Previously: Harry clenched his door, "I... He... He wasn't too nice... He..." Harry trailed off and Lucius frowned when he saw how much the teenager was shaking. "Harry please... What did Vernon do?" Lucius asked, fear in his voice.

"He raped me okay!"


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Revealed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"He raped me okay!" Harry screamed. Lucius sat there, frozen in shock, "He raped me... and then he sold me, like I was some cheap whore... I should have stopped him but I was too weak!!" Harry sobbed.

"Harry- "

"NO!" Harry yelled, leaping up and running from the room. Lucius cursed and stood up to follow his son, heading into the living room in a rush when he heard the floo go off. He was too late and screamed as he watched the fire turn back to normal.

Everyone came running into the room when they heard the scream, "What's going on?" Severus asked.

"He left! Harry left!" Lucius whispered.

"What?! Why?!" Severus yelled.

Neville cursed, "You pushed him into talking didn't you!" He sighed, gulping as Lucius grabbed hold of his shirt.

"You knew?" The older man growled, Neville took a big gulp of air, wondering what Lucius was going to do to him. But then Severus said his husband's name, he sounded terrified and Lucius dropped Neville's shirt, dropping onto the sofa and putting his head in his hands.

"Come on boys." Lily said quietly, taking Neville and Draco's arms and leading them out of the room, ignoring their protests.

"Luc?" Severus asked, sitting next to his husband.

"Vernon raped Harry." Lucius whispered, the room went absolutely silent.

"What?" Severus croaked eventually.

Lucius nodded, tears streaking down his cheeks, "He raped him and then... Then he sold him... Like some prostitute."

"I'll fucking kill him." Sirius growled, halfway to the door already, Remus grabbed his husband's arm.

The werewolf took a deep breathe, knowing the other men wouldn't like what he was going to say, "It's not Vernon who's to blame." he said, wincing slightly as everyone sent him stunned and slightly angry looks, "I mean, we don't even know who the man really is and Merlin knows what Dumbledore did to his mind!" Remus rushed to say, "It's Dumbledore who's at fault here. And anyway the important thing right now is finding Harry."

"He's right." Severus said, "Where could he have gone?"

James frowned, "Maybe we should ask Neville, he and Harry are close." He said, the others agreed and James left the room to go and get his son. Sirius sat next to Lucius and squeezed the man's knee gently, hoping to comfort him.

"Would he have gone to the Burrow?" Remus asked Neville when the teenager walked into the room with James.

"No, that would lead to to many questions from Molly... Umm... Might have gone to Seamus' but it's more likely he's at the Leaky Couldron."

"The pub?" Severus asked, not sounding too sure.

Neville nodded, "Yeah. He'll be really upset so will want to just forget what he's told you by getting very drunk."

"Doesn't Tom know he's underage?" Remus asked.

Neville resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "Of course he does. Look now's not the time to get into the underage drinking argument with Tom. If you're going to get Harry then only one of you should go, otherwise he'll freak out even more than he already is."

"I'll go." Lucius said, "It was me he told so I should go..." He trailed off before planting a soft kiss to Severus' lips and crossing to the floo. Everyone watched as he flooed away then Severus turned to Neville who gulped, "He told me in fourth year! I promised not to tell anyone! When we found out about you guys being his parents I said he should tell you but he refused, he's my friend and I have to respect his wishes." The teenager tried to explain.

Severus gave him a filthy look and Neville flinched, "Come on." James said softly, wrapping an arm around his son and leading him out of the room.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~HP~HP~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Lucius looked around the pub, spotting his son sat alone int he corner he crossed the room, "Harry..." Harry looked up, his eyes wide, Lucius took the bottle of firewhisky off his son. "Let's go somewhere quiet to talk." He said gently.

Harry seemed torn before he finally nodded, "I booked a room upstairs." He muttered, pulling the key out of his pocket. They both headed upstairs, Lucius making sure that Harry went in front so that he couldn't run away.

"I want you to know that your father and I love you very much, no matter what okay?" Lucius said as he shut the door behind them. Harry simply watched as his father sat down, "When... When did Vernon do this?" Lucius asked, trying to ignore the want to vomit.

There was a slight pause and Harry emotionally removed himself from the conversation, "Started when I was seven, sold me for the first time when I was eight. Stopped selling me when I started Hogwarts but still occasionally fucked me during the summer holidays."

Lucius raised his hand to his mouth at how calm Harry sounded, the need to vomit was becoming overwhelming. "Why didn't you tell anyone?" He asked finally.

