[HP] just lover

Vanessa spent her Christmas in panic all day long.

Returning to work at St. Mungo's was almost her salvation, freeing her from hanging around the house and thinking about it.

Even during the festival, the Dark Lord still did not intend to make the wizarding world stable for a few days, and the Death Eaters held another gathering, but this time the gathering did not cause large-scale damage as before, and many people survived. Dumbledore's Phoenix The Society confronted the Death Eaters, and many were arrested.

It must have been Lucius' handwriting.

While dealing with Auror's injuries, Vanessa was worried that he would be suspected by the Dark Lord because of this. When she got home from get off work, she still couldn't stop herself from worrying.

She went home directly through the Floo network, went to the kitchen to drink some water, and didn't plan to eat, and planned to take a shower directly.

Just as she was about to go up to the second floor, there was a knock on the door. Vanessa was stunned. There were very few people who knew where she lived. Lucius' style would never knock on the door, so who would it be?

Vanessa walked to the door, hesitated for a few seconds, drew out her wand and opened the door cautiously.

"Don't worry, it's me."

Sirius Black stood in the doorway, his black hair covered half of his eyes, he swept it away irritably, and said to her, "Can I go in? It's cold outside."

Vanessa immediately opened the door to let him in. He was wearing a black robe. Although the robe was baggy, it could be seen that he had lost a lot of weight and was a little taller.

"Why don't you use a warming spell?" She frowned and added to him, the chill on his body could freeze the air into ice.

"Use it, it's expired, I forgot to add it, and I don't think it's anything, it's better to keep it cold, it will keep me awake."

After Sirius finished speaking nonchalantly, he sat on the chair in the living room and asked her, "Is there anything to eat? I'm very hungry."

He was really hungry, he hadn't eaten for two days, and he had a quarrel with his parents again, and Mrs Black would not allow any house-elf to prepare food for him, and he escaped from that house and came here.

Vanessa didn't know about these things, and he didn't intend to tell her. When she heard that he was hungry, she immediately turned around to cook for him. Seeing her busy back in the kitchen, Sirius slightly opened his lips and said in a low voice: "Why don't you see Mrs. Wilson? She should have moved back, it's still early, has she rested yet?" He stood up and walked to the stairs, "I want to go up and say hello to her."

Vanessa's cooking action suddenly stopped, and then quickly returned to normal, without changing her face, she said: "She has gone out and has other things to do, and she won't be back for a few days."

Sirius gave up going upstairs, walked up behind her, looked at her back and said, "I'm not at home for Christmas, but going out? Is it important?"

Vanessa said perfunctorily: "Well, it's a very important thing. And Christmas ended yesterday, didn't it?"

She turned her back to him and couldn't see his expression. If she saw it, she probably wouldn't be able to pretend anymore.

"I see."

Sirius was silent for a while before saying, "You forgot a very important thing, do you still have the memory?"

Vanessa was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something, she cast a spell to let the kitchen utensils operate by herself, turned around nervously and said, "Damn it! I'm so sorry! Just wait here!"

She quickly ran up to the second floor, and then ran down in a hurry, her blond hair kept fluttering with her movements, and her figure became more and more graceful. Sirius watched her quietly, watching her hand the gift in her hand to he.

"I'm really sorry, last month... I encountered something, I was too busy, I can guarantee that I have already prepared this gift, but I forgot to send it to you." Vanessa kept stretching out her hand , I hope Sirius can accept that gift.

The 14-year-old boy lowered his eyes, stared at the gift box in her hand for a long time, then reached out to take it, held it in his hand and said, "Something happened? What made you not even do what you promised?" forgotten?"

Vanessa didn't intend to forget to send Sirius a birthday present on purpose, Roxy's death hit her too hard, she lived like a walking dead during that time, let alone sending gifts, she often forgot to eat.

"I'm sorry," Vanessa began. "It's just a little personal thing. I'm really sorry, Sirius. There won't be a next time."

Sirius stared at her dodging face with gray eyes, and pressed his lips tightly, "Can I open it now to see what it is?"

"Of course." Vanessa relaxed a little.

Sirius unwrapped the present quietly. He was a little surprised when the box was opened.

"...This is a watch, which is different from the pocket watch used by wizards. It is a Muggle thing." Vanessa explained, "I think you probably don't reject Muggle things, because that brooch is also a Muggle product .So I bought you this and I think it suits you, wear it?"

Talking about the gift, the atmosphere eased a lot, Sirius looked up at her and said, "You help me put it on."

It was probably the first time for him to wear a Muggle watch. Vanessa didn't think too much about it. She took out a metal watch with a good texture and put it on his strong wrist.

