Chapter 7.
A/N! I got several emails asking me how old Sadie is, and just to clarify, she's 19.
Lucius and Sadie spent their first night alone sitting in the Malfoy's sitting room.
"Lucius, do you know why Vol-, I mean, the Dark Lord wanted you to take me in so bad?" she asked finally. Lucius looked up at her, a bit perplexed.
"Sadie, I am unable to tell you that, because I do not know myself. All I know is that the Dark Lord has plans for you, although he will not tell me what" he replied. Sadie looked into his cold gray eyes.
"I know that you know. You are his top advisor, he must have told you something" she replied. She was becoming desprite for the answers that she deserved.
"Sadie, if I knew I couldn't tell you. The Dark Lord works in secrecy, it won't even tell me" he told her. His eyes were intent on hers. She sighed deeply.
"I just wish I knew why all of these things are happening to me" she said after a while. Lucius stood up and put his hand on his shoulder.
"You deserve to know, but even if I did know I couldn't tell you" he told her again.
"I know" she said quietly. She was more focused on his hand that was still resting on her shoulder. He removed his hand, but she could still feel his weight on her shoulder.
"Would you like a drink?" he asked. She looked up at him.
"Er, yes, thank you" she said. He handed her a glass of fine, elf-made wine. He raised her glass, and she did the same.
"How well did you know my uncle?" she asked after a while.
"Honestly I didn't know him too well. I wasn't around him much, no offence but I personally didn't think he was a very trustworthy person" he said.
"Don't worry, I agree with you completely" she replied, smirking.
"So why were you living with him in the first place?" Lucius asked. Sadie sighed.
"The Dark Lord wanted my parents to join him, they were both very brilliant. They refused though, said they wanted no part in it. He sent a woman to kill them when I was about two. That's when I went to live with him, I don't really remember it that well" she said. "I wish I knew who had killed them". Lucius was silent for a moment.
"I honestly couldn't tell you" he said. This, of course, was a lie. Several glasses of wine later, they were both laughing loudly and joking.
"I think you've had too much" Sadie told Lucius, laughing quite loudly. She went to stand up, but nearly fell over. Lucius jumped up and caught her. His hand brushed against her thigh. She stood up quickly, and Lucius moved his hand, looking quite embarrased, but Sadie just laughed.
"Don't be so serious, it's fine" she told him. He laughed a bit too. Sadie poured herself another glass. Truth was, she was already quite tipsy, but she was having too much fun to stop.
"You really are a very interesting woman" Lucius told her, smiling.
"Really. How is that?" she asked.
"I really don't know. You just are" he replied. They both laughed.
"I'm really hungry, do you want anything?" Sadie asked, standing up.
"Don't worry, I'll get it" Lucius said. Sadie shrugged, and they both went into the kitchen. Lucius looked through the cabinets. Sadie leaned over to look into the refridgerator. Lucius looked over her shoulder. She could feel his breath on the back of her neck, and it gave her goosebumps. She looked up at him and smiled. He pulled her hair back out of her face. She stared into his eyes. She didn't know if was the wine that made her do it, but she found herself kissing him.
DUNDUNDUN! Weren't expecting that, were you? Keep in mind that they're both extremely drunk.
