[HP] just lover

This is the first time that Lucius has shown his feelings in front of Vanessa so directly, intuitively, and straightforwardly.

He used to be reserved and restrained, with the reserve and pride that belonged to Patriarch Malfoy.

He is more often stimulated to have to be angry and angry, and then Vanessa realizes that he is loved.

But it's different now.

He calmly showed his Patronus, even looking at it with a smile in his eyes.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Lucius said calmly. "It used to be a silver snake, but now it's one. Remember when I asked you to summon the Patronus to show me?"

Vanessa asked him, "Did it change at that time?"

Lucius leaned on the bed, his breath was filled with her scent, this familiar scent calmed his ups and downs a lot, and all worries gradually stabilized.

"Maybe earlier." He pursed his thin lips lightly, "I don't want to admit it myself, but I think it should have become like this a long time ago." He lowered his eyes, staring at his hand on the quilt, on the hand The wound on his body has healed, and there is no bloody blood from before.

Vanessa is a very good therapist, she is excellent, he always knew that.

Vanessa didn't know what to say. She slowly stood up from the bed and asked him, "What do you want to eat? You can only use potions to maintain your spirit and physical strength during the coma. Now that you are awake, eat something." something."

Lucius' answer was the same as always: "It's okay, as long as you do it."

Vanessa stood there silent for a long time, and finally said: "You..." She closed her eyes and said bravely, "Have you ever thought about being with me?"

Lucius looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to say this at all.

Now that she said it, she didn't hesitate anymore, and said directly: "I can protect myself, you don't have to keep treating me like a porcelain doll. Now I just need a word from you, Lucius—are you willing to end your marriage? Stay with me. This kind of shameless question that violates morality, I only ask you once in my life."

There are many things about Vanessa that are contradictory.

Her feelings especially.

She didn't want to stand up and down again. When she said these words at this moment, she admitted that she was a female cousin.

She looked very ugly, but she didn't flinch.

Lucius never dreamed that one day Vanessa would ask him that.

He almost blurted out: "Of course I'd like to—"

But the words came to an abrupt end here, as if he suddenly realized something, he frowned and turned his head away.

When Vanessa heard his words, she was very happy, but seeing his subsequent expression, her heart was half cold again.

"But not now, is it?" Vanessa said softly.

Lucius didn't dare to look her in the eyes, so he just looked away and said: "...The Dark Lord is still powerful, sitting firmly on the highest position, you know... I can't get away at this time."

Vanessa nodded and said, "I can understand that." She pursed her lips, "I can wait for you, but I want you to promise me two things."

Lucius looked at her without saying a word, Vanessa thought, since she has become a female cousin, let's do it to the end.

So she said to him: "Since you are willing to be with me, then don't have sex with your current wife. Not to mention..." She slowly clenched her fists and said decisively, "Not to mention having children."

Once a child is born, even if there is no affection between the husband and wife, they cannot be separated cleanly.They always have to take care of the child's mood, the child is still so young, even if Lucius and Narcissa are willing to separate at that time, Vanessa does not want them to be separated when the child is young and needs their parents the most.

She has lived in an environment where her parents divorced since she was a child, and she knows best how painful it is.Although her father was fundamentally different from Lucius, the situation would not be much better than she expected.

Regarding the growth of the child, Vanessa will not feel how important she is. Besides, let alone whether she has the perseverance to wait until the child grows up, even if the child grows up and has a good personality, I am afraid that she will not fully accept Vanessa. Sarah.

Vanessa is a half-breed, and Lucius may not mind the stigma brought to the Malfoy family, but his heir may not.

That child would inherit everything in the Malfoy family in the future, would he allow her presence to tarnish the family?

Even when his father divorced his biological mother because of her.

Also, if Vanessa and Lucius had their own children in the future, it would be extremely unfair to their children, or to the children he and Narcissa had.

She is worried that the child will be treated emotionally and hurt, and she is also afraid that her child will not be happy and complete.She worried too much, and the biggest setback was already all of her performance.

She stared at Lucius intently. Lucius' face was already so pale that it was almost transparent now.

"Vanessa." Lucius closed his eyes and said, "I can't live without a pure-blood heir."

Vanessa's heart skipped a beat. Although she had expected it, she was still a little sad to hear him say it.

"I can't let the Malfoy family be destroyed in my hands." Lucius leaned against the head of the bed, his face condensed and full of entanglements, but his words were firm, which came from the heir education that was almost integrated into his flesh and blood.

He could feel the air getting colder with each word he uttered, and by the time he finished his last sentence, Vanessa had shifted from hurt to calm.

He gave the best guarantee he could——

"I can assure you that after giving birth to an heir, I will never touch her again. I will break up with her as soon as the Dark Lord falls, and then..."