"You need to adjust the time before you can officially use it. There are instructions in the box, just follow it." Vanessa stared at his wrist, and smiled after a while, "It's really suitable for you. good."

"Yeah." Sirius said, looking at the watch as well, "Your vision is very good, I like it very much."

Vanessa was startled, and looked at his face. She had been avoiding him since seeing him today, and she dared not look into his eyes several times. Now she finally mustered up the courage to look up, and what she saw was his slightly melancholy and guilty looks.

"Sirius..." Vanessa wanted to say something, but he cut her off.

"I heard the news." Sirius said hoarsely, "at the Christmas family gathering. I made a mistake and my mother didn't allow me to go downstairs, but I sneaked down anyway. I heard them talking about... He raised his hand to cover his eyes, put it down after a while, and said palely, "They're talking about the Dark Lord executing a pure-blood traitor, they're making fun of Malfoy, they're mocking him for getting involved with that kind of person Relationship, Malfoy is mad."

It's enough to say that, Sirius is so smart, of course he knows who the pure-blood traitor who was executed, or who can be related to Lucius Malfoy, the moment he heard those words, he thought of everything. Way ran out of the house, he came here, sat on the doorstep waiting for her to get off work, and when he heard a noise in the room, he knocked on the door.

"Sorry, Vanessa."

Sirius clenched his hands into fists, and his voice was low and depressed: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on seeing Mrs. Wilson, and I hadn't said those things to her, maybe she wouldn't...wouldn't have left Malfoy's house, so Not to be found. I've been there, Malfoy has kept that house well guarded, if it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for me…"

Vanessa immediately interrupted him: "This has nothing to do with you, Sirius." She stepped forward, put her hand on his shoulder, and tried to comfort him as gently as possible, "I promised you to go, and I also took the piece Let me tell you, you meant it well, and the result has nothing to do with you, you don't want that." Her green eyes were fixed, "All this is the Dark Lord's fault."

Sirius looked at her in trouble, apparently not feeling that he was innocent. He wanted to say something else, but Vanessa said directly: "If you blame yourself like this again, then I might not be able to live. This matter It has nothing to do with you at all, and you still blame yourself like this, so what am I?" She pointed to herself and said, "As a daughter, as the instigator of this incident, how should I deal with myself?"

Sirius was startled, and immediately said, "Nisa, I didn't mean that."

Vanessa said slowly: "Of course I know. I was just worried that you would do this, so I kept it from you. I didn't expect you to know so soon. If possible, I would rather you never know for the rest of your life."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and looked in the direction of the kitchen, and said in a low voice, "I'm going to get dinner, wait for me in the dining room."

After she finished speaking, she left. Sirius looked at her back. He was already ready to face her reprimand, but when he got here and saw her, he realized that there was nothing.

Even, he had to let her comfort him.

That does not work.

Vanessa is the saddest person, he can't burden her any more.

So when Vanessa walked to the dining room with the plate, she found that Sirius had already sat down, and his expression was much better than before.

Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief, put down the plate and said, "There's dessert, it will be ready in a while, you can eat it first, don't wait for me."

Sirius nodded and watched her leave.

In fact, she moved very quickly, probably because he seemed to be hungry for a long time, and cooked a table of meals at the fastest speed.

In fact, the dinner prepared by Vanessa is not so exquisite, and it is not as good as the house elves who are good at making these.

But every bite of these meals is extremely satisfying.

Sirius stared at Vanessa who was eating with him, and suddenly wished that time would stop at this moment and not move forward.

There is no need to think about the future or identity, they just sit face to face like this all the time, forever.

But he knew it was unrealistic.

With the matter of Mrs. Wilson in the front, Sirius realized that he thought many things too simply, he was too young, and what he did was full of loopholes. Although Vanessa didn't mind, he still indirectly killed Wilson for himself The matter of the wife is brooding.

Now, the Dark Lord is in the limelight, and everything about Vanessa is full of danger. He will undoubtedly cause more trouble for her by approaching her in the name of the heir of the Black family.

After dinner, Sirius cautiously prepared to leave. In fact, he also wanted to stay, but he knew that this was not the time, and he had to wait patiently. When the right time came, either the Dark Lord would fall, or he would really leave The family, otherwise... If the group of people in the family find out, it will definitely ruin this place and Vanessa's current peaceful life.

Standing at the door, Sirius had mixed emotions on his handsome and thin face, "I'm leaving." He whispered, his tone very light.

Vanessa was silent for a while, and asked him, "How do you plan to go back? This place should not be close to your home."

