WARNING: Extreme fluff at the ending.
Lucius was sitting at his desk, pondering about one very important problem. He needed someone's advice on something, and that person could not be Harry, since this problem was supposed to be kept secret. He didn't really want to get anyone involved, but he had realized that it was inevitable.
'I guess it'll have to be Severus.' he thought and thus, he made his decision. Lucius quickly wrote a letter and fastened it to the owl that was always in his office, ready to be used.
After he had sent the letter, he walked over to his bookshelf and opened a magazine on one specific page. He had even marked it with a small piece of paper. After looking at the picture on the page for some moments, the older Malfoy put it where it had originally been and walked out of his office. He had to speak with his son, asking for his opinion.
Harry enjoyed the feeling of fresh air hitting his face. He looked down at the ground so far below him. He remembered that he had loved to fly at Hogwarts, since it made him feel that he could escape anything that was thrown his way. With the war against Voldemort and Dumbledore's manipulating, that was one of the things that made him feel truly free and independent. In the air, he could do whatever he wanted and not one person were there to order him around. To Harry, flying was bliss.
The raven-haired boy decided to take one more round around the Malfoy property, before returning to the library.
Draco gritted his teeth and shot his transfiguration homework a poisonous glare. McGonagall hadn't been merciful when assigning their homework for the vacation. He had cast a longing stare outside whenever the shadow of Harry passed the window. At one occasion, the bastard had had the nerve to grin and wave at him before disappearing. It annoyed him to no end that Harry could stay at the manor, when he had to go to school. But when he thought about it, he didn't envy him that much after all. Draco could at least see his friends every day, when Harry had to ask Lucius whenever he wanted to see his friends.
Just as Draco grabbed his homework, the door opened and his father came in and sat down next to him.
"Busy, Draco?" he asked, and Draco just gave him a dark glare that his father just laughed at.
"Sorry for interrupting you, but there's something I need your opinion on." he said, the playful tone being replaced by a much more serious one.
"What is it, Father? Is it something serious?" Draco asked, fearing the worst.
"Well, I guess it's quiet serious, but not in the dangerous kind of serious. But it certainly may change the life we're having now, forever."
Draco raised his eyebrows and urged his father on, without really saying it out loud.
"Well, it's about me and Harry" Lucius said and smiled a little. Draco suspected what it was his father wanted to discuss, but he wanted the older man to say it anyway.
Harry was feeling great, lately everything seemed to be perfect. He had an amazing older lover, Draco had turned out to be a truly great guy to hang out with and he could fly on his broom all he wanted. Life really was great living sometimes.
He stopped outside the library doors, since he heard Lucius' voice and then Draco's. They weren't speaking so loudly that Harry could hear what it was they were discussion though, something that somewhat annoyed him. He guessed he had gotten some Marauder genes from his father, always wanting to listen in on conversations and play pranks on people. Especially Draco had been a victim of one of his more vicious pranks, something that the blond had kept as an excuse for playing even more vicious ones on him in return.
Lucius had had to step in on more that one occasion to prevent them from seriously injuring each other.
Harry decided that whatever it was the two Malfoys were discussion, he would be told sooner or later anyway, therefor he quickly knocked on the door and walked inside.
When he came in, Lucius appeared to be helping Draco with his homework, but they seemed way too into it and Draco seemed honestly fascinated by it, something that Harry couldn't believe at all, since the younger Malfoy wasn't actually too interested in the subject.
"Okay, what are you two playing at?" he asked, and lifted an eyebrow at the twin looks of innocence of both their faces.
"What are you insinuating, Harry? I'm just helping my son doing his homework!" Lucius said incredulously. Harry just sighed. "I guess you won't tell me, huh?" he asked and smiled.
"Nope." both Malfoys said simultaneously.
Harry sat down in Lucius' lap and the older man kissed him softly. "I promise that'll you know soon enough, but for now, it's a surprise." he said and Harry accepted that without another word. He knew Lucius wasn't one that lied about things that were not top secret or of such a personal level that he didn't want anyone to know of it. Even then, he would've made up a story that anyone could accept.
"So, what are you doing, Draco? Still struggling with your homework?" Harry said and grinned at the younger Malfoy.
Draco glared at him and didn't answer, something that just made Harry laugh.
They sat there for some time, just laughing, talking and for Harry's part, occasionally making fun of Draco, something that Lucius joined in on, making Draco pissed.
Later, Harry was lying on his bed. He was bored out of his mind. Lucius had went off to do something and he had told Harry to stay at the manor and wait until he got back. Seriously, were was the fun in that, Harry asked himself. And not only that, but Draco had decided that he didn't want to see Harry's face the rest of the day because of the teasing earlier.
