Summary
     Lucius would have expected that defiant spark and that innocence to
     have faded. It hadn’t, even after almost three years. That was why he
     kept coming back for more.
Notes
     Sequel to The Cost of Change. Set sometime just after Harry’s
     seventeenth birthday (though the original fic has implied chan with a
     14 year old, so be warned).
It always shocked him in a completely delicious sort of way. By the second,
third and even forth time he had his way with the young whore, Lucius would
have expected that defiant spark and that overall feeling of persevering
innocence reflected in those eyes to have faded into black nothingness. It
hadn’t, even after almost three years. That was why he kept coming back for
more.
He ushered the boy – nearly a man now, to be honest, but that daring way his
eyes challenged Lucius wouldn’t allow him to think of him as anything other
than a slightly naïve boy – into a room for which he’d paid to stay the entire
night. Regardless of any talent the boy may show at drawing out the inevitable
just so, Lucius knew it would not take until morning for him to satisfy his
needs, at least for the moment. It paid to be prepared, though, and a Malfoy
never did anything by halves. In the worst case, the boy could stay here the
night alone and be more rested – and perhaps more disposed to doing his bidding
without question – the next time Lucius had need of him. Lucius doubted it
would be too long, after all. It never was.
As usual, it was a dingy sort of place that was cheap but reasonably clean. It
was one of the more upscale places the boy was likely to have conducted his
business over the years, even though it was located deep within Knockturn Alley
and Lucius could have easily afforded far better.
They frequented that particular level of accommodation because it was expected
that a patron of his kind would only spend so much for a night of debauchery.
Comfort took a backseat to financial practicality in this modern world. Lucius
sneered at such low-class ideals. He certainly had no need of them. However, in
the current political environment, even a Malfoy couldn’t afford to call any
undue attention to himself and the fact that he took part in this sort of
behaviour. It would reflect badly on his Lord, and that could hardly bode well
for him. Lucius may have almost become accustomed to the Cruciatus Curse nearly
two decades after first agreeing to serve the Dark Lord, but there were worse
things he could be subjected to, as his Lord routinely demonstrated when his
servants deigned to disobey or humiliate him.
One day the Dark Lord would rule outright rather than by merely having a
decisive influence on the Ministry of Magic’s actions. When that day came, no
one but the Dark Lord himself would ever question Lucius’s actions again. To
have one man wield such total control over him was certainly a worrying thought
for a man like Lucius, who preferred to command his own affairs. However, at
least the Dark Lord was steering the wizarding world, and Lucius himself,
towards a goal that Lucius was willing to suffer a small amount to achieve,
unlike anything the Ministry had ever done (for even in its present state of
being slowly taken over by those loyal to the Dark Lord, no decisive moves in
that direction could yet be made).
If nothing else, it would be a relief to be able to make progress without the
subterfuge that was currently necessary to keep the masses content.
Until then, Lucius was willing, if not entirely content, to practice the
discretion required to keep his rendezvous with his little street urchin mostly
secret. Secret from anyone who actually mattered, at least.
Once they were inside the room, the boy turned questioning eyes on Lucius,
waiting to be instructed as to what kind of pleasure Lucius sought tonight. He
knew that, at this stage, the boy would usually arrange exactly what his client
would receive and demand payment for just that before his hand so much as
strayed towards the top button of the customer’s robes with intent. Lucius,
however, was a highly valued client. The boy knew that Lucius would pay him for
whatever activities progressed. He also understood that it was in his best
interests not to draw attention to the fact that what they were doing was
taking money out of Lucius’s coin purse until it became absolutely necessary.
Lucius may have been rich, but it displeased him to be reminded how much money
he was spending when there should be other more pressing matters on his mind.
It felt strange to Lucius to be trusted in such a way, though. The boy, in
essence, was showing his confidence that Lucius wouldn’t cheat him at the end
of it all, and Lucius was not accustomed to such a demonstration. The Mark
burned into his arm usually inspired the opposite reaction, though the boy
seemed intent on simply ignoring its existence. People respected him grudgingly
for being one of the Dark Lord’s most favoured servants, but they certainly
didn’t trust him. Even the Dark Lord himself did not trust him entirely. The
constant threat of harm coming to Narcissa and Draco being held over his head
kept Lucius ever conscious of that.
