Chapter
Fourteen � The Malfoy Manor

A tiny pair of footsteps was making way towards the dining room.
Lucius looked up from his copy of the Daily Prophet just in time to see Jessica
making her morning appearance. She smiled at him half dreamily, clearly not
remembering nor caring that she�d bid him a sour goodnight the previous
evening.

�Good
morning, Jessica,� Lucius greeted happily before taking a delicate sip of black
coffee.

�Morning,
Mr. Malfoy,� Jessica returned, sounding far more cheerful than he�d anticipated.
�A beautiful morning, isn�t it?�

Lucius
cocked an eyebrow, secretly knowing what could have placed her in such
agreeable spirits. �Indeed,� he agreed. �I trust you slept well.� He watched
her carefully as he raised the edge of his coffee mug to his lips again.

�Yes,
thank you,� Jessica replied. �And yourself?� Although she hardly cared whether
or not Lucius had had a good night�s sleep, she blamed her forthcoming
pleasantness on the vivid dream she�d had of Severus nibbling on her neck and
kissing her in a new and uniquely passionate way. She raised her fingers to her
neck and gently began to stroke the skin his lips had touched.

�Quite
well,� Lucius answered and keenly watched as Jessica began absentmindedly
tracing her fingers up and down along the trail of last night�s kisses. Lucius
took a small bite of his croissant and remembered feeling quite content going
upstairs to Narcissa to fulfill the needs his encounter with Jessica had
generated.

�Have
there been any messages for me?� Jessica asked in a voice that was readily
anticipating a disappointing answer.

�No,�
Lucius said and shook his head like Jessica knew he would. �But if you would
like to sit down and write your dear Severus before we begin today, I�ll have a
quill and parchment brought to your rooms.�

�I�d
like that. Thank you,� she said quietly before dropping her hand back to her
lap.

�You�re
quite welcome,� Lucius assured.

�While
you are a guest in my Manor I intend to be most accommodating, as you very well
know.�

Jessica
looked up at him and put all of her effort into trying to read his mind. It
used to be so easy. In fact, her uncle had to teach her how to stop it from
being so easy. But now, the brand new sensation of being completely unaware of
Lucius at an empathic level still left her feeling especially awkward and
vulnerable.

�Why
don�t you have yourself a spot of breakfast,� he suggested. �We will be
beginning Spell practice later on in the day. It can be very exhausting work.�
Lucius set his coffee down on the table. �Dobby!� he bellowed.

Jessica
jumped slightly at his voluminous voice. Only a few seconds after he�d been
summoned, the tiny house elf by the name of Dobby entered the dinning room
dressed in something that looked like an old, tattered pillowcase.

�What
does Master wish of Dobby?� he asked in a high, squeaky voice.

�Miss
Van Eden will be joining me for breakfast,� he told the house elf without
looking down at him. �Fix us something appropriate, and bring her something to
drink. Coffee? Tea, my dear?� he asked, directing his question to Jessica.

�Tea,
please,� she said. �With a touch of honey.� Jessica looked over at Lucius as he
turned a page in the paper and watched his eyes scroll across the new page.

�Where
is your wife this morning?� Jessica questioned.

Lucius turned
another page and his eyes darted across the pages eagerly as if looking for a
particular article. �She�s down at the McKenzie manner having tea with some of
the other ladies from the neighborhood,� he answered without looking up. �She
wanted you to go along with her, but I promised Severus I would keep a close
eye on you and ensure that your training is on schedule.�

�How
responsible of you,� Jessica said unenthusiastically, but Lucius didn�t appear
to hear her sarcasm, or even a single word of her response. His eyes stopped
for a moment and he quickly began perusing the article Jessica assumed he�d
been looking for. His eyebrows bent in speculation and Jessica wondered now
more than ever what was going through the man�s mind.

Still,
she smiled to herself, it was worth not knowing. Even if she�d known before
hand what she had to sacrifice in order to take Severus as her lover, Jessica
would not have hesitated. Being and empath and a telepath wasn�t nearly as
rewarding as it was being the lover of Severus Snape.

Jessica
closed her eyes and rolled her neck to the side as she glided the back of her
hand across her throat again remembering just how real it felt to have Severus�
lips graze across her last

night.

�Something
amuses thee?� Lucius asked from behind the newspaper. He peeked around the edge
of the paper and watched curiously.

�No,�
she said and put a straight face on. �Sorry, nothing.�

�There�s
no need to feel embarrassed,� he said. �You�ve got a charming smile. It�s a
pity you don�t bear it more often.�

Jessica�s
tea arrived with a small spoon and saucer. There was a small slice of lemon on
the side of the teacup and the sweet scent of honey all of a sudden made
Jessica very hungry. Warm croissants with butter came to follow, and then two
plates of ham, bacon, omelets and delicious looking hash browns.

