Lucius-
Over the next few weeks, I received reports from both Mr. Zabini and Heety at the end of each day. Zabini reported my wife’s improvement in each area that I wished for her to study. Dancing she did very well in, though he had noticed she would get tired more easily as time went on. She did well in poetry as well; he told me she had a strong voice and a good feel for the rhythm of most anything he gave her.
Singing on the other hand was a completely different matter. Most days she refused to participate at all in the lesson as she had a shyness about doing it in front of him. I could tell it agitated him as much as it did me. We had both heard her that first day, and she had a lovely voice. The shyness about it seemed so odd and uncharacteristic of her. It had to have a root in something unknown, but there just wasn’t enough time to figure out the cause before the ball. So for now I let this slide.
Heety’s reports became increasingly troublesome as time went on. They would both act perfectly respectable in front of her. Though she did say that Ginevra was becoming comfortable with her handsome tutor. The troublesome part was that the boy seemed to come up with all sorts of legitimate reasons for Heety to leave them for longer and longer periods of time.
The only thing that had kept him from confronting the boy about it was the fact that each night his wife still sought out his attention. If she were being satisfied during the day, then she wouldn’t need him so desperately at night... right?
“Master?” Snerk pulls me from my thoughts with his usual dull tone. “Master Draco is being here with two young Misses.”
“Draco’s home?” I ask getting to my feet because I need a distraction from my wayward thoughts anyway.
“Snirk left thems in the front hall Master.” The elf says following me out as I head down to greet my son and his guests.
When I spot the three of them laughing together I can’t help but feel a lightened heart that my son is doing well with his own plans.
“Father.” Draco greets me with a smile, and one would never know he had left on bad terms. “These lovely women are the friends I was telling you of. May I introduce Ladies Padma and Parvati Patil. Padma, Parvati, this is my father Duke Lucius Malfoy.”
Both girls curtsey to me with bright eyes and smiles. They are enjoying my son’s company and I feel suddenly like I am intruding.
“It is wonderful to meet such lovely ladies.” I tell him giving them my own smile. I can’t help but think that one of them will carry the Malfoy heir, and be pleased with the idea. “I hope you enjoy your stay in the Manor. My wife is currently detained, but after her meeting I am sure she would be delighted to take tea with you both.”
“That would be lovely my Lord.” One of them says with ease and grace, though if I am honest I have no idea, which is which.
“Until then, I am sure Draco is more than prepared to help you both settle into your rooms.”
The girls look at each other for a moment and then the one who hadn’t spoken yet smiles. “We didn’t wish to be too much trouble, I am sure we could share a room.” She said reaching out and taking her sister’s hand.
With one glance to Draco’s face, I can tell this isn’t a part of his plan. I give them a warm smile and shake my head. “I wouldn’t hear of it. Our home is large and we have plenty of space so that you don’t have to do that. In fact you are my honored guests.” I tell them getting a wonderful idea. “Draco I think Miss Padma would find the blue suite comfortable and her sister Parvati should go in the red suite. They are my second best guest quarters.” I tell them honestly and then take the girl who spoke’s hand to calm her concerns. “I would put one of you in the gold suite but the Emperor is staying a few days for the ball as well. He is the only one who could push you from my best rooms.”
Another glance to Draco tells me he is very pleased with the arrangements. The two suites I am putting them in are a hall’s length apart from one another. So if he plans to do things behind the other’s back, than he had the space to do so.
“You are too kind my Lord.” They say bowing to me again.
“Don’t worry yourself about it. I just hope you have a wonderful time during your stay.” I tell them looking to each girl. “But I think I should leave your further care to my capable son.” With a bow and a smile for Draco and headed off to see how Ginevra’s last lesson before the ball was going.
They always leave the ballroom door open when they have lessons, which in fact always makes me feel better about having the snake in my home. Today the lesson is all the more public as I have workmen and elves moving in and out of the ballroom as they set up for the event tomorrow night.
I watch Ginny smile as she moves gracefully from one-step to the next. I enjoy watching as she blooms into a woman worthy of the name Malfoy. When the two of them notice me, Ginevra pulls away without a backward glance to her tutor and smiles brightly as if she is glad to see me.
“I think I won’t make a fool of myself tomorrow.” She says and I nod in agreement.
“Your wife is a fast learner my Lord.” Mr. Zabini says with a bow.
