Severus let his gaze wander around the room again to check that they hadn't forgotten anything. His attention fell on his husband who grinned shyly at him.
“What is it?” The teacher wanted to know.
.“Do you think ... do you think we can come back here next summer? Maybe more than just a week? Harry would surely understand that. "
Severus almost laughed out loud. .just a few days ago it had been inconceivable for Sirius to be separated from her son for a long time. And now he regretted that their vacation was so short. Sirius couldn't have shown more clearly how well the last few days had done him. .harry's present had been just right for the two men.
Severus gently put his arm around the other's waist and pulled him close.
“Of course we can do that, I also really liked it here. .our son and Lucius made a very good choice. I'm glad you enjoyed it as well. "
“You didn't doubt that, did you? You were wonderful and this place is wonderful too. .besides, you were all right I urgently needed this vacation. I love our son more than anything, but we're really too sticky to each other. I think I need Harry a lot more than he needs me. "
."That's not true," Severus protested immediately.
“Yes, it's true, he's a lot more grown up than me. And I blame Azkaban for that, my development has gone backwards. I'll never forgive the old man for that. "
.severus kissed his husband on the temple.
“Don't think about the idiot, he'll annoy us again soon enough. It is important that we are relaxed. "
Sirius grinned slyly.
."That's me and I hope you continue to make sure that I stay so relaxed," he said, grabbing his husband between the legs.
Severus let out a dark rumble.
."Don't do that or I'll throw you right back on the bed. We have to go. "
"Shit," Sirius grumbled, letting go of his prey.
"Wait until we're home, I'll be happy to pick up where we left off," Severus promised.
.immediately Sirius grinned dirty again. Yes, they really had used their honeymoon the way it should be. And it clearly hadn't been long enough.
Harry and Lucius used the wonderful day for a ride. .it was the first time Harry had been alone on a horse on such an occasion. Otherwise he had always leaned against the strong chest of his admirer. Something that the young man missed sorely today. .Nevertheless, riding was great fun for him.
"You're doing well," Lucius praised.
Harry beamed happily at him.
“Oh, I just have the best horse on the whole island,” the green-eyed man said immediately.
.Lucius was amused to see how the animal pricked up its ears and held its head a little higher.
'Why does the little one always have the most intelligent animals around? He seems to really attract her. '
.“Come on, let's ride to the lake, there's a beautiful clearing there, Ariel told me. Apparently a little surprise is waiting for us. "
"Do I have to worry now?" Harry wanted to know.
."Only when my godson has found the surprise in front of us and it turns out to be something to eat."
The young wizard burst out laughing.
.poor Dray, he's just hungry and he's growing, ”Harry defended his friend.
.."If he continues to grow according to his food intake, then even Hagrid will have to put his head back at some point, just to be able to look Draco in the eyes," Lucius stated.
.the words weren't even as baseless as they seemed. During the vacation, Draco had really skyrocketed. He even towered over his father, and he was a proud 1.85 m tall.
."Would be fun," Harry giggled, and asked his horse to gallop a little faster.
And again Lucius shook his head as the horse did what the boy wanted. Because Harry gave no commands but asked the animal with words. .the blonde wouldn't be surprised if the cattle eat their grass with a knife and fork, Harry should ask very kindly.
The surprise actually turned out to be something to eat. .it was a lovely picnic the elves had prepared for the two of them. The little helpers had prepared a lot of delicacies on a pretty blanket.
"Think we're starving?"
"The elves want you to get full too."
."Why always me? I look so skinny, ”Harry growled.
"It's probably more because you know Draco's appetite very well by now," suggested Lucius diplomatically.
.the young man was immediately appeased by these words and got off his horse.
"The grass looks very juicy, enjoy it", so he let go of the animal.
"Why do they always understand you? .is there a trick, are you using a spell? "
“Dad keeps asking that, too. I don't know what I'm doing differently, I just babble on and it seems to work. Maybe it's my body language? "
.Lucius doubted that, but said nothing about it. He would much rather spend the time with his young companion.
"Wow, not even ants," Harry marveled as he sat down.
.lucius took off his shoes and sat down on the blanket as well.
"Of course not, the elves would never have allowed that," he smirked, then reached out to pull Harry into his arms.
"Are you hungry?"
."Yes, the fresh air boosts my appetite enormously."
'Mine too,' Lucius thought. Immediately he scolded himself for his fantasies. "Must actually be due to the air."
