A/N--Thanks for your reviews! Most of you will be happy to know that this will be a Draco/Lucius/Severus fic . I hope you enjoy. Also I am very sorry this took so long to update, but I was trying to decide how to proceed with it, since it is my first attempt at a three person pairing.
Sev POV.
'Damn Lucius and his plans.' Severus thought to himself as he was on the boat from Azkaban back to civilization. He sighed with arms crossed staring outward to sea, waiting to see some sign of land again. He knew Lucius probably could pull it off. But the fact was that even if he did, he would never be free. He would constantly have to look out for Voldemort and his little followers and not to mention the ministry of magic. Of course inside himself he knew that this was already what lucius had to deal with anyway. He knew deep down inside that there was a separate reason for all this hesitation on Lucius's plan. A reason he had been holding inside him for a while.
'Dammit Lucius....can't you see that I love you and Draco?' He thought bitterly. At least he thought it was love. If it wasn't, then it was at least the closest thing to love he could feel. He had first started feeling emotions he could only think of to be love when he had became friends with Lucius.
He was being chased down by the arrogant Sirius Black and James Potter and their lackeys Lupin and Pettigrew. Normally he'd fight back, but he had been stupid enough to drop his bloody wand. Just when he thought he was trapped, that he would be hexed into oblivion, a ray of light hit Potter, Black Lupin and Pettigrew, rendering them unconscious.
"How pathetic.. A voice said. Severus flinched, thinking it was speaking about him. He hung his head in shame. Footsteps grew close.
"Never thought the bloody Gryffindors could stoop so low as to attack someone without a wand for no reason...then again they always have been arrogant gits..'' The voice continued. Severus raised his head slowly to see Lucius Malfoy walking toward him. The older boy extended his hand to Severus . Severus accepted the hand, seeing Lucius as almost a god.
They had become friends after that, though Severus always felt something of warmth from his protector. He always did his best to please Lucius with everything he needed, although he had become a little less submissive toward him over the years, losing some of the dependence on him. But even so, they had always been there for each other. Even when Severus had first confessed to him deciding to leave the dark lord. Lucius had been stunned, but had promised in the end not to say anything. Soon Severus had learned that Lucius was beginning to question his beliefs with the dark lord himself. Especially began to question things after Draco was born. Severus warned Lucius that if he stayed in service with the dark lord, his son wouldn't have a good future. Severus knew Draco was Lucius's weakspot.
He wasn't blind, he could see the strong bond between the two. A bond too strong for anything or anyone to come between. A bond that extended father and son relationship into...well Severus didn't exactly know what and didn't really question it. He would wish quite often he had that kind of bond with someone...he didn't care who as long as he love them they love him back. Not that he was mad at Draco or anything. He cared about Draco a lot too.Lucius and Draco were closest thing to this...the closest thing to family he had. Hell the closest thing to ANYTHING he had. His only friends, only family, only people he loved. He felt as though he would be lost without them and hoped that they felt the same. He'd do almost anything to help them or protect them. Even go along with Lucius's scheme.
The small boat he was on finally reached land. Severus got out of it and operated to his house so he could send a letter with his owl to Draco telling him he'd be coming to see him the next day. Once inside his house, a large but bare house filled with only the bare necessities. And of course his potions which were necessities to him at least. After writing the note, which was a short note that was purely business He opened the cage to his owl, which was purely black with yellow eyes. He tied the letter to the bird's leg.
"Take this letter to Draco." He said and the dark as night bird flew out the window. Severus watched it for a moment before sighing and turning his back toward the window.
"You'd better as hell know what you're doing Lucius....for Draco and your sakes...and mine."
Meannwhilee with Draccooo...
Draco POV
Draco lay on his bed. He had finished cleaning up the 'mess' in the kitchen and was feeling sick to his stomach. But despite the ache in his stomach, he was thinking...scheming. He needed a way to get back at his mother for this. It had to be something big. That was the least he could do for his trusty owl. But it also had to be something she couldn't blame on him though. He thought of many different things he'd like to do to his mother, but most of them would most likely result in her death or permanent brain damage. After about an hour passed, he heard a pecking at his window.
