Chapter 11!
"Don't you even think about lifting your wand to a member of my family."
All heads turn to the doorway to see Sev with an ice cold glare fixed on the elder Malfoy.
"Snape? You needent use your cover, Draco knows and I'm sure that he has told his little lover."
"This isn't my cover Lucius. I'm truly a supporter of the light and you are threatening my family."
Lucius's deep laughter filled the room, but it soon faded when he saw the look on the Potion Master's face.
"You're a traitor? After all my family has done for you? You dare betray me? My father took you in when you had no where else to go and this is how you repay him?"
"By doing what's right."
"By siding with vermin is more like it."
"I don't expect you to understand my reasons, but I will not stand by and let you hurt Draco, Harry or Alisa. Yes your father took me in and gave me a roof over my head and supper in my belly and the chance to have great power, but these three have given me so much more then that."
"And what pray tell is more important than a home and power?"
"It's something you know nothing about Luce, they gave me love."
At this Lucius laughed again.
"Love? Love is nothing more then a weak emotion that makes people do reckless things."
"Love is the power that destroyed the dark lord the first time and I will see to it that the second time will be for good."
"No one was speaking to you boy."
"You barge into my home where Draco and I are trying to raise our child in peace. Then you proceed to threaten us and our loved ones and you think I should obey your whims? What makes you so sure that I won't just throw you out onto your ass this minute?"
"You're a filthy mud blood you haven't got the power or the balls. I could kill you at any second I wished to, now shut up as you're wasting my time."
During this argument ,Sev had worked his way over to Draco and helped him stand. The young blonde cradled his baby girl in his arms and took a few shaky steeps so that he stood beside Harry.
"Father, I'm only asking you nicely once. Please leave your presence here is unwanted. You said you came to find me and here I am. I'm not ill treated and I'm doing quite well. Tell mother that I miss her and wish her well. Now you may leave."
Draco's words came out smooth as silk although it was plane to see he was shaken to the bone with fear.
"You, I raised you better then this. You know the power of our lord and yet you dare betray him?"
"For my mate I would do anything. You of all people should understand that."
The older blonde flinched.
"Ah that explains your stupidity. It's a shame; you could have been quite powerful."
"I never wanted to be all powerful, father. I just wanted to be with people that care for me and I've got that here now please, it's Alisa's feeding time."
Lucius stood still analyzing the group of men before him. Two of which he had trusted with his life and the third that had shown his son the only human ,other then his wife, he was truly willing to die for what it meant to love.
"Sev, look me in the eyes and tell me you're on the side of light."
The dark-haired man complied, quickly, and Lucius fell into a moment of deep thought. When he looked up, he had a determined look on his face.
"Can you brew the Deconana's potion?"
Slowly, the dark haired professor nodded his head.
"Of course I can brew any potion ever brewed but why would you want…wait…Lucius, you can't be serous? You could die. She could die. It's been nearly one hundred years since anyone's tried it."
"And if anyone can pull it off, we can."
"Uh excuse me what's the Deconana's potion?"
"It's Deconana's potion, Harry and it breaks the bond between a veela and his or her mate."
Harry quickly wrapped his arms around Draco and pulled him tight to his chest.
"I'm not taking that stuff no matter what you say Lucius."
Harry growled possessively, glaring at the tall blonde.
"Not for you, fool, but for me."
"What? Why?"
"Because, as you said my son, I know all to well what the bond will make one do."
"Are you sure? Once you take it there's no going back and you'll have to find a new mate and go through the whole binding process again."
"I already know who my new mate will be and I'm fully prepared to except the consequences of my actions."
"Very well let me speak with Albus. Lucius you come with me I'll not leave you alone with the boys until I trust you not to turn on then."
"Fine but first can I see my granddaughter."
Draco looked up at Harry unsure of what to say Harry just gave him a soft nod and released him and Alisa from the protective hug had been holding them in. Slowly Draco unbundled his baby girl and held her just out of his fathers reach.
"She's got the Malfoy hair what's her full name?"
"It's Alisa Lily Malfoy."
"She's beautiful."
"Come on let's go, if we're lucky I can get a start on that potion tonight."
Lucius nodded and followed Sev out of the room.
