[HP] just lover

Vanessa eats desserts very carefully. She doesn't feel hungry when she doesn't eat, but only after eating do she realize that she is indeed hungry.

St. Mungo's work is very busy and very tiring. Although the salary is considerable, she sometimes needs to be busy until late at night to go home. The irregular meal time makes her stomach often feel uncomfortable. At this time, the benefits of the potion are reflected. Stomach problems that are difficult to deal with in front of Muggles, in the eyes of wizards, a dose of potion is enough.

Of course, she couldn't always do this, and it would be foolish to rely too much on potions.

After eating dessert, Vanessa suddenly thought of something and looked at Lucius. Lucius was sitting behind the desk, looking at her quietly with his head on one hand for an unknown amount of time.

Vanessa was suddenly a little embarrassed, and she was silent for a while before she said, "Have you eaten? I seem to have finished eating."

She put down the fork, a little uncomfortable, Lucius didn't move, and said to her calmly: "I've eaten outside." After a moment, he finally made a movement, stood up slowly, and walked to the Pensieve beside.

Vanessa now has a shadow over the Pensieve, and the fear of the unknown that you don't know what you're about to see isn't much kinder than Voldemort's presence.

"What do you want me to watch again?" Vanessa sat on the sofa and refused to move. "I don't want to watch it. You can just repeat it to me."

I knew it in the dialogue, and I always feel that it is easier to accept without pictures.

Lucius pressed his forehead a little tiredly, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "If possible, I would like to repeat it to you, but I think you have to see it yourself."

Vanessa still didn't want to move.

Lucius raised his chin slightly, looked at Vanessa, and said in a slow voice, "Be obedient, Nisha, come here."

Lucius' voice was nice to hear.

It is the kind of tone that is extremely textured, and you can feel noble even just by simply listening to the sound.

When he usually speaks to others, he always speaks in a condescending manner, and draws long, almost like an aria, which is very in line with his status as a nobleman.

But when talking to her, Lucius doesn't wear that pretense.

He will use the most original voice to talk to her, deep, melodious, magnetic, with a unique masculine charm.

Vanessa walked to the Pensieve without knowing it.

She stood there, staring at the deep blue silence, and Lucius raised his hand, and she jumped away, which made him a little startled.

For a moment, he said to her: "Sorry, I was too rude last time."

Apparently, he also remembered how he pressed Vanessa's head to force her to look at his memory last time, and later even pulled her hair forcibly pulling her up.

No matter how you look at it, this is not something a decent gentleman should do. He was silent for a while in embarrassment, and said, "You can watch it yourself when you are ready." After a short pause, he said softly, "Of course, you It's better to be mentally prepared, this memory...is related to Mrs. Wilson. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to bring it to you."

"Bring it to me?" Vanessa said dully.

"Yes. Bring it to you." Lucius said truthfully, "I found...the murderer who hurt Mrs. Wilson. Before killing him, I found this memory in his mind. If you really don't want to see it, I You won't be forced to. But even so, I think you should see it."

Vanessa looked at Lucius with complicated eyes. Lucius' firm expression seemed to give her courage. She had finally forgotten the guilt she felt for killing her mother. Now that it was aroused again, she felt her heart I was squeezed so hard that I almost couldn't breathe on my own.

After adjusting her emotions, Vanessa finally bent down and sank into the Pensieve.

As Lucius said, this is a memory about Roxy.

It was Roxy's last experience before his death.

The murderer had her eye on her when she showed up in Diagon Alley.

Vanessa saw that Roxie in the eyes of the murderer was like a piece of meat on a chopping board. She didn't know that the danger was approaching, so she walked into Madam Malkin's robe shop with a smile on her lips.

Immediately afterwards, the scene changed, and it was inside the robe shop, where the murderer seemed to be hiding, eavesdropping on her conversation with Mrs. Malkin.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm here to give you the rest of the money at this time."

Roxy took out some Galleons from the bag he carried with him and handed them to Mrs. Malkin. Mrs. Malkin took it and said with a smile, "It's nothing, dear, you paid the deposit, didn't you?"