“Yes she is.” I agree as I pull my arm around her waist to claim her purposefully in front of everyone here. “I think she is ready, you may have the rest of the week off Master Zabini.” I tell him wishing to have a break of my own.
“We should invite him my Lord.” Ginevra looks up at me as if she was just wondering why I hadn’t already done just that.
Licking my lips, I don’t let myself frown. “Of course, you are already well connected with many of those coming. I don’t see why you couldn’t attend.”
“That is very kind of you my Lord.” He says trying to act humble, but I catch the smirk on his lips.
Ginny-
I smile as I let Lucius lead me away from the ballroom. “Thank you.” I say leaning into him slightly as we walk.
“What are you wearing tonight?” He asks moving on from Blaise to something he has probably been worrying about for days.
“Heety set out something. I didn’t really look.” I tell him with a wave of my hand.
“Women should care about their clothes. Do I need to get you a tutor for that as well?” He asks but I can tell he’s teasing.
“I’ve been fitted for the plum gown I will be wearing tomorrow night three times.” I tell him trying to impress. “What is so important about tonight’s dinner?”
“It is a more private gathering of my friends and their wives. The Dark Emperor will be there with a guest as well.” He tells me making me swallow. “This is your first real introduction into society.” He says patting my hand. “I want them to see how well I chose.”
I blush and smile up at him. “Now you’ve made me nervous. Maybe I should go start getting ready?” I tell him thinking maybe that wouldn’t be a bad idea.
“Not quite yet. I’ve told Draco’s guests you would have tea with them once they’ve settled in.” He says as if it shouldn’t be a big deal.
“Draco’s here?” I ask glancing around as if he would jump out at us.
“Yes, and he has brought two lovely women to keep himself busy with. He tells me he is interested in proposing to one of them, so be kind to both.”
“Are they the sisters from our wedding?” I ask because I remember Draco pointing them out that day.
“Yes, and they seem like sweet girls. They are staying for the rest of the summer and I want them to feel welcome here. ” He tells me squeezing my waist a little. “They seem to make him happy, and a happy Draco is better for everyone.”
I bit my lip and try not to frown as I think about my last confrontation with Draco. I have to wonder what he has told these women about his step mother.
“Maybe they could get ready in my rooms?” I offer with a smile. “It will be nice to have company for the summer. I’d like to be friendly.”
“That sounds lovely.” Lucius says parting from me so he can look down into my eyes. “Draco is settling them into the red and blue suites. Do you remember where those are?” He asks as he pulls out a pocket watch to check the time.
“In the guest wing.” I tell him with a bow of my head. I’ve been living in the Manor for over two months now. I’ve had plenty of time to explore and learn my way around the large house.
“The Emperor and his guests are not arriving until later, but I have a lot to get done before then. I trust you to do your part.” He said brushing his hand over the side of my face before kissing my head.
“Of course. I will see you at dinner.” I tell him with a smile before letting him head off towards his business.
When I get to the blue suite, the door is partly open. I go to knock anyway when I hear a heated sound that makes me blush.
“Draco…” A woman gasps making me step back from the door quickly. I really don’t want to be caught spying on them but I’m not sure how else to handle things as I am supposed to be inviting them to tea in my rooms.
I’m still fidgeting when the door slams shut as two bodies move against it. Thinking of what they had to be doing in the room reminds me of our fight and I almost step forward to make sure the girl is okay when I hear a giggle from the room.
Worrying my lower lip between my teeth, I glance down the hall to the other girl’s room only to find her smiling back at me. With a new flood of heat to my face, I rush towards the girl standing just outside her own room.
“I was just going to…” I motion back behind me unable to come up with words.
“He thinks he is a sly boy.” The girl says looking past me down the hall.
“What?” I ask unsure of how to actually respond to any of this.
“Draco.” She says motioning to her sister’s door. “He thinks he is being sly. For some reason he has it in his head that we won’t talk. You are Lady Malfoy.” She adds her eyes widening and looking a bit embarrassed. “We were at your wedding, I should have remembered.”
“Yes. I remember Draco mentioning you.” I tell her trying not to fidget. “I came to invite you two to get ready for dinner in my room. We could have tea.” I say trying very hard not to sound awkward.
“Maybe we should sit in my room until they are done?” The woman offers holding her hand out to me.
