During the two years Harry had been with the Malfoy family Harry had grown a lot physically and as a person due to the love and attention he received from them all.

He had finally had the message drilled into him that asking for help was perfectly okay and was fully expected.

Additionally he had bonded a lot more with Severus after finally having the long needed talk about what had happened and how he felt about everything.

And now they were throwing him a party for his 17th Birthday after revealing to them that he had never had a real party and hadn't been confident enough to tell anyone last year and so they had all assumed that he hadn't wanted anything done. That had lead to a lot of apologies once they had all realised what had happened and they still felt bad about it even though Harry had reassured them multiple times that if he had really wanted something done he could have said.

So that meant that Harry was now sitting on the sofa opening present after present with a big smile on his face for the multitude of pictures that Lucius was taking.

So far he had received plenty of items that he wasn't even sure he needed but it was making him happy that they thought him worth the expense and Harry knew it made Draco happy to buy him things.

Harry was also pretty sure Severus was trying to make up for 15 years of missed birthdays as well.

But even though he was getting showered in love and presents Harry still felt nervous.

After finally opening the last present and momentarily thinking that this was what Dudley must have been feeling every single time before he managed to banish the thought he reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of folded paper.

Harry stared at it briefly before quickly placing it onto the table and bolting out the room.

The others stared after him before Severus got up quickly and looked at the paper.

Severus's face turned white as he read what was on the paper causing both Lucius and Draco to jump up and stride over to him.

Lucius and Draco both looked down to the paper in Severus's hands.

Lucius somehow managed to become even paler whereas Draco just muttered, 'All it is is an address.'

Severus spoke quietly, 'I asked him where he lived before when he first arrived here but he said not to ask.'

Draco too paled as he realised the importance of just a few words and strode out the room to find Harry leaving Severus and Lucius alone in the room.

They looked at one another and had a silent conversation before both walked out the room together.

Later on Severus and Lucius walked into the living room where they found Harry sprawled out on the sofa with his head in Draco's lap as Draco carded his fingers through Harry's hair.

Severus put the cup cake he had brought with him down on the table before moving to sit on the sofa along with Lucius.

Severus glanced at Lucius before Lucius spoke as they both watched as Harry stared at the ceiling.

'They won't be hurting anyone anymore Harry.' Lucius spoke softly not wanting to startle Harry.

After a moment or two as Harry didn't respond Severus and Lucius began to worry before Harry started crying and rolled over into Draco.

Severus and Lucius both reached over as Draco continued to stoke Harry's hair.

'It's all over now. You don't have to worry about them anymore.' Severus said softly to Harry as Lucius stroked Harry's arm.

They knew the next few weeks would be rough but they hoped that now without them hanging over Harry's head constantly now he would be able to heal and they would all help him.

Because after all they were family.

So this is a new direction and Tom's not in it but he will be in the next.

Anyhow this was the result of a four hour flight and nothing else to do so I hope you all enjoy it.
