Dumbledore's Downfall (it'll take place, just later on): Year 1

Chapter 8

//Time skip of a year so we can get the story rolling//

It had been a little over a year, but they were finally getting a trial set up to get Harry. It had taken a lot of work and countless trips to the banks and ministry. They had finally found some form of writing that stated Lily did not want Harry going to Petunia and that if Sirius and Remus were not able to care for the boy, she wanted Severus to do it. After fighting with the ministry, they had gotten a custody trial set up, so someone would be retrieving the Dursleys so they could get custody. Lucius was going to personally deliver the trial date and paperwork to the Dursleys. In fact that was what he was doing now. Sev and Tom were watching their adorable two year old. Draco was growing up rather nicely. He was walking and talking and had even tried to use the big boy potty by himself. It was rather cute, but right now Luce was focused on getting Harry.

(Descriptions/mentions of abuse are about to happen in the next couple of chapters. I will put in when it ends.)

Lucius smiled to himself as he knocked on the door of the Dursley house, hoping to maybe catch a glance of Harry to see how the little boy was doing. He looked up when a larger man opened the door. "What do you want!" He barked out.

Lucius frowned at the man's rudeness. "Hello, my name is Lucius Malfoy. I am here to inform you that there is going to be a custody hearing for Harry Potter." He said, giving him the paperwork as well as the date. "Someone will come and get you to take you to this hearing. Please be ready before this person arrives and be prepared with anything you feel you may need for this case." He informed the man.

Vernon frowned "Why do you want that little freak in the first place? He is good for nothing but stress relief!" He growled out, going to slam the doors in the man's face.

Before Vernon could do anything Lucius had put his hand on the door and shoved him out of the way, barging into the house. He pulled out his wand and pointed it at the large man, and the women who had come out of the kitchen. "You are going to tell me where the child is now, or I will curse you." he growled out. He was going to send this man to Azkaban, even if it was the last thing he did.

Harry meanwhile, was in the cupboard under the stairs crying silently. He had heard the rucas and was really hoping somebody would come save him soon. He was so achy and hungry. Not to mention he missed his uncles. He somewhat remembered Sirius and Remus. He also remembered his friend. Harry didn't know his name, but he remembered that he liked dragons. Harry hiccuped a bit and silently hoped the man would find him and not give up.

Vernon gulped slightly as he looked at the blonde man. "If you take that freak of a boy, we aren't taking him back ever!" he shouted at the man. "Now get that stupid stick out of my face!" he shouted

Lucius snarled at the man and lowered his wand. "If you give custody of Harry to now, he will never be coming back. Just sign these papers." he said and pulled out the ones he needed. He had them drawn up just in case the Durselys didn't want to fight for Harry, and it was clear that they didn't want the poor boy. Vernon easily signed the paperwork and went over to the cupboard. He unlocked all the locks and opened the door.

"Here is the freak. Take him and get the hell out of my house now. I never want to see you again." he growled

Harry whimpered a bit as the door was opened. He looked out, wondering if he was finally free from these awful people. He jumped back a bit when he saw the blonde man kneel down in front of his cupboard. Harry stared at the man nervously, hoping he was a nice man.

Lucius frowned when he saw the state Harry was in. The poor boy was small, and clearly malnourished. Lucius also noted the boy must have not been changed often enough judging by the many stains on his pants. (After this sentence there aren't any more mentions/descriptions of abuse) "Hi sweetie." Lucius said gently, trying his best not to scare the too small boy. "My name is Lucius Malfoy, and I am here to take you away from this awful place." He said gently and held his arms out for the boy. "Why don't you come out here? I could use a nice big hug, and you seem like you give good hugs." He said gently, hoping that could coax the boy out of the cupboard.

Harry stared at the blonde man. He seemed nice and like he didn't want to hurt. Harry nodded and slowly made his way to the man. Eventually he found himself being held close by the other man. He smiled a bit, feeling safe in Lucius arms. 'Lucius, he said his name is Lucius' Harry thought to himself as he looked up at him. "I-I go away?" He asked nervously

Lucius's heartbroke when he heard Harry talk. He sounded so small and scared. Lucius nodded, "Yep, we are going far far away from this place. You are never coming back here Harry. I promise. You are going to come live with my husbands and I. We have a son that is your age. His name is Draco." He said gently as he made his way out of the house. There wasn't anything worth keeping in that cupboard. Just some broken crayons and a ratty old blanket. Lucius knew it wasn't Harry's baby blanket because Remus had it. He rubbed the little boys back as he made his way to the apparition point. "Okay Harry what I am about to do may feel a bit funny to your tummy, but I got you." He said gently

Harry nodded nervously and held onto the man tightly. Harry felt a funny feeling in his tummy but when he looked around again they were outside this huge house. Harry squirmed a bit, feeling dizzy. He laid his head on Lucius' chest as the man quickly made his way into the house. Harry needed medical attention sooner rather than later.
