Thank you to everyone for your patience. This is a short chapter yes but I thought you would all like an update sooner rather than later.

Previously:

At that moment Harry had never been more grateful to anyone else and was that not a strange thought seeing as it was the dark lord who had taken so much from him in the past that he was suddenly grateful too.

"Yes of course my lord" the lord Malfoy said, Harry could still detect a hint of a pout in his voice. "Mr Potter, please eat up if you would rather something that is not in front of you, I'm sure my elf's will be happy to make it for you."

Relaxing at the sight of the small smile the other man sent his way, Harry started to fill his plate with all the delicious food that was laid out in front of him thankful his stomach was not protesting this time. He was so busy devouring his food he missed the relieved glance the dark lord and Malfoy lord sent to each other.

CHAPTER 8

After Lucius had watched the young Potter lord finish his mammoth lunch not entirely sure where the food had disappeared to in such a small body, he had led the younger man to his private study up on the third floor of the manor. They were silent as they climbed the stairs, Lucius lost in deep thought, thinking about what he was going to say to Harry that would allow him to be a part of his unborn child's life. Pushing open his heavy oak wood door he gestured for the other to enter before him. He watched as Harry walked over to the chairs by the fire, sitting in a way that made him look as small as possible, it was then that Lucius realized that he was expecting Lucius to tell him he didn't want this. Resisting the urge to laugh at how stressed they both were about the others rejection Lucius grabbed the chair closest to the one Harry had chosen, pulling it over so it sat directly in front of the other man.

Sitting on the edge of the seat, Lucius grabbed Harry's hand ignoring the small grasp.

"I am very sorry for the way I have acted." He started silencing Harry with his free hand when it looked like the other was going to interrupt. "Please let me say this so there will be no more confusion on your part" when Harry nodded, Lucius continued "I did not handle the news well but for a very different reason then I think you believe. I have always wanted to have more children you see, Narcissa however, was a shew of a woman and believed that after Draco was born her duties as my wife were finished. When my lord returned, he allowed me to divorce the vile woman, giving me the opportunity to court and bond with the man I had always wanted. Severus, as you know, is not the most maternal man and is very happy with just the two of us. That is until last night when you came along and showed us there was another option." He paused looking up into the watery green eyes, squeezing the hand in his a little tighter. "I am so sorry for what you went through, I promise we will do everything in our power to find who did this and make them pay. However, if you will let us Severus and I would like to be there to support you and help you raise our child. Our child doesn't have to know how they came about all they will need to know is how very loved and cherished they are to have a father who braved the people meant to be his enemies to keep his child safe."

Lucius let his head drop, starring at the smaller hand that was clutched tightly in his. He wasn't sure which one of them was squeezing the others hand hardest. The Quaffle was now in Harrys court, all Lucius could do was wait. Thankfully the younger man put him out of his misery almost instantly by throwing his arms around Lucius neck, sobbing out words that he was pretty sure were "yes please, can't do this all alone."

Wrapping his arms gently around the other Lucius pulled him gently till he was sitting sideways on the older man's lap. Harry snuggled deeper into his shoulder still sobbing. As Lucius ran what he hoped was soothing circles over the younger man's back he was relieved that he hadn't been pushed away.

After a while, slowly Harrys sobs quietened, becoming hiccups but he still stayed where he was curled up on Lucius lap. Lucius gently lifted the younger man's chin to see if he needed anything but before he could the fire flamed green, and the face of his ex-wife floated before him.

He watched as she opened her mouth before snapping it shut, staring at the scene before her before a curl smirk curled her lips.

Cackling madly that sounded very similar to her dear sister Narcissa spoke "Oh Lucius, you won't be able to talk your way out of this one. Just you wait till the ministry hears that you have their missing savior."

As quickly as she appeared she disappeared from the flames. Lucius quickly stood, making sure harry was stable on his feet before he let him go. "Harry, go down to your room, the door next to yours is my Lords room. Move quickly let him know Narcissa went to the ministry and you both need to leave before the aurors get here and break my wards down."

Seeing the scared look on Harry's face had Lucius pulling him in for another quick hug. "Knock before you enter his room Harry, do not forget his temper is very explosive."

Pulling Harry across the room Lucius pushed him through the door which thankfully was enough to snap the teen out of his fear and sent him racing towards the staircase.

"Dippy" he yelled "We need to buy some time strengthen the wards with the other elfs but as soon as Harry and My lord are ready to leave drop them to let them out and allow the ministry in"

With a pop the little elf was gone leaving Lucius to pray that the others managed to get somewhere safe without the dark lord starting the war on his doorstep.

Turning he strode to his desk to send a quick owl off to Severus.