Sirius was embarrassed, and coughed lightly: "I can fly back, I brought a broom." He took out the broomstick with the shrinking spell from his trouser pocket, and Vanessa couldn't help being speechless.

"Then how long do you have to fly?"

"...about an hour, soon." He said angrily, "I'm not yet an adult, so I can't use magic outside of school, so I can only do so."

Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to him: "Come."

Sirius froze, looking at her in surprise, she blinked her green eyes, looked at him intently, and didn't intend to withdraw her hand.

It took a long time before Sirius raised his hand and placed it on hers.

His hands are bigger than hers, and he can easily wrap her around hers. Sirius just thought about it in his head, and didn't expect that he would do it, but when he looked at it again, he found that he had unconsciously Done.

He looked nervously at Vanessa's face. She frowned, as if she didn't want to, but she still didn't refuse.

"Where do you live?" she said. "I'll take you home."

Vanessa is an adult wizard, and after knowing the location, all she needs is an apparition.

Sirius was silent for a while and said, "You can just take me to the Leaky Cauldron, my house...it's not safe there."

Grimmauld Place NO.12 is not a good place to go, even Sirius has a heavy heart every time he goes home, let alone Vanessa.It's okay for her to appear there by herself, if she is with him...if someone sees it, it will be a disaster.

"Okay." Vanessa didn't say much, and quickly led him to Apparate to the Leaky Cauldron. After the two stood still, Sirius still held her hand tightly.

"Can the fireplace here lead to your house?" Vanessa asked, glancing at the bar's sign.

When mentioning his home, his tone was extremely ironic: "Oh, of course not, how could they open the fireplace to such a place. I mean... I can rest here for one night, and then tomorrow, go find James them."

Vanessa knew James Potter, his good friend, but she was a little worried: "Can you not go home?"

Sirius said lightly: "That's nothing. They wish I didn't go back." As long as it's not with Vanessa, it doesn't matter. Her bloodline and identity are very sensitive. He doesn't mind everything about her at all, but he is worried that he will give her another Bring bad luck.

But James was different, no matter how much the two elders in the family hated his relationship with James and Gryffindor, at least the Black family and the Potter family were married, and they would not hurt him.

"You go." Sirius said in the cold night wind in London, "I'm not a child anymore, let alone your child, you don't want to be a parent all the time."

Vanessa was a little embarrassed, she lowered her head and said, "Then let go of my hand."

Sirius immediately let go of her hand as if electrocuted, looked left and right, but didn't dare to look at her.

"Then I'm leaving." Vanessa put her hand in her pocket and said softly.

Sirius cleared his throat and said, "Okay, okay, let's go. By the way, I must say, I like the birthday present very much. I hope you can send it on time next year."

Vanessa smiled and said "Yes", Sirius felt warm in his heart, and finally tried to turn his head to look at her, but found that she had already left.

she left.

There is nothing but air in front of you.

Sirius stood where he was, breathing out white gas, feeling a little lost.

Out of the Leaky Cauldron was a young man in a black robe. His greasy black hair and sallow complexion made him instantly recognizable.Sirius frowned, it was unlucky to meet a snotlite here.

Snape raised his eyes, looked at him mockingly, and said meaningfully: "Look at what I saw, the heir of the Black family, with a - half-blood witch, still looking longingly at the place she left."

He was already here.

Sirius immediately stepped forward, pointed at him with his wand, and said in a cold voice, "Snotlite, watch your mouth, otherwise I don't mind using it to forget everything about you."

Snape said disdainfully: "Put away your wand, Black, do you think this is Hogwarts? You can use magic as you please?"

Black said coldly: "If you don't know what to do, then I don't mind breaking the school rules. It's not the first time anyway, is it?" He smiled nonchalantly.

Severus Snape raised his eyes slightly, looking down at him somewhat condescendingly.

"Is that how you beg, Blake?"

Sirius is so sick of it!

Of course he knew what Snape's appearance meant. He was a Death Eater. He had heard from James that Evans had witnessed him going to the Dark Lord's party. devil...

Sirius took a breath, and just as he was about to use Forget Nothing on Snape desperately, another person appeared here.

Lucius came out of the Leaky Cauldron, frowned and looked at the young men, "Are you planning to fight?"

Snape turned his head and saw him say unhurriedly, "Lucius."

Sirius looked at him in surprise, when did they get so familiar?Should it be said that they are members of the same organization?It's really... like a raccoon dog.

Sirius looked at them disdainfully, as if they were two filthy bugs.

