I'm so so so so sorry for not updating earlier, but my life is getting more and more hectic, and it's only in the weekends I can write, so it's going a bit slow...
Here's a new chapter for you, anyway! Warning: Fluff at the end.
Hope you like! Oh, and thank you for the wonderful reviews! Cookies to everyone!
On the other side of the door in to Lucius' office stood Draco, with one ear pressed to the door and face pale as a sheet.
Draco had to support himself against the wall, when he finally had managed to get up to his room. He couldn't believe what it was he had heard from inside his father's office. Potter and his own father?! It couldn't be true, there was just no way that his father would like a person the same age as Draco himself, and a boy nonetheless!
Draco walked over to his chair and fell into it, not even trying to sit up properly.
He knew he was only trying to calm himself down. He knew he hadn't heard wrong, he had heard Potter and his father talking, confessing to each other.
He hadn't even known his father liked men! He had always thought his father sincerely loved his wife, Draco's mother, so it had been quiet a shock when they had decided to break it off.
Draco sighed, rubbing his eyes tiredly. It was, after all, his father's choice, but he couldn't accept it, not now at least. He needed to talk with his father, he realized. And he couldn't help but dread that conversation. It wasn't going to be a easy thing to discuss with the proud, never-talk-about-my-feelings father. Draco sighed once more.
Harry moaned when Lucius kissed him, and he parted his lips, to let the man inside, which he wasn't slow to use.
Their tongues began a battle for dominance, which, needless to say, Lucius won.
Harry was happier than he had been in a long time, every pore in his body felt like it was on fire, Lucius's tongue exploring his mouth.
"Mr. Malfoy-" Harry started, but the other man interrupted him. "Don't call me by my last name. It's so formal. Call me Lucius." he said, earning a wide, sincere smile from Harry.
He was finally together with the man he had longed for so long.
Harry was pulled out of his thoughts when he felt Lucius's hand starting to sneak into his robe and under his shirt, exploring his chest. The man started to tease his nipples and Harry couldn't help give out a throaty moan. Hell, it felt so good, even though the man was just touching.
Lucius smirked, and whispered into Harry's ear "Like that, Harry?" Harry could only nod, before he gasped once more, when the older man brushed a sensitive spot.
Suddenly, a noise from behind them made them look up, or rather Lucius look up, since Harry was still a little dazed from Lucius's touches, though he soon collected himself when he heard Lucius say "My Lord!"
Harry turned his head, blushing madly, when he saw Voldemort leaning against the fireplace, looking highly amused.
Lucius on the other hand, seemed to be unsure what to do. He looked nervous, but at the same time a little proud, though Harry couldn't really guess why.
"So, you two finally managed to confess, I see!" Voldemort said, grinning madly. Lucius just nodded, Harry wasn't sure what to do really. I mean, here he was, making out with the man that he was given to, as a gift, and then having his ex-nemesis walking in on them.
A slightly uncomfortable tension started to fill the room, as they just continued to watch each other. Voldemort still with that annoying smirk.
"Well then, it seems my plan worked out pretty well, didn't it?" it was Voldemort who finally broke the silence.
"Plan? What plan?" Harry said, now feeling terribly left out, since he had the feeling Lucius had an idea of what the Dark Lord was talking about.
Said Dark Lord cast a teasing smile at Lucius. "Haven't you told him about what I said to you when I gave him to you?" Lucius just shook his head, clearly avoiding Harry's eyes, and Harry was sure that if Lucius hadn't been the proud Malfoy that he was, he would have been blushing now.
Voldemort grinned even more, before turning to Harry, walking over and leaning against his chair. Harry sent him a slightly puzzled look, before looking over at Lucius who still avoided his eyes, and Harry could've sworn his cheeks were just a little bit pink.
"It seems Lucius have chosen to not tell you the reason I gave you to him, Harry." Voldemort said, obviously feeling quiet pleased with the tense atmosphere in the room.
"You see, Lucius have had an eye for you for quiet a while, Harry, I thought it was just because you were pretty powerful in the beginning, but then I realized it was more than that. Ever since then, I've wanted to, um, how to put it, create a situation where you were forced to spend time together." Voldemort said, and added "it seems like my plan was rather successful don't you thing?"
Harry looked over at Lucius once more. The other man had walked over to his desk, trying to look indifferent to everything around him, though it wasn't working.
Harry felt himself smirk a little, before walking over to the desk leaning over it so his face was in front of Lucius'.
"Hey, is that true?" he asked innocently, giving the man his best puppy-eye look.
Lucius didn't answer at first, but then nodded stiffly.
Harry smiled widely and gave Lucius a hug and a peck on the cheek. "You know, that makes me happy to hear" he whispered in the man's ear, making Lucius smile slightly. None of them noticed Voldemort, silently slipping out of the room, still grinning.
While all of this took place, Draco was sitting in his room, still thinking over how to confront his father. He had been discussing it with himself over and over, but still hadn't come up with a way to put it that wouldn't make his father angry or not listening to him.
He knew from experience that if he came to talk to Lucius, and he thought it uninteresting, he wouldn't listen to him and ignore him completely. Alas, he had to put in a way that caught Lucius' attention.
