Summary – Voldemort was killed in Harry's 6th Year and now they are back for their 7th Year but Harry has a secret that no-one expect Draco, Theo, Blaise, Severus Remus and a few other Slytherin's know. What will happen when everyone will find out? One thing is for certain, Harry's life will never be the same.
Disclaimer – I do not own Harry Potter or any characters/places, all that goes to J. K. Rowling!
Couples – Harry/Lucius, Draco/Hermione (before that it will be Ron/Hermione for 2 chapters), Severus/Remus, Blaise/Neville, Seamus/Dean, Pansy/?, Daphne/?
Warning – RON and few Weasley and Gryffindor bashing! OOCness! In all characters! XD Don't like? Don't read then!
Authors note – AU because Dumbledore is alive and I changed Lucius' age to be mid 30's so Draco was born when Lucius' was in his 20's.
It's been three or four months since the Dark Lords defeat. Hogwarts was back to her former glory and everyone was back to start their new year.
Harry James Potter didn't feel like starting school again but being a seventh year and almost ready to venture out into the adult world, he had to finish it.
He sat alone in the compartment of Hogwarts express, sighing heavily and pinching the bridge of his nose as his mind wandered back to the summer after the end of the war. He was a different guy now.
Shoulder length raven hair. Vivid emerald eyes that didn't have any glasses obscuring them (he thanked the god he found a medi-witch who could heal his eyes). He had a nicely toned body, from all the Quidditch and the war. And then, there was the wedding band on his finger.
Yep. You got it. Harry James Potter is married. He got married at the summer holidays, two weeks before he came to Hogwarts.
He was suddenly pulled out of his thoughts by the compartment door slamming opened and two bickering voices, rising by the second. He looked towards the two people and he let a small, forced smile grace his lips before he turned back towards the window, listening to the conversation.
"Honestly Ronald… Can't you just grow-up?" Hermione Granger chastised her year-long boyfriend, Ronald Weasley.
"Oh come on 'Mione, you don't like Malfoy either, so why are you like this?" Ron sighed, sitting down next to Harry.
"I'm not even going to comment on that Ron…" Hermione sighed, her patience wearing thin with him.
"Hermione, Ron, could you two tone it down please… I'm getting a headache here." Harry sighed heavily, rubbing his temples to try and make the headache go away.
"Sorry ma-" Ron said, turning to look at Harry but his voice stopped when he saw him.
"Harry? What happened to you?" Hermione gaped at him, her mouth wide open.
"Nothing. Just had a slight change in appearances." Harry shrugged. "And please shut your mouth Hermione, you'll catch flies."
Said girl quickly snapped her mouth shut, wincing slightly as her teeth clicked together.
Harry rolled his eyes at her and the three of them talked about their summer. Of course Harry didn't tell them everything, he left out the most crucial part for later. It would be a surprise for everyone and this would tell him who his real friends were.
As the train stopped, the three of them made their way out of the compartment and straight out into the carriages. Harry, Ron and Hermione took the first carriage that was there, Neville, Luna and Ginny joined them.
Harry grunted when Ginny immediately attached herself to him, batting her eyelashes and obviously flirting with him but Harry ignored her looks and flirting and just concentrated on the ride up to the castle.
A few minutes before the carriage stopped Luna caught Harry's eye and mouthed 'Congratulations' pointing to his wedding band, a soft smile gracing her face. Harry inclined his head slightly in acknowledgment.
He knew Luna would support him in his decision and she wouldn't shun him, Luna was probably his most faithful friend who didn't question him and just followed him. Her actions and faith told him enough that she trusted him, even with her life.
The six of them, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Luna, made their way off the carriage and towards the castle.
Harry breathed in the familiar scent of the surroundings around him, smiling softly. They all walked into the castle and straight towards the Great Hall, immediately sitting themselves down and waiting for the sorting and feast to begin.
As soon as the first years had been sorted, Harry watched as the white haired man stood from his boisterous chair at the head of the staff table.
"Alas!" cried one Albus Dumbledore in a cheerfully loud manner, making Harry wince slightly. "To our old, I say welcome back. To our new, I simply greet you in welcome. It was just a few months ago that The Dark Lord Voldemort, also known as Tom Marvollo Riddle was killed and effectively securing our win and peace, so we could carry on with our lives as normal. Yet, there are still Dark wizards out there, Death eaters who haven't been caught yet." There were many a whispers at this announcement, but Albus simply waved their chatter away for now least it increase in volume. "There have not been any movements from them yet, but just be warned to look out for yourselves as well as your friends." He smiled reassuringly at the students.
