Chapter Nineteen
Nagini Reveals All
The second the Dark Lord called for Snape and Lucius in both former (or present Lucius supposed now) Death Eaters appeared before the Dark Lord immediately. Both of them were wearing calm emotionless masks but Lucius was terrified even if he didn't show it. He had after all spent the last seven month fucking the Dark Lord's long lost son which Lucius somehow doubted would go over well with the Dark Lord.
If Harry had told the Dark Lord of their relationship the chances of Lucius making out of Crouch's manor alive was next to none. Who was he kidding? If Harry had told the Dark Lord he would be dead as soon as the Dark Lord saw him.
Soon as he walked in Lucius was expecting to be cut down where he stood but to his absolute surprise he wasn't. Lucius bowed lowering his head to the ground and was still not cut down despite their being ample opportunity to do so. Did that mean Harry hadn't said anything to his father?
Lucius gave his young lover a pointed look asking him what he had said. Harry shook his head in response knowing what Lucius was asking him. Lucius could have sagged in relief but he didn't partly because that would have given him away and partly because Lucius knew their secret wouldn't last nor would he last the Dark Lord's wrath.
He and Harry couldn't keep it a secret forever. It would be better to come out sooner than later. Lucius just didn't want to be anywhere near the Dark Lord when it happened. Lucius would have to speak to Harry about the correct way to tell his father that they were in a casual relationship.
'I would like to thank the both of you for protecting and teaching my son over the past few months,' the Dark Lord said.
Lucius doubted that the Dark Lord would still be singing the same tune in a few days or whenever it came out how he had got involved with his son. Lucius doubted the Dark Lord would still be thanking him then. Lucius could only hope that if only for Harry's sake the Dark Lord would not kill Lucius immediately.
'You're loyalty shall be rewarded,' the Dark Lord.
Lucius wondered what the Dark Lord would say when it was revealed where his loyalty to Harry came from. Somehow Lucius didn't think an award would be on the cards. Lucius really was fucked (in more ways than one).
'You have begun to make up for your desertion at the time I need you the most but I expect you to pay back the fourteen years that you have deserted me and my cause,' hissed the Dark Lord.
Lucius doubted that the Dark Lord would give him fourteen years to pay back. In fact Lucius doubted that the Dark Lord would give him fourteen days. In fact Lucius would feel lucky if he managed to get twelve hours of life in which he could sort out arrangements for Draco, Narcissa and Harry (the three most important people in his life).
'Of course, my Lord,' Snape said.
Snape inclined his head ever so slightly. Any less of an incline would have been deemed disrespectful but any more of an incline would have been seen to be reeking of the intense sarcasm that Lucius knew Severus Snape possessed and used as a weapon. Only Snape could get away with an incline like that where the rest of the Death Eaters did a full bow (some even going as far to kiss his robes like he was the second coming of Merlin).
'I will strive to do better, my Lord,' Lucius promised.
Lucius would do better if the Dark Lord allowed him to live but that was a big if. The Dark Lord was a great master. There were only one thing that had ever pushed him to his limits and that was James Potter. That was why Lucius did not expect the Dark Lord to show any leniency for what Lucius and Harry had done together.
Lucius was as ever stark in contrast to Snape with a theatrical bow that only Lucius Malfoy could do without looking like an idiot. Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy were opposites in many ways but still managed to be friends of a sort after all these years after meeting when Severus was a lonely outcast Half-Blood in Slytherin. Lucius who had grown up knowing the Dark Lord and aware that he too was a Half-Blood had no problems befriending the intelligent younger boy.
Lucius knew that some of the pretentiousness came from nervousness of speaking to his lover's father who happened to be his Lord and Master and completely ignorant of the fact his only son and heir was sleeping with Lucius Malfoy. Lucius was waiting for the truth to come out and his life to be over quite literally. Lucius knew the protectiveness that parenthood even parenthood never known before brought.
It was because of this that Lucius wouldn't blame the Dark Lord if he killed him where he stood when he found out the truth. Lucius knew that if one of his allies were to be found sleeping with Draco he would have reacted the same political nightmare be damned. Draco was after all his only son he would protect him from the evils of the world for as long as possible which the Dark Lord would be sure to feel the same with his newfound son especially a son who had already been hurt because of who his father was.
Naturally it was a completely different scenario not only because the Dark Lord had never known Harry but also because the Dark Lord and James Potter had clearly from what Lucius had seen of the Dark Lord and James' actions and reactions been completely in love with one another for a long time. Unlike Narcissa and Lucius which had been an arranged marriage between Lucius' sire and Narcissa's Uncle and Lord. Lucius respected Narcissa as Narcissa respected him but love was and never had been on the cards for them which Draco had long understood despite how he wished it was different.