"And let me be your child's stepmother?" Vanessa herself didn't realize that she would be so calm when she said this, and she asked him immediately, "Then have you ever thought about what that child will think then? He or she is still so young, and he has to bear the pain caused by his parents' divorce, even if you can accept it, I can't accept it. And, have you ever considered whether we should have a child of our own? "

Lucius raised his eyes slightly to look at her, and remained silent. Vanessa was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "...It seems that you have thought about it, even if you have a pure-blood heir, you don't want to have a half-blood child." born."

"It's not that simple." Lucius wanted to explain that he didn't mean that, he just felt that the birth of their child required too much burden, even surpassing Vanessa.

The kid would be pointed out to be what others called the "dirty, once-in-a-century, Malfoy half-blood"—perhaps with a conflict of interest with a half-brother or sister.

It would be even worse if they were still studying at Hogwarts together. Even if Lucius was sure that his heir would not hurt this half-breed brother or sister, what about other people's colored eyes?At that time, not only their children, but even his heirs will have difficulty gaining a foothold in Slytherin, which is very unfair to the two children.

Of course he will protect his children as much as possible, but he can't follow the children to school, there will always be omissions, and he has to think too much.

Lucius also desperately hopes to have a child with Vanessa, but no matter how they think about it, they can't do that. Even if it wasn't for the ups and downs of the children's life, Vanessa would be conflicted and hard as a mother. , he had no doubts about it.

Such a future will not be happy.

"Okay." Vanessa interrupted him directly. Some of the words were just impulsive. After returning to her senses, Lucius didn't need to say a lot of things, and she could think clearly by herself.

Who wants young children to suffer?It doesn't matter if the child is yours or not.

Which woman is really willing to not have children of her own for the rest of her life?

Of course, it is not ruled out that some women do not like children from birth and do not want children, but Vanessa is not that kind of woman.

The problems between them have become too big to be resolved.

She calmed down for a while, and then said with red eyes: "You should rest, sleep well, I will come to see you later."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left without any regrets. Before closing the door, she became the same as before.

"Forget about the conversation just now, Mr. Malfoy, and act like nothing happened."

After she finished speaking, she closed the door, cutting off all possibility of communication.

Lucius seemed to be choked by someone, leaning against the head of the bed almost suffocated, staring blankly at the ceiling.

After a long time, the corners of his mouth curled up, trying his best to show a bitter but powerless smile.

time flies.

Vanessa went to work in St. Mungo's on time every day, and she didn't show any abnormalities. No one would have thought that her house was hiding the head of the Malfoy family and the second in command among the Death Eaters.

Before going to work, she would prepare breakfast and lunch, and when the time came Lucius could eat them with a heat spell.

After work at night, she would treat his injuries, brew potions, and cook dinner for him. She was extremely considerate.

But they never had redundant dialogue.

Vanessa seemed to have nothing to say to him, but she didn't particularly resist his approach. When he accidentally touched her, she didn't quickly move away, as if avoiding the plague god.

This made Lucius uncomfortable and desperate.

This means that she is not ready to have any feelings for him from the bottom of her heart.

A few nights later, Vanessa came home and saw the letter left by Lucius on the table.

he's gone.

No one can refuse the Dark Lord's call, even if his injuries are not fully healed.

Vanessa burned the parchment directly, looked at the ashes on the ground, and used it to clean it up.

At the same time, she was cleaned up, as well as the immoral feelings hidden in her heart that made her a female cousin.

Riddle House.

The Dark Lord looked at the core members of the Death Eaters standing in front of him, and he looked much calmer than when he was in Albania.

When he scanned the crowd with his eyes, he paused on Lucius, and said slowly: "Lucius, your complexion is not very good, is your injury still not healed?"

Lucius lowered his eyes humbly and said, "Yes, my lord, I'm sorry that I can't face you in the best condition, because I can't go directly to St. Mungo's for treatment, so the speed is a bit slower."

Voldemort said meaningfully: "Oh, of course I don't blame you for this, Lucius. I just wonder why you were attacked by dementors? Why didn't you use the Patronus Charm? I feel sorry for your injuries. It almost made me feel guilty."

Lucius expected that he would ask, and immediately said: "The dementors were summoned by His Highness the Duke of Darkness, how can I resist your arrangement. Even if I get hurt, I can't expel them, they must stay there, If they are all driven away, it may disrupt your plans."

Voldemort looked at him, stared at him for a long time, then sighed appreciatively, and looked at the others: "Why can't you learn from Lucius' prudence and loyalty? If you are all like him, this plan will not fail It's gone." His expression suddenly became ghastly, "You don't even know how much important you have caused me to lose..." He spoke hoarsely, and Nagini slowly swam out. Everyone the snake attacked backed away tremblingly, except Lucius.

