[HP] just lover

Lucius' office at the Ministry of Magic was better than the real Minister's office.

Maybe it's the power of money?

But of course, it may also be because of ability or personality charm.

Vanessa was sitting in a chair across from her desk, a Slytherin-like office that occasionally gave her the illusion that she was still at Hogwarts.But this is much more luxurious than the professors' offices. Although all the decorations are almost in cool colors, Vanessa unconsciously tightened her coat.

"Aren't you going to answer my question?" Lucius sat across from her, his eyes seemed to fall on her. When he wasn't wearing a wizard robe, he could see his graceful figure even more clearly. His shoulders were very broad. , but the waist is thin, and he is particularly temperamental when he wears a coat or a suit, or it should be said that he is full of aura in whatever clothes he wears, which makes people want to watch from a distance and play.

"I have no plans to get married yet." Vanessa said without changing her expression. "I haven't met anyone suitable yet. If I meet in the future, I might consider it."

... She is completely evasive.

She knew he didn't mean that, she simply misinterpreted it on purpose.

Lucius' already pale and dignified face became even paler after she finished speaking.

The light and shadow of the enchanted ever-burning lamp in the room flickered on his face, making it hard to see his expression clearly.

It took him a long time before he said: "You don't need to see today's client, I have already dealt with the matter in the morning."

Capable men are indeed more attractive to women. Vanessa was attracted by the omnipotent, noble and alienated temperament of Lucius before. At that time, she liked him so much that she almost lost all bottom lines because of him. Now I still have lingering fears in retrospect.

"Then I won't stay here for long." Vanessa stood up and said, "I'll go to the store to have a look, don't bother me."

She was about to Apparate, but with a wave of Lucius' wand, she sat back in her chair.

Feeling that her legs couldn't move, Vanessa's expression became uneasy.

"What do you want to do." She spoke in a cold tone, which made Lucius' heart cold.

"What do I want to do?" He lowered his voice, stood up, put his hands on the desk, stared into her green eyes across the wide tabletop and said, "Are you still going to play dumb? Need me to let Sirius Black Come here and explain what I want to do?"

Vanessa's expression changed and she didn't speak quickly. Lucius also realized that he had lost his composure. He returned to his seat, unbuttoned his neckline, and frowned, "Sorry, I'm a little excited." His expression Tight, "But you keep playing dumb, it makes me feel bad, you know what I mean when I ask you."

Vanessa looked at him and said, "What do you mean?" She raised the corners of her mouth and said with burning eyes, "Is it because you finally lowered your profile and wanted to marry me after more than ten years?"

Lucius was stunned. Although this was indeed his purpose, it was so strange to say it in her way.

"The Boy Who Lived has entered school this year, and there will be another storm in the wizarding world. Marrying a half-breed at this time seems to be really beneficial to the Malfoy family." Vanessa stared at her legs controlled by the Leg Locking Curse, and tried her best Looking for the advantages of marrying her for Lucius, "You have not disclosed your identity as a spy, obviously you have any concerns. But you probably don't like people always calling you a Death Eater and treating the Dark Lord's lackey If you treat you with the same attitude, then it is very appropriate to marry a half-blood now. You can tell them in a disguised form that the Malfoy family is not extreme pure-bloods, and you can accept half-bloods and even marsupial wizards—you ask that The reason for the problem is that I think so?"

She looked at Lucius after she finished speaking, and Lucius had been listening quietly. When she finally finished speaking and gave him a chance to argue, he just smiled at himself and was not in a hurry Explaining for herself, but following her words: "You are right, there are so many benefits for me to marry you, why didn't I think of it?"

Vanessa frowned, feeling as if she was being ridiculed, she erected all her thorns sharply, like a hedgehog, to prevent Lucius from hurting her any more.

"You've thought so much, it's a pity that you haven't come up with an idea." Lucius even wanted to light a Muggle cigarette, which seemed to relieve his anxiety and worry at the moment.

He sat there, leaning on the back of the chair, with his slender hand on the table, it was his right hand.

Vanessa saw the butterfly pattern again.

She turned her head irritably, her face gloomy.

Lucius looked at her and said word by word: "It's actually very simple." He said to her, "You don't have to think so complicated. I asked you that question today, just to be my time before it's too late." Just what I wanted to do.”

Vanessa was slightly taken aback, then frowned and looked at him.

Lucius' tone was very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing something: "Do you still remember what I said to you on the day I married Narcissa?"

Vanessa said blankly, "I don't remember."

"It doesn't matter, I remember." There was a charming but deadly smile on his somewhat sickly pale noble face, "I asked you 'do you know' - you asked me 'know what', I didn't tell you then, Now I can tell you."