Lucius didn't care about his gaze, and maintained his aristocratic politeness: "Mr. Black really hasn't grown up, and he is obsessed with children's tricks like running away from home. It's getting late, you'd better go home quickly Well, when I left No. 12, Grimmauld Place, Mrs. Black was in a fit of anger."

Thinking of his mother's anger, Sirius frowned, but still refused to be outdone and said, "This is none of your business, Malfoy."

Lucius took one last look at him, not intending to waste time here with his rival, and said directly to Snape: "You can go back, as for what you saw just now, Severus, there is no need to take it to heart. "

Snape glanced back at Lucius, remained sullen for a while, then turned and left.

Although he didn't respond, he didn't refuse, which is equivalent to agreeing to a person like him.

And since he agreed, there was no need to doubt whether he would do it, Lucius still had some understanding of Snape.

"Goodbye then."

Taking one last look at Sirius, Lucius apparated in front of him, the way a grown man used magic recklessly, Sirius really... hated it!so terrible!This Christmas holiday has been abysmal!

The hated Christmas is over soon.

Welcoming the new year, Vanessa's job has also changed.

When entering February, she became a regular.

The conversion is a good thing, which means that she can wear the badge of an official therapist, and can also contact seriously injured patients, and...

rise salary.

Vanessa went to Gringotts to check her savings. Compared with the girl who was overjoyed when she got a few Galleons in school, she is now considered richer.

She is alone now, and the saved money and monthly salary can allow her to live a very nourishing life.

But she is used to being frugal, and she is not used to having money all of a sudden.

Walking out of Gringotts, she saw a familiar figure in Diagon Alley.

It's Lucius.

They haven't seen each other for a long time.

almost three months.

As Valentine's Day approached, Diagon Alley became bustling with wizards, male and female, coming to buy Valentine's Day gifts. Madam Mojin's robe shop was the most popular, and there were many people lined up at the door.

Lucius was right behind the group of people. He was tall and slender, with long platinum-blond hair hanging neatly behind his shoulders, and he was bending over to talk to someone while holding a cane.

He was so conspicuous that Vanessa couldn't pretend not to see him. There were many witches on the streets of Diagon Alley sneaking at him.

but……

Vanessa squinted her eyes, it seemed that it was Lestrange who was talking to Lucius.

Lestrange... really has a narrow road to enemies.

Vanessa turned around and walked away, only to find herself at the entrance of Knockturn Alley after walking a long way.

Roxy died in it.

Vanessa stopped in her tracks, looking sharply at the gloomy street scene in front of her, which was completely different from Diagon Alley. Before she could think of any action, someone grabbed her arm.

"What are you doing here?"

Lucius' voice rang in her ears, Vanessa turned her head and saw his handsome, mature face that contained anger.

"I just went wrong." Vanessa explained.

"Going the wrong way?" Lucius couldn't help but laugh, "How old are you, Vanessa? You will go the wrong way, from Diagon Alley to Knockturn Alley?"

How was Vanessa going to tell him that she was just trying to avoid Lestrange?

She broke away from his arm holding her anxiously, and said to him: "I went to Gringotts and came out and saw you talking to Lestrange. I didn't want to meet him, so I walked in the opposite direction." , came here unknowingly."

This statement made Lucius silent for a while, and he took her again, this time not an arm, but a hand.

He took her away from the entrance of Knockturn Alley, and walked into Lihen Bookstore.

It's not the school season, and there aren't many people in the bookstore. He dragged her to hide behind a row of bookshelves, and said in a flat voice, "I'm so surprised that you didn't panic because you were hiding from me."

Vanessa looked down at the hands they shook: "I won't hide from you."

Lucius felt his heart beating violently, he slowly let go of her hand, turned his head and said, "Really."

"Yes." Vanessa answered quickly, raised her head and said, "What have you been up to recently? Are you... going well?"

Of course he knew what she was asking.

He sent news to Dumbledore for the first time at Christmas, and the effect was good. The scapegoat he found in advance did not disappoint him, and he successfully diverted the anger of the Dark Lord.

After tidying up the somewhat messy wizard robes that he walked in a hurry, Lucius said without emotion: "I'm still standing in front of you, this is already an answer."

...he was right.

Vanessa has been worrying from Christmas until Valentine's Day is approaching, and finally seeing him, seeing that he is unscathed and as handsome as ever, she should really feel relieved, and there is no need to ask again.

But she asked anyway.

Stupid or not?

"I'm going away for a while."

Lucius said suddenly, "During this time, you..." He pursed his lips, and said after a while, "Take care of yourself."

