“We could walk through my wing and then down to yours.” Draco offered, thinking of his mental maps of the Manor.

“Too much time spent walking in a place they could easily check. No, we have to get over to the east side of the Manor without them being able to see us.”

“Underground then?” Draco asked, a slight tinge of fear in his voice.

“Yes. No Death Eater would look there.”

“Um, Mr. Malfoy, are you sure you can walk that far?” Harry asked as he surveyed exactly how much damage Lucius had been through.

“You’d be surprised what adrenaline and Veriae magic can do towards ignoring one’s wounds.” Lucius drawled. “Once we’re out of this magic forsaken tower, I’ll be fine.”

Leaning heavily on his son, Lucius stood on shaky limbs, and the three of them made their way towards the base of the tower.

“Where are we going exactly?” Harry asked, as they made their way down the steps. Neither of the two Malfoys had explained their conversation from before and he had no idea what they were talking about.

“The dungeons run underneath the north to west wall.” Lucius explained in a ragged voice. “We’re going to walk through them to get to the west wing and then walk down the corridor that leads to my study.”

“No one goes down there.” Draco said with conviction. “Even if every Malfoy to live here has memorized it passageways, it’s still not a good place to go by yourself.”

At the bottom of the steps a small shriek greeted them.

“Master! You is so hurt! Let Diddy help—”

“No. I’ll be fine.”

The House Elf cowered uncertainly at her Master’s feet. “If you is saying so, Master,” she said sadly.

“Harry Potter, is you ok?” Harry looked down to see Dobby’s eyes looking up at him with concern, as if checking to see if Lucius’s ailments were also Harry’s.

“Yes, I’m fine.”

“Dobby is happy to hear that!”

Dobby’s eyes swept over the elder Malfoy and he pressed himself further into Harry’s shadow.

Lucius ignored the House Elf, and addressed Harry. “Request that your House Elf connect the floo in my study to the one in the Headmaster’s office. I don’t want to waste time walking through the halls of Hogwarts as well.”
