First of all I'm really sorry this is short. I really didn't mean for it to be but it was. Plus it looked longer on my other file so I didn't even realise it until afterwards. So here it is my dear readers! And please don't send flames please.

Lucius Malfoy flinched suddenly while in the middle of a meeting with the minister. Closing his eyes so that he may try to figure out why the hell he suddenly flinched. Pain erupted through his link to Severus, and he became instantly worried. Excusing himself from the minister's office, he opened up the link swiftly, only to be bombarded with Severus's sobbing. To say he was worried would be and understatement. He was shocked beyond belief. Moving swiftly, he slunk into his office, closed and locked the door both magically and manually, before he sunk down into his plush black and emerald high-back arm chair. Leaning back, he slumped against it with his eyes closed, all the while opening his link and trying to sooth his mate so he could tell him what was wrong.

"Severus, love, what's wrong?" Lucius asked, getting more worried by the minuet as his love's sobbing seemed to be getting worse.

"I-it's Harry, love, he could die at any moment and it would be all my fault! I didn't get to him in time! If he dies, then all of us would die, and it would be all MY fault!" Severus sobbed, clinging to himself as they rested within their mind-link room. Suddenly, the black/green door with a silver basilisk in graved into it slammed open. Standing in all his glory was Tom Riddle himself. He looked just as he had when he was in his late 30's - early 40's, and he held the attention of two of his younger mates easily. Their eye's widened in shock, love, and joy at the sight of their true dominate. Gliding forward, he knelt in front of the two other's in the room as he stared into their eye's with love filling his up to the brim.

"My mates. I have returned to you!" His voice was soft, yet it held pure joy at being once again reunited with two of his mates. Severus sobbed, lunging forward and attaching himself to the front of Tom's robes with tightly clenched fists and shaking shoulders. Lucius moved next with his head on Toms open shoulder and an arm around Severus's back. Tom held the two men in his arms as he closed his eyes.

"We need to get Harry away from the Old Man and away from the school."