He didn’t really want to be thinking about Draco when he had this boy, who was
the same age as his son and so very like him under the darker exterior,
standing before him ready and willing to do as Lucius liked.
“Undress,” he ordered after a moment of consideration. “And then undress me.”
It was familiar territory for the boy. He made quick work of his own clothing,
since Lucius had not asked him to make a show of it, but when he moved toward
the older man, his movements were slower and somehow more purposeful. Lucius
Malfoy, after all, did not have his clothes yanked off quickly. They were
removed with finesse, or the one removing them would have to be reminded that
they were servicing a Malfoy, not the normal gutter trash of wizarding society
that probably used this boy and his kin.
Lucius slipped his wand purposefully out of his robe. Though many of the
Knockturn Alley whores owned their own wands despite being largely unable to
use the equipment as intended, he knew this particular boy did not have a wand
in his possession. Lucius was careful never to risk having the boy gain control
of his wand. He was quite certain that it would be a bad idea to let this
particular child have any measure of power over him, even for a moment. It
hardly mattered that the boy wasn’t likely to be able to perform any spells
that weren’t taught in the first three years at Hogwarts, and thus nothing that
Lucius couldn’t handle, even unarmed. The point was that the mere possibility
of him having a wand where Lucius did not was simply unfathomable.
So Lucius’s hand clenched in a protective fist around the shaft of wood. Only
then did he allow the boy to reach for the top of the row of clasps that held
his immaculate black robes closed.
As each clasp unfastened under the boy’s nimble fingers, lips leaned in and
traced every curve of skin that was revealed in a descending line. Lucius
narrowed his eyes with want as those lips eventually met his navel and the wet
touch of a tongue darted into the hollow.
Lucius considered spelling the rest of his clothing off and taking a more
proactive approach to caring for the rock-hard length that had been steadily
intensifying since the boy had looked at him just so out on the street.
However, he knew better. Drawing out every intoxicating moment would only make
the end sweeter, and Lucius intended to entirely get his money’s worth.
Besides, the boy had long since become a practised whore, and he knew just how
to let Lucius’s pleasure build to just the right point.
That didn't mean, though, that Lucius didn’t have an idea of his own as to how
he might accomplish that. The passing of his years had certainly not gone
unmarked in that respect. He was just as capable of dragging the boy to the
edge and dangling him there until it suited him to push him over.
The boy fell to his knees in order to continue in his work, but his mouth
ceased its actions in favour of gracing Lucius with a knowing smile. When the
last button was flicked open, the boy stood, and Lucius noted with mild
satisfaction that he sported an erection to match the one poking out of the gap
in Lucius’s own robes, though the boy’s was much more obvious against its naked
canvas. The whore reached out and pushed the robes out of the way, leaving them
hanging gingerly on the cusp of Lucius’s shoulders, while the boy paid his
previously covered nipples the attention they deserved.
Lucius made no noise throughout this. He would not allow the boy the
satisfaction of hearing him vulnerable until he had really earned that
opportunity. Lucius would hear the boy’s cries, and perhaps even his begging,
long before he returned the favour.
However, when sharp teeth flicked the nub on the left side of his chest
persistently, Lucius had to dig his own teeth into his bottom lip to muffle the
groan that would have otherwise spilled forth. As punishment for the boy’s
impudence, he spun his wand to target the boy’s back and cast a Stinging Hex.
The boy yelped, bolting upright at the same time as he jumped away from the
source of the pain. Lucius was hardly upset that this action drove him right up
against his chest.
He brought his free hand around the boy’s smarting lower back to hold him in
place and thrust his hips into the boy’s. He saw green eyes flutter shut as
Lucius gyrated against him. The friction was almost too much for both of them
for a moment, Lucius sensed, and he pushed the boy away. His face showed
nothing of how near he was when the young whore’s eyes opened to survey him
once more.
