Sing for Me, Cry for Me

27. Shall We Continue?


Whatever Harry’s actions might have been he wasn’t given enough time to think of them. Before he even got the chance to turn his back a hand dug into his hair pulling him painfully off of Lucius with incredible force. It made Harry yelp and lose his balance. What happened next happened in such a quick succession that no one could really give account of the events ever afterwards. But the moment Harry was forcefully dragged away the person who dared to touch Harry was pinned to the wall with Lucius’ hand squeezing his throat so tightly that all the breath stopped to go in or out. Harry went tumbling down on the floor while Lucius was absolutely surely trying to murder the intruder.

When Harry had found himself sitting on the floor he was totally astounded by the picture that greeted him. His godfather the one who had enough brainless cells to decide to separate Harry from Lucius seemed to be living his last minutes. Lucius was holding him in a death grip. It was a well known fact for those acquainted with Veelas and their special attitude towards their mates that in no way you could touch a Veela’s mate in a threatening manner or in any manner at all if either the Veela or its mate didn’t give you any sort of permission. And if you so much as threatened or treated the said mate rudely it was as much as signing your own death sentence.

Harry never in all his life saw anyone as furious and as dangerous as Lucius at that moment. From what he could see from where he was sitting on the floor as if in a trance Lucius’ eyes that were always stormy steel grey were filled with silver liquid that was trying to break through drop by drop as a poison which Harry supposed it was because he remembered something about Veela’s angry glare that could kill you on the spot with a special liquid that was exuding from its eyes on the unfortunate fool and consequently a victim. Harry could also see from the way that Lucius was snarling that small and incredibly sharp if stories were believed fangs appeared at the corners of his mouth just as silver as the poisonous liquid in his eyes. The victim never stood a chance and Veelas were never blamed for their murder as in many cases it were because it was a tradition a ritual of a morbid sort to punish the one who so much as touched its mate in a not so reverent manner.

Harry was sitting on the floor and practically drooling over his protective half Veela. God but he is beautiful when he is angry. So powerful so dangerous and fantastically gorgeous. But the next moment Harry decided that he’d rather interfere or he would witness the unfortunate demise of his godfather at the hands of Lucius. Not that he didn’t deserve it thought Harry. Who the hell asked him to treat me like that. Harry was gradually rising from the floor and carefully walking towards Lucius. The only one who could stop the Veela from killing was naturally its own mate. But he is so damn gorgeous like that and Sirius will finally learn that you can’t intrude without knocking on two people who had so much more to do. Damn him. But he is my godfather I can’t let him die really.

Harry came up to Lucius smirked at Sirius who was barely alive and wrapped his arms from behind around his mate’s waist. Harry kissed Lucius on the shoulder and Lucius head snapped towards his mate all the anger and danger momentarily leaving his eyes. Harry leaned upwards and kissed him lightly on the lips.

“Let him go.” he commanded softly and Sirius slid down the wall clutching at his throat while Remus was helping him to stand up. Harry’s eyes darted towards another figure that all this time he failed to notice. Oh Remi is also here. Well, I’m sure he will be able to explain to Sirius what you can and what you definitely can’t do when the matter lies as deep as somebody’s soul. Though the question is if Sirius listens to him.

Apparently after such a performance a Veela for some time was working automatically and needed guidance as to its next actions and Harry could understand that. He wondered what he would be like if he only moments ago was about to murder an intruder who put an offending finger on his mate. So he turned Lucius in his arms and started kissing him knowing that that would be the best option in bringing his mate back to his usual I’m-in-control-of-everything state.

While they were kissing Sirius was gradually coming from an almost death trance of his own. When he finally managed to breathe normally he started suffocating and spluttering once again helplessly indicating in Harry’s direction. When he made a move to rise and was about to separate them again Remus put him into a body binding spell and started angrily hissing in his ear:

“Sirius isn’t one time of being almost killed is not enough for you?”

“What are you talking about?” asked Sirius is bewilderment, “Don’t you see what is going on? Harry is kissing that monster and I am not going to watch it! Take of the damn spell!”

“Sirius if you opened your eyes you would see not a monster. First of all Lucius Malfoy is much a person as the both of us. Secondly you obviously have got not the slightest idea about soulmates.”

“Soulmates? What are you talking about?”

“Harry and Lucius Malfoy are soulmates.”

“What? Remi you must be losing your mind.” said Sirius in disbelief shaking his head.

“No my dear Sirius it is you who will lose your life if you attempt to separate them once again. I would advise you not to touch Harry if you want to live.”

“They can’t be soulmates! I mean have you seen him? He was all silver and he was going to kill me! I can’t let him kiss Harry! I can’t let him even touch him! Harry! Harry! Look at me! Stop it right now! What do you think you’re doing?”

Harry slowly parted his mouth from Lucius’. Lucius’ eyes were back to his normal grey human. Harry smiled. I guess I like him anyway and whispering “I’m glad your back” turned and looked at Sirius raising his eyebrows.

“Sirius if you ask a question wait till you get your answer or next time you might not find yourself among the living.”

“Harry…”

“Lucius here,” Harry felt Lucius putting his arms around him and smiled while Sirius made a sound resembling that of a barking, “is my soulmate.”

“I don’t believe it. And what about Remus?”

