( NOTE : Im going to add some parts into this that Sirius does NOT see, but
I just wanted to write them anyway! In case you cant guess, (which Im sure
you all can) Ill put (*) at the start and end of a section which he doesnt
see. This is mostly flashback, with Sirius watching it. Lana and Lucius
thoughts are in brackets. Also a little background on to why Lanas in that
situation is in the brackets as well. Not sure about Barty Crouch Jrs
age....but oh well. And...Imagine Lucius Malfoy at 21....Tall, blonde,
powerful...Not the idiot in Chamber of Secrets. *shudder* :P)
**********THE GHOST ROADS**********
Sirius looked around at the wide corridor. To his right was the Malfoy Family tree. There was a scorch mark where he, Sirius, had been burnt off. So had Andromeda. Sirius pulled a face. So he was in the Malfoy house.
This cant mean anything good, Sirius thought. He saw some stairs to the left of him, and he slowly started walking up them.
********************************************************************** (*)Lana leaned in closer, and ran her hand down his chest. Finally he had invited her back to the Malfoy estate. Shed been working on Lucius for about a week, pretending shed split up with Sirius, that she had no idea what the Order of the Phoenix was, pretending she was sick of Dumbledore. When Dumbledore had expelled her from school, he told her that he thought she would be more useful working for the Order. Told her he had a special assignment for her. Little did she know what it would entail.
Lucius looked at Lana, his grey eyes shining. It had only been a week since he had seen her in the Leaky Cauldron, crying into her Butterbeer. Gained her trust. She was pretty stupid, Lucius thought. She should have known he was one of the Death Eaters that attacked her, Sirius, Lily and James. Stupid girl. Voldemort had been most pleased. Recruit her Lucius, Voldemort had told him. By any means necessary. Lucius was the reason Lana had gotten out alive. That had been almost 2 months ago.
"Had this in mind all along, did we Lana?" he asked.
She raised an eyebrow and undid a button on his robe, traced a line across the little bit of flesh that was showing, "Umm mmm.." Lana murmered, looking at him. (Oh God what am I doing, what am I doing...Im still with Sirius..Oh God..No, dont think of that..Concentrate..Youve got his trust...Now use it to your advantage.)
Lucius didnt hesitate. (Lana was stupid, yes, but powerful. And damn sexy. Not even his fiance, Narcissa, did it for him like Lana had ever since she was 14. Narcissa was just a convinience. If it worked well with Lana, he intended on marrying her instead. Dumbledore had expelled her for using the Cruciatus curse on some students in the year below her. Barty Crouch had confirmed the rumors. He was in Lanas year at school. )
Pulling Lana to him, he kissed her hard on the lips. He ran his hands up in the inside of her shirt, feeling her flat, taut stomach and running them around her back, pulling her top over her head as Lana pulled his robe off.
Lana resisted the urge to shove herself away from Lucius. This past week had already put an incredible strain on her relationship with Sirius. Lying to him. (All my own fault, Lana thought. If I hadnt said that I thought there was a traitor...How else would Voldemort know where we were going to be at that exact moment? That she didnt trust Snape, that she thought it was a good idea to get another mole inside...She wouldnt be here. Sacrifices have to be made, Dumbledore said. And Lucius is in Voldemorts inner circle. Lucius had quite the thing for you in school, so your...Talents will make him an easy target. And do NOT tell Sirius, Dumbledore had stressed. He will get insanely jealous, and blow your cover.)
But she couldnt help a moan esacping her lips when Lucius kissed her again more passionately and then reached up with one hand to cup her breast. Lana tore his shirt off, and ran her hands down his muscular and scarred chest, opening her eyes for a split second and seeing the Death Eaters mark on the inside of his arm.
For a split second, she felt terrified. She knew she would pay the price of her life if she was discovered. She was glad Dumbledore had spread the rumors for her expulsion, it gave her a certain edge.
"Upstairs." he said, grabbing Lana and disapparating with her in his arms. They fell onto his bed.
(Disapparating with another person...Dark Magic.)
"Im a dangerous man, Lana.."
"I know" she said, a little breathless as his hand travlleled further up her leg, pushing her skirt up. (How corny, she thought to herself. No. Dont think. Just feel. Shut yourself off. Isnt that what Snape said he did? Detatched himself from his emotions? Not that he had any...) Lana let out a derisive laugh.
