Chapter 21

Lucius had returned to school, even when he was not pursuing Harry any more. He had enjoyed helping to teach, and wanted to be close to his son. And with his father as the school governor, they could both continue to be at the school. He could admit perhaps some had to do with his own red head, though he could see him in London as well. In Hogsmeade and school he had more reason, to bump into the young man. Even with his son and brother knowing, he was not about to willing to admit to even himself, what was going on. Okay he was attracted to Charlie, and since Harry had removed the curse his brother put on him, he could take the next step. Draco and his brother both seemed quite amused, that he had found another young partner, and a Weasley. His son was not one to comment, considering his own choice. Lucius knew he had to be careful, as the boys could go into town evenings and weekends, any time they had no class. He didn't have the privacy he had once had before.

On Halloween weekend, a few couples seemed to have the same plans. The Halloween feast was on Sunday, as seniors, they could enjoy the weekend. Saturday was a Hogsmeade weekend for the others, so Harry was not the only one going abroad.

Harry watched his Uncle. "Chaperoning?"

Severus smirked. "Not this weekend."

Harry shook his head. "I meant me."

Severus turned. "You are seventeen."

Harry shrugged. "I thought perhaps you forgot."

Severus understood. "I have my own plans."

Harry smiled. "No better company."

Severus grunted. "I don't plan to be a third wheel."

Harry shrugged. "Could make it a double date."

Severus smirked. "Planning to try to play match maker on me?"

Harry smirked. "Don't think it would be hard."

Severus kept walking. "Think yourself a pro now?"

Harry walked with him. "No, but Moony mentioned heading to London."

Severus nearly went red. "Indeed."

Harry shrugged. "You can admit you are dating."

Severus grunted. "Bad enough without encouragement."

Harry smiled when he saw both men waiting. "I already call him Uncle."

Severus watched as Harry went to Abraxas, and accepted a kiss. They were far from hot and heavy, Ron didn't need to chaperone, but the physical side had picked up. Severus doubted his nephew would go the full way, until they wed, but was happy to see that they were close. He could see the smile on Remus, and that he too was happy, watching. They both wanted to see Harry happy, and this contract be good for him. Severus could admit perhaps he had been attracted to the wolf since school, but Harry had been their concern as of late. But as Harry was now settling into it, they had agreed to go out for lunch, though not really a date yet. But he was not about to tell Harry that.

Harry wen to go with Abraxas, and the two of them shared a smile as they went. They had both seen the looks, and Harry knew the two were going out for lunch. They may not admit to dating soon, but Harry knew it was only a matter of time.

Harry was happy as they got to London. "I know its just lunch but hope for a date soon."

Abraxas chuckled. "I doubt you'll have long to wait, but I'd like to focus on our own."

Harry shared a kiss with him. "I for one was intrigued by the invite."

Abraxas handed him a daisy but took out his wand. "A change is needed."

Harry was confused when his robes were a coat. "We are going muggle?"

Abraxas nodded. "Is that okay?"

Harry smiled. "Never thought to see the day."

Abraxas shrugged. "One thing all Malfoys have in common."

Harry smirked. "I know your son has a television and such, but I don't see him going muggle."

Abraxas shrugged. "He may surprise you."

Harry wondered. "What are we up to?"

Abraxas shrugged. "Muggles know how to do Halloween."

Harry smirked. "I think we are a bit old for trick or treating."

Abraxas laughed. "There is more to do."

Halloween may not have been as big in the UK, but Abraxas did his research. He found out about a huge party being held at a hotel, but took the first to London Zoo. Harry had to hide a smirk, reminding the man this was for kids too, but they had a good time. They got to be hands on with some of the creepy crawly critters, including some of the smaller snakes.

Abraxas handed one to Harry. "Not so bad."

Harry smiled at the little snake. "A bit smaller than my last."

Abraxas was not thinking basilisk. "Others perhaps."

Harry kissed him. "Others perhaps."

Abraxas watched Harry with the animals. "You have a way with them."

Harry shrugged. "I have always liked them."

Abraxas was reminded. "Yet you'd have not chosen Hagrid's class."

Harry shrugged. "Had thought auror."

Abraxas didn't buy it. "There is more."

Harry agreed. "Love Hagrid, but not his class."

Abraxas went to apparate them. "Our other plans await."

Harry smirked. "Not wanting to do the haunted house again?"

Abraxas laughed. "Once was enough, besides I have more grown up plans."

Harry went into his arms. "I like the sounds of that."

Abraxas apparated them. "I hope you approve."

Harry went stark white. "A hotel?"

Abraxas calmed him. "There is a party, no room."

Harry knew he had over reacted, and he was just on edge. Unlike his son, Abraxas had never given Harry reason to worry, about such things. Oh Harry knew the man was attracted, and would make love to him tonight, if Harry wanted. But he had more restraint, and he would not rush Harry. He had seen how his son had hurt Harry, and he would never push him. It wasn't simply because Harry was his soul mate, but did play a part.

