Apologies for the delay on this chapter! My real-life day job has been absolutely insanely busy! Hopefully will get more consistent updates now :)


The rest of the winter season at Hogwarts was a rather cold one. There seemed to be more snow than any other previous year and most of the students were constantly inside, warming themselves in front of the many fireplaces in the castle, studying, hanging out with friends, playing games and just staying in doors and out of the bitter cold.

You and Lucius had loved it, as it both gave you endless chances to cuddle up together; and now you finally could in public too since everyone knew you were a couple. And although you now held each others' hands in the hallways and corridors and snuck chaste kisses whenever you were together publicly, you both kept kept your passionate kissing and touching to strictly your two favorite spots; the Room of Requirement and your greenhouse down in the gardens of the school. Both places no one would ever come looking for either of you. You spent hours daily in either location. Kissing each other, touching each other, making love, and just simply existing in dreamy bliss. The outside world unable to touch you.

As for Amalie, you and her had been getting slowly back to normal. At first you both didn't talk for a week after the New Year's party incident when she found out about you and Lucius. Frankly, deep down inside, you knew that you had lost a lot of love and respect for her from her reaction to it all. You had thought as your best friend, she would be more happy for you.

However as the weeks went on, you both were civil to each other, and then smiles began returning whenever you were both around each other in the Slytherin Common room and in your Potions Class that you shared with Lucius. Things were pretty much back to normal, but you noticed that there was always something there behind her eyes. Your friendship had changed a bit. However, Lucius more then made up for the slight loss you felt at that. All in all, everything was good, and you longed for the winter to continue so that you could live in the warm bubble you currently were in. You wanted time to stand still, never wanting the moment to change. Because as you knew, when Spring arrived, that only meant a few more months until Lucius would graduate; something which made your stomach tighten in knots.

In the early weeks of March, when the heavy snow was beginning to melt away leaving only layers of frost all over the grounds of the school, you had been working away in your greenhouse one Monday afternoon. Monday was always your busy herbology day, your favorite, and you loved spending a majority of the day in your own personal greenhouse amongst your vibrant white roses, which had thrived during the winter as well as your various healing herbs that you grew as well.

Lucius would always meet you every Monday in your greenhouse, right as the sun began to set, usually distracting you with his sweet kisses, and then most of the time, taking your body every which way on whatever available surface you could find.

As if right on schedule, you heard the soft tapping on the glass of Lucius' finger, asking to be let in. You usually locked your door, wanting privacy as you worked, and then later when Lucius would join you, privacy for other activities as well. You smiled and set down the watering can you had been using and went straight over to the door, your heart fluttering with happiness as it always did at seeing Lucius.

Your smile faded however, when you saw Lucius' beautiful face had a slight bruised mark and a gash on the right side of his cheek.

You quickly opened the door to let him in and immediately took his hand in yours.
"Lucius what happened?" You asked with great concern as you gently cupped his left cheek, careful to avoid his injured right one.

Lucius skin turned a pale color at your question and he grimaced. "I knew you would ask of course… I didn't want you to see me this way, but I also didn't want to miss our Monday meeting down here in your greenhouse," he said, his classic smirk playing across his lips briefly before it faded away again into an upset look. "I went home this weekend…" he began to say but stopped as he looked down at the ground, not wanting to go on.

"Lucius…" you said grimly. "What happened…?"

Your stomach felt sick. You knew he had gone home for the weekend. You hadn't thought anything of it; you thought he was just visiting his parents. But now with that knowledge, you knew that he got this injury from being at home, and it made your blood begin to boil

"Who did this to you…?" You continued. Although you already knew.

"Who do you think?" Lucius said his eyes closing almost as if in agony.

You flushed a bit out of rage, your hand falling away from his cheek, your fists balling up at the side of your body in anger. How dare that man…his father…hurt him.

"Why?" You asked as you looked back at the reddish purple mark, and the angry red gash that marked his face.

"Because I…I refused to do something. Something truly awful…" he said so quietly that you almost couldn't hear him.

"What was it?" You asked, your stomach sinking even lower, as you assumed it was most likely Abraxas wanting him to remove you from his son's life again.

Lucius opened his mouth as if he was about to say something but the words caught in his throat and he didn't continue. Instead he just reached his warm comforting hands to cup your cheeks now and rubbed them sweetly with his thumb, then reaching one of his hands to tuck a piece of your hair behind your ear. Looking at you seemed to have a calming effect on him and he softly smiled. "I'd rather not talk about it Kitten…I just…I just want you…I need you," he pleaded.

