I guess I ended up not going to Keystone... so here is your chapter!
Lucie.
"Where are you taking me, Hermione?" Harry groaned with irritation. He was dressed in sandels and swim trunks, with a beach towl slung across his shoulders.
"Oh, nowhere..." Hermione said dismissively.
"Please, Hermione. If it was nowhere, you wouldnt have made me come with you." Harry told her irritably.
"It's a surprise, Harry." Hermione told him sternly.
"I gathered that, thanks." Harry said.
"Dont smart off to me, Harry James Potter." She told him.
"Fine, fine." Harry surrendered.
"Great!" She said brightly. "Now put on this blindfold." She held up a purple spotted blindfold.
Harry blanched. "What? No way!"
"Yes, you will." Hermione told him, her tone leaving no room for argument.
Harry sighed. "Alright, give it to me." He grinned despite himself.
Harry fastened the blindfold securely around his face, sighing in resignation.
"Good." Hermione clapped her hands together as she took in the sight of her unseeing best friend. "Lets go."
She took Harry's arm and spun on her heel, apparating to the manor.
"Alright, Harry." She said, once she gathered that they had come to the right place. "Follow me." She led him down the step into the water, throwing his towel and discarded sandals onto the pool chair.
Harry felt water under his feet. "Pool?" He asked.
"Yep." Hermione grinned, knowing he couldnt see it. She took in a similarly blindfolded Lucius waiting at the other end. She assumed there was a silence bubble around him so he couldnt hear her and Harry. "Alright, Harry. Stand here. Ill be right back." She winked at Draco, and both of them climbed out of the pool.
Once they were both out of the pool, Hermione put up the wards that would keep Lucius and Harry safe inside the pool. "Alright, guys, Take off your blindfolds!" And she cast a silencing bubble around the pool.
Harry and Lucius both ripped off their blindfolds immediately. They took in the sight of one another, and said in perfect unison: "What are you doing here?"
Harry was the first to recover. "What the hell, Lucius?"
"What the hell indeed, Mr Potter." Lucius said smoothly, despite his obvious shock.
Harry grimaced. "You hurt me." He whispered, suddenly much more vulnerable.
"And you me." Lucius said.
"How? What did I do?" Harry asked.
"You can never truely love me. Its just your teenage hormones running amok." Lucius said bitterly.
Harry was seething with rage. "How dare you? I have been through so much in my life, how can you even say that?"
"Because I know its true." Lucius said regretfully.
"Its not true!" Harry screamed, tears dripping down his face. "...I love you, Lucius." Harry whispered, tears falling thick and fast into the pool.
Lucius was at a complete and utter loss for words. "Love me? But, you are eighteen years old."
"Im eighteen, as of today, thanks. And I think that, after everything Ive been through, that I know what I want. And I want you." He mummered.
"You cant possibly know that. You are eighteen. You dont know what you want." Lucius said bitterly,
"Dammit, Lucius! I love you! And not because of some goddamn spell, because of you! The spell wouldnt even work if I didnt at least like you!" Harry pleaded.
Lucius gaped at him. The sincerity of that statement was so outright that he dared to believe it was true. He dared to believe the impossible truth, and kissed Harry, right in the middle of the pool, as he had last time.
Harry gasped against his mouth. Then, without any hesitation, he wrapped his long arms around Lucius' shoulders, pulling him closer. Lucius' hands grasped at his neck, leaning his mouth upward for better leverage.
Harry was in shock. One moment he had pledged his love for a man he had never thought he could have, and the next moment he was kissing said man. It was almost dizzing. But Harry could keep up. He kissed Lucius back, holding on for dear life and vowing to himself to never let go.
Lucius released him after a while, still embracing him slightly awkwardly. "Harry, I just- never mind." Lucius said.
"What?" Harry looked at him concernedly.
"It's nothing." Lucius told him.
"Saying that only makes me believe you less." Harry told him with narrowed eyes.
"It's just, Harry, you shouldnt be with me. I am a former deatheater, I worked for your enemy." Lucius whispered.
"I think that 'former' is the key word in that statement. Besides, we've been over this. I want you. And only you, Lucius." Harry announced.
"I dont think I can make you happy." Lucius said.
"You can, and you will. You've made me happy since the day I saw you at the ball, and Ive liked you ever since the Triwizard Tournament." Harry told him, his tone leaving no room for argument.
"If it'll make you happy." Lucius surrendered.
Harry beamed up at him. Throwing his arms around his neck, he kissed him soundly.
Harry's tounge pushed insistanltly at Lucius' bottom lip, demanding entrance. Lucius opened him mouth slightly, and their tounges tangled together, a sensual dance.
Lucius moaned. Harry grinned against his partner's mouth and then quickly resumed kissing him.
And boy, did Lucius kiss back. He had been waiting a long day and a half for this, and now that he finally had his love back, he was determined to shower him with every bit of the love and affection he deserved. Lucius knew that a day and a half wasnt very long to go without seeeing someone, but when he was in constant agony, it had seemed like an eternity.
Harry pressed himself closer to Lucius' body, still kissing him frantically. He focused on the smell of Lucius. It was like musk and water, somehow. Either way, it was very enticing.
Harry gasped as Lucius' hand slid through his hair, down to his waist and then under his shirt. A large but smooth hand traced delitcate circles on his back, making Harry squirm, but not enough to break the frantic kiss.
Lucius pulled away, causing Harry to moan at the loss. "Wow, Harry." He grinned.
"Lucius, where the hell did you learn to kiss like that?" Harry breathed.
"I'm sure I dont know what you are talking about." Lucius grinned slyly, causing a shiver to run up Harry's spine.
"Gah." was all Harry said before Lucius kissed him again.
This kiss was not as passionate as the last. Instead it was very brief, and very sweet.
However, it was still enough to illicit a small moan from Harry.
Lucius smiled down at the raven haired teen.
Harry grinned too. "Thank you, Lucius."
"Ah, the pleasure was mine." Lucius grinned at his unintentional innuendo.
"I'm sure." Harry smiled.
"Well..." Hermione's voice cut through what used to be a sound proof bubble. "That was an interesting way to end the day... I take it you two made up?" She grinned.
"Yes." They said in unison.
Thanks for reading, everyone. Review apprecitated!
