Chapter 2 to gain a daddy and a Papa
Severus swept through the halls of Hogwarts wondering what the hell Albus wanted at half past six on a Sunday morning; he hoped it was important considering he liked to cuddle up with Lucius on Sundays because it was they only day they got to themselves. He sighed as he got to the Gargoyle and muttered the password
"Liquorish Whips" the Gargoyle moved out of the way he moved up the revolving staircase that led him to the headmaster's door. Before he could knock he was told 'Come in' when he walked into the office he stopped short. Sitting on the floor playing with some colourful Blocks was little Harry Potter, the boy who had melted his ice cold heart. When the child heard the door open he looked up to see who had come in only to have his face split into a wide smile he dropping the blocks before hurtling himself at Severus's legs. He was picked up and placed on Severus's hip before he had the chance to crash into the man's legs. Severus looked up from the small boy who was cuddling him to stare quizzically at his employer. Albus smiled at the picture that the two made before starting to talk.
"Severus you may want to send for Lucius as what I am about to tell you will effect both you and him" this made Severus's eyebrows raise but he walked over to the fire and call for Lucius using the internal Floo system. After getting conformation that his husband would be through in a minuet he went and sat down on the chair still cuddling the content little boy on his knee. A moment later the fire place flared Green and the immaculately dressed blond stepped onto the rug by the fire. He smiled at his husband then looked questioningly at Albus when he saw the little boy on Severus's knee. Albus motioned towards the chair next to the one the Severus and Harry were in. Albus looked at the three and hoped that he had judged things right.
"Last night James and Lily called saying they needed my help with something; I automatically thought that they might need a baby sitter while they went out to another of their parties. So I took Remus with me because he wanted to see the twins but he cannot stand the thought of being alone in the same room as Sirius. However I was shocked when I arrived to see Harry sitting in the corner wearing nothing but rags similar to those the house elves wear. When I asked about the state he was in they said that they wanted him gone because they could not put up with him anymore.
"When I asked what they wanted me to do with him James said 'You can give him to Lily's sister Petunia or an Orphanage or the Giant Squid for all we care.'" He had to stop talking then because Lucius looked like he was about to explode. Severus quickly cast a silencing spell around Harry before his husband started to rage.
"How dare they treat a child in that way do they not know how special this little boy is. He is able to melt the heart of anyone he meets except those horrors that claim to be his family. Please tell me you are not going to send him to that magic hating Muggle" Lucius begged knowing the child would be abused if he was sent there.
Albus held up his hand in a placating gesture knowing that if he tried he would have the full weight of the Malfoy family name come down on him.
"Calm down Lucius I have no intention to send him to Petunia, I would rather give him to the giant squid that her. However Minerva and I cannot keep him because we are too busy with our duties as head and deputy. Remus also can't take him because of his condition and him being unmated. So I am stuck as to who will take him because it is going to have to be someone on the staff." Albus left the sentence open hoping that his boys would say they would take him so they didn't feel that he had forced them into taking the child. Severus looked down at the child in his arms then looked up at Lucius hoping he would see that they were thinking the same thing as he was, when he got a nearly invisible nod he looked to Albus.
"We are willing to take him Albus, can you set up the papers for us with the goblins and with the ministry. I don't know if we will use a blood adoption yet but if we do you will be the first to know". Severus said just as Harry who had been asleep woke up, upon seeing Lucius he held out his arms for a cuddle with him as well. Lucius smiled before plucking the child from his husbands lap and holding him in his arms. Dumbledore smiled widely before telling them he would sort out the papers and let them know when they were ready to be signed.
Lucius carried Harry as they left the office knowing that they had been played like a violin but that they would never let this little boy suffer. Looking at him Lucius remembered how the child had brought him as Severus together.
*Flashback*
Lucius would never admit it but he was brooding. First he had found out that his bitch of a wife had slipped a clause he never saw into their marriage contract which said that if they got divorced no matter who was at fault any child of their union would go to her. The problem was that he loved his son but not his wife and she had said that if he continued his affair with his long-time lover she would divorce him. So he had called things off with Severus breaking both their hearts in the process. Then the whore had still divorced him and taken his son, so he had lost everything that he loved in one fell swoop. To make matters worse he was covering for the DADA professor who had gone into labour early which meant that he had to see Severus every day and his heart broke a little more every time he saw the man.
Albus came into the room carrying Harry Potter who had had his third birthday three months ago and was chattering animatedly with the old man. It was then that he noticed the high chair beside his seat and knew that he would have Harry's company. As soon as Albus sat Harry next to him the child turned and pieced him with the most disapproving glare he had ever seen on a three year old.
"Why have you hurt Uncle Sev'" the little boy said crossing his arms. Once Lucius had stopped floundering he tuned and told the child.
"I wanted to keep my son and my wife was going to take him away if I didn't stop seeing your Uncle Severus."
"Did she keep her pwomise" Harry asked wide eyed.
"No she still took away my son after calling me a fool" Lucius answered honestly.
"Then why are you still hurting Uncle Sev'" grumbled the little boy.
"Because I don't think that he loves me anymore. What do you think?" He prayed that the little boy would give him the answer he wanted.
"He finks that you are a dundor head but he still loves you lots" Harry said firmly. This made Lucius heart jump into his throat. Without thinking he took the child into his arms and hugged him before the entire student body.
*End of Flashback*
It was only three weeks later that he proposed to Severus before the entire student body and when the man said yes he felt like he was floating on air. Severus had he had married when the students left for the year. When they arrived at their quarters they found a room had already been created for Harry by Hogwarts this caused them both to smile knowing that the castle loved the child as much as they did. Once they had settled him into bed they both went to the kitchen to get something to eat before the day started when the child woke up again.
"Do you wish to Blood adopt his Lucius?" Severus asked after several minutes. Lucius thought for a second before answering.
"Yes I do however he should get the choice because he has had one family who abandoned him he has to know that we love him before doing the adoption so he knows that nothing will make us change our minds".
Before Severus could answer a scream rang through their quarters, both men jumped to their feet praying that their new ward was alright.
Well there is chapter two complete I will try and update soon however I am a college student so my schedule is manic. Lucius and Severus will be Very OOC but so will everyone else. Sorry about the toddler talk I am not very good at writing it.
Don't forget to vote for Remus's mate three votes per chapter...Don't be shy.
Bye for now
