Chapter 9... Scarlet Smoke.
(what's the use if it can't hide you from him?)
Narcissa wishes to see the Hogwarts Express leave this year, so there they are, on September 1st, standing awkwardly on Platform 9 3/4.
She stares at the scarlet smoke billowing from the train's head, remembering that beautiful day seven years ago.
Lucius breaks the trance with a soft kiss – they hear whistles and cat calls from the starting train.
(She pulls away soon after the shock wears off.)
He has such a wide smirk on his lips, it's almost revolting – and it makes her want to slap him 'round the face.
(She can't do that, but she can sleep in another bedroom tonight.)
Review, please -is desperate-
