Towards the end of June, Lucius stopped coming.

Vanessa knew exactly what he had done.

He is getting married.

Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time and thought that she could face this matter calmly, Vanessa still couldn't help but feel a little sad while sitting on the bed in the bedroom.

She looked at this bedroom in despair, there were traces of Lucius' life everywhere, the newspapers he had read, his quills, parchment, his perfume, and his clothes hanging in the closet.

There are traces of him everywhere, and there is no him anywhere.

Probably he couldn't tell her his whereabouts calmly, so after he left this time, he didn't contact her again.

Looking at the double-sided mirror on the table that was almost covered with dust, Vanessa raised her hands to cover her face.

On the first day of July, Vanessa returned home from St. Mungo's in the evening. She didn't go to eat immediately, but took a shower first, and then cleaned herself up carefully.

She tied her long blond hair into a bun, put on her most decent clothes, squatted halfway in front of the table, and took out an invitation from the bottom drawer.

Today is Lucius and Narcissa's wedding day.

It's also her birthday.

But she's not going to celebrate her birthday, she's going to a wedding.

Vanessa told herself, you have to go, you have to see, you can't immerse yourself in the sweet life with only each other for nearly a month, because that sweetness is stolen and fake.

You have to be sober.

Breathing out slowly, Vanessa pressed the wax on the outside of the invitation, and felt her navel hooked, and then the scene in front of her eyes changed, from her narrow Muggle house to the luxurious and huge Malfoy Manor.

Looking up, looking at the tall and elegant building in front of her, Vanessa was surrounded by people who came to the wedding. They all came together, and none of them was as lonely as Vanessa.

She stood there, wrapped her long black coat tightly, and walked towards the gate of the manor step by step.

Vanessa's beauty increases with age.

She just got off work today. Although she was a little tired, after careful makeup, her pretty face and slim figure still exuded a unique charm in the night.Although the passers-by felt that she was not well-dressed enough and that she was a little out of place when she came alone, they were still impressed by the beauty of this young woman, and they secretly speculated in their hearts whose lady it was.

Vanessa walked to the door of Malfoy Manor without turning her eyes. There was never a moment that made her feel more disparity between herself and Lucius than now. The more majestic the Malfoy Manor, the smaller she was. into the dust.

She raised her hand and placed the invitation on the magic flower vine at the gate of the manor, and the flower vine immediately changed its posture and turned into "Welcome Miss Vanessa Wilson".

That's the beauty of magic.

Even though her surname was still Albert when the invitation was sent out, since she changed her surname to Wilson, the surname on the invitation has automatically changed.

Ignoring those probing gazes, Vanessa stepped into the gate of the manor. The tone of the entire Malfoy manor was restrained, chic and noble. In a word, it is... a typical Slytherin style manor.

Vanessa looked over the conversation crowd and saw the two protagonists of tonight.Lucius and Narcissa stood side by side, with the same haughty smiles on their faces. Even though the guests who came to the wedding banquet were all people of equal status, their pride was understandable. One was from the Malfoy family, one was from the Malfoy family. From the Black family, they have the capital to be proud, and it's strange if they are not proud.

Vanessa took a few steps back. She thought that she might not have the courage to face the scene in front of her. Seeing her beloved man standing next to other women, accepting blessings with her like a pair of lovers, her whole heart was like It's like being tied up with a rope, and it's almost impossible to jump.

She turned her head away in a panic, her bun was a little messy, and a few strands of golden hair fell to her ears.

She quickened her pace, walked to the wine table with champagne, picked up a glass of champagne, and drank it quickly.

The cool liquid slowly flowed into her body, and Vanessa calmed down a lot. She squeezed the glass tightly in her hand and put it back on the wine table. The empty champagne glass disappeared immediately, which was obviously from the house elf. handwriting.

As an ancient pure-blood nobleman, the Malfoy family has many house-elves. Vanessa has seen Dobby and Jedda, but she doesn't know about the others, and she won't have the chance to know them in the future.

With her back facing the direction where Lucius was, Vanessa lowered her head and took another glass of champagne. Just as she was about to drink it, someone walked towards her from the corner of her eye.

