Previously:

"*Who did these things to you*" the man hissed out. Harry was not sure if he had meant to speak in the snake language but answered in the same tongue.

"*My relatives were not the biggest fan of magic mmmy lord*" He stumbled over the words "*They tried to beat the magic out of me*"

The dark lord growled turning away towards the desk in the corner of the room leaving Harry to wonder why the older man who he was fairly sure still wanted to kill him was so upset.

Chapter 6

Severus followed Lucius through the floo the next day after a peaceful sleep in. He was as happy as his cold heart could be that he finally had some time alone with his lover. He had missed the man the last few weeks, Dumbledore always keeping him busy with tasks for the school as well as the order, Severus knew that the old goat had been keeping him away from his lover on purpose. And on top of that he didn't know how some of his 7th years had managed to make it to newt level, but he was sure the babbling idiots were all going to fail. Straightening up and dusting himself off he was surprised to see Healer Brahone sitting opposite their lord.

Looking around the room and not seeing Harry, Severus addressed the two men. "My lord, Azyus" Severus was concerned for Potters health when Tom looked up, his red eyes blazing with barely contained fury "Ah Severus, Lucius. Healer Brahone has just put Harry to bed with a calming draught after we found out some very disturbing news about his childhood." Tom held out a piece of parchment towards Lucius but when his lover did not move to take it, just stared at it like the parchment would bite him, Severus strode forward taking it.

As he read over what Azyus scans had uncovered, Severus had to sit before he fell. He had given that boy hell. He had not said a kind thing to him before yesterday and that was only because he had not accused his lover of the unthinkable but before that he had been abusive to the young boy who looked as if he had been physically abused his whole life. Severus felt sick. If Lily were alive, she would have his balls for allowing this to happen to her son, to not seeing the signs and possibly making it worse. How was the boy still so kind and gentle? He himself had a similar childhood but whereas Potter was still truly kind, Severus had turned into a cold hateful man.

"Luc, love you should read this." His voice was shaky and rough. As the blond read over the parchment Severus looked up addressing their lord "How did Dumbledore keep this from us all? Me not seeing it I understand. I admit I have been blinded by my hatred of the boy's father but how did he keep Minnie or Poppy from finding out."

Tom studied him before answering "Maybe they knew, or maybe they didn't want to see the truth and were happy to believe the lies. The question is what do we do with this information and how will it help us bring the old fool down?"

Severus was mulling over the possibilities of torture on the muggle family when the door behind them slammed shut, turning wand drawn he realized that Lucius had left the room. Turning back, he met the ruby gaze "He wants this child my lord but he's as afraid as a Malfoy will allow themselves to be." Pushing his lover from his mind for the moment knowing that this extra information about Harry would now be playing over in his mind making the blond need some space Severus met the beautiful gaze of his old friend Azyus. "What else did you find out? What did the boy say?"

Startling sapphire eyes met his "As I put Lord Potter to bed he said that it had all started when he accidently used magic at age 5 to get away from his cousin and ended up on the roof. He had stayed up there as long as he could but when it started getting dark, he got scared as any child would and headed down. He slipped, fell on his arm breaking it. His uncle beat him for the first time ignoring his broken arm. They never took him to the muggle doctors letting the arm heal out of place. Every time after that when he accidently did something wrong in their eyes he was beaten or worse." the man said voice husky, tears filling his eyes. "He informed me that the headmaster was aware of how his relatives treated him, getting Lord Potters supposed friends to heal him on the train back to Hogwarts. Dumbledore had told him when he didn't want to return to his relatives that he had to return to keep him safe from our lord."

Severus did not need the man to explain what the worse part was, if it had upset the unshakable healer, he could guess what the young man had gone through at the hands of his uncle.

"I will be sending a raid party with some of Potters blood to his relatives house." Tom snarled making a shiver run down Severus spine "They can reside in Lucius dungeons and enjoy our hospitality. Severus there is a number of healing potions the boy will need. I know you have little time, but I want you to be the one to brew them." Tom turned his crimson eyes to the healer "Stay until he wakes and administer any potions you already have made. Give a list of potions to Dippy for Severus. Severus, you better return to Hogwarts. Ill deal with Lucius." Severus could hear the disgust in the dark lord's voice. Smirking at the thought of the darkest lord dealing with a hormonal teen and an overly dramatic blond lord, Severus said his goodbyes.

Lucius POV:

Lucius read the words but found himself having trouble processing them. Harry Potter, Golden boy, savior of the wizarding world had been raped, abused and beaten from his own relatives. Lucius just could not understand how everyone who had contact with the boy had all missed it.

Silently turning he headed for his chambers letting the door fall shut behind him. He was into much shock to care if the door slammed or not.

Sitting on the edge of his bed, head in his hands Lucius thought back to all the times he had come across the young man. In the boys second year when they had first met at that idiot Lockhart's book signing, Harry had been so small and thin his clothes hanging off of him, many sizes too large. He had sneered at the boys look but when he really thought about it, Harry had been wearing similar clothes that were almost falling apart at the seams when they had met at the Quidditch world cup, and the Malfoy lord seemed to remember the boy having dark circles under his eyes and an even thinner frame then their last meeting. There were obvious signs of abuse now that he had decided to look for those signs.

How was the boy ever going to forgive Lucius for all that he had bestrode upon him over the years enough to allow him to be a full-time father to this child. How was the boy ever going to forgive his lover?

Lucius let out a groan, he finally had a chance to have a bigger family and he had to go and ruin it by being a pompous vicious ass in the past.

He knew he needed to speak to the boy but first they needed to work on getting the boy better and kill those damn muggles.