The
empty fruit bowl in the middle of the table suddenly filled with a variety of
fresh, bright colored fruit. Her reluctance to eat anything at the Malfoy Manor
suddenly vanished as Jessica realized just how hungry she was. She had promised
herself before arriving that she was not going to enjoy a single moment of the
time she spent living with Lucius Malfoy, but the meal in front of her looked
and smelled far too wonderful to not enjoy.

�Is
everything all right?� Lucius asked as he cut through his large slice of ham.

�Yes,�
she answered, �everything�s just swell.�

Lucius
gave Jessica a peculiar look but then began to chuckle before beginning to eat
his ham. He chewed quickly and then swallowed hard before pointing his fork at
her plate. �Go on, don�t be shy. You barely touched your dinner last night, you
must be starving.�

Jessica picked up her fork and gently poked it
through one of the soft cubes of her hash browns. They were seasoned with fresh
chives and herbal spices and tasted better than she had imagined. �This is
wonderful, thank you,� she said and sampled the vegetable omelet.

�You�re
most welcome, Jessica,� Lucius said and poured himself a glass of fresh orange
juice. �Once you�re finished there�s something I�d like to show you.� He sipped
his juice and then gently set the glass down on the table.

�And
what might that be?� Jessica asked, feeling slightly apprehensive.

�Something to keep you from slipping
into boredom while you�re here,� he said. �I know you enjoy reading, so I
thought I�d show you to the library. Then from there I�ll take you on a tour of
the manor.�

* * *

The tour of the Malfoy Manor ended up with the library being the
last rather than the first room Lucius had shown Jessica. It had been Quick
and Easy Remedies that Lucius was particularly anxious to show Jessica. She
recalled that he had once told her it was a gift to Lucius from her father,
Lord Voldemort. Jessica had already read some of the magical remedies out of
the book Madam Pomfrey kept in her office in the hospital wing, but like most
magical things, the idea of using magic for any means did not intrigue Jessica.

A fire
burned across the way from the large wall-length window, and although it wasn�t
even noontime yet, the thick, gray clouds had brought one of the year�s first
snowfalls and brought an evening-like darkness into the room. Jessica stood by
the window for a moment and watched as the snow covered the earth in a thick,
fluffy white blanket.

Hogwarts castle was a lot farther
north than the Malfoy Manor and Jessica could only imagine how much snow had
fallen on the grounds by now. Sometimes when the Hospital Wing was free of
patients Jessica would sit by the window in the office and watch the rain, the
snow, or the breeze blowing through the trees. Whatever the weather, Jessica
enjoyed watching it� except for today. It wasn�t because it was blizzarding out
or because winter was finally here. It was because she was so far away from
Hogwarts, so far away from Severus.

A tear dripped from her right eye as she thought of how far away
this wicked heir of Slytherin character had taken her away from what she
called home. Jessica spun around on her heel and collapsed on the long,
Victorian couch that sat across from the blazing hearth. The book was still in
her hand and Jessica began flipping through the pages to try and calm her
frustration.

Quick and Easy Remedies was
practically useless to someone like Jessica who knew nothing about brewing
potions, unlike her lover. Although to Severus Snape, Quick and Easy
Remedies was probably too trivial to entertain him. He probably knew each
and every formula by heart.

Jessica hastily close the book and tossed it on to the coffee
table adjacent to her. She leaned her head back into the arm of the couch and
closed her eyes. She breathed in deeply and exhaled slowly and just listened to
the calm crackling of the wood burning fire. It was as close as she had come to
relaxing in the Malfoy Manor.

Except for last night when Pinky had brought her a cup of tea
with a dash of Severus in it. Jessica smiled to herself as she
remembered thinking about him as she sipped her tea in bed last night. Jessica
didn�t remember anything after finishing her tea, she must have fallen straight
to sleep.

And then, what a dream she had dreamed! It was so real, as if
Snape were in bed with her kissing and caressing her. It felt so good to have
such a vivid dream of him on her first night in the Malfoy Manor. She had been
sure that she would spend the whole night awake, anxious and worried that
Lucius would perhaps have some evil trick up his sleeve to make her even more
uncomfortable in his home than she already was.

* * *

Dear Severus,

Why were you not at the Entrance Hall to see me off? I don�t
understand that, Severus. We don�t know how long it will be before we can see
each other again and you couldn�t even say goodbye to me! I can�t begin to tell
you how much that hurt me, Love. Perhaps if you were here you would feel it.

