Hopefully this chapter will make up for the cliffie in the last one.

This picks up right after Lucius wakes up, and Hermione comes in with more information on the Siren heritage. A little spark comes a long way, especially for our favorite boy who lived.

I don't own Harry Potter.

Enjoy!

"Mr. Malfoy?" Harry watched as the elder Malfoy slowly sat up in his bed. "Oh don't move so fast you're injured."

"W-Wha…?" the man clutched his throat.

"I'd better get Healer Jones, I'll be right back." Ron ran out of the room quickly, and Harry just stared at the stunned Lucius.

"I know you probably don't remember much, but more will be explained once the healer returns." Lucius nodded, and then Kingsley, Severus, Hermione, Ron, and Healer Jones all came back in.

"You're awake Mr. Malfoy, good." Healer Jones produced a glass of water and handed it to him. "You haven't had decent water in a few days, this will help your throat." Lucius drank it down, then gasped and set the cup aside.

"Where…where am I?"

"Please be careful as you speak, your jaw is slightly out of place." Jones walked over and checked over his bandages. "You're at St. Mungo's, you and your son were transported here from Azkaban a few days ago."

"My son…Draco!" Lucius spotted Draco, still unconscious in the bed next to him. He tried to get up but Jones held him back.

"No Mr. Malfoy no sudden movements." Lucius cried out and held his side. "You're cut up badly, and you have a few broken ribs. We'll get you fixed up in no time, for now I suggest you take it easy until I can get the proper potions." Jones turned to the rest. "I think it's best if we give Mr. Malfoy a little privacy…except for you Mr. Snape I think you can brief him on what's happened."

"I'll stay too." Harry stood next to his dad.

"Very well, everyone else please come with me Minister I can tell you more about his treatment. Everyone else I suggest you go home for now."

"Ron and I will head back to my parents' house, we'll come back in a few hours."

"Alright Mione, I'll see you later." Both of his friends gave hugs and then left with Jones and Kingsley. Harry sat down in a chair across from the two beds, while Severus pulled a chair next to the bed.

"How do you feel Lucius?" the blonde glared.

"Like my body's been shattered and hopelessly sewn together, how long have I been here?"

"Didn't you hear the healer? You were brought here a few days ago after one auror forgot to release you and Draco beforehand. They said you were attacked in the prison, and put up a good fight."

"Attacked…?" Lucius looked away then his eyes widened in realization. "That's right…" his head bowed lower.

"You're going to be fine, you just need treatment and if Draco wakes soon he'll be alright too." Severus touched his arm.

"Draco…" he whispered.

"Lucius, what's the last thing you remember?" Harry stared at his dad, wasn't it a bit early for that?

"I…It was in Azkaban, I was in my cell when they came for me. I don't know how…but they had Draco and he, he was hurt bad. I tried to help him, but they jumped me…"

"Do you remember who?" Lucius shook his head, then spotted Harry.

"Why's he here?" silver eyes glared, but softened in defeat.

"He's…" Severus stared at Harry, who nodded. "He's my son." Lucius' eyes widened.

"Your son, don't be absurd Severus." onyx eyes glared.

"I'm not, Harry is my biological son and as impossible as that sounds it's the truth." Lucius seemed disbelieving, but with a few glances back and forth he sighed.

"I can see a slight resemblance, but how is it you never mentioned this before?"

"Dumbledore." Harry whispered. "It's a long story, but Dumbledore's a main part of it." Harry's eyes darkened at the words, and Lucius seemed to understand.

"I always knew that meddlesome old fool had some secret to all this." He snarled.

"Well he had no part in freeing you that was all Harry. Kingsley saw the evidence and he agreed that you and Draco both don't deserve to go to Azkaban for life. He's also working on getting your mansion and fortune back from the goblins."

"My home?"

"It'll be a few days, but we've made arrangements for you to stay at Grimmauld once you're discharged." Lucius' head jerked up.

"When am I to be discharged?"

"Soon, once your treatment is done." Severus stopped him from moving up too fast. "Take it easy or you'll hurt your chest."

"I can't leave Draco here! I can't leave him alone!"

"Lucius even if you leave before him he won't be in any danger, they'll put him in the best ward. He'll be fine once he wakes up."

"I'm not leaving him!" Harry sighed.

"I think you'd better drop it dad." Severus nodded.

"I think you might be right." The potions master leaned back a little. "We'll have more time to think on this later."

"I won't leave my son alone in this place."

"I understand, we won't speak of it until Jones comes back." a few moments of silence passed between them. "Almost thought it'd be a month before you woke, that's what the healer said." Lucius just groaned.

"Hmph, wait…"

"What is it?"

"When I woke, I heard something, a song. I don't know who sung it but…it gave me the strength to open my eyes. Who was it?" Harry's eyes widened and he about flinched when his dad snapped his head in his direction.

"Harry?"

"I…I did sing but it was low, I didn't think it would wake him." This couldn't mean what it seemed to mean, no it just couldn't it was too soon.

"What? What is it?" Lucius looked between the two.

"Nothing, Harry I think you'd better go home. I'll need to speak with Lucius on other matters." He gave him the old Snape glare and Harry just nodded.

"I'll be off then, nice seeing you again Mr. Malfoy." He rushed out and found the closest exit before disapparating back to the Granger home. He made his way inside only to see his great displeasure, Ginny Weasley.

"Harry!" the redhead ran to his arms and almost knocked him down.

"H-Hey Ginny…" her arms wound tightly around his neck.

"Oh I've missed you so much, where've you been?" she didn't let go, frankly her hold was almost suffocating.

