Growing Up As He Should

The Blonde Peacock

Lucius was impressed. Those Marauders managed to get rid of the biggest thorn in his side. Albus Dumbledore, in a simple trial. Lucius was actually thankful for that. Maybe he could approach them at some point. For Merlin's shake they brought Regulus Black back to life and even those Devile Twins. Lucius shivered at the reminder of the Prewetts, it took five of the Dark Lords best Death Eaters to kill them and somehow they still survived. Even Severus sided with them SEVERUS! Who would prefer to lick Dumbledore's nasty wrinkled, dirty arse, than help Potter and Black.

As for their mudblood.....No, she is not a mudblood, she is actually Salazar Slytherin's descendant. She is Lady Slytherin. Merlin, he called Lady Slytherin a mudblood!

To be honest he was conflicted. He needed to find how to act with them. Maybe Narcissa could help him. Black is her cousin after all and Regulus and Severus could speak for him. Yes! That's what he has to do. Now it was time to find his wife.

Lucius Malfoy stood in James Potter's office. Sirius Black, Remus Lupin-Black, Lily Potter-Slytherin, The Prewett Twins, Regulus Black, Frank Longbottom and Severus Snape were there. James Potter looked at him twiddling his thumbs. "So let me see if I understand. You want to change sides and side with us. What makes you think we'll accept that? You are a Death Eater Malfoy, we fought each other countless times. Your friends tried to kill the Twins. Your 'Lord' attacked my home and my family and tried to kill My son. Your other friends killed Frank's dad. You treated Lily like dirt during Hogwarts.

You are a blood purist, a murderer. Why should we waste our time with you? Who is going to guarantee us that in the future, you won't betray us just like you are betraying your 'Lord' right now?". Lucius was taken aback by that. Turns out Potter wasn't as naive as he thought he was. He looked at Severus for some help. Severus pointed at his arm. 

"What if I swear an oath? I can give you information about the Ministry, about the other free Death Eaters!" Lily seemed to think about that. "Well, let me sweeten the deal then. You swear the oath we tell you, you come to our side and I'll remove your Dark Mark." Lucius was startled, she could remove his Mark? Was that even posible? He turned to look at Severus, who in turn lifted his left sleeve to show a clear forearm. Lucius's eyes widen and looked up at Snape again. He noded, that was all the confirmation Lucius needed. "I'll do it!".

Lily smirked "Excellent. But, we are going to do things, My way Malfoy. My way or the Highway. You choose. You take your oath now and I'll remove the Mark." Lucius looked worried "But how, how can you remove the Mark?".  She smirked again "Simple. Tommy boy thought he was the heir of Slytherin, so he used Parselmagic and Family Magic to creat that mark. Funny thing is, Parselmagic happens to be Family Magic. He thought himslef to be the only heir, but he was wrong, I hold the Lordship....well Ladyship but anyway. As I was saying, it's Family Magic. I can control your Mark Lucius."

"I can hurt you." She hissed and Lucius grunted in discomfort.
"I can torture you" She hissed again and Lucius started screaming and thrasing.
"I can kill you" She hissed and the pain stoped. Lucius was breathing rapidly on the ground, his heart pounding in his chest. Lily bend down near him and whispered. "I can free you". Lucius looked up at the readhead for the first time in all those years, and he finally saw her power. He noded.

Lily smiled "Great! James love, I think is your turn." She said as James Potter stepped forward. Lucius felt a hand on his shoulder, only to find Sirius Black right behinde him. "Now Dear Luci. Repeat after me. I Lucius Abraxas Malfoy hereby Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good." Malfoy looked confused, but he wasn't an idiot, to not agree. 

" I Lucius Abraxas Malfoy Hereby, Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good!"

Lily smiled "Stand up Lucius and give me your arm." He did, Lily lifted up his sleeve and toughed the Mark "This is going to hurt." She then started hissing. Lucius prided himself that after so many times under the Dark Lord's crusiatus, he couldn't feel pain anymore. He was wrong. The removal of the Mark was the worst pain he ever felt. Finally Lily stoped hissing and the pain stoped. Lucius looked at his clear white arm. "Thank you Lady Slytherin. You freed me."