.Harry didn't notice the thoughts of his companion, he preferred to snuggle up to them and enjoy the view.
“It's really beautiful here. .It always seems to me as if magicians have the most beautiful places on earth in their possession. "
"You mean because it doesn't look like that in the Muggle world?"
"I agree."
"That's because of the pollution," explained the blonde.
“I feared it. .on the one hand I find the world of wizards totally old-fashioned, on the other hand I like it too. Precisely because the environment is protected here. "
.“We may not produce any exhaust fumes or we may mess up the landscape with ugly skyscrapers, but we exploit the environment just like muggles do. We harvest everything where we can and don't even respect someone else's property. .do you think magical plants would only grow in our world? Or that the animals are only with us? "
Harry shook his head wildly and turned to Lucius.
"No, I do not think so. .I love to remind you of the Quirrell notes. He has denounced in his books that wizards steal from muggles. And that without any bad conscience. .in his opinion it wouldn't be bad if we get the plants from the muggles, at least the ones which can be dangerous for a non-mage. But we should compensate them for it. But of course nobody thinks about that. .you wouldn't just give away some bellcorns * because you're so generous. "
"Definitely not," snorted Lucius.
These fruits were not only delicious but also extremely expensive. .The blond even owned a few trees and made good money selling them. That alone would never have money worries.
“Exactly, but the magicians steal like ravens. .the only thing they sometimes leave as a thank you to the muggles are bewitched items. I'm just saying: spitting toilets. Very funny. The magical society is an association of robber knights. .all that's missing is that they sprinkle the land of the non-magicians with salt. "
Lucius nodded and was always amazed at the young man's intelligence and sense of justice. .this wizard could take on any politician, the blonde was sure of that.
"I'm looking forward to you taking your seats," smirked the man.
.to get other thoughts again, Lucius began to feed Harry. At first it almost hit the ceiling or the trees, but the blonde just smiled reassuringly at him.
“If it gets too much for you, please tell me. .I don't want to overwhelm you, just pamper you. "
"You've been doing that all along," Harry replied softly.
"Oh yes? It doesn't seem so much to me, ”Lucius admitted.
.the green-eyed man sat up a little straighter and looked the man in the eye.
"Little? Lucius, you treat me like I'm a prince. .you act towards me as gentlemen might have done with a lady in the Victorian era. At least that's how it is described in some novels. "
.“I don't do much besides going horse riding with you and taking you on a carriage ride. Or to run through the woods with you in Animagus form. "
“And that's nothing? .didn't you like it? ”the lion said meekly.
“Of course I liked it, it was beautiful and funny. I also know that you are not so interested in material things, but I would still like to do a lot more. .what did you call me, a Victorian gentleman? If that means wanting to give all the gold in the world to those who are being advertised, then yes, then I am someone. Even if I would never call you a lady. .you are a young man who fascinates me more every day. "
Harry blushed suddenly.
"That's exactly what I mean, you manage to spoil me with your words alone. .don't you realize that it's still a miracle for me that I'm even worth your attention? "
Lucius swallowed.
“No, I wasn't aware of that,” he confessed.
"But that's how it is. .you're so far above me, and I'm not talking about your social class now, I don't care at all. Merlin, that's difficult. "
Harry pulled his hair out and had to be careful not to babble again. .besides, he just couldn't look Lucius in the eye again.
"Hey look at me. Don't forget, don't be ashamed, you don't have to. What do you mean, I would stand above you? ”Lucius asked gently.
.Harry took a deep breath and looked up at the blonde. Then he had pushed himself into a nice corner. He had been afraid of this conversation and now he had addressed it himself. That was it then.
.“You are urbane, smart, elegant, you don't let anyone intimidate you. In addition, you always keep your nerve and don't start babbling. .everyone listens to you when you speak, nobody would dare to underestimate you or to be stupid to you. You move about in international politics as if it were a Sunday stroll. .and as far as I know you can get a lot of jobs under one roof without breaking a sweat. ..these are just a few things that I admire about you and every day I find new qualities that make you rise even higher in my respect. How am I ever supposed to keep up? How am I supposed to prove myself worthy of you?