"What the...." He thought as he opened the window, but when he saw the familiar black owl, he knew what it was for. It was from Severus. He anxiously grabbed the letter, almost injuring the owl in the process. Avoiding the nip from the owl, he began to read the note.
'Draco, Saw your father. He's alright. I'll be over tomorrow around noon to talk about it. I'm sending your mother a note too, so she knows. I'll talk to you then.
Sev'
Draco sighed in relief and then put the note down. His father was alright. Unless Sev was lying towards his benifit, but he figured Sevtowardbenefit wouldn't do that in something as serious as this. Draco wrote a letter to Severus saying that he got the note and sent the owl on its way. Draco then got up and stretched, feeling suddenly tired.
'Oh well...maybe I'll dream of good revenge...' He thought drowsily to himself and then lay down. Then it hit him. The perfect revenge. He knew he couldn't kill his mother...or hurt or really. But he could attack her through a different means. Her dreams. He thought he had read somewhere of a potion that could alter a person's dreams to whatever the potion maker wanted. Draco smiled as closed his eyes. He'd have to look into that the next day. Draco soon fell asleep and awoke up late(for him at least) the next day. He looked over and saw that the clock read 11. Only an hour before Sev came. Draco got up and began to get ready. After showering, dressing and grooming it was around 11:45. He headed downstairs, knowing his mother wouldn't dare do anything with Sev's arrival so quickly nearing. Narcissa was at the table, looking as irritable as ever. Her eyes had rings under them and she looked very sick.
'Hangover...' Draco thought to himself as he gracefully sat down. Food was soon brought in by a house elf who had heard Draco get up. Draco smiled as he thanked the elf and began eating. Narcissa glared, wondering angrily why her son looked so happy.
"What are you smiling about?" She asked groggily, trying to sound angry, but just sounding...well...hungover.
"Nothing. Just excited that Sev's coming over." He responded calmly. Narcissa scowled.
"Call him Severus you little brat...Sev is disrespectful." She told him. Draco could see she was just looking for a reason for him not to be happy.
"You call him Sev..." Draco mumbled, knowing he really shouldn't argue, but not being able to help it. He was feeling quite anxious over news of his father as it was and he wasn't completely in control over his actions and words at the moment.
"I am superior to you boy....I can call him whatever I feel." She said, her voice taking on a haughtiness to it. Draco rolled his eyes and got up to wait for Severus by the front door. Soon enough he heard a knock on the door. Draco grinned and opened the door. Severus smiled back at him, although it was a wary smile. He had been up most the night, not being able to sleep. He had just came from Dumbledoor's, getting permission to go back, although he saw the headmaster look at him a bit suspiciously.
"Come in Severus..." Draco said, trying to sound polite. Severus chortled at that and walked in. Draco sighed nervously.
"I'll explain everything in your room....we should be safe there from prying ears..." He said quietly.
"But what about Narcissa? She'll get suspicious...." Draco said. Severus smiled, already thinking of this himself. He walked into the kitchen, motioning for Draco to stay where he was. Draco just watched on, wondering what Severus was exactly up to.
"Good afternoon Narcissa." He said as pleasantly as possible. Narcissa looked up and smiled seductivley.
seductively "Hey there Sev." She said. Severus smiled and sat next to her. Draco watched as Severus talked to her for a while before slipping something into her coffee when she wasn't looking. Very soon her head fell down to the table. She was fast asleep. With a sigh he walked over to Draco.
"Let's go to your room now." Severus said and they walked upstairs, Draco growing more anxious by the minute. Once they reached the room, Draco closed the door.
"What happened Sev? Is my dad alright? What he say? How bad is it there? Are you alright because you look horrible." Draco asked and said quickly, all the questions he needed out in the open. Severus sighed slightly.
"One thing at a time Dray...Your dad is alright...a bit worse for the wear, but he is strong. As for the conditions, it's...well it's a pretty horrible place BUT...your dad, as I said before, is strong and this will NOT break him. And I am fine....but theres some things we need to talk about. Your father....has a plan. And while I'm not exactly wild about it, I do think it'll work. But I need your help for a few things." Severus said. Draco looked at him for a few moments before finally nodding.
"What do I need to do?"
