Title: Rhapsody Resumed II--Couldn't Stop if I Wanted To...
Author: SchizoAuthoress
Rating: PG (because I CAN)
Warnings: slashy goodness, as always! And language, as usual.
A/N: Eh, this just made itself a sequel to "A Very Good Friend I Don't Know At All" (damn that obscure
reference in the last letter...) so now it's part of my big, extensive, probably-never-gonna-get-finished
series.
In fact, only my poems, "Persona Non Grata," "A Friend More Faithful," and "From the Cutting Room
Floor" are not part of The Forgotten People. "The Beatles at Hogwarts" and "That 80s Fic" are humorous
side stories in alternate universes of The Forgotten People. (damn the Muses and their insidious
connection of fics...) ::kicks self::
Dedicated to the wonderful Silent Stalker! I command you to go to her site (see her profile by going to my
favorite authors) and read all her fics! After, of course, you read and review this one. ^_^

Dearest Severus,
It is strange how fate works. I had just discovered that Narcissa has, to put it delicately, a history of being
less than faithful to her vows when your letter dropped into my lap. If she doesn't care to keep a promise
of fidelity, then I see no reason to ignore my earlier promises to you.
I promised that I would try never to hurt you...and I broke that, I acknowledge, but I want to make things
right again. I want you with me, like it was before. The only thing holding me back...Sev, I can't leave my
son. Narcissa may be only a blind follower of the Dark Lord, but she is unswervingly loyal to Him as well.
If ever He comes back, she'll push my little dragon to Him without a thought. Sometimes I wonder how a
selfish bitch like her could ever be a mother...
I can't let that happen to Draco. We both know exactly what awaits the followers of Darkness.
As much as I love you, even though I've said my heart belongs only to you, I think I lied. I never thought
that I could love someone who was related to Narcissa...but Draco, my son, is the chain that binds me to
this life. And I love him. I can't help but love him.
I am so sorry, love. But if you could be content with being, as harsh as it sounds, a secret paramour... But
no, I can't think of you that way. I have never been ashamed of you, and I don't aim to take the same path
of those who HAVE to hide their lovers. Sev, darling, perhaps you are right. Perhaps we must never speak
of our love, never see each other again...
But even writing the words hurts. I can't forget you. You've had my heart for far too long.
Every word that you have written to me in your letter is engraved in my heart; I feel the same way about you,
my beloved poet. I can't stop loving you, even if I wanted to. Rest assured that I don't.
Yours,
Lucius.
