Saving Lucius

Chapter 4

Cause you're not here.

Beta DracosMinx.

"Draco, I love you, yes there, that's it, DRACO…….."

Draco Malfoy turning the tables on his lover repaid the comprehensive buggering that Harry had given him earlier.

"I know love, I know. We better get up I'm famished." Both boys had been making love for hours, forgetting to silence the room in the process. Mistress Vamp was sure to add on extra for noise pollution they thought.

Sitting up in bed Harry had started to be aroused once more at the sight of his beautiful boyfriends body sauntering over to the window, those globes, they were worthy of all the praise in wizardom, they were indeed Harry's comfort zone.

Harry started to chuckle when he saw Draco's shoulder's lift and drop in quick succession, presuming he was laughing at Harry's staring, jumping from the bed as he realised that they were in fact, the desperate movements of a lover, in tears.

"Draco, are you ok?" Harry moved in behind Draco wrapping his arms around Draco's waist, pulling him into a lovers embrace, tracing lines down his neck with his tongue, allowing his lovers tears to freely flow.

Just as Harry was about to usher Draco back to the bed, a strange site caught his eye.
It looked like a long ladder, looking closer; Harry didn't have his glasses on, making viewing anything more than ten feet away difficult. He observed someone climbing the said ladder and tapping on their window. It was Severus.

"Draco, why is your godfather tapping on our window?" Draco wiped his eyes, and stared at Severus, seemingly mouthing something at the same time as trying to hold on to the ladder and point at the building across the street.

"Lost his key?" Draco shyly offered, before both boys realised Severus would never forget the images of two of them with revitalised erections, stood in a pose a Vogue editor would sell her own Granny for. "Accio clothes!" they both shouted, as garments flew in their direction rather reminiscent of the onset of a cyclone. Severus was still tap, tap, tapping at the window, a look of triumph lighting up his face.

Pulling on clothes that probably weren't theirs, Draco did like the tighty whities of Harry's Y fronts; they appeared more presentable than having their manhood's pointing tellingly at the potion professor.

Harry moved toglass doors, flinging the window open so that Severus could reveal, the reason he was actually dangling precariously on an old and battered wooden ladder in the muggle side of the Leakey Cauldron. Thankfully Draco could see what Harry was going to do and had his wand in hand to halt the speedily falling Severus before he hit the floor, gently lowering him to ground.

"Sorry" ran out from Harry. "I didn't know the windows opened outwards" was his defence.

Leaning out of the window, Draco shouted down to his godfather.

"Sev, what the hell are you doing on the wooden rope outside our window?"

"Sorry Severus didn't mean to nearly kill you" Added Harry as he too looked down at the seething wizard.

"Get down here this instance and bring that fucking letter" Severus sat down on the windowsill of the Blind Beggar pub and waited patiently as the boys joined him.
The road was deserted; all sound save the piped music from the Blind Beggar seemed void in the air. Severus's ears picked up, it was their song. It was the song that Lucius first sang to Severus back when they would easily give the golden duo a run for their money, and then some.

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near.
The winter winds will be much colder
Now you're not here.

Oh the joys of solace at times like this Severus thought, that song, it meant so much to both Lucius and he. It was the song that Lucius had written for Severus, many years ago when he was in a band to signify the loss he always felt when his love wasn't there.

I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear.
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here.

Severus could almost feel the presence of his lover; almost hear the dulcet rich tones of his voice comforting him, soothing his soul.

"Like the sun through trees you came to love me. Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away" Severus sang, sobbing a low moan, the loss of his lover, his life was affecting him profoundly. He needed his lucky charm, he needed his Lucius.

Suddenly accompanying the sound from the pub, Severus could swear he could hear the real thing near bye, singing along to the music, serenading him. Severus closed his eyes and thought of Lucius, believing his luck was not that favourable.

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way,
You always loved this time of year.
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
'Cause you're not here.

Harry and Draco stepped into the bar of the Leakey Cauldron to whoops of applause from Vampy and her husband Tom.

"I have a job for you two if you wanna skip the rest of school? My resident nymphets Senorita Sonya and Mistress Tina Twinkle have pulled out of their new show. Technical difficulties with their snake they said. The noise and antics you got up to certainly perk our customers up no end, and no silencing charms, we do like that don't we Tom?"

Harry was dragged out of there as quickly as his legs would allow to observe a very sombre looking Severus sat on the windowsill of the opposite building, the sounds of the jukebox ringing in Harry's ear, Severus singing along with it tears silently falling down his face.

"'Cause you're not here.' Cause you're not here"

"Severus, who are you singing to? And why are you crying?" Severus stood up, blew his nose and looked then in the eyes.

"I was not crying, I was rejoicing your imbeciles failed attempts at murder" Both boys silently chuckled at this; it was pointless to argue with someone like Severus.

"Have you the letter?" Severus asked excitedly.

Draco took it out and opening it up stared in disbelief at the jabbing finger severus was using in an attempt to highlight the area of text he found important.

A blind beggar on a Firebolt

"Don't you see it's a clue, it's another clue, Lucius isn't dead he's in hiding, Draco he is alive." Severus had the now familiar tears in his eyes as Draco looking at the line of text in the letter and the name of the sign dangling above the door.

"Shit…. Harry, it's true. Do you really think so, could he still be alive?" Harry put his arm on his lovers shoulder giving a gentle tug of his cloak, Harry knew that if they were going to find answers to this new clue, they would likely be inside the building, not out here on the street.

"Severus tell me, why were you trying to climb up to our window?" asked Draco in a confused sort of voice.

"You forgot a silencing charm; the corridor was full to capacity of masturbating minxes, of all shapes and sizes. Be more careful next time." Severus led the way into the Blind Beggar, his two young companions following, not hearing the encore of the song coming from behind him as a lone figure stood in a darkened alley way singing softly to his lover of two decades and his beloved son.

"Like the sun through the trees you came to love me,
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away.
A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear,
My life will be forever autumn
'Cause you're not here"
Stepping out of the shadows Lucius Malfoy hoped that his lover would solve all his clues before it was too late, he looked longingly at the front door of the Blind Beggar, hoping he could just walk through it, reuniting himself with the ones he loved.

Sweetly breathing the last lines of his very own 'Ode to Severus' as he apparated back to his hideout.

"Cause your not here…"

Please review, how am I doing?
