Chapter 2: Be With Me?

Remus was sitting half asleep in History of Magic, absentmindedly doodling on a piece of parchment. His eyes were nearly closed when shaky handwriting suddenly started to appear on his parchment.

Remus, I need your help. Please meet me at the cave outside of Hogsmeade when your classes are finished. Bring medical supplies.

Remus stared at the note in confusion, it was from Lucius. He decided to write a note back and see if it was answered.

Luce, what happened?

A few minutes later a reply came.

Don't worry about that now, you'll see when you come to the cave. But please hurry.

You know I'm going to worry.

I know.

There's 15 minutes left of History of Magic, I can probably just leave now, I'll be able to get back to the Tower and get my first aid kit.

Ok.

Remus quietly packed his stuff up; he noticed Sirius' raised eyebrow so he whispered to his friend. "I have to leave, cover for me please?"

"Lord Malfoy called I suppose?" Replied Sirius snarkily.

Remus chose to ignore that comment, he quietly got up with his bag and snuck out the back of the classroom. Binns was so enraptured with his own voice that he wouldn't notice, and the rest of the class were off in dreamland so they wouldn't notice either.

Remus walked down the corridor and to the moving staircases where he was unlucky enough to bump into McGonagall.

"And what are you doing out of class Lupin?" Asked Professor McGonagall sternly.

Remus did some quick thinking, "The pre-moon symptoms have started, I'm just getting a migraine." He rubbed forehead for show.

McGonagall nodded, "All right, you go and lie down then."

"Thanks." Replied Remus weakly. God are these teachers gullible. Thought Remus as he continued up the stairs. Remus figured he could probably slaughter somebody in front of one of his Professors and they'd believe him if he said it was a project for Defense Against the Dark Arts or something.

Remus rushed along the corridors to Gryffindor Tower, he spoke the password to the Fat Lady and sprinted through the Common Room and up to the 7th Year Boys' Dorm. He threw his bag on the bed and searched his trunk for his first aid kit; he made sure he had his wand and James' Invisibility Cloak before leaving the Dorm.

Once outside the Common Room again, Remus threw the cloak over himself and put the first aid kit safely into his pocket and tucked his wand into his belt before going through the one eyed witch's hump and through the tunnel to Hogsmeade.

Remus made quick time in getting up to the cave, what he saw at the entrance of the cave though, shocked him. There was blood spattered on the ground. Remus followed the trail in, it was dark in there so he lit his wand and saw his boyfriend huddled in the corner at the end of the blood trail.

"Luce?"

Lucius looked up, his hands were covered in his own blood, he had a black eye forming and a few gashes on his face and neck. His clothes were torn in places as well.

"Oh my god…What the fuck happened?" Questioned Remus as he rushed over to his blonde boyfriend's side.

Lucius shifted slightly and winced, he clutched his side in pain. "…I told my parents…I wasn't going to-Ow-follow in their footsteps and become a…Deatheater."

Remus sighed and shook his head; he brushed Lucius' long hair out of his face and started trying to repair his boyfriend's injuries. "Did your father do this to you?"

Lucius grunted in affirmation, "…Him and Black."

"Sirius' dad?" Questioned Remus in annoyance. Lucius nodded, albeit painfully. "That bastard…I will get revenge one day, I swear I will."

Lucius winced as Remus dabbed some antiseptic stuff on the cuts on his face. "…Kill 'em…full moon tomorrow."

"I would rather do it when I have my own mind." Replied Remus; he stopped the blood flow from Lucius' nose. "That way I can enjoy it more."

"Vengeful little bastard."

Remus smirked, "Course I am. Look up." Lucius did so and Remus cleaned the cuts on his chin and neck. "Got you good didn't they?"

"Mmhmm."

Remus wanted to be a doctor, he always had that's why he knew exactly what he was doing. Madame Pomfrey had been giving him Medi-Magic tutorials since he was in fourth year when he had expressed an interest in Medical magic to her. His mother was also a nurse at a muggle hospital near where they lived so she would let him go into work with her sometimes in the summer and watch as people were treated.

And it helped that he was quite welcomed to that hospital so he could learn more. He was on first name basis with some of the older female patients there because they thought he was such a sweetie and so cute.

"I think I have some broken ribs as well." Said Lucius resting his head back against the cave wall.

"OK."

………

A little while later, Remus had healed his boyfriend as much as his expertise could, he was now sitting on the cave floor with his legs stretched out in front of him and Lucius' sore head on his lap.