Harry on the other had been born from that union which James had died due to Harry's birth and his status as Consort to the Dark Lord. Harry had been then turned into a weapon for the Light. Trained and brainwashed for one purpose.
To kill his father.
If Lucius was overprotective of his son and heir who had lived a safe and sheltered life with no war marring his life. Lucius knew that Draco was exceptionally spoiled by both Lucius and Narcissa. Still whatever parental protectiveness Lucius felt to Draco it was nothing compared to the overprotectiveness the Dark Lord was sure to feel to his only child.
Harry was the only reminder of the love that had been taken from him by one fearful madman. Add that to the fact that Dumbledore had been plotting both the Dark Lord and Harry's death from the moment of Harry's conception the Dark Lord had every reason to be overprotective. Lucius would have destroyed the world if anyone had even thought of doing to Draco what Dumbledore had done to Harry.
And Lucius may be a Dark and ruthless man but he was not the Dark Lord. Lucius could honestly say that he almost pitied those who had hurt Harry this way – almost. Lucius promised if he lived he would be at the Dark Lord's side punishing those who had hurt Harry with the Dark Lord.
'Yes you will,' agreed the Dark Lord with a slight hiss to his words. 'Lucius, give me your arm,' the Dark Lord said.
Lucius held out his left arm revealing the Dark mark that since the end of the war he had hidden from all except Harry and Narcissa. Not even Draco had seen the Dark Mark. Lucius had never talked to Draco about the war seeking to protect him from ignorance if the past was ever dragged up again which had happened to others many time but luckily his money kept the DMLE at bay for the most part at least.
Harry, on the other hand, had seen it many times before the young man had ever decided to learn Dark Magic (which he naturally excelled at) when he decided to join his father on the Dark side. Lucius had been expecting Harry to recoil when he saw the Dark Mark bared on his arm. However, at the time Harry hadn't even known what the Dark Mark was which had surprised Lucius because he thought for the Boy Who Lived's own protection he would have been taught how to identify marked Death Eaters.
Lucius had initially been surprised that Harry hadn't made note of it on the first time he had seen it but guessed that the boy just didn't want to call attention to it. Or that the Boy Who Lived would have preferred to pretend that he wasn't really sleeping with an ex-Death Eater. Lucius hadn't pushed the subject because he wasn't going to admit to anyone never mind the Boy Who Lived that he was a Death Eater.
It wasn't until after the revelations of Gringotts when Lucius had admitted to the boy to being a Death Eater and pointed out that he had seen the Dark Mark. He had been completely surprised that the Boy Who Lived had been kept in the dark so much that Harry had thought the Dark Mark was a creepy tattoo. Lucius had then had to explain what the Dark Mark was and what it meant.
The Dark Lord pressed a single devil red finger to the faded grey snake tattoo which had been darkening over the previous months which Lucius hoped would eventually become black as it had been previously. Lucius had realised before he had even begun sleeping with Harry that it was darkening because the Dark Lord was becoming stronger over the last year. Something which both his lover and Snape had confirmed when they had spoken about the possible locations of the Dark Lord and what the Dark Lord was up to.
According to both Harry and Severus they had been hearing whispers of the same on the Light. The Dark too had the same whisperings but mainly about the Dark Mark getting stronger. Much to Lucius' disgust the Light had more information on what the Dark side were doing than the Dark did which was a horrific situation to be in.
Dumbledore had been reading the signs but the old goat didn't seem to be doing anything to prepare. Of course, with the manipulative nature of Albus Dumbledore it was probable that he was preparing in secret especially as his main plan for the war was the set son on father. Lucius had never in all his years of the Dark Arts heard of something so despicable as the plan that Dumbledore had concocted when he had realised that the Dark Lord had fathered a child.
Kidnapping a husband and his unborn child away from their husband and father. Then faking a Prophecy that would lead to the father coming after the son. Or so they had theorised that the prophecy had been faked.
There were too many inconsistencies with it. For example, Lucius had been on the Board of Governors for years and had never heard a job interview to take place in the Hogshead. It was always in the Headmaster's office so why was it different for Trelawney where anyone could overhear what was said?