Uncle Albus told me that I was allowed visitors. Will you please
come to see me as soon as you can? I have never felt so alone before. This
place is so big, yet so empty without you. I want to come home right now. I
want to be with you and never leave your side again. Why did this have to
happen to us?

Has there been any news of the alleged Heir of Slytherin who has
been terrorizing the school? I hope that something has or will happen soon just
so that my innocence will be proven and I can return to Hogwarts. I don�t want
to stay here another minute!

There is so much more that I could tell you, but I fear that
perhaps you will not appreciate all of the things I have to say, so I will wait
patiently until I can see you again. I hope that it will not be too long.
Christmas is just around the corner and I hope that we will be able to spend
the holiday together. My only Christmas wish is that you and I will be able to
be together. I can�t possibly imagine that the Ministry or Uncle Albus will be
unable to think of a way for us to be together at such a special time.

I miss you so much already, Severus! Please write back to me as
soon as you can. Your words are all I have to look forward to.

Love,

Jessica

�How much has Severus taught you in regards to defensive
dueling?� Lucius asked Jessica on the way to the training room.

�Not
much,� she replied meekly. �We practiced a few times. There�s a Dueling Club
starting at Hogwarts. He was going to take me to the first session to watch
him, but I ended up here sooner than anyone had expected.�

�You say that like being here is the end of the world,� Lucius
said and smiled. He saw the look of dissatisfaction on Jessica�s face and new
precisely why. �I apologize, Jessica. I shouldn�t have said that. I know you
detest being here.�

They walked further down the corridor in an awkward state of
silence. After each two steps, the base of his cane clicked against the marble
flooring in a steady rhythm. Lucius walked with his shoulders back and his chin
held high in a dignified manner. Jessica eyed him carefully and watched him,
fascinated, as he walked with such poise and refinement.

He is rather handsome,
Jessica found herself thinking as she looked into his glacier blue eyes, and
a perfect gentleman when it serves his purpose. Jessica kept her look of
disgust to herself as she thought about all the time he had been a complete
slimeball to her. It�s all just a show, Jessica convinced herself, he�s
nothing more than a selfish, audacious brute with enough money to persuade his
superiors to look the other way.

As if he could sense her wicked thoughts, Lucius turned to look
her way and curiously raised an eyebrow. �Something vexes thee?� he asked
calmly.

�Not at all,� Jessica assured him. Noticing how exceedingly
close she had drifted towards him as they walked side by side, Jessica took a
giant step away from him.

Lucius either didn�t notice her abrupt motion or didn�t care to
acknowledge that she wanted to maintain a respectable distance between them. He
carried on walking swiftly towards the room they�d be using for Jessica�s
training without noticeably paying her much attention.

Lucius pressed his hand against the large, oak door and pushed
it open. It creaked faintly as it slowed to a stop and Lucius stepped aside,
letting Jessica in first. She hesitantly stepped into the large room and looked
around. The ceiling was high and the far wall was almost nothing but a large
mirror. The floor was covered in mats much softer than the ones Snape used in
the ballroom, and for that Jessica was grateful. She anticipated Lucius was
going to be just as merciless as Snape had been, if not more so. The only
reason she had to believe that Lucius would go easy on her was because he was
afraid of hurting the Dark Lord�s only heir.

As Jessica stood admiring the room, Lucius swept by her and let
his shoulder brush delicately against her as he passed. A faint drift of his
cologne lingered in the air around her and Jessica found herself breathing
deeply at it. She closed her eyes as she breathed it in again, as if to commit
the aroma to memory.

Lucius smiled and turned back around to catch her with her eyes
closed. He quietly stepped back towards her.
�Ardour,� he breathed into her ear as he passed her by, torturing her
with another waft of his rousing aroma. He pulled his wand from the top of his
cane and carefully leaned the snakehead against the wall. �Narcissa finds it
irresistible,� Lucius continued. He glanced over at her, one eyebrow raised in
amusement as if expecting her to somehow surrender to the aroma he was
inducing.

�It�s� rather pleasant,� Jessica responded coolly, trying to
shield her embarrassment. �Can we get started?� she said to change the subject
quickly. She extracted her wand from her robes and tied her belt tight around
her waist to keep the long folds of her clothing from billowing out and getting
in her way.

I�ll surely remember to wear sweatpants the next time, Jessica thought to herself as she realized what an
inconvenience it was going to be wearing robes.

�My, my, aren�t we eager this afternoon,� Lucius pronounced
approvingly.