“Yes I think that is a good idea.” I agree walking with her to the red suite. “So has he chosen your sister to purpose to?” I ask feeling odd and wanting to understand the situation.
She sighs and shakes her head. “He has hinted at offers to both of us. I think he is still trying to make the final decision.”
“But they’re…” I start blushing as if I’ve never had sex before. Well at least I waited for my wedding night for such things.
“Both my sister and I have enjoyed moments with your son-in-law.” She says a bit awkwardly. “I don’t want you to think her easy or me for that matter. But he is very skilled in such areas.”
I make a face and she actually laughs. “Well I am glad to know you’re not further competition.”
“I’m married to his father.” I snap before shaking my head. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to be rude.” Was I being rude?
“No no, I understand.” She says opening the door for me. “We just want to stay together.” She says softly as she closes the door. “We decided if we can both seduce Draco, then maybe he can make that happen for us.”
“Oh.” Is all I can think to say as I look around the room. “Are you finding your rooms comfortable?” I ask falling back on being a good hostess.
“Very, thank you.” She says respectfully sitting on the lush couch in her sitting room.
I sit across from her and look around the room for something else to say and then I realize I really know nothing about her. “I’m sorry; Lucius didn’t tell me who was who.” I tell her blushing.
“Oh.” She giggles and shakes her own head “Of course, their actions have thrown all proper etiquette out the window. Lady Malfoy, I’m Parvati Patil.” She says with a bow of her head.
“My friends call me Ginny.” I tell her with a smile. “You’ll be staying all summer; I think we can drop the lady business.” I tell her with a wave of my hand.
“That is very kind of you. Honestly, I wasn’t sure how long I was going to be able to keep that up. You must be my age.” She says looking me up and down.
“I’m seventeen.” I tell her and she actually laughs.
“You’re younger than Padma and I.” She says shaking her head. “I’m sorry, I’m being rude, but if one of us does marry Draco this will be a bit awkward.”
I smile at her and nod. “Yes, I think it is already a bit awkward.” I tell her laughing too. “But don’t worry Ginny, neither Padma or I would let Draco kick you out after his father dies.”
I blink at her, not really sure what to say to that.
Lucius-
The elf is tying back my hair in a black ribbon when there is a knock on my door. They would have announced anyone they weren’t used to seeing around, so I assume it has to be either Draco or Ginevra.
“Enter.” I say looking at myself as the elf finishes his work. The black robes and jacket aren’t nearly as fine as what I have planned for tomorrow but they are better than my usual dinner dress, and that is what is important.
“The Dark Emperor will be here very soon, and you are still primping?” The sarcastic baritone makes me smirk before looking over at Severus.
“Well one doesn’t like to look anything but their best when welcoming such an honored guest into their home.” I remind him with as much snark in my own voice.
The Potion Master is wearing his best I assume, not nearly as fine as my own clothes, but he is a self-made man, and his fortune doesn’t equal my own.
“To what do I owe this early warning?” I ask curiously motioning for him to sit down if he wished.
He shakes his head and looks around the room for a moment. “Doesn’t seem to have any more of a woman’s touch than when Narcissa lived here.”
“I’ve put her in Narcissa’s old room. It’s only proper that she have her own space Severus.” I tell him taking a seat for my own comfort. The elves will tell me when the Dark Emperor's carriage is on the drive.
“How are your plans going with that one?” He asks walking around slowly as he picks things up before looking at them and replacing them exactly where they have been.
“Very well. She knows who she belongs to. Now all I have to do is wait for my son and the binding will be unbreakable.” I tell him with a smirk, but I soon let it fall. “Have you heard anything new on the werewolf pack?” I ask darkly.
“Nothing. They seem to have disappeared, but don’t worry we will find them in the end.” He says with a glance back to me.
“And your mission for the Dark Emperor?” I ask curiously. “How is that going?”
“That is why I am here.” He says turning to face me once again. “It is going well, but I need to know if you have any of a certain kind of ward in place around the Manor or estate.”
“What kind of ward?” I ask only more interested by the question.
“A blood ward. Something that would harm, singe, or effect mudbloods?” He asks and it only makes me all the more curious about his mission.
“The Dark Emperor wishes to bring a mudblood to Malfoy Manor?” I ask both confused and disgusted by the idea.
“He also would prefer if you and your wife didn’t use that term while he is visiting this time.” He says and I think it would be less odd if he grew a second head.
