Chapter 8.
Sadie pulled herself away from Lucius quickly. She did not know what had came over her.
"Sorry...I don't know why I did that" she said, looking down. She was turning red. Lucius laughed, and tipped her chin up so that he was looking into her eyes.
"Don't worry about it. I won't say anything if you don't" he smirked, and kissed her. She was taken aback, she had not expected this kind of reaction from him. She pushed him away.
"Lucius, I told you I don't know what made me do that. It was a mistake, and it shouldn't go any farther than that. You're married" she reminded him. He smirked.
"I know, but my wife isn't here" he said. She pushed him away from her.
"You're drunk" she said.
"So are you" he replied.
"Maybe so, but I still know that this is wrong" she replied. She was getting scared. She had not meant to kiss him, and she didn't think this would have happened. She was shaking. Lucius walked toward her until she backed into a wall.
"I know about you and Draco, so why are you acting like you're afraid?" he whispered in her ear.
"I'm not afraid, but you're married" she repeated.
"Don't act like a child Sadie. I know you want this, so stop fighting" he said. She did want it, but she knew how wrong it was. Drunk or not, she still had some self respect.
"I'm not acting like a child. I may want it but I know it's wrong, and so do you" she said. He was staring into her eyes so deeply it felt as if he were trying to see into her soul. She was still shaking. She could feel his breath on her, and she noticed how steady he was. Then it occured to her, what if he really wasn't drunk. She tried to push him away from her, but he wouldn't move.
"Lucius, move" she said sternly.
"No" he whispered in her ear. She knew she was unable to fight him. Ah, but to you really want to? a voice in the back of her mind said. Of course she did. It might be wrong, but no one would ever find out...the voice insisted. Sadie closed her eyes, trying to make everything go away. But she knew it wouldn't. She looked at Lucius again.
"I can't. I'm sorry, but this is wrong" she said softly. He looked at her.
"Sadie, no one would have to know" he said, running his hand down her face.
"No, but I would. And it's wrong" she said. "Please, let me by". Lucius looked at her one last time, then moved. She hurried past him and ran up to her room. She locked the door, and sat on her bed. She felt like crying. Lucius knocked on her door. When she didn't reply, he let himself in.
"Sadie I'm sorry. I shouldn't have tried to force you into anything" he said.
"But why?" she asked. It was more of a plead.
"You're an attractive girl" he said simply. Sadie looked at him.
"Tell me the real reason the Dark Lord sent me to live here" she demanded. He looked at her; she had successfully caught him off guard.
"The Dark Lord...has never wanted a close companion. When you were thirteen years old, your uncle promised the Dark Lord that he could have you in repay for sparing his life" Lucius admitted. Sadie looked at him, her eyes wide open.
"But...what does he want with me?" she asked.
"I don't even know that. But all I know is that there's something special about you, and the Dark Lord can see that. So can I" he said. Sadie looked purely terrified. And she was too. Lucius grasped her hand.
"I'm sorry" he repeated. He kissed her, and left, leaving Sadie more confused and scared than she ever had been before.
