Chapter 13

\"Mr. Malfoy, please remain after class.\" Professor McGonagall had a message for the blonde from Dumbledore. But before she did that, she fully intended to get some answers of her own. Harry had disappeared before she had gotten to the infirmary, and no one had given her any news. Poppy had already left to speak to the headmaster, and Draco had already gone to lunch.

\"Yes, Professor.\" Draco had been worried all day. Ever since Harry had left, even if it had only been three hours ago, he had felt slightly disoriented.

As soon as the last student had cleared the door, Minerva rounded on Draco. \"What exactly happened yesterday? All Poppy told me was that Harry came into the infirmary crying and asking for me, and that Lucius\' absence had affected him more drastically than she thought it would. Where is Harry?\"

\"Father gave Harry a necklace for Christmas that had an emergency portkey. When Madame Pomphrey mentioned that my father should have already been there, I got worried. I made Harry activate the portkey to send him to Father. He firecalled almost immediately asking Pomprey to help because Father was barely breathing. When she got back, she said he had suffered from not having physical contact with Harry,\" explained Draco. He hadn\'t realized that Professor McGonagall had such a close relationship with his lover. \"Professor? Why would Harry ask for you like that?\"

\"Harry and I have gotten close. He\'s practically my grandson, and I imagine with the state he was in, he needed a motherly, or grandmotherly in my case, presence to soothe him,\" she said. \"Oh, and one more thing. I have a message from the headmaster. He would like you to come to his office directly after your last class.\"

\"Yes, Professor.\" Draco nodded to McGonagall and rushed to his Arithmancy class. He hoped Dumbledore had a better solution to their situation than his previous idea.

\"Luc?\" Harry was wondering around the Manor trying to find the blonde. When he awoke, Lucius was already gone. Harry decided to try the library again because that is one of Lucius\' favourite rooms. He poked his head around the door, but didn\'t see any sign of the missing Lucius. \"Bugger. I can\'t believe he just left like that.\" He continued to mutter to himself in annoyance.

Harry was starting to wish he were back at school. At least there, he could talk to his friends and Draco. Danger was still there, too. With thought in mind, he sat up abruptly. \"Oh no. How could I have forgotten about Danger. He is gonna be so mad at me for leaving him like that.\" The irony of that comment didn\'t escape him at all.

After an hour of no Lucius, Harry started eyeing the fireplace speculatively. Since Lucius obviously didn\'t feel the need to be around him, maybe he should just go back to school. The more he gazed at the fireplace, the more appeal the idea had. He finally decided that was the best option. He walked to the fireplace, grabbed a handful of floo powder, and tossed it into the flames. \"Hogwarts Infirmary,\" he shouted, and stepped through the flames.

*****

Lucius walked down Diagon Alley, making his way to the jewelry store. Having Harry back in his arms made Lucius realize just how much the brunette had come to mean to him. He decided then that he would do everything in his power to keep Harry with him and happy. All he needed to now was to find the perfect ring to propose a formal bonding.

He walked into the store and immediately perused the rings on display. None of the rings he saw were worthy of Harry. He waved the clerk over and asked, \"Do you have any rings with emeralds? I would prefer rare cut gems.\"

\"Yes, sir.\" The clerk went into the back for a moment, and came back carrying a small tray. He set the tray in front of Lucius and stepped back.

Lucius examined every ring, and dismissed them, until he got to the last ring on the tray. This ring had a band of white gold with a cat\'s eye emerald inset. The emerald had an unfocused look until the light hit just right, and a vivid band streaked through the stone causing it to look like a cat\'s eye. \"I want this one. Here\'s my account information, just have it drawn straight out.\"

He waited impatiently for the transaction to be completed. He couldn\'t wait to get back to the Manor to surprise Harry.

*****

\"Harry! What are you doing here?\" Poppy had heard the swoosh of flames and came to inspect the cause. She almost fell over in shock when she saw Harry stepping away from the fireplace. \"You should be with Lucius. He almost died, and you weren\'t much better off, or don\'t you remember?\"

\"I remember just fine. It\'s Lucius that seems to have forgotten. He ran off and left me there in that huge mansion alone. I decided to come spend time with my friends, and to get Danger.\" Harry just calmly dusted the ashes and soot off his clothes while delivering his explanation.

\"Danger?\" she asked. She was more inclined to laugh at Harry, right then, than to worry about him. He had pouted during his entire tirade about Lucius\' perceived abandonment.

\"My pet kneazle. He\'s just a kitten. He misses me when I\'m gone too long,\" he said. \"I think I\'ll go get him, and then find Hermione so that I can get all the notes I missed yesterday.\"

\"While I\'m glad that you\'re looking better today, I must say that I don\'t think you should have come back so soon,\" she said.

\"I know, but I don\'t like being in that place completely alone. It\'s creepy. If you should hear from my erstwhile mate, be sure to tell him I\'m quite safe with Draco,\" he said a tad spitefully.