Voldemort glanced at Lucius again, and said to the others, "You can leave, Lucius stays."

The others were eager to leave, and left as soon as they heard the permission, not daring to stay longer.

Lucius stood there motionless, his chin raised slightly and his eyes lowered, neither humble nor overbearing.

Voldemort stood up from his chair, took Nagini to him, stared at him for a while, and suddenly said: "Lucius, why haven't you given birth to an heir yet? Your age has come, Abu Your mother conceived you when you were your age."

...heir.

This was something Lucius and Vanessa had only discussed a few days ago.

Lucius almost thought that there was something wrong with his Occlumency, and was discovered by the Dark Lord. There was a trace of astonishment in his gray-blue eyes, but soon he felt that this was impossible, and immediately said: "The Duke of Darkness Your Highness, of course I hope to serve you more attentively and unscrupulously, so I will not consider giving birth to an heir for the time being. You are in urgent need of employing people, if I give birth to an heir at this time, it is equivalent to leaving a weakness for the enemy, how can I Will allow myself to do so."

Voldemort smiled and said, "No, no, no, Lucius, you have to put this on the agenda." He said softly, "Because I think that even if you are alone, your ability to do things is getting better and better. Oops."

Lucius immediately became vigilant: "My lord, I'm sorry, I informed you of the Albania matter as soon as I received the news, but it was still too late..."

Speaking of that incident, Voldemort's red eyes became bloody and hard: "I never knew when the Death Eater family became so scattered. I lost too many people, Lucius. They betrayed Me, when I thought they were 100 percent loyal, there was even Parkinson in it."

What is he implying?

Lucius fell silent, and he frowned slightly, not sure if the Dark Lord was mocking him, had doubts, or was unintentional.

He could never have been unintentional.

Lucius didn't dare to let himself think too brightly.

After going through several accidents, the Dark Lord probably doesn't believe anyone anymore, he only believes in himself at the moment.

"I think the children of Hogwarts may be more loyal than mature adults." Voldemort played with the yew wand with one hand, and stroked Nagini's head with the other, pointing out, "They I don't have so much scruples and greed, and if I want them to work for me effectively, all I need is a reward from the Dark Mark. Don't you think so, Lucius?" He looked up at the cold Lucius Si, "I've come to appreciate young people. When you were in school, your ability to do things was much better than it is now."

Lucius: "My lord..."

"Arrange the next meeting." Voldemort interrupted him directly. "The young people of Hogwarts are about to become one of us before they reach adulthood. And you, I look forward to your child being born soon, Lucius , then you should be more focused on serving me, right?"

Now Lucius Malfoy is with the Dark Lord, and has no burden other than family interests.

This benefit also fluctuated, which made Voldemort very disturbed after experiencing several consecutive changes and betrayals.

He doesn't trust anyone now, he can't tolerate Lucius standing by his side without any weakness, he needs the wealth of the Malfoy family as a fund for political struggle, and support for pure blood, he can't really completely destroy Malfoy The family can't just kill him and occupy it. Although that is more in line with his style of behavior, Malfoy is not an ordinary pure-blood nobleman. Once such an ancient pure-blood family is handled by him like this, other subordinates who are similar to Lucius Will therefore have doubts about whether to continue to follow him.

The first to be shaken is the Black family.

They would try not to cling to him for fear of ending up with the Malfoys.

He would never allow such a thing to happen.

So he needs another handle on Lucius in his hand to increase his bargaining chips in controlling him.

A young child, the future heir to the Malfoy family, couldn't be better.

It is very simple to hold a child's life in his hands, and the punishment is safer and more concealed. Voldemort does not think that anyone can go beyond him and use the heir of the Malfoy family to blackmail his loyal subordinates to do something.

It is true that the heir will become Lucius' concerns and weaknesses, but these concerns and weaknesses will only be in his hands, just like when Abraxas gave birth to Lucius back then.He has no doubts about this, because he is Voldemort, he has supreme magical powers, and he has many secret magics that even Dumbledore may not know.

"Don't let me down." Voldemort said one last sentence, and left with Nagini.

Lucius could hear his subtext, telling him that only by doing what he said would the Dark Lord trust him again.

When Lucius left the Riddle Mansion, besides the heir, he also got another mission.

He was asked to go to Hogwarts to make trouble for Dumbledore after school started.

Lucius returned to Malfoy Manor with a heavy heart, and when Narcissa walked towards him with a worried expression, he directly raised his hand and said, "I want to meet a guest, I'll talk about it later." After finishing speaking, he went directly to the study.

Narcissa was silent for a while, then ordered in a low voice: "Yeda, prepare some snacks and tea for Mr.

Yeda immediately responded to prepare, and Dobby hid in the corner watching everything, his eyes full of fear.

When Snape arrived, Lucius had been waiting for a long time.