Roxy smiled and said with a warm look on his face: "I like that dress very much, it is very suitable for my daughter, she is an adult, but she doesn't even have a decent dress... I know, she I definitely don't want me to use other people's money to buy clothes for her, so..." She smiled ashamedly, and clasped her hands together, "So I can only pay the final payment until now. I am an incompetent mother, and I have never What did I do for her, I've always been so selfish and only thinking about myself. If that guy didn't wake me up, I'm afraid I still don't know how bad I was lost. But luckily... I woke up in time, I think now is the time for me to pay for her."

Mrs. Malkin said kindly: "She must be able to feel your intentions. That dress is very beautiful. I can guarantee that no girl will not like it."

Roxie seemed to think of Vanessa's appearance in the dress, and said firmly: "Yes, she will definitely like it. I will learn to make money in the future, and I will not let her bear the pressure alone... Although this time only I can buy this dress for her by selling jewelry, but I will definitely be able to support us with the money I earn in the future."

Mrs. Malkin hugged Roxie emotionally, and said softly: "Then next time, I will give you a [-]% discount, dear."

Roxy smiled happily, that smile made her seem to have returned to the happy and confident appearance of her youth. She said goodbye to Madam Malkin and left the gown shop. She probably wanted to go directly to Vanessa's rented house, but still Before she could take any action, someone who suddenly emerged from the alley covered her mouth and dragged her into an empty corner.

And then... the murderer avoided the attention of others and dragged her into Knockturn Alley.

Vanessa couldn't stand the memory anymore.

She could foresee what would happen next. A crazy, irrational Death Eater captured a pure-blood traitor. One could imagine how he would torture the other party.

Vanessa raised her head in embarrassment, her blond hair was disheveled on her shoulders. She tried her best to support her body, but she almost fell down. Lucius helped her in time, and she exited his arms directly, and immediately used the Portkey to leave here .

Looking at the empty embrace, Lucius destroyed the memory in the Pensieve, took his coat, and hurriedly chased after it.

Vanessa went home.

Back to her very small house in the Muggle world.

At the door of the house, there are delicate and blooming flowers. The reason why she chose this house was because of these flowers in the flower garden.

She always remembered the flowers that Roxy had planted at the door of the temporary house in Wiltshire.

At that time, she thought that if Roxy came here to see it, she would definitely like these flowers.As a daughter, she always hoped that one day her mother would be able to see these flowers and smile lovingly at them.

But Vanessa will never wait for that day.

Roxy left her forever.

They didn't even take a look at the small home that Vanessa prepared for their future life.

Stumbling into the room, Vanessa rushed to her bedroom with tears all over her face, opened the closet, and found the dress hanging in the deepest part of the closet.

It was her birthday, and Roxy sent her a gift. At that time, she thought she bought it with Lucius' money, or that Lucius gave it to her, so she didn't even look at it, so she hung it on the In the deepest part of the closet, I never thought that I would take it out one day.

Unpacking the dust bag outside the dress and taking out the dress, Vanessa looked at this silver mermaid evening dress, it was really beautiful, just like Roxy said, it was very, very suitable for her.

When Lucius arrived here, Vanessa had already changed into that dress.

It's really beautiful.

Standing in front of the mirror, Vanessa looked at herself in the mirror, trying to find the similarities between herself and Roxy.

They are mother and daughter, they are very similar in certain angles, but Vanessa has inherited many of her father's advantages. Her father, Mr. Albert, is a rare handsome man, otherwise she wouldn't let a pure-blood The witch of the family is so fascinated.

Roxie was desperate for her love. She married him when she didn't know how to be a housewife, and gave birth to Vanessa when she didn't know how to be a good mother. Then, And when she couldn't completely hide the existence of her daughter's magic power, she exposed her wizard identity.

Then, she was abandoned, and the stable family was destroyed.

If from her point of view, it was Vanessa who ruined all of this, if Vanessa was not a wizard when she was born, or if the magic riot hadn't been so early, or in front of her father, wouldn't it have ruined her parents? marriage.

Wouldn't Mr. Albert run away like crazy?

