I don't own the characters from the Harry Potter Books, but any OC's are mine, mine I say!
The nextfour months past in a blur of passion, studying, and trying to squeeze in friends and family.
True to their predictions, Lucius had insisted on taking Liz others places. Ballet, Concerts, etc.
About a month after they began, he took her innocence as well. Not at a cheap motel, or on his broom, but on a soft satin bed in Lucius' house. It had been wonderful, and Liz had yet to regret it.
Liz found herself two months after that waking curled up in Lucius' arms with only a silk blanket wrapped around strategic areas for cover, and very happy. Snuggling deeper into his chest, she felt him stir slightly, finally those stormy grey eyes opened, and she giggled.
"Morning handsome." She whispered, leaning down and kissing him gently, he merely rose up and began pulling clothes out to wear.
"We need to leave. Narcissa will be back soon from her visit with Bella." Grumbling, Liz pulled the covers closer then pulled on her own clothes. As much as she loved Lucius, Liz hated this game of keep away.
And he seemed rather distant these days, as though pulling away. Of course, they had just made up after a spat over her and Veda's friend, a muggleborn Hufflepuff named Anne Rigors. Lucius had asked why she retained a friendship with a mudblood. He'd been shocked, and irritated, when Liz declared for everybody to hear that she was not his wife and that he hadn't the right to tell her who her friends should be. They then parted company for about a week until he sent her flowers with an apology, and she'd accepted.
But things were definitely still tense between them, which was why Liz had asked him if he'd like to go around Hogsmeade with her before he returned her to school, and to her great relief he'd accepted.
So why was her heart sinking?
Deciding to worry about things later, she finished with her plait and then scuttled over to him, kissing him on the ear.
"I appreciate this Lucius." He nodded vaguely, forcing her into silence as he led her through the maze that was Malfoy Manor. A carriage was called by Dobby, a house elf whom Liz was actually very fond of.
"Ms. Lizzie! It be very good seeing yous again!" He squeaked while they waited.
"And you Dobby!" She greeted cheerfully. It was funny how Dobby called her Lizzie, when most people called her either Liz or, as Lucius tended to do, Elizabeth. Grinning, she patted the little elf on the head, making him squeal with happiness. Lucius rolled his eyes, making Liz feel a little silly.
At last, the carriage arrived, allowing them to travel. She tried to engage Lucius in some lighthearted conversation, but he pretty much shut her out.
When they arrived in Hogsmeade, Liz was beginning to wonder why he'd agreed to come. Yet once they were out in public, he was very much the doting suitor.
Which just plain insulted Liz.
And thus they spent the leisurely day in Hogsmeade, playing the part of two people in love as they strolled through various shops. Liz tried to have fun, but as they walked up the path, she felt a horrible sense of foreboding, so it came as no real surprise to her when halfway there, Lucius stopped.
"Elizabeth, we need to talk." Liz sighed. She'd been waiting for this. He had been pulling away.
So why was her heart still aching?
"You know I love you." He started
"But you can't leave your wife for fifteen year old." She finished, her voice sounded a little high and shaky.
"No," He said, uncaring that he was crushing her heart, "because she owled me yesterday morning, we're going to have a child. Which mean I can't-"
"Be wasting time with me." She shot back, angry, heartbroken, and tired, she turned away.
"I understand Mr. Malfoy. We never happened. I'll go now, and don't worry, I'll burn your letters tonight." She stormed the rest of the way back to the castle leaving him behind. She was in tears by the time she reached the dormitories and flung herself on her bed sobbing, feeling her heart shatter.
It seemed her prediction of ending up in the heartbreak hotel had come true at last.
