She stood beside Lucius at the end of the aisle, why had she agreed to this? Daffodil could hardly remember, her features could be shortened in three words: fearful, thin, and light. Fearful was for her eyes, her green eyes though complimenting to her face were full of fear. Thin was her body, that she was proud of though her five children never approved of her marrying Lucius in the first place. She'd placed her hopes in Severus, who had yet to agree. Light was for her skin, a light brown like her younger daughter.
As she looked over to Severus, she'd noticed Lucius' eye flicker over to Severus as well. Severus was glaring, not at her but at Lucius. Daffodil quickly looked away, which caught Lucius' eye and he smirked at the reaction.
"The rings if you would" said the minister.
She slid the ring on Lucius' finger, and noticed Draco twitch slightly as if in pain.
"You do have such soft hands" whispered Lucius placing the ring on her finger.
"Don't try it Malfoy" she whispered back.
"Turn towards each other" said the minister.
They did as commanded, and turned towards each other.
"You make a gorgeous bride Daffodil, very gorgeous" whispered Lucius looking at her from head to toe.
Her eyes merely flicked to Draco who looked very unsure of everything that was going on, espically after what had happened, but she'd rather not get into that.
"He's worried of your safety" Lucius whispered, making her eyes come back to him.
"I am doing this for him" whispered Daffodil.
"Yet you saw Narcissa" whispered Lucius.
Daffodil's eyes quickly looked away from his to one of her friends, who tapped his watch. She turned back to him.
"Thinking of backing out darling" whispered Lucius.
"Join hands" said the minister.
When their hands joined she forced herself to look back at Lucius, she'd have to suffer through the vows. This reminded her too much of there plan, she suggested they prove Lucius had used the Cruciatus Curse on Narcissa. However when they'd done that, the Order members body showed up in there animagus form…dead.
They'd decided to send in someone they knew Lucius would not harm, someone they could trust, someone who Draco trusted. The Order had chosen her for those three reasons, though the first was problematic. She was told to hold out for at least three years, she wasn't sure she could even do that.
When it came to the part at which the minister said 'anyone opposed to these two being wed, speak now…or forever hold your piece'. She noticed Lucius glare at Draco, as if to make sure he said nothing.
"Very well then" said the minister continuing in other words.
Daffodil felt like forcing Lucius to say he'd used the Cruciatus Curse on Narcissa, but would not. She watched as Lucius examined her, the months she'd have alone with Lucius would not be enjoyable.
"I do" said Lucius.
"Daffodil" asked the minister.
"I do" said Daffodil.
The words of the minister seemed blurred, because she could only look at Draco's face. Fear was in his eyes, she wanted to tell him she felt afraid of what would happen also but could not.
Afterwards they all sat inside Malfoy Manor, watching a party unfold. People were happy, and many people were there…more then there were at the wedding, except she could only look to her daughter and Draco. Technically they were now step-brother and sister, but it surely didn't stop them from kissing each other.
"The first couple to an inbred family, that will be interesting" said Lucius, also on the topic of Draco and Ivory.
"I'm not going to force them into separation" said Daffodil.
"Severus might" said Lucius.
"He tried before they got here" said Daffodil.
"How can you tell" asked Lucius.
"Severus was in the same carriage as them, and got out very angrily" said Daffodil.
"Well they've grown up quite a bit, I do hope they don't kiss in every single place in the house" said Lucius.
"Ivory's never washing the dishes" said Daffodil.
Lucius gave a small smirk.
"Hopefully our house-elf will reappear" said Lucius.
"What happened to it" asked Daffodil.
"I'm not sure, I think an owl carried it away" said Lucius.
Daffodil looked at Lucius in disbelief.
"How big was this owl" asked Daffodil.
"Pretty big actually…it put up a good fight" said Lucius.
"The house-elf or the owl" asked Daffodil.
"The owl, house-elf weighed too bloody much" said Lucius.
"Then where's the house-elf" asked Daffodil.
"It was dropped in the forest, I'm not even sure if it survived the fall" said Lucius.