Jessica nodded affirmatively. �I have things I would like to do
before dinner,� she explained.

Her excuse, although legitimate, amused Lucius, for he already
knew of the half-written letter to Snape sitting at her desk. He chuckled
softly and nodded his head. �Very well then.� Lucius backed up until he was
standing roughly twenty paces away from her. He tucked his wand under his arm
and reached up to his neck and untied his cloak before throwing it aside onto
the coat rack next to his cane. His shiny, leather boots left foot imprints on
the padded mat, as he stood parallel to Jessica.

Lucius pulled each of his brown leather gloves tight and flexed
his fingers. He was left wearing a white, Musketeer or pirate-like dress shirt
with long sleeves and elegant ruffles running along down the middle. His
smoke-gray pants fit him so perfectly Jessica could easily make out the profile
of his strong legs and rounded behind.

For a moment Jessica completely forgot that this was a man she
truly despised and she found herself watching the backside of him avidly as he
walked. It wasn�t until she felt the surge of electricity soar through her body
and strike her core with a bout of moist heat that she realized what she had
just done.

�Hold you wand at the
ready, like this,� he instructed and spun around, immediately taking Jessica�s
attention away from scrutinizing his lower body and demonstrating with his own
wand how she should hold hers.

Jessica turned her head and squeezed her eyes shut, trying to
erase what she just saw from her memory. Angrily, she grumbled at herself
before looking back at Lucius. With her wand in her right hand, Jessica bent
her arm and raised it over her head while holding her left arm out straight in
front of her with her rigid fingers pointed directly at Lucius. She stood with
her weight on her left leg while the ball of her right foot bounced readily
against the padded floor behind her, prepared to thrust forward in an attack at
any moment.

�Good,� Lucius said. �Now, I�m going to disarm you, so be
prepared and watch me carefully.� His wand wiggled anxiously in his hand as he
waited for Jessica to acknowledge him.

She nodded confidently and pressed her right heel back into the
mats to test its softness one last time. It�ll have to do, she told
herself as she prepared herself for the hard fall she knew was coming.

�On three,� Lucius warned.

Jessica squeezed her hand around her wand and swallowed hard on
one� took a deep breath on two�

�Incapatatus!�

Lucius whipped his wand around his body and struck towards
Jessica, sending a flash of white light her way. Jessica instinctively stepped
back and drew her wand up in front of herself as if to protect her body from
Lucius� swift magic.

Before she had time to respond, an invisible power pulled
Jessica�s wand right out of her hand and forced her body backwards. She fell
gracelessly to the floor, slamming her back into the softness of the mat
beneath her.

�Ah!� she cried, feeling the wind being knocked out of her
chest. She gasped as she struggled to refill her lungs with another breath but
found it exceptionally difficult. Each breath came in short, desperate gasps
until a gloved hand slipped under her neck and carefully hoisted her up into a
sitting position. �Was that really necessary?�

�Relax, Jessica,� Lucius instructed as he cradled her upper body
in his arms. He pushed her jumbled locks of hair behind her shoulders and delicately
rubbed her back as she tried desperately to get her breathing back to normal.
�You�ll be happy to know, that was one of the least powerful Disarming spells.�

Jessica coughed into her hand as she finally managed to sustain
a regular breathing pattern. She looked up quizzically at Lucius and coughed
one more time. �I thought you said you were � cough � going to dis � cough,
cough � disarm me,� she said. �Not knock me � cough � silly!�

Lucius smiled and brushed his gloved hand through Jessica�s
hair. �At times disarming and disabling go hand in hand,� he assured. �That�s
why I told you to be prepared,� Lucius said proudly as he helped Jessica up
onto her feet.

Jessica rolled her eyes as she found her balance. She knew she
was going to have a welcoming encounter like that with the mats, which didn�t
seem to feel so soft anymore.

�If that�s so, I know just the spell to take you down,� she said
confidently, remembering how Snape had also sent her soaring across the way
after disarming her previously.

�You�re welcome to try,� Lucius said. He began
walking back to the spot he�d been standing in before, where he still had at
least ten feet of padding behind him. He raised his wand and motioned for
Jessica to do the same.

Still feeling a bit wheezy, Jessica prepared herself as Lucius
had. A tiny smile crept onto her face as she imagined how much she was going to
enjoy this if it went right. Jessica hadn�t anticipated this much satisfaction
since watching Lucius suffer in Diagon Alley after she�d bit him.

�On three,� she said eagerly. Lucius nodded in agreement and
paid her close attention. �One.�

He glared readily at her.

�Two.�

He took a deep breath.

