Chapter Thirty: One Third the Info
Once back at the castle Harry was quite happy to see his friends, Neville, Seamus and Dean hugged him as they entered the suite and he relaxed some before trading stories. Tom and Lucius barricaded themselves away in a study to avoid story Harry was telling now about their drunken ramblings and how Harry tricked them into being drunk. It was obvious when he started talking about the man who attacked them since all three shouted "What!" at the top of their lungs, and Snuffles was actually the first story Harry told them.
After the three went to their rooms Harry went to the study and knocked gently and got glanced at as Lucius opened the door, "Hey do I have to face the rebellion today or can we…I don't know do something else?" he was trying to put off dealing with the people he betrayed.
"Harry the rebellion has to be dealt with," Tom said as the teenager came into the room, "It will be alright I promise, but if you want we can put it off till morning. Let you readjust to the school," getting a brilliant smile he offered the young man a cup of coffee and watched him relax back with his coffee, "Now we have a few questions we would like to ask…do you mind?"
"It's about what will happen after the war, after you leave Hogwarts," Lucius added getting a look which they both knew meant to ask away the blond decided to take the lead for once, "What are your plans once you leave school?"
"Hmm," Harry looked down into the deep brown of his steaming coffee as if it held all the answers he needed, "Well I'm not sure, before Dumbledore's death it was become and Auror, then he died and I decided I didn't want to fight, then we formed a truce of sorts and now I just…I think I'll just take life one day at a time and see where it leads me."
"What if we offered you a path?" Tom asked making Harry glance up in confusion, "Severus is retiring after this year, you know how much he hates teaching and well…children in general, we just needed his past teaching experience to see our way into the school…would you become the Headmaster if given the chance?"
"Wh-what?" Harry asked eyes wide in shock; he had not thought about becoming a Headmaster, teaching possibly but a Headmaster never.
"It works politically as well, you're the face of innocence to most still see you as that and even after your loyalties are confirmed most everyone will not be able to picture you as a Dark prince," Tom said and before Harry could comment about the Prince comment he kept talking, "So people will assume you're working from the inside out and that should still any rebellions we might have branch from the school. With me ruling the community in general and Lucius as Minister it puts all of us in high positions."
"Wait distracted," Harry said shaking his head a second before asking, "Dark prince? Why would people see me as a-" yet he shut up suddenly and turned to the door, "Snuffles attack!" he called and they heard three screams from Harry's friends, "Of for the love of…" and he sighed, "My friends give me such a headache."
Since Harry was distracted from his question Tom asked, "Will you become Headmaster?"
"Sure I love this school besides this way I can try and keep things fair," Harry smiled some forgetting completely about his question, getting Lucius to trace his cheek he smiled slightly, "Any other questions?"
"Yeah one," Lucius murmured softly, getting a soft 'hmm' noise he asked even softer, "Do you plan to get married?"
"Huh?" Harry blinked obviously confused at that question.
"We need to know so as to decide upon a position for your spouse or spouses since in the wizarding world in certain circumstances a wizard can have two," Tom said before seeing the wheels turning quickly in those green eyes.
Smiling softly Harry asked, "Well here's a question for the both of you," getting two curious looks he asked, "Can wizards marry other wizards?" getting a double nod he chuckled lightly, "Then Lucius will you be divorcing Narcissa so as to be able to marry Tom?"
"Wha…" Lucius blinked before tinting red, "What do you mean by that?"
"Oh come on we lived in a cottage together not to mention this suite, you two are obviously lovers," Harry said before watching Tom tint pink, "Why do you both look like I ruined some sort of…surprise or something?"
"We had not known you could hear us," Tom said before clearing his throat, "Lucius filed for divorce a long time ago, the only thing keeping him married is she has not signed the divorce papers just yet."
"Can I come to the wedding?" Harry asked smiling some; his eyes seemed to almost sparkle with glee over something neither could quite place.
"We want you there," Lucius murmured not adding that they wanted a trio bonding ceremony with Harry as their third.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world," Harry said jumping up and kissing both their cheeks and heading for the door coffee in hand, "By the way I knew about trio bonding but thanks for trying to inform me," and he smiled some as if it was nothing and he left for his room leaving behind the very confused blond and the highly startled Tom.
After nearly ten minutes Tom asked, "Do you ever feel like he is pulling the strings in this relationship?" getting a nod he licked his lips some and turned his eyes on the blond, "Hmm, so do you think his comment was really just about him being able to marry two people or about him being our third?"
"I…I have no idea," Lucius sighed the one thing they knew they would never quite figure out is just how tricky Harry could be, they knew he could come off as an angel when he wanted to be but that he was more devious then them at times.
