He looked at the album from Remus. "Can I take that master? Can I take it with me?"
Lucius could see the surprise in Remus' face. And the tears in his eyes as well. He was not sure what the album was. But he assumed it was of Harry. He knew Remus would have been trying to reach Harry. He had been trying to bring his godson back to him. He would have expected no less. If it was Draco he would have done it. He would have done anything for his son. He prayed if this was Draco he would have had the same courage. He knew what it was taking Remus to give up Harry. He knew the man was not only giving up care of a child that he loved as a son but he was also risking the love of his life. Lucius hoped if he had ever been in the same position he would have been as selfless as Remus was willing to be. Remus would have his visitation though. He would not cut the man from Harry's life.
But he was willing. He loved Jade, Harry. If he thought he could be happy here he would leave him. If Harry had freedom he would leave him. But he was not. And he did not. Harry was Jade. He was not the same boy he was before. Lucius would help him heal. He would bring him back to humanity. But he would do it. He would be the one there with Harry helping him through this. He knew things would never be better until they could bring down Albus. Harry would always be a prisoner. If they could not, when Draco was done school he would take Harry away to another country where he could have a normal life. But he could not leave Draco as well.
Remus brought the book over. "This is an album Hagrid started for Harry and we have added to. Pictures of his parents, of us, of those he loves."
Lucius took it. "Of course my precious you can have this. You can have this and anything else in these rooms. You know I want you to be happy."
Severus had packed all of Harry's trunk. His cloak and broom, his map, they had all been saved. His wand. They had kept them from Albus and from others. They wondered about his friends. They would not tell them. Very few had even mourned Harry's death. At least for real. The twins were among the few. They were not sure how to handle if Harry asked of them. But the only person had had wanted was Lucius. All he asked for was Lucius.
Harry looked up with shinning green eyes as he was handed the book. "Master can Moony come visit?"
Lucius smiled and nodded. "Your godfather will be coming to visit you all of the time. Now that the bad men are gone Jade you can have more company."
He coaxed Jade up and he smiled as he watched him gingerly hugging Remus. He still eyed Lucius nervously. Lucius just encouraged it. He had a feeling Harry had a split personality. He had known a part of Harry had broken away. He looked at Harry and saw perhaps a bit of Harry and Jade were showing together. He liked it. Jade had such a beautiful innocence to him. He was like a little child exploring a new world out there. He swore to himself his little one would have a chance.
The war had robbed Harry of a childhood. He had grown up in an abusive home. He had never had a normal schooling. And then this happened. But Lucius would give him it all. His manor had a pool and stables, and a quidditch pitch. Harry would have a chance to study and have as normal a life as he could offer him. He loved his precious and he swore to himself as much as Harry as they took the portkey that he would do what he had promised and more.
He saw Jade looking at Spinner's end. "We will not be staying here my sweet. It is time for us to go home. Time for you to see where I live, where we live now."
Jade came into his arms but looked confused. "Home?"
Lucius apparated them to the extensive grounds of his manor. As he walked Jade towards the house he explained about the pitch and the stables. The pool. He offered to teach precious how to ride. They got all the way up stairs and to the bedrooms before Jade even said anything. He was scared when Lucius tried to direct him to a bedroom and tell him that it was his bedroom.
Jade looked at him spooked. "Jade bad? Jade is sorry Master. Jade do better master. Please don't send Jade away master. Jade don't need the album. Jade bad to ask."
Lucius kissed him. "You're not bad little one. And you can call me Luc. I am not going to force you to share a bed with me. It is your choice; this is your room now."
Jade shook his head. "No. No. Master chain me. Master please. Master take away book, take away bathroom. Please Jade wants to stay with master. Please."
Collecting Jade into his arms he directed him into his own suites. He had not meant to scare him. He was worried that as long as Jade shared his room he would expect himself to have to submit sexually as well. He had sworn that he would not force Jade any more. He loved Jade. And he hoped Jade would willingly come to be with him. But he would be patient and he would take his time. He would win his precious' heart and not just his loyalty.
He ordered one of the elves to unpack. He showed precious the rooms. Precious was shocked to see clothes for him. Lucius knew he would have to get Jade more. Jade had grown and most of the clothes Jade had were hand me downs any ways. For now the clothes came from Draco.
He kissed Jade. "You have the freedom of the manor and the grounds. You don't need to stay in the rooms any more."
Jade looked at the door in confusion. "I go with you master. Only with you master. Jade stay here but when master say to come."
Shaking his had Lucius reminded him they were no longer with Voldemort. There was no one in the manor to hurt him. He did not need to stay with Lucius. Lucius knew this definitely was going to be a struggle for Jade. Jade was not use to these freedoms. But he would. With gentle encouragement Lucius was sure he could. He hated how long he had been forced to program Jade. But he would get through to him. Even the trying to convince Jade to call him Luc instead of master was enough to make Jade nearly break down again. He decided to give Jade a little tour and see if he might be able to put his precious at ease.
He thought of something. "You know I have a big library full of books and a window seat for you to curl up in." He saw Jade\s eyes sparkle and head pick up a bit.