He bit his lip, he had thought of asking Potter about it, but he wasn't sure if the other boy would like being asked to help Draco to confront his now boyfriend, or whatever he was to Potter. Draco sighed once more, he really didn't see a way out of this.
He was just about to lay down on his bed to take a short nap, just to clear his head, when he heard a knock on the door.
A little annoyed with being interrupted in his important plans, and a little curious to who it might be, he walked over to the door and opened it, almost jumping back in surprise when he saw who it was.
"M-my Lord! May I help you?" Draco asked, remembering the things his father had thought him about being extremely cautious and respectful around Voldemort. After all, he was the Dark Lord.
To his surprise, Voldemort just walked past him, without answering. When he had gotten into the room, he motioned for Draco to close the door, which Draco did.
"Now, to answer your question Draco" Voldemort said, and walked over to a chair and sat down. "I don't need any help, but it seems like you do."
Draco blinked, before stuttering out "M-me My Lord? What w-would that be?"
Voldemort just smiled. "I know your father pretty well, you know, and I also know that you were listening in on Harry and your father's conversation earlier! So I figured that you'd be wondering what was going on." Voldemort said casually, making Draco blush a little, knowing that someone knew he had spied on his father.
"So," Voldemort continued "do you want me to help you with finding a way to talk to your father?"
Draco only needed to think about it for a couple of seconds before he nodded. "Yes, that would certainly help me very much." he said, grateful, but a little perplexed as to why Voldemort was helping him with a thing like talking to Lucius.
About one hour of talking and planning later, Draco once more that
day stood outside the doors to Lucius' office and prayed to every god he could think of that Potter wasn't in the room together with him, since that'd make the whole matter much more difficult to bring up.
He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath and knocked. A couple of seconds later, a 'come in' was heard, and Draco opened the door and walked in. When he saw that Lucius was alone in the room, signing some papers, he didn't show it, but inside, he was dancing around, waving small flags.
His father looked up at him when he didn't start to speak. "Yes, Draco. What is it?" he asked, arching an eyebrow slightly.
Draco went through the conversation he had had with Voldemort earlier in his head, before he started talking. "Father, I'd like to talk with you, about your new relationship." he said, praying that his father wouldn't be angry with that way of putting it. He was relieved, when the only thing Lucius did, was arch his eyebrow even more. "My new relationship? Why do you want to know?" Lucius leaned back in his chair and studied Draco carefully, it looked like he expected the boy to come up with some lame excuse and run away from the situation.
"I want to know because this also concerns me. You are my father, and Potter and I are not the best of friends, as you already know."
Lucius nodded. "That seems reasonable. Okay, I'll let you know, if you tell me where you heard that Harry and I are together." When he said the last words, Lucius lent forward again and sent Draco a sharp glance.
"The Dark Lord told me" Draco said smoothly, after all, that was partially true.
Lucius thought about, then nodded. "Okay then, you ask the questions and I'll answer them." he said and lent back in his chair.
Draco nodded again, a little stiffly, since he was becoming a little nervous. He walked over to the other chair in the room and sat down so that he was facing his father.
"Why Potter?" Draco asked, carefully studying Lucius' face.
Lucius raised an eyebrow, and said "why not? Harry is powerful, gentle and good-looking. Is there a reason to not like him?"
Draco thought about it. Lucius was correct, he guessed. Harry was powerful, that was for sure, he wasn't so sure about gentle though... And good-looking? Well, the boy did have some nice features, he agreed.
"Okay, then, when did you start to like him more than my mother and when did you start losing your feelings for her?"
Lucius sighed, this was starting to look more and more like a trial, where he had to answer all questions asked.
"My feelings for Harry started around the first time I met him. Remember that incident where he gave Dobby a sock?" Draco nodded, of course he remembered, he had been pissed because Dobby had run off.
"Well" his father continued, "about my feelings for your mother, I did once love her, but that was a long time ago, and my feelings for her soon went from love to just friendly feelings. She realized this, and that was one of the reasons why she left."
Draco bit his lip. It was kind of hard, hearing that his father no longer loved his mother.
"Okay, final question" Draco said and looked straight at Lucius "do you love Potter? Do you want to spend the rest of your life together with him?"
"Yes, I am pretty sure I do" Lucius said without hesitation, a little smile on his lips.
Draco nodded, before rising from the chair. "Then I won't try to stop you father, though I may not get used to the fact that my school-enemy is becoming my stepfather very quickly."
Lucius smiled and nodded. "That's okay, I don't think Harry expected that either."
When Draco had walked out of the room, Lucius pushed away from the desk and looked under it. There, with a soft smile on his face, sat Harry.
"Now, he's gone, you can come up now, you know." Lucius said, giving Harry a little, teasing smile.
It didn't take Harry too long to get out from under the desk and up to Lucius' lap.
"I'm happy, you know." Harry said, while combing his hands through Lucius' long, soft hair.
"Because Draco said he would accept you as a sort of stepfather?"
Harry nodded. "That too, but you said you were willing to spend the rest of your life with me" he said, now smiling brightly.
"So I did. And I meant it, even though living with me may be a little trying sometimes" he added.
Harry laughed. "Well, I'll try my best to hold out" Lucius smiled, before kissing the boy softly.
Okay, hope you like! I'm probably putting a lemon in the next chapter, so look forward to next chapter!
