[HP] just lover

Lucius stayed after all.

A new life, a new house, a brand new bed, sleeping next to a man destined to be someone else's husband.

Vanessa turned her head and looked at Lucius with his eyes closed in the dark. The reason why she finally compromised was because he didn't do anything.

Just lay there and rest.

In fact, his spirit was not that good, even if he could still maintain it during the day, but after all, he was forced to drink the potion and fell asleep tiredly in the evening.

When Vanessa finished cleaning the house and returned to the bedroom again, she saw him leaning on her pillow, frowning and falling asleep.

He frowned even when he fell asleep, what was bothering him?

She was going to give him the bedroom to sleep alone, and after looking at him for a while, she wanted to leave, but she did not leave.

Lucius pulled her into his arms, buried his head in her neck, and closed his eyes palely.

"Let me rely on it for a while."

He was really tired, physically and mentally exhausted. Vanessa thought of his magical face in the double-sided mirror before graduation. She never thought that Lucius Malfoy would be so embarrassing and haggard. At all times, he should always be aloof, always elegant and noble, and always elusive.

So in the end, somehow, it became what it is now.

Vanessa turned around slowly, with her back to Lucius, looking at the window covered by light-colored curtains with a heavy heart, and she could vaguely see the moon hanging in the sky outside the gap in the curtains.

Today is a full moon.

Everything was silent, surrounded by the man's deep breathing, it seemed that everything in her life was as complete as the full moon.

To be precise, it is about a moment of consummation.

Since that day, Lucius has slept in Vanessa's small, shabby quarters every night.

Even during the day, he often stays here, not going anywhere.

Vanessa was watering the flowers at the door, and he was standing on the balcony on the second floor watching, with his hands on the railing, watching quietly.Even though his eyes were cold and distant, his eyes were full of tenderness that he never easily revealed when facing her.

Lucius had his own pride.

Most of the time, even if he knows what to do to make her happy and like her, he doesn't even bother to do it.

He never showed his tenderness and love easily, maintained the most basic dignity in front of Vanessa, and never flattered her without a bottom line.He didn't want her to see how much he needed her and couldn't live without her, as if he would lose, to a half-blood witch who was poor and unbearable in both his philosophy and family education.

Although the reality has told him the truth, he has already lost.

Vanessa didn't agree with him staying here every day at first, but he had a lot of ways to make her compromise.

such as……

"Remember that list I mentioned to you?"

After lunch, Lucius was reading the Daily Prophet. While packing up, Vanessa looked at him and said, "Remember, what's wrong?" She was a little uneasy, "What did someone else do?"

Lucius closed the newspaper and leaned back on the simple chair. To be honest, everything here didn’t match his gleaming aura. He was sitting on the old chair right now. Although he didn’t say anything himself, everyone Nissa felt that it didn't fit well, so she couldn't help but took out her wand and cast a Transfiguration Charm to make the chair look more gorgeous.

Lucius looked down, pursed his lips as if trying to suppress a smile, and said after a while: "No one is doing anything, you don't have to worry. I just want to tell you who put your and Mrs. Wilson's names It's just on the list."

Vanessa paused when she packed her things, then turned her head to stare at the pool and said, "Can you tell me? Doesn't it count as leaking secrets?"

Lucius seemed to have thought of something, smiled contemptuously, and said lightly, "It doesn't count."

Vanessa washed her hands, dried them, walked up to him, and looked at him: "So, who is it?"

Lucius raised his eyes to meet her, paused for a moment, and then wrote lightly, "It's Lestlance."

...Lestrange?

The only Lestrange that Vanessa knew was her former classmate, Simon Lestrange, who wrote for six consecutive years, oh no, a boy from a pure-blood family who gave her love letters for seven years.

