Harry was thrilled when the weekend rolled around and Lucius arranged for them to leave Saturday morning. Draco had been invited to come but he had decided that Harry and his father needed some time alone to relax and get over what had been done to Harry.
Lucius smiled when Harry was getting ready. "I haven't seen you smile like this in so long."
Harry relaxed into the tender caress and the kiss that followed. "I need this. I want this. A week away with you to learn about the dive and have some fun."
Lucius nibbled on his earlobe. "My team will be waiting for you to join the dive on Monday morning. Until then you're all mine."
Harry pushed back. "If we're going to make it to the portkey terminal in time to leave we need to go."
Reluctantly Lucius agreed to stop his attack and the two of them made their way off the school grounds. They had said goodbye to Draco the day before. When they got to the apparition point Harry took hold of his arm. They had made arrangements for a private portkey from Aberdeen so they would not have to travel to London. Harry that he was looking forward to the romantic side of the get away as much as the dive side.
As they were waiting for the portkey to leave Lucius kissed him. "So if this dive goes good, would you consider job offer?"
Harry smiled. "I would but I don't want a job offer because I am your..."
Lucius cut him off with another kiss. "The head of the department does the hiring and he will be there. If he offers a position it has nothing to do with me."
Harry remembered the suggestion he could intern with them in the summer. "Then if I enjoy it I better impress him because it really seems like an amazing job."
In the months since Harry became his apprentice and not just his lover Lucius had been trying hard to find something that would interest Harry has he knew he was confused about his future and had not wanted Harry to become an auror simply because he was not aware of the options. He also liked the idea of his lover working for his company especially if Harry married him. He had not been lying that his department head did the hiring but he had little doubt Harry would do well.
When they arrived they had to take a boat to the resort and Harry stared in amazement at it. "This is the resort?"
Lucius smiled. "Remember I said this was a wizarding resort. Welcome to Dagger Cove Resort."
The resort was like a Venice of the Caribbean, completely out on the water. The buildings though were not on stilts but floating above the water, and while there were walkways every where, there were speedboats and other water transport to get around. Harry was amazed to see though they were out in the middle of the ocean the resort actually had beaches all around it also elevated above the water though it sloped down to the water, and even pools.
Lucius pointed to the actual shore line. "Dagger cove and its actual community are there as well as my dive boats. We can go to the town some time if you'd like."
Harry drew him into a kiss. "This is definitely as incredible as you promised. I have never been to a resort before or any where really but this is breath taking."
As they walked along one of the boardwalks to the front desk area of the resort Lucius told him of the mix of muggle and wizarding sports and activities to be found around there though Harry had a feeling between the dive and Lucius they'd see little of the resort itself but their suite.
The receptionist looked up. "How can I help you gentlemen?"
Lucius smiled. "I am Lucius Malfoy and my partner and I are booked into the presidential suite here. I contacted about special arrangements."
The man smiled. "Welcome Lord Malfoy and your guest. I will have one of the bellhops show you right away. And the arrangements were seen too."
Harry was amazed when they were led along a moving side walk that was sheer glass so they could see the water below and was amazed when they came to the top floor of the huge sky rise structure at the center. There was no roof, they were in a great bio dome type area and he could imagine the sunsets and stars at night, with wrap around balconies with views over the ocean. It was a massive one room but there was a kitchen area and sitting area and massive king size bed, the only separation being the bathroom with its pool size bath tub. There were bouquets of tropical flowers every where, and an incredible breakfast out on the veranda, and he was sure Lucius had a few more surprised.
Lucius kissed him when they were alone. "I know we had a bit to eat before we left but I thought I'd get your blood pumping and we'd probably be hungry."
Harry needed no coaxing towards the king size bed. "Some how I have a feeling that might need to be lunch or dinner if I know you and I do."
Lucius pulled him down onto the bed. "Then it is a good thing that I ordered lobster and wine, and the food will not arrive until we sit."