Harry was drawn out of his thoughts by a shock. "I am seeing things right?"

Lucius and Charlie had come to London, hoping for a bit of privacy. They would not hide away, but assumed in London, could go out. They had gone muggle, knowing few in their world, would be at this kind of event. It was not that they were ashamed, just neither of them were ready to announce it to the world. Well neither of them were willing to admit, to themselves or each other, what this was any ways.

Charlie looked at the man, and at the location. He was surprised he had been brought to a hotel, though not really by the business. It was that it was muggle, and there was a Halloween party going, that surprised him. It definitely did not seem the man's taste.

Charlie eyed him. "A muggle party?"

Lucius shrugged. "No one will see us."

Charlie pouted. "Ashamed of me?"

Lucius didn't buy it. "We both agreed."

Charlie conceded. "Still not sure how I agreed to this."

Lucius looked around. "Seems your style."

Charlie agreed. "Not one of your posh galas."

Lucius grunted. "I have been told I need to be less stuffy."

Charlie stopped. "And this?"

Lucius paused. "I believe it is called a date."

Charlie didn't find it funny. "You wish to court?"

Lucius grunted. "I was taught you don't bed at least before dinner."

Charlie laughed. "I believe there has been food."

Lucius remembered. "I am trying."

Charlie could see it. "But for what?"

Lucius barely admitted. "You are not some whore."

Charlie grunted. "Wow, what a compliment."

Lucius stopped him from leaving, and corrected himself. Lovers were common, though he had never taken one. His father had taught him you respected your partners, whether wife or lover. Neither he nor his father had taken a lover, but they had always believed such. He had never thought he'd start to date, Harry was the closest thing. But if he was going to pursue Charlie, he didn't simply see bedding him. It seemed they were going to have sex, unless they were kept apart. And he didn't seem capable of keeping his distance. And now that Harry was with his dad, he was free to pursue his own paths, and they seemed to lead to him. He had tried resisting, but was finding he didn't wish to.

Charlie watched the man, and he had remained. He could admit he was attracted, and he had never been one only for casual sex before. He had never dated much, but he had wanted more. But he had been so attracted to Lucius, he had ignored that.

Charlie saw the party. "Going in there?"

Lucius nodded. "Date first."

Charlie reminded him. "You only said dinner."

Lucius didn't buy it. "We will never make it to dessert."

Charlie shrugged. "Warming spells."

Lucius shook his head. "Date first."

Charlie reached into his pants. "Are you certain?"

Lucius groaned but nodded. "Very."

Charlie withdrew but he whispered. "Better be quick."

Lucius kissed him. "Salad."

Charlie was about to say something when he heard a clearing of a throat. "Who….."

Harry eyed them. "It seems our plan worked."

Lucius went red. "I assume."

Abraxas watched his son. "Interesting choice."

Lucius smirked. "I could almost say the same."

Harry looked at Charlie. "What will your brothers say?"

Charlie smirked. "You say one word, and I'll tell who played match maker."

Harry laughed, and assured his brother, he could hold his tongue. Lucius and Charlie were relieved, they took it well, and of the secrecy. Harry watched as the two headed up to a room, talking about room service. He shared a smile with Abraxas, and they headed back to school. They had enjoyed the food and some of the party, but had to head back to the school. He had tried to set Charlie and Lucius up, but never thought that it would work. Draco had hinted at something though, and he had to wonder. He was fine, not sure how the brothers would take it, or parents.

Abraxas led him to Gryffindor. "Interesting end."

Harry agreed. "Good end."

Abraxas laughed. "I hope his other brothers approve."

Harry smirked. "Not hold my breath on some."

Abraxas reminded him. "They accepted you with us, and you are like a son."

Harry conceded. "I don't see them coming out unless they get serious."

Abraxas shrugged. "I believe that may have been an attempt."

Harry grimaced. "I don't want to imagine an attempt at what."

Abraxas agreed. "Not for my son."

Ron appeared and he was white. "You will never believe."

Hermione tried to calm him. "It wasn't that bad."

Harry was worried. "What happened?"

Ron looked deathly pale. "He was kissing a Malfoy."

Hermione reminded Ron. "So is Harry."

Ron shook his head. "This is different."

Harry realized. "You saw them?"

Hermione turned. "How long have you known?"

Harry assured him. "Tonight. I didn't know you were in London."

Ron stopped. "We weren't, we were in town."

Harry clammed up, and realized the mistake he had just made. He had forgotten about Draco, and his own red headed obsession. Harry had never imagined even one Weasley with a Malfoy, not to mention two. But it seemed Harry rubbed off on them, and the impossible had been happening. He had no idea what he was going to say, and from the looks on both, it would not simply pass over.

Ron looked. "I saw Draco snogging my brother in Hogsmeade. Who are you talking about?"
