CHAPTER 15

Draco and Neville had checked every single room in search of Lucius the next morning, they had heard James crying and he had stopped crying with great trouble by Severus. But when they did not find him, they got worried and started to ask around.

They had first tried to ask Tom. Who had yelled at them to leave him alone because he did not care about anything Lucius was going through. He had not even bothered to listen to the whole question.

They had then went to ask Harry who told them to leave because he was busy. He had not even allowed them to speak. And he had not bother to address Draco. He had slammed the door in their faces.

They had went to Severus next, who had been shocked at learning that Lucius wasn't in the castle. Harry had not talked to him about anything relating to Lucius. He had just told them he would check where he was and inform back to them when he finds Lucius.

Right after Draco and Neville left, Severus was approached by two house elves, Kreacher and Dobby. Kreacher had said that Dobby saw Tom hitting young omega Lucius and then a burst of dark magic and heard screaming from young omega Lucius. And then he said he saw nothing else after that.

After dismissing them, Severus stormed to Tom's office and walked in without walking. Severus has never felt this angry before, he was no longer in control of his emotions.

"Tom you hurting Lucius wasn't a good things. You know Lucius is fragile, yet you went ahead and hurt him. Lucius is our youngest and he has done a lot more for us then we realize. I can feel it that our family is already falling apart." Severus almost yelled.

"I know. I know shouldn't have. I made a big mistake. I did something I should not have. And I am sorry." Tom murmured, years gathered in his eyes.

"You can't just say sorry to me. The one you need forgiveness from is Lucius." Severus said and Tom nodded in understanding.

"I will do it right now." He started to walk out but stopped when Severus chuckled in amusement.

"Well you would be able to apologize if he was here. But Merlin he is not. He would not have been thrown out without conversation by our so called alpha if he was a true king." Severus' words pierced through his heart.

"Why would alpha do that to him?" Tom asked with tears filling his eyes.

"The same reason you hurt our Lucius." Severus left after saying those last few words.

Draco and Neville moved away from the door and quickly hid behind a stool. After Severus was out of sight, the two youngsters got up and ran away to Neville's room. Neville helped young Draco on the bed and then he got on to.

Draco did not cry and nor did Neville. They were sad, so sad that tears meant nothing to them. There was no consoling each other when they were both sad. Nothing was good for them.

They had eavesdropped during Severus' conversation with Kreacher and Dobby and also when Severus was talking with Tom. Maybe it was a bad thing to do, but they only did it because they were looking for their mama. So maybe it was okay.

The young boys had drilled the portraits with questions and they had given them answers. They had told them about Harry and Lucius' fight and how Lucius was dragged out of the castle by his hair. And then Neville and Draco asked the guards about where Lucius was sent and found out that he was thrown over the edge of the gryffindor kingdom by a direct order from the king.

"What are we going to do?" Draco finally asked, they couldn't let mama be outside all alone.

"Let's send a letter to Shadow and ask her to help us. We can give her a small picture of mama and tell her to look for him in the forest." Neville suggested and got up from the bed and rushed over to the small notebook he had and flipped to the page where Shadow's address was, she had gave it to them in case of an emergency and they had to send a letter to warn her.
