Harry awoke to an empty bed. He sat up, rubbing his eyes sleepily.
"Luc?" he asked the room, as if expecting it to respond. He stretched, slowly standing up and getting dressed. As he wasn't worried about looking sexy until later, he picked a loose fitting (well, considering everything had been Dudley's, it was all loose fitting, except for a select few things Seamus had bought him) shirt and a better-fitting pair of jeans. He made his way into what he had assumed was the sitting room, where he found Draco and Blaise cuddling on an armchair. Lucius sat across from them, reading something or other. Harry walked over to Lucius and kissed his cheek. Lucius smiled.
"Merry Christmas," Lucius said, putting down his book. He pulled Harry into his lap, kissing him gently on the mouth. Harry smiled.
"Merry Christmas, Luc," he said, leaning his head on Lucius' shoulder. He gazed briefly over at Draco and Blaise, and chuckled when he saw Draco sleeping, and Blaise close to it. He was reasonably sure that neither of them had slept last night, but he didn't intend to state that out loud. It was understood by both Harry and Lucius already.
Lucius pulled out a small, wrapped package from his pocket. It was, of course, wrapped in green and silver. Harry smiled and opened it slowly. When he had the wrapping off, and opened the box, he gasped. A pendant was in the box, an expertly made white gold phoenix entwined with a silver snake. The only unusual thing about the animals was that the phoenix's eyes were inlaid emeralds, and the snake's eyes were rubies. It was as if the animals had given a part of themselves to each other. After staring at it for a moment, Harry realized, with a jolt, that the snake actually moved, weaving itself in and out. The phoenix moved its wings to accommodate its snake partner. Harry looked at Lucius, absolutely awed by the beauty of the pendant. He fastened the clasp around his neck.
"It's absolutely beautiful. How did you find something like this?" Harry asked.
"Harry, I am a member of one of the oldest, most influential families in the Wizarding World. It was originally not for sale, but after some negotiating, I convinced the shop owner to sell it to me," Lucius said with a smile.
"Now I feel idiotic. Your present has to come later, and I didn't spend nearly as much money on it as you seem to have," Harry said, pouting. He had, in fact, received some very alluring gifts as a joke from George last year, and spent some money on makeup to really look the part. He was planning on sending Lucius an owl, telling him that his gift would be waiting for him at exactly nine p.m. He needed time to get ready after dinner, after all.
Lucius raised an eyebrow. "Why later?" he asked, genuinely curious.
"It's actually not quite finished. It needs some touches," Harry admitted, smiling sheepishly. Lucius laughed.
"Well, you haven't had much time, have you? I've been keeping you to me most of the time," Lucius said, lightly biting Harry's ear. Harry sighed in pleasure, weaving his fingers in Lucius' hair.
"No, I haven't had much time," Harry said breathily. "Give me time after dinner. It'll take me about an hour."
"I will. I have a few letters to respond to from the Minister," Lucius said with a small sigh. Soon it would be time to return to the world of work, and Harry would have to return to school. However, they had New Year's together, and Lucius fervently hoped they would be able to see each other on Hogsmeade trips after that.
"I'm going to miss you when I go back to school," Harry said softly, kissing Lucius' neck. Lucius stroked Harry's hair.
"I'm going to visit you on Hogsmeade weekends, you know. It won't be as bad as it would have been, then. But I'll miss you," Lucius admitted. Harry grinned.
"Merry Christmas, Harry!" came a sleepy voice from across the room. Harry looked over to see Blaise half-awake with Draco still curled up, fast asleep, on his lap. Lucius chuckled.
"It seems that Draco and I both enjoy armchairs with our lovers," Lucius said. Blaise smiled as he began to wake up more completely.
"I don't object," Harry said, and Blaise nodded his agreement. Harry looked over at Blaise and smirked. "Sleep well?"
Blaise blushed and made no reply.
"I'd really rather not know what my son is doing at night, thank you," Lucius said curtly, causing both Harry and Blaise to snigger. "Harry, I have something I'd like you to see, if you would get off of my lap and accompany me…" Harry stood up and stretched out.
"Alright, just give me a second," he said as he walked over to Blaise and Draco and wrapped his arms around the two of them. "Merry Christmas. Tell blondie when he wakes up." Blaise laughed and agreed.
"Blondie?" Lucius asked with a raised eyebrow. Harry chuckled as he and Lucius walked out of the room.
"Well, Ron calls him ferret, and Draco calls Ron weasel, but now that I'm friends with him, I might as well just call him blondie," Harry said with a shrug. Lucius' lips quirked up into a small smile.
"I would prefer if you did not call my son 'ferret,'" he said. Then, he looked at Harry. "Harry, if we keep this up, and it gets to the point where I want to propose to you, would you be uncomfortable with the idea of having Draco as a stepson?"