"You let your house-elf be carried away by an owl" said Daffodil.
"It was my first owl, the things dead" said Lucius.
"Can I borrow her" asked Bellatrix.
"I'm amazed Bellatrix, you've learned to ask for things" said Lucius.
Bellatrix pulled Daffodil away, and over near a bust of Abraxas Malfoy.
"Do you have any idea of what your getting yourself into" asked Bellatrix.
"What, Lucius" asked Daffodil.
"Yes Lucius, he hasn't been right since Azkaban…Narcissa went through it, and you saw what happened to her" said Bellatrix.
"You know what happened" asked Daffodil.
"Every Ex-Death Eater knows" said Bellatrix.
"What did happen" asked Daffodil.
"You have to get Cissy out of St. Mungos" said Bellatrix.
"Why" asked Daffodil.
"The word around the Ex-Death Eaters is that someone's going to get rid of her tonight" said Bellatrix.
"Who" asked Daffodil.
"I don't know" said Bellatrix.
"How am I supposed believe you" asked Daffodil.
"You have to…please, tell the Order" said Bellatrix.
"Why won't you" asked Daffodil.
"Because…if I don't keep my mouth shut, I could be next" whispered Bellatrix.
"Bella" said Daffodil.
"What would we be talking about now…ladies" asked Lucius.
"Nothing" said Daffodil.
"Nothing, what" asked Lucius.
"Nothing, dear" said Daffodil.
"And Bella" Lucius said placing his arm around Daffodil's waist, and pulling her closer to him. "We wouldn't want to talk of the past now, would we? Something could" paused Lucius touching Daffodil's hair, causing her to flinch and look into his eyes. "Happen to you" said Lucius looking towards Bellatrix.
"We weren't talking about the past, I swear" said Bellatrix speaking faster then usual.
"Rudulphus was looking for you earlier, perhaps you should go" said Lucius.
Bellatrix quickly hurried away.
"Sorry your conversation was cut short, I had to make sure Bellatrix didn't tell you anything she shouldn't" said Lucius.
"No, she didn't" said Daffodil.
Daffodil examined the crowd, and noticed Bellatrix and Rudulphus had gone.
"Draco, so glad to see you" said Lucius in a not so convincing tone.
"Where's Ivory" asked Daffodil.
"She's talking to Adeline" said Draco.
"Something wrong Draco" asked Lucius.
"Nothing" said Draco looking to Daffodil.
She didn't know when Lucius would arrive inside of the bedroom, but knew it would not be pleasant. She was glad the party was over, she just wanted to rest…to ignore everything going on.
Just when she'd began to sleep underneath the covers, she felt herself be pulled roughly. Daffodil knew it was Lucius, by the sound of him attempting to silence her.
He trails his fingers down my throat. She'd be surprised if he couldn't feel my pulse; my blood pounding under my skin. No, this is ridiculous!
She wrenched her hand up, but he catches it before it reaches him, his fingers biting into her wrist, bruising her skin.
"I don't think so" he says quietly, firmly. He lifts her arm up above her head and he pins it by her wrist to the headboard behind her.
"You will stay still, do you understand me?" asked Lucius.
Saying nothing, she nods. It's not as if she could do anything else, is it? There's no way out for her, unless he chooses to present her with one.
"Good" he mutters.
'Oh, he can see me, but I can't see him' she thought to herself
If she could see him she'd slap him, she found the whole situation unfair to her.
His fingers trail down, down, and further down, leaving a burning trail in their path. Her heart stopped in her chest, His fingers circle and cup her breast, his thumb… oh god.
'He will not treat me like this'
"Let go of me" said Daffodil.
"You dare raise your voice to me…once your in my bedroom I own your body, I own you" whispered Lucius.
"You don't own me, I will never be anything of yours" said Daffodil.
"No?" His fingers leave my breast, trailing down, going over my hip. Her breath catches in her throat and her insides tense, but he just moves his hand further down, coming to rest on her thigh and pushing her nightgown up higher, and higher, until it's up past her knee.
