Lucius had every intention of making their third date as special as their second, wanting a fourth and more. He had never had a problem getting someone to want to be with him. It wasn't like he was Severus, his brother having always lacked the natural charm that most of Slytherin were known for. Lucius was surprised his brother even managed to land the wolf though Remus had always been one to over the lack of charm. He had joked maybe Harry not removed the entire spell o him but he knew that the attraction had been growing between the two men since before the whole bet even. Honestly he was happy for his brother, and not just because he no longer had any competition for Harry. He had not really thought his brother was competition, he had thought that Harry would easily have chosen him and not Severus, but Harry seemed to have been attracted to them both in a way. But though Severus could not deny an attraction, he had so much more with Remus. But Lucius would have won Harry in the end he was sure for he wanted a future with Harry, and he was glad his brother had found happiness else where.

He had spoken to his brother since the second date and Severus told him that Remus was aware of the ward that they had made. Remus knew of the money and the potions work which Severus was donating to the cause and had been pleased to hear it. It seemed they had both been redeemed in the eyes of the older Lupin. But Harry was another matter all together for his dad didn't know the true bet. He was still warning his son that Harry needed to be careful around Lucius as well.

Lucius had just been freed from a horrible arranged marriage and had never thought he would want a serious relationship again. He had thought he would want nothing more then to be the playboy and play the field, traveling perhaps a bit. But now he wanted nothing more then to see his through with Harry.

Harry had put him off for a few weeks though because of quidditch and classes or so was his reasoning. Lucius had a feeling Harry was perhaps worried about the fact they were growing closer to each other and that he was concerned that he would forgive Lucius before he thought it was right to do so. But they did Halloween weekend.

Harry was not surprised when after his last class on Friday he found a delivery, Draco having come to help him get ready. "Is this some kind of joke?"

Draco looked at a bag of candy corn and a strange muggle mask. "I think that maybe it might be a hint or something to get you in the mood for the date."

There was a not telling him not to have on robes so he knew that Draco might be right and he wondered what the man had in store for him. As before Lucius was waiting for him at the gates but this time he didn't have flowers as he had sent them already. Harry had to smile at the fact Lucius was not only already in muggle clothes again but he was also wearing a mask like the one that he had sent for Harry. Harry put the mask on, reminded of Halloweens before he had become a wizard when he had watched his cousin going off to Halloween parties and had never been involved.

Lucius surprised Harry when he took him not to London but to Surrey this time. Lucius had known or found out a lot about Harry's childhood and knew the kind of treatment he had received. He had known Halloween would have been one of the many things he would never have got to enjoy. He had since school but not the muggle ideas and he thought it a perfect way as he was sneaking Harry way from the Halloween feast at school.

He had brought Harry to one of the local Halloween parties. "I knew you never got to have a Halloween before Hogwarts and I wanted to give it back to you."

Harry was amazed as he looked around the block party which was not far from where he grew up. "This is incredible Lucius."

Never had Lucius thought to come to a muggle party but he could not deny it was a good laugh and he and Harry had fun taking part in some of the games. They bobbed for apples and they even competed in and won a pumpkin carving contest though Harry had to remind Lucius more then once that they were in muggle areas and they could not use their wand for he was more then willing to take out his wand when their pumpkin became quite disfigured. It seemed the judges seemed to think that it looked like one of the new hot movie monsters and they had won some jelly beans in black and orange.

It was not exactly the whining and dinning Lucius would normally have done but there was food, hot dogs and chips, and other, and when the bonfires had been lit there was live music and some dancing. And the sky lit up with a show of fireworks, nothing compared to the twins' shows but still a great end to the evening.

Lucius drew him in close as they were heading away from the party. "I know it can't make up for years of Halloweens you missed but I hope you had fun."

Harry fed him one of the jelly beans. "A lot more fun then I would have if I had gone with my cousin as a kid. I quite watching you try to eat a tart with no hands."

They had both tried a few things they had never done before and Lucius had to admit he had an amazing time. He kept some muggle technology at the manor, had a pool and TV, and had even allowed his son soda, but he had not really spent much time in the muggle world except on foreign trips. He had been to museums and galleries, and not to kid's parties, but he found himself wishing he had taken Draco to something like this when he was a child.

Back at the school Lucius kissed him lightly. "I know it wasn't the champagne and lobster of our first date but I know how much you missed out on and wanted to...."

Harry cut him off with a kiss. "Not that I mind some spoiling once and a while but tonight meant a lot to me Luc. Definitely more then some fine dinner would have."

Promising Harry if there would be another date that he would give him both in the future, Lucius just wanted to keep that smile on his face. Harry assured Lucius he definitely wanted another date though the next weekend was the quidditch game and it would have to wait. Lucius thought he could either take Harry to celebrate, or for his son's sake console after the game but for now he held his tongue.

Before Harry headed away he whispered the password. "Consider that a Halloween gift but you hurt me again and I will castrate you for real."
