- “I am afraid I have to ask.” Lucius began, watching Eriko as she sat at his desk – his desk! - and went over the guest list once more, memorizing names and faces, especially those names underlined in red, completely oblivious to the man standing in the door. “How in the name of all things holy is it that I wake every morning at an ungodly hour to you and your twin on my doorstep?”
“Whatever do you mean, Mr. Malfoy?” Eriko glanced up, blinking innocently at him. It was that look that threw him – and finally drove him to understand why she was so powerful in the Ministry. “Why, we are only here to support our sister.”
“...don't look at me like that!” He snapped, glowering at her as her face crumpled slightly. “It's a ruse and we both know it. And you know exactly what I mean, Ms. Satoshi!” He watched as she calmly stacked the guest list and photos, making sure it was perfectly neat before she looked up to him once more, no longer wearing the facade of innocence.
“I am in the unique class of priestess trained to completely dismantle a ward of immense power in less than a second. It takes me even less time to restore it to its original state.” A single slender brow arched as she watched that information sink in, horror dawning on his face. “That is correct. I have dismantled and restored all three hundred and seventy two wards around Malfoy Manor, every morning for the past week. And it takes me under ten minutes to do so.”
“That...that isn't possible. That can't be possible!” He staggered to a chair, dropping into it. “You couldn't possibly-”
“Would you like me to prove it? I know I have been doing it too quickly for you to catch it in the mornings while you sleep. Here.” She glanced towards the window, her eyes emptying as her hands lifted, fingers shifting slightly. Within the span of a few minutes – she was obviously showing off by going quite quickly – he found himself sensing the complete absence of protection on his home. She let that feeling set in, as he realized the alarms that should have sounded when someone tampered with the wards never so much as whispered. Then, within only a minute, the wards were back – the breath he had not realized he held rushed out, his gaze turning to the young woman before him.
“...I stand corrected.” There was no masking the worries that came to mind at this demonstration, and she merely smiled as she saw them flickering across his face.
“Indeed. It is hardly pleasant to realize there is someone out there who could kill you all in your sleep with none the wiser...the perfect crime, ne?” A little tilt of her head, the smile widening. “And even less so when you realize you never even knew it was possible...”
“What are you saying, Ms. Satoshi?” Lucius stood, eyes narrowing as he recognized the blatant threat that could be found in her words.
“If I sense so much as one thing wrong with Hermione...you can expect to find me in some random supposedly inaccessible place in your home...like one of the bedrooms. Perhaps you will wake in the midst of the night to find me sitting on your armoire...”
“Eriko!” The voice came from the now wide-open door, where Hermione, Narcissa, and Akiko now stood in a line just inside, Hermione and Akiko mirror images, hands on their hips as they glowered at the darker of the twins.
“Put those down right now!” Akiko scolded, as she and Hermione stalked farther into the room, both looking annoyed. Akiko had no problem seeing the strands of energy that still lead from Eriko's fingertips to the wards, and she was not pleased.
“Are you seriously going to do this again?” Hermione joined in, both standing on either side of Lucius as he blinked over to his wife...who looked like she was due to burst into laughter at any second. “Honestly, Eriko! This is my future father-in-law you're threatening!”
“There is absolutely no reason for you to be making threats and you know it, Eriko!” Akiko now had a finger pointed at her twin, shaking it as she proceeded to drop into rapid, irritated-sounding Japanese, gesturing wildly all the while. When she finally wound down – Narcissa by this point in laughter, Hermione just waiting for the chance to carry on where Akiko left off – Eriko simply raised a hand, twisting the first two fingers just slightly in the air. As Hermione went into her tirade, while her lips moved no sound came out – and while she was getting more furious all the while, Eriko merely smiled.
“Of course there was reason, dear sisters. I never do anything without reason, as you both know quite well. In fact, there were three reasons for this.” She lifted one finger, smiling all the while. “First, I wanted to make it absolutely clear that Hermione still has family. Second, I was merely demonstrating that I have enough power to completely decimate anyone that poses a threat to my family. And last, I was testing Hermione to see if she would rush to the defense of her future father-in-law. If she had not, I would have had to protest the rush of this marriage.”
Still silenced, Hermione began gesturing wildly and it looked like she would have been shrieking at her adopted sister if she had voice, while Akiko paused, realizing her sister did have a point. Narcissa was laughing too hard to stand, leaving Lucius – who was looking as though he approved of this little escapade – to hold her up until she managed to calm down.
When Hermione finally calmed down, Lucius gave his thoughts on Eriko's motives at long last, a smirk on his lips and respect in his eyes.
“Touché, Ms. Satoshi. Touché.”
Author's Note:
For those of you unfortunate enough to have caught the previous chapter early on, I apologize for the messed up state it was in at that time. -.- Apparently now that I have a mac, uploading files will cause this no matter what I do. ::Grumble.:: A big thank you to Desolate Insiration, who fixed that chapter for me (Yay twin!) while I was running amok with school things and people things.
This is more filler than anything – and I wanted to write this so much, the concept just set me off in giggles even before I sat down to write it – but enjoy nevertheless! - You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.
