Series: Dear Diary Pt 2
A/N: This was written for the tth100. The only linking thing for these is Faith in them.
Summary: Faith finds out more about the diary.
"How was I supposed to remember to be careful handling cursed objects?" Faith yelled
"What do you expect from a Muggle?" Lucius sneered.
"I know what that means- I'm not one. I'm a Slayer. I may not be able to do spells like Willow, but I'm not ignorant. Besides, how was I to know? Dumbledore sent me to get the diary and bring it back."
"So, at least it's somewhere warded? God be praised for small miracles."
"So what happened anyway?" Faith asked, reclining on the couch.
Lucius admired the firelight reflecting off her creamy skin and how her tongue sneaked out to lick the rim of her glass before he explained how Voldemort had found Draco had double-crossed him by not killing Dumbledore and had cursed Lucius into this tome. He could form his reality in the book at will, but much like the book he'd given Ginny, he could only communicate once someone wrote in it.
"Do you know how we can escape?"
"I haven't figured out the key yet, no."
Faith stood up and stalked toward him, a feral grin on her face. "Well, we'd better find some way of passing the time until then, shouldn't we?"
