Chapter 6: Found Out

Lucius had been called into Dumbledore's office, he wasn't sure what it was about but he had a sinking feeling. He saw that McGonagall was there as well, looking disapproving.

Dumbledore looked to McGonagall, "Is he on his way?"

McGonagall nodded, "Yes, Remus should be on his way."

Oh no… Thought Lucius worriedly. They know…

Dumbledore turned back to Lucius a disappointed look on his face, "It has come to our attention that you recently spent the night with a student, in his dormitory."

Lucius bit his lip, "I was comforting him, his father had just died."

"You don't deny it?" Questioned McGonagall raising an eyebrow.

"No I don't." replied Lucius honestly. Why bother denying it? He wasn't ashamed of his actions, or his love for that Gryffindor. "But I have been with Remus for the last two and a half years."

McGonagall raised her other eyebrow, "Really?" Lucius nodded.

"So you are saying Remus is willing?" Asked Dumbledore.

Lucius sat up straight in offense, "Are you accusing me of rape?"

"I had to ask." Replied Dumbledore calmly. "As you may know, Remus is not the kind of student to disobey the rules." Lucius snorted with laughter before he could stop himself. "He is also quite easily influenced."

"I would never hurt him." Said Lucius firmly.

Before Dumbledore could say anything else, a knock sounded at the door. "Come in."

Remus soon appeared in the room, and as soon as he saw Lucius there, his brown eyes widened. "Oh shit…" He cowered back when he saw McGonagall glare at him.

"Sit down, Remus." Ordered Dumbledore. Remus did so cautiously. "Now, do you know why you're here?"

Remus chewed his bottom lip nervously, "I-I think so…" He glanced at Lucius and saw his boyfriend looking straight ahead of him. Oh shit…fuck…piss…we're in trouble…

Dumbledore nodded, "How long have you been in a relationship with Lucius?"

Remus shifted uncomfortably under the Headmaster's scrutinising gaze. "Um…since the beginning of my fifth year…" He was nervous as hell, and the fact that Lucius seemed to be ignoring him didn't help.

Dumbledore gazed at him in thought, "And is this under your own will?"

"Yes!" Remus scowled at the Headmaster. He couldn't believe what he was hearing, he could understand that they'd be disapproving of the relationship but actually suggesting that Lucius was forcing him? They had to be mad!

Dumbledore sighed; it was obvious he didn't believe either of them. "Are you happy?"

Remus stared at him in disbelief, "I was until I got in here and found you accusing my boyfriend of forcing me into a relationship with him!" He snapped angrily.

McGonagall looked shocked at Remus' outburst, Dumbledore merely raised an eyebrow while Lucius tried not to laugh.

Remus crossed his arms and continued scowling at the Headmaster, not caring how impolite he seemed.

"Do you two realise the penalties of a student/teacher relationship?" Asked McGonagall seriously.

Lucius nodded, "Yes."

Remus continued scowling, "I'm eighteen, it's fully consensual and my mum knows. So what's your problem?" When Remus had gone home for his father's funeral, he had eventually told his mother about him and Lucius and she had said, 'as long as he was happy, she didn't mind that her only son was gay and in love with a Malfoy'.

"Our problem, is the fact that it is illegal." Replied McGonagall, she did genuinely like both Remus and Lucius, she didn't want to see them getting kicked out of school because of this.

Remus sniffed, "So you're telling me that you're more worried about us having a shag late at night than you are about the Slytherins becoming Death Eaters?" If they say 'yes', I'm leaving… Why isn't Luce saying anything? He's the one that came to my dorm and stayed the night…

Lucius glanced at Remus and then back to Dumbledore, "He's got a point."

Dumbledore sighed, "Lucius, will you leave us please?"

Lucius nodded reluctantly and got up, he ruffled Remus' hair before leaving the office.

Lucius headed back to his Quarters, I hope they don't expel him, not now, the N.E.W.Ts are so close! They better understand, I mean, he's legally old enough to make a decision like this, it's a consensual relationship and apparently his mother condones it. Its not like there's a risk of getting him pregnant or anything, he's a guy and we love each other… Perhaps I should have said that to them before I left…

He went into his Quarters and fell down on the couch and put his face in his hands. "I need to get drunk…"

………

"If you suspected him of being a Death Eater why the hell did you hire him?!" Exclaimed Remus, it was annoying him to no end that Dumbledore and McGonagall were being so irrational about this and now they were accusing Lucius of following in his family footsteps.

"That is none of your business." Snapped McGonagall, she wouldn't stand for students shouting.

"He's my boyfriend! It is my business!"

Dumbledore still as calm as ever spoke again. "Remus, you could be expelled for this."

Remus kept his scowl up. "I don't care, I'm not breaking up with him because you have a problem with it. Even my friends don't have a problem with it and they used to hate Lucius." He was trying to stick to his resolution of not being pushed around anymore.

"The School Governors are the ones that would have the problem."

"Yeah, if you tell them." Replied Remus; he bit his bottom lip. "I'm not asking for much, I just want to be with him. Surely you've been in love at least once, then you'd know how I feel… He accepts me for who and what I am and that means everything to me." I wonder if they'll give in if I cry? "I'm begging you, please don't pull us apart…I need him…"

………

Lucius had fallen asleep on the couch in his Quarters a little while ago, but he was rudely awoken by a loud hammering at his door.