"If you were not mine, I'd have no right to touch you" whispered Lucius.
He grips my waist and pulls my hips up to meet his in one sharp movement. Daffodil gasped, and he breathes a laugh.
"That's right, just a little reaction. It's very rude of you to try and ignore me, as if it were qualified for me to give you this much attention" said Lucius.
Her eyes adjusted slightly to the darkness, and she could now make out his figure and looked him in the eyes.
"Now I will let you go, but if you struggle I will not be merciful, is that in any way unclear" asked Lucius.
"No" said Daffodil.
He let go of her wrist, and Daffodil brought her arm down from the headboard. Lucius hooked his fingers into the neckline of her nightgown, gradually eased it off of her shoulders, inch by inch, pulling her arms out of the neckline until it's gathered around her waist, her breasts completely exposed to him in the unforgiving black air.
"Relax my dear" he whispered into her ear.
In return he holds her yet closer to him, closer than he ever has before. However that wasn't true, he'd held her this close before. When they were much younger, he'd pushed her onto her bed…Severus luckily had come to her rescue, that's when she'd decided to marry him.
Apparently, he knew what she was thinking because he was angry for a second…but then he smirked.
"However my dear, Severus won't be able to save you this time" whispered Lucius.
His lips land on hers, and everything begins to spin, and all she kept remembering was Lucius Malfoy pinning her to the bed, she tried to fight him, to stop him but he continued…each time make the kiss go deeper, deeper…until Daffodil could hardly bare it. His hand moves to her waist, and then up onto her breast. He moves his thumb, and gently moves it over her nipple.
Then he removed the rest of her nightgown leaving her completely naked, she'd never thought she'd be in this position again…with Lucius, she was afraid of what he'd do. I try to move off the bed, and he grabs me and pins me back down.
"Lucius, please" said Daffodil.
"Shhh" shushed Lucius.
He kisses her again, while he pinches at her nipple cruelly. She makes a small noise of protest of this treatment into his mouth, and he groans against her lips as his kiss goes deeper.
She attempts to break away again, and he quickly places her back onto her back. His hands that were once on her breast leave, lower, and lower between her legs. He breaks the kiss between the two of them, and looks down at her as his fingers reach their destination.
"You once claimed something when I'd first put you like this, and just a little while ago as well" said Lucius.
His stone eyes looked into hers, and he brushed a stray hair away from her face…while his other hand remained in position.
"What was it" asked Lucius now smirking, his hand left on her cheek.
She was silent, afraid to answer, afraid to speak…afraid…of him. His fingers began to move, causing her heart to beat faster.
His hand that was on her face moves down, tracing over her thigh. His hands spread her legs apart, pulling her hips up to meet his. She's trapped underneath him, she tries to move, but it's too late, now.
His hand moves back up to her hip, pinning her into place. His fingers bruise the skin on Daffodil's hip, then looking down into her face with a smirk.
"Sadly, you were wrong my dear" said Lucius.
He pushes into her, and tears her apart. Lucius just continues to push into her, further and further. She begins to cry, but he caught her lips in another kiss and she clings close to him. He smirks at her, she's given into him.
She turned in the bed, and he looked at her…he found her so beautiful when she slept. Yes, he'd watched her sleep many times…once when they'd slept over Severus'. Lucius had been surprised Severus had restrained himself well enough to not sleep with her, Severus' arm was wrapped around her. Every once and awhile she'd wake up from a horrible dream, and then Severus would wake and talk to her…then he'd see them kiss, which would infuriate him.
It didn't make sense about how he'd felt about her, how he could like someone who was so much younger then him. Severus was a few years younger then him, and Daffodil was younger then Severus…but how could she be so beautiful still. It made him wonder if she still had the nightmares, he moved some of her hair out of her face.
"Severus" Daffodil mumbled, and turned in her sleep.
He was annoyed, her heart would always belong to Severus…unless he did something about it. She was his now, there was no way she'd be near Severus again. Not while he remained around, he smirked at the thought.