"I think it would be awkward at first, but I really only ever want him to call me a friend, rather than 'dad' or anything. I think it would be more awkward for him than for me, actually," Harry mused. He followed Lucius to a sunroom, where the glass was enchanted to repel the falling snow. He looked around in wonder. It was like being outdoors, in an environment where the sun always shone. There was a pagoda with benches around the edges; a small lake (too large to be called a pond) with a bridge that stretched over it, and green grass in the dead of winter. Snowflakes fell to just above their heads, and disappeared, much like the Great Hall. Lucius smiled at Harry's childlike expression of wonder and awe.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Lucius asked softly, leaning down to kiss Harry's forehead.
"It is," Harry agreed. "Sometimes, it still amazes me, what magic can really do." At a snort from Lucius, Harry felt the need to clarify. "I was raised by Muggles, Luc. I didn't grow up seeing the effects of magic. I didn't even know I was a wizard until Hagrid nearly destroyed the cottage I was staying in on a little island because my aunt and uncle were determined to keep that from me." Harry chuckled. "Before that, though, I ended up on the roof of my school, turned my teacher's wig blue, grew my hair back in a single night, and shrunk a sweater to finger puppet size. And the crowning glory: at my cousin's birthday trip to the zoo, I was talking to a boa constrictor, and when my cousin came up and shoved me out of the way, I made the glass disappear and set loose the snake." Lucius simply stared as Harry laughed.
"You… were talking to the snake?" he asked, incredulous.
"Didn't Draco ever mention I was a Parselmouth? I'm surprised he didn't lament about it after I told the snake he conjured up during the dueling club in second year to back off of Justin Finch-Fletchley," Harry said, recounting the memory with a slight grimace. Everyone had been convinced he was the heir of Slytherin at that point.
"He may have mentioned it once or twice," Lucius said, thinking back. At that point, he had probably been more concerned with figuring out where Dobby had been going. Now, he was thankful that elf had snuck off. If he hadn't, there would be no Harry Potter, and his son would most likely be dead.
"It's of no importance now, Luc. I lost the ability to speak Parseltongue when Voldemort cast his Killing Curse on me. I was a horcrux. It means that I had part of Voldemort's soul in me. That diary you gave Ginny Weasley second year? It was another horcrux, which is why he was so angry when he found out you lost it," Harry said, rubbing his scar. "I'll bet you didn't know that because of his soul, I could see through his eyes when he was especially angry. That link is why Sirius died. He planted a false image in my mind, and that's why everything happened in the Department of Mysteries." Tears began pricking at the corners of Harry's eyes. Even three years later, it still hurt him that he was responsible for his godfather's death. "I think he didn't bother to close that pathway because he knew the amount of pain it caused me whenever he felt the anger. I felt like my head would split. It saved people that were close to me, but it killed my godfather, and I know that Remus loved him too, in the way that we love each other." At this point, Harry let the tears flow down his face. Lucius wrapped his arms around Harry and kissed the trails that the tears left, savoring the salty taste.
"I didn't know any of that. The Dark Lord never confided in any of us, except perhaps Severus," Lucius said softly. "Don't force yourself to feel what you can't feel naturally. I understand your sorrow and pain. I love you, and I don't want to see you in that much pain. But for now, just let the emotions flow."
Harry leaned into Lucius' chest, the tears streaming. Finally, after a few minutes, the tears stopped, and he pulled away from Lucius.
"Thank you," Harry whispered, leaning up and catching Lucius' mouth in an innocent kiss, salty from Harry's tears.

Dinner was a congenial affair; Christmas dinner usually was, no matter the occasion. Even Harry and Hermione's meager Christmas had been a good one while they were on the run. Blaise and Draco, when they were openly affectionate, were actually quite amusing. Draco's snarky attitude coupled with Blaise's joking attitude made for playful bickering that often got even Lucius laughing.
Now, Harry was in the luxurious bathroom of his and Lucius' room, nervously preparing for his gift to Lucius. He'd managed to purchase some makeup: silver body glitter, black eyeliner, a little bit of emerald shadow, and mascara. Having grown up with muggles, he'd constantly been cleaning while his aunt applied her makeup and learned from watching her. He also knew, from seeing the other students at Hogwarts, that too much makeup was just unattractive.
Harry carefully brushed on the emerald shadow, coating his eyelids in the powder. After carefully lining his eyes in the pencil, he applied mascara to his eyelashes, giving his eyes the appearance of being much more heavily-lidded, and his lashes curtained his eyes, giving him a sultry, smoky appearance. For a final touch, he brushed on the silver glitter over his eyelids, up to his eyebrows, and to a point just past where his eyebrows ended, and then under his eyes. He admired his face in the mirror, smirking at his own attractiveness. He stripped off his T-shirt and jeans, and even his boxers. He had other things to wear.
