Take A Bow by Glee cast

Chapter 9

Lucius blinks, holding onto the thing beside him, which happens to be Rodolphus.

Rodolphus: "Lucius, are you okay?"

Lucius: "Yeah, give me a moment."

Harden runs in after feeling the energy of Lucius's magic run through the Manor.

Lucius: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Harden: "Lucius, what happened? Are you okay?"

Lucius: "I was dizzy and felt faint, then I felt better after a moment."

Abraxas comes in. "Son?"

Harden: "The baby is drawing on your magic, creating its own. You're okay. I was worried."

Lucius looks at him. "That's what happened?"

Harden: "Yes, baby, it is. I did the same thing."

Rodolphus: "So did I. I should have noticed. How do you feel, Lucius?"

Lucius: "Better, actually. I don't feel sick."

Harden: "That's good. How does your back feel?"

Lucius: "Actually better."

Abraxas: "That's good. Your body adjusted to the baby."

Lucius smiles. "My son," he whispers.

Harden: "Me and your father are going out for a bit. Will you two be okay?"

Rodolphus: "We will. I'll keep watch."

Lucius: "Love you guys."

Rodolphus: "Let's go in the gardens, shall we, Lucy?"

Lucius: "Yeah, let's go. I'm feeling bored being inside." He pats his belly affectionately.

Rod laughs. "Let's go."

They walk outside to see four people standing by the door, stuck in place due to the wards.

Rodolphus: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Lucius: "Call Tom," he mumbles. "Send a message to him, hurry. They don't look friendly. I think they're Severus's group," he mumbles. He sets off the security wards, alerting his parents.

The four start yelling and trying to throw curses at him, but Tom shows up before his parents and silences them, getting them in a bind so they can't move. Abraxas and Harden pop in.

Harden: "Lucius, what's wrong?" he asks frantically before he sees the four and his father.

Rodolphus: "They're the group Severus ran with. They did things to Lucius I can't even say."

Harden looks sharp. "What did they do?" he growls.

Lucius: "They…um, hurt me a lot. They're the reason I was sick last break. They did it with me by forcing it. I didn't want it," he cries.

Abraxas loses it. "You did what?" he growls at the four.

Before anyone could do anything, Tom's people showed up, all bowing to him.

"My lord."

Tom: "Take out the trash. Make sure the light knows not to mess with my family."

Harden whispers, "Father, Death Eaters, are they gonna die tonight?"

Tom nods.

Abraxas doesn't say anything, a silent support for Voldemort.