Then when knowing that the prophecy had been overheard by a known Death Eater instead of Oblviating him – it wasn't like Dumbledore didn't know how to Obliviate as proved by Harry Potter – he had kicked him out of his brother's bar and sent him on his way. Naturally the first person he told was the Dark Lord who naturally now had a second reason to go after the boy apart from believing he was the bastard son of his husband. Certainly it called into question the supposed loyalty of Wormtail to the Dark which was why Lucius had been so eager to knock the rat unconscious.
Then using Family Magic to destroy the Dark Lord. Family Magic was supposed to protect Wizarding children. To use protective magic to destroy an enemy was an abomination. When the Dark heard what had happened even the most pacifist Death Eaters would be baying for Dumbledore's blood.
Then after it came out that James Potter had survived due to the Dark Lord's love in spite of Dumbledore's horrific plan Dumbledore had killed him in cold blood. All to obtain the child of the Dark Lord. All to create a weapon immune to the Dark Lord's magic.
Then brainwashing the child with emotional manipulation, potions and spell to hate the father so that one day Harry would kill his own father. Then marry him off to one completely loyal to Albus so that they could split the money after killing Harry. The whole plan hinged on murder.
The whole plan was wrong on so many levels and for so many reasons that it was no wonder that Lady Fate had found a way to reveal it to the son destroying the Light's war plans. How Dumbledore could ever fool himself – or anyone – else that this was the right thing to do even for the "Greater Good" Lucius didn't want to know. The Dark may be counted as pure evil but Lucius had long come to the conclusion that the true evil one was Albus Dumbledore.
Lucius knew from past experience of the Dark Mark that the Dark Lord was summoning someone probably Barty Crouch Junior. It wasn't surprising that if the boy was to go back to Hogwarts that the Dark Lord was summoning all of his followers in Hogwarts who could protect Harry. Lucius would have done the same in the Dark Lord's position.
Lucius was interested to see who Crouch was masquerading as. Lucius had speculated that it was one of the foreign students possible from Durmstrang. After all nobody who was looking would notice as they didn't know the new students.
As they waited Lucius noticed Nagini staring at Harry. Lucius had originally thought it was because he could smell the similarity in scent between Harry and the Dark Lord. Then Harry saw Nagini do the same to him.
Lucius was worried that the Boa Constrictor was somehow able to tell that Harry was sleeping with him. Even more so when Lucius noticed when Harry gave a tiny shake of his head in the direction of the giant snake clearly begging the snake not to tell his father about the relationship that existed between Harry and Lucius. Lucius felt fear churning in his gut at what was going to happen when the snake opened its mouth to speak.
Lucius' heart sank when the Dark Lord began to speak in Parselmouth to his familiar. Lucius could see Harry trying to beg with his eyes for the snake not to say anything to his father but Lucius could see that the Dark Lord's familiar was going to say it anyway. Lucius knew that the connection between wizard and familiar made it impossible for Nagini to deny a direct request of her master's.
Lucius noticed Harry's subtle move which would allow Harry to jump to his defence when (not if) Nagini revealed the nature of Lucius' relationship with Hadrian Salazar Slytherin. Lucius doubted he was going to survive this day.
Nagini answered her master as Lucius had known she would. Lucius saw the reaction of both Slytherins. The half-form of the Dark Lord tensed and his eyes flashed with anger towards Lucius. Harry, on the other hand, gaped in surprise which Lucius didn't understand because Harry had noticed that Nagini had found the truth so would have expected to be betrayed once again.
Then Harry spoke in Parselmouth making Lucius shiver. Lucius had never heard the boy speak Parselmouth and it was sexy as hell although thinking that at this particular point in time wouldn't help any. The two Slytherins didn't seem to be concentrating on him which seemed to be a relief but Lucius knew it was only delaying the inevitable.
Lucius watched as the Dark Lord responded to whatever it was that Harry had said with a bite in his voice. Harry returned with a short hiss to his father's question. Harry was wearing a desperate, pleading look whilst he hissed quietly back to his father.
Then the thing Lucius had been waiting to happen but dreading anyway happened. The Dark Lord turned ruby red eyes on him. Eyes that were glittering with fury. Lucius could see murder shining in those red orbs.
Lucius knew that there was nothing that he could say that would convince the Dark Lord to not kill him. In fact anything that he said would only make his situation worse. Lucius could only hope that he wouldn't be tortured first.
Before the Dark Lord could say anything Harry leapt up positioning himself between Lucius and the Dark Lord. Lucius knew that Harry wouldn't budge but neither would the Dark Lord. Lucius knew that this was if anything digging him into an even bigger hole.
