain any more than that and it seems he was correct.
Gill’s eyes immediately narrowed and went back into the formally hidden room, “Don’t touch anything if possible. Only focus on your task. Levitate things out of the way if you have to.” He ordered before returning to Lucius. “How many?”
“One for sure. The pulse got stronger once the door appeared so it’s definitely inside.” Lucius said as he watched the door close so the Aurors could work.
Gill sighed, “Poor timing on our part. We’ll be done soon. It’s not like we’re changing the room. Only making sure that it won’t open a path to anyone outside.”
“It’s rather unnerving how accessible this place is.” Lucius commented thoughtfully.
It never occurred to him before because he assumed the school was safe. Now he wondered if Voldemort knew how easy it was to just walk in. Perhaps he didn’t otherwise he would’ve had someone sneak in and try to get rid of Dumbledore. However, if he didn’t then why didn’t he seem surprised or pissed when Lucius made his report. Surely, learning that such useful things were there only to then hear that they’d be taken away before he could use them would piss him off.
Gill frowned when it seemed Lucius was concerned about something, “Is something wrong?”
“Perhaps.” Lucius said softly before finally turning to the Auror. “When I made my report … he was neither surprised nor angry.”
“Oh that. Sounds like it was quite casual … for you, at least. Don’t worry about that.” Gill said casually, almost implying that he knew of the interaction, but that someone else didn’t have a good day.
Lucius scoffed in amusement, “It’s like you were listening.” He commented realizing that the Gringotts mark didn’t just allow the goblins to hear. “Did someone not have a good day?”
“A rat in a hideout was strangely wounded.” Gill said calmly.
The Malfoy raised an eyebrow, “You just watched?” He asked curiously while wondering why the Aurors were only watching and not arresting him. It did please him greatly to hear that Peter is suffering, but he wanted the rat completely incapacitated. Preferably with everlasting pain.
“It’d set off alarms in the rat nest. Can’t have that happening … yet.” Gill said casually.
“I see.” Lucius said just as the door to the room opened. “I assume you’re waiting for all the pieces to come together.”
Gill hummed, “Precisely.” He said as his fellow Aurors filed out of the room.
Lucius smirked as he headed for the door, “I better hurry up with my task then. Good luck on your date, Agent Jackson.” He called back right before closing the door.
“Wait … what?” Gill gasped in shock. “I want him arrested! He has valuable information!”
All the other Aurors rolled their eyes or snickered. They clearly knew he was joking and just left. The werewolf didn’t care that much and immediately ran off to the nearest floo he could find.
XXXXXXXXXX
Lyall sighed as he thought about the danger that already took place at Hogwarts, “At least, everything is being closed off now.” He said as he remembered what Gill told him about what happened to Severus.
That’s when his mind wandered to another topic, which was what happened right after. Obviously, the Potters and himself were worried. After the decor discussion Euphemia and Fleamont went home while Lyall stayed at the sanctuary houses. Despite starting adding the desired decorations, Lyall made a point of writing to Remus just to make sure he was ok.
Of course, he didn’t expect Remus to answer back so quickly. However, Lyall was second guessing some of the wording in the letter. Among the panicked questions he asked when Gill was going to be finished with the sealing of the passages. The more he thought about it the more it sounded like he was hoping Gill had some free time and not just asking so he’d know that the Aurors were at the school keeping everyone safe. Admittedly, Lyall was thinking about that, but he didn’t intend to imply it in the letter.
“I'm an idiot.” Lyall muttered softly while wondering if his son would ignore the wording or not.
Almost desperately he shook his head to get the pesky thoughts away. When his mind cleared a little he focused on popping in the pretty counter and sink he made. The sound of the floo flaring up was the only reason he looked up from what he was doing.
“Lyall?” Gill’s voice was heard saying from downstairs.
Lyall blushed, “Up here!” He called out and his heart fluttered as the Auror’s footsteps came closer. “Did something happen at Hogwarts?” Lyall asked as he stood up to look at the Auror who walked in the bathroom.
