Remus could not understand what was going on. He and Severus had been summoned to the house. They had found Harry nearly bleeding to death. Lucius had been hurt as well. But no one seemed to be saying something. He knew that Sirius had been angry. But he never expected that it would end up coming to blood like this. He needed answers and he needed them now. He needed to know how Lucius had risked his godson being in the house. And he needed to know what took place.
Sirius spoke up. "I came to get my godson and Lucius lied to me and told me he was not here. I lost my temper and I attacked Lucius."
Lucius snarled. "I did not lie to you. As far as I was aware Harry was gone. I sent him with his house elf. Dibby was supposed to take him to Spinner's End."
He had no idea why Harry had been in the house. He had ordered his house elf to take Harry away to safety. He had known deep down Sirius could be a risk. He had never believed that Sirius would have put his godson at risk. And in fairness he had not. Sirius had been trying to hex Lucius and Harry had thrown himself in the way. It made Lucius feel even guiltier then before. His beloved little one had been so desperate to protect him he had jumped in front of a hex. It was Harry and Jade. He knew that Harry had always been willing to risk his life to protect people that he cared about. And Jade cared about him deeply or at least was loyal to him.
They needed answers but for right now he needed answers. He needed to know how it was that his precious had been here at the manor. He had believed he was safe and that if anything happened to him Severus would take Harry. He summoned the little elf and demanded to know what was going on.
Dibby bowed. "Jade he be refusing to be going master. Jade be scared for master. Dibby be trying to take but Jade refused. Jade scared master be killed."
Remus rounded on Sirius. "You attacked Lucius? You fool. You bloody fool. Didn't spending over a decade in prison teach you anything?"
He had waited for Sirius to get released from prison. He had put his life on hold for him. He knew that he had broken his engagement with Sirius. But he still cared about the man. But he was starting to see Severus was right. The man he loved was gone. The Sirius he had known in school had died with James. He had believed Sirius was his soul mate. Maybe he was. But h was not Sirius'. Sirius had loved one person with all of his heart and that was James. Sirius could never be what Remus needed him to be. He had dedicated his life to a man who would never fully be his. He had given up so much for the man. Severus was right.
Sirius was pale as a ghost. He looked at Remus. It had not gone unnoticed by him that Remus had come with Severus. He was not really surprised by that. He knew Severus had been after his boyfriend for years. He should have known that Remus would go to him for comfort. He had no doubt Severus had jumped at it.
Sirius looked at him. "You handed my godson back to the man who raped him. You had to expect I would come. I thought Lucius was using him. I didn't know..."
Lucius looked up. "I love Harry. I made mistakes but I was trying to save his life. I have been trying to give him back his life. I want to help your godson."
Draco turned on his dad. "I don't get this. I don't get what is happening here. Harry was dead. I want to know what the hell is going on."
Lucius motioned for his son to join him. He knew his son would likely hate him. But he deserved it. And his son deserved to know the full truth of what went on. He told his son from the start. He told him about finding Harry and about how he had kept him. He confessed everything but emphasized he had loved Harry. Severus and even his godfathers admitted that they had known Harry had been there as well. They had known a much as they hated what was being done to Harry that they had to keep him safe. Lucius could not look at his son as he told him.
Draco could not believe this. It was sickening his father had kept Harry like that. But he heard the truth in his father's voice. He knew Harry was such a martyr. He did not even need to be told about the fire set by Dumbledore though he heard it.
He looked at his dad. "You swear to me you are not using him like that? I mean you haven't brought him back to our home to.......?"
Lucius stopped him. "He is in my bed only because he is too scared to sleep any where else. I am educating him, I am not touching him, and I am trying to help him."
Severus confirmed the conditions his father had agreed to. Sirius for the first time listened. He had never bothered to listen before. He had never asked what Remus had done. He had never given his fiancé a chance to explain what he had been thinking sending Harry back here. He should have known that his beloved would not have anything to hurt Harry. He knew Remus better then that.
Draco looked at his dad and sighed. "I can forgive you. I understand you wanting to protect him. I am sick at what you did to him. But I'll try to understand this."
Lucius kissed his son on the head. "You know how much I love you Draco. You know it killed me not to tell you. And to do that.....if it was not me it would have...."
Draco knew what would have happened if Harry had been given over to someone else. He knew that Harry would have been raped and tortured. His father had forced Harry but he had been far gentler and caring to Harry. As thy spoke he insisted that he wanted to return home. Now that he knew about Harry he wanted to be here. He had missed out on so much with his dad. He did not want to be with his Uncle but here. And perhaps he could help rech through to Harry a well.
As they were talking Sirius turned to Remus. "I am so sorry Moony. I should have let you explain. I love you Moony. Come home to me."