One of the things George had sent him as a joke was a pair of black leather hot pants. He slipped them on, chuckling as he did so. Lucius would certainly get an eyeful. The other thing George had sent was a long, fur-collared trench coat. He fastened the silver buckles across his torso, and grinned at his appearance. It wasn't clear what he wore underneath the coat at all. He looked at the muggle watch he had just taken off, and bit his lip. Only five minutes until Lucius was supposed to come and get his present. He fully intended to tease Lucius, and not even let him see his face until he decided the time was appropriate. He walked out and stood at the foot of the bed, facing away from the door. At the sound of the bedroom door opening, he smiled inwardly.
"Well, that's different," Lucius said, taking in the trench coat.
Without turning, Harry said, "It is. It took me a while to figure out what to get you. First I thought perhaps jewelry, but then I thought, it would probably get lost, or fade, or break. Then, I thought clothes, but appearances change. It was then that I thought that this present would be better." He slowly turned around and unbuckled the top buckle, the one that strapped right over his nipples.
Lucius gaped, mouth open, at his lover. As he took in the coat, Harry unbuckled the second of four buckles. Harry took Lucius' hand and pulled him to the bed, his eyes half closed, lips slightly parted. He looked the part of the tempter. Lucius pulled his top layer of clothing (his coat) off, and let Harry push him down on his back. Harry slowly, tantalizingly, undid the last two buckles, opening the cloak, and smirking as Lucius drank in his appearance. He took the cloak off and straddled Lucius, the pendant he had received hanging down and resting on Lucius' chest. The snake and phoenix, much to both Harry and Lucius' amusement, had turned to more lewd entwining. Harry unbuttoned Lucius' vest and shirt and kissed down Lucius' chest, along his sternum, and down to his belly button. Lucius pulled his shirt and vest off entirely, and Harry kissed one of Lucius' nipples, biting lightly. The blonde's back arched as Harry bit down harder. Harry's hand trailed down to Lucius' crotch, where he felt the older man's erection. Harry grinned and slowly undid Lucius' pants. He snorted in laughter at the fact that Lucius wore no underwear; somehow, it seemed to fit Lucius' seductive nature.
Harry moved downwards. He smiled as he licked the length of Lucius' erection, swirling his tongue around the slit at the tip. He took the whole of the tip into his mouth, his tongue flicking along the length as he moved downwards, accommodating most of Lucius into his mouth. Lucius moaned, thrusting up into Harry's mouth. Harry scraped his teeth lightly along Lucius' cock, smirking as he heard Lucius growl in both pain and pleasure. Harry continued his ministrations with his mouth, adding in a hand on Lucius' balls, massaging them, gently at first, but harder and harder, as his pace increased. Harry felt a sense of satisfaction as Lucius came with a groan. He swallowed, looking up at Lucius through his heavily made-up eyes. Harry smiled and pulled Lucius' pants off entirely. Lucius sat up and pulled Harry forward into a passionate kiss. Lucius bit Harry's lower lip, drawing blood. Harry moaned, enjoying the pain. Harry drew in breath sharply as Lucius' hand intruded into his hot pants, caressing his ass. He leaned into Lucius' hand, slipping off the last bit of clothing he wore.
Harry's eyes widened in shock as Lucius' finger entered him. He leaned back into Lucius' hand, throwing his head back as Lucius slipped in a second finger. He felt no pain; Lucius must have cast a silent preparation charm, like Blaise had been talking about. Lucius' fingers scissored inside him, causing Harry to shudder.
"Lucius…. I want you inside of me," Harry gasped, bucking his hips forward. Lucius turned Harry onto his back. He hovered over the raven-haired boy, and spread his legs.
"Are you sure you want this, Harry?" Lucius asked softly. Harry nodded.
"Please!" he cried. Lucius smiled a rather feral smile as he nudged Harry's hole, pushing the tip in. Harry's back arched as he pushed farther in. "Oh God, Lucius…"
"You're so tight," Lucius moaned, obviously in immense pleasure. Lucius began a steady pace, thrusting slowly, but gradually speeding up and getting rougher as Harry came, crying out Lucius' name. Lucius came closely after, pulling out of Harry and licking the white fluid off of the boy's chest.
Harry fell back on the bed, exhausted, but completely satisfied. Lucius wrapped his arms around Harry, softly stroking his hair. Harry smiled. He must look a mess, a sweaty mess with makeup smeared down his face from the sweat. Lucius smiled back at him and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you Harry," Lucius said softly, pulling the blanket over their lower bodies.
"I love you so much, Lucius. Don't ever forget that," Harry murmured, kissing Lucius' mouth gently.
"I love you too," Lucius assured him, truly feeling more whole than he ever had. He and Harry fell asleep, sated by their passions.
The animals on Harry's pendant were at rest now, the snake curled in the phoenix's wings, mirroring the way that Lucius laid with Harry, the blond hair spilling over the pale chest, arms wrapped around each other.