He took off his wizard robe and wore a long black coat without buttons, revealing the white shirt underneath.

He was not at all the meticulous Malfoy master he usually is, and he even unbuttoned the collar of his shirt.

Snape stood in front of his desk and said, "You look for me."

Lucius looked at him, nodded and said, "Sit down and drink tea."

Snape glanced at the expensive black tea on the coffee table, and said with a condensed expression: "Tell me about you directly, I'm not used to drinking that kind of tea."

Thinking of Snape's parentage, Lucius wisely didn't talk about it anymore, he went straight to the point.

"The Dark Lord asked me to go to Hogwarts to help you take care of the Gryffindor hijackers." Lucius leaned back in his chair and said, "I just found out that they use black magic on Valentine's Day Attacked you, you're in St. Mungo's." He looked him up and down, "Looks like you're all right."

Snape was strangely silent for a while and said, "This is also thanks to Vanessa Green's therapist's meticulous care."

Lucius would have felt his thanks a little more sincerely if he hadn't sounded so sly.

He hadn't seen Vanessa for several days, and he hadn't spoken to her for a long time. Now that he heard her name from someone else, Lucius' expression was even weirder than Snape's.

Snape watched him for a while, and recounted everything that had happened on Valentine's Day.

Lucius was silent, and Snape continued: "Miss Vanessa Green is really pitiful, no man I met put her in the most important position."

Lucius looked at him with a frown, his gray-blue eyes dimmed and said, "You don't understand, Severus."

"Maybe." Snape smiled sarcastically, and changed the subject, "I'll tell the Dark Lord that you don't need to make a special trip to school to take care of them, I haven't graduated yet, and I don't want to be targeted by Dumbledore. "He didn't even want to become a complete devil in front of Lily Evans.

"I see." Lucius was still embarrassed by the last topic, and said palely, "I will go to Hogwarts at the right time to make the most of this. There are students in the school Being attacked by black magic and almost dying, this is a great opportunity for Dumbledore to lose his prestige as the principal, and this should be the true intention of the Dark Duke."

Snape smiled falsely: "I'm glad we've reached an agreement on this matter." He nodded to Lucius and left sullenly.

Lucius stayed in the study alone, raised his hand and pressed his forehead, and Snape's words just now echoed in his ears.

Poor Miss Vanessa Green, met with a man who didn't put her first.

Poor Miss Vanessa Green, met with a man who didn't put her first.

These words kept ringing in his ears, and he felt like his brain was about to explode.

Vanessa is doing better than Lucius at the moment.

It's really ok.

Safe, quiet and peace of mind.

These three words can perfectly describe her recent life.

The accident happened in July.

On July [-]st, her birthday, this time last year, Lucius got married.

Mason's therapist gave her the day off, and Vanessa didn't have to go to work, but she was still up early.

She tidied up the house, greeted the portrait of her mother, and then went to prepare her own breakfast.

After eating simple fried eggs and milk, I picked up the kettle and went to the door to water the flowers.

She lifted the Muggle expulsion spell outside the door, and she thought that no one who knew her address would suddenly appear at her house in the future, so she would no longer have to cut off contact with Muggles, and had the opportunity to chat with her neighbors , so that she will not be so lonely.

She quietly finished watering the flowers, and when she was about to go back to the house, she suddenly saw a big black dog behind her.

Startled, Vanessa took a step back, eyeing the dog warily.

The dog's dark eyes also stared at her intently, as if trying to see a hole in her.

In the wizarding world, the black dog is a symbol of bad luck and death.

Vanessa frowned and tried to move into the house, but the dog rose from a sitting position the instant she took a step.

Vanessa stopped in her tracks and put her hand out in front of her, not taking her wand directly.

Without the Muggle Repelling Charm, you can't just pull out your wand outside, it will arouse suspicion.

"Hey, listen, big dog, don't come here." Vanessa kept a cold face, trying to scare the other party away with her arrogance.

But this dog... was really different. It seemed to understand what she said, but it didn't back up at all, and took a few steps forward.

Vanessa stopped there stiffly. She probably knew that moving objects were more likely to arouse the aggression of this type of dog, so she stood still.

She planned to use magic one second before the big dog did something wrong, but things were beyond her expectations.

The big black fluffy dog ​​came to her side, lay down on the ground, and arched her calf flatteringly.

Vanessa: "..."

If she guessed correctly, it was... a gesture of affection?

Vanessa frowned in confusion.

The author has something to say: happy first breakup! !

(if their relationship can be called a breakup)

Sirius is going to be in fifth grade.

Both Potter and him graduated in 78, and Potter and Lily were married in 79, had children in 80, and died in 81.

In other words, the first downfall of Voldemort is not far away

Moreover, the number of words in this chapter is auspicious! !
