The Beginning
A silvery shimmering filled her eyes, reflecting of glistening glass. The air felt sweet and humid. The heat of the bright sunlight shone around. Without warning a song of her mother tongue met with her ears. A pleasant, comforting tune that warmed her damp skin.
It was her song and it made those dreams real.
Like a trickling stream, the memory eddied away. Running further and further away from her out stretched hand. It lingered on the horizon, until it was gone. Washed away for another night.
She was alone.
Rowan opened her eyes with a start. She took in the heavy hangings of her darkened bed and could feel her body sink instinctively back into the welcoming coverings.
It was that day. Today was the start of something special.
***********************
Her black shoes scuffed on the stone steps, making imprints in their frosty coating. Her breath streamed like smoke out of her mouth, it was chilly. The Hogwarts grounds would have made a good manor, she thought to herself, shame they had to turn it into a school.
Her target was there already, just as she had planned. No words needed. The Malfoys were an intuitive lot.
Long blond hair hung neatly down the back of the dark coat, his usual silver staff clutched tightly at his side. Lucius liked the forest.
"Lucius." Rowan said formally, her voice slightly croaky.
She saw him stiffen slightly. He turned one side of his pointed face slyly to the right. "You came then." He said icily.
Rowan smiled gently. "Now, now Lucius." She moved nearer. "Don't make it colder than it is." Her sarcasm bit.
He raised his eyebrows with a smirk. "How are you?" He asked as though he actually wanted to know.
Rowan regarded him silently.
"Fine." She said finally.
Lucius sensed she seemed to be hiding something. "You're sure?"
Her eyes locked with his.
"Did you see it?" She asked quickly. Her eyes moved downwards. "No, you wouldn't have."
"See what?" Malfoy asked rigidly.
Rowan yawned shaking her head. "I'm sure you'll see it for real, soon enough." She gave him a knowing look.
"You saw -- it?" Lucius was taken aback at the thought.
She nodded, her blue eyes catching the light. "Yeah. Our Lord works in mysterious ways, my friend."
Lucius smiled slightly. "Then surely that means..?"
Rowan nodded, an excited look on her face. "Though, I'm going to have change tactics...."
"Oh?" He asked curiously.
"Hmmm, yes. Our catch will be harder to grasp than I had anticipated." She looked deadly serious.
"Ah well... If I can be of any help." He bowed his head oddly. Rowan smirked inwardly at the sight.
"You already have, Lucius." She cocked her head to one side, getting close enough to whisper. "Whatever you said in that letter, well." She looked up into his harsh eyes, biting her lip. "Gave Draco some ideas."
"Really?" He asked, swallowing at the closeness of her breath.
"Indeed." Rowan said innocently, turning away from him. "Your son has hardly left my side."
It had worked.
His hand reached out for hers, stopping her escape, how he burned. He felt the need. He had been taken. Lucius turned her to face him.
"Tell me." He uttered.
Rowan gave him a dangerously devious look. "Tell you?" She asked simply. "Tell you what?"
He looked anguished; she delighted at the mental torture. Lucius moved his eyes over her delicate frame. He gripped her chin. "Tell me."
She smiled against his hand. "What do you want to know Mr. Malfoy?" She cast her eyes over his face. "That your son gives me what I want?" She gasped as his hand trickled down her exposed neck.
"That he takes me..?" Rowan breathed onto his nearing face. His free hand had gripped her back. She looked up at him; her own hand had found his silky hair.
"He takes me to the brink of ecstasy. You want to hear that Lucius?"
He did not answer.
Lucius pulled her into closer contact with him, his body wanting hers. He grasped her face, firmer than before, his tongue edging round his teeth.
Then it happened.
His mouth was upon hers. Embracing the greed they personified. So raw almost painful. He was hungry for her, he needed her. She would not give her charms to Draco alone. No, he would not allow it. He wanted some of her too.
Though she would not give her entirety into his grasp. No. Part of Rowan Lennox would always belong to her Lord. Forever.
She pulled away, her pale skin flushed in the sudden heat. "Well," She said breathlessly. "I didn't know you had green eyes, Lucius."
He gasped this time, not fully understanding what she had said. He gave her a puzzled look.
"Jealousy is a dangerous thing, Lucius. You should watch yourself." Her face shone with pleasure.
"Jealousy?" He spluttered indignantly. She nodded silently.
"Don't worry about the help," She started. "I've just come up with an exceedingly envious plan." She winked at him, before crossing into the hidden shadows of the forest.
Lucius exhaled slowly. An owl hooted softly from the castle. He did not know what he had just got himself into. Then his thoughts turned to what his master had told him,
"Give her what she needs." He had said. Lucius Malfoy did not know quite what Rowan needed.
But he wanted to give it to her.....
