Unforeseen Circumstances

Chapter 4

Harry jerked his head around and stared at Severus in frustration. “Sev,” he whined. “You ruined it.” He climbed off Lucius’s lap and out of the bath, snatched his towel, wrapped it around his waist, and stalked out of the room.

Severus and Lucius were staring at Harry in total shock. Lucius scrambled out of the bath, grabbing a towel as he did, and followed Harry. Severus, of course, took off after both of them. He managed to grab Lucius before he reached Harry’s room and guided him to the room he’d been using.

“Get dressed. Obviously, we need to have another little chat,” growled Severus, pushing Lucius forcefully into the room. He completely ignored Lucius’ scowl and turned to go into Harry’s room. Opening the door, he was relieved to see that Harry had already pulled on his pajamas and was currently sitting on the bed banging the Voldemort voodoo doll on the bedpost. He heard Harry mutter, “Damn, I was so close. Why couldn’t he have come in five minutes later?”

“Harry?” asked Severus, staring at the young man sternly. “Do I need to have The Discussion with you?”

“Really, Sev, just because I’ve never actually had sex before doesn’t mean I’m completely ignorant about the mechanics of it,” said Harry a bit petulantly. He threw the doll against the wall and crossed his arms.

“Do you really think you’re ready to have a physical relationship at this point?” asked Severus carefully.

“With anyone else, no. I really like Lucius, though. It’s not just his gorgeous looks, of which he has plenty, believe you me. He’s also a lot like you. He’s got that intelligent sarcastic wit in spades, but he can also be one of the nicest people around to the ones he cares about. I’ve seen the way he acts around you when no one else is around,” said Harry firmly.

“Yes, he can be nice. But he can also be extremely cruel. Do you really want to be in a relationship with someone like that?” asked Severus seriously.

“Sev, please do pay attention to the other participant of this conversation. I am the one who pestered the piss out of you until we talked civilly and look how our relationship ended. If I can be this close to the snarky, cold, cruel Potion’s Master of Hogwarts, why do you not think I understand what I’m getting into with Lucius?” asked Harry.

“I just don’t want to see you hurt anymore,” said Severus, sighing in defeat.

“I know that, but you can’t go through life without getting hurt at some point. I do have to agree and say that I don’t want Lucius to hurt me any more than you do, but I do think he’s worth the risk,” said Harry maturely.

“My baby’s so grown up,” cried Severus, crying fake tears and shielding his head from Harry’s slap.

“You are such a prat,” said Harry, laughing at Sev’s antics. “But I really do love you, dad.”

“Believe it or not, somewhere along the way, I discovered that I love you just as much, brat. Now stay here. I have to go chat with Lucius,” said Severus.

*****

“Lucius, you just don’t how tempted I am to kill you right now,” said Severus, glaring at the blonde. “I don’t want you defiling my virginal Harry.”

“He’s still a virgin?” asked Lucius, ignoring the threat.

“Of course he is. Does that make you less inclined to start anything with him?” he asked hopefully.

“No, just the opposite in fact. Makes me want to be the only one to ever possess him,” said Lucius calmly.

“I hope you aren’t planning to take his virginity just to say you were the first, Lucius,” said Severus threateningly. “If that is the case, you may leave right now and never darken my doorstep again.”

“Severus, don’t be an idiot. I already told you I wasn’t just toying with him. I actually like the brat. He’s surprisingly pleasant to be around. Of course, the last time I really had any contact with him, we were throwing curses at each other over a prophecy,” said Lucius.

“What are you going to do about Draco? Are you going to tell him that you are in a relationship with his school rival?” asked Severus pointedly.

“I don’t see why I shouldn’t tell him. I’m not ashamed to be in a relationship with Harry. Draco will just have to learn to deal with it,” said Lucius firmly.

“You know very well that Draco is not going to deal with this new development well. He will almost definitely try to cause problems between the two of you,” said Severus. ‘Dear God, I really do act like an overprotective father,’ Severus thought to himself. ‘No wonder Lucius calls me Daddy Severus and Harry calls me dad.’

“We will work past that, Severus. Is your only objection that you’re afraid I’m going to hurt Harry?” asked Lucius.

“Yes,” said Severus.