It was Simon Lestrange.

Recalling what Lucius told her, Vanessa's face was a little ugly, she raised her foot and wanted to avoid it, but Lestlance was fast and caught up.

"Miss Wilson!" Lestrange chased Vanessa for a while, almost forcing her to stop. When she turned her head irritably, he froze for a moment, pursed his lips and said, "Please don't get me wrong, I It's just... just..."

"Mr. Lestrange," interrupted Vanessa, "it's probably my fault for not reciprocating your feelings positively, and I think it's about time. We're not a good fit—in terms of status." Or in terms of character, your family must think so. So, can you please treat me as if you didn’t see me in the future?” She was almost begging him, “I really don’t want to cause trouble, you can understand what I mean ?"

Simon Lestrange probably thought of the list, and said with a pale face, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that kind of thing would happen..."

Vanessa didn't want to stand with him for too long, it was too conspicuous, and she pulled away from him, which hurt him.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, nodded and said: "I see, when I see you in the future, I will pretend that I didn't see you... I'm really sorry." He turned and left, and almost fell when he left, Vanessa knew You shouldn't be so disrespectful to others, but when it's about your own safety, you simply can't care that much.

Holding the champagne in her hand, Vanessa found a corner in the hall of the manor and sat down irritably, planning to spend it here until the wedding was over and then go home.Lucius' wedding will last for three days, and the house elves have prepared a room for every guest present. The Malfoy Manor is big enough to accommodate everyone, but it is impossible for Vanessa to live there.

Impossible.

Every second she was here was suffering, and she felt that she came here today to seek abuse.

Leaning against the wall behind her, Vanessa's position is very inconspicuous, and she can relax for a moment.She slowly raised her eyes, and looked at the scene of the wedding banquet with misty eyes. Some people she knew, some she didn't know, and the man she was most familiar with, the man who knew every inch of his skin, stood in front of everyone's attention. There was another woman standing beside her.

After drinking the champagne, Vanessa stood up, put the glass on a table, and was about to drink another glass of wine, when her eyes suddenly went dark, and then the picture changed, and she entered a room.

This was Malfoy Manor, and there was no one else who could take her to a certain room at will.

Vanessa raised her head and looked at the tall man standing in front of her. He was wearing a black tuxedo, a white satin vest, and a shirt with a stand-up collar. The neckline was pinned with an elegant bow tie with black diamonds. His long platinum-blond hair was hanging smoothly Over the shoulder, is Lucius.

He is today's groom, so dazzling that she can't even look at him directly.

He was supposed to stand outside with the bride to receive the guests, but he was standing here now, making Vanessa even more flustered.

"...You don't need to entertain me, Mr. Malfoy." Vanessa took a breath and said, "I can take care of myself, you can go and Miss Black... No, it should be Mrs. Malfoy, you can go and She entertains others together."

When she was talking, she didn't dare to look at Lucius at all, and her eyes flicked around. Lucius kept watching her, and when she was at a loss, he brought her from the wedding banquet to this room, and then grabbed her hand, so she had to look at him.

"You said before that you didn't have time to entertain me."

Vanessa bit her lip, her emerald green eyes were fixed on him, her voice was slightly choked.

Lucius opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to say dryly, "I said so." But when he saw her sitting alone in a corner drinking, he couldn't help but come over.He didn't even know what he was doing, whether he was under the Imperius Curse.

"You really don't need to worry about me." Vanessa smiled reluctantly, "I will leave here soon, I just came...to take a look, I think I should come, to see this grand wedding, and then ..." Then I can completely give up on you.

She couldn't say that last sentence because Lucius didn't give her a chance.

He lowered his head and kissed her lips rudely. Vanessa struggled hard, and when she finally broke free from his shackles, she said in disbelief, "Are you crazy?" She opened her green eyes wide, "This is you The wedding scene, do you know what you are doing, Mr Malfoy?"

"Lucius." He approached her without changing his expression.

Vanessa was stunned: "What?"

