Lucius could not believe this was happening, he knew his husband had been upset but he had never in a hundred years would have believed that Harry would have attempted suicide. He had no idea what was in the bottle but he could see that Harry was slowly slipping further and further away and he wasn't sure what to do and had no idea what Harry had even taken for he looked at the bottle and could not tell what it was. He could see the it was not labelled which meant his husband had snagged it from the lab when Severus had not been looking and he wondered if Harry had even known what ht was taking or had just grabbed something. He had picked his husband up and carried him to bed and had his hand on Harry's pulse which was racy ay best and his breathing seemed to be slowing even more. He had sent for Severus and he desperately prayed his friend would get here soon. He had been a jack ass but he had never thought he would push Harry this far.
Severus came bursting into the room and his brother looked ready to rip him apart and he doubted that it would wait too long but Severus sunk down onto the bed next to Harry and Draco had come into the room with him. Lucius handed him the bottle and told him how he had found Harry. Severus ran a diagnostic on the bottle and went stark white when he realized what it was.
Severus summoned several bottles. "Your husband took an extra strength pain reliever."
Lucius watched him feeding Harry two of the bottles and watched as his husband was turned on his side. "What are you doing? I don't get this."
As Severus performed a spell which would act with the potions like a muggle stomach pump, and Harry began expelling the potion, that the pain reliever was only used in tiny amounts. A tablespoon, two perhaps, at a time would have been used. Harry had drunk an entire bottle, over ten times the normal amount. If Lucius had not found him and had got Severus there he would have been dead in ten minutes. Harry was lucky he had not been in the bath when he had taken it for he would have gone under and would have drowned for he would never have woken up.
Lucius was pacing as he watched Severus going to work on his husband, finally expelling all o the potion he could with the help of the other two. The third bottle he summoned had been a sleeping draught and he fed it to Harry. Lucius was shocked when he saw his brother use what looked like a muggle oxygen mask.
Severus looked at Draco. "Go to my rooms and use the floo powder there to summon Harry's dads and tell them he needs his dads here now."
Draco nodded and before he could be stopped by his dad headed for the door. "I will."
Lucius was not sure what to do but he definitely didn't think bringing the wolf and the dog here was the smartest idea. He would have enough to deal with. He had no doubt that Severus would of course blame him for this and would want to hex him into the next day. And his son would likely be thinking the same thing. The last thing that he needed was to have Harry's dads here breathing down his neck as well.
Severus knew what his brother was thinking and he in fact was thinking of hexing him but right now his main concern was Harry. He was shaken to the core, thinking Harry always as being so strong and having never thought even Lucius would drive him this far. He had hoped Harry could hold on until he could knock sense into Lucius but he had been wrong and it had nearly killed Harry.
He looked at Lucius. "Your husband just tried to kill himself because he couldn't take this marriage any more. He is going to need his dads here, this is about him."
Lucius punched a wall. "I know he did not like being on a leash but it was only for a time. I don't get why he did this."
Severus punched his brother hard, having no idea what else to do, he needed to get it out. This was a young man who had been beaten, starved and raped from a young age by his Uncle and then had been forced into an arranged marriage with a man who treated him like chattel instead of as a human being. Harry had finally come to see him as human and then the rumours spread and his husband had not just sunk back but gone further.
He pointed at the boy in bed. "He goes to class and hears the whispers and taunts, and comes home to be locked up, isolated, even from Draco. And you groping him."
Lucius shook his head. "All he has said in weeks is yes master or no master. He was like this on our wedding night but not since. I don't get why so suddenly."
Every human being had a breaking point Severus reminded his brother, even someone who seemed as strong as Harry was. Every human had a point where they could not take any more of the pain and abuse and had to do something. Some people did as Severus had, become cold and distant, only a few things bringing him from his shell including that boy lying in there. And some people gave up on life as Harry had just done. It had become too much and in desperation feeling like there was no end to what his husband was putting him through, had attempted to end it.
As they were talking Draco appeared with Harry's dads and from their looks of anger and pain and fear he knew they had been told. Sirius looked ready to tear him to pieces but Remus steered his husband into the bedroom where their son was sleeping.
Remus bent down and kissed his son on the head. "Oh cub, I'm sorry sweet heart. I'm so sorry. I will never forgive myself for doing this to you. Never."
Lucius came towards the bed. "This us not your fault, I'm the one who put him in this bed. But I swear to Merlin I will do anything when he wakes, to make it better."
There was not one person in the room who did not feel guilt, even Severus and Draco who felt guilty that they had not done anything sooner. His dads knew that they had done this, they had forced him into an arranged marriage, and they had not even told him about the contact. He would have agreed to the contract if he had known about it or may have been less hurt if he knew right away, and he would have had someone to talk to, someone to lean on. He had Severus and Draco but they had been unable to make it better for him and in desperation he had seen no other way out.
Lucius knew he had to do something; he had to make this better for Harry. He would remove all restrictions; he would stop touching Harry, anything at all. He cared about Harry and he had treated him as a possession. He had cared more about his reputation then he had about the young man who he was bonded to. He had the most amazing young husband and he had taken him for granted. If Harry didn't recover from this Lucius would hex himself, he wouldn't need the others to do it for him.
Severus sighed. "Physically he will be fine in a few days but mentally.....Harry needs help. He will do this again unless we get him some serious help finally."
