Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. Guessing who hasn't written anything in the past week...? Me so that is my main focus for this week. I really do love writing and it's a shame that I haven't done as much of it as I know I can do. I've also been having a declutter in my room. That's always good isn't it? Anyway I'm hoping to get my Christmas Tree up this month... little early but it seems a lot of people are getting them up as well. I'm currently listening to the Junior Eurovision album and the Christmas album from Maghan Trainor so hopefully that'll help with the writing. Enjoy the update!

Stay safe.

Lots of love,

Love Changes Everything-Part 10:

Narcissa found Lucius and had Draco balanced on her hip. Lucius looked at his wife and wondered how she always looked stunning, even with their son balanced on her hip.

"I wondered when you would come and join me," Lucius said, as he focussed on his wife.

"I had to go and get Draco so Severus could finish getting ready and Draco is always usually with us when we welcome our guests," Narcissa said before her eyes flickered to the guests that were now stood in front of her, "Eira…?" she asked, a hint… or rather obvious… coolness in her voice as she realised that Lucius had gone behind her back and invited her cousin even when she had forbidden it.

Anger began to flow through her veins and Narcissa looked around to see if Severus or Priscilla was close by to take Draco. Thankfully her mother-in-law was close and she asked her to have Draco. The older witch had looked confused until she'd seen Eira and nodded before watching Narcissa excusing herself and Lucius before dragging him away for a quiet chat… although Priscilla sincerely doubted it would be quiet.

Narcissa dragged Lucius all the way to her Secret Garden before she closed the gate. Nobody would be able to hear them there.

"What the hell have you done?! I said Eira was in France and would not be able to come!" Narcissa said as she looked at him, "but no you just had to mention it to her didn't you? Why did you have to go behind my back?"

"I asked her to come because I wanted to see her and I thought that it wouldn't arouse suspicions if she came now. I am fully aware that your mother must not find out anything," Lucius said, "you're allowed Severus…"

"Severus is here because he is our friend and the godfather of our son! Eira is my cousin who has never been to one of our balls. Really Lucius? I think her being here will certainly raise eyebrows. Do you only think with your cock because seriously…!"

"No Cissa. I am trying to repair our relationship and wanted to speak to Eira here and tell her that because it would look less odd. The only place I want my cock to be is in you. You are my wife Cissa, not her," Lucius argued back, "you are so paranoid at times!"

"The amount of times that you have snuck away to be with her is far more than I ever did with Severus!" Narcissa said before gasping as Lucius pushed her against the wall and kissed her hard. Narcissa was mad… furious even… with him but he knew that she couldn't say no to him and she kissed her frenetically back before the two made love and didn't even care that they were leaving marks on each other.

Eventually after much repairing of Narcissa's gown and wands cleaning up appearances the two emerged back into the middle of the ball and walked around greeting the guests they'd failed to greet and apologised for their absence at the start of the Ball.

Lucius walked around with Narcissa on his arm and Eira and Severus, along with Priscilla were the only ones who could see the tension between the hosting couple and wondered when the four would get together.

Eventually the four managed to find a quiet corner.

"You two really need to stop acting so tense because someone will gather something is up," Eira said as she watched her cousin.

"You shouldn't be here. You weren't invited by me Eira," Narcissa said as she looked at her cousin, "Lucius invited you against my wishes and that has deeply upset me."

"Well you invited Severus," Eira spat back.

"He is a friend to myself and Lucius and the godfather of our son who has always come to Balls," Narcissa said, "you haven't been to one of our Balls," she said, "I think you showing up would have raised more eyebrows than Severus showing up," she said.

"You're just worried that Lucius will make me scream more than he does you…" Eira smirked before Lucius grabbed Narcissa as she lurched forwards towards her cousin.

"Eira that is uncalled for!" Lucius said as he looked at his lover, "Narcissa is my wife and you dare say those sorts of things in front of her. This situation is tense without you saying that. Nobody speaks to my wife like that! Get out of here," he said before Eira smirked and left before Lucius took the time to check that Narcissa was ok. What nobody was aware of was that Druella had heard everything.

The Ball finished and Lucius and Narcissa were using their wands to pack away things before Druella walked over to them.

"Have you two slept with anyone other than each other?" she asked and Narcissa, luckily, had her back turned to her mother as the plate had slipped slightly in her hands.

"What are you talking about Druella? Narcissa and I have never slept with anyone other than each other," Lucius said, able to react first to what his mother-in-law had said.

"Narcissa…?" Druella said, clearly not believing what her son-in-law was saying.

"The only man I have slept with is Lucius mother. I know the rules and expectations," Narcissa said as she turned around to face her mother, "Lucius is my husband and the only one who I love and would sleep with," she said as she stood by her husband's side. Druella raised an eyebrow and looked at the couple.

"So I didn't hear my niece talking about Lucius making her scream more than he does with Lucius?" she asked, crossing her arms and watching the couple.

"No you did not," Narcissa said before realising that her mother had heard everything that had been said between the four of them and her heart was thumping against her chest.

"So there is nothing going on that I need to put a stop to?" Druella asked, "you both better be telling the truth."

"We are," Lucius and Narcissa said at the same time before Druella scoffed, a sign she didn't believe the before warning them that if she heard different there would be trouble before walking away and the couple knew they'd have to be more careful about arguments in the future.