"Lucius." He spoke again, his voice low, with extremely complicated emotions, "Call me by my first name, Nissa. You always call me Mr. Malfoy politely, but I want to hear you call me your name." He embraced her and pressed her heavily into his arms, "Call me by my name, Nissa."

Vanessa froze in his arms, tears fell inexplicably, she was silent for a long time before she said hoarsely: "I can't..."

"You can." Lucius put his hand on her waist with great strength, as if he wanted to rub her into his body, "Call me by name, Nissa, please..."

He was almost begging her, he had never lowered his posture so low.

Vanessa couldn't even be sure that the person holding her was the always-on-top Malfoy.

She was passively hugged by him, and it took a long time before she said, "Lucius..."

The person holding her froze for a moment, and slowly, he let go of her.

She raised her head, and he lowered his head to kiss her again, it was a quick, clean kiss that ended at the first touch.

Vanessa stared into his eyes. Lucius' gray-blue eyes were gorgeous, restrained and deep. At that moment, Vanessa seemed to see love in his eyes.

"Did you know." He said inexplicably, his words didn't match up.

Vanessa looked at him in confusion and asked, "What?"

I hope it is you who will marry me today.

This is what Lucius wanted to tell her in his heart.

But in the end he just tilted his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "It's nothing."

After finishing speaking, he opened the distance between the two, straightened her loose hair with his slender white hands, and said softly: "I have to go, there are many people waiting for me outside."

His wife is also waiting for her.She has a noble status and can support the wife of the Malfoy family.

Vanessa froze there, nodded, and watched him leave.

Lucius gave her a deep look, and when he finally left, he didn't look back.

Vanessa didn't come out of the room until some time after he left.

The room was on the first floor, away from the crowd, very secluded, no one noticed what happened here.

She walked into the crowd step by step, and looked towards the center with everyone.

The dazzling groom returned to the scene, standing next to his new wife, as dignified and elegant as ever, as if everything that had just happened was just Vanessa's fantasy.

The wedding officially started.

They exchanged rings, they kissed each other, and they were married in the blessing and admiration of everyone.

In the crowd, Parkinson and Greengrass, who used to study together, cast contemptuous glances at Vanessa, as if they were laughing at her husband who had approached others beyond his control.

Vanessa forced herself to keep her eyes open to see all this. She told herself to remember this moment clearly, remember that when she was 17 years old, on her birthday, the man she loved the most married another woman.

She forced herself to remember, remember the feeling of self-esteem and love being crushed into the dust at this moment, she told herself to keep smiling, this is the only decent way she can maintain in the end, she told herself to swallow all the pain and pain Tears, all of this is her own choice now, she can't cry, she can't even show any frustration, she has to laugh, she has to laugh for everyone to see, she has to understand that from now on, that feeling will be in the past, Since she still can't get it, stop jumping up like a moth foolishly, and from now on, she has to treat herself better.

At the end of the ceremony, the Malfoys walked down the steps slowly and approached the crowd. Vanessa took a few steps back, her high heels stepped on the air for a moment, and she almost fell.

Someone supported her, she looked over with red eyes, and met a pair of gray ones.

"You look really embarrassed."

Sirius Black is here to attend the wedding. As Narcissa's cousin and the heir of the Black family, he has a legitimate reason to be here,

He was wearing a black velvet robe, and there was a trace of trouble on his young and handsome face. He held her in his arms so that she would not fall. At this moment, everyone's attention was on Lucius and Narcissa, and no one Noticed this little episode.

Except... Lucius himself, who seems to be focused on the wedding, but has been paying attention to Vanessa himself.

"Do you need me to take you out of here?" Sirius whispered in Vanessa's ear, "or to put it another way, do you need me to save you?" He grinned, a typical aristocratic reserved smirk, Vanessa Sha had seen it on many Slytherin faces, but this was the first time she saw Sirius' face.

She lowered her head in silence, did not speak, but unconsciously grabbed his arm.

Sirius suppressed his insincere smile, snorted coldly, took her arm, made her lean against him, and led her out of Malfoy Manor, apparating away from the gate.