Harry was speaking quickly in Parselmouth clearly trying to reason with his furious father. The Dark Lord meanwhile didn't seem to be listening. Lucius knew that if Harry hadn't been standing in his way the Dark Lord would have killed him by now.
It was in this situation that the last person Lucius had ever expected to turn up turned up. Alastor Moody had walked into the bedroom of the Dark Lord to see the Dark Lord wand pointed at Lucius who was being protected by Harry Potter whilst Severus Snape watched on. It was the lack of reaction from the Dark Lord that led Lucius to realise that this was Crouch.
'Stupefy,' Crouch said.
Lucius watched as a red jet flew from Moody's staff knocking out Hadrian Slytherin cold. The Dark Lord's response was quite natural (for the Dark Lord at least). Crouch ended up under the Cruciatus curse.
Meanwhile Lucius picked up the boy and carried him out of the line of fire. Severus began to check the boy out. As a Potions Master Severus had to have a Mediwizard License so he could administer Potions when needed.
'Severus,' the Dark Lord said whilst still torturing Crouch, 'take my son out of here. Look after him. And he is pregnant.'
Lucius gulped. No wonder Nagini was able to tell that they were sleeping together. The foetus must have Harry's and his scent mingled that was what Nagini was able to smell. No wonder Harry was so shocked and the Dark Lord was so furious.
He was dead. Not only had Lucius conducted an affair with the Dark Lord's long lost son he had also knocked the boy up. How had the contraception spells failed? How many months was Harry along? It couldn't be very long Harry hadn't shown any signs of pregnancy.
'Son?' whispered Crouch.
Lucius transferred the boy to Severus Snape who looked at him like he was already there which Lucius supposed he already was. Crouch may have reacted badly but given the circumstance it wasn't surprising. Really anyone could have made the same mistake.
'Yes, Barty,' hissed the Dark Lord, 'son. The child I never knew I had. The child you've just attacked.'
'My Lord,' Crouch whispered. 'I'm sorry. I didn't know. I thought he was attac-'
'Did you think I couldn't take on one teenage boy who didn't even have his wand out?' demanded the Dark Lord.
'N-n-n-no My Lord,' stuttered Crouch.
'Good,' the Dark Lord said. 'I called you here to protect my heir whilst he is at Dumbledore's school. Maybe I should be more concerned about protecting him from you.'
'M-m-my Lord,' stuttered Crouch. 'I offer my most humble apologies.'
'Leave us,' hissed the Dark Lord. 'If you have caused my son any permanent harm this will look like nothing compared to what I will do to you. Do you understand?'
'Y-y-yes, Master,' Crouch whispered.
Crouch wasted no time in fleeing from the Dark Lord's room. Lucius wished he could do the same but knew it would do no good. The only chance of his survival would be to convince the Dark Lord that it was best for Harry to have him around.
Lucius found himself under the effects of a choking spell. Lucius began coughing and spluttering as the spell increased in strength. Eventually he was let go and fell to his knees before the Dark Lord trying to bring in more air to his deoxygenated lungs.
Before he was even done heaving Lucius felt the Hogwarts Express hammer into his head. Not stupid enough to even think about denying the Dark Lord Lucius let the Dark Lord into his mind. The Dark Lord wasn't gentle with the relentless pursuit of his memories and emotions.
It was November I had come back from a meeting with Professor Dumbledore on behalf of the Minister. The Minister was having a lot of difficulties because of the fourth champion. Then I ran into said fourth the champion the reason for the political nightmare that was currently going on.
'Mr Potter,' I responded silkily.
I could feel wafts of luscious power coming off of the boy. I could tell that the boy was angry, stressed and scared. Ah he must have found out about the dragons I thought in amusement. I would be scared in that situation too.
'I'm not in the mood, Malfoy,' growled the boy.
Potter then tried to bush me Lucius Abraxas Malfoy out of the way like the obnoxious Gryffindor that everyone thought he was. Naturally I wasn't going to move out of the way of a brattish teenager like Harry Potter. Then Potter did something I would never have expected.
Flashes of lust came then as Potter pushed me against the wall plundering my mouth. Clothes were ripped. They somehow ended up in a broom cupboard. Trousers fell to the floor. Potter took me caring not for my comfort only for his relief.
Lucius felt his mind being left as he was left breathing heavily on the floor. Lucius didn't blame the Dark Lord for leaving at that point. Lucius knew he would hate to see what the Dark Lord was about to see if it had been Draco.