Harry ignored everything around him until Hermione's voice broke him from his thoughts.
"Harry… Is that what I think it is?" Hermione hissed in his ear, shooting a pointed look at the ring on his finger. With a raised brow, Harry turned to Hermione and smirked.
"Yes Hermione, this is a wedding band. I'll tell you more later." He told her, turning to look at Dumbledore, effectively dismissing the conversation.
Hermione stared at him for a few more seconds before she too, turned to look at Dumbledore again.
"Please be reminded that the forbidden forest is just as its name states." Albus' voice continued. "Mr. Filch has asked me to remind you of the list of banned items which is located on his office door, so take a look if you wish. Also this year we are having a new course starting which the seventh and sixth years will be taki-" His voice was stopped by the sudden bang of the doors slamming against the wall.
There, in the middle of the doorway stood Lucius Malfoy, his Malfoy mask in place as he looked at all the wands pointed at him. Everyone was on their feet, pointing their wands at him. Everyone except Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter that is.
"Albus…" Lucius' drawled, his voice carrying all the way to the staff table. "Please could you tell your students to lower their wands. It's not nice and totally out of control." He huffed, glaring at the Headmaster.
"Ah. Of course Lucius." Albus chuckled. "Everyone, please lower your wands, no need to be alarmed."
Harry noted, as people started lowering their wands, that a major popularity of the school hesitated a few seconds before they reluctantly lowered their wands and sat down, yet they still kept their eye on the ex-Death Eater, the Slytherins were the only ones who didn't care and just carried on with their chatter.
"Thank you." Lucius nodded his head as he started walking between the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor tables, his hand slightly brushing against Harry's back.
"As I was saying, this year the sixth and seventh years will be required to take the new course." Albus continued with his speech from before. "I can see that most of you are wondering what this new course is. The Board of School Governors has decided that Hogwarts School shall start on a Political course. And because of this, Lucius Malfoy, has been asked to come and teach here." There were many cries and groans from everyone around them but Albus shot everyone a pointed glare and they all shut up. "You are all to treat Mr. Malfoy like any other teacher in this school. Any unacceptable behaviour towards him will be punished, no matter how small."
Harry smirked at this as he saw Ron groan and then glare at Lucius Malfoy, whereas Hermione just raised her brow.
"Another thing everyone should know. Since Mr. Malfoy is married and the rules clearly state that a married or engaged couple should have their own quarters, so he along with his husband and son has been given their own quarters in the Dungeons, near the Slytherin common room. " At that everyone was whispering, wanting to know who Lucius' Malfoy's husband was.
"Another addition to the staff is Remus Lupin, who just like three years ago, has joined us as the new Defence against the dark arts teacher. With that, let the feast begin!" Albus sat back down in his chair and Harry turned towards his food, hiding a smirk as he heard some girls near him trying to guess who Lucius' husband was.
At the end of the feast Lucius finally decided to end everyone's misery as he rose from his seat and moved down towards the Gryffindor table, specifically towards Harry Potter. Everyone stopped what they were doing and just stared speechless at them.
"Read to go Harry?" Lucius asked, outstretching his hand. Harry smiled at him and placed his hand in Lucius' outstretched one, standing up.
"Of course Lucius." He smiled, pecking Lucius lips. His eyes quickly found Draco who started making his way over to the two of them.
"Let's go then," Lucius' smiled at Harry and Draco, as the three of them made their way out of the Great Hall. Before the three of them left though, Harry and Lucius stopped in the doorway and with a quick look at everyone; Lucius leaned down and pressed his lips firmly against Harry's. Harry stood on his tip-toes and kissed Lucius back, moaning softly when Lucius tongue slid along his lower lip. As the two broke the kiss, they were breathing heavily.
Harry turned his head around and flashed a grin at everyone, chuckling low in his throat at the gob-smacked expressions on some of the students' faces. His eyes found their way towards the Staff table where he found Remus and Severus shaking their heads, although he could see the amusement in their eyes.
He quickly looked towards the Gryffindor table again and his smile fell slightly when he saw the out-raged Ron and a few other Gryffindors. He knew he wouldn't be welcome in the Gryffindor Common room or at the Gryffindor table the next day.
When Lucius' saw the look of hurt in Harry's eyes he tugged the raven-haired boy and wrapped an arm around his waist.
"Let's go and rest Harry… We'll talk about this in the morning." Lucius' murmured in Harry's ear and the lad nodded his head, turning away from everyone in the Great Hall and walking towards their quarters.