Vanessa watched him closely, swung her wand and cast a silence spell, but Lucius dodged it.

He turned slightly sideways, with a charming and dangerous smile, and he stared at her intently, forcing her to listen to him: "I wanted to tell you at that time——I hope that you will marry me that day. It has been you since then, after Ten years later, nothing has changed."

Vanessa's hand holding the wand trembled a little, and her breathing was a little short.

Lucius continued: "I haven't had any other women in these years, and I always have only you in my heart. Even Draco..." He lowered his eyes and lowered his voice, "You never asked, but I Wanted to tell you. Narcissa and I..."

"You have a son, that's enough." Vanessa interrupted her, trying to spell the undoing curse on her legs, but failed.

She looked at Lucius palely, Lucius moved his lips, and finally let her loose.

As soon as her legs were released, Vanessa wanted to leave again, Lucius stood up directly, leaning on the table with one hand, bent slightly and said: "Is it true that even if I kneel down and beg your forgiveness, you won't Think again about the thing I mentioned."

Vanessa turned sideways to him, and said with a blank expression: "Stop making impossible assumptions, Mr. Malfoy, I'm afraid you have never kneeled before anyone except the Dark Lord? You..." Before she finished speaking, He froze in shock.

She stared incredulously at the man who had Apparated in front of her eyes, he was no longer straight, something she needed to look up to.

He knelt down in front of her on one knee, and then the other knee, under Vanessa's disbelieving gaze, bent a little bit.

Until it also sticks to the floor.

Lucius knelt before her.

Kneeling before Vanessa, a half-blood witch.

Vanessa quickly took a few steps back, almost falling over in shock.

Lucius was looking at the ground, not looking at her, but Vanessa couldn't take her eyes off him.

"You're crazy."

After she finished speaking tremblingly, she disapparated in a hurry and left. Lucius knelt for a long time before propping up his body with a cane.

He leaned against the desk, his long platinum hair covered his side face, he stared down at his knees, his gray-blue eyes were dim.

Vanessa's condition is not much better.

Her memory flashed back to Hogwarts.

During the six years of being together day and night, Lucius has always been a god-like existence.

She thought she had forgotten all about his subtle help and cold and distant words, but... no.

She remembered it all.

It's just that those memories were locked in a box before, and now it seems to have got the key, and they are all squeezed out desperately, Vanessa's head is about to explode.

……

"Don't let me see you bullying your classmates, Parkinson, Greengrass."

Vanessa, 14, lay in a corner covered in dust.

The second-hand school uniform she was wearing was already in tatters, and the skin on her neck was ripped off. She lowered her head and grabbed the clothes tightly, her eyes were red but she didn't cry out, and she even tried to stand up.

"If I find out again, then I will have to deduct points for my own college." Lucius, who was already a prefect, stared at the two girls who looked like fighting cocks in disgust, and glanced at the standing girl from the corner of her eye. When it was Vanessa, it softened a little invisibly.

"We're just teaching ignorant bastards a lesson." Parkinson said unconvinced. The two of them didn't feel embarrassed at bullying Vanessa, and they gave Vanessa who stood up a malicious look.

"Bastard?" Lucius frowned and repeated Parkinson's words. He opened and closed his thin lips, uttering disgusting words, "It seems that this is the tutor of the Parkinson family. Such a dirty word like bastard..." He raised his head slightly. He glanced at Vanessa, lowered his voice, and said, "It will only come from someone like you." He looked contemptuously at Greengrass, who was wisely keeping silent, and looked behind the two pure-blood girls. Vanessa raised her wand.

"Come here," he told her.

Vanessa was stunned, and looked at him in surprise. He stood in front of two female students blocking the way, appearing in her world like Merlin.

"Follow me." He tilted his head slightly, his long platinum-blond hair fell behind his shoulders, and the school robe felt completely different on him from others, it seemed to be the most handsome dress in the world, as he walked slowly Swing away, every stroke is chic and elegant, clean and neat.

He took a step, and his slender and straight figure moved forward. He walked in the corridors of Hogwarts at night, as if his whole body was glowing.

Vanessa followed him slowly.

She glanced back at Parkinson, who was full of resentment but did not dare to resist, and Greenglass, who was staring at her meaningfully.

Their gaze made her heart beat faster, and when she turned her head to look at Malfoy's back, her heart beat faster.

When she was about to reach the door of the common room, she finally mustered up the courage to say "thank you", her voice hoarse.

Senior Malfoy's footsteps stopped, he turned his head slowly, she finally saw his handsome, noble and aloof and arrogant face, that face that was always unattainable, seemed to reveal a gentleness that was never shown to others with easygoing.