She had a strange expression and didn't speak for a long time. Lucius didn't need her to say anything. He stroked the silver snake ring on his thumb and said, "Bellatrix Lestlance, she was a lady of the Black family before she got married. She was married to Rodolphus, and the husband and wife worked for that lord together. It is said that she found a draft love letter written by Rodolphus' brother Simon to you at the Lestrange house..." Speaking of which, Lu Hughes snorted indifferently, and said displeasedly, "If you can't keep your hands and feet clean, you shouldn't like someone you can't like. This makes no sense at all. I'm really worried about the future of the Lestrange family."

Vanessa: "..." You should be worried about the future of the Malfoy family, she hinted at him cryptically with her eyes.

Lucius coughed lightly, turned his eyes away and said, "So, Bella investigated your identity, and was 'surprised' to find that you are a suitable target. Writing you on it will not only meet the needs of that adult, but also meet the needs of that adult. Can hit her husband's younger brother, after all, that younger brother has been competing with Rodolphs for his father's attention." Lucius said indifferently, "It's that simple, in fact, I've already dealt with it, just to tell Tell you, let you know who is causing trouble, and stay away from that kind of person in the future." He glanced at Vanessa, as if annoyed at her attracting bees and butterflies, Vanessa pressed her forehead, and she followed Lestrange didn't say a few words at all, and it's a disaster that caused today's situation.

"How did you handle it?" Vanessa didn't want to ask at first, but after thinking about it, she still needs to know, "I have to know how you handled it, so as not to make any mistakes."

Lucius frowned slightly, raised his hand and loosened his tie and said, "You won't meet those people again, I will stay here to protect you, so you don't need to know how to deal with the matter. Is there anything to eat? I hungry."

Vanessa was stunned and said, "You just finished eating, Mr. Malfoy."

Lucius said impatiently: "Am I going to make you poor again?" He snapped his fingers, and Yeda suddenly appeared in the living room, holding a bag of Galleons in his hand, and respectfully placed it on the table superior.

"Master! Jeda has brought the money!" Jeda bowed deeply, sticking her nose to the floor.

"You can go." Lucius was a born nobleman, and being born in a family like Malfoy made him accustomed to respecting house-elves, and he didn't feel how arrogant he was domineering.After Yeda disappeared, he handed the bag of Galleons to Vanessa, raised his chin slightly under her fluttering gaze, and said, "This money is for my living expenses here."

Vanessa raised her eyebrows, lifted the bag to feel the weight of the Galleon bag, then opened the bag, took out a few gold coins from inside, and fastened it again.

"That's enough." She returned the rest to Lucius, collected the few gold coins she had taken out, and went to prepare dessert for him.

With her back to Lucius, Vanessa could probably guess how he got the Lestlance couple.

Bellatrix, if she remembers correctly, should be Narcissa's older sister, a few grades higher than them, and Lucius, as Bella's younger sister's fiancé, would be surprised if he didn't have any face.Furthermore, he was still the head of the Malfoy family, and Rodolphus would not have an affair with him because of an unknown half-blood witch.

But, how did he explain her identity to them?

Or, he didn't actually show up in person at all.

Was it Narcissa who asked for it?As a classmate for many years, ask your sister to save face?

Vanessa lowered her eyes and felt a pair of arms hug her tightly from behind.She stood there stiffly, speechless and motionless.

After a while, Lucius whispered in her ear, "Turn around, I want you to hug me too."

Vanessa was stunned, turned her head to look at his face, and then turned her body around. He opened his arms and hugged her. She hesitated for a long time, but the hand hanging by her side still didn't wrap around his waist.

St. Mungo's applications for entry were quickly approved.

Vanessa groomed one morning, put on a brand new dress, and reported to St. Mungo's.

She was finally willing to buy a new dress for herself, in order to celebrate the beginning of a new life, and also to reward herself for fulfilling her original dream.

The entrance of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries is in London's Clearing Department Store. This is an old-fashioned red brick department store. Muggles can only see the sign "Closed for renovation" on the door but cannot enter, while wizards cannot enter. You only need to explain the reason to an ugly doll in front of the window, and it will gently nod its head, wave its connected fingers, and let you in.