Vanessa is a child.

As a child, she has no way to choose whether to be born or not. It is the mother who decides to give birth to her, so the mother also has an unshirkable responsibility for what happened after giving birth to her.

Because of this, Roxy sensibly did not resent Vanessa.She barely supported the lives of the two of them, but even though she betrayed the family, she was a beloved only daughter before that, and even after betraying the family and marrying a Muggle husband, she was happy for a while.It was Vanessa's birth that ended her happy life, her ability was not enough for her to live with a child, she tried one job after another, but couldn't do anything well, she could only rely on government subsidies And the money earned from odd jobs to support their mother and daughter.

Until she couldn't hold on any longer.

Vanessa was in sixth grade at the time.

She seemed to suddenly understand why Roxy didn't want to live a poor life after meeting Lucius.

She doubts her abilities and is fed up with putting all the burden on her daughter, so she chooses to deceive herself and live a false and luxurious life.She knew it was unbearable to be selfish, but she didn't come out so quickly.

Perhaps it was the time Sirius met her that convinced her to face reality.

Vanessa didn't want to ask Sirius what he had said to his mother, and she didn't even intend to let him know of her death.

At this point, she was the one who told Sirius about his mother, and it was she who agreed for Sirius to see his mother. This matter has nothing to do with him. He doesn't need to hear the bad news and feel guilty.

Vanessa sat down on the bed behind her in a daze, her head bowed, her blond hair falling over her shoulders, covering almost all of her face.

Lucius stood by her side, looked at her depressed appearance, was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "Although I expected you to be like this, but seeing you like this, I still regret showing you those things. memory."

Vanessa raised her head little by little, looked at Lucius with tears in her eyes, forced a smile and said, "Really. But I want to thank you for finding these and showing them to me." She stood up again, facing him , and said to him, "This is the dress she bought for me and sent it to me on my birthday. I thought she bought it with your money, or you asked her to give it to me, so I didn't plan to wear it." It was thrown directly into the closet." She choked up and said, "It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Lucius looked at her unbearably, and finally came over and hugged her into his arms.

Lucius came out in a hurry and was not dressed as usual. He only wore a long black coat with a white shirt inside. He held a cane in one hand and put Vanessa in the other, kissing the top of her hair Said: "Don't blame yourself, Nisha, you didn't do anything wrong, it's the world that's wrong."

The world is like this.

It's not just Vanessa, countless families of hemp-seeded wizards have been attacked, and some of them even have their entire family killed. Vanessa is still living safely, which is already a kind of luck.

"One day." Vanessa pursed her lips tightly and clenched her fists in his arms, "One day, he will get his retribution."

As the most powerful subordinate of the Dark Lord, the most loyal believer, and the military adviser under the executioner, Lucius hugged the girl in his arms and echoed her, saying: "Yes, he will get retribution, I will let him get retribution ,I promise you that."

Vanessa's green eyes were deep and clear, she seemed to smile, but didn't seem to.

She looked up at him innocently, "You will let him get retribution? Really? Don't lie to me?"

Lucius stared at her intently with his gray-blue eyes, and said without hesitation, "Really, I won't lie to you. I will make him get retribution."

...that would be wonderful.

Vanessa hooked her lips, hid the darkness in her eyes, and whispered hoarsely: "But I still don't deserve to be forgiven." She opened the distance between the two and pointed at herself, "I'm a sinner, I've always been a sinner." I resent Roxy for being unworthy of being a mother, but why am I not an unqualified daughter?"

Lucius couldn't stand Vanessa going on like this.

He stepped forward, bowed his head and kissed her lips.

He threw the cane aside, and the scepter that symbolized the Malfoy family was just thrown away, and Abraxas's coffin could hardly hold it down.

"Lucius..."

Vanessa called his name softly, with a certain satisfaction and contradiction of achieving her goal.

Lucius may or may not be able to hear it, he doesn't think about those complicated entanglements, he only has one thought in his mind.

Maybe he was afraid that the road ahead would be difficult, and he knew that he had chosen a more difficult path than following the Dark Lord to Darkness, but when he arrived at this moment, he knew that he would never regret it.

