Where could he possibly be? I thought to myself as Severus, Tom and I met back up in the drawing room. Tom could see the distress on my face and put a soothing hand on my sholder.
"We'll find him Lucius don't worry. It's not like he could have gotten out of the house since he doesn't know where you keep the floo powder, and the wards prevent him from apparating which meens he's somewhere in the manor." He stated and I gave him a weak smile.
"Lucius, do you remember when we went to pick up Harry that we saw a cupboard with locks on it," Severus stated, and I knoded not quit sure where he was going with this.
"Well, maybe, this is just a hunch, that he could have possibly been living in that cupboard and if so wouldn't you want to hide in the one place you were most familiar with? Your room?" Of coarse why didn't I think of that? And I hit myself on the head in a coplete un-Malfoy manor that Tom just stared at me wondering what we were talking about. Without an explainastion or stopping to think of what I was doing I made a strait line dash out of the room and down the hall to the broom closet. As I got closer to the closet I could hear a weeping noise which must have been from Harry. The second I reached the door I wipped it open and was startled to see the boy rocking himself back and forth in the far back right corner.
"Please don't hurt me! I'm sorry! I didn't meen to do it!" Harry cried his eyes squeezed shut tight.
"Harry, it's alright, we aren't going to hurt you. We just want to talk." I said soothingly to the little boy in the corner. I embraced the crying boy and let him cry for a bit as Tom entered the cupboard.
"How is he?" Tom asked concurned dancing in his eyes. I just gave him a weak smile not capable of saying anything yet as I was concentraiting on Harry.
"Hey Harry, how do you feel?" Tom asked as he brushed his hand through Harry's thick, dark curls. Harry looked up at his once worst enemy; his face red from all the crying and eye's shining a beuatiful shade of green.
"Thank you" was all he said and gave a smile and I could see the pity Tom had for the boy who had grown up in a similar way to how he had. Tom smiled back at the boy in my arms and put a hand on my sholder.
"Lucius you are needed by the Order of the Flaming Chickens according to Severus" I nodded and looked down at Harry.
"Harry I have to go now but you are going to stay here with Tom. Okay?" He nodded but then said.
"Please don't tell Dumbledore where I am! I don't want to go back!..." I cut him off in the middle.
"Don't worry Harry, I won't let Dumbledore send you back to that rechent place," and with that I got off the floor and apparated out of the manor.
Tom's POV
"Don't worry Harry, Lucius will be back soon but for now he asked me to give you this," and I handed him the letter from Lily and the wooden box with the soal mate braclets.
"What is it?" He asked as he took the stuff.
"You should read the letter first since it probly will explain better than I can," and we sat down at the table in the dinning room.
A/N: If you would like to read the letter Lily wrote to Harry you can find it on my profile.
"Oh," was all he said after he was finished reading the letter for the third time in a row.
"So Lucius and I are soal mates?"
"Apparantly so," I responded as I felt a shift in the wards and Lucius entered the room and took a seat next to Harry. He bent over and whispered something into his ear stood up and apparated himself and Harry out of the manor leaving me once again confused as ever.
A/N: yay finished another chapter! Sorry it took so long I had exams to study for and I think I did pretty good (but I still have to wait to get the marks though). Anyway it's a little short but I am working on the next chapter and should have it up soon! Bye for now but keep smiling :D