Remus stroked Lucius' long white-blonde hair comfortingly, "Where will you live?"

"…Don't know…" Lucius closed his eyes, he head a splitting headache.

"You could go to Hogwarts." Suggested Remus.

Lucius turned onto his back so he could gaze up at his boyfriend; "I wouldn't be welcome."

Remus sighed, "You're not a bad person, Dumbledore would be able to see that. Our D.A.D.A teacher is leaving at Christmas, maybe you could take the job?"

Lucius raised an eyebrow; "There's a student in your year who's older than me."

"So? He's an idiot…He's a Slytherin, he won't amount to anything anyway." Replied Remus, "Except jail bait."

"You do realise who you're talking to right?"

Remus patted the top of Lucius' head affectionately; "Yeah, but you're one of the smart ones. And anyways, you were top of your year in D.A.D.A, you could do it."

"You really think Dumbledore would trust me around his precious students?"

Remus smiled, "You should always trust a werewolf's instinct. I can sense that you're a good person, and Dumbledore trusts me."

Lucius stared thoughtfully at the roof of the cave. "I'll think about it…but wouldn't it put you off to have a teacher you're sleeping with?"

"No. In fact, I'd pay more attention if the teacher's good looking."

………

It was dark out and Remus was pretty sure it was getting very late at night now. He checked his watch, 11:58pm. "Shit, I should go. It's getting late."

Lucius sat up, wincing as he was still in a bit of pain. "Wait, I wanted to ask you something."

Remus looked back to Lucius, "What?"

Lucius pulled a small box out of his pocket, he opened it and held it out to Remus. "I bought it in the summer…" He trailed off as he saw Remus' eyes widen in shock.

Remus mouthed silently for a moment, "…Are you for real?"

Lucius half smiled, "Yes, I am… I just want to live a normal life with the person I love, away from all that pureblood/mudblood crap and Voldemort. And I want to live it with you."

Remus stared at the little box with the ring in it for a little while longer before raising his eyes to Lucius' handsome face. "Is this a proposal?"

"In badly chosen words, yes." Replied Lucius seriously, but Remus could see some hope in those grey eyes.

If anyone had told Remus he would be sitting in a cave contemplating a marriage proposal from Lucius Malfoy three years ago, he would have told them they were seriously delusional. But now, it was happening and Remus had no idea what to say. To accept, or not to accept, that is the question.

To accept I think. Thought Remus, he pressed his lips to Lucius' and took the ring out of the box. "Yes."

Lucius cupped Remus' face with one hand and kissed him again, "I was worried you would say no."

Remus smiled and spoke as he put the ring onto the chain around his neck that also held his Marauder Moony dog tag. "No, no, you're stuck with me forever now."

"You're not wearing it on your hand?" Asked Lucius curiously.

"I try to avoid confrontation, but its in place of honour with my dog tag." Replied Remus smiling.

"Fair enough, I wouldn't want my little werewolf under scrutiny." Lucius rested his forehead against Remus'. "It's passed your curfew, you should be getting back to school."

"Yes sir." Remus kissed Lucius again before getting up and pulling his robes back on. "When can I see you again?"

Lucius struggled to his feet, "When's your next Hogsmeade weekend?"

"Beginning of December." Replied Remus, he really didn't want to wait a whole other month before he could see Lucius again.

"I'll owl you, or I'll sneak into the school and find you." Replied Lucius thoughtfully. "What's your password?"

"Death to Slytherin."

Lucius raised an eyebrow, "Ok." He placed his hands on Remus' waist and kissed him deeply. "Don't be too sad, I'm sure you could cope without me for a few weeks."

"I could…But I don't want to, if I don't have to." Said Remus frowning.

Lucius smiled, "You will see me again, I promise. And I'll owl you every day and tell you what I'm up to and where I am if it will make you feel better."

"No need for that." Said Remus, "Probably just the full moon talking…" He hugged Lucius tightly. "Love you."

Lucius hugged him back and kissed him on the side of the head, "Love you too Rem. Now go."

Remus pulled away from his boyfriend and picked up James' Invisibility Cloak. "Nice way to show your love."

"It is, but I don't want you to get into trouble." Replied Lucius, flashing his charming Malfoy smile.

"Yeah, yeah. Bye then." Remus headed to the cave entrance.

"Oh and Rem?"

"Yeah?" Remus looked over his shoulder to Lucius.

"Tell Black I want him to look after you while I'm not around."