Harry sighed once more, and turned over so that he was lying on his back.
Lucius was currently sitting in Severus Snape's living room, having a staring contest with said owner of the room. After what felt like an eternity, Severus finally spoke.
"So, if I understood this right, you want me to help you find the perfect wedding ring for Potter?" he asked and Lucius nodded.
"I've decided. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I love him." he said and Snape sighed dramatically.
"What I don't get though, is why you think I am the person to ask. Like I have any idea what the perfect wedding ring looks like." Severus scoffed.
"Oh, I'm sure you do, you just don't know yet." A voice from the door sounded, and the two men turned around to see Ron standing there, grinning.
"Ron Weasley, what do you think you are doing, listening on on my conversations?" Severus said briskly, but Ron just laughed and walked over to them.
"So, you've finally decided to propose to Harry then?" the red-head asked Lucius who nodded.
Ron smiled softly. "That's good. Merlin knows that guy deserves every bit of happiness he can get!"
So, one thing led to another and that was the reason Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy were currently standing in a jewelry shop in Diagon Alley. The shop-keeper was busy trying not to do anything that could make the two Death Eaters angry, and they were trying equally as hard to just ignore him.
"So, you seen anything you like yet" Severus asked and Lucius shook his head and sighed. "It annoys me that I don't know what Harry would like in a ring. Maybe he likes big rings with huge stones, or just a thin band of gold or silver. This is so hard!" he said and Snape sighed.
"Well, judging from his personality, I don't think he's likely to like big, flashy rings. You should probably go for a discreet one." he said and Lucius nodded.
But when they had searched the shop, and gone through every one of the rings that were there, they had still to find the perfect one. Just as they decided that they should visit another shop, the shop-keeper nervously said "I have one ring that may be the one you are searching for, Mister Malfoy." he said. "It's just finished, so I haven't had the time to display it yet."
Lucius decided to give it a shot and nodded. They waited impatiently for the man to return, but when he did, Lucius decided it was worth the wait.
The ring was perfect. It wasn't big, but it had a snake and a lion head. Where the heads met, there was a small ruby and Lucius couldn't stop looking at it.
"It's perfect" Severus said and Lucius couldn't help but nod. They spent some time discussing the prize, and when they came out of the shop, Lucius couldn't wait to present the ring for Harry. He remembered the conversation he had had with Draco, and he was happy that his son didn't mind that he married Harry. Now it was only up to Harry to decide whether he wanted to marry Lucius or not. To be honest, the silver-haired man was slightly worried about that.
Harry's situation hadn't changed much. He was still bored, the only change was that he had moved out in the garden. Now, he was sitting under the tree he usually sat under when he was bored, or just wanted to relax.
"Wonder when Lucius comes back." he said out loud and yawned. He almost jumped out of his skin when Lucius spoke from behind him. "Did you miss me, love?" he said teasingly and Harry sent him an annoyed glance.
"Luc! You almost scared the life out of me!" he complained, but Lucius just laughed.
"Come, I want to show you something Harry." he said and offered his hand to the still sitting boy.
Harry took the offered hand, and together they walked down a small path that led to a more secluded part of the garden.
"So? What was it you wanted to show me?" Harry asked when they had walked together for some time. Lucius just smiled, and Harry sighed.
Finally, they stopped and Harry gasped. They were standing in what seemed like a small sea of flowers. There were flowers in all colors, types and with different smells. Harry was so busy taking it all in that he didn't notice Lucius kneeling in front of him.
He did, however, notice when Lucius carefully took his hand. "Luc? What is-" Harry's eyes widened when he saw the small box that Lucius held in his hand.
"I told you I was going to tell you what Draco and I were discussing earlier today, and I'll just tell you that my son was perfectly fine with what I'm going to ask you now." Before Harry had the chance to say anything, the Malfoy matriarch opened the box so Harry could see the beautiful ring and his eyes widened even more.
"Harry James Potter, would you do me the honor of marrying me?" Lucius asked, and he tried to ignore the nervous knot in the pit of his stomach. He almost fell over with happiness when Harry's face lit up in a wide smile and tears started to run down his face.
"Yes, I do, Lucius. I love you!" the raven-haired boy cried and threw his arms around Lucius' neck. Lucius laughed and when Harry had calmed down enough to let go of his neck, he removed the ring from the box and carefully slid it on Harry's finger.
"I love you, Harry." Lucius whispered in the younger boy's ear and Harry smiled softly and kissed the older man. "I love you too, Luc."