Lucius stepped backward toward the bed and fell gracefully onto his back,
pulling the boy with him so that the younger man lay on top of him. It might
have seemed, in that moment, to any outsider that it was the boy and not the
man with the wand who was in control of the situation, but neither of the
parties involved had any illusions of that sort. They both knew exactly who was
dominating whom.
“Suck me,” Lucius demanded, as if to prove just that.
The boy shimmied compliantly down Lucius’s body, his stomach and chest creating
barely-there friction that only elevated Lucius’s excitement levels, until it
was the boy’s mouth that was finally in close proximity to Lucius’s cock.
A teasing flick of the boy’s practised tongue, and then another, preceded the
sensation of his cock being swallowed whole. Had he not already been on the
edge, he might have berated the boy for moving so quickly and not building up
to the moment when Lucius’s cock would hit the back of his throat. He felt,
however, that in this case the mere anticipation of it had been more than
enough build up.
It would have been almost perfect if the boy had chosen that moment to look up
and glare at him with the complete and utter hatred Lucius felt that his
position should have awarded him. In all their encounters, he had never seen
such an expression on the boy’s face. He longed to, though he was also slightly
apprehensive of that moment, should it ever come, for it might well end the
mystery that drove him back again and again. There would always be an itch that
Narcissa couldn’t quite alleviate, no matter how much she might wish to, and
Lucius didn’t at all look forward to the day when he would have to search for a
different young man to help relieve him; a time when the boy was no longer
enough.
The look never came, though. Lucius had tried all manner of activities to
prompt it, but the boy seemed largely immune to his attempts. For all that he
gave off that air of innocence, the boy had clearly been jaded long before he
ever started working the streets. The world had not been kind to him, and it
gratified Lucius a little to know that he had been a part of that cruelty.
When those eyes did meet his, they weren’t full of fake passion, as many whores
were prone to displaying. However, nor did they hold more than extremely mild
distaste for Lucius and what the older man was making him do. It wasn’t quite
enough, but Lucius had learned to work with it. He could do so again.
A cry that obviously didn’t come from the boy, since Lucius could not feel the
vibrations of it around his cock, echoed through the small room. Lucius flicked
the wand he still held in a death grip at the door, which he noted was abruptly
glowing red-hot. The door’s colour faded back to normal and then the wooden
barrier was flung back to reveal the man who had tripped the wards Lucius had
set on the door to ensure his privacy. The man cradled his left hand gingerly,
pain evident on his face even through the sheet of dark hair partially
obscuring the expression. Even from where Lucius lay he could see that the
other man’s hand had been burnt, though not too severely, where he had rested
it on the door prior to the door’s sudden increase in temperature as the
contact tripped the wards.
“I don’t appreciate unannounced voyeurs,” Lucius chastised. “Either come inside
or leave.”
For the barest moment Lucius thought that Severus looked tempted even apart
from the accusing look in his eyes. The other man seemed to push aside his
physical pain in order to survey the scene, his eyes almost glazed with lust at
the sight of the boy in all his naked glory, still obediently bobbing his head
in between Lucius’s legs despite all of the distraction.
But then the boy’s head shot up from Lucius’s cock so quickly that the older
man was surprised he didn’t feel the burn of scraping teeth. He imagined it had
just occurred to the whore what exactly Lucius was offering, and that it was
going to impact upon him personally.
“That’s never been part of our arrangement,” he spat out, glaring at Lucius
indignantly. He then turned to glare at the other man in kind. “It’ll cost a
lot extra, even if he’s just watching.”
But then the boy’s green eyes went wide in recognition as they settled upon the
greasy Potions professor standing just outside the doorway.
Severus’s eyes went similarly wide. “I don’t think so, Lucius,” he said.
“Unlike you, I don’t seek my pleasure from children. Tell me, do you think of
Draco when you are with him, or does the thought of screwing the Boy Who Lived
suffice?”
Lucius merely smirked. “Oh, he certainly has his own merits. Are you sure you
don’t want to sample them?”
“He’s a child!” Severus hissed venomously. “He was my student!”
“That was years ago,” Lucius said dismissively. “And if I recall, you never
treated him much like any other student of yours anyway. A little special
treatment now wouldn’t be unreasonable or out of character.”