“You are going to have to tell me why Severus.” I get to my feet and start to pace as I think of the thing dirtying my halls.
“I can’t tell you the exact reason. All I can say is that he has a new pet and she is a mudblood. He needs her to open up to him, to trust him, for the rite he has in mind to work.” Severus explains gently.
“We have a pain blood ward for mudbloods.” I tell him with a sigh. “Is the Dark Emperor offering me anything to allow this defilement?” I better be getting something out of this.
“He told me to tell you that he always rewards those who help him in his plans. The two of you can discuss it further tonight after dinner.” Severus says the words as if they would both know my reaction to such a request.
“This rite he needs her for, it will make our nation stronger?” I ask watching for any signs of deception.
“It will.” He agrees honestly.
“Then I will alter the wards for the next few days. Give me an hour to get it done.” I tell him with a bow of my head.
“You have our Emperor’s thanks.” Severus says bowing to me before he leaves to deliver the message.
With a sigh, I go to Ginevra’s room and knock. I know she has Draco’s twins in there, and I need to tell all three of them something about the guests.
“Come in.” Comes the voice of my bride, which lowers her wards and allows me to open the door.
I see the twins first, giggling behind their hands as they sit on the small couch together. They both smile brightly up at me and I can’t help but compliment my son’s taste. They are in matching dresses of indigo. The bright color making their dark skin almost glow by comparison. If these were the dresses they are wearing for the dinner, I would have to say their dowries would be nothing to sneeze at. But how could we have them both?
I’m distracted from the scheming thoughts by the image of grace moving in front of the mirror. Tonight she wears a stunning dress of cocoa. It is made of satin and lace, and hugs her form without giving away the small curve of my child inside her stomach. The elves have pulled her hair up into an elegant mass of waves, and I am not ashamed to admit, at least to myself, that it makes my breath stop for a moment when she smiles at me.
“Lucius? Is it time to go down?” She asks stepping off a stool and moving towards me.
I don't speak until she gets to me and I lean down as if I am kissing her cheek before whispering hotly in her ear. “I’m going to rip you out of that dress tonight.” I say and smile as her cream skin turns pink.
“It is almost time.” I tell her as I pull back. “I have to go check on something, but if you three are ready you can head down to the main hall. I am sure the Dark Emperor would enjoy being greeted by such beauty.
The two on the couch giggle again and my pet just smiles shyly. “I do have a favor to ask of the three of you. The Dark Emperor’s guest is very sensitive about certain political views. It would be best of we didn’t use any derogatory terms for muggle-borns while they are visiting.”
“Of course.” Ginevra says shaking her head. I doubt she would use them anyway with her upbringing, but I don’t know the other two’s politics.
“Good. Then I will see you in a bit down in the main hall.” I tell her kissing her cheek again before going to lower the blood wards.
Ginny-
I’m about ready to kill Lucius. We headed down to the main hall after he left and now it has been almost an hour of waiting for him. Every time I look over at Draco talking to the Patil sisters, I think about the moan I heard before, or the images of kneeling to him when he cursed me.
He isn’t helping the situation at all either. I can feel his eyes on me and when I do catch him looking, he acts as if he is undressing me with his eyes. It has to be a tactic to unsettle me, but it is doing a very good job.
“They’re heading up the drive now.” Lucius says from behind me and I am just glad he has finally deemed it possible to join us. I give him a big smile and decide if he wants to rip my dress off tonight, he is going to have to work for it.
“Are you ready to meet our noble leader?” He asks as he wraps an arm around my waist.
“How does one get ready for such an event?” I ask lightly and he just grins down at me. “You’ll do fine.” He said kissing the top of my head before we move out to the front of the house.
The carriage is very fine. It looks large enough to fit at least six comfortably inside. It is black with silver and green snakes detailing the sides and the royal coat of arms, a silver skull with a green snake coming from the mouth, on the door.
Several footman in royal livery step off the back of the carriage and start to unload trunks as one moves to the door to open it and put the step in place.
I never expected the Dark Emperor to look so young. He looks to be in his middle years, maybe a bit older than Lucius, but the way my father always spoke about him, I thought he would be a walking skeleton, more like a lich. In fact, he cuts quite a dashing figure with short-cropped hair that is only starting to go gray on the sides.
