PART 2: Home
Lucius had just spent the last five minutes lining up his shot and he had just taken it when suddenly a blinding pink light appeared in front of the hole. As he and Draco, who had been inspecting his nails, turned away from the light, a body materialized onto the green.
As the two blondes blinked away the light, they recognized the form as a human but other than that they had nothing to go one since it was curled up on itself and they couldn't see anything identifying.
'Draco, go call Severus, please,' Lucius requested as he tried to examine the body more closely.
Draco suddenly sneered as he caught sight of messy dark hair. 'I think we should just toss it in the river and be done with it,' he offered, his disgust clear as day.
'Go call your uncle,' Lucius snapped as he tried to keep his temper in, 'and tell him to bring his med kit.' The boy had been doing nothing but putting Harry Potter and half-bloods and muggleborns down since he got home and Lucius had had enough on the first day but nothing he did seemed to stop the brat. Lucius gave a silent sigh, it was his own fault he supposed, he really shouldn't have gotten so immersed in the role he had played.
'Fine,' Draco barked as he stormed away, 'but I'm going to Blaise's for the rest of the holiday.'
'Fine!' Lucius snapped, glad he was busy with the boy on his green because he might have just hexed his brat of a son.
Lucius gently rolled the boy onto his back as he whispered words of comfort to the boy, his face was so badly bruised and covered in ash that he didn't recognize who it was.
Lucius was about to pick him up when the boy whimpered, 'you're safe child,' the blonde murmured before casting a stabilizing charm on him and once the young man was settled in Lucius' arms he headed into the manor.
The young man curled into Lucius' chest as he fisted the expensive shirt tightly.
'Lucius?' Severus called, as he looked for him.
'Here Sev,' Lucius called back as he headed up the stairs.
'Where's here?'
'The stairs.'
'Are you alright?' Severus asked as he appeared at the bottom, half expecting to find the blonde sprawled on the floor at the bottom of the long staircase.
'I'm fine, but this young man isn't.' Lucius replied as he kicked open the door to the spare room next to his.
'What happened? Draco just told me you needed me with my med kit then he said something about Zabini and vanished.' Severus asked as he set up his supplies.
'We were golfing and-'
'Sev!' Remus called suddenly from the rooms below.
'Up here,' Severus called back, as he began to run a scan on the boy, not actually looking at him.
'I really need tighter security,' Lucius mumbled.
'I found him!' the werewolf announced as he came skidding into the room.
Severus head shot up so fast Lucius thought it might pop off, 'what where?'
Remus would have answered had he not been staring at the boy on the bed.
'Oh no,' he whispered as he cautiously moved toward the boy, as if he was approaching a startled animal.
Severus looked back at the boy and actually took in his appearance and actually stepped back in what Lucius could only describe as horror.
'What?' Lucius asked looking from Severus to Remus in confusion.
Remus moved to sit next on the edge of the bed and gently brushed the hair from the boys forehead to reveal a unique scar, 'it's Harry,' he offered.
Severus, who had been studying the parchment he had received when his scan of Harry was done, swore colourfully.
'What is it?' Lucius asked looking to his friend in concern.
'From this it seems that none of his wounds that he got in that battle were healed before he was sent off to wherever it was the esteemed headmaster sent him off to,' Severus replied, a steely glint of anger flashing across his eyes.
'What?' Remus looked up from Harry, his eyes a dangerous golden colour.
A whimper from Harry brought the werewolf back to him and he muttered soothingly to the boy who may as well be his son.
'Albus did nothing to help Harry at the ministry or afterwards. He has several injuries both old and new and he is severally malnourished,' Severus replied through clinched teeth.
Remus stood and wrapped his arms around Severus' middle and kissed him softly, 'let's heal him first before you gallivanting off to avenge him, hmm?' he asked softly.
The anger seemed to fade from Severus and he sighed, 'fine, Wolf, but we will be visiting those people and that man,' he replied as he relished in the closeness of Remus.
Lucius didn't bother to hide his smirk, it had been a long time since he'd seen it but Remus had always had a calming effect on his long time friend.
'Shut up,' Severus growled at Lucius whose smirk became a snicker. Remus, who was also highly amused, reluctantly pulled away from Severus, 'such a witty comeback.'
'Go fetch some water,' Severus replied as he gave Remus a gentle push towards the bathroom.
Together the three worked at healing Harry and a few hours later, Harry was in much better shape than when he'd arrived.
'His injuries wouldn't be so bad if he'd been able to eat regularly,' Severus commented as he sat on the couch with Remus, who now that Harry had been found seemed much lighter.
'I just wish that he hadn't needed healing in the first place,' Remus commented.
'You can't have everything,' Lucius replied sardonically.
Remus simply glared at him, causing Lucius to laugh, 'just wait,' he threatened as he ever so maturely stuck his tongue out.
'Mature,' Severus commented dryly.
'You're just disappointed you didn't think of it first,' Remus sort of pouted.
Lucius laughed and Severus sort of smiled.
'Can you clean him up while we go get his things?' Severus asked as he gently kissed Remus.
Remus nodded, but looked to Lucius in mild confusion, 'do you know why he's covered in ash?'
Lucius shook his head, 'but I'm sure we'll find out.'
Severus and Lucius left Remus to cleaning up Harry as they headed back to the Dursley's to find his things.
They hadn't been able to find it when Harry had been there but now that Harry had left and basically shattered the wards that kept him and the house hidden it was quite easy to find.