.and there is one more thing, you have no heir. I know how important such things are to a noble wizard. And I'm a boy, I'll never be able to give you children. Even if I know that we are a long way from there. .I'm just scared that one day you'll wake up and wonder what you want with a good-for-nothing like me. You are the most sought-after bachelor in the country and probably far beyond the borders. .almost every woman would sell her own grandmother to be with you. You would have the choice to choose the most beautiful from a lot of beauties. .I'm just a teenager who doesn't even know if he has enough OWDs to stay at school. No matter how many seats I have, I'll still be a boy. .You said you wouldn't see me as a lady, but if I had the chance to stay with you I would turn into one anytime. And just for this pathetic sentence I would like to drown myself in the lake. "
.Harry had bowed his head again after this speech, which of course he had made at a rapid pace. Now it was outside, all his uncertainty and all his doubts. .he had no illusions, he was sure that Lucius had started thinking about his words. And that the blonde had come to the same conclusion as Harry. .the aristocrat could never be with someone who couldn't give him an heir. Not in his position, society would not understand and certainly not accept it. .if Draco were Lucius' son no one would have a problem with it, but like this. The green-eyed man was sure that in the future he could only be friends with Lucius, it would never be more. .the very thought of it almost brought tears to Harry's eyes. But he wasn't going to cry, there was no way he was trying to blackmail Lucius emotionally. And then something else occurred to him.
.“You don't need to worry about my fathers, I'll talk to them. They will understand your decision, ”he whispered softly.
Lucius had listened with increasing horror. .he knew Harry was insecure, but he had no idea how much. The young man's self-esteem was so non-existent. Presumably all of its happiness was one big mask. .or a protective mechanism to avoid being attacked. A protective armor that was broken today, and only because of an innocent question.
Determined, the blonde pulled the green-eyed man into his arms.
.“You pretend I have no say in the matter. How do you get it that I move away from you? Hopefully not because of what some social apes might think of me? .harry, if i want to be with you then not because society is good but because i like you. I don't care if you can have a child. .should it really happen that we want children then there is something like adoption. But you should know that ”, with the words Lucius nudged the green-eyed man on the nose.
Harry blushed, he had actually forgotten that.
."It's not that respected," he mumbled.
“Because mostly morons live in our world. What's wrong with giving a child a good life? Doesn't everyone deserve to love growing up? "
."My relatives would say no."
"Your relatives were born without a brain or empathy."
Against his will, Harry started laughing. No one had ever described the Dursleys so aptly.
.Lucius was pleased with this reaction and pulled the young man even closer.
"Still, I'll never hold a candle to you," Harry muttered.
The blonde wanted to bewitch the Dursleys to the wind. .they were responsible for Harry's self-loathing.
"Don't talk nonsense, you are great the way you are. Everything about you is right. "
"Do you find?"
."Yes, of course," and without thinking twice, Lucius leaned down and put his lips on Harry's.
When they parted, Lucius looked pleadingly at his companion.
"May I kiss you properly, or is that too fast for you?"
."Right?"
Lucius smirked when he saw the big eyes.
"Yes, right," he confirmed.
The green-eyed man swallowed, then nodded.
Lucius took his time, under no circumstances did he want to overwhelm Harry or put pressure on him. .he kissed his counterpart very gently and only after a while ran his tongue over his lips. He was all the more astonished when Harry opened his mouth almost immediately.
The blonde entered the strange oral cavity carefully. .Harry tasted sweet after all the fruits and sweets he had eaten earlier. It was intoxicating, especially when the young man's tongue finally found its way into his own mouth. .lucius then pulled Harry even closer and put a hand on the back of his neck.
They ended the kiss reluctantly, but Lucius didn't even think about leaving it with one of them. .he was about to ask Harry if he could kiss him again when he saw Harry change color again. This time in a very dark red. .the little one tried to say something, he opened his mouth, tangled himself up and passed out. Just like a Victorian lady.
Fortunately, Lucius still had him in his arms so he didn't fall far.
.“My little one, you have no idea what your feelings are causing in me. They make you irresistible. You are exactly what I always wanted from Narcissa ”, the blonde confessed.
.Lucius had not wanted his wife to be faint, but rather to have unadulterated feelings. Harry showed the aristocrat exactly what it looked like inside. .and it was precisely this honesty and devotion that Lucius had always so sorely missed in his ex-wife.
The blonde leaned back and stroked Harry's hair. .no, he would definitely not leave the green-eyed man, rather he would do everything to ensure that he never looked at anyone else. .satisfied with his decision, the man enjoyed the prospect that it would definitely be a while before his Victorian lady woke up.
It was about time that Harry's past was once again clearly noticeable. .He hasn't got over his childhood that quickly. But luckily the young man has Lucius.