His clothes are actually finer than my husband’s, which is saying a lot since I know Lucius doesn’t skimp on his wardrobe. The black robes and jacket hang around him perfectly, showing off a figure he has not let go to seed in his age. I find myself blushing just a bit as I think I am getting a crush on him just with one look.
He turns without addressing anyone and helps a girl from the carriage next. She is a lovely creature, with silky chestnut hair that falls loosely around her shoulders. Her gown is the palest pink, which gives her a very innocent look next to the Emperor.
Only once she is on stable ground does he turn to us, and I get a view of bright red eyes. I can’t help but swallow as it gives his handsome face a very sinister look. It’s like looking at a devil that wishes to seduce instead of frighten.
He smiles to Lucius as he leads the girl towards us. “Lucius my friend, thank you for welcoming us into your home. I would like to introduce you to a special friend of mine. Miss Hermione Granger.”
We all bow to him as he speaks, and I keep my head down waiting for my own introduction. “Welcome your Majesty.” Lucius says in a pleased tone. “Miss Granger.” He adds after only a moment’s hesitation. “It is a pleasure to meet you.”
“This must be your wife? They were not joking when they said she was young.” He says and I assume he is motioning to me, but I am still looking at his shoes.
“Yes your Majesty, this is Lady Ginevra Malfoy my lovely wife.” He introduces and it is my time to look up to face the Emperor directly. He gives me an appraising smile as he takes my hand and kisses my wrist.
I can’t seem to take my eyes off him as he does and my thoughts turn to the fact that I am pretty sure Lucius would challenge any other man who was so forward with me. His smile widens as if he can read my thoughts and he still hasn’t let go of my hand.
The girl next to him clears her throat which draws his attention away, but his hand still grasps mine in a way that would be rude for me to pull away first.
She glares at him in a way that I would never dare, but he only smiles and drops my hand. “It is lovely to meet you Lady Malfoy. Lucius is a dear friend, and I do hope we can get to know each other better.
“That is kind of you your Majesty.”
“Very.”
“And of course you know my son, but have you met Ladies Padma and Parvati Patil?” Lucius says trying to get the attention off me.
Without the Emperor’s focus on me, I look to the woman at his side and smile to her as she smiles back. She steps up to me and takes my hand as well. “I’m not really used to any of this fancy stuff yet.” She says squeezing my hand. “You look like a friendly face I can count on for help?”
“Of course Miss Granger.” I tell her as I am taking an instant liking to the other girl. Glancing to Lucius for a moment and seeing him occupied with walking the Emperor I offer my arm to the woman.”
“Call me Hermione please.” She says quickly as we walk.
“Then you may call me Ginny.” I tell her glad there is someone in the group I feel comfortable with.
“My sister would be spinning in her grave.” I hear an all too familiar voice behind me and I turn to see Lady Bellatrix Lestrange waiting by the carriage. “To see what you do with her legacy.” She adds once she knows she has my attention.
“Lady Lestrange, I didn’t realize you were with the Emperor’s party.” I say turning Hermione and I back to face the woman. I glance over my shoulder but Lucius is already inside. There are two men beside her and I can only assume one is her husband.
“Well, it isn’t my fault you are an ill-informed country bumpkin.” She says with a sneer. “Not even pretty.” She adds looking to the men to agree with her. “I really just don’t know what Lucius was thinking. You might as well be…” She starts but her eyes move to Hermione before a grimace appears on her face. “Come Rodolphus, we should catch up with the important people.” She changes her words moving past us and bumping into me as she goes.
The man who doesn't hurry after her smiles a slow smile to me and bows his head without lowering his eyes. “Lady Malfoy, I am Master Rabastan Lestrange.” I don’t like the way he is looking at me but I give him a greeting nonetheless.
“Welcome to Malfoy Manor, Master Lestrange.” I say bowing my own head before turning to Hermione. “We should all catch up.” I say turning us back towards the house.
The man moves to walk on the other side of me when a shrill “Rabastan!” Makes him bow his head and move quickly to join the group.
“She was not pleasant company on the trip here.” Hermione tells me as she shakes her head. “But why does she seem to hate you so much?”
“Well it is a bit of a long story.” I tell her trying hard not to bite my lip. “But I think mostly it is the fact that I am Lord Malfoy’s second wife. His first was Lady Lestrange’s younger sister.”
