A/N- Big thanks to Eclectic Pet for being an awesome beta! This chapter isn’t exactly nice and I wanted to warn you I feel it is a bit darker than the chapters that come before.
Sherlocked17- This chapter may cause you some worries for the baby… :/
lexiatel- Here is an update for you?
Jan- Yeah Lucius is a bit evil, but maybe Ginny likes him that way ;)
I slip out of bed very careful not to disturb her slumber. Knowing she is carrying something very special to me has become an odd and jarring feeling these days. She is far from showing her state, but there is still a new shine about her that seems to make her even more beautiful than she was before.
With a show of pure willpower, I pull myself away from her and move to get ready for my day. If there really are werewolves coming close to Hogsmeade I will have to take action as soon as I can to protect the returned asset. If they fear for their lives the peasants will have a much harder time making enough gold to pay their taxes.
I’m very curious what kind of trap Severus has in mind for the beasts. I must admit in some areas my friend’s intellect exceeds my own, but I make up for it in my understanding of people.
Maybe when I visit him today I will push for more information on the Dark Emperor's new familiar. Familiar magic can be very powerful, and if our ruler is looking to expand in power through some new kind of familiar, than it will only pay to know about it.
I arrive at the Potion Master’s lab while he is breaking his fast over a group of papers. Before he has time to react I pluck the top most off the stack and look it over.
“A muggle marriage contract? You have got to be kidding me Severus. Surely we can find you one of our kind to marry if you are looking for a wife.”
Severus just rolls his eyes at me and snatches the paper back. “This isn’t for me.” He said vanishing the notes from the table and giving me his full attention.
“Than who are Miss Granger and Mr. Piers?” I ask not to be deterred from finding out what my friend is up to.
“Mr. Piers is a recently dead muggle.” He says before taking off a rather large piece of toast to give himself time to think on what he wishes to tell me exactly.
“So Miss Granger is important to who?” I ask wondering what this could have to do with his mission for our Lord.
Severus wipes his lips once he finishes with his bite, and then takes a long sip of tea before looking at me with his usual blank expression. “I can’t tell you that Lucius. You already know the answer as there is only one man either of us actually answers to, but I can’t give you details at this time.”
“Well you’re no fun at all.” I tell him as I take the seat next to him and start to serve myself from his breakfast platter. “So than tell me what you have in mind to rid me of a werewolf problem.”
“I have a new invention.” He says smiling now as he gets to talk about his favorite subject, his own brilliance. “You know what wolfs bane potion does?” He asks only because he wants to tell me.
“That is the one that helps to calm werewolves yes?” I ask sitting back in the chair to get comfortable.
“It subdues the wolf’s mind and lets the human think even during the full moon. Though it doesn’t change the wolf’s form.”
“I see, and if they are just as disagreeable in their human form?” I ask trying to sound interested in how it all works.
“I’ve made a variant of the potion. I think I’m going to call it Blackbane. Ingested it will kill any werewolf I am sure of it.”
“Have you tested it?” I ask leaning forward a bit, though I still have no idea how we are supposed to poison a pack of wolves.
“Not yet, this will be its first test, but what do you have to lose?” He asks a bit defensively.
“So, how do we get them to drink it?” I ask knowing he won’t be as helpful if I question him further on effectiveness.
“Well there is the problem. It won’t harm any non werewolf, so what we really need is some tempting bait. We feed the potion to the bait and then leave them out for the wolves. They take even a lick of blood tainted with my potion and they are dead.”
I tap my fingers against his table in thought. “So I only need to choose some person we sacrifice to the beasts?”
“Someone truly tempting. A virgin girl would probably work best; you know what kind of animals these are.” Severus points out.
“And it would obviously have to be done during the full moon.” I say with a frown as I wonder when the next one is.
“True, because we have no idea if they eat human flesh in human form. The potion will also only stay in the bait’s system for around twelve hours.”
“That should be plenty of time if we get the right night.” I say still tapping as I think. “When is the next full moon?”
“We have two days to find someone and put them in the path of the wolves.”
“Only two days to find someone that I don’t mind killing?” I sigh getting to my feet. “I better get to work.”
Ginny-
This is the first day since we found out about the baby that I haven’t spent at Lucius’ side. I woke this morning alone in his bed. Over breakfast I try not to dwell on the odd feeling of loss and focus on my own busy day.
“Mistress has the carpenter at ten and the draper at one.” Heety explains as I nibble on some toast.
“Are you sure I’m supposed to be doing this all myself. I’ve never decorated a room before.” I tell her thinking even my own room was designed by someone else.
“This Mistress’ job. Mistress need start doing her job.” The elf tells me in the kindest voice she can.
“But what if he hates it?” I ask setting the toast down.
Everything in our marriage so far has been so very controlled by my husband that the idea of doing something real on my own makes me nervous. I try to shake this off. I’m stronger than this and I can do things without his direction.
“Than Mistress be punished?” Heety suggests honestly.
