Harry was on his dinner break but he couldn't seem to sit still. He had foolishly thought when he was adopted his so called father would stop ruining his life. First it had been Stewart and then with his son trying to have Harry expelled. Now he had attacked Harry's dad and his father's husband as well as eleven others. He wanted to focus on med school and his husband. Now he and Oliver were living with his parents and followed by security. He again felt guilty as he put Oliver in danger. The closer he came to loving his husband the more guilty he had felt. Oliver knew and kept assuring him he cared so deeply for Harry he could deal with a few insane relatives.
He was almost done his break but he went to check on Hudson. His kids had gone back to school now assured he would make it. He had convinced Michael to go home for some rest. Demelza actually told him she was even happier to have him as a brother as she knew he could be here for her dads.
Harry came into the room and noticed Hudson's monitoring spells were off "What?"
As he raced over to the bed relieved to see the man was alive a voice came "How did I know Saint Harry the bastard would come and check on him?"
Harry's blood ran cold as he turned around. Standing in the door to the bathroom and dressed in healer robes was his so called father. He would have thought the man had enough brains to run. He had truly thought the security was more about Lily or Evan possible attempting. The fool had killed two high lords and poisoned eleven more. He would be kissed when caught and the man knew it. He should be lucky it wasn't a hundred years before when he would be tortured first.
Harry hadn't even his normal wand. Healers had special medical wands and his usual was in his locker. He thought about the aurors but they must have thought James was a healer. He knew without checking that the door was warded.
James smirked "I should have seen Michael had an accident as soon as he got pregnant. I am sure that old geezer over there wouldn't have minded."
Harry put himself between an unconscious Hudson and James "Get out of here. You may still be able to flee. You know you will get the kiss."
James sneered at him and threw a severing charm at him which Harry narrowly deflected "I am not going any where till I finish what I started."
For the first time in years Harry focussed mentally. He hadn't had to use his empath skills for defence in a long time but he needed to buy time. He touched a pendant he wore around his neck. It had been given to him by his dad a few days ago. Lucius didn't like the fact his son's guard wasn't following him around. He understood about work but he could not help but worry about his son.
Harry struggled and the burning spell to make James drop his wand only lasted a moment. His head began to throb and in a moment of distraction James summoned his wand. Harry only knew one thing that could cause this.
James smirked and pointed at his nose "This hospital needs to keep equipment better secure. I would have thought it would work faster."
Harry realized an airborne anaesthetic was flooding the room and was why Hudson was out "You won't get away with this."
James had used a spell so he wasn't affected at all. Harry was fighting it but with no fresh air he was fighting a losing battle with it. He couldn't use his mental powers if he couldn't focus. And of course James had known about them since he had used them on Evan to stop an attack. It seemed odd it was James' Slytherin bastard who inherited a rare trait from their ancestor Godric and not his precious heir.
James hit him with a cruciatus curse which floored him "I have been waiting to do this all your life."
Harry found thanks to the gas in the room he only felt some but it was still enough to floor him "You don't have the balls."
James sneered and sent another cruciatus at him before he walked towards the bed. He would finish both of them off. His only regret was he would not see his former whore's face when he found both his husband and son dead. Harry knew his intent and he had to do something. He thought his so called father mad as they could hear security and yet he remained. He knew he had to act as security wouldn't get in soon enough. He spotted a wand on the floor and realize Hudson must have dropped it before he passed out. He knew it was risky to use someone else's wand but he had no other choice.
"No." Harry shouted as James moved to kill Hudson and shot off a spell before the world went black.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Lucius had been meant to be on bed rest or at least home but he had a bad feeling. He was pacing when he got a floo call from security that Harry had activated his pendant. He and Narcissa rushed to the hospital while Draco went to find Oliver. A million things were running through them and none of them good. They found themselves in the hall where Hudson's room was. Michael and then Draco with Oliver soon appeared. It seemed Oliver had been on his way home already.
The door to Hudson's room was open but there were aurors in there and healers. Lucius held his wife and son to him. Michael who knew his husband and assumed from the Malfoys his son was in there sunk into a chair. Oliver was pacing and playing with his ring.
Lucius was shocked when his unconscious son was brought out "What is wrong?"
Moody answered as the healer left with Harry "James attacked Harry and Hudson."
From what they could tell James released a potion used to put surgical patients to sleep. He contained it and blocked himself. Hudson looked to have been out during all of this but Harry fought it. Moody hated to admit Harry was the victim of a pair of cruciatus curses.
Moody tried to calm them "He is out because he used Hudson's wand to knock James out. He should wake in the morning I was told."
Michael came over "My husband? Please tell me both of them are okay? And you got James?"
This time Moody at least had good news. James had been knocked out by Harry even if the spell also back fired. He had been removed moments before they came and would wake up in a holding cell. His use of the cruciatus and two more counts of attempted murder were added to his list. But James had known it hadn't mattered. The deaths of Stewart and Lord Varis would have him kissed alone.
A healer finally came over to them and asked for Harry's family. For the first time it was Oliver who acted as next of kin for Harry as his husband. They were all led into the private room. Michael followed after checking on his sleeping husband for a moment.
The healer assured Oliver "He will have no lasting affects. He simply needs some rest for a week. But he can go home in a day or two."
Oliver was relieved as he sunk down next to Harry and kissed him as the oxygen was in his nose. "Thank Merlin. I am not ready to be a widower."
The family looked on and couldn't help but smile. They had hoped love would come and slowly but surely it was. Narcissa noticed Michael in the door unsure. It was like when Harry worried about going in to see Hudson. Michael always respected that the Malfoys were Harry's parents. But that was still his little boy.
Narcissa assured him when he was going to go "I will send word when he wakes. I know he will want to see you too."