“I’m not a child! I’m seventeen.” Harry Potter responded angrily, barely
waiting for Lucius to say his piece. Lucius’s eyes dropped down to where the
boy was still half-lying on his legs, but had swivelled around so he could look
at his old teacher, the erection before him now forgotten even though it had
barely diminished. For the first time Lucius saw real loathing in those eyes.
He’d never seen anything so promising in his life.
“You will always be a child, Potter, in every way that counts,” Severus
retorted. “You ensured that the moment you walked away from Hogwarts and any
possible chance – the issue of your obvious mental incapacity aside – that you
might have had a worthwhile, gainful future as an adult.” He glowered at the
boy, and then at Lucius once more for good measure. Then he stalked away from
the room, the door magically slamming shut in his wake.
“I never had any future,” the boy muttered indignantly, though Lucius imagined
that he wasn’t meant to hear his words. He was glad he had, all the same.
Lucius looked at the boy speculatively. “Change of plans, Potter,” he said
smoothly, as if they had not just found Severus Snape listening in on their
activities, only to have him leave moments later in a huff. He pushed the boy
off him. “Bend over the side of the bed with your arms out in front of you.”
Potter was no stranger to these games, Lucius knew. He himself had used the boy
in such a way on occasion (though admittedly not often, since the boy’s dislike
of this sort of activity meant that he charged exorbitant amounts for it, which
Lucius could have easily afforded but still preferred not to part with unless
absolutely necessary).
This, however, would be different.
“How do you want me, Master?” the boy asked, slipping into character. Lucius
could hear the distaste in his voice, as always, but it was still not that
quite the out-and-out hatred or resentment that he craved.
Lucius smirked. “New rules tonight. You will not call me Master.”
Potter looked surprised when he turned to look in the direction of Lucius
standing behind him.
“What d’you want, then?”
Lucius rubbed his hand over Potter’s arse in anticipation. “You will refer to
me as Professor.”
He saw the boy’s eyes darken slightly in anger.
“No,” he said, suddenly struggling to get up.
Lucius’s hand pushed down on his back and held him in place. His other hand,
his wand hand, raised to point at the boy’s extended arms, and shackles
appeared around his too-thin wrists. The attached chains fastened immediately
onto the headboard at the opposite end of the bed, jerking the boy’s arms
straight and holding them suspended. The rest of his upper body was pushed flat
into the mattress. The shorter board of wood at the bottom of the bed trapped
his erection – still as hard as ever, much like Lucius’s own – against his
abdomen.
“You will,” Lucius responded, “or I won’t come by again.”
It was a pointless ultimatum, since both of them knew that Potter couldn’t
afford to lose Lucius Malfoy’s custom. He probably accounted for a third of
what the brat had earned in the past year alone.
Potter mulled it over for all of half a second, as if there was actually a
decision to be made.
“All right,” he said grudgingly, “but this will cost you more as well.”
As Potter flattened his chest against the bed once more, Lucius caught the
flash of emotion in his eyes that he’d been looking for since the night had
begun – no, since their interactions as a whole had first commenced. He smiled.
Whatever the price the boy asked would be worth it.
He caressed his wand thoughtfully.
“Beg me,” he said.
Potter resisted for a moment, but folded almost pitifully quickly, all things
considered. He still hadn’t lost that look from his eyes, though, and that was
what mattered to Lucius.
“I’ve been bad, Professor,” Potter responded. It was said almost tonelessly but
for the slight catch in the boy’s voice at the word ‘Professor’. “Please punish
me. I deserve it.”
Luckily, no amount of bad acting could ruin that moment for him. He’d seen the
loathing in those green eyes.
When the first burn of a magical lash scorched the boy’s back, Potter cried out
his anguish and his anger as he tried to jerk away from the pain. Unlike when
he’d been subjected to the Stinging Hex, there was no haven of arms to jump
into, only a mostly unyielding mattress. There would be no mercy.
Lucius savoured the moment and prepared for the next blow.
“Don’t worry, Mr Potter,” he said, making his voice sound deep and slightly
oily. “This is just like having points deducted. You still have yet to actually
serve your detention. I’m quite certain you’ll enjoy it.”