"You're welcome." His tone was still cold, with habitual nobility. Before opening the door of the common room, he said to her again, "Be careful in the future."

Memories come to an abrupt end.

Vanessa sat on a chair, put her arms on the table, wiped her face, and wiped away the wet marks.

Lucius Malfoy, who was once so unattainable, as if he would never belong to someone like her, what is he doing now?

In order to be with her, he knelt down in front of her.

He bowed his noble head and impregnable knees to her.

He had never lowered his posture like this even when facing Dumbledore.

Vanessa was so distraught, she was absent-minded at work, and almost hurt herself cooking after returning home, so she had to leave everything to Jedda.

Sitting in the restaurant, rich food automatically appeared on the table, but Vanessa had no appetite at all.

When Sirius arrived, she was staring at a table of food in a daze, her blond hair was scattered behind her shoulders, and a dark green skirt wrapped her slim figure. Her collarbone was more obvious than before, although it was very Beautiful, but beauty comes at a price.

She doesn't look as healthy as she used to.

"Nissa?"

Sirius stepped forward and waved his hand in front of her eyes: "What are you thinking? Why don't you eat?"

Vanessa regained her senses, looked at the man in front of her, moved her lips and said, "I'm not hungry."

Sirius was silent for a while, sat across from her, and asked her, "Is it because you miss Senna?"

She frowned, trying to say something, but didn't say it.

Sirius said directly: "You don't have to worry about her, she is doing well, she wrote you a letter, didn't she? I also received her letter, and she was sorted into Slytherin..." He seemed reluctant , but still said, "I thought she would be sorted into Gryffindor, so that she could get along with Harry day and night, and there would be a support between the two, but...well, there is nothing wrong with Slytherin."

Vanessa was amused by his contradictory look, although the smile was still a bit awkward.

"You're still prejudiced against Slytherins, Sirius," she said softly.

Sirius explained: "I have very little prejudice against that college. The one I have prejudice against is the dean of that college."

Vanessa said "Oh" and said, "I know. Professor Snape, he is the dean of Slytherin."

Sirius said angrily: "Yes, that's right, he is the head of Slytherin, that damned snot... Snape. Damn Snape. He treats Harry very poorly. I tried my best to embarrass that child, and kept deducting points for him—Harry was so wronged, the letter paper he sent me was all crumpled, he must have cried. How could you make friends with that kind of person? Still doing business together? Aren't you afraid of him cheating?"

Vanessa laughed and said: "I have not been working with him for a year or two. His level is obvious to all, and everyone can see his integrity."

Sirius leaned back in his chair with a headache. Well, he had to admit that they were all from Slytherin, just like he was from Gryffindor. People draw a clear line, especially... Vanessa doesn't want to cut off contact with her classmates.

"Did you come to see me?" Vanessa changed the subject and said, "As for Harry's question, I will try to mention it to Professor Snape next time I write to him, but I don't guarantee it will work. .”

Sirius was stunned and said, "I didn't come to you for this matter."

Vanessa was puzzled: "What is that for?"

Sirius stared at her, his gray eyes mixed with some contradictions: "It seems that I can't help but mention Harry every time I see you...but that is indeed what I have been paying attention to recently, and I may really have no way not to mention it .But Nissa, I didn't come to you to have something to say to Snape."

"What is that for?" Vanessa asked again patiently.

Sirius was silent for a long time this time, before he said to her: "We have been separated for so many years, I have changed so much, I even... can tolerate Malfoy going to see Cena every day. You see, I am also reasonable—— Even Dumbledore has begun to agree with my changes, can you forgive me." He looked into her eyes, "Come back to me, we will be together again, and continue our once happy life."

In fact, this is quite ironic.

Within a day, the two most important men in her life came up to her and said those words.

They seemed to have discussed it, trying to force her to make a choice.

It seemed that she really had to make a choice.

In a few years, she will be 40 years old.

The child will grow up, get married, start a new family, and then she will be alone... In fact, thinking about it, there is nothing wrong with that kind of life.

"Sirius." Vanessa took a long time to answer him, "Maybe you can guarantee that you will never make the same mistakes you made before, but it has happened, and it took me many years to recover from that pain." Come out of it, I don’t want to experience it a second time.”

Sirius said quickly: "I won't let you experience it again, I will listen to you, and I will take good care of you and Senna."

"Can you really do it?" Vanessa asked him almost with a smile, "If something happens to Harry one day and you need to sacrifice your life for him, will you hesitate?"

Sirius was stunned, and looked at Vanessa in disbelief: "...This assumption is not valid, and there is nothing that can kill Harry now."

