Onyx sat on his bed running his fingers over the written words on the paper, not totally sure if he should believe them or not. He might be dating Sirius but he knew that his feeling for Lucius were still lingering. What was he going to do, he wondered, because it would be so simple just to run back into Lucius's arms. He would love to have things the way they were before, knowing that he could go home to his parents and he could be in that world again. As much as he despised it, hated keeping up constant appearances it was all he knew and he wondered if he could make it in a world beyond that.
Was it too easy though, was this all some scheme that Lucius and the girls had come up with? He could easily see the three of them conspiring on how they were going to make their new enemy suffer. There was also no denying his developing feelings for Sirius. When he was with Sirius he felt happier than he had been in a long while, Sirius made him laugh and he didn't want to hide their relationship like he had to with Lucius. He knew he would have to think things through very carefully because this was all beginning to smell of Narcissa Black and if she had a hand in it only bad things would come of it. It was no news that she would love to crush Onyx under her boot, but he wondered if she was maybe even acting alone.
Suddenly he came up with a brilliant idea. He rushed down the stairs of his house and out the door. Running down the hallway he brushed by multiple students, bumping into a few and earning more than a few foul words directed at him. Out the castle and down the path and he was soon coming up to a tree where Lily Evans and Severus Snape sat talking.
"Severus can I have a moment of your time?" Onyx asked slightly out of breath.
"What is it Lestrange?" He asked rather annoyed.
"I'm sure that being a Slytherin you know that Lucius Malfoy and I aren't getting along but I want to know if you have heard him scheming?" Onyx asked, almost pleading.
"What do you mean scheming?" Lily asked intrigued.
"Swear that this goes no further than the two of you?" Onyx asked, not really caring if his relationship with Lucius came out. Hell, the news of he and Sirius was already spreading fast.
"Lucius and I were romantically involved until recently and then last night he sent me a letter saying it was all a mistake and that he wanted me back. The problem with this is that we had a huge fight in the hallway and Bellatrix and Narcissa have made me their personal target, so I want to know if this is some sort of plan to humiliate me?" Onyx asked, his mind still racing with everything he rambled on much longer than he intended.
"I really don't know, Lucius and those bloody annoying girls stick close to one and other and don't let many privy to their activity." Severus shrugged.
"Could you please find out, maybe do a little eavesdropping?" Onyx asked hopefully.
"And how will it help me?" Severus asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"I'll get the Marauders to lay off you for a while." Onyx replied, hoping that he could actually do it.
"Deal." Lily stated for him. With a nod Onyx took off back towards the castle, spotting Sirius and the rest standing near the willow. He wasn't sure what he was going to tell the four, knowing that if he kept anything secret it could ruin his relationship with Sirius.
As much as he wanted it to be true it was quickly becoming clear to him that this was all a scheme, that Lucius simply wanted to play with him. Lucius would never go against his family, he was far to happy in their praise and he would happily be the first in line to get the dark mark if that's truly what his parents wanted. That was enough for him, he was now sure that he was going to lay it all out for Sirius.
"What were you doing talking to Snivellus?" Sirius asked as he walked towards them.
"I got this last night, I promised that you guys would lay off him for a while if he could do a little snooping for me." Onyx sighed handing the letter to Sirius.
"Do you actually believe this?" Sirius asked angrily, crumpling the paper and throwing it to the willow.
"More and more no, I would be lying if I didn't say it was tempting. As much as I am falling for you Sirius my feelings for Lucius aren't totally gone...yet. Either way I won't go back to him, but I need to know if this is real or if this is part of some big plan to get back at me, and if the later is the case then I need to prepare for the result." Onyx said looking at Sirius hopefully.
"So what you are saying is that you still want me?" Sirius asked a little confused.
"Yes I still want you." Onyx sighed, happy that Sirius wasn't offended.
"You'll have to excuse Padfoot, he's a little thick in the head." James chuckled.
"Sod off." Sirius replied punching his friend in the arm.
"By the way, did Lily mention me?" James asked hopefully.
"You really are loony for her aren't you?" Onyx chuckled.
"You have no idea." Sirius said walking over and wrapping his arms around Onyx, resting his head on his boyfriend's shoulder.
"So what are you going to do about Lucius?" Remus asked.
"I have no idea, any suggestions?" Onyx asked.
"Revenge?" Peter suggested.
"That would entail making him think I want back with him and I won't do that." Onyx said shaking his head.
"Then come on, we are going to tell him face to face." Sirius said before placing a soft kiss on the side of Onyx's neck. Onyx nodded in agreement and led them back down towards the lake and along the shore to the rock he used to come to with Lucius and the girls. There up ahead he spotted them, sitting there talking.
"Look what the cat drug in." Bellatrix laughed dancing along the shore, kicking at the water.
"Come crawling back?" Narcissa growled.
"I think not, I came to tell Lucius that I didn't buy his letter." Onyx stated cooly. Lucius's mouth curled into a snide grin as his eyes narrowed.
"I have to say I'm surprised. Who would think you would choose someone like Sirius?" Lucius said, his voice dripping with anger.
"I'm not going to play into your hand here, Lucius; as far as I am concerned you don't exist to me." Onyx stated calmly, inside however he felt as though all the air in the world had suddenly been sucked up.
"I don't exist to you? How dare you write me off like that!" Lucius shouted pulling his wand. "Impedimenta!" he shouted, Onyx flying backwards and into the water. The four Marauder's quickly came to his defense, pulling their wands before they heard Onyx shout.
"Don't! This is between us and that is how it will stay." Onyx shouted, standing dripping wet from the lake. "Expelliarmus!" he shouted, Lucius's wand flying behind the boulder as he hit the ground. Narcissa raised her wand to retaliate but Sirius make quick of that problem, shouting the same spell at her. Bellatrix, however, made no movement to help her friends, simply standing and watching the excitement.
"Don't even think about it!" James shouted as he kicked Narcissa's wand away before she could grab it.
"Lucius Malfoy, you had me fooled for YEARS! You actually had me believing that you were some innocent lamb, bending to the will of your family, that you were like me. You have shown your true colors and there is NO way that I will EVER return to you!" Onyx said quickly advancing, his wand at the ready.
"You'll come crawling back I'm sure." Lucius growled defiantly.
"Never, I am with a man that is truly kind and that I am falling in love with." Onyx growled back before turning towards his friends, his new true friends.
"You realize this isn't over, don't you?" Narcissa said from the ground where she still knelt as the Marauders walked away. They ignored her however, Sirius's arm snaking around his boyfriend's waist. He looked over, worried, when he noticed him quivering, wondering if it was out of fear or anger. The moment they were out of sight Onyx threw himself into Sirius's arms and began to sob.