"Ginny you're hurting me…" he tried to pry her off.

"Ginny let go." Ron and Hermione to the rescue. "Let go you'll kill him." She finally did.

"Oh sorry, I just couldn't help myself." She batted her eyelashes at him. "So where were you, Ron and Hermione said you were busy?"

"I had to go to St. Mungo's for a bit, had to check on some people."

"Check on whom?"

"No one important, just some people who got hurt in the war."

"I know but whom?"

"I said no one important, it was just random stuff I need to get used to doing once I become an Auror." She stared at him.

"I thought you didn't want to be involved in that stuff, I thought you were going to quiet down for a while?" she touched his arm.

"I was, but things are picking up before I have to start term again." Her eyes brightened up.

"You are going back to school! Oh Harry this'll be great we can see each other every day it'll be so much fun!" she latched onto him again, much harder this time.

"Ow! Ginny get off!" he looked to Ron who was laughing, but helped pull the girl away from him.

"But I was just giving him a hug."

"You left marks on him Gin, look." He pointed to Harry's neck where red marks were forming.

"Sorry."

"It's ok, um Hermione can we talk for a bit?" Harry grabbed Hermione's hand and practically pulled her into her dad's private study. "She's so aggravating." He rubbed the sore spots on his neck.

"Well she is your number one fan, but that's long gone isn't it?" he nodded. "How is Mr. Malfoy doing?"

"He's stunned, but alright and he refuses to leave Draco alone once he's discharged."

"Not surprised, he's all about protecting his son even if the war's done." She walked over and pulled a book off the coffee table. "You might want to sound proof the room." Harry nodded and cast a silencing charm over the whole study, and closed the curtains. "Ginny doesn't know about anything, Ron and I know it's your business to tell not ours."

"Good, I wasn't planning on telling her about the siren blood anyway."

"That's your thing, and speaking of which I've been doing research on Sirens." She flipped open the book she was holding. "It says here that Sirens are in fact supposed descendants of the Greek Sea God Poseidon, but that's likely a myth. They're said to be beautiful and alluring like Veela, but strong and sort of temper mental like dragons."

"High emotions?" she nodded.

"They learn to control it, but it also says that those whom are only half or maybe even a quarter Siren have easier control. You hardly ever throw fits or get angry, so your emotions probably won't go off the radar if you get my meaning."

"Yeah I do." He laughed. "What else is there?" she read over it a bit.

"Oh, Sirens also keep track of their descendants so it's possible you could still have a few relatives in their bloodline."

"How long do most sirens live?"

"Let's see, a pure siren can live up to maybe five-hundred years or more, anything less, even a sixth of siren blood can live to maybe a century or two. Their mates can live just as long." She hit the spot.

"What does it say on mating?" she stared at him. "Just need to know, just in case." She sighed and flipped through some pages.

"Ah here we are, siren mates can either be human or siren, the mating call which is the song of course is the key to finding the right mate. The lowest hum, the smallest tune can lead them out if they're nearby, and once the mate responds to the call they slowly began to develop feelings for their Siren. Sirens are mostly submissive, but dominant ones are rare, to tell the difference depends on how the siren mate is raised, also age, gender, even personality can depend on if their sub or dom."

"Well, I've been pretty much neglected by my relatives all my life. I led an army in the war, I had to stand up for myself and my friends against my enemies, pretty much raised myself all my life."

"Then it's likely you'll be a submissive, submissive sirens are the types who like you just described have fed and raised themselves if not have strong ambitions to care for others, therefore their inner siren wishes to be loved and doted on by their mate. Plus submissive sirens always have mates either older or around the same age as them."

"Doesn't sound too bad, depending on who my mate will be; but back to the heritage thing, do you think we can track any possible relatives of mine from my mum's side?"

"We could, but we'd have to dig up some old records if there's any at all. They may be kept in Gringotts, but under a different vault otherwise Dumbledore would've found out by now."

"You might be right, or maybe…" his dad had to have something on the heritage, who else would his mum trust with this secret?

"Maybe Snape has something?"

"You just read my mind." She laughed. "Oh and Hermione…" he almost said it, but then someone knocked on the door.

"Hey guys, Ginny just left but Snape, Remus, and Sirius are here." Ron's voice came from the other side.

"Better get out there." Hermione put the book away and walked with Harry out to the den. Severus had a serious look on his face, but Sirius and Remus looked rather concerned.

"Is everything alright?" Harry walked closer. "Did something happen to the Malfoys?" His dad glanced at his godfathers.

"Something did happen Harry, but we aren't quite sure just yet."

"What is it?" he hoped it wasn't what he thought.

"Harry, you said you sang a small song when you were in the room with Lucius. How low did you sing?" Harry glanced at Ron.

"They made me tell, sorry." The redhead shrugged.

"Low enough for Ron to hear me that's all." Severus rubbed his forehead.

"And Lucius woke up afterwards right?" Harry nodded. "Did anything happen before that?" Harry thought for a quick minute.

"Well…I kind of touched him and he moaned I think…why?" Please don't let it be it, it can't be. Severus sighed, and then placed both hands on his hips.

"Harry, I think you found your mate." Harry's eyes widened.

"What…what did you say?" Severus walked close to him and placed both hands on his shoulders.

"Harry…Lucius Malfoy is your mate." And then Harry felt darkness fall over him.

Sorry about the cliffy, but I'm preparing for the next chapter.

Next one's going to pick up when Harry wakes up and has a talk with his family, then he'll go and see Lucius at the hospital, might even through in a part with Ron at the end, and Draco.

R&R

Later!
