Three months later…
Harry had some lasting damage from the Cruciatus curse, he ended up with a limp from nerve damage. The healer had told them that it could take some years before he is able to walk normally and without pain. Narcissia was in tears as he held her son as she listen to the long list of potion he will have to take every day until the shakes stop and the pain recedes. Lucius went out and asked Severus to brew the positions.
The potion master looked at him as he came though the fire place and stood there rubbing his eyes "What did the Healer say?" Severus asked,
"He will need a lot of potions to help with the damage from the Cruciatus, I'm going out in a bit to get him a cane it should help take the pressure of his leg." He told him as he took a seat
"Potion list." The dark haired man asked, Lucius reached into his pocket and pulled out the fold parchment and held it up to him
"Are the potions right?" He asked,
"Your healer is the best money can buy, the Dark Lord wouldn't have sent him if he didn't think the man was capable of his job?" The potion master told him as he looked though the list and then nodded his to the side "However I think you might be right." He told him. The blonde looked up at him
"Why what's he done?" He asked
"I think it's rather what our lord is paying him to do, this pain potion it can make a person additive to it and it doesn't work to well, and he would be pain free for an hour at best. Ah this one won't help him heal."
"What does it do?" Lucius asked as he felt his nails embed themselves into arms the plush leather chair. The potion master wasn't sure he should say but he couldn't go back on his words
"It will increases the chances of him getting pregnant."
"WHAT!" The blonde screeched as he stood up and looked at him "HOW DARE HE GO BACK ON HIS WORD!"
Severus sighed and turned to get some drinks for them for them and then sat down as he shoved the drink into the blonde's arms "Has anything affected his Fae side?" Snape asked as he watched the man take a mouthful of his drink before sitting down once again
"He keeps going to Draco for comfort, they are already dangerously close for brothers. I am calling in a Fae healer to come and have a look."
"It's normal for Fae child to seek comfort from a sibling." Severus said,
"Yes however Draco isn't Fae is he? He wouldn't understand what Harry needs and if Draco's feelings cross those boundaries it will hurt them both." Severus was quiet as he thought as he sipped his drink
"Why did you let him do that to Harry, you told us all that the ritual will have to continue without the boy?" He asked. The blonde groaned and took another mouthful of his drink
"It seem that Barty decide that I was too soft." He mumbled
"Wait Barty? Wasn't he who wanted to court Harry at one point." he asked
"Yep."
Later on….
Lucius sat in his offices taking the memories of what happen before he used the time tuner out and placing them into large around glass ball. When he heard a knock on his door "Enter." He called out, the door open as he turned to see Harry hobble into the room "Harry." The blonde whispered, with a soft smile as he watched the boy smile at him as he moved into the room and sat down on the plush chair. He looked up at his father slightly panting as he watched for the blonde move to the chair next to him
"Dad sit." Harry said, nodded Lucius sat next to his on and watched him seeing his hands tremble
"How are you feeling?" Lucius asked
"Tried, and in some pain without a potion." He said as he watched the blonde look at him with a sad look "Why did it take you so long to stop him?" Harry whispered to him. The older man stiffen as he looked at his on before sighed as he looked down to his hands "Dad why was I there?"
He felt old, older than he had felt in years how does he explain why he didn't step in until their Lord started to touch him up. He closed his eyes and sided his chest ached as he looked to those killer green orbs seeing the innocent look of a child sat before him. He smiled weakly and leaned forward taking his son's hands into own and kissed the hands "I'm sorry you were hurt Harry, I was shocked to see you there that is why I was stunt." He told him. Harry looked at him and searched Lucius eyes before he lowered his head
"Okay dad, I don't believe you're telling me the whole story, but I will let it slide for now." He said as he stood up. The blonde looked at him with wide eyes as he watched the boy hobble out the room
"Harry." The boy looked back at him and smiled weakly
"Its okay dad really it is." Then he left the room. Lucius groans and runs his hand down the front of his face.
It wasn't long after Harry left that he got the fire call from Severus to tell him that the first half of Harry's potion were ready. Lucius fell though the fire place and then stood up dusting himself as he looked at the potion master who was eyeing him up and down. "You have been drinking." The dark haired man said as he caught the tried look on his friend's face "Is Narcissia still making you sleep in the spare room?" He asked
"I need to tell you something, this has been eating away at him for 3 months and I can't tell Narcissia or the boys they will hate me more than they already do" The long nose potion master hummed as he waved his hand at the chairs by the fire place before walking over to a cabinet and filled to glasses up with some red looking drink
"This drink was brewed by a couple of boys from the 5th year, I rather enjoyed it." He told the blonde as he set the glass down in front of him.
Sitting down Severus looked at Lucius as he sipped the drink and sighing as he felt the warm liquid sooth his insides "It's good." He whispered to the man "I used my father's time tuner to change the past." He told him. The potion master choked on his drink and looked at him
"What?"
"I had to…" Lucius closed his eyed and leaned back and looked into the fire "The grave yard, the first time round I did nothing and I let our Lord rape my son in front me and the others. He then took my son away and kept him locked up in his home calling him his queen. 3 years dragged and Harry hated me, hated his mother and Draco. His mind was poisoned not just by the Dark Lord's words but by my own actions. Then there was an odd conversation I had with the Dark Lord where he told me that if I said stop to him and stepped in the way I could have saved my son." He said
"I can see why you went back to fix it." Snape said as he sighed and sipped his drink "But you of all people should know how dangerous it is to change time."
"I know but I need to save my son Severus you may hate Harry's birth mother but he is still my son and I should have saved him the first time. I will never forgot his screams and that look of hate…"
"You saved him now."
"Have I? Voldemort still wants Harry as his queen."
Next day…
Draco walked into his little brother's bed room where he found the dark haired teen staring at a pretty box on the bed "Is that whimpering I hear?" The blonde asked with frown. Green eyes looked up at his brother with worried look on his face
"He sent me a gift." Harry said, his voice was shaking as the blonde walked over to him and climbed onto the bed. Shifting himself around and looked down to see a puppy in the box
"He sent you a puppy?"
"A wolf cub." Harry whispered, Draco looked at the dark haired boy and saw the worry and fear on his face
"What's wrong Raven?" He whispered to him
"He sent it Dragon. O…Our Lord the man who tried to… he wants to court me but I don't know how I can take this after what he's done." He was shaking as the puppy kept whimpering and moving around the box. Draco warped his arms around Harry and held him
"Shhh Raven you don't have to take the gift." He whispered as he watched the boy reach out and touch the fluffy puppy's head and watched it lick his fingers "But could you say no to that cute face?" Draco smiled as he saw Harry smile at the playful pup.
"But if I accept the gift wouldn't mean I'm agreeing to his courtship?" He whispered in fear, before he got off the bed and hobbled over to the desk and cried as he wiped his eyes "I can't get out of it can I?" he whispered.
Draco picked up the puppy and placed it on the ground before he walked over to his brother and rubbed his back "All I know is he is The Dark Lord, you have time to decide if you want him to court you." He whispered, Harry frowned as he watched the husky pup pad up to them and tilted his head "Have a word with father and if all else fails we will run away together." Harry chuckled weakly as he looked up at his half brother
"Father would love that." He told the blonde, who smiled brightly at him seeing the happyish looked on the dark haired teen's face
"Well I would make a pretty awesome husband as I know what you like." Harry rolled his eyes and scoped up the puppy and looked back at his brother
"Just one little problem brother darling." Harry told him with all the dullness of a bludger's bat, Draco just smiled and kissed Harry's cheek
"Yeah I know. Just talk to father." He whispered before he left the bed room.
