Lucius Hidden Son

Chapter 16: The explanations.

-- "Do you know what is going on here? "Asked Severus coming to the bed where Harry and Draco were one in the arms of the other.

A sides, Lucius said nothing, he was content to observe silence in his two sons who would eventually give him grey hairs well before age.

The two boys heard the voice of Severus. Draco looked up and crossed the gaze of his father and then the one of his godfather.

Harry turned around, he had still reddened eyes beacuse he had cried. He didn’t dare look at his father, nor his potions professor … His professor of potions?

-- "Professor? What are you doing here? "Harry asked gently.

Draco, Lucius and Severus looked at him, incredulous.

-- "You do not say anything to him ! "Growled at the same time Lucius and Severus looking at each other

-- "Say what ? "Asked Harry who really knew nothing but felt he will not like the answer.

-- "Severus is your godfather like Draco, he told me to come after what happened during his course…" Lucius explained.

Harry was very visibly embarrassed.

-- "Can I know what you both had in mind ? "Lucius continued, an authoritarian voice that did not at all pleased Harry.

Both boys looked embarrassed.

-- "Well…. I…. That…. "Harry tried but he didn’t know how to explain at his father that he blew up the cauldron of Draco because he was tired of seeing him playing spy for their father.

Before he was able to say something,Draco took a great inspiration and explained the whole affair to his father and at Severus who did not know whether he should laugh or cry. Lucius had thought able to control Harry? He had filled his finger in the eye until the end of feet! (An typical french expression, sorry !). If Lucius would have spoken with him earlier, he would have immediately said it was amistake! The potions professor began to be used by the character of that Gryffondor!

Lucius listened silently what his elder said. Clearly, he was responsible for this story even if he refused to admit it!

-- "Do you have explained, both? "He asked.

The two boys nodded.

-- "And can you tell us why Draco’s bed looks like a pond? "Severus asked with a mocking smile.

One thing is unimaginable for a Malfoy, Harry blushed to this question under the laughters of Draco and Severus. Lucius gone from shock to a smile that said long. The situation amused him too.

-- "It does not rain the castle, if that's what you want to know. Draco explained to his godfather when he was calmed down. It is a real fountain which came apologize, then I cracked and have been reconciled. ".

-- "It does not surprise me from you, that! grinned Severus. You have the heart on the hand, but he, he said designating Harry, he is even worse! Ah! They are beautiful Malfoy and their so-called heart of ice! And him... He said, designating vaguely Lucius of the hand.

Fortunately for Severus, Lucius did not realized anything, too busy to find a way to explain everything to Harry without acting like an Hufflepuff.

-- "Harry, he began searching his words, is there any reason why you never write to the Manor? I do know what's going on here because of Draco ‘s letters … Is something wrong? "

Harry shook his head but said nothing. He could not tell him he did not write him because he did not know what to write or how to write.

Fortunately, Draco came to his rescue which Harry thanked him inside.

-- "I have already talked with him, he will write you at least once a week. I will help him a little eat the beginning , if necessary… "he said while watching Harry in the eye to make it clear that he could not evade and had absolutely no intention to write his letters to his place.

Satisfied with this answer, Lucius nodded. He had asked Draco to write because Harry never wrote to him. He wanted to know what he was doing of course, but wanted to learn to know him too. He had spent sixteen years without seeing his son and to be honest with himself, he did not know him really. He knew that what he had read in newspapers of which three-quarters was false, he was certain.

For this reason, Lucius had planned to spend as much time as possible with his second son during the Christmas holidays that were more and more close. It was normal that Harry does not know what to write to him because he did not know his father neither. And what he believed to know is that the public face of Lucius, nothing to do with the real Lucius.

-- "Very well. In the meantime, you know that the holidays will soon arrive. I want by then that you work harder on your studies and try to have the best possible results. I am not asking the impossible but at least an E in each subject! ". Says Lucius.

Upon hearing Outstanding Effort in each subject, Harry's eyes were close to fall out of their orbits. The history of magic, does it counts? Obviously, said a small voice in his head, he just said ALL!

-- "Oh misery! "Said Harry, unfortunately for him his words exceeded his thought and everybody had heard what he had said.

Lucius cleared his throat to make Harry return to reality.

-- "Obviously, if you want you can ask Severus a little help with your homework and your lessons, if he agrees…" he said turning to his best friend who did not open his mouth since the new blunder of his second godson.He was always the fist to attract trouble. He sign to Lucius that this does not hindered him.

-- "Do not count on me to do your homework for you! But I am willing to help you. You only have to come to my office, if you need help, "said Severus.

The twins were delighted! They were able to have some very good grades if their godfather Severus wanted to give them a helping hand.

-- "In the meantime, I expect you both in my office in ten minutes to redo this potion! And this time, there will be no help! Neither for one or the other! "He said when leaving the room under the gaze of an hilarious Lucius who expected something in this taste here and there to punish the twins to have made him practicaly have an heart attack in the midst of his classe.

-- "Oh no! "Cried the twins in unison.