“Nothing crazy. Do we have a date?” Gill asked bluntly.
Lyall’s jaw dropped slightly and a blush exploded on his cheeks, “How the … no, where did this come from?”
Gill immediately lit up when he heard the first part of Lyall’s comment, “I met Lucius while overseeing the team that was closing a passage at Hogwarts. He wished me good luck on my date.”
“Lucius?” Lyall commented as he tried to remember the name. Suddenly he recalled that Lucius was Severus’ healer and therefore on speaking terms with his son. “Remus might’ve mentioned the second letter I sent him. I asked him to figure out when you and the other were going to be in the school, but I only meant it to be for his protection! I just worded it wrong, I guess. I think Remus asked Lucius and that’s a guess on his part.” Lyall murmured with a blush.
Gill nodded for a moment before tilting his head to the side as he pondered something, “Hmm just a guess? Why did you start your sentence with ‘how the’?”
“Oh that.” Lyall stuttered slightly and smiled sheepishly. “I … I was actually thinking about that and I was wondering how you knew-Ah!” Lyall yelped as he was suddenly scooped up and set on the very counter that he just installed with his legs hanging off the edge. “Gill-“ Lyall gasped as the werewolf moved between his legs and held his hips firmly.
“What specifically were you thinking about?” Gill asked huskily while leaning in closer.
A shiver went up Lyall’s spine as he stared into the Auror’s eyes, “I … I was … I wanted to ask you out.” Lyall said quickly before his nervousness got the better of him.
“It’s a date.” Gill said and promptly pressed his lips to Lyall’s lips.
The werewolf’s hands slipped down from the hips and onto Lyall’s ass. With a firm squeeze Lyall let a moan slip out and it allowed Gill to push his tongue into the human’s mouth. As the kiss became much deeper one of the werewolf’s hands slid under the hem of Lyall’s shirt to caress the bare skin.
Once Gill felt Lyall squirm he pulled back a little bit and looked at the flushed human’s face, “Just say when.” He gasped just as breathless as Lyall.
Lyall felt the werewolf start to pull his entire body away and immediately locked his legs around the werewolf’s waist and gripped the Auror’s shirt to keep him from moving, “Dinner. Right after you secure Hogwarts. I’ll cook.” Lyall commented between pants and blushed when Gill smiled. “I owe you for the pancakes from before.”
“It’s definitely a date.” Gill purred and gently kissed Lyall again before leaving.
Lyall continued to sit on the counter for a minute. When he was sure he had enough strength in his knees to stand he finally slid off. As he got back to his project he silently thanked Lucius for bringing up the subject.
XXXXXXXXXX
Lucius smirked when he shut the door and heard what Gill said, “Go chat with your man instead of arresting me.” He muttered even though Gill couldn’t hear him and he couldn’t help but chuckle when he heard the Auror run off. “Good. Now where is it?” He asked seriously as his silver eyes scanned the towers of junk.
The gold coin pulsed faster and became more heated the closer Lucius got to the target. Once he narrowed down which tower it was he pulled out the suction cup. With a firm grip on the handle he skimmed over the items with the coin in his sleeve.
Lucius raised an eyebrow when he felt the strongest pulses the higher the coin went up the tower, “What would the chances be?” He mused as he looked at the small crown at the top of the tower.
It seemed stupid to put a horcrux in visible spot, but it was worth a shot. With only a slight touch the suction cup grabbed the crown. Lucius held the suction cup’s handle with one hand as he pulled out the bag with the other. Once the crown disappeared into the bag Lucius knew his guess was correct. After all, the coin stopped pulsing completely.
“I wonder if these will be picked up.” Lucius pondered when he placed the suction cup and bag in his pocket. As he went towards the door he felt a message come through and checked his sleeve.
‘If you can’t find another signal, place everything on the mantel.’
After dinner the spy went back to his room and put everything, including the coin, on the mantel of the floo as instructed. The next day everything was gone …