You needed Lucius too. Being away from him during the weekend was horrible enough, but seeing him in pain made you hesitate for a bit.

"But Lucius…you're hurt…" you began to protest before he put his finger against your lips to silence you.

"Shhhh," he said with a smirk, "I am only injured on my face…nowhere else," he said implying that he could still take you as his without any delay.

That little statement got you to smile a bit, but your eyes still lingered on the painful looking red marks and cut on his face, however looking directly into his grey eyes, you also saw his deep need for you, making you feel incredibly special, as if you were the only thing in the world that could heal him of his pain.

Confirming your suspicions Lucius said ever so gently "Please my love… I need you."

You knew then you could never deny him, especially when all he needed was your body and soul to revive him.

"I need you too," you replied back as you reached your hand to cup his left cheek again and leaned in so you could kiss him gently, not wanting to do anything that would hurt him further. You knew Lucius was anything but fragile, but you still couldn't bear the thought of hurting him.

He kissed you back softly and sweetly, his warm lips feeling so good against your own. As you two kissed you heard him moan softly and deeply in his chest, the feeling of being with you comforting him greatly.

You wrapped your arms around his neck to bring your bodies closer, and you suddenly felt him pick you up by your waist to sit you on one of your greenhouse tables that wasn't occupied with any plants or roses. You loved whenever he picked you up and put you where he wanted you, as you knew he was about to take you in the best of ways.

Sure enough, with his grey eyes glinting with passion, he began unbuttoning your Hufflepuff sweater revealing your black lacy bra to him, his hands coming up to cup your breasts to feel you through the fabric of the bra. Even through the fabric you could feel how warm and assuring his hands were and you leaned your head back a bit and closed your eyes in pleasure. "Mmmm," you hummed.

Your eyes were still closed, but you then felt one of his hands trailing up your knee and then upper thigh, going under your grey uniform skirt before his fingers reached the apex between your thighs, feeling your warm core through your panties. He briefly cupped your pussy in his hand before reaching his finger under your panties and slowly drawing it up and down over your slit, which was already wet with desire.

You heard him groan in pleasure deep in his chest again as he felt you and it made you even more aroused knowing how much he loved you and your body.

"God you are so perfect," he said in a very deep voice, which was thick with longing.

"You are," you moaned out, your hands clutching the end of the table as his finger had found its way to your sensitive clit and had been circling it slowly and agonizingly.

As he continued rubbing your clit slowly with his finger, he leaned back in to kiss you, this time more passionately and strongly and you knew at any minute he would enter you; your pussy clenched in anticipation.

Sure enough he briefly pulled away from the kiss and removed his hand from your womanhood, as he quickly unzipped his pants, letting them fall to the ground and then removed his boxer briefs, so that his erect cock could be free. Your body tingled as you took in the glorious sight of his large, hard manhood, as it swayed a bit as he came back in closer to you so that he could finally be inside of you.

"Come here baby," he said as he grabbed your hips and scooted you a bit so that your bum was at the edge of the table, so that his cock was at the perfect position to enter you.

Gripping the table with one hand, and his right shoulder with the other, your head fell back once more as you felt him enter you slowly.

"Ahhhh," you moaned aloud, feeling so full and complete that you felt as if you could die and go to heaven. Lucius too moaned out loud, his head leaning down however, so that he could see your bodies combined as one and so he could take in the amazing sight of his large cock sliding in and out of your wet pussy.

"Yes," he moaned. "This is all I need."

"Yes, yes," you panted as you agreed with his sentiments.

You simply adored looking up at him as he drove into you over and over again. He knew the exact pace to go, not too rough but not to gentle either; his thrusts were hard yet sure and you could feel his love he had for you and it was everything.

After a bit, Lucius smirked and grabbed your legs and brought them up so that your heels were then resting on his shoulders. You hadn't yet done this position before, and the feeling of deepness that it caused was shocking and yet incredibly pleasurable. You had never felt him as deep as he currently was ever before.

"Lucius!" You cried out in pleasure as you leaned your upper body all the way back on the table, as Lucius was now fully in control of your lower half.

"Does that feel good Kitten?" He asked, his jaw clenching, clearly indicating that he himself was experiencing immense pleasure as he drove into you so deeply.