In fact, he wanted to say take care of himself, but when the words reached his lips, he turned into a cold and commanding "take care of yourself".

Vanessa seemed unaware of his indifference, and asked him, "Where are you going?"

Lucius looked at her with complicated emotions, and said after a long time, "Albania, I'm going to prove something, and I happen to have a legitimate reason."

"……"Albania?Vanessa didn't know much about the location, but it sounded like it was far away and possibly dangerous.

She endured it for a long time, but still couldn't help it, and asked him again: "How long are you going?"

Lucius really didn't know how to answer her this time.

He knew that she might still feel guilty about using him, but he really didn't want her to face him with this mentality.

When Lucius spoke again, he said to Vanessa, "Let's get straight to the point, Vanessa." He met her defiantly stunned gaze and said, "You think you're using me, and I mean, maybe that's okay. Wrong, I made that choice, largely because of you, but not entirely because of you." He pointed his cane at his chest, "I'm a Malfoy, and I will never forget my family Benefits. You remember, this thing can also bring me more benefits than following the Dark Lord, waiting for him to self-destruct, paying some money to settle the trial, and then wearing the hat of Death Eater forever. Obviously, it is more beneficial to take a little risk to get more honors. Although the risk is a bit high, I think I can do it, so I choose this way. You can feel less guilty, and you don’t need to..." He sipped Pursing her lips, she almost gritted her teeth and said, "You don't need to be willing to be my mistress just because of this. I don't want to take advantage of others, maybe I have thought about it, but I'm probably not as despicable as I thought."

When Lucius said these things, he still did not forget to silently cast the Ignore Curse and the Secrecy Curse around him. If it was not 100% safe, he would not allow himself to reveal the secret. He was still trusted by the Dark Lord and sent to Albania if he persisted until now. It fully demonstrates his prudence and excellent ability.

Lucius doesn't really have much to say to Vanessa.

After saying these words, he disapparated and left here.

Vanessa stood in front of the empty bookshelf, raised her hand to touch her throbbing forehead, and also Apparated back home.

night.

Vanessa was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to control the restless heart.

But her recent self-control seems a little too weak.

When she found herself using the Portkey to Lucius' study, she felt nothing special.

Just come.

She looked at the introverted and solemn study, walked to the sofa and sat down, waiting quietly.

It was late at night when Lucius came back.

He originally wanted to take a shower and rest, but he thought that there were still unread letters, so he went to the study exhausted.

As soon as he entered the door, he realized that someone was here, and he immediately looked in Vanessa's direction. When he saw her, the wand he was already holding almost fell to the ground.

"Why are you here."

He frowned and slammed the study door shut.

Vanessa stood up, looked at him and said, "I want to know how long you're going." She walked up to him step by step, looked up at him, stared into his charming gray-blue eyes and said, "Go to Albania How long will it take?" She took out a potion bag from her pocket, and there were bottles of potions neatly placed in it, "This is for you, I made it all. I checked a lot of information, but there are not many descriptions about Albania , but there seems to be a primeval forest there, probably... it won’t be too safe, so I think you should take these antidotes with you, maybe you will use them.”

Lucius looked at the potion she prepared by herself, and resisted, "You don't need to be so nice to me because of guilt." When he said those few words at the end, his expression was very bad.

Vanessa forcibly handed him the medicine bag: "It's not because of guilt."

Lucius was taken aback.

Vanessa looked up at him: "Although I feel guilty about you, these things have nothing to do with guilt. Can you tell me how long you'll be away?"

Lucius pursed his thin lips, stared at her and said, "I'm not sure. Maybe two or three months, maybe half a year. When I'm not around, if you encounter anything, go to Dumbledore."

Vanessa nodded, waved her wand to look at the time, and said softly, "It's very late."

Yes, it is indeed very late, it is past three o'clock at night.

Lucius stood there without speaking, with a vacillating expression. Vanessa looked at his handsome face, and she knew that she shouldn't lose her way, lose her emotions, and shouldn't be so unconscious at this moment.

But in a place like Albania, who knows what to expect?Who knows if this is the test of the Dark Lord?

Lucius did not disclose the danger of this operation, and understated it as if the place he was going to was Diagon Alley. Vanessa could not agree with his attitude at all, and did not want to expose the crises he concealed.

Of course, she didn't want to leave any regrets.

There seemed to be only one thing she could do.

"Lucius."

She called his name, and Lucius just turned his eyes away because of thinking, and when he heard her call him, he immediately looked over, and was about to ask her what's the matter, so she tiptoed and kissed his lips.

Lucius leaned directly against the door, and Vanessa wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss.
