Wildest Dreams

Innocent

"Did some things you can't speak of
But at night you'll live it all again
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only you had seen what you know now then"
-Taylor Swift "Innocent"

After returning to Grimmauld Place from having lunch with Narcissa and Severus, Harry contacted Kingsley by owl to ask if they could visit Lucius Malfoy who now permanently resided in Azkaban. A moment after sending the letter, the reply arrived almost immediately saying they were welcome to apparate outside of the Azkaban's gates any time they were ready. Kingsley warned that some of the dementors were still present at the prison but he had restricted their behaviour. He also informed them to bring lots of chocolate to counteract the effects of the dementors.

Harry watched Draco read the letter. "Dray, I am ready whenever you are to see your father." He hugged him tightly.

Draco nodded and leaned into the hug. "I do not think I will ever be ready for this particular conversation but it needs to happen. I do not want my father to find out from some prison guard, who is just out for revenge, that his only son is gay. It just can not happen like that. No matter what kind of person he is, he deserves the truth from the source and not from some random person."

Harry holds Draco tightly. "I will be there with you while you tell him and if he acts up I will lay him out on his arse for being a bigoted arse. I promise you will not have to do this on your own, Dray." He kissed him on his cheek.

Draco looked at Harry. "I really do not know how I got so lucky to have you in my life. You are always saving me from danger or myself." He leaned forward so their lips touched and he deepened the kiss ever so slightly.

Harry pulled back. "Let's get this over with. I'll get the chocolate." He gave Draco a peck on the lips and left to go upstairs.

Once Harry returned with the chocolate, they held on to each other as Harry apparated them to Azkaban's gates. There was someone waiting for them as they stepped forward.

Draco was holding onto Harry so tightly. He was incredibly nervous and scared. And it was not all because of seeing his father. Azkaban was just a terrifying place especially for someone who had been there. Draco had stayed there until Harry saved him and testified for him and his mother during the Death Eater trials.

Harry nuzzled closer into Draco and whispered. "It will be okay. I am right here."

The Azkaban guard sneered at Draco and nodded at Harry. "Lucius Malfoy has been transported to the visitors section for you, Mister Potter and Mister Malfoy. Just follow me. And I suggest you conjure a patronus once you are inside the premises and I presume Kingsley mentioned bringing chocolate for yourself and the prisoner to get a proper visit." Both Draco and Harry followed the guard.

Once inside Harry conjured his stag and it walked between him and Draco as they walked to the visitor area. The guard steered them into a room and when they looked inside, there they saw a disheveled Lucius waiting for them.

When Harry and Draco approached the table where Lucius was, again Draco held onto Harry quite tightly and whispered. "Dray, no need to worry. No matter what happens you always have me." They separated and sat beside each other as Lucius watched their interactions with one another curiously.

Draco looked at Lucius. "Hello, Father. It has been awhile. I have come to update you with the goings on in my life. I have something to say and I need to get it out so please do not interrupt me. Besides, you owe it to me to pay attention to what I have to say after the hell you have put me and Mother through over the years." He handed Lucius some chocolate who ate the chocolate immediately.