"Yes." Vanessa said calmly, "I know about the Horcrux. Although I haven't healed Dumbledore's hand for a long time, I know about that."

Sirius stared at her with gray eyes, a little speechless, before saying after a while: "...you know about that."

"Well, have you forgotten, we found the answer together." She recalled that time, with a real smile on her lips, "At that time, you helped me look through for a long time in the forbidden book area. Do you remember "Black Magic Declassified?"

Sirius had that book in mind when Dumbledore first mentioned the word Horcrux.

He was actually wondering if Vanessa knew this too, but he never actually asked her.

Now that she said it herself, he was not much surprised.

"I haven't asked Dumbledore or Lucius about Horcruxes for a long time, but you should know better than me? Are Voldemort's Horcruxes destroyed? Are they safe? Guaranteed that he will not come back Is it?" She asked Sirius one by one, and she asked him again at the end, "If it comes time for you to sacrifice for Harry, will you refuse for me and Senna?"

He will not say no.

He would not hesitate.

Even if he still has concerns in this world.

Sirius looked at Vanessa with a pale face, and Vanessa said softly: "This is the obstacle between us. Those contradictions in personality can be run-in and covered up with emotions, but such contradictions can never be eliminated." She stood up, walked across the table, patted Sirius on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Live well, Sirius, whether we are together or not, at some point in the future when Harry needs you, although I know Your choice, but I still hope that you will not directly sacrifice yourself as much as possible, and I hope you can try to find some safer ways to solve the problem. Senna can't lose you, she loves you very much."

Sirius lowered his head, his black hair covered his eyes, he is no longer a teenager, after 30 years old, he has the charm of a mature man, he was born handsome, now He is single again, if he doesn't get married, wizards in the wizarding world can't breathe a sigh of relief - who knows when he will take away his wife or girlfriend's heart?

Such a man would never belong to her again.

She has no regrets.

Even relief.

Vanessa brushed the light dust off Sirius' shoulders, and said softly, "You have to try to move forward, Sirius, don't stay where you are alone. I have experienced that pain, although it is You gave it to me, but I don't want you to try it."

Sirius still didn't look up.

He sat there with his head down dejectedly, and after a while, he raised his hands to cover his face.

Vanessa comforted him softly, her tenderness was light and beautiful, like a feather falling on a human heart, so light but full of strength.

"Don't worry, I will always be by your side, but as a friend." Her voice was so familiar yet so strange, "With Senna here, we will never be completely separated. We will become best friends, When you remarry in the future, I will smile and bless you."

When Sirius listened to her words, tears flowed from the sockets that were only warm.

Perhaps, on the eve of Halloween a few years ago, he never returned as promised, which was already the beginning of their complete parting at this moment.

Vanessa didn't just reject Sirius.

She wrote to Lucius the next day.

She rejected the other party for the same reason.

She thought that like Sirius, he would have no power to refute this, so she gave up the idea completely.

Then she can sort out these feelings and start her new life in peace.

But she was wrong.

Wrongly wrong.

When St. Mungo's was at work, Vanessa, who was already the attending therapist, had just treated the wound of a patient injured by a child's magic riot. When she turned around, she saw Lucius standing at the door.

He had never come to meet her so blatantly.

He rarely even set foot in St. Mungo's.

The last time he came, it was to take Bellatrix to the hospital.

The latter died long ago, and the dementors led her to the most extreme end.

Vanessa looked at him who suddenly appeared here without hiding her surprise.

Her heart beat faster, and she kept telling herself in her mind that he came here for another purpose, not to find her.

She turned away and went on to check on the next patient. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the gleaming Mr. Malfoy, even her patient.

"That's Malfoy, isn't it?" The patient was a young girl, in her twenties, who was pretty. She was admitted to the hospital because she had an argument with someone and was injured in the argument.

Vanessa frowned and said, "Please turn around, Miss Scott."

Miss Scott stuck out her tongue and turned to face Vanessa. Vanessa was about to examine her when she heard her speak again: "Why do I feel that Mr. Malfoy is looking at me?...?? He still came over?"

Mason's therapist's voice sounded behind her, forcing Vanessa to face Lucius' approach.

"Vanessa, Mr. Malfoy is here to see you."

This sentence made Miss Scott blush a little. She stared behind Vanessa with a frozen expression. Vanessa slowly straightened up, turned her head to look at the man close at hand, and asked him, "Mr. Malfoy is here to find What can I do?" She tried to explain his arrival to everyone, "If it is to deal with the damage caused by some spell, Healer Mason is free now, he has more experience than me, you can find him."