"Harry…" Draco whispered as he laid his hand on Harry's arm.
"I'll be fine Dray… I knew they would act this way. At least Neville, Seamus and Dean are my true friends from Gryffindor as well as Luna from Ravenclaw… They just smiled at me and I knew they was happy for me and Luna also congratulated me before we got here. Hermione was conflicted but Ron and a few others… They were outraged." Harry sagged against Lucius, his hand fisting in Lucius' robes. "I'll probably eat in the quarters tomorrow…"
"As if." Draco snorted. "I'll drag you to the Slytherin table Harry. You may be married to my father but you are still my friend and everyone in Slytherin cares' about you. Finnigan, Thomas, Longbottom and Lovegood can join us and if Granger changes her mind then she is welcome as well."
"Thanks Dray." Harry smiled at the blond, 17-year-old. Even though Harry married Lucius, Harry would never want Draco to call him dad, they were best-friends and it would stay that way.
"Let's go in then." Lucius said, as the three of them stood in front of the portrait of a young lad. "Sempre Insieme" he murmured the password and the portrait hole swung open.
The three of them walked in and gaped at the place. It was beautifully furnished and Harry especially loved the fireplace and the love-seat in front of it. He slid away from Lucius' hold and looked around the quarters, his eyes wide and filled with happiness.
"I love it…" Harry murmured quietly, his finger skimming along the books on the bookshelves as he felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist.
"How do you like your bedroom Draco?" Lucius' asked, turning around to look at his son, his arms still around Harry's waist.
"I like it. It's nice and I love the green and silver colours, it feels just like the Slytherin dorms." Draco said, coming out from the door to his bedroom. Harry chuckled quietly at him, shaking his head.
"You love everything green and silver Drake, no matter if it reminds you of the Slytherin dorms or the Slytherin house in general."
"True." Draco nodded in a Malfoy manner, grinning slightly at Harry. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and the three of them turned around.
"Come in." Lucius called, moving away from Harry but keeping one arm around his waist. The door swung open to reveal Remus, Severus and, to Harry's surprise, Hermione.
"Hermione wanted to talk to you Harry, so we brought her here." Remus smiled apologetically at Harry and he waved the werewolf off.
"It's fine Remus. No worries. Care to give us a few minutes Lucius, Draco, Severus, Remus?" Harry looked at all of them, when they nodded he smiled at them.
"Take my bedroom Harry, we'll stay here for a while." Draco said and Harry nodded.
The raven-haired lad turned to Hermione and smiled at her.
"Lets' go, we'll talk in Dray's room." He grabbed the girls' wrist and walked into Draco's bedroom, closing the door and setting up privacy and silencing charms.
"So… What did you want to talk about?" Harry asked, sitting on the bed and patting the seat next to him, waiting for Hermione to sit down.
"How long have you two been a couple? How long have you been married? Why did you keep it a secret? Who else knows? Are you happy?" Hermione blurted out,, flushing slightly at her straightforwardness. Harry chuckled quietly and patted her back.
"One question at a time 'Mione." He breathed out, flashing her a grin. "We've been a couple for a year… We just married last week, before start of school. I kept it a secret because I knew how Ron and the rest would react. Remus, Severus, Blaise, Theo and a few other Slytherin knows, as well as all the Professors. I'm totally happy and I feel like my life is finally my own and not the one I had ever-since I was born." He looked at her, his emerald eyes showing nothing but the truth.
Hermione thought for a few minutes as she took everything in, knowing where Harry was coming from. At first she was shocked but then when she saw the happy look on his face and in his eyes in the Great Hall, she knew that he was happy.
"Why didn't you contact me and tell me you were together with Malf- Lucius?" Hermione asked, hurt lacing her words. Harry smiled softly at her, pulling her in a hug and holding her close to him.
"Because you and Ron were together and I knew how Ron would react if he found out that Lucius and I would be getting married… I wanted to contact you, I really did 'Mione…" Harry whispered, "But you know how hard it is because of Ron." Hermione nodded to that as she, herself, knew how Ron would react.
"Still… I wished you could've at least told me you were together with him…" Hermione mumbled, tears welling up in her eyes.
"And risk someone else find out 'Mione?" Harry asked, raising his brow. "I don't mean that I doubt your trust but… we both know that you would've slipped one day 'Mione." He squeezed her slightly.
"…I suppose I can forgive you…" She muttered, before she moved back and looked at Harry.
"Yes?" Harry asked, tilting his head to the side slightly, a grin on his face. Hermione snorted in amusement at him before shaking her head.
