Chapter Ten: Lazy Day

Laying on the floor of the sitting room kicking his legs behind him Harry was reading a book, Seamus was asleep in an arm chair and Tom was grading papers spread out on the sofa. Lucius stepped from his room and gulped, the first thing he saw was Harry's bare back, the teen's shirt was on Seamus who had stolen it earlier and his eyes were drawn down the lean back. When he caught Tom smirking at him he disappeared abck into his room.

That night Lucius bolted up when he heard Harry throw Seamus from his room, looking out he saw Seamus upside down against a wall and Harry standing there both hands glowing a deadly green, "I am not a teddy bear and do not come in my room again or I will kill you," stepping back in his room the door closed and Seamus was left in the sitting room rubbing his head and backside.

"He warned you once," Tom said he had come out to investigate as well and found it amusing, "What is with you anyways?"

"HE use to allow us all to curl up with him," Seamus said standing and cracking his back, "But ever since Sirius…he only allows Nev in the start of the year because he needs the comfort," sighing he sat down on the sofa and saw Lucius going to Harry's door, "I wouldn't do that if-" but Lucius had knocked already.

Opening the door ready to snap at Seamus the dark haired teen froze and blinked, "Oh hello."

"Mind if I come in?" Lucius asked which made Tom smirk, when Harry actually stepped aside so he could come in Seamus sputtered. Once in the room he closed the door and turned to see Harry had already jumped on his bed and was sitting cross legged watching him, suddenly he realized he was no longer able to think right.

"Did you want something?" Harry asked getting blinked at he tilted his head, "Um…hello?"

"I…you…you sleep in your boxers?" Lucius asked unable to think of anything else.

"No," Harry said rolling his eyes, "I sleep naked, but it's not right to answer the door naked."

"N-naked? As in wearing nothing?" Lucius asked, getting a nod and a concerned look he gulped before shaking his head to get the idea of a drowsy and naked Harry crawling in his bed for a midnight cuddle out of mind, "Why do you not want your friend in here?"

"He's a pain," Harry said rolling his eyes, "Seems to think I don't mind waking up to him randomly curled around me, my teddy bear comment earlier was true, he turns me into a life sized teddy bear."

"Oh," Lucius said before shifting over to stand closer to the bed so he could better see Harry's face in the candlelight, "So…you throw him out how often?"

"Normally once a week," Harry said before asking, "Is there a reason you wanted in here? You never did answer me."

"I just…wanted to see if you were alright, that was quite a display of magic back there," Lucius said which made Harry smile at him, "You seem fine, I should go back to bed, night," and he left the room quickly before he did something stupid. Once in his own room he locked the door an fell to his bed before murmuring, "He is my sons age…and I'm married...twice his age…" he tried reasoning to the rational part of his mind why lusting after the teen was a bad idea.

The next morning was Saturday and he saw Harry sitting with Seamus going over their homework, Tom was reading a book while spread out on the sofa. The Dark Lord had pretty much claimed the sofa as his own, Harry seemed partial to the floor and Seamus was comfortable where ever. Sitting in the arm chair Lucius started going through the homework of dunderhead third years.

"I can help with that," Harry said glancing at him, "I am suppose to be your apprentice."

"Oh good point," Lucius said handing Harry the reports from first year to fourth year he smirked, "You can deal with the children, I'll handle those who might be compeetant."

"Thanks," Harry rolled his eyes before starting in on the reports, a quill in hand he bagn correcting mistakes and grading papers. He was actually rather quick at it, by he time he made it through his reports Lucius still had three left. Rolling onto his back Harry kicked Seamus's hand away from the fireplace, "Moron fire, hot, no touchy!"

"Sorry," Seamus said cheeks tinting pink, "I stared at them again."

"You'll burn yourself one of these days," Harry said with a sigh before closing his eyes, "Seamus what are the other two up to?"

"Well Dean told me he was going to try out for Quittditch, better way to keep an eye on the students is if one of us is in the sky at each game. Not to mention locker room gossip," Seamus said which made Harry blink at him, "And Neville is trying to find a way into the rebellion, so we have a mole there."

"So in other words they are doing my dirty work so I can be lasy for the day, love it," Harry said closing his eyes, when Seamus went to say something he held up a hand, "Ssh, quiet day."

Tom chuckled as he looked at the teens, while Lucius was trying not to smirk at how when given the choice between going out and doing his own work or having his friends doing the work, he let his friends do it.