*****

Shortly after Harry\'s departure from the infirmary, Poppy firecalled the headmaster. The headmaster\'s head appeared in the flames, and she saw Draco Malfoy sitting in the background. \"Albus, Harry just flooed into the infirmary.\"

Draco stood up and stormed to the fireplace. \"What? Why is he back at school? What about Father?\"

\"Well, apparently, your father is doing just fine because he left Harry at the Manor alone. Harry didn\'t like staying there by himself, so he came to visit his friend and to get his kitten,\" said Poppy. \"Draco, I hope you\'re not angry with Harry. He didn\'t leave out of spite or cruelty. He was hurt because he sees Lucius\' absence, an abandonment, especially after Lucius nearly died from prolonged absences.\"

\"I think I need to find Harry. We\'ll talk after I find out what\'s going on, headmaster.\" Draco barely waited for the nod of acknowledgement from Dumbledore before storming out of the office.

Draco didn\'t have to look very far. He rounded the corner and saw Harry walking with Hermione and petting Danger. \"Harry James Potter! What do you think you\'re doing here?\"

\"Draco!\" said Hermione, shielding the brunette with her body.

\"Hermione, get out of the way. It\'s not like I\'m going to hurt him. I just want to know why he left the Manor so soon after Father nearly died,\" he said reasonably, trying to move Hermione out of the way.

*****

Lucius had finally gotten back to the Manor. His shopping excursion had taken most of the day. The jewelery shop was only one of many stops for the day. He walked into the library hoping to see Harry, and was met with silence. \"Harry?\" He turned when he heard the pop of a house elf.

\"Master Harry went back to Hogwarts. He seemed upset when he left, Master Malfoy,\" said Twinkly.

\"Why was he upset? What happened?\" asked Lucius worriedly.

\"He was upset because he couldn\'t find you. He searched for at least an hour, and waited an hour more before leaving,\" said Twinkle.

\"Well it looks like I\'m making an unscheduled trip to Hogwarts.\" He stalked over to the fireplace and was gone within minutes. Lucius stepped out of the fireplace in the headmaster\'s office.

Dumbledore didn\'t even look surprised at his appearance. \"Lucius, you look well to have been on death\'s door just yesterday.\"

\"What can I say? Harry\'s good for me,\" said Lucius. \"Speaking of which, where is he?\"

\"He came to visit his friends and Draco. Poppy also mentioned something about his kitten,\" said Dumbledore calmly.

\"Good day then. I really must find Harry immediately.\" Not even giving Dumbledore a chance to speak, Lucius swept from the office.

*****

\"I\'m waiting, Harry,\" said Draco, after several minutes with no response.

\"Draco, he was gone when I woke up this morning. He nearly died yesterday, but he couldn\'t wait to leave me just the next day. I searched for an hour, and waited for an hour, and I finally just couldn\'t stand being in that huge place by myself. I missed Danger,\" said Harry softly, trying not to cry. He couldn\'t help but feel hurt that Lucius had left him so soon. He didn\'t know why it hurt so much; he was never that clingy before. It was usually Draco or Lucius who initiated all contact.

\"Harry, I\'m sure he didn\'t abandon you. He must have had an important reason for not being there,\" said Draco soothingly. He pulled Harry into a hug, rubbing his back. He closed his eyes and tightened his arms when Harry nestled deeper into the embrace.

\"You\'re damn right I did,\" said Lucius, standing right behind them. \"Harry, there is no way I would abandon you.\" Lucius looked around the corridor, noticed Hermione standing to the side, and ushered Harry and Draco towards their room. \"We have private matters to discuss. Good day, Miss Granger.\"

Reaching the room, Lucius pushed Harry and Draco inside, and slammed the door. He turned to look at Harry and pulled him over to the couch and pushed him down on it. He knelt in front of the brunette and tenderly stroked his finger down his cheek. \"Harry, in the short time you\'ve been with Draco and me, I have come to love you dearly. I\'m sure Draco would say the same,\" he said, looking over at his son. Draco nodded and sat beside Harry before picking up his hand and kissing it. \"The reason I wasn\'t at home when you woke up this morning because I had to get something from Diagon Alley.\"

Lucius took a deep breath and pulled the ring box from his pocket. He opened the box and said, \"Harry, love, will you bond formally with me, and Draco, of course?\"

Harry sat in stunned silence for a moment. He looked at Lucius, searching his eyes frantically and seeing only love, before doing the same to Draco. When he was certain that this is what they both truly desired, he squealed with joy and threw his arms around Lucius. \"Yes! I love you both so much and I would be very happy to bond with you.\" He gave Lucius a joyful kissed, and then turned to Draco. \"You really want to bond with me?\" When Draco nodded, Harry cupped his face and gave him a slow, deep kiss. \"I\'d love to.\"

Lucius pulled the ring from the box and gently placed it on Harry\'s left hand. It immediately resized to fit his finger and Harry just stared at it with awe. He lifted his hand and moved it under the light. He gasped when the light showed the cat\'s eye in the emerald. \"Luc, it\'s beautiful. Thank you.\"

\"You\'re very welcome, love.\" Lucius pulled Harry off the couch and led him to the bedroom, leaving Draco to follow. He quickly stripped Harry of his clothes, and then stripped his own.