Lucius gave Lana an odd look.
(Think fast, Lana thought)
Lana grabbed Lucius and pulled him down onto her, kissing him extremely passionately, and he was loving every moment of this, and, to Lanas disgust...so was she. She bent her left leg at the knee as his hand reached into her panties and pressed his fingers against her.
"Stop." Lana whispered.
He didnt.
"Stop." she said again, a little louder.
"What?" Lucius said.
"Stop it." Lana said, knowing this was gonna cost her, and cost he heavily.
Lucius glared down at her, that dangerous look in his eyes that was just not sexy.
(Oh God oh God, crap crap crap...I cant do this. But I have to. Voldemorts planning a big hit, and I need to find out who it is. We cant protect everyone in the Order. This is the only way..Oh crap.)
Lana, regretting everything so far, and dreading what was coming, smiled sexily up at Lucius.
"Me on top." she said, grabbing him by the arms and pushing him off her....(*) ********************************************************************
"Be careful," warned the boy. "You might not like what you see. And you cannot change anything that has already happened."
As usual, Sirius ignored the boy. Coming to the top of the stairs, there was a short corridor and a pair of huge black doors. Not that he could move anything physical anyway. Stepping through the doors, he was in a huge room that was quite obviously a bedroom. Clothes had been flung on the floor.
There was a huge, cast iron bed in the centre of the room. Two figures were lay under the black and white sheets. One of them stirred. Her long dark hair covered her face and from this distance, Sirius couldnt tell who it was. She turned to the person next to them and shook them. When the second person didnt wake up, the girl let out a huge sigh of relief.
As she pushed her hair from her face, and looked forward, staring at a spot a few feet to the left of Sirius, Sirius' breath caught in his chest.
It was Lana.
In Lucius Malfoys house.
In a bed in his house.
Lana grabbed a white sheet and wrapped it around her. Sirius noticed the scar on her left arm and figured this must be around Christmas, when Lana was supposed to be in her 7th year.
"LANA!" he shouted, as Lana walked across the room, careful not to make a noise.
The boy shook his head. "They cannot hear you."
The man on the bed stirred. Sirius looked around and saw that it was Lucius Malfoy, his short blonde hair mussed up.
"Where are you going?" he drawled.
"Im taking a shower." Lana answered, thinking (Im going to run scalding hot water on the places you touched me).
"The bathrooms that way." Lucius said, pointing at a door on the opposite side of the room.
Him waking up had rattled Lana, and she wasnt happy.
"Thanks." she said, walking hurriedly across the room.
Lucius looked Lana up and down and Sirius was fuming. Lucius flopped back down on the bed. "Want any company?" he asked.
"No." Lana told him icily and slammed the door behind her.
"Just crown yourself the Ice-Queen." muttered Lucius, staring up at the ceiling.
Sirius was torn by what he had just witnessed. He couldnt, wouldnt believe that Lana would do this to him. She had sex with Lucius Malfoy. And when she made such a big deal out of it when they first started going out...Sirius hadnt slept with Lana till theyd been going out about 8 months...And here she was, sleeping with someone that she hated. He thought sex had meant something to her. Obviously not, if she was gallavanting with Lucius Malfoy, of all people. No, wait, Lana would never..
"ITS A TRICK! A LIE! LANA WOULD NEVER - WHY ARE YOU SHOWING ME THIS?"
The boy looked at him calmly. "It is not a trick. I only know what was, and what is."
"YOURE LYING!" Sirius shouted, wanting to strike the boy for lying to him.
The boy pointed at the door Lana had just gone through. Sirius looked at the boy quizzically, angry eyes burning into the boys.
Lana had slammed into the the bathroom, her head pounding. (How much HAD I drunk last night? Must have been a lot, too much, if I finally managed to bring myself to sleep with that.) She was disgusted at herself, like something dirty had crawled inside her, gotten under her skin, and it was itching, and she couldnt get it out or make it stop. Her eyes stung with tears, and she put a hand over her mouth to muffle a sob.
Sirius walked through the door, and he stood in the corner watching. He watched Lana intently.
Walking over to the shower, she started crying harder. She turned the shower on full power, to drown out the sound of her crying. Lana pulled the sheet around her tighter as she leant against the wall. She slid down it, her arms wrapped around her knees, head on her arms, sobbing.