The way to enter the door is similar to the wall-through on platform nine and three-quarters. To enter St. Mungo's, one needs to pass through a glass. Vanessa looked at the dark glass of the department store, took a breath and stepped in, and immediately saw it. Crowds of people coming and going.

The picture suddenly became brighter, and the light also brightened. Vanessa stared curiously at the patients and therapists passing by in the hall on the first floor. The courtyard emblem, Vanessa thought that she could also put on that robe soon, and her mood that had not been very good in the past few days revived.

She went to the information desk to sign up, and someone led her to officially enter St. Mungo's.

The first floor of St. Mungo's is the Artifact Accident Department, which is mainly responsible for dealing with the damage caused by the explosion of the crucible or the fire of the wand. The second floor is the Biological Damage Department, which is mainly responsible for dealing with the damage caused by magical creatures. Looking at the introduction in his hand, they are the Department of Strange Bacteria Infection and the Department of Potion and Plant Poisoning. The department responsibilities are the same as the department names.

The department that Vanessa will join is the Spell Injury Department on the fifth floor. It is mainly responsible for treating the magic damage suffered by some wizards, such as using wrong spells, spells that cannot be eliminated, and... the unforgivable curse .

When Vanessa walked in with the guide, someone inside was crying heart-piercingly. Vanessa was startled, and looked over with a pale face, and saw an unrecognizable wizard lying on a hospital bed. Male, the only thing she can judge is that he should be very young, no more than 30 years old.

"That's Mr. Albert." Augustus Pye, who guided her, was also a trainee therapist. He was in the biological injury department. He explained to Vanessa in a low voice, "Mr. The wizard of Melon, was attacked some time ago, the damage was caused by the Cruciatus Curse, and the person who cast the spell is powerful, so..." He regrettably didn't finish, and Vanessa could understand what he meant without finishing. .

Because the magic power of the wizard who casts the Cruciatus Curse is powerful, the damage caused by the Cruciatus Curse is also very serious. The Cruciatus Curse is an unforgivable curse. Can imagine how painful that must be.

However, the pain she imagined was far less than one-tenth of what Mr. Albert showed.

He struggled and roared in pain. After the therapist in the dark green robe finished reciting all the healing spells profusely, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still trembling and unconscious.

"Did it scare you?" Seeing Vanessa's pale face and silence, Augustus touched his nose and said, "I think since you plan to become a therapist, you should still be in the Department of Spell Injury. This is a constant sight, and you will get used to it sooner or later, Miss Wilson."

Vanessa nodded and turned to look at the other patients. They were lying on the suspended hospital beds. Although they were not as painful as Mr. Albert, they were all seriously injured.

Augustus introduced: "They are also Muggle-born wizards, and..." He looked at the young woman on the hospital bed in the corner and said, "That's Miss Aisha, she is of mixed race, her father married Muggle The one who doesn’t understand magic at all.” He whispered, “Those extremists call her and her father blood traitors.” He leaned closer to Vanessa’s ear, “It’s not good to be so arbitrary, but I personally I believe that the attacks on these wizards were all caused by that organization, even though the Ministry of Magic has no conclusive evidence." He shrugged, "I have read the article published by that person in the Daily Prophet, and it is very inflammatory."

As for the specific organization, Augustus did not specify, but normal people can guess.

Vanessa lowered her eyes quietly. Under the leadership of Augustus, she finally completed the entry procedures and received her work card and uniform.

She will officially start work tomorrow, so she can go home temporarily today.

After saying goodbye to Augustus, Vanessa went to the store on the sixth floor of St. Mungo's to buy ice cream, and then Apparated back home.

Surprisingly, just as she stood firm, she saw Lucius who had just returned here. He was dusty and was unbuttoning the collar of the white shirt in the black robe. When he saw her, he said casually: " Looks like the reporting is over."