His response was cut off by his lover's hungry mouth and it seemed Lucius was in desperate need to make love to him that he used his wand to get rid of their clothes. Not that Harry was not any more ready for his lover's needy advances and Lucius delighted in Harry's nice hard erection already. It was a good thing it had been dinner ordered for when they finally pulled apart it was well into the evening. Dressed in silk robes they headed out onto the veranda.
Lucius handed Harry a cup of champagne. "To an amazing week to relax, have fun and leave the world behind."
Harry tapped glasses with him and kissed him tenderly. "Thank you for this."

Monday morning this cool glass bottom catamaran style diving boat met Harry and Lucius at the beach. Harry had forgotten some of his excitement over the dive after what happened but as soon as got on the boat he was reminded of it. He was led into the sunroom where the head of the dive was looking at maps.
The man smiled. "Well Lucius this must be your apprentice you have told me about, Harry? I have heard a lot of you. I understand you're interested in a possible job?"
Harry nodded. "Yes sir. One of my brothers worked in curse breaking for Gringotts and when Lucius told me about this dive and your other work, I was fascinated."
The man shook his hand. "No sirs here. The name is Jake. Lucius if you're not coming with us you might want to get off now for we will be casting off."
Shaking hands with the man Lucius left with a smile as he saw Harry pouring over the charts with Jake and he could see the same look of delight on his face that he did when they were duelling. Harry barely noticed when he left.
Jake had the other divers come in and they showed him what they would do. "These are pieces from the dive that have been found in the past by muggles." Sam said.
Harry looked. "Those are galleons; did they not think it odd? I know from the write up that this was a pirate ship but was a wizarding vessel."
Jake smiled. "That it was but muggle divers are only interested in the value of gold not the odd design. Unfortunately there was a spell on the ship so no one can see it."
They explained that while the ship had sunk hundreds of years ago the charm was still good. Muggles had found some pieces that had washed away in the tide but the main cargo had never been found but they had been able to se the items found to create portkeys allowing them to be transported to the location.
Jake explained. "There are two jobs down there. Some of the divers will be going down to secure the actual treasure and bring it up. The second will work on the boat."
Harry remembered the dossier. "You guys bring up important parts of the ship as proof of where the fortune came from as well as selling them to museums as well."
One of the younger divers Andrew smiled. "I see you did your homework. Any preference on what part of the dive you'd like to help on?
Jake turned to him. "This is going to take the better part of three days to finish so you're welcome to join both sides, get a feel for it and see what you prefer."
That made a lot of sense to Harry who decided to spend the day working with those looking to secure items for the museums. When the dives were done they'd spend weeks cataloguing all they found and deciding on what was to be done with everything. The water was warm so they only needed minor wet suits and unlike muggle divers they had small magical oxygen masks which could allow them to be down there for hours. They had to take potions though for they were going right to the spot and t would ensure they did not deal with anything muggles would suffer like the bends.
Harry was given a set of prescription goggles which had lights so that he could see when underwater, in darker holds. Sam smiled. "Ready for your first dive?"
Putting the goggles and the mask on Harry nodded. "More then ready."
Harry was going with Jake and Sam so the three of them did not take one of the charmed galleons but instead took an old ledger that had been found and the three of them felt the pull behind their naval quick enough.
Harry was amazed when they appeared under the water. He had done it with gillyweed in fourth year but this was so different. He gave a thumbs up. "I'm good."
Jake who had instructed him to do this for it was his first dive nodded and handed him an odd bladder like bag. "For anything you locate. You know the things."
The pirate ship was massive and it would take the three days to go through it and they started in the captain's courters at the top. Harry was amazed for it almost looked like the ship was above water for everything had been charmed so it would not float away. It was why so little had been found. Wizard ship wrecks were much harder to be located because of these charms and spells.
Harry was amazed as he went through the captain's desk and found a number of old maps and ledgers which he filled his bag with. Harry had no idea where the time went going through all of the items. He didn't realize it was time to go up until Jake tapped on his hand and motioned him to take the portkey.