"No-one would have believed me... And he said he'd kill me if I did. I was seven, I was scared." Harry mumbled. "Look it's... It's fine, bad stuff happens... Just gotta deal with it."

"Harry..."

"No! Please don't go after Vernon! It wasn't his fault. His head's been screwed about with..." Harry begged.

Lucius nodded, "That's what Remus said." He muttered, "But it's not fine Harry... This... You aren't coping with it, and I don't blame you, it's not something that's easily coped with. Maybe you need someone to talk to about it..."

"Like a shrink?" Harry asked, he crossed the room to the minibar and pulled out a bottle of firewhisky, ignoring Lucius' raised eyebrows.

"Perhaps." Lucius said finally.

"I don't like that idea." Harry said, drinking some more.

Lucius sighed, "Remus was trained as a psychiatrist..." He offered.

"No," Harry yelped, "I... I can't talk to him. I... He's mad at me..." He stuttered before turning away and drinking some more firewhisky.

"He's not mad Harry." Lucius said softly.

"Oh great, they told you about that stupid kiss too!" Harry groaned, grabbing another bottle of firewhisky.

Lucius walked over and took it off him and Harry scowled, "You shouldn't drink." Lucius said.

"Whatever." Harry muttered. "Look I wont talk to Remus okay?" He added crossly.

Lucius nodded, "Fine, not Remus. But you should talk to someone, most healers take a magically binding vow not to reveal what they are told." He said.

Harry pulled a face, "I'll think about it." He said quietly, then he raised his hand to his mouth.

"Are you okay?" Lucius asked, Harry nodded before promptly throwing up on Lucius' shoes. Lucius groaned and cast a cleaning charm before helping Harry over to the bed and turning the empty firewhisky into a bucket just in time for Harry to vomit into it. "Drinking on an empty stomach is never a good idea." Lucius pointed out as he held Harry's hair back and rubbed circled on the boy's back. When Harry finally stopped throwing up he leant his head against Lucius' shoulder, "You should get some sleep, I'll apparate us back when you're sleeping." Lucius said gently, "I love you son." He whispered as Harry began to drift off.

"Love you too dad." Harry mumbled.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~HP~HP~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"How is he?" Severus asked as Lucius walked into the living room and sat next to him, "Is he okay?"

"He's coping way better than I expected." Lucius replied, "Got a bit drunk and ended up throwing up. He said he'd think about seeing a psychiatrist though..."

"That's good." Severus smiled, wrapping his arms around Lucius, "Where is he now?"

"Fast asleep in his room." Lucius said softly, resting his head on Severus' shoulder and pressing a soft kiss to the man's neck.

The door to the living room opened and Remus walked in, "Hey, you're back... How's Harry?" He asked, sitting opposite the two men, Lucius repeated what he'd told Severus and then added, "I did tell him that you'd trained as a psychiatrist but he said he wasn't going to talk to you, he thought you were mad at him for that thing with Sirius..."

Remus groaned, "I told him it was okay... I'll talk to him again." He said.

"Okay well, he might still decide not to talk to you..." Lucius murmured.

Remus nodded, "Sometimes it's easier to talk to strangers." He said, flushing slightly as he watched Lucius' hand slide up Severus' shirt and begin to trace patterns on his stomach, he couldn't help but wish that it was him doing that and flushed even more at the thought. "Umm... I have to go see Sirius." He mumbled in a rush before racing out of the room.

"What the fuck was that about?" Severus asked.

"He likes you." Lucius said, "I already told you that."

"Yeah but..." Severus trailed off, unsure what to say.

Lucius smirked, "You can kiss him if you want." He said, laughing as Severus' eyebrows shot up, "I love you, I know you love me... Kissing someone else wouldn't change that..."

"I don't want to kiss him!" Severus almost shrieked, "And I doubt Sirius would be too happy."

"Oh I dunno... He might like it." Lucius grinned, breaking into giggles at Severus' expression, the door opened and Lucius giggled even more as Sirius walked in, he calmed down when he saw James following. "Is Neville still awake?" Lucius asked.

"No. He went to sleep several hours ago." James replied, keeping his voice even.

Lucius nodded, "I'll apologise tomorrow." He decided, seeing everyone's expressions he explained, "I don't like the fact that he kept something like that from us but I shouldn't have reacted the way I did."

James shrugged, "You were in shock, he'll understand."

Severus kissed Lucius gently before saying, "Come on, let's go to bed. It's been a long day." Lucius nodded and stood up, saying goodnight to James and Sirius before leaving the room, Severus following him close behind.