Vanessa looked at Lucius with complicated emotions. She couldn't help recalling the patients she saw on the sixth floor of St. Mungo's. The pain they suffered was beyond her expectation. She knew that the lord Extremely, I also know that he is about to choose some people to attack, so as to establish his position in the magic world as soon as possible, but...

Seeing it with your own eyes is a completely different experience from seeing it in your head.

If it weren't for Lucius, maybe she and her mother were lying together in St. Mungo's now, where would she have the opportunity to enjoy the peaceful and stable days where dreams can be realized.

"Mr. Malfoy."

She still called him politely, but in the next second, she threw herself into his arms uncontrollably.

He was much taller than her, with firm and reliable arms, and a great sense of security.He stood there unexpectedly, caught her firmly, and said in a bad tone: "Who in St. Mungoire did what? Tell me his name, and I will make him regret it."

Listening to him mistakenly thinking that she was wronged in the hospital and going to vent her anger for her, as if pampering her daughter's father, she pursed her lips sadly, shook her head in his arms and said, "No, no one will do it." What, everyone is very friendly, it's just..." It's just that what she saw made her realize how hard-earned this peace is now, and also understood what kind of harm Lucius had avoided for her. So clearly aware that she needs to repay and appreciate him, now she knows that she is wrong.

"Thank you."

She owes him a thank you. From the beginning to the end, she never thanked him for this matter. Lucius stood there, looking down at the girl in his arms, taking a full view of the girl's confusion and tension. He Slowly raised his hand, patted her on the back, and said in a helpless tone: "You're welcome. Then, can you move it away first? The ice cream in your hand got on me."

Vanessa stepped back immediately and saw that the ice cream she had completely forgotten was all on Lucius' chest, and his expensive robe and shirt were all spared.

Vanessa was dumbfounded, and subconsciously used her hands to clean it up for him. She flinched when the cold touch reached her fingertips. Lucius felt a little distressed when she saw her obviously frightened, but he was not good at expressing his feelings. , and didn't want to expose his feelings for her too much, he was afraid of scaring her even more, and he had many other concerns.

So he just grabbed her reckless little hand and cleaned it up with a noiseless stick, and the shirt and robe were restored to their original appearance.

Vanessa slowly came back to her senses, and took a peek at his handsome and noble face in embarrassment. Lucius' long platinum blonde hair hung on his shoulders and was not tied with a headband. His hair was of excellent quality, soft and shiny , which made him look exceptionally handsome.Like his own soft light, he is eye-catching and unique wherever he goes.He is different from anyone, and no one can compare to him.

"Do not be afraid."

After cleaning up, he took her hand and said to her, "I'm here, there's nothing to be afraid of." He looked serious and spoke seriously, and her gaze passed over his clear skin, high and firm nose bridge, and finally fixed on his slender, contemptuous eyes.

Actually he is a bad guy.

Vanessa knows.

The harm suffered by those people in St. Mungo might be part of him.

However, it was also this bad guy who saved her from those sufferings.

Lucius Malfoy is a villain, he has no principles, no value of life, despises Muggles, and all Muggle-born wizards.In order to maximize his benefits, he can follow that adult and do hurtful and illegal things according to the other's request.Vanessa knew all this, but she really couldn't be afraid of him because of it, nor could she hate him.

Maybe, she thought, she and Roxy weren't all that different, at least they were both selfish.

The world is like this, Vanessa can't protect herself, and she can't care about justice and fairness.

Nor could she blame Lucius for the hurt the stranger had suffered.The only thing she can do is to persuade him not to get too close to the center of the dispute, not to hurt too many people, and to leave a way out for himself when he is still willing to listen to her.

After all, she is only a woman, not a hero.

last of the last.

Vanessa looked at Lucius and nodded, then looked away and lowered her head and said, "Okay, I'm not afraid."