Lucius did not return to Malfoy Manor.

Narcissa waited at home for a while before resting directly.

They never interfered with each other's lives, except for occasionally discussing the lord and attending the Dark Lord's party together, they always abide by the rules, like a pair of good friends.

Narcissa used to think that Lucius was more rational than emotional, even if he fell in love with someone, he would not be influenced by that person, or even change his decision.He will not let women interfere in his life, lovers are just for him to relieve boredom, his ambition is not limited to an honorary minister of the Ministry of Magic, or a confidant of the Duke of Darkness, he wants the Malfoy family to be forever Standing at the highest position in the wizarding world, he has ambition and knows it well.

However, thinking about the time when he suddenly disappeared at the wedding, Narcissa felt that she actually misjudged Lucius.

Maybe he wasn't as cold-blooded as she thought.

But that has nothing to do with her.

As long as he maintains the Malfoy family and helps the Black family when necessary, then the purpose of their marriage will be achieved.

What she needed was Mrs. Malfoy's identity from beginning to end, not Mr. Malfoy's feelings.

Days passed by, and when Christmas was approaching, Vanessa's mood finally improved, and the study of Occlumency was put back on the agenda.

She appeared in Lucius's study in the Malfoy Manor. Lucius was writing a letter at the time. Holding a quill in his bony hand, he lowered his head and carefully wrote lines of beautiful classical cursive characters, without moving his head. He said, "Jeda, prepare dinner for Miss Green."

The study time is still at night.

Lucius did not write the letter behind Vanessa's back at all, but Vanessa consciously hid aside and did not read the content of his letter.

Jeda appears and serves dinner to Vanessa, who was Albert, became Wilson, and eventually Miss Green.

Looking at the food on the table, Vanessa couldn't help but said, "You always let me eat at this table, but it's not a dining table. Does this conform to the etiquette of the Malfoy family?"

Lucius finally raised his head slightly from the letter, looked at her intently with his gray-blue eyes and said, "I don't even mind, what do you care about."

Vanessa choked, stopped talking, and simply sat down to eat.

She is indeed hungry.

After a busy day, she felt that her legs were not her own anymore, so she kneaded them while eating.

After Lucius finished writing the envelope, he called an ordinary owl and mailed the letter.

Standing by the window, watching the owl fly away, Lucius said to Vanessa, "The letter is for Dumbledore."

Vanessa couldn't help eating.He started to move, really fast.She should be happy, it meant that the Dark Lord's downfall was near, but she wasn't happy at all.

Lucius would be dangerous.

Vanessa frowned irritably.

"I really hate this unsafe way of communicating, but that old guy is very busy recently, and it's not convenient for me to meet him recently, so I can only do it temporarily. But I added blood magic to the letter, only Dumbledore himself It can only be checked by dripping blood, usually there will be no problem." Lucius turned around, "Leg hurts?"

Vanessa looked down at her hand that was still on her calf, slowly put it away and said, "It's nothing, just a little tired."

Lucius stood there hesitating for a while, then came over and sat beside her, bent down, and put his hand on her calf.

Vanessa was taken aback, flattered to be exact, that's Lucius Malfoy, you want him to rub your legs, my God, do you think you're the Dark Lord?

"Don't do that."

Vanessa broke out in a sweat, "I can just rub it myself, I will boil a potion later, and I'll be fine after drinking it."

Lucius forcefully pushed away her troublesome hands, bending over to rub her legs was uncomfortable, he simply left the sofa, squatted halfway beside her, gently massaged her sore calves, lowered his head and calmly Ask: "Is it better?"

Vanessa was speechless.

She looked at Lucius with complicated emotions, and said after a while, "Okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Lucius had rubbed her for a while at this time. To be honest, he really wasn't used to doing this kind of thing. He was used to being a superior, and he felt unwell after serving others for a while.

He withdrew his hand, stood up, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said to her: "Then continue eating, and get down to business after eating."

Being taught Occlumency by Patriarch Malfoy is really unimaginable treatment. Vanessa quickly took a few mouthfuls of food to show that she is full and can start.