"Ah!" Lucius jumped when he heard the knocking and fell off the couch. "Ow…" He got up off the floor and went to the door, he opened ready to hex the person that was on the other side, before he could reach for his wand he saw Remus leaning against the doorframe with a smile on his face. "They didn't expel you?"

Remus continued smiling and shook his head; "Can I come in?"

"Yeah sure." Lucius let him in and closed the door. "What did they say to you?"

"Well…" Remus sat down on the arm of the couch. "After kindly telling me I'm an idiot for making such a stupid decision and blatantly accusing you of being a Death Eater, I gave them a sob story and cried."

Lucius smirked; Trust Remus to do that, he sure does know how to use the guilt trip. "And?"

Remus grinned, "And they've decided to give us a chance, as long as it doesn't disrupt your teaching and my learning."

"It hasn't."

Remus shrugged, "They also said I didn't have to stay in my dorm if I didn't want to, and if you're fine with sharing your bed…every night." He had the puppy eyes because he knew Lucius couldn't resist them.

Lucius put a hand under Remus' chin and tilted his head up, "I think I could live with that." He kissed Remus lightly on the lips. "When are you moving in?"

"When I can be bothered."

Lucius rolled his eyes, "Lazy brat." He gave Remus a push and the werewolf fell back onto the couch, his legs still hanging over the arm.

"Hey…" Grumbled Remus, but he didn't make any effort to move.

………

Remus had decided to take his stuff to Lucius' Quarters the next day because he spent most of the rest of that day in Lucius' arms on the couch.

Remus nuzzled Lucius' neck with his head, "I was wondering…if so many people already know about us, is there any point in keeping it secret anymore?"

Lucius continued tracing patterns on Remus' stomach with his fingers as he thought, "I suppose not… I just didn't want it to get back to my family, that's all."

"If he knew you were in danger, Dumbledore might let you stay here." Said Remus moving slightly so he could see Lucius' handsome face.

Lucius smiled a little, "I'm more worried about them hurting you. Believe me, they would try if they knew." He trailed a hand up and down one of Remus' sides.

"It's worrying, but I don't care who knows anymore." Replied Remus honestly; "I would shout it out from the rooftop if I wasn't shy."

Lucius smirked, "I'd hardly say you're shy, you did shout at Albus Dumbledore, remember?"

Remus shrugged, "True…" He thought for a moment. "The other week, what was it that made you want to break it off so suddenly?"

Lucius sighed, "I got a note that morning from someone saying that they knew about us, and basically that they would let the whole school know about us if I didn't treat the Gryffindors better."

Remus furrowed his eyebrows, "Someone from my House?"

"Someone from your dorm."

Remus raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Sirius and James would neve-" He saw Lucius shaking his head. "…Peter?"

Lucius nodded, "Dear, weedy little Pettigrew. I personally didn't think he had it in him to threaten a supposed Death Eater, but apparently I was wrong."

Remus blinked a couple of times, "That little bastard…I'll kill him."

"Don't be too drastic." Said Lucius making sure he had a firm hold of Remus in case he did try and commit a murder.

Remus frowned, "You know, I've been putting it off for a couple of years but I think Moony deserves to eat that rat."

Lucius snorted, "Perhaps Padfoot would join in."

Lucius knew of the Marauder Animagi, it was one of the many things Remus had told him during his fifth year when they were getting to know each other.

Remus spoke again as Lucius started kissing his neck, "Mm…how would we tell everyone?"

Lucius trailed a path of kisses up Remus' neck and to his ear, which he nibbled on momentarily. "Public display of affection perhaps?"

There was a knock on the door.

"Or alternatively whoever that is could find out and spread the gossip." Said Lucius pulling his mouth away from Remus' ear.

Remus nodded and reluctantly let Lucius get up, once his boyfriend was up, Remus settled back into the warm space Lucius had left.

Lucius went over to the door and opened it; his heart sank when he saw some Slytherins out in the corridor. These certain seventh year Slytherins happened to come to his Quarters quite often, the whole lot of them were ready to be Deatheaters and they thought he was just as evil as they were. "What do you want?" He almost forcefully pushed out of the way as they all barged in uninvited. "Of course, come in, make yourselves at home." Said Lucius sarcastically. He closed the door and turned to them to see them all staring at Remus in shock.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Questioned Snape glaring at the Gryffindor.

Remus quirked his eyebrows, "Sleeping with your favourite teacher, what are you doing here?" There was no sign of worry or hesitance anywhere much to Lucius' amusement.

………

Lucius fell down on the bed and pulled Remus down on top of him and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Job well done, I say."

Remus grinned, "I reckon they'll probably announce it at breakfast tomorrow."

"That is, if they've gotten over the shock of hearing some sordid details about our relationship." Replied Lucius pointedly.

Remus had the decency to blush now, "Hey, they asked for it."

Lucius waggled his eyebrows; "Although I didn't mind hearing them…" He moved one hand up under Remus' shirt and stroked his back.

"And I didn't mind remembering them…" Remus trailed off as Lucius kissed him deeply. Remus moaned quietly and forgot all about their conversation.
