Lucius was standing in the backyard of Malfoy Mansion with a glass of white wine in his hand. He was gazing at the sleeping swans in the lake that lay before him. A grin spread on his face before he drained the remaining contents of the crystal glass.
"My, my Mister Rohart, do you realize you're trespassing and that I'm allowed to curse you when you're on my property?" he asked.
He swiftly withdrew his wand from the cane, turned on his heel and faced Raidon. Lucius wasn't much taller than Raidon who stood before his sister's attacker with his wand at the ready.
"Might I inquire why you're threatening me, Mister Rohart?" Lucius smirked.
Instead of giving a proper answer, Raidon shouted "Expelliarmus" sending Lucius flying back across the grass for a few feet. He landed hard on his back but still held his wand. He stood up and walked back to where Raidon stood and closed the distance between them.
"Mister Rohart, I would appreciate it if you would answer my question instead of attacking me," Lucius said, keeping his voice steady.
Raidon lifted his wand again and cast a petrifying spell at Lucius but he blocked it easily. Raidon's growing rage kept him from thinking logically and acting fast.
"Were you this polite when you cursed my sister, mister Malfoy?" he spat out his name in disgust.
"Oh good, you do talk. Mister Rohart, the nature of the relationship between Miss Rohart and myself is none of your business," Lucius answered.
Raidon lowered his head as if he was defeated. He suddenly raised his wand and shouted "Crucio." The spell hit Lucius by surprise and he fell to his knees in agony. Raidon raised his wand again to stop the torture - at least, for now.
"Dahlia is my sister and I look after her. You've tortured, insulted her and treated her like one of your house-elves. Now it's your turn to twist in agony like a serpent, you fucking son of a bitch," Raidon hissed.
Panting slightly, Lucius stood up and straightened his robes.
"You obviously have the same charming vocabulary as your sister," Lucius sneered.
"Shut up! I will make you pay for what you did to her and Eris," Raidon hissed through gritted teeth.
"Isn't this just wonderful? Big brother comes to threaten me on my own territory. You must be very brave or very foolish to do that. Your father must have told you that I'm rather powerful. He, on the other hand, told me that you aren't. If I were you, I'd leave now while you still can," Lucius said threateningly.
Raidon swiftly raised his wand and shouted "Impedimenta" before Lucius could react. He was thrown several feet back again and was slammed into a tree. He hissed in pain and touched the back of his head. As he looked at his fingers, he saw some blood from his impact against the hard wood of the tree.
"I don't think Darius will be too happy when he hears about this," Lucius hissed as he stood up again.
"Tell that man whatever you want Lucius. I don't care and I'm sure he doesn't care either. He wouldn't even curse you if you killed his entire family and took his wife in front of him. At least I'll stand up to revenge what you've done to Dahlia," Raidon said.
"How beautiful," Lucius grinned as he applauded mockingly. "What a great influence I am, don't you think? Now, are you going to stand there feeling sorry for yourself or are you going to attempt to fight me like you've threatened to do? I have a few important raids to see to so I don't have all night."
Raidon lifted his wand again, ready to curse him but Lucius was faster and hexed Raidon with the Cruciatus spell. He fell onto his knees and clutched his head. The pain soared through Raidon's entire body. He fought not to scream it out but couldn't take the pain any longer. Like a wolf, he raised his head towards the moon and shouted his lungs out. All of a sudden, the agony stopped. Raidon opened his eyes again and saw Lucius standing a mere few feet away from where he sat, a cold, cruel grin on his face.
"You enjoy this, don't you," Raidon breathed as he slowly stood up again.
"I'd be an awful Death Eater if I didn't. Since you're so noble to stand up for Dahlia, I assumed you wouldn't mind sharing the pain she had," Lucius sneered.
"What did you do to my sister then? She told me parts of it but not everything," Raidon said.
"Trust me boy, ignorance is bliss and as I've told you before, this is none of your business. Now, are you going to leave while you still can or do you need a lesson?" Lucius said.
Raidon didn't move or answer Lucius' question. The two men kept on staring at each other, their eyes locked in an intent gaze. All of a sudden, Raidon raised his wand and shouted 'legilimens.' Lucius was fast enough to block of the spell and countered it with the 'impedimenta' curse. Raidon was blasted off his feet and hit his head on a rock when he landed on his back. It took him some time before he got back to his feet.
"Look Mister Rohart, I think you'd better ask Dahlia how all of this started instead of trying to read my mind. I'm sure she'll happily explain that she approached me that night in the Three Broomsticks. She invited me to join her birthday celebrations not vice versa. By the way, where were you that night, Brother?" Lucius sneered.
"Well, mister Malfoy, that's none…"
Before Raidon could finish his sentence, Lucius had hit him with another 'Cruciatus' curse. He fell onto the grass again, twitching and screaming in pain until Lucius lifted the curse.
"That's for trying to intrude on my head, mister Rohart," Lucius said.
"So you've got a reason every time you curse someone?" Raidon panted as he slowly tried to get up again.
"For most of them, yes, I have a proper reason," Lucius stated matter-of-factly.
"Are you going to spare my life as you've done with Dahlia in order to keep your business relationship with my father?" Raidon asked.
"Good question, Mister Rohart. I might, yet on the other hand, you're the one who came to fight me. This could be considered a case of self-defence," Lucius sneered.
"You should've become a lawyer, Mister Malfoy. You possess the same polite qualities to talk yourself out of things," Raidon smirked.
"I indeed have many charming qualities and I'll happily demonstrated one of my favourites," Lucius said as he hexed Raidon again.
Raidon fell onto the ground again and immediately screamed out as the magic's blue flames licked his entire body. He rolled over the ground in a failed attempt to put out his burning robes but without any luck. Raidon tried to ignore the burning pain and focused on how to extinguish himself. Then all of a sudden, the burning stopped. As he stopped screaming, he could've sworn he had heard another voice. Raidon slowly turned his head and saw a young boy walking back to the mansion.
"What's wrong Mister Malfoy? Can't your son bear to see what his father does in his spare time?" Raidon asked from where he was lying on the grass.
Before he could've done anything, Lucius was crouched down by his side, one knee pressing on Raidon's shoulder and Lucius' wand shoved into his mouth.
"Do not speak ill of my heir again or I will feed you to a Thestral," Lucius hissed through gritted teeth.
Raidon again didn't reply but stared at the sky over Lucius' head. The latter, removed the wand from the boy's mouth but still stared menacingly at him. With his free hand, Raidon fumbled in his robes. He took out a small knife, stabbed Lucius in his upper thigh and twisted the blade.