Draco pulled off his clothes and stepped behind Harry. He licked the shell of the delicate ear and breathed, \"My beautiful love,\" before nibbling on the earlobe. He kissed and nipped a path down the slender throat, stopping at the curve between neck and shoulder. Harry moaned at the stimulation to that sensitive area and pushed back into Draco.

Lucius nibbled on Harry\'s bottom lip before sweeping his tongue inside to explore the depths of the delicious cavern. He broke the kiss and nipped his way down the opposite side of the delectable neck, stopping in the same spot as Draco. They both bit down just hard enough to mark the skin and give a burst of pleasurable pain.

Harry cried out with the fiery sensation that raced through his body when they bit him. He reached behind him and grasped Draco\'s hard, aching shaft in his hand and fisted the cock from base to tip. He caressed a hand down Lucius\' chest, stopping at the pierced nipple, and tugged and pinched the erect nub.

Draco was fast approaching release, so he pulled Harry\'s hand away from his throbbing shaft. Ignoring the mewling protests, he stepped away from Harry. He walked to the bed and pulled the covers down. He climbed in the bed and waited for his father to guide their lover to the bed.

Lucius pushed Harry towards the bed, and Draco pulled him close. He climbed on the bed, lay on his back, and pulled Harry up to kiss him.

Harry, taking the hint, knelt beside Lucius and explored his mouth to his heart\'s content. He finally broke the kiss and traveled back down to play with the nipple he\'d teased earlier. He licked across the erect nub before pulling the ring gently with his teeth. Lucius arched up with a moan and Harry ran a caressing hand down the taut abdomen to the thick shaft. Still teasing the nipple, he wrapped his hand around that lovely cock and slowly stroked up and down.

Draco knelt behind Harry and kissed across the slender back and shoulders. He traveled down and spread the cheeks of that lovely arse. He inhaled the musky scent before licking right across the little pucker. Ignoring the pleading moans for more, Draco licked and sucked around the relaxing hole, and then straightened his tongue and thrust it inside.

\"Gods, Draco. Fuck me,\" cried Harry, pushing back into that wonderful tongue.

He bent down and took the shaft he was still caressing into his mouth. Lucius cried out and thrust further into the warm depths surrounding him. Harry took more of the shaft into his mouth, removing the hand that was in his way, until his nose pressed into the soft curls at the base. He swallowed around the cock in his throat and Lucius came with a loud cry. He swallowed every drop eagerly before moving up to kiss Lucius gently.

Draco finally pushed a slick finger into the opening he was teasing, followed quickly by second and third finger. He thrust and twisted those fingers, thoroughly stretching the little hole. He removed his fingers, despite Harry\'s cries of protest, and replaced them with his cock. He buried himself to the root with one quick jab. \"Harry, gods you\'re so tight. Love you.\"

\"Draco, please... faster,\" wailed Harry, clenching one hand in the sheets. With the other hand, he grabbed a handful of Lucius\' hair and pulled his mouth up for a tongue-tangling kiss. With every thrust that hit his prostate, Harry moaned and mewled into the kiss.

Draco sped up his thrusts until he was pounding into Harry, gripping his hips hard enough to leave bruises. He thrust twice more and held, crying out, and spilled his seed into the warm channel. He pulled out, cast a cleansing charm, and turned Harry around. He kissed the kiss swollen lips and thrust his tongue inside forcefully.

Lucius just positioned his cock at the entrance and thrust inside, delighting in Harry\'s moans for more. He set a fast pace, making sure to hit that spot with every thrust, and sent Harry closer and closer to release.

Draco lay down on the bed beneath Harry, and sucked that hard, leaking shaft into his mouth. He moaned around the shaft when Harry swallowed his cock to the root and sucked hard. He thrust into that warm mouth, hitting the back of Harry\'s throat. The convulsive swallowing at the end of every thrust caused him to come after only a few moments.

Lucius reached around Harry, caressing over an erect nipple, and pinched lightly. He felt his climax approaching and wanted to come with Harry, so he pinched the nipple hard while biting into the curve of his neck and shoulder in exactly the same place as earlier. Harry tensed and came with a scream, spilling his seed in Draco\'s mouth. Lucius thrust twice more into the constricting channel and spilled his seed into the heated depths.

Harry blacked out from the sensory overload and collapsed as soon as Lucius pulled out and let go of his hips. Draco had already scooted out from underneath him and was now laying by his side cuddled into his side. Lucius crawled to the other side of Harry and wrapped his arms around him. Lucius and Draco soon joined the brunette in the land of the sleep.
