Are you sure he won't mind?" Bill asked quietly as he and Ron followed Harry along the corridors.
"No he won't, don't worry. Besides I hardly get to see you, I want to get to spend lunch with you but…" Harry drew off biting his lip.
"But you need Lucius right now. There's nothing to be embarrassed about Harry, you are mates, that was a stressful situation, you need your mate right now," Ron smiled shaking his head.
"What about Fred, George, Percy and Charlie?" Harry asked nervously.
"Well Charlie, Fred and George are totally on your side once they heard that Lucius was a veela, heard what you did to those boys and after the letter Ron sent home basically saying he supported you and thought that this was the right choice for you to make. To all our shocks Percy is also firmly on your side and went off on a long lecture about what he knew about mates and veela mates in general," Bill laughed.
"Ginny isn't happy," Harry sighed.
"Ginny's head was filled with stories of you by mum when she was younger, when she met you you became a real fairytale, then when you saved her her night in shining armour. She had it in her head you were suddenly one day going to realise you were in love with her, marry her and make her Mrs Chosen One. Which is why we're so so supportive of this, we live with one of the harpies that would be trying to seduce you and marry you," Ron rolled his eyes.
"Here we are," Harry smiled before knocking on the portrait. Seconds later it was opened by a confused Draco who paused mid hug to blink at Bill.
"Harry, you know you have two Weasleys trailing you right?" Draco said without letting Harry go as Lucius hurried to the entrance.
"I'm aware of that yes as I brought them here. I hoped we could have lunch together?" this was aimed at Lucius.
"Come in, I know Ronald but I'm sorry you are…" Lucius looked at Bill cautiously.
"Bill Weasley, the eldest one," Bill held out his hand.
"Oh, the curse breaker, Harry has spoken a lot about you. Pleasure," Lucius nodded shaking the offered hand. As soon as he let go he seemed to have had enough of waiting as he gently pried Draco off Harry and nudged him out the way so he could tug Harry against him himself. "Are you alright?" He asked concerned.
"I'm fine, can we sit down?" Harry asked feeling the tiredness seeping into his bones already. It had only been two hours since he left.
"Come on my love," Lucius easily guided Harry inside leaving Draco to motion an uncertain Ron and Bill in. Severus was perched in the armchair scowling slightly as Lucius led Harry to the sofa they had slept on the night before. Sitting down Harry quickly toed off his shoes and tugged Lucius down so he could bury his face into his shoulder.
Quietly Draco, Bill and Ron came over, Bill perching at the end of the sofa while Draco motioned to the other free armchair for Ron before moving to sit on the floor between Severus and Lucius. Harry sighed as he felt his body relaxing at being surrounded by Lucius. Without really thinking of their company he raised his head, tilting it towards Lucius in askance which was quickly answered. Lucius kissed Harry gently and deeply, slowly enjoying the taste of his mate and providing comfort and warmth. Harry was amazing each time they kissed by how much Lucius could show with his kisses, always understanding what the man was trying to say and give Harry with them.