Never had been Lucius gladder that the boy had taken him first. At least no one could say that he had seduced the boy but it probably wasn't great that Lucius had been attracted to the boy's power more than anything else. He didn't look up from the floor knowing that the Dark Lord would (and did) plough into his mind once more.
The next memories came in flashes of masturbating to the thought of Harry. The Yule Ball seduction. This time Lucius was too afraid to look up. Lucius knew he had no excuse there as he had seduced the boy.
More masturbation which showed just how taken by a sixteen year old boy Lucius Malfoy was. Then there was Lucius' decision to enter a purely sexual relationship with the boy. The letter and Potter turning up unable to resist.
'Hello Mister Malfoy,' Harry said.
I could see that the boy was trying to be adult and sophisticated but I could see that the boy was nervous which caused a smirk to appear on my face. Their other two sexual encounters had been on the spur of the moment (well for Harry in the case of the latter. This had to be nerve wracking to the sixteen year old boy.
'Lucius,' the boy murmured seductively.
I couldn't help but notice how the boy shivered at the seductive whisper. How turned on by me the boy was. Every word I said effected the boy. I wanted to make the boy cry out in pleasure. I wanted to take the boy's cries from him.
'All things considered we should call each other by our first names. Don't you think?' I suggested slyly.
'Lucius,' Potter tried. 'So what is this?' asked Potter.
'What would you like it to be?' I asked calmly.
'It would be best if the public remained unaware of this set up,' suggested Potter.
'Indeed,' I agreed amused at the boy still trying to sound intelligent when he was clearly out of his depth. 'But it should be left as a no strings attached affair. Unless,' I smirked because I loved riling the boy and seeing all his angry power flow around him 'That is too dirty for a Gryff-'
'I have come here,' Potter said. 'Meaning I want this.'
Once again Lucius found himself back in the present. Lucius wondered what the Dark Lord thought of that. After all they were both in this together despite the fact that Lucius had seduced the boy. Lucius waited for the next round of Legimency.
The memories that came over the next month flitted past them. Memories of meetings that the Dark Lord unsurprisingly didn't look to deep into other than to make sure it was consensual. Lucius had a feeling he liked the scars Harry was covered in even less than Lucius did.
Then they were at Hogsmeade. The day when everything changed. The day when Weasley and Granger were revealed to be the traitors that they were. The day that Harry had come to him when he had no one else to come to.
All I could see was black robes which ran at him beginning to kiss and tear at his robes with earnest. This wasn't Harry's normal actions. I could tell that something had happened to hurt him but what I couldn't tell but I being me fucked him first before turning to find out what was wrong with my young lover.
'Mister Potter,' I said seductively. 'My, what has happened to get you in such a state? To let your walls fall so dramatically.'
'I have no idea what you're talking about. Nothing has happened. The question is why you think something has happened? Why dear Lucius do you actually care about me? What happened to your Pure-Blood upbringing now?' mocked Harry. 'I was betrayed. 'I had told my so called friends-'
Then came the revelation of what had happened. What the Weasleys and Granger had done to Harry. Lucius explaining the truth of his beliefs and their decision to go and see the goblins. The huge revelation.
Then there was the plan of what to do about Dumbledore's embezzlement that Lucius had been very impressed at. It was another time that Lucius had seen that Harry was smarter than Harry pretended to be. Now Harry was showing the intelligence to everyone.
I stared at the birth certificate fear bubbling in my gut. In the name of Magic I had been sleeping with the Dark Lord's son. The Dark Lord was going to kill me. He wouldn't even consider that we had gotten together before this revelation.
What did he do? Did he end their relationship? No it was too late he was already in a relationship with the boy? Anyway he didn't want to. He didn't know where this would go but he did not want to end their relationship.
The Dark Lord went through the rest of his memories finishing with Lucius deciding to come here despite knowing that if the Dark Lord found out about his and his son's relationship Lucius would end up dead. The Dark Lord pulled out his mind. Lucius remained on the ground waiting for the Dark Lord's judgement on him.
Whatever happened Lucius would take it. Lucius had known and accepted for months that it was likely it would end up like this. It would end up with Lucius dead on the floor but never had he expected it to be revealed because of the 0.01% chance of the protection spell failing to subdue the Sex Magic which could produce a child. Never before did Lucius think there was a chance he could have a second child that Lucius would never know.
Lucius looked up at his Lord who still had his yew wand in hand. Lucius couldn't read the Dark Lord's expression but knowing the Dark Lord it wouldn't be good. Lucius closed his eyes as the Dark Lord opened his mouth.