"Fuck yes," you said as your eyes closed tight as you felt the beginnings of an orgasm as you became even more wet, and your inside walls began fluttering, preparing for sweet release.

You opened your eyes to see Lucius smirking once again, especially at your use of foul language. He loved making you feel so good that you lost all sense of propriety.

With your legs still over his shoulders, he reached around so that he could then begin rubbing your clit, helping you to completion as he still maintained his thrusts. Lucius one again proving that he was incredibly skilled when it came to pleasuring a woman, and you couldn't believe that you were the woman that got to be pleasured by him, and only you.

"Lucius!" You cried out once again at the added sensation of him circling your clit with his finger.

"Yes my love…come for me," he commanded, his eyes rolling into the back of his head, his thrusts becoming more intense and hard. You knew he was close as well.

"Come with me," you pleaded him. You knew both of you were so close and you knew you'd be able to come together.

"Yes baby," he said as he slammed into you a few last times, his finger still circling your clit, but his other hand now gripping your ankle so hard you knew it would leave a bruise or two. "I'm going to come. Now," he cried out as you felt his warm seed fill you up, making you feel so full at the angle you were currently in.

Just seeing him lose himself like that caused you to fall over the edge into your own orgasm as well, and in one beautiful moment, the two of you were on the same wave length, your orgasms arriving at the same time, as you both rode out your bliss within each other.

After you both caught your breath, Lucius gently lowered your legs from his shoulders, careful not to cause you any pain from releasing you from the position he had had you in. He then softly laid his upper half over you, where you were lying on the table and kissed you so sweetly, it took your breath away yet again.

"Thank you," he whispered into your ear. "I needed that."

"I always need you," you replied back as you held his body against yours.

Lucius made a noise of happiness and continued cuddling on top of you for a bit before he slowly got up off of you, helping you into a seated position as well and then finally off of the table.

As he put his pants back on and you straightened out your skirt and buttoned back up your sweater, you couldn't help but watch him. He was so beautiful in that moment. His hair disheveled from your love making, his grey eyes so bright and full of life they looked almost like molten silver, but then of course the bruising and horrible cut on the side of his face. You remembered before your coupling you had wanted to heal him, and now that the haze of arousal had passed, you needed nothing more than to take care of him.

You slowly made your way over to your herbs you grew in the back of the greenhouse. You grew a variety of plants, most of them the healing variety; especially the Dittany that you grew. It was one of the finest breeds and the Herbology teacher often praised you for your high quality Dittany. Grabbing a bit of the plant in your hand, you made your way over to the table that had your pestle and mortar and you began to grind the plant until it was a smooth paste. You mixed it with a bit of distilled healing water and made your way back over to Lucius who was sitting on the table waiting for you. He clearly knew you wouldn't let him leave and he smiled in knowing as you came back over to him.

"You know I have to take care of you. Always," you smiled and laughed a bit.
"I know," he smiled softly as he waited for you to tend to his wounds.

You put some of the healing Dittany mixture on your fingers and gently reached up to his face and rubbed it on the bruises and the gash. He winced a bit at first, but then immediately his face relaxed and he closed his eyes in comfort. You knew the effects of your Dittany were practically immediate and you were sure that it's healing properties made his wound feel much better.

As you gently rubbed you saw Lucius' perfect smile appear across his face and he whispered. "I love you," so softly it was almost as if he was speaking aloud to himself.

You smiled, your heart feeling so full and kissed the top of his head. "I love you."

After you took your fingers away from his face and wiped them on a spare towel you had, you saw that the gash had closed up and the bruises had faded to a light pink color. The marks were practically gone and you were quite pleased with the results.

"Almost completely gone," you said as you took his hands in yours and smiled.

"It does feel a lot better," he said with a sigh of relief as he stood up from where he had been sitting on the table to his full height. "Thank you Kitten," he said as he leaned down to kiss you in thanks.

"I'm always here for you. No matter what," you said as you held his hands still.

You loved how close you both were. Not only was Lucius your lover and boyfriend, but he was also your best friend. He knew it as well, and he just held you for a bit, showing his love and appreciation for you.

"Shall we get some dinner?" He said after a bit as he then offered you his arm.

"Mhm," you nodded as you grabbed his arm as he led you out of the greenhouse, the glass still fogged over from your love making, which caused you to smirk a bit in satisfaction.

You locked up your greenhouse and the two of you made your way back up to the castle to the Great Hall, hand in hand in perfect bliss. Little did you know in the weeks ahead, everything was about to change….
