“I imagine Severus will be more irritable than usual if you are running late, Aurora. You know how particular Severus gets in regards to time-tables. Your upcoming nuptials has him more prickly than ever.” Lucius gently reminded her.
Hermione was gob smacked; Aurora Sinistra was seeing Severus Snape? No, not just seeing, they were getting married? Hermione opened then closed her mouth.
“Exactly.” Lucius smiled as he misinterpreted her expression.
“I guess I better get going then.” Hermione began to back out of his office.
“Would you like me to accompany you to Hogsmead?” Lucius asked.
“No, not necessary, I don’t want to be a bother. I’ll just be off.” Feeling like a complete idiot, Hermione was anxious to get back to her rooms and let the potion wear off.
It’s no bother, let me just get my cane and I’ll walk you to the disapparation point.”
“This really isn’t necessary, Lucius.” Hermione huffed as she and Lucius walked into town.
“I don’t mind at all, it gives me an opportunity to stretch my legs. Ahhh, here we are, be sure to give my regards to Severus won’t you?” Lucius smiled down at her. Severus and Aurora had finally made time in their busy schedules to finalize their wedding plans. As a favor, Lucius suggested they marry at the manor. Aurora had been meeting with Lucius to finalize logistics, this weekend would be the final walkthrough before the wedding ceremony next month.
“Absolutely.” And with that Aurora Sinistra disapparated.
Lucius got back to the castle, deciding to spend some time with his little witch, perhaps they could begin an early weekend. He smiled as he made his way to her rooms. He took the stairs two at a time anxious to see the little minx. After knocking and getting no answer he decided to try her classroom and office. Not a curly hair of her in sight. She’d been quite distracted and a little distant of late, it was probably time to have another little talk with her, for as bright as she was, she was also remarkably insecure. It surprised him how poorly she perceived herself. It seemed that every time he thought he’d made headway with her she seemed to take several steps back from him. He opened her office door to find it empty as well, perhaps she was in the small private lab off her office. He supposed the next place he could look for her would be the library. He looked around her office and noted it was a little more disorganized than usual. Perhaps she’d left out her calendar and he peered down at her desk to find himself looking down at a remarkable piece of parchment. It appeared to be a map of Hogwarts and he could see everyone who was on the castle grounds and within the castle. What a remarkable piece of magic. Scanning the map he quickly found Hermione Granger walking up the path towards Hagrid’s hut. He peered out her office window to see if he could catch a glimpse of her and was astounded to see Aurora Sinistra striding up the walkway. “What the bloody hell?” he murmured. Surprised he looked back at the map and read Hermione Granger’s name on the walkway by Hagrid’s hut. Puzzle pieces began to click together, Horace Slughorn’s potions stores dwindling… Lucius quickly walked into her lab and not surprisingly found the remains of polyjuice potion in a small cauldron. Why on earth would she want to be Aurora Sinistra? Did she have designs on Severus Snape? What the bloody hell was going on? Temper rising, Lucius picked up the small cauldron from her lab then picked up the map as he made his way out of her office. A serious heart to heart discussion was in order with one devious little miss a discussion where she wouldn’t be sitting down comfortably anytime soon.
Good Gaia, she didn’t think she’d make it back to her rooms in time; damn him for insisting he walk her down to Hogsmead. She closed her door quickly and leaned against it. She could begin to feel the effects of the polyjuice potion begin to wear off when the lights suddenly went on in her room. There sitting on a chair with his legs stretched out before him was one very angry Lucius Malfoy holding his wand in one hand and the marauder’s map in the other. Their eyes locked while the last of the potion wore off. She looked like a child caught in a very naughty act—, which was close to being true—only she wasn't a child.
“Green becomes you, my dear. Though I must say those robes seem a little long for you.”
Hermione gulped. Her eyes widened in surprise. Oh shite, this wasn’t a scenario she’d envisioned.
He said coolly, "I believe you have some explaining to do." He leaned forward, tossed the map onto the ottoman in front of him and picked the small cauldron up from the floor. He leaned back in the chair and waited.
"Lucius—" What could she possibly say so she opted to say nothing.
"An explanation now."
Her cheeks flushed at his acerbic order. She couldn’t believe she’d been foolish enough to leave both the map and the used cauldron out. How the hell was she going to explain her actions? Trying for nonchalance, she quipped, "I.. .was… investigating… “
“Investigating? Do tell.” Sarcasm dripped off his every word.
Hermione frowned beginning to feel a wee bit defensive, she folded her arms across her chest. “I don’t need to give you an explanation for anything.”
Lucius’ eyes sparkled dangerously, he re-crossed his long legs at the ankles, "I like to think of myself as a patient man, Hermione and I believe I’ve been remarkably patient and tolerant of your little idiosyncrasies but I believe I’ve lost what little tolerance I have given your most recent activities. What the bloody hell do you think you are doing?” he growled.
Now annoyed with him she snapped, “You spend quite a bit of time with Aurora Sinistra. I might ask you the same thing.”
Lucius’ eyebrows rose in surprise and he asked incredulously, “So you polyjuiced yourself into the woman because?”
Cursing herself for losing her temper, she tried to backtrack, “no reason.”
Understanding dawned across his face quickly followed by disapproval, “You thought to discover some kind of illicit activity occuring between the professor and myself.”
Hermione found it remarkably difficult to meet his hard gaze. What she wouldn’t give to be anywhere but here in front of him feeling like some recalcitrant school girl. He was not happy with her and she felt remarkably similar to when she’d been discovered hiding under his desk.
“I believe you are due a reminder, little girl.”
Nope, she wasn’t particularly keen on reliving what had happened after she came out from under his desk. Now would be a good time to make a hasty departure.
“Come here, Hermione,” his voice low.
Hermione shook her head slowly and began to back towards the door.
“Now,” he growled.
Energy pulsed between them then they moved at exactly the same time. Lucius stood up and Hermione’s hand was on the doorknob, she gave a small wave with her other hand and accio’d the map, she pulled open the door as soon as the parchment was in her hand then she was off running for all she was worth down the hallway. Eyes glinting, palms itching Lucius quickly gave chase.
