Chapter 8: Of someone close to you leaving the game of life


It was one of those beautiful days that made you think everything was going to be okay. It was a beautiful November day and the leaves were turning beautiful shades of red, orange, yellow, brown and purple before they were either blew off the branches to which they so precariously clung and fell to the ground creating a beautiful carpet. A carpet that crunched and crackled as you walked along it. I had spent my morning doing just that.

Sev was busy making potions which on occasion stunk up the house and with me still fighting back nausea every morning it was not a good thing. So I decided to take a walk and of course Lucius insisted he had to go. He always seemed aloof around others and yet around me and Sev he seemed to let a part of him hidden to others show and shine like the sun, especially as of late. He seemed happier even though we seemed to be in the most danger. If Voldemort discovered we were living happily playing house and talking of children and how to arrange a baby room I am certain he would kill us all. In truth, I didn't care. This is the happiest I have felt in over six years.

As we walked we chatted idly.

"I suppose I'll have to wait for Auror training. I can't very go off to training preggers. I wasn't planning on returning to school this year even if it was open for students so that was out of the question to begin with but I feel bored and restless without something."

Lucius gave a sound of acknowledgement and then cleared his throat, "You could get some basic training and look into ways of finishing 'him' off. Sev and I have nothing to do asides from keeping an eye on you, occasionally reporting to Voldemort and just our everyday mundane chores so we could help you."

I smiled, "That sounds like a good plan to me. Better than anything I've come up with thus far."

"You should also look into having some of the others coming over and tutoring you. I think Lupin, Professor McGonagall, and your good friends Granger and Weasley Jr. would all be willing to assist as well."

I started scuffling my feet as we walked. I had forgotten about them. I hadn't 'forgotten' forgotten but they just slipped from my mind. It's been close to two months since we've really talked and who can blame them with what happened last time. They might have thought I was asleep or unconscious, but the whole conversation is locked inside my memory. I still fear what their expressions will hold. Will it be contempt, pity or a mix of both? It could be hatred or even disgust or possibly even my worst fear; love and acceptance. Why do I fear those two emotions? Because that would make me a total prat for thinking the worse of my friends and peers. But perhaps...just perhaps...they might understand and forgive me.

"I believe your right, though I hate to admit it."

He smiled and puffed out his chest and held his head just a little higher in that old Malfoy manner that said "I am king of the world" as he said in a joking tone, "Of course I am. Malfoys are never wrong."

I laughed at that and then my stomach growling interrupted our laughter only momentarily before we laughed even harder and turned around making our way back to the house.

Upon entering the house we noticed the familiar smell of brewing potions was gone and the house was filled with happily chatting voices.

"I think I just heard the front door open. I bet its Harry", called an all too familiar feminine voice.

Just then I was greeted by none other then Hermione Granger, "Harry!"

She ran up and wrapped her arms around me squeezing me tightly and I couldn't help but return the hug and show how much I had missed her. She pushed me away at arms length and began to carefully look me over in an assessing gaze before she finally smiled and pulled me back into a hug once again.

"You look good Harry. If I didn't know any better I'd say that these two are making sure your well fed and clothed. But then again I know for certain they are. Ron and I have actually been chatting with Professor Snape. Chatting! Something or someone has definitely helped mellow him out."

I laughed, "Don't go giving me all the credit Hermione."

"Give credit where credits due", said the luscious voice of Lucius from behind us.

Hermione grinned at that and stared at me with an uppity know it all look that only she could do, "So back on the subject of you Mr. How have you been?"

Ron walked into the room followed by Sev and both seemed to be smiling. I never thought I'd see the day when both Ron and Sev would be smiling in the same room let alone each others company. Oh the miracles this day has brought.

"You’re looking good Harry. Mom was so worried you'd look like you were wasting away and has been fretting all this time. If you don't visit some time soon she’s liable to rush over here with all the food she can carry and start fattening you up."

"Hello Ron!" I said cheerfully as I gave him a hearty hug, "How is everyone at the burrow?"

"We're all fine. Ginny was awfully worried about you and it took her a few days to confess to what was bothering her but after she heard you were doing better she finally started to give herself some slack."

"It's not her fault and you need to tell her that. I would tell her but I doubt she would believe me. I think she blames herself for allot of what’s happened."

"We told her you'd say just that and I still don't think she believes us. She should come over and visit you and see that smile you walked in with, she'd believe after that."

I laughed at that comment and felt my cheeks warm slightly, "So how is Remus and the rest of your family?"

I walked over to the couch and sat down followed by Ron and Hermione, "Well Bill and Fleur are married now and expecting their first already. She'll be due in March. Both Bill and she were awfully surprised to hear that they're having twins. Bill actually fainted! You should have seen it mate! Oh! And Charlie’s seeing yet another bloke. He goes through blokes faster than Fred and George go through people to experiment on. Speaking of those two...they're doing real well business wise and they send their regards. Percy's still being a bit of a prat but he did stop in and see Mom for a bit. Oh! Dad got promoted. He's moving up the ranks and everyone’s saying that one day he'll make Minister of Magic. I think I've covered it all mate."

