Prologue

Lucius stared at the letter lying on his desk, his mind trying to absorb what it was he had just read. Letting his usual mask slip for a moment, he placed his head in his hands. Why did that affair have to come back and haunt him? Hadn't he been punished enough when she had died? Why hadn't she trusted him with this information before sixteen years had passed?

His lawyer had dropped the letter off that morning, saying that it was left behind in her will. That if she died, he was to know so that he could go and take care of his son.

Lucius stood up, determined to tell his wife what he had been told in the letter, and hoped that she was willing to help.

'Of course she'll help. She has that maternal streak in her.' Lucius told himself as he walked down the corridor toward his wife's rooms. As he walked, he remembered the other woman he had loved, and almost stopped as a wave of the pain he had bee suppressing for so long caught up with him. Determination lit up his eyes as he knocked on the door in front of him.

"Narcissa? I need to talk to you." he called.

"Then come in." she called back, amusement in her tone.

Lucius stepped into the room, ignoring the gaze of his son whom he was sure was watching him.