My breath catches at this suggestion and the image of me making it ugly on purpose flashes briefly through my mind. I shake this off but I can’t keep the blush from my cheeks. “What am I turning into?” I murmur softly.
“Perfect wife for Master.” Heety answers with a smile.
I fidget as I think of how right she really is. With him being around so often it has been hard to really think of how he affects me, but this morning I have time to mull over how much he treats me like an object. I can dwell on the fact he makes me enjoy the treatment.
“He’s turning you into a play thing for his own enjoyment.” A snide voice says from the doorway echoing my own fears.
Looking up I see Draco there with a mean smile on his face. “I heard the happy news.” He says moving into the dining room looking me up and down as if he could already tell. “I’m glad all his expensive charms and potions worked at least.”
“Draco.” I greet him trying for a friendly smile that feels a bit tight on my face. “I haven’t seen you around recently.”
“I’ve been working to stay out of father’s way. I hear he left you alone today so I’ve come to keep you company.” He says as he sits down next to me at the table.
As soon as he settles himself another plate a food appears along with his morning tea.
“So Lucius is making you keep an eye on me.” I conclude watching him closely as I lose my appetite completely.
“Well we wouldn’t want anything to happen to my little brother.” He says starting in on his own breakfast.
“It could be a sister.” I point out putting a hand on my stomach as I once again think about the small life now inside me. It is so strange to think that I’m not alone in my own body any longer.
“Oh you better hope not. I think my father would beat you senseless if you didn’t give him the son he wants.” Draco points out casually as he pops a piece of sausage into his mouth.
“I have no control over what sex the child is. Your father is an educated man and would know that.” I defend with a frown. The smile that spreads across Draco’s face makes me doubt my own words.
“You keep thinking that, but don’t come to me if he doesn’t get what he wants.” He says obviously enjoying my distress.
“I think I’m done here.” I tell him standing suddenly. I want more than anything to be away from his cruel smile.
“Sit down girl.” He orders pointing to the chair. “Do you think my father would thank me if I let you starve yourself. You’ve hardly touched your plate.”
“Don’t call me girl. I’m Ginny or Lady Malfoy, and you have no control over me.” I tell him standing straighter trying to seem more in control than I really felt.
“Listen to me girl.” He says getting up from his seat in a slow menacing pace. “You are my father’s property. You are a thing he is using for his amusement and give me the brothers our laws require. I will call you whatever I like and you will do as you are told. Now sit.” He finished with a hiss as he jabbed a finger at my vacant chair.
I glare at him my fingers itching to pull my wand on him, but Lucius has reprimanded me for that before. Draco is his beloved first son and the heir of Malfoy.
“I am your father’s wife, which means under the law I am his property in many respects.” I agree trying to keep my voice calm and my chin high. “But it is Lord Malfoy who is my husband, not the brat prince. So you can just go and sod off.”
With that I turn on my heels with a flitter of green silk and head towards the door. When I feel the spell fly past me I freeze in shock. I didn’t think he would dare even try to curse me now that I was definitely with child. I turn slowly back towards him. I find my wand is already in my hand but I have no real memory of retrieving it from my pocket. When I see the smug grin on his face, so arrogant, so sure of himself, my wand is up and ready before I speak.
“How dare you!” I growl as my ears ring with the pure fury I feel in the moment. “IC-tus!” I cast before I give him any time to respond.
The stinging hex lands on his shoulder as he tried to move out of its way at the last moment. “You crazy bitch!” He yells back pressing his off hand against the wound.
“You tried to curse me!” I say before casting the same hex again. This time he was ready and blocked it with a simple defensive spell.
“How dumb do you think I am?” He asked before he returned a spell of his own. “ex-pel-ee-AR-mus!”
When my wand flies from my hand I decide it’s better to take him down with my bare hands. I lunge over the table and try to tackle him to the ground. Unfortunately, he seems to expect this and before I know it, I have Draco pinning me to the ground and holding my wrists to keep my nails from his face.
“I wasn’t trying to curse you. All I did was lock the door. Now calm down.” He says squeezing my wrists just to hurt me. I see his own anger boiling in his eyes as he works not to take that anger out on me.
Without a wand, I’m weak and we both know it. But that knowledge does nothing to abate my rage. “You had no right to cast any spells in my direction.” I growl still struggling under him.
“I have every right to protect a woman of my family. You belong to the house of Malfoy. You will respect me girl.” He says in a low dangerous voice leaning down over me.
“Get off of me!” I scream in his face.
Moving both wrists to one hand he places the other over my mouth and presses down to keep me from screaming more. I bite his hand as hard as I can and he backhands me hard across the face.
“You will learn respect!” He growls again holding my wrists more tightly. “I thought my father would have taught you at least a bit by now.”
Being hit does nothing to calm my fury and I rage against him trying everything I can think of to kick him off of me. “You hit me!” I scream trying to throw him off.
“Do you want me to do it again!” Draco yells back working to hold me in place as his free hand goes to my neck.
