As she makes her way back out into the garden, Draco runs up to her. "Hey, mionie! You find any good books?" He asks. She nods. "Sorry I was gone so long." She apologies. She looks into his eyes. They're just like his fathers.. but everything about him doesn't compare at all. Lucius is just.. better. She can't bear to break Draco's heart.. but she can't stand being without Lucius. Not now that she had him. Draco didn't even have to know. She felt as though she had fallen down a deep rabbit hole, or embedded herself into a thick web. When she arrived, she only planned to spend time with Draco. And now she was going to be claimed by his father. And she felt no remorse. The rest of the evening went by quickly, with Hermione only pretending to listen to Draco as she thought of Lucius. He was what she wanted. Not his son. "Hey. I don't feel great. I might just go back up to bed, if that's okay." Hermione says, lying through her teeth. "Oh. That's fine." Draco says, dissapointed. "I'll see you later, I guess." He stares at the ground. Hermione nods and walks the other way. To be honest, she wasn't sure why she had lied. But as she made her way up to her room, She passed the library door and was immediately sure why. She wanted to see him. And she couldn't bear being with Draco for any longer. When she went past her room, she didn't even turn to glance at the door. She knew where she was going. She wasn't sure how she knew where it was, but she knew he would be there. She stops at a door and knocks on it. Lucius's study. It had to be. And Hermione knew very well that when he wasn't in the library, sleeping, or eating dinner, Lucius was in his study. The door creaks open slowly to reveal Lucius, wearing a thin, half unbuttoned black shirt. He smiles broadly upon seeing her. "Granger. How good to see you again. It's only been.. about 2 hours, has it?" Lucius asks. Hermione wasn't sure, she hadn't been keeping track of the time. "I can't stand being without you. And I don't want to be with Draco. I want to be with you." Hermione says. Lucius smirks. "Well, come on in, then." He invites her into his study. Multiple books are lined up on his desk, along with quills, parchment and ink. She notices happily how organized it was. She feels his cold hand on her shoulder. "You really want me that badly.." he mutters. She nods. "I can't stay away from you. I was going to go to my room.. but I couldn't. I was drawn to this room. I don't know how I knew it was here." Hermione says, quietly. "It must have been fate that brought you here. Not just to my study, but to my manor. You were meant to arrive here today." Lucius says, smiling. "And fate must be on my side for once, hm?" He pulls her closer and grabs her hands. "Even so, it is too risky right now. What if someone were to walk in on us? No, it's much more sensible to wait until tonight. I can trust you to sneak down to the library without waking anyone up, correct?" Lucius asks. "I can appare, if that would be easier." Hermione replies. Lucius nods. "Good." He places his lips on hers and they kiss eachother. Hermione presses her body against his. "Lucius.. I need you." She whispers. "I know, my love." He responds, staring into her eyes. She knows he can read her mind. She doesn't care. "You're so beautiful..." he tells her. "You make me so aroused." She leans in and kisses him. "You talk too much." She responds. "Just fuck me." She forces their bodies together. He sighs. "You don't have to be vulgar, honey." He says. "Yes, I do." She responds. "Come on. Why should we wait?" She pleads. "Because, if we get caught, you're cheating on your boyfriend, and I'm cheating on my wife. That doesn't look good, does it?" He growls. Hermione grabs his hands. "Do you love Narcissa?" She asks. "Not anymore. I want you. I promise I do." He answers. "And I don't love Draco. Is it really that big of a deal, keeping us a secret? I want to be with you. Not him. Please, Lucius." The entire room is silent for a few seconds. "I will make arrangements to divorce my wife. But until its final, it's best that you stay with Draco, so things don't get suspicious. Understand?" Lucius says. Hermione nods sadly. "Hey. When it's all over, I can marry you, ok?" He says consolingly, placing his hand on her face. What did he just say? She hadn't even thought of marrying him. But it felt..right. "Okay." She agrees. "I suppose i'll.. go back to my room." She says, looking at the floor. He nods. "You should get some rest. You'll need your energy for what i'm going to do to you." He advises, smirking. She smiles and leaves, making her way back to her room and hopping on her bed, quickly falling asleep