Lucius looked suspiciously at the leftovers on the table, and then looked at her face. She has been haggard a lot recently, but it still doesn't affect her beauty, and that fragility adds to her aura of a sickly beauty. Just looking at her like this made his mouth dry.

Turning his head hastily and letting Jedah clean up the dinner on the table, Lucius pulled out his wand and said, "Try to resist my invasion and protect the secrets you don't want me to know."

Vanessa nodded: "I see."

Lucius: "..." Do you really have any secrets that you don't want me to know?

He squinted at her, and Vanessa turned her head away from him, so he snorted coldly and uttered a spell: "—— Legilimency."

Vanessa only felt a powerful force invade her mind. This was the first time for her to be taken by someone else's Legilimency. Although she was mentally prepared, it was only after she really started that she realized that she was defenseless.

Even though she tried her best to drive the force out, it kept getting deeper and deeper, and then...

Then Lucius saw all of Vanessa's memories.

Mostly nothing, just normal things, Hogwarts, what happened to St. Mungo's at work, Roxy's death, and... his emotional entanglements.

He saw her earnest look when she made the Felicia for him in the sixth grade, and probably thought it was for him. She had a sweet smile on her face when she made it. All their relationship started from the bottle of Felicity. In the beginning, Lucius still kept it in his collection, neither willing nor thought about using it.

She loves him.

The more he looked at her memory, the more Lucius could feel it.

When she was a student at Hogwarts, she actually remembered every time he protected her without a trace, and she remembered it clearly.

The picture he saw in her mind was so clear, he never knew that when he helped her and protected her, he looked like the tall and unapproachable Master Bingshan.

He thought that he treated her at least a little gentler than others, and he was indeed like that, but he had never seen his indifferent face when facing others, so there was no comparison, so he felt that he was so indifferent to Fanny. Sarah is so cold.

And then, before he could think about it, he saw Sirius Black in her mind.

Everything that follows is about Sirius Black.

They watched the stars together on Valentine's Day, when he waited foolishly on the side of the double-sided mirror.

He spent her birthday with her, gave her birthday presents, and—he even kissed her, more than once.

More than once.

Lucius suddenly felt a force that pushed him out of her mind. Obviously, the owner of the mind didn't want him to see this. She finally tried her best to resist, and then she succeeded.

Yeah.

He really couldn't stand it anymore.

Pressing the wand firmly on the table, Lucius didn't even want to look at Vanessa, and said with a pale and ugly expression: "I think, I know what the secrets you don't want me to know are."

He stood up, suppressed his emotions and said: "I must calm down, come here today, go back and feel the feeling of not wanting to be spied on, and then, next time, let's try again."

He turned around directly, put his hand on his forehead, and ignored Vanessa, as if he could restrain himself from hurting her because of his anger.

Vanessa was sitting on the sofa, drenched in sweat. She exhausted all her strength to get Lucius out of her mind. secondary.

Thinking about what Lucius saw, Vanessa frowned, didn't speak, and took out the port key to leave.

Just a second before she was about to leave, Lucius finally couldn't control it anymore.

He turned around and grabbed Vanessa who stood up and was about to leave. Vanessa was already weak, but she sat back on the sofa directly after being pulled by him like this, and he knelt next to her on one knee, Clutching her wrist tightly, staring at her with wide red eyes, he said in an accusing tone: "How could you do this?"

Vanessa was stunned, and he approached her, struggling to repeat: "How can you do this?" He seemed to have exhausted all his strength to finish the sentence, "How can you let him kiss you? Again and again?" His voice was almost hoarse, with a suspicious tremor, "Vanessa, how could you do this to me?"

Vanessa sat there numbly. Now that she saw it, she had nothing to hide.

She was silent for a while before responding to him.

Compared with his restrained appearance, she looked much calmer, but her face was bloodless.

"What did you do to me?" She spit out flatly, "You are married, Lucius, you married someone else, not me." She said to him almost cruelly, "Then, who kissed me , you don’t care what you do to me.”

The author has something to say: Lucius: I am speechless