“Do you really think daddy is going to be happy that you hit me!?” I ask gasping for air as I wear myself out.
“In self-defense?” He asks with a knowing smirk. “You threw the first spell little slut.” He reminds me and grins as he shows me the teeth mark I left on his hand. “I think he’ll thank me for putting you in your place. Now are you going to be a good girl and eat?”
I spit in his face as I’m not in any sort of mood to give into this bully's demands. “Let me go!” I snap as if he didn’t already get my point.
He studies me for a long moment before drawing out his wand, a truly cruel smile forms on his lips. “im-PEER-ee-oh.”
A wave of haze fills my mind and I feel all the anger and frustration from the fight just flow out of my body. Far away someone is telling me to sit at the table and finish my breakfast. Suddenly it seems like the most natural thing to be doing in that moment.
There is a slight nagging voice at the back of my mind telling me I don’t want this, but without the worries of my day I find I actually am rather ravenous. As I eat the person keeps talking to me. He explains that he is only using magic on me for my own good, and the good of my child.
I nod my agreement to everything he says. The voice just seems so logical and right. He explains that I’m not even the most valuable thing his father owns. He explains that once I’m done helping to continue the Malfoy line that his father will start selling me like the whore I am. He makes me agree that this will make me happy.
When the mist finally clears I have a hard time remembering exactly what was said and what I did, but I find that Draco and I are standing in the nursery. I have a lasting feeling of embarrassment and Draco is grinning like he has something on me.
“What did you do to me? What was that spell?” I ask pulling back from him and putting my hand on my stomach.
“Nothing that will hurt the baby.” He says rolling his eyes. “But if you ever disrespect me again I will show father the memory of you begging me to fuck you.”
“I’ll tell him what you did to me.” I say blushing as images of kneeling at his feet flash in my mind.
“What did I do to you?” He asks his face the picture of innocence.
“This is going to backfire on you; I don’t even know how to lie to your father.”
“I would never ask you to lie.” Draco says mockingly shocked by my statement. “What kind of man do you think I am?”
“You don’t want the answer to that.” I tell him looking around the room. “I can do this alone.” I add after a moment.
He smirks shaking his head. “It’s my job to watch you today. Now be a good girl and sit down before someone important gets here.”
Lucius-
When I finally get home that night I find no sign of Ginevra. I’ve missed dinner at the manor but somehow I was expecting to find her in our common room waiting for me. When she isn’t there, I look in my office, and then the nursery to see if she is still working.
There are lots of samples of fabrics and sketches laying around, but no Ginevra. Annoyed by the complete disappearance of my wife I call for her house elf. “Heety.” I snap making my way back towards my room.
“Heety is here Master.” The little elf says as she appears behind me.
“Where is my wife?” I ask making the elf keep up with me.
“Mistress in her room Master. Mistress tell Heety to tell Master she has headache.” The little elf squeaks.
I turn on the elf as I get to my door and narrow my eyes. “She what?”
“Mistress tell Heety to tell Master she has headache. She not come out.” The elf adds trying to look smaller.
“Why is my wife hiding in her room?” I ask leaning over to intimidate the elf all the more.
“Mistress not tell Heety. But Mistress very upset with Master Draco today.” It adds in an even higher pitch.
“Do you know what happened?” I ask wondering which of them I need to take over my knee now. I just don’t understand why they can’t get along.
“Master Draco tell Heety to go away.” The little thing says making me roll my eyes. “Heety not see anything.”
I shake my head and decide it is better to head to my son’s room first. If he sent the elf away more than likely he is the cause of whatever happened today. I don’t bother knocking as I am in no mood for delays. With a flick of my wand, his doors fly open. I found Draco sitting at his desk writing a letter.
“You shouldn’t believe anything that slut told you father.” He says getting up as soon as he sees me.
“Which slut would that be Draco?” I ask already knowing I have the right target.
“I didn’t do anything to her. She is the one that attacked me!” He says getting agitated.
“Start at the beginning.” I say lowering my wand on him. I wouldn’t actually harm my son, well nothing permanent anyway.
“She was disrespecting this family. She hexed me and when I simply disarmed her she tried to scratch my eyes out.” Draco says holding his head high. “She went absolutely crazy because I told her she had to finish her breakfast.”
“You had a fight with my pregnant wife over breakfast?” I ask starting to get to the bottom of things. “And that is why she has locked herself in her room?”
“She was out of control.” He held his ground. “And I only did what was best for this family.”
I lower my wand looking my son in the eyes. “If something ever happens with her again, you are not to take care of anything yourself. Send her to my room and inform me. Do I make myself clear?”
Draco rolls his eyes shaking his head. “Yes father.’ He says taking a seat at his desk once again. “But I did handle things just fine without you.”
“And that is why she has locked herself in her room.” I tell him shaking my own head as I head towards the door.
“She is a brat is why she locked herself in her room.” Draco says to his paper.
“Ah yes, but she is my brat.” I remind him before heading back to my room. I’ll give her the night to cool off.