“I swear on my life that I will never intentionally hurt Harry in any way,” said Lucius gravely. “If I do hurt him, you have my permission to follow through with your threats.”

“Done. If you ever do anything you know will hurt Harry, your life is forfeit,” said Severus, shaking the blonde’s outstretched hand.

“Can I come out now? I’m bored,” yelled Harry through his bedroom door. Severus and Lucius just snickered.

“Come on out, brat. Lucius and I have concluded out chat,” called Severus.

Harry bounded out of the room and flopped on the couch, holding the book Severus had gotten him for Christmas. He ignored Severus and Lucius, reading through the book silently, until Lucius sat down beside him.

“If you were just going to ignore us and read, why did you come out of your room?” he whispered to Harry.

“I don’t like being by myself. I’m perfectly content with silence, but I do like to be near people with whom I’m comfortable,” whispered Harry. “Now hush, I’m reading.”

*****

The days until school started back passed far too quickly for Harry’s liking. He and Lucius, per Daddy Severus’ request, were slowly getting to know each other better. Severus wouldn’t allow them to be alone together at all.

Harry was now waiting in the entrance hall for his friends to arrive. He hadn’t seen Ron or Hermione since he’d saved Lucius from Voldemort. He jumped, startled, when someone touched his shoulder. He spun around and smiled when he saw Lucius.

“Are you waiting for Draco?” asked Harry, leaning against the blonde comfortably.

“Yes, so I thought I’d keep you company,” said Lucius, resting his hands on Harry’s waist.

“Sounds good to me,” said Harry, tilting his head and kissing Lucius softly.

“Potter! What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Draco demanded from the entryway. Blaise was standing beside him, gaping at the sight before his eyes.

“Oh look, I see Hermione and Ron. I’ll see you later, Lucius,” said Harry calmly, quickly kissing Lucius and walking towards the stunned redhead and Hermione.

Draco started to stop him, but Lucius shook his head and gestured for Draco to follow him. Draco glared once more at Harry and stalked after Lucius, waving Blaise off towards the Great Hall.

“Harry, what the hell was that all about?” screeched Ron, turning as red as the hair on his head.

“Lucius and I are together,” said Harry calmly, bracing himself for the inevitable explosion.

“What?! How could you? Why him?” he yelled. It was a good thing Harry had dragged them to the Room of Requirements to have this discussion.

“Does he make you happy, Harry?” asked Hermione quietly.

“Yes, he does. He was the reason I left the Burrow. He’s been spying for Dumbledore and Voldemort found out. I had a vision of him being tortured and went to save him,” said Harry.

“He’s a spy?” asked Ron incredulously.

“Was a spy, Ron. Didn’t you hear Harry say that Voldemort had discovered his treachery?” said Hermione irritably. “Didn’t you see them together? Lucius really cares about Harry.”

“Fine, Harry, but if he hurts you, he’s a dead man,” said Ron threateningly.

Harry just grinned and hugged his friends.

An hour later, he was ready to kill those friends. When Harry mentioned that he’d been staying in Severus’ rooms, Ron immediately exploded again. Even Hermione had a few things to say about his holiday living arrangements. They both jumped to the conclusion that he and Severus were lovers, and no amount of denials on Harry’s part would convince them otherwise.

Harry finally just gave up, told them to shut their mouths, and stormed from the room. He just couldn’t fathom why they were all right with his relationship with Lucius, but they protested his purely platonic relationship with Severus.

*****

Lucius led Draco to Severus’ quarters so they would have privacy for this conversation. Lucius waited until Draco was seated on the couch before he said anything.

“Draco, as you probably noticed, I am in a relationship with Harry,” said Lucius, pacing the living room floor.

“How exactly did you get involved with Goody Goody Potter?” asked Draco incredulously. He couldn’t believe his father had the nerve to tell him he was in a relationship with a person his son’s age.

“First, there are some things you should know. The real reason Narcissa and I got divorced is because she went to the Dark Lord and volunteered to bear him an heir. He refused her offer, but he did ask for you to be the bearer of his heir. Your mother was going to allow this to happen, but I refused.”

“The Dark Lord discovered my role as Dumbledore’s spy and tortured me, beat me, and left me the forest to get savaged by wild animals. Harry had a vision of me being tortured and apparated to the forest to save me. He barely got there in time. He managed to apparate us to Hogsmeade just as a wolf lunged at my bleeding body.”

