Truly Madly Deeply

Chapter V

“My answer would be yes, Potter.” Lucius answered smoothly.

Now it was Harry’s turn to stare at the man with astonishment. “Yes? That was it?” he blurted out. “No question as to why I asked you to be my boyfriend or something similar to that?”

Lucius raised his eyebrow. “Well, Mr. Potter, judging from your performance so far it’s very obvious that you have planned this all along. Isn’t it better that we don’t waste our breath arguing about something that trivial?”

That made sense. It also convinced Harry that Lucius was planning something. He decided to play along and waited to see his next move.

“And, Mr. Potter,” Lucius continued in his customary drawl. “You aren’t very hard on the eyes either. I think this shall benefit both of us greatly.” He finished, smirking.

‘Typical of Lucius’. Harry thought in amusement. “It’s nice to know that I don’t need to persuade you,” he said, shrugging.

“So,” Lucius’ smirk turned into feral one. “I think we should cement this, shouldn’t we?” Then, without any further warning, the man leaned forward and kissed him.

Harry kissed him back. He even moved to straddle Lucius without breaking the kiss. A need of air finally forced them to break apart. “You know,” he said conversationally. “If I knew that you’re such a good kisser, I would have proposed this a long time ago.” With that, he pounced the man.

An hour later, it was a tired, breathless but very sated Lucius Malfoy who rolled off of one Harry Potter. The situation was very surreal. In the past few days, Potter kept surprising him with odd comments. Obviously, when he told Potter to meet him, he didn’t expect to end up in bed with the said teen. Two years ago, he would gladly kill the boy if he had a chance but now they were lying on the same bed together. He didn’t even remember which one of them conjured the bed.

“That was great,” Potter said as he lay beside him, grinning widely. “We should do that again.”

“I didn’t know it was that easy for you to jump into bed, Potter,” he said, quite curious in fact.

“I did it once with Theo. We both were a bit curious at that time,” Potter answered lightly. “Anyway, it’s not like we’re stranger. I have known you since I was twelve years old. And, last year, we interacted quite often when you helped us to hunt Voldemort’s Horcruxes.”

He looked at Potter for a long time before declared. “You really are something else.”

“Call me Harry.” The teen flashed him a grin. “Since we’ve slept together, I think we’ve moved past that.”

“Fine then…Harry.” As Lucius thought about it he really didn’t see any loss if he accepted the proposition. In fact, he had a lot of to gain from this… relationship, he supposed, with the savior of the wizarding world. More so than the rewards he could reap from following the Dark Lord. Not to mention the fact that Potter was really attractive and very eager in the bed.

“Splendid. And when I said that we should do that again…” Potter...Harry now, smiled slyly at him. “How about now?”

Who was he to refuse such offer anyway?

Lucius escorted him back to Hogwarts after that. When they left the restaurant there was already a carriage waiting for them. Lucius went inside the castle with him and, after that, left to have talk with his son, maybe to explain this whole thing, but not before giving him breathtaking farewell kiss. The man was an utter cold bastard but when he wanted to be, he could become perfect pureblood gentleman.

Dinner was quite amusing in Harry’s opinion. The students who had seen him together with Lucius filled their friends in and, once again, he was the hottest piece gossip at Hogwarts. Malfoy was glaring murderously at him the entire dinner. Meanwhile, Hermione kept pestering him for details. Ron, on the other hand, tried his best to stay away from the topic, which wasn’t a difficult thing to do since, once the meal was served, he devoured his food in bliss all thought about his best friend with Lucius Malfoy perished. Overall, the day ended well.

However, the next day, his good mood was ruined by Daily Prophet’s headline.

“Harry!” Hermione’s shocked exclamation caught his attention.

“What?” he asked. When he looked up, he saw that not only Hermione but also every student who had Daily Prophet in their hands was looking at him. At teacher’s table Dumbledore’s eyes were twinkling merrily. At his side, Remus looked worried. Next to him, Snape looked like he had just swallowed tons of lemon drop. What was going on in here?

Hurriedly, he grabbed his own newspaper and read the headline. Lucius Malfoy and Mr. Potter to open the first magical orphanage in England was written in bold black ink. “I’m so going to kill him!” he exclaimed in shock. He quickly read the rest of the news.

Dear Readers,
In one week, the first orphanage for magical children will be opened. The benefactor of this was none other than our respectable member of wizarding society, Mr. Lucius Malfoy. Mr. Malfoy not only gave us the idea about how to help the unfortunate children but he also funded the whole thing. The orphanage also will host the muggleborn children with no family so they can grow up in an environment suited for them.

Not only that, when we interviewed Mr. Malfoy, he stated that Mr. Potter, the Chosen One, would come to the ceremony. Though It’s impossible to forget, we still want to remind you that both Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Potter were caught gallivanting together in Hogsmeade, which lead to the rumor about their relationship. Mr. Malfoy had stated that ‘Harry’ supports the idea wholeheartedly. Such wisdom from Mr. Potter.

Aside from Mr. Potter, the opening ceremony will also be attended by several members of Wizengamot and influential figures in the wizarding world. Stay tune readers, for we’ll report the complete story.

“That bastard!” He growled, unconsciously tightening his grip on the paper so much that it tore into two. At the very same moment, a huge black eagle owl swooped down in front of him and dropped a letter before flew away. Arrogant like its master, he thought. The short letter only told him that Lucius would pick him up Saturday morning, so he better be prepared.