Back on the other ship Harry was amazed. "That was incredible. Even after the treasures are gone I can see why you guys leave it in place and remove the charms."
Jake nodded. "We own the rights as the company and make nearly as much from tourist diving there as from the treasure though over a longer period of time."
Harry showed all of the items he had found and even Jake was impressed for there were a few that he had some newbies would never have thought to take for they would not have seen the historical or financial upside of them.
Jake was congratulating them when they got back to land and Lucius came for him. Jake turned to Lucius. "If you have any more like Harry send them our way."
Lucius shared a smile with Harry and shook Jake's hand. "Should I take that as you will be borrowing my apprentice for the rest of the week?"
Jake turned back to Harry. "We'd like you to come back and you definitely have an offer to intern this summer and a job offer when you graduate if you keep this up."
Harry shook his hand. "Thank you Jake. I'd really appreciate this week and working with you this summer when Lucius can go without me. I'll consider the rest later."
Both men laughed and assured him that they definitely did not expect Harry to consider a career with them after only one day of diving especially after there was a lot of desk work and such in prep before the actual dives. Promising to collect him the same time the next day, Jake saw the two of them to the beach.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Saturday they had one day left and since Harry had such an amazing time with the dive and had been working with them all week Lucius wanted the two of them to have a special last day together before they headed back. Harry was as excited about this work option as before they came and Lucius assured him they'd work it out so that Harry could intern that summer. Harry was amazed to learn he was getting a small share of the profit and his name would be on official records for the dive.
Lucius after breakfast decided to take them to the wizard town on the island. "I thought since you have been in and on the water all week we could use a change."
Harry smiled when he saw the town. "Compared to the resort it almost looks like we entered a muggle area again except for brooms instead of cars."
Lucius smiled. "Like Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley normal muggle areas are not that different. But I guess after the resort this must seem so different."
They enjoyed a morning in town among the brightly colored houses and shops and did some shopping in the open market. They had lunch at an open cafe where there were incredible tropical drinks, his like an actual volcano and not simply the name. Lucius drew him to his feet to dance to the incredible live music which was being provided and they continued for a further walk from town and along the beach.
Lucius led him up onto a cliff where these odd bird like things similar to muggle hanggliders he assumed waited. "I thought this was a perfect way to end our day."
Harry marvelled as they were strapped into seats below it which were quite comfortable. "I have road a hippogriff and live on a broom but this is really odd."
Lucius kissed him. "This is one of the most amazing ways to see the island and the resort from above and it is actually safer then either of the other ways you fly."
Though it was material and not a bird the item actually flapped its wings like a giant bird and could soar and move, pick up speed or slow as the driver who turned out to be Lucius as he was experienced, directed it. At first Harry was not fond for it felt like being on a swing with seat belt and he would have rather a broom under him but once he relaxed and saw the incredible views especially when they flew low and skimmed over the top of tress and Lucius picked a flower off the top for him, he had to admit it was an incredible ride.
That night they finished their trip as they started and had a romantic candle light dinner at their suite. Lucius handed him a gift. "So you don't forget."
Harry looked up from the box. "I don't think I could ever forget this even if I tried but thank you."
Harry opened to find a beautiful black coral necklace and he was surprised to find one of the galleons from the dive as the pendent to it. Lucius reminded him other then the share the divers got, the wreck belonged to him and he had thought Harry deserved a reminder. Harry smiled as Lucius clasped it around his neck. They were finishing desert as the sun was setting. Hours later as they lay entwined in bed they found the value of the suite as an incredible meteor shower could be seen.
Harry snuggled into his arms and looked up to see his lover's eyes. "Thank you for this amazing holiday. I can't even imagine a more perfect week."
Lucius brushed his lips with a kiss. "Maybe we can come back here for or honeymoon one day."
He was not surprised when Harry was silent after that comment for a bit for Harry was still squeamish about such talk though no longer vocal in opposition, but what Harry did say before he drifted off to sleep in his arms, shocked him to the core.
"Maybe." Harry whispered.