“I was in the infirmary for one night, but on the second night, I decided to spend the night in Severus’ quarters. To my surprise, I found Harry and Severus asleep together in his bed. I, of course, immediately assumed they were lovers, but they both assured me that was not the case,” explained Lucius.

“And you believed them just like that?” asked Draco sarcastically.

“Yes, Draco, I believe them,” said Lucius. He started to say something else, but Severus walked in the door.

“Lucius, have you seen Harry?” he asked innocently, knowing just the question would probably set Draco off.

“Lost your lover, have you?” asked Severus sarcastically.

Harry barged into the room. “Hey, dad, do you mind if I stay here again tonight? Hermione and Ron are about to drive me crazy, and they’ve only been back an hour.”

“Dad?” asked Draco, completely confused.

“So, Daddy Severus, can he stay?” asked Lucius, ignoring his son’s questions.

“I don’t mind, Harry, but just for tonight. Now that school is back in session, you’ll have to stay in the tower,” said Severus firmly.

“I know. I’m going to my room. Lucius, you don’t mind if I torture your doll a bit, do you?” asked Harry, smirking at the blonde’s raised eyebrow. “What? The whole reason I made that doll is to give you something to relieve your anger and frustrations on. Believe me, I’m both angry and frustrated,” said Harry, aiming a glare towards Severus. He stormed into his room and slammed the door shut.

“Hermione and Ron obviously said something he didn’t like about either his relationship with you, or his relationship with me,” said Severus, staring at the door. He finally walked to the door and walked in to talk to Harry.

“This is just weird,” said Draco, watching the drama unfold. “And what doll was he talking about?”

“He got me a Voldemort voodoo doll to take out my frustrations on. Very ingenious if you ask me, though he has used it more than I have lately,” said Lucius, smiling softly.

Draco saw that smile on his father’s face and reeled in shock. He’d never seen Lucius smile like that with his mother, and only rarely with him. His father really loved that Gryffindor prat. “You love him, don’t you?”

“Why do you say that?” asked Lucius.

“That smile on your face. I could also tell in the entrance hall, but I was little upset at the time. I still can’t say I like the relationship, but I won’t do anything to ruin your relationship as long as he makes you happy,” said Draco quietly. ‘Damn, I’ll have to learn to get along with the prat,’ thought Draco.

Suddenly, they heard a screamed, “Holy shit, it actually works.” They looked at each other and ran to Harry’s room. They opened the door to find Harry waving the voodoo doll in front of Severus’ face and pointing at a red smear from ear to chin.

“What happened? What works?” asked Lucius, rushing to Harry and pulling him into his arms.

“This voodoo doll. I was banging the doll\'s head rather violently against the bedpost, and this red..stuff ran out of his ear down to his chin. Do you know what this means?” asked Harry excitedly.

“Give me that,” said Lucius, taking the doll from Harry. He transfigured a piece of parchment into a dagger and stabbed the doll in the leg. A bright red smear appeared where Lucius had stabbed the doll. “Damn, it really does work. Didn’t you make this doll, Harry?”

“Yes, I found a book on different spiritual religions in the library. I wanted to read about Wiccans and happened across Voodoo. Did you know they have amazing healing spells and purification spells? Anyway, I saw a passage about voodoo dolls and looked up how to make them. I just had to have something from Voldemort to create the doll and there you have it,” explained Harry.

“What did you have of Voldemort’s?” asked Draco, staring at Harry in awe.

“Oh, I used my blood. After all, he wouldn’t be alive today if that bastard hadn’t used my blood in his rebirth ceremony,” said Harry casually.

“That’s it, Harry,” cried Severus, startling everyone else in the room.

“What’s it?” he asked.

“Your blood. We just have to find a way to capture his soul so that he can’t come back. Once we have that, we can use your blood bond to destroy the Dark Lord,” said Severus.

“Sounds like a plan, so where do we start?” asked Harry.

“Research, of course,” said Severus, smirking when everyone else moaned at the extra work. “We’ll start tomorrow afternoon, Harry, so make sure you attend.”