Harry and Remus simultaneously furrowed their brows and looked questioningly at Sirius but before either of them could voice the question out loud Harry was turned to face a getting furious again Lucius with narrowed eyes that were suspiciously getting darker:

“You said that there was nothing between you and that werewolf!”

“It’s true! Don’t look at me like that! There is nothing! There was nothing! And there will be nothing! I swear!”

Harry was frozen with fear when a sudden not so pleasant idea struck him. If only its mate could calm down an angry with somebody else Veela who could possibly calm down the said Veela if it was angry with its own mate. Harry gulped and decided that it was too early for him to die at the hands of his extremely suspicious jealous and possessive Veela. Harry didn’t say anything else but rather decided to convey his message through an eye contact. Gradually Lucius’ eyes became lighter and the liquid that was already gathering in the corners of his eyes disappeared. Harry sighed and placed his face in the crook of Lucius’ next.

“You really can’t suspect me every time someone says something love. I am faithful to you. And how can I not? Are you sure you yourself read the whole book on Veelas and its mates? Don’t you know that once a mate is claimed the only person he will ever love will ever belong to or will ever crave the touch would be its Veela and no one else. There was not a single case where a mate would be unfaithful or at least attracted to another person. It is unthinkable. But mates do have a past and there is nothing a Veela can do about it. Not that there is a past in our case. I already told you and I tell you once again that I do love Remus but like a family. You on the other hand is written all over my heart and my soul and body if you wish so. But Lucius stop being so suspicious please. It hurts me to think that you don’t trust me one bit.”

“I believe you love and I promise to believe you ever since. I am sorry if I inflicted additional pain on you through my over possessiveness. I think I will have to learn to deal with it. Though I suppose that with the bonding the idea of the possibility of you to belong to someone else will be eradicated from my mind completely.”

Harry smiled.

“I hope so and now I think it is high time to deal with my overprotective godfather.”

“Sirius where the hell did you get that idea?”

“I thought … I thought … during holidays I noticed how Remus was looking at you and I thought…” he looked at Remus.

“Sirius you know you can be very thick some times. The reason I was studying Harry was because I felt that something was going on inside of him. I’m a werewolf I can feel those things. I can feel the aura when someone finds its mate and I was wondering who was it. Harry was so incredibly happy glowing from within. I was even afraid that such a powerful glow would melt the snow all around. Than after talking with Harry I had a reason to believe that he found his mate in Lucius Malfoy. But the glow was rather unusual and I decided that you must be a sort of a magical creature and now from what I could see I presume that you are a Veela.” finished Remus addressing Lucius who only slightly nodded wrapping his arms still tighter around Harry.

“So that’s why you started asking me all those questions?” asked Harry.

“Well that and I really wondered what all those changes were about.” answered Remus.

“I see. And that’s why you left us to our own devices all through the holidays thinking that there is something going on between us?” asked Harry Sirius now.

“Yes! But I didn’t like the way you were hugging that day at King’s Cross Station!”

“Neither did I.” supplied Lucius.

Harry glared at him.

“Look who’s talking. You were all around your wife when I saw you!”

“I already explained…”

“But so did I…”

“That’s why you felt so badly when I found you at night?” interrupted Remus, “It was because you saw Lucius with his wife.”

“Exactly.”

“Wait a second! You knew? You knew that that bastard and Harry…” there words failed Sirius as long as he was unable to say what exactly it was between Harry and Lucius. He took a deep breath and stared accusingly at Remus: “And you did nothing to stop it! And you didn’t tell me! How could you? How could you let it happen?”

“Sirius there is nothing we can do! If Lucius is a Veela and he found his mate in Harry and claimed him there is nothing anyone can do.”

“Claimed him?”

“If they had sex Sirius.”

Sirius turned towards Lucius and brandished his wand:

“I’ll kill you bastard.”

Harry stepped in front of Lucius and glared at Sirius.

“If you kill Lucius you will kill me. In a couple of weeks we will bond and become united in one soul. We will belong together for eternity. You can’t separate us. I won’t allow you! Put down your wand Sirius and accept it. Lucius and I are together. Lucius and I are soulmates. Lucius and I are going to have sex whenever we want. Speaking of which I intend to have sex with Lucius as soon as you leave. And if you are not going or don’t want to take the truth than go and never come back. I don’t know what you see when you look at Lucius but you’d better change your image of him and your attitude. No matter what and who he is no matter what he did he is with me now and we will stay that way whether you like it or not!”

“Harry…”

“I love him Sirius Ok? He is a part of my life. He is my life. He is in my soul. He is in my heart so deep that nothing and no one can take it away from me. It is your choice and you have to make it. You can go now and listen to Remus for once. I know he must know something about Veelas and their mates because he is a another magical and he might have the very same problem. Or you can just go. Go. And next time remember knocking even it is a cave.”

Sirius was standing pale and shaken to the core by the revelations and proclamations of his godson. Remus guided him towards the door and they left.

Harry was standing pressed against Lucius who was cradling him in his arms. Harry turned in Lucius arms and grinning asked:

“Shall we continue?”

Lucius laughed. Harry thought that it was as good as yes and jumped high wrapping his legs around Lucius’ waist. After awhile they landed on the floor.
