Chapter 2 Harsh Words
Lucius Awoke hearing a familiar voice screaming as she was dragged by his cell, "Bellatrix!" She looked at him and mouthed the words "you're fucking welcome"
After the guards successfully dragged her to her own cell they came back to his.
"you're being released in one hour Malfoy" This Particular hour was the longest in Lucius' entire life. He was given a handful of floo powder and was directed to the nearest fireplace.
"Malfoy Manor" he all but begged the small fireplace and with that he was gone.
When the fireplace opened up he was in the dining room, his dining room, his large warm dining room.
"Debble" he breathes summoning a small ragged house elf who appears directly in front of him looking fearful of his masters reappearance in the house.
"how may Debble be serving you master?"
"lay me out some clean clothing on my bed and summon my wife" he whispers to the elf who nods and is gone.
Lucius moves upstairs and climbing into the shower scrubbing his skin as hard as he can trying to rid himself of all the dirt that had accumulated on his pale skin while in Azkaban. After a full hour of scrubbing and washing his hair he steps out of the shower into the crafty manor air wrapping himself in a towel and heading into the attached bedroom. He quickly scans the room looking for his wife, but she isn't there.
"Debble!" He calls angrily waiting for the tiny elf to reappear while pulling on the clean clothes laid out for him.
"yes master?" squeaks the clearly scared elf.
"Where is Narcissa?"
"She's be in the library, She says if master wishes to be seeing her he must go to her" the elf squeaks quietly before cowering awaiting it's masters angry response but one doesn't come.
Lucius storms out of the room knocking over the elf in the process quickly finding himself standing in the doorway of the library staring at his wife who sits curled up in a chair reading a book beside the fire peacefully. The rise and fall of her chest deeply stirring deprived emotions within him.
"why didn't you come to greet me?" He breathes, a hint of anger in his quiet voice.
"I'm not your slave Lucius and I believe I have done enough for you today" she responds turning the page and not bothering to look up at him.
"you mean...Bellatrix?" He asks confused
"yes, she handed herself in saying she put you under the imperius curse forcing you into the hall of prophecy" she explains calmly still not even bothering to take a glance at her now cleaned up husband.
Lucius moves slowly to his wife and holds his arms out to her, begging her silently to embrace him, needing to touch her.
"No Lucius I don't need or want your comfort or your touch" she states firmly turning the page again.
"Narcissa..." He pleads still holding out his arms.
Narcissa stands to her full height and pulls her wand out of her robes pointing it at him angrily.
"I hate you Lucius, After all the things you've done to me you still expect me to welcome you back with open arms! Our son has been branded because of you Lucius and because of his mission he can never go back to Hogwarts! I hate you for what you did to our daughter and because of you I can't naturally have any more children, If I had half a mind left Lucius I would Kill you right here and now, the only person who would miss you is your poor damaged son" she growls.
Lucius drops to his knees in front of he, grabbing the bottom edges of her pale blue dress, tears running down his pale cheeks.
"Does it hurt to hear the truth Lucius, to feel the way I have for so many long years? Unloved? Unwanted?" She asks coldly.
"I've have always loved you" he begins, begging her to hear him.
"CRUCIO!" She roars as he collapses on the floor writhing and screaming out in pain until she releases the spell leaving him in a panting heaving ball on the floor.
"pl..please Narcissa" he stammers as she hits him with the spell again, his body on fire with the white hot liquid magic running through his form, she releases him again staring at him
"please what Lucius?" She snaps angrily.
"forgive me" he whispers, his voice trembling with the effects of her curses.
"Why would I want to do something so foolish Lucius? so I begin to trust you and you can hurt me again? Beat me more? I don't think so!"
"I'll never hurt you again Narcissa, I promise" he breathes pulling himself up gingerly from the floor.
"why do you lie to me Lucius? your promises mean nothing to me anymore" she pauses for a moment raising her wand again. "Crucio!"
This time Lucius' body hit the floor and his world goes black his body to tired to fight and leaving him unconscious on the cold stone floor, Narcissa leaving him there and sitting back down to read her book.