"I don't know...what can you tell me about that ring on Hermione's finger?" I asked grinning.

To my amusement Ron turned a few shades past pink and right into red. He looked over at Hermione who was sitting next to me and she too was an interesting shade of bright pink. Both had large embarrassed smiles.

"Well...after that whole fiasco with being captured and such I decided it was finally time to...you know, pop the question."

"Mom was ecstatic and wouldn't leave us alone for a month afterwards", said Hermione smiling and shaking her head.

"Congratulations! Both of you! And from me and Merlin knows the rest of our friends, about bloody time!"

We all laughed and then two pairs of eyes turned to look around the room before turning to look at me.

"So what about you mate?"

"What about me?"

"Mom says those two are awfully over protective of you and Remus says he's never seen Sev so flustered before. Not to mention Lucius is spending more time with you than he had ever spent with Narcissa."

"I'm not getting what you’re trying to say."

"What Ron wants to know is, if there’s a bonding ceremony in your future as well."

I thought about it for a moment and tried to imagine being bonded and pregnant. The thought was weird and a little funny but not unwelcome. We had discussed a loose version of such plans but very loose almost jokingly. Besides, Lucius was still technically married to Narcissa. Although he said it wasn't a very happy one. Apparently their marriage had been one of convenience, influence and power and was set up by their parents. They hadn't even slept in the same bed that often. Lucius had told me he and Sev had been friend’s years before and when both had met again in the Order they began a relationship that went no farther than casual sex and chit chat.

Perhaps I could be a bridge. Perhaps I could have both of them. I could bridge the gap between the two of them and also have what I wanted.

"We'll see. I'm in no big hurry."

"No big hurry? Mate, you're going to have a baby."

"I don't need to be married to provide for a baby Ron. I have plenty of money stored away and Lucius has already said that he'll be there if I need anything.""Lucius? Is he the father?"

I turned to look at Hermione and nodded. She smiled brightly and looked at Ron.

"Told you Ron! We had bets on who the father was."

"So how far along are you Harry?" asked Ron curiously.

"I'm only two months", I answered.

"You have plenty of time", said Hermione.

"Speaking of time...we'd better be going Harry. Fire call us sometime and we'll set up a dinner visit so mom can put her mind at ease."

I laughed and nodded and then watched both aparate away. No sooner than they had left that the afternoon mail delivery owls flew in. Hedwig flew in and landed on my shoulder pecking at my ear affectionately. Attached to her leg was a letter from Professor McGonagall which I took and then set aside before giving Hedwig a well deserved treat and scratch behind her downy white head. She hooted and flew to her cage upstairs. Four more owls flew in and stopped in front of me. One was the usual brown owl for delivered the newspaper; one was a beautiful white barn owl, another a great horned owl and the last was a pigmy owl.

"Sev! Lucius! The Owls have arrived!"

I watched as they walked into the room and sat down on the couch so that I was between them. The beautiful barn owl hopped over to Lucius and extended her leg. I smiled and gave the newspaper owl a treat and then handed him a big filled with a few coins for next month’s deliveries. He hooted and flew off. Lucius had taken the note from the barn owl and I once again offered him a treat before he too flew off. Sev took a note from the pigmy owl and it fluttered crazily around the room before flying off and the last owl stared at all three of us before finally extending its leg to me. I blinked and laughed before taking the rolled parchment from his foot and offered him his treat.

"The only reason he chose you is because you insist on spoiling them with treats", said Sev with an indignant grunt.

The great horned owl turned his golden eyes to Sev before ruffling his feathers and hooting at him. He then took to the air. I laughed again as I looked at the parchment and saw Lucius' name. I handed it to him and watched as he opened it. His serene features turned surprised and then slightly sorrowful before he handed the parchment to Sev. Sev read silently before he too had a surprised and saddened look on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"Narcissa has been killed", said Lucius as he stood and paced the room.

"It seems as though Voldemort is sending his message. He knew we were spies to begin with Lucius and now he's just flaunting it."

"What about Draco? You should go see him! He's going to need you."

Both men looked at me stunned before they recovered themselves.

"It's not a good idea. Splitting up is a dangerous and I don't want to leave you here without the extra protection."

"Sev's here! Plus we can call the Weasley's or Remus or anyone else from the order."

Lucius looked at me for a second and then sat down, "We could...but Harry I really don't want to be away from you. It's not safe especially with Voldemort flaunting his power by killing those close to us."

"Then bring him here! Just make sure he's with you! He needs you. He's just lost his mother and he's also in danger."

Lucius leaned over and placed a chaste kiss on my lips, "Your right. Are you sure?"

"Draco and I have never gotten along but I am willing to do anything to make sure he’s safe and you’re happy."
Both men smiled at me and then Lucius left the living room and went upstairs. I knew he needed to fire call Draco in private. He had a lot of explaining to do and Merlin only knew what the conversation would be. I only hoped that I could get along with Draco and that he wouldn't have to big of a heart attack when he hears I'm carrying a Malfoy.