The scar on Lanas arm was still slightly scabbed and red. Sirius frowned. She got that at the end of November, when her and Moody had been out on patrol. Theyd been attacked, and Moody had saved Lanas life. Created the unbreakable bond between two wizards. Sirius figured it must be mid- December. She wasnt even 18 yet. And the war ended just before Lana was 19.
A sudden movement brought Sirius out of his thoughts. Lana had crawled across the bathroom and was now vomiting into the toilet. "Oh God oh God oh God oh God." she was murmering. After flushing the toilet, Lana wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and leant against the wall. She pushed her hair from her face. "What have I done..." Lana paused for a moment, then she started coughing violently.
Sirius rushed over to her and sat in front of her. He was angry, hurt, upset and confused, but something was wrong with Lana.
Her eyes were bloodshot and she stopped coughing after about a minute. Her hand was on her chest as she slowed her breathing. Staring straight ahead, right at, or rather, through, Sirius, she gasped - "Sirius."
"I thought you said she couldnt see me?" asked Sirius.
They boy nodded. "I did say that."
Turning back to Lana, who was now coughing again, Sirius felt his eyes fill up. He was even more angry when the door opened and Lucius stood looking at Lana.
He was wearing an emerald green silk robe. "I thought you might have changed your mind about wanting some company." he said, then walked and stood in the middle of the room, still some feet away from Lana. "Whats wrong with you?" he asked suspisously.
"Hangover. Like you give a shit anyway." Lana said spitefully, between coughs.
Taking out his wand, he pointed it straight at Lanas chest.
Lana felt that terror again, only this time it seemed to last forever, not just a split second.
Sirius, overcome with rage and jealousy, flung himself at Lucius. Nothing happened tho. Sirius just went straight through him.
"I did tell you." the boy said.
A few tears fell from Lanas eyes, and the coughing ceased a little.
"Curo." he said, and Lanas coughing stopped.
Her head stopped pounding, and she no longer felt sick. "What did you do?"
"Cured you." he raised his eyebrows. "Why are you still crying?"
"Shock." Lana said, realising how pathetic she must look, sitting here with a sheet around her, crying.
Sirius, in the meantime, had moved and was stood between Lana, who was sat on the floor, and Lucius, who was stood up, his wand still pointed at her. The mirror had gotten steamy from the shower. He could barely breathe. The betrayal. This was past tears, past anger. Hed been betrayed by the person that hed give up everything for. By the one person who could have gotten him out of Azkaban but didnt. He loved her more than anything, but when he looked at her now, he felt disgusted, because shed let that thing touch her. She hadnt even respected him enough to tell her. He wouldnt have liked it, but for somone like Lana who prized honesty above anything to lie to him, to decieve him. Talk about irony. Next time he dragged her into the Ghost Roads, he was going to throttle her.
Lana avoided Lucius eyes.
His eyes were still narrowed, and had a glint in them that Lana didnt like. He walked quickly over to her, and grabbed her by the top of her right arm, and pulled her up roughly.
"HEY! GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" Sirius shouted as he saw Lana wince in pain. No, she deserves it, he thought.
"Ow!" Lana said, when Lucius grabbed her other arm and yanked her to him, their bodies touching.
He tightened his grip. "Lana. Im risking everything. My estate, my money, my family, my reputation." Fully aware of the pain he was causing Lana, he yanked her once more and tightened his grip even more.
Tears prickled and Lana winced, trying a little to get out of his grasp. "Youre hurting me."
Chuckling, he said "I didnt hear you complaining last night."
Lana knew some serious acting was needed to get her out of this one. "Im not complaining....Do it again." a smile playing across her lips.
Lucius lost the glint in his eyes and smirked, loosening his grip a little.
"Youre not the only one risking things you know." Lana said. "Im close to people who are close to Dumbledore. And these friends of mine are in this...What did you call it? Order of the Pigeon?"
"Phoenix, Lana, Phoenix." he corrected her.
"I know Dumbledore expelled me, but..." Shaking her head, Lana continued. "If he even suspects foul play, Im - "
She was stopped by Lucius planting a kiss on her lips, he let go of Lanas arms and grabbed her ass.
Sirius couldnt believe it. He couldnt belive it even more when a moan escaped Lanas lips. He fell to his knees, barely comprehending the depths of Lanas deciet...