Lucius glanced at Mason lightly, and Mason shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness. Vanessa thought that Lucius would understand the hint in her words and leave here, but he didn't.

"I'm here to see you." His tone was calm, prudent and clear, "I'm here to talk to you about marriage."

He had already attracted the attention of the entire ward, and now he threw out such a sentence, which was simply a slapstick, which shocked everyone.

"It's crazy." Vanessa pulled Lucius away without a word, without turning her head once, and she couldn't look back—she didn't want to see other people's reactions, seeing the "ah pure-blooded noble Mal in their eyes." Fu actually wants to marry a half-blood", she knew that they would not look down on mumps or half-blood wizards like ordinary pure-blood families, but... being related to the Malfoy family, even wizards who have no concept of blood, would Can't help but have this thought.

The Malfoys are so special.

Vanessa herself has to admit it.

This is also the reason she used to reject Lucius.

I found a random utility room, and Vanessa pulled him in, and said coldly, "Didn't you receive my letter?"

Lucius stood there peacefully and said, "Got it."

"Then you're still here?" She widened her eyes, "Still here?" She emphasized, "This is St. Mungo's, there are everyone here, do you know that what you just said is likely to be spread tomorrow All over the magic world?!"

"It's not just right to spread it, save me trouble." Lucius said calmly.

Vanessa froze, she looked at him incredulously: "What the hell are you trying to do?"

"You said in your letter that you rejected me because the Dark Lord might return." He said the secrets without blinking, and Vanessa cast the Secrecy Charm tremblingly, and Lucius looked at her ashen Wand, approaching her one step forward, she had to lean against the utility shelf, "Do you think I will give up the idea of ​​being with you because I am afraid that he will come back again and let him see that I married a half-breed? "

"You gave up because of this, when I gave you a chance." Vanessa said extremely depressed.

Lucius smiled and nodded, "Yes. I gave up, in my time."

Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief, but said nothing.

"But it's different now, Vanessa." Lucius lowered his head, looked at her dodging face, and said softly, "You guessed right, he will indeed come back again, but don't worry...even if he comes back again It doesn't matter if he comes back and sees his loyal subordinate in the past married a half-blood, and angrily tortures and punishes me because of it."

Vanessa looked at him in disbelief: "It doesn't matter??"

"Yes, it doesn't matter. If he wants to be punished, he can just punish him. The premise is that he has that ability." Lucius smiled mockingly, and then said, "You don't have to worry about the day when he really returns, you and I Marriage will be a drag on Senna. I will arrange everything, I am not Sirius Black, I can keep my promises, you will be safe, just like after Halloween 1981, the Malfoy family has been standing from beginning to end same existence."

Vanessa's brain short-circuited.

His reaction was completely beyond her expectations, and she could no longer give an appropriate response.

"You don't need to think about anything else now." Lucius said firmly and unquestionably, "You didn't use that you don't love me anymore as a reason to reject me, so I think you still love me. Or you fell in love with me all over again."

Vanessa's lips trembled. She clutched the corners of the shelf behind her tightly, trying to say something, but he preempted her.

"Since you have fallen in love with me again, you are only worried that I will abandon you after the return of the Dark Lord, or... drag you down. Then, I am willing to make an unbreakable oath, and promise you that I will honor what I said and protect you and Senna." He stretched out his hand towards her, "I said this once, after so many years, I will say it a second time." He watched her closely, "If I violate my word, I betray you , hurt you, let me die."

It's not the first time he's taken the Unbreakable Vow.

Vanessa clearly remembered the first time he said it.

She turned her head away from his scorching gaze, and as if he would not let her die, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "I will kill Voldemort. Completely, completely. I can't tell you My plan with Dumbledore, I think you probably don't want to know. Please rest assured, I am not an arrogant young man, I know what I say. I love you, always." He took a breath, his tone With some trembling, "Marry me, trust me—I won't let you down in marriage again, and I'll let you have everything you want."

In the dim utility room, the man's hoarse and low-pitched marriage proposal was like a poisoned rose, sexy and dangerous, but... seductive enough.

The author has something to say: I especially want to write the plot of their two-way secret love in school, oh

You like me, and I like you too, but I can't get close to you, and I can't help you blatantly, that might hurt you even more.

So I will take care of you quietly, secretly, and without any trace... Then this, that, and that, one by one, the next chapter must be written!Can't help it!

right!Write the easy part!Then we'll be happy!

ps: There is a bug in the last chapter. I wrote about a five-person family, but it was actually four people. I counted it wrong when my brain got hot, and I counted myself in (Draco is mine!)

It has been changed now!thanks for reminding my babies