�Expelliarmus!�

Jessica thrust forward, pointing her wand angrily at Lucius as
the spell struck him. She�d never forget the look on Lucius� face as his wand
flew from his hand and his body lifted from the floor and soared backwards all
the way to the very edge of the pa mat mats. He landed with a crash. Jessica
kept from giggling as she heard an extensive groan sound from his end of the
mat.

Lucius was on his back and had one knee bent up and the other
lying flat against the mat. His arms were spread out at awkward angles and he
wasn�t moving. Jessica smiled at her success and waited patiently for him to
get up.

Lucius remained motionless, resorting only to low groans and
mumbles.

Jessica set her wand down on the mat and slowly approached him.
The mat squished under her feet as she stepped nearer. �Mr. Malfoy?� she
called.

His eyes were closed and his chest was barely moving. Long
tresses of platinum hair spread in a mangled web across the mat much like
Jessica�s hair did when he�d knocked her down.

Jessica knelt down beside him and tapped the back of her hand
against his cheek. �Lucius?� she called softly.

He groaned again, assuring her that he was still conscious. A
moment passed before he rocked his head back and forth and then slowly opened
his eyes. He turned his head to give her a funny look but then closed his eyes
again. Lucius began to chuckle.

�Very well done, Jessica,� he congratulated. �Only next time,
you�re going to have to take your time bringing your wand around your body.
Then, you won�t hit your opponent with so much force.�

�And why wouldn�t I want to do that?� she asked and
absentmindedly offered her hand to help him up.

Lucius gratefully took her hand and pulled himself up to his
feet. �Because, my dear, that was a Disarming spell � not a spell meant to
knock your opponent silly.�

�That�s not fair,� Jessica declared. �You knocked me silly by disarming
me.�

�I�m simply trying to teach you the desired effect of
each spell and charm as they are meant to function. Perhaps another day we�ll
get into the spells that are meant specifically to knock your opponent
silly.�

Jessica looked doubtfully at Lucius. �I don�t quite think I
fancy the idea of practicing that alone with you.�

Lucius laughed again and put his hand on her back as he walked
her back to the far side of the mat. �Very well then, I�ll have Narcissa join
us. She rather excels in combat.�

Jessica casually reached her hand out towards her wand and it
immediately lifted off of the mat and soared directly into her grasp. She
turned to Lucius, expecting him to go back to his side to show her another
Disarming Charm.

He was still standing next to her, staring fascinated at her
wand. �Remarkable,� he whispered. �Forgive me for being so blunt, but I thought
you sacrificed your powers when you took Severus as your lover.�

Jessica slowly shook her head. �Not all of them,� she told him.
�I lost the ability to read the minds and sense the emotions of everyone except
Severus,� she explained, although she had the distinct impression he knew
before she did that this would result upon the loss of her virginity.

�I see,� he said dully. He pointed a gloved finger at her wand.
�I was referring to your ability of telekinesis.�

�Oh,� she said, guessing that he had seen her summon her wand wordlessly.
�I�m sorry, I can�t quite explain that. Somehow I am still able to summon my
wand without the use of �accio.��

�And what of
your Animagus ability?� he inquired, clearly interested in her answer.

�Still in tact,� Jessica answered immediately. �Shall I
enlighten you?� A devious smile spread across her lips as the memory of her
last encounter with Lucius in the form of a Fierce Snake played in her mind.

�Perhaps another time,� Lucius said calmly,
completely maintaining his composure, although Jessica was certain the memory
of Diagon Alley was just as fresh in his mind as it was in hers.

Lucius took another step closer to Jessica. He held his black
wand in his right hand and lifted Jessica�s arm up with the tip of his wand to
shoulder�s length. He eyed down the line of their parallel arms and put his
left hand on her hip.

The sudden closeness made Jessica�s heart skip a beat. She swallowed
hard and flinched, anxiously wondering what he was going to do. �Hold your arm
tight,� he instructed, tapping his wand against her right arm. �Now, for the
next Charm I want you to bring you wand all the way back,� he held her by the
wrist and slowly eased her through the wand movement.

Lucius whispered his instructions into her ear and repeated the
wand motion several more times. His gentle voice tantalized Jessica�s ears and
she found herself paying more attention to his soft sounds than she was to the
wrist movement he was showing her. His body was warm and acted as a painful
reminder of the warmth and comfort she left behind at Hogwarts.

Noticing her lack of attention, Lucius smiled to himself and
continued moving along with her body until she had the gesture mastered.
�Perfect,� he breathed into her ear. �Now, all on your own,� he said and slowly
began to back away.