Seeing the sudden change of scene, Vanessa felt a lot less depressed. She told herself to calm down and not lose her composure like a little girl who lost her love. The demeanor a sister should have.

"I warned you."

Black stood in front of her, expressionless: "Damn it, you don't seem to listen to me at all. I really don't know what's so good about Malfoy, you all have to jump into the fire pit."

Vanessa opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself, but she soon realized that what he said was not wrong, what he said was right, she had no way of refuting it, she could only shut her mouth, and wait with a blank face for his possible subsequent outburst Anger and blame.

but.

Nothing at all.

She seemed to hear him sigh before his voice sounded again.

"Where do you live?" He asked coldly, in a businesslike tone.

It was only then that Vanessa noticed that the place where they were standing was by a lake, she couldn't name it, it was probably a place Sirius chose randomly.

She reached out to him subconsciously, Sirius seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and quickly grabbed her hand, and then the two of them Apparated again.

This time they appeared at Vanessa's residence.

She finally calmed down and said with a smile, "What would you like to drink? I don't have so many choices here, only coffee and water."

Sirius stared at her, and asked irrelevantly: "You don't have to smile if you don't want to. Do you know how annoying your forced smile is?"

she does not know.

But she will pay attention in the future.

Vanessa pursed her lips, turned around and poured him a glass of water, and said in a low voice, "It's late at night, drinking coffee may affect sleep, so drink water." She waved her wand and warmed the water, Sirius saw It's ridiculous.

"Are you stupid? It's summer, who wants hot water?"

Vanessa came back to her senses, turned the water cold again in shame, her cheeks flushed slightly, "I'm sorry, I... really, really shouldn't."

She put the wand on the table, bowed her head in silence for a while, and then said with a smile, "Do I look like a fool now?"

Sirius said expressionlessly: "You don't look like a fool, you are at all."

He walked up, pulled her into his arms, and said forcefully: "I told you, don't laugh if you don't want to laugh, cry if you want to cry, I can pretend I didn't see it. But I want to remind you, Vanessa, Only this time, if you shed tears because of Malfoy next time, I don't guarantee that I will do anything."

Vanessa leaned in his arms, the young man had a clear fragrance mixed with a faint smell of tobacco, she said distractedly, "Are you smoking?"

Sirius' expression froze, and he said irritably: "Why do you care so much? It's just a few Muggle cigarettes. Potter got them. He took me to Evans' house. She lives in the Muggle world and has a lot of interesting things. s things."

Vanessa smiled, this time it was from the heart, she felt a lot more relaxed, she stepped back and opened the distance between the two: "Thank you, Sirius, without you tonight, I don't know who I am. How are you going to spend it?"

Sirius stood beside her, licked the corner of his mouth, stared at her and said, "Are you implying that I will spend the whole night with you? In case you don't know what to do."

After he finished speaking, he took another step forward, and Vanessa stepped back subconsciously, leaning against the table behind her.Sirius bent down, and she bent down with her head up. The two of them advanced and retreated, maintaining this posture. A smile gradually appeared in Sirius' gray eyes.

"You look exactly like the one in the Muggle woman poster."

He raised his hand, grabbed her chin, and said in a low voice, "Even if I didn't say anything, it still seems to be tempting."

Vanessa stared wide-eyed at the boy's handsome face, she held her breath, her brain was about to explode.

Just when she thought he was going to kiss her, Sirius suddenly smiled and said in a strange tone: "What are you expecting?"

Vanessa came back to her senses, pushed him away suddenly, and said in shame: "There is nothing! Go away! Don't lean in!"

Sirius stood there triumphantly, took out a beautifully packaged jewelry box from his pocket, and said with a smile, "Not going? How can I do that, but how can I give you a birthday present?"

birthday present.

Vanessa looked at him in surprise, how would he know?

Sirius said indifferently: "Do you know that your birthday is very strange? If you want me to say, your birthday this year will definitely be unforgettable forever." He stretched out his hand, handed over his gift, and said to himself, "But it's not because of that terrible episode. experience. It's because of me." He paused every word, "Because of me, Sirius Black."
