Sirius watched his husband as he sat curled up pretending to be reading but he knew Remus had not read more than a line of the book. He knew what his husband was thinking about because he had been thinking about the same thing. They were thinking about their precious son, Harry, who they had both desperately been missing. Harry had accused them at Christmas of having a baby to replace him as they had sold him off but he could not have been further from the truth. Being pregnant was making them long for their son even more then before, thinking about it possibly being a son made them yearn for their cub. Harry could not beat them up any more then they were beating themselves up for they didn't think they could have forgiven themselves. Signing the contract and not giving Harry a choice, and then not telling him for a year, they had done everything wrong. They had thought that they were doing what was right and perhaps they had been in the long run, for everyone else but Harry that is. They just wanted to have some relationship with their son, it was the reason they had invited him to the ultrasound the next morning.
Really they had not been surprised when he had refused to come, even if Severus had not warned them before hand. But they had not wanted Harry to believe there was something else that they were keeping from him. They wanted him to know he was a wanted part of this and even if he never accepted they would invite him to everything including when the baby was born a few weeks before Harry's seventeenth birthday. But they had been shocked when they had received a letter from their son and a stuffed elephant that morning. The letter had simply told them that no matter how much pain they caused him and not willing to forgive them yet, he loved his dads and their baby was his brother or sister. He wasn't sure he could ever let them back into his life but he couldn't get them or the baby out of his heart and he didn't want to either. He had seen the elephant when he was away with his husband. Remus was looking at the little elephant perched on the edge of the couch.
Sirius was about to say something when the floo flared to life and they were shocked when Harry came stumbling out of the floo shaking and crying. He collapsed to the floor in a sobbing mess. The floo network for the house was still heavily warded and you needed a password to come through unless invited, a password that Harry had of course known for they had never changed it.
Sirius sunk down onto the floor next to Harry. "Cub, what happened? What happened to you?"
Harry just curled up in a tiny ball sobbing over and over again. "No." Was all they could hear.
Sirius managed to get his arms around his son and scoop him off the floor and carried him out of the library and towards his old bedroom. It had not changed since the last time he had been home. Remus did not follow his husband though. He had a sinking feeling what was going on or who it had to do with and he placed a floo call through to Severus' apartments at school hoping he might know what was happening.
Severus went pale when he heard. "Harry ran into Lucius with Blaise and Lucius decided he needed to take him off to London. He looked terrified when he left."
Remus sighed. "He won't talk, he is practically catatonic and he was in a dressing robe and boxers. Could you send me some calming potions, I don't have any...."
Shaking his head Severus told him he would come himself for he was worried about Harry and wanted to check on him. Remus had a feeling that Grimmauld would not be the man's only stop in London and he was grateful for it. It had not gone unnoticed from his talks with Severus that Harry had grown extremely close to him and had come to rely on him. Sirius would not admit it but he was a bit jealous of how close Harry had been growing to Severus who was starting to fill the paternal role in his life but after what they had put their son through Remus was just grateful that he had someone.
After giving Severus the password so that he could come through once he had potions Remus headed for his son. He was grateful that the floo had been opened since the war, for the school. Like Grimmauld if you knew the required passwords you could access certain fireplaces in and out.
Sirius looked up relieved when he told his husband Severus was coming. "I can't get him to say anything but no, over and over again and Luc. I wish we had a potion."
Remus sunk down onto the bed where his son was curled up on his side crying and pulled away when he tried to touch him. "You're safe here cub, I promise you."
The door opened and they were surprised to find Draco had come with Severus but they were reminded that Draco was not only Harry's stepson but they had become extremely close friends as well. Draco looked the same as his godfather at that point. They were both a mixture of scared for Harry and ready to tear Lucius apart. They knew that both of them would be heading for the townhouse as soon as they had seen to Harry.
Sirius moved so Severus could sink down and watched in amazement as Harry calmed slightly around him and allowed him to feed him a calming draught. Draco was extremely pale and wanting to know as much as the others what had happened.
Harry was finally on his back and though still pale and crying he had calmed. "What are you doing here Sev?"
Severus smirked. "The better question is what are you doing here Harry? You had both us and Blaise worried and then you show up here like this."
It took quite a bit of coaxing but Harry explained his husband dragging him to London and demanding to know what he had been doing and when Lucius left he had gone to see his brother. His husband when he got had accused him of cheating on him. Harry refused to tell them what had happened but from the fact Harry was in nothing but boxers they knew what Lucius must have done to put Harry into such a state. Severus could not believe that his brother would do this to Harry. Lucius was an asshole a lot of the times and had handled this marriage badly but even with Narcissa he would not have gone this far. He knew it was a lot to do with the fact that Lucius actually cared about Harry and was attracted to him and that unlike Narcissa he was taking it personally.
Kreacher appeared. "Mr George Weasley be calling, he be saying Master Lord Malfoy be coming to his shop looking for his husband. School elf be saying so too."
Harry was trembling. "Please don't send me back. Please I can't go back there. I can't go back there."
Both of his dads tried to sooth and calm him. They were not sure what they could do for technically Harry was his husband but they were not about to send him back there. Severus thought they would look into putting Harry in the dorms or he could com stay with him at school for a time, but right now Harry had to calm down and feel safe and no one was going to force him to go any where even just back to school. Harry's dads were relieved he had come to them.
Severus stood. "I am going to go and find Lucius. If he thinks he can do this to his husband......."
