I won nothing! Enjoy!
"You need to calm down Draco," Remus said shutting the door behind us.
"I don't want to calm down," I said glaring at him.
"Is this helping Lucas?" he asked seriously.
"No," I said sighing.
"Tell me everything," he said calmly.
"Nothing to tell," I said shrugging, "I met Lucas and fell for him. That's all."
"That can't be all," he said shaking his head, "If it was then you wouldn't be acting this way."
"How would I be acting?" I said softly.
"You wouldn't be throwing your whole life away for this one boy," he said resting a hand on my shoulder, "Now, tell me everything."
"I met him at his father's restaurant," I said running a hand through my hair, "We talked a lot and got along quite well. The second week that we were there I found him crying behind the restaurant. He was holding his right arm like it hurt. Turns out his father dumped hot grease on his arm because he dropped a plate."
"That's how you guys got on so well," he said slowly, "Because both of your father's abused you."
"My father never abused me," I said angrily.
"Not physically," he said patting the seat next to him, "But, Draco, he did abuse you mentally."
"Shut up," I said pushing him, "My father is a good man."
"He kidnapped Lucas," he said standing up, "Helped beat him and he's still a good man."
"He's my father," I said tears filling my eyes.
"Draco," he said pulling me close to him, "Your father is abusive."
"No," I said fighting him, "You're wrong."
"Draco," he said in a whisper."
I felt my body go limp against his as everything hit me. I never believed that my father was abusive, but Remus wouldn't say something like that if it wasn't true. He wouldn't lie to me.
Remus had been my favorite teacher when he was at Hogwarts. I knew that I could talk to him, but I never did. At least not face to face. I sent him a note once asking him what I should do about everything.
He was there when I found out that I was gay. That's what I was questioning him about. I could tell that Remus was gay and I needed someone to talk to. He was always there to at least talk to.
"Draco," Remus said running a hand throw my hair, "Just calm down. It's alright now. Shh…I got you."
I wrapped my arms tightly around him and buried my head in his shoulder. I couldn't handle this. Not while knowing that the one person that had been with me for awhile now was gone.
He was being hurt because of me. I shouldn't have brought him into this. This was a Wizardry War. No Muggles should be involved at all. I brought him into this. I should have known better.
"Stop Draco," Remus said firmly.
"It's true," I said softly.
"No," he said forcing me to look at him, "You didn't bring Lucas into this. He came willingly."
"I love him so much," I said biting my lip, "I love him."
"I know," he said rubbing my back, "I know you do. Draco, it's time for you to let yourself be you. Your father can't hurt you anymore."
"It's not very Malfoy like," I said softly.
"Is being a Malfoy worth not having Lucas?" he asked seriously.
I stared at him for awhile before shaking my head quickly and smiling. Remus was right. Lucas was worth losing the whole Malfoy thing that I thought was apart of. I needed Lucas.
"Come downstairs Draco," Remus said placing a hand on my back, "We can get some food and everything will be fine."
"Yeah," I said nodding.
It was weird that Remus and Harry and everyone else was being nice to me, but I was so happy for it. I needed someone to help me and Lucas and they were there. Now only if they were actually here.
"Calm," Remus said softly, "They'll be back."
"Yeah," I said as he put water on to boil.
We sat down at the table and waited. Neither one of us said anything, but the silence wasn't uncomfortable. Remus grabbed a grapefruit and passed it to me along with a knife.
"How did you know?" I asked confused.
"That you're a vegetarian?" Remus asked smirking, "I watched over you for almost a year Draco. I learned a lot of things."
"Thanks," I said blushing, "But that sounded like you are a stalker."
"Yes it does," he said laughing, "Now eat."
"Okay," I said cutting the grapefruit.
We spent the next few minutes sitting in silence as I ate. Then the door opened. I moved to see what was going on, but Remus held me down and Harry blocked the door. I barely remember what happened in that time.
Harry said that Lucas was upstairs being taken care of by Hermione and Sirius. I wanted nothing more then to hit and push my way up to Lucas, but Remus was trying to keep me calm.
I needed to wait awhile so I knew what was going on before running up there. The whole place was a little hectic and me freaking out wasn't going to help Lucas in anyway what so ever.
"Draco," Sirius said from the doorway, "Lucas wants to talk to you."
"Is he okay?" I asked biting my lip.
"He's still a little hurt," he said softly, "But he will be fine."
"Great," I said grinning.
"Come on," he said motioning for me to follow, "He was really vocal in how much he needed to talk to you and make sure that you were alright."
"I'm coming," I said running up the stairs.