Yeah, yeah. I think I’ll go to bed now. Don’t suppose you’ll let Lucius join me?” he asked hopefully.

“Go to bed, brat. I’ll be in there later,” said Severus, snickering when Harry sighed and gave one last longing glance to Lucius before going into his room. “Conversations are over. Draco, get back to the Slytherin dorms.”

Draco groaned and started towards the door. He turned back suddenly and walked to his father. He leaned up to hug the man, whispering in his ear. “I’ll keep Severus busy if you’d like for me to.”

“Tired of Zabini already?” asked Lucius.

“We decided we were better off as friends. Besides, I’ve always wanted a piece of Severus,” said Draco.

“I’d appreciate it,” said Lucius quietly.

“Severus, can you walk me to the dorms? I have a few things I would like to discuss with you,” said Draco. Severus nodded, and he and Draco left the room.

Lucius walked to Harry’s room and quietly opened the door. He saw Harry standing at the window, wearing only a pajama bottoms. “Would you like some company?”

“Where’s Sev?” asked Harry, turning towards the blond.

“Draco’s keeping him busy,” said Lucius, pulling Harry close and kissing him deeply.

Lucius pushed Harry onto the bed and quickly stripped off the pajama bottoms. Hurriedly stripping his own clothes, Lucius climbed on the bed with Harry and resumed the deep tongue-tangling kisses they enjoyed so much. Lucius reached out and grazed Harry’s nipple, causing the brunette to moan and arch closer to the body covering his.

Harry spread his legs wider and wrapped them around Lucius, bucking up into the blonde and grinding their rigid erections together. Harry threw his head back and whimpered. Lucius just kissed and nibbled down Harry’s neck until he reached the little nub he’d been teasing. He licked around the nub, and then bit around the nipple lightly.

Lucius suddenly moved down to the brunette’s hard, weeping shaft and wrapped a hand around the base and lapping at the tip. He took the head of the shaft into his mouth, running his tongue along the underside of the head and dipping it teasingly into the slit.

Harry cried out, gripping a handful of the blonde hair, and thrust up into that deliciously wicked mouth. He shuddered uncontrollably when Lucius swallowed his cock down to the base, the convulsive swallowing massaging the head of his shaft.

Lucius opened the lubricant he’d placed on the bed earlier and dipped his fingers inside. Slathering his fingers generously, he placed his finger at Harry’s opening and circled the pucker lightly. He pressed the finger into the hole, thrusting it in quickly. Harry cried out and tightened his grip on Lucius’ hair.

Lucius quickly added a second finger, scissoring the fingers to stretch the hold thoroughly, before adding a third finger. Thrusting the fingers deeply, he made sure to graze the prostate often. Harry was moaning and thrusting, fucking himself on Lucius’ fingers. He whined when Lucius removed his fingers, only to scream when the blonde positioned his cock at the hole and thrust in completely.

Lucius paused to let Harry adjust to the fullness, kissing him gently and caressing him soothingly. Harry moaned into the kiss and wiggled his hips experimentally, causing Lucius cock to bump into his prostate.

“Oh god, Lucius. Move,” gasped Harry, loving the feeling of Lucius buried so deeply within him.

Lucius set a fast pace, thrusting quickly and deeply, hitting Harry’s sweet spot with every inward drive. Harry moaned and whimpered, begging Lucius to go “harder..faster..right there..please..more.”

Lucius reached down and fisted Harry’s rigid cock, stroking in time to his rapid thrusts. It only took three strokes for Harry to tense, screaming Lucius’ name, and spilling his seed over the blonde’s hand and his stomach.

Lucius cried out with Harry’s release and thrust into the clenching channel twice more before coming hard into the warm depths. “God, Harry. I love you,” he gasped, collapsing onto the sated brunette.

Harry wrapped his arms around the relaxed and sweaty blonde, whispering “I love you, too, Lucius.”

Lucius rolled to Harry’s side and pulled him close, feeling utterly relaxed and content. Harry just cuddled into his side, placing his head on Lucius’ chest, and falling asleep to the sound of his beating heart. Lucius looked up and saw Severus standing at the door. He started to say something, but Severus beat him to it.

“Just make him happy, Lucius,” he said, turning and leaving the room before Lucius could say anything.

“I intend to, Severus,” whispered Lucius.
