Hi, hoping someone recognises this because it’s driving me mad.
I’m looking for a Harry/Lucius fic I read years ago (pretty sure AO3 but could have been FFN). Key things I remember:
- Harry is still at Hogwarts
- He and Lucius start a sexual/secret relationship – I think first contact was at Hogwarts
- They meet regularly in Hogsmeade (possibly the Hog’s Head, or just Hogsmeade in general)
- Harry is having lessons/apprenticed in a potions shop in Hogsmeade
- Lucius gets jealous and possessive – at one point he thinks Harry is involved with Bill and Fleur, but Harry actually sees Bill as more of a big brother figure
- Harry also becomes friendly with Draco, which Lucius initially misinterprets and is jealous about
Important dynamic bit:
- It’s BDSM, but at the start Harry doesn’t really understand consent/power dynamics
- He’s into Lucius but kind of just accepts whatever Lucius does (including when Lucius is rough/angry/jealous)
- Lucius realises this isn’t true consent and gives Harry a book about BDSM/consent to read on his own
Other big plot point:
- Harry has some kind of inheritance/connection to Voldemort (son, grandson, or similar) and I think they meet or Harry gets a letter from Voldemort about it
It was definitely Harry/Lucius only (no other main pairing), and Harry was naïve but willing rather than resistant.
I’ve searched AO3 tags but can’t find it – starting to wonder if it was deleted or renamed.
Does this ring a bell for anyone?
