Lucius let his eyes open slowly to the light from the dawn creeping into the window. He reached to his side but found nothing. He raised up in his elbows and looked for the gorgeous redhead that brought him back to life, but she was nowhere to be seen. He sat up and looked around again. Her gown and shoes were gone. She had left.

She had left!? Why would she leave? He pulled on his trousers and left the room, barefoot and bare-chested. He hurried down the stairs to find Severus coming out of the lounge fastening his own trousers.

“Hermione left as well?” He asked his friend.

“Yes. She left nothing, no note or message at all.” Lucius came down and entered the lounge, summoning a house elf to bring coffee for him and Severus. He threw himself into an armchair.

“Why would they do this? Was this a one night stand?” Severus understood his confusion. Lucius was not the one night stand kind of man. He had been married too long to one woman and even before his marriage he never really played the pitch. Severus had a few one night stands occasionally but never with someone he knew and never with the feeling of being rejected. He hoped she didn’t find him lacking in some way. He was sure she was pleasured just as much as he was, so why would she leave?

“If they were looking for a one night stand they would have chosen strangers. I don’t think they were aiming for a casual encounter.” He said, still confused.

“If they weren’t looking for one then why leave?” Lucius asked. “I was thinking we could have breakfast in the library garden ledge.” Severus regarded the other man. Lucius fell in love with one woman and never went to any other. He didn’t understand women, and young women at that. Severus was a teacher knew more about how girls grew up and how they viewed things.

“I think they left for other reasons. If a one night was all they wanted they would have told us outright not to expect anything.” He explained, hoping it sounded believable.

“So why leave then?” Lucius was more curious then angry. He wanted to know the motives of the woman he had connected with. Lucius sure as hell didn’t mean for the evening to end in this manner. To be honest with himself, he hadn’t intended to stay that long at the club. His son and friend had hounded him for the past few months to go out and live a little. To shut them up he said he would go, but had planned to return home after an hour or two. Meeting Ginny had been a surprise. A welcome surprise.

“I don’t know,” Severus told him, “I’m just as confused as you are.” They sipped coffee for a moment, each man thinking of the gorgeous lady he had spent the night with.

“I need to talk to her Severus. I need to know why she left.” Lucius was definite. He must have felt strongly if he was determined to speak with her. After his long mourning period Severus was glad to see the man who was the closest thing to family he had ever known take such passion in a woman. It meant he wasn’t dead inside anymore.

“I agree, I’d like to find out as well.” Severus told him. “I’m not a foolish young man to just take their leaving as the final word. We should invite them to talk. They are intelligent women. If we say we wish to speak with them, they should be willing to at least talk.”

Together the two men worded a letter. After they cleaned up and changed, they sent the owl off.

Hermione and Ginny were just finishing up coffee and croissants, as they talked. “Do you think we should have left a note or something?” Hermione asked.

Ginny thought for a moment. “They are mature men, surely a note wasn’t needed right.” She said, but didn’t really seem so sure.

“No. You’re right. I’m sure they don’t need one.” She regarded the redhead. “Do you regret it?” She asked.

“You asked that last night.” Ginny said grinning. “No I don’t, not at all.”

“Neither do I.” Hermione smiled to herself. “It was a night to remember.” Ginny returned the smile. “But there’s no use dwelling on it.” Ginny nodded.

As they cleaned up from there meal, an owl tapped at the window. The girls looked at each other, but neither one recognized the animal.

Hermione let the owl in and took the letter and read it aloud as Ginny fed him a treat.

“Miss Granger and Miss Weasley,

Lucius and myself would be most pleased if you would join us for lunch at the Manor this afternoon.

Please be assured of our sincere request and promise of a pressure free luncheon. We wish only to talk with you. Feel free to apparate inside Malfoy Manor at noon.

Lucius and Severus”

“What do we do?” Ginny asked.

“Well we can’t ignore it, but should we go?” Hermione was growing nervous. She wasn’t sure if she could see Severus. Giving in the way she had wasn’t a normal thing for her.

“I think it’s best if we just stay away.” Ginny said. Hermione noted the touch of sadness in her friends voice.

“I agree. They probably want to make sure we don’t run to the Daily Prophet and spill about how they picked up two younger women in a bar.” Hermione said. Ginny nodded obviously thinking the same thing. “The owl hasn’t flown off, so they are at least expecting a response.” Ginny nodded and just as the men had done, they quilled out a note and sent the bird off. Satisfied with what they had sent the girls changed and went about their day.

Both girls were firm in their belief that a relationship was not in the cards. Seeing the men again for something casual would be setting themselves up for hurt, and neither one of them wanted it. Hermione was concerned about the image of a teacher and former student, Ginny was concerned with the social level and her background as opposed to Lucius‘s. They were smart enough not to hope something could develop from a late night encounter.

Lucius and Severus jumped to their feet when the owl arrived.

“Gentlemen,

While Ginny and myself thank you for your invitation, we want to assure you that we make no assumptions from last night. We understand how things are and have no illusions about things that cannot be. You can be assured that we will not run to the press about what happened. We are not women who would do such a thing, so no discussion is necessary. We both thank you, for everything.

Hermione and Ginny”

Severus looked up into the bright red face of Lucius. “They think we wanted to shut them up!?”

“Apparently so.” Severus said, also angry. “This bit here about ‘how things are’, is a bit clouded though. Wouldn’t you say?”

Lucius was pacing the floor, blonde strands being thrown about. “What the hell does that mean? We know how things are? Did they think we used them?”

“I believe that there is only one way to find out.” Lucius stopped pacing and regarded the dark man.

“Yes, Severus, there is only one way.” They smiled to each other in the same way that they had when planning a Slytherin prank at age sixteen. They turned and left the lounge.