"Yeah… You are happy…" She sighed heavily, looking away from him. For a few minutes there was just silence between them before Harry decided to break it.
"How… did everyone else act in Gryffindor?" He worried his lower lip with his teeth, watching Hermione out of the corner of his eye.
"Neville, Dean and Seamus were happy for you. Ron, Ginny and most of Gryffindor are livid while the rest are deciding to take the wait-and-see-what-happens side." She sighed. "They probably will start making your life hell, Harry."
"Oh please… As if they could do any worse than Voldemort, 'Mione…" Harry snorted. "They'll never find me alone… Probably but even if they did and they tried to attack me then the punishment wouldn't be light." He shrugged. "And, Slytherin won't sit back and just watch me being attacked. If they even find one scratch on me then apparently they will hunt the person down. Most of the Slytherin like me. Draco, Theo, Blaise, Pansy and Daphne are my best-friends from there… Those five and I always spent time together over summer holidays when Lucius' wasn't able to come home."
"Best friends?" Hermione's eyes were wide and her lower lip was trembling. Harry quickly pulled her into a hug again.
"You are my first best friend Hermione, don't forget that and you will always be my best friend." He patted the girls back. Hermione nodded her head and hugged him back, sobbing quietly.
"When you said best-friend I was scared that you replaced me…" Hermione admitted, her shoulders shaking slightly.
"Mione, I could never replace you." Harry whispered. "You were there for me, no matter what. You didn't shun me when my name was spit out from the Goblet of Fire. You were the only one who stood by me."
After that the two of them spoke for a few more minutes before Harry lowered the charms and walked out with Hermione, smiling softly.
"Everything sorted out?" Lucius asked, nodding to the girl next to Harry.
"Yeah… Everything is perfect although she's still mad at me for not inviting her to the wedding." He grinned at Hermione who swatted his arm.
"I have to go back to the Common room and get to sleep…" Hermione sighed, slightly reluctant to leave. "I should better prepare myself for some shouting and hexing…" She walked towards the door.
"Hermione… Meet us here tomorrow morning." Harry called after the girl. Hermione turned around and smiled at him before she walked out and closed the door behind her. Harry sighed softly and made his way over to the loves-seat, flopping down next to Lucius and cuddling close to him. The blond aristocrat smiled and wrapped an arm around Harry's waist whilst his other hand began raking fingers through the raven-locks on Harry's head.
"What did you talk about?" Remus asked, watching Harry and Lucius with amusement in his eyes.
"Something." Harry smirked at Remus, who scowled at the boy.
"Harry." Remus glared at the boy.
"Not telling you. This is between her and I." Harry huffed, closing his eyes and smiling softly.
"Ugh… Stubborn…" Remus muttered, slumping against Severus.
"That's my middle name Remus. You should know by now." Harry told him.
"What questions did she ask?" Lucius asked, looking down at the Raven-haired boy.
"How long have we been a couple? How long have we been married? Why did we keep it a secret? Who else knows? And she also asked if I was happy? That's it." Harry yawned slightly, nuzzling his face into Lucius' side.
"I think some sleep is needed…" Severus said, patting Remus' arm as he pouted at Harry
"I think so too… We'll see you two tomorrow." Lucius told Remus and Severus as the two stood up and walked out of the room. Lucius' picked Harry up and walked towards their bedroom.
"Draco. Sleep." Lucius looked at his son as he opened the door to his and Harry's bedroom.
"Yes father, I'm going sleep. But before I do... Please... put up silencing charms if you decide to change your mind." Draco grinned cheekily at Lucius before running towards his room and slamming the door shut.
Harry laughed quietly at Draco, shaking his head.
"Let's head to bed too, Lucius. We have a long day tomorrow." Harry murmured into his husband's ear, his teeth tugging on the lobe slightly. Lucius groaned quietly before throwing Harry unceremoniously onto the bed.
"Sleep? Yes. Sex? No. Not today." Lucius drawled as he started taking off his clothes and putting on his silk pyjama bottoms. Harry rolled his eyes at the man before he flicked his wrist and his clothes vanished, he grabbed some pyjama bottoms from the drawer next to him and pulled them on.
Lucius slid under the covers and pulled Harry close to him, wrapping one arm around the younger boys' waist. Harry snuggled close to Lucius and laid his head on the pale chest, his eyes closing.
"Night Lucius." He murmured sleepily.
"Good night, Love." Lucius whispered, kissing Harry's temple before the two of them succumbed to their sleep.
