Lucius/Hermione


Don't Blame the Pre-nup

Lucius reached over the breakfast counter and poked his girlfriend's bottom lip playfully, as it was pouting in a sulky fashion. "This is the first day off I've had all week, and you're going to see her?" she challenged him, her brown eyes glittering. Lucius offered her his trademark sloped, charming smile.

"It won't be for long, Hermione," he told her, before leaning across to press a swift kiss on her forehead. Their relationship was a complex one, but part of his pre-nuptial agreements with Narcissa was that he would spend at least one day a week with his son. Now Draco was the same age as Hermione, and had his own child, but this agreement still stood.

"I just hate her so much," she murmured, averting her gaze.

Lucius patted her brown hair gently, and headed towards the door. "I'll be back in an hour, and I'll make it worth your while," he replied, a mischievous glimmer in his steely eyes. He watched as the jealousy slid off her face, being replaced with a flirty, hopeful look.

Throwing her one last wink, Lucius slipped out of the front door. He was already looking forward to returning home to Hermione.