The nerve of that man! Who the hell was he to think that he could order him around? Sure, he knew that Lucius would milk the relationship they had for all it was worth but he didn’t think it would happen this fast.

“Harry, are you alright?” came the worried voice of Hermione.
He looked at her. “Yeah, I’m just a bit surprised.”

“Huh?” they finally got Ron’s attention. “What is going on?”

Hermione rolled her eyes but nonetheless shoved the newspaper to him. Ron read it, eyes bulging out. “Bloody hell!” he grumbled out.

Hermione gave him dirty look. “What are you going to do?” she asked him.

He sighed. “I suppose I’ll have to go.”

“What?” Ron shrieked, causing every head on Gryffindor table to turn to look at them.

“Ron! Lower your voice!”

Ron blushed. “Uh…sorry Harry.”

“Listen, this orphanage idea is a good thing okay. What I don’t like is the fact that Lucius practically tricked me into going. If he asked nicely, I’d do it because it’s a good cause, even though I hate press,” he grimaced a bit. “Oh. I’ll get him back for this.”

“Good idea, Harry!” Ron agreed. “You could prank him, you know! Turning his hair red and gold! Bet he’ll hate that!” he laughed at his own idea.

Harry wasn’t going to prank Lucius based on Ron’s idea. No, that wouldn’t be fun.

The next week was a scary reminisces of Harry’s last week. Mrs. Weasley send him a letter and Sirius paid him a visit, again, accompanied by Remus. After he assured them that he was fine, he met with a fuming Draco Malfoy. Honestly, they all behaved as though Lucius would come to whisk him away and take him to some remote tropical island.

Saturday, as promised, Lucius came to pick him. They flooed to the Ministry of Magic and, from there they used car. A black shiny Jaguar. He was surprised to know that Lucius owned a car but since the ministry owned them as well, maybe Lucius didn’t want to be left out.

The orphanage itself was a five floor building with a few house elves to cook, clean and wash as well as professional staff. The building was charmed so that if a muggle walked past it they would only see a vacant, ruin of a building. Lucius really had gone all the way. But, then again, the man never did anything halfway, especially when he wanted to get society’s support. No one with half a brain would think that Lucius built the orphanage out of his kindness. They knew it. Lucius knew it.

After the opening ceremony was over, Lucius escorted him back to Hogwarts. “I must admit that I find your acceptance towards this entire thing a bit disturbing,” Lucius commented.

He shrugged. “It’s for good cause so I don’t mind even though you paraded me around.” This time he glared at Lucius. “What made me upset was you tricked me into going there.”

“Ah yes,” Lucius drawled. “I’ve been wondering when you’ll bring up that topic. However, what has happened has happened. Nothing would change it.”

“No. But I’ll get you back for this. Just wait.”

Lucius raised his eyebrow. “Well, in that case, I shall be waiting for this little revenge of yours.” The man said mockingly.

Days had passed and today was the one where Gryffindor and Slytherin would have their first Quidditch match. It was also the day where he would extract his revenge. Why? Because Theo had told him that Lucius would attend this match seeing as this was his son’s first time as Slytherin captain. Uruqhart, their Quidditch captain when Harry was in sixth year had graduated, so the position fell to Malfoy. Now, that he thought about it, Lucius also came to Malfoy’s first match years ago. Oh, this would be perfect!

“I am going to beat you this time, Potter!” Malfoy sneered as he mounted on his broom.

He smirked at the blond. “Not going to happen in a million years, Malfoy!”

True to his words, Gryffindor flattened Slytherin in the match. Harry landed on the ground where he was quickly surrounded by his teammates, who were laughing and clapping.

“We won Harry!” Ron boisterous voice was the loudest.

He smiled at them, equally happy. Not far from them, Malfoy and his teammates had landed as well. Snape and Lucius walked towards them moment later. The blond quickly moved to his father side.

“Excuse me,” he said and then marched off to Lucius. “Lucius!” he exclaimed loudly, getting the attention from Slytherin Quidditch team, Snape and also the ferret. “Thank you for coming to support me,” he gushed out innocently. “You were right when you said I’ll beat Slytherin. Such faith! And to think you were once a Slytherin too.”

Snape looked like he was having aneurysm and the expression on Malfoy’s face was totally priceless. It was worth every bit of it.

“Thank you again Lucius. You really are the best boyfriend in the world!” and with that he leaned forward to kiss Lucius’ cheek, not on the mouth since they’re on school ground. But his action was enough to shock Malfoy to oblivion.

Thud!

He turned around only to see Malfoy lying, out cold on the ground. The shock had been too much for him. He turned back to smirked smugly at the half irritated and half amused Lucius. Now, that would teach the man to never do anything without consulting him first.

Author’s Note:


Hi! It’s me again. As always thanks to all of you who reviewed. It has been quite long since the last time I updated this story. When I left a story and came back later I always don’t get quite a hang on it.

World Cup is finally over with Paul the octopus chose the right winner. I think it’s quite funny and amusing.

Anyway, I have a problem with my wisdom tooth. It grow sideways and the doctor recommended to go under operation to remove it. I’m confused as I think do I really, really need to do it since I’m truly afraid of the operation, of the blood etc. I have tried looking for information on Internet but the more I read the more frightened I am.
