Calm Before the Storm
Chapter 12: Trauma
Olivia and Lucius sat down at the dining table and Lucius signaled for the house elf to serve dinner. The table was soon filled with delicious smelling food that made Olivia's mouth water. She smiled at the house elf and thanked him generously for the food. The poor house elf stared at her, confused as to why a witch was thanking him before Lucius knocked him in the side of the head, telling him to get lost.
"What was that for, Lucius?" Lucius looked at Olivia and cocked his eyebrow. "The house elf? That wasn't really necessary, was it?"
"Don't worry about him, love. Come on now, let's eat."
Olivia gave him a weak smile before picking up her fork and eating. Lucius watched her from across the table closely. Olivia caught his eye and her smile widened. "What?"
Lucius shook his head. "How was your summer?"
"It's been very interesting actually. James and Sirius have been good company."
She averted her eyes and continued eating her food. She knew her brother and Sirius were a touchy subject. Lucius stayed quiet for a minute just staring at her. "Black's been there a lot?"
"Of course, he lives with..." Olivia immediately shut her mouth. She knew she had messed up.
Lucius' eyes hardened. "He lives with you?"
"Well, yea. He moved in last week, but its not a big deal, Lucius, he just needed a place to stay."
Lucius stood up and took several deep breaths to calm himself down, running his hand through his long blond hair. Finally, after several paces back and forth along the table he sat back down looking much calmer. "I apologize, Olivia. I overreacted. I was just taken by surprise." He gave her the most convincing smile he could manage and was thankful when she gave him a small smile in return.
They finished eating over small talk and Lucius took her hand and led her into the lounge. They sat on the Persian rug before the fire and Lucius wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. "It's horrible not getting to see you everyday, love."
Olivia nodded in agreement. "I can't image school without you this year. You'll write me though, right?"
"Of course, love. Every day."
Olivia smiled and turned to face him, taking his hands in hers. "Good. It's still going to be so different though."
Lucius rubbed her knuckles with his fingers. "You'll be out of school in three more years though."
Olivia pouted, "That seems so long."
Lucius pulled her into his lap and brushed her hair behind her ears. "Its not that long, love. Will you be able to resist Black's charm with me away though?"
Olivia faltered. She thought she'd made it clear to him that her and Sirius were just friends. "What're you talking about, Lucius?"
"Come on, Olivia. It's painfully obvious the way he looks at you."
Olivia ran her hand down his cheek. "Let's not ruin the evening by talking about Sirius, ok? I just want to spend time with you."
Lucius smiled and gently kissed her lips. What started out innocently enough very quickly turned heated. Olivia straddled Lucius' lap and her hands twisted in his hair. He wrapped his arms around her waist and held her tightly against him so that she could feel his arousal. His hands wandered their way to the hem of her shirt and she froze. "Shhh. Come on, Olivia. Just relax."
She tried to listen but only halfway succeeded as Lucius' hands started winding their way up her shirt. She closed her eyes and started biting her lip. She was uncomfortable but didn't want to make him mad again. Finally, just as his hands reached the cloth of her bra she couldn't take it anymore. She quickly stood up and ran her hand through her hair nervously. Lucius was quick to follow her and was very quickly behind her with his arms around her. "Come on, love. Relax. Don't you trust me?"
Olivia drew a shaky breath. "Of course I trust you, Lucius."
"Do you?" He turned her around to face him. "Olivia, we're not going to see each other for several months at the soonest. I want to be with you. Do you not want that with me? Do you not want to give me something to remember you by while your away at Hogwarts?"
Olivia felt her eyes tearing up and was trying desperately to stop them. "I do trust you, Lucius, I do. I just...I don't feel like I'm ready."
Lucius let go of her and walked away. "Not ready. That's all I bloody hear from you, Olivia!"
"I'm sorry, Lucius. I..."
He cut her off as he strode back across the room and grabbed her hand. "Come up to my room with me, and just try, Olivia. Try for me. I love you."
Olivia felt the tears start to leak over and she shakingly shook her hand, allowing Lucius to lead her up the huge stairway. He stopped at a big oak door and ran his hand in weird motion over the surface causing it to pop open. Once inside he lit a fire in the massive fireplace before sitting on the bed, motioning Olivia over. She took a deep breath. She was scared, she couldn't deny that and she couldn't help but glance toward the door.
Lucius reached out and took her hand, pulling her closer to him and laughing a little. "Come on, Olivia, your going to have to relax." He gentle started kissing her again, taking it slow so he could try and make her comfortable again. Slowly, she started responding to his touch. Little by little, she started relaxing in his arms. He pulled her backward and they lay facing each other on Lucius' bed.
He brushed the hair out of her face and deepened their kisses. Slowly, his hand ran up her hip to the hem of her shirt. Olivia tried her best no to tense up as his hand slipped under her shirt, but as he found her bra, she couldn't help but try to pull away. Lucius quickly wrapped his arm around her waist and held her firm while his other hand unsnapped her bra. Olivia quickly hit panic mode. She tried harder to pull away but couldn't break Lucius' grip. She grabbed at his hand but he readjusted so that she couldn't get away.
"Lucius...what?"
Lucius looked her in the eye, not pausing with his administrations to her body, and smirked. "I told you before, Olivia. A man has needs, and I've had enough of you flaunting yourself in front of me and teasing me. You will give yourself to me."
At his words Olivia started thrashing, hoping to break his grip. She couldn't believe what was happening. Why hadn't she listened to everyone? There was a loud crash downstairs that caught Lucius' attention just long enough for Olivia to jerk her hand loose and grab her wand. She hit him with a stinging spell that made him yelp and she jerked her other hand free before shoving him off the bed. She jumped up and made a run for the door. Lucius, however, was faster and he grabbed her arm, spinning her around.
She quickly used the leg locker jinx on him and turned, sprinting out of the room and down the stairs. She felt the tears pouring down her cheeks and yelped as she felt a curse hit her between the shoulder blades. She fell hard, her face suffering multiple cuts from sliding against the floor. She felt Lucius' hand wrap around her arm and pull her back up followed by his fist coming in contact with her jaw. All of a sudden, Lucius froze. Olivia, shaking and confused, looked around only to find the little house elf watching from across the room, a large broken vase beside him. He motioned to her quickly and she didn't even hesitate before running over.
"Dobby wants to help Miss. Miss thanked Dobby." The little house elf held out a bowl of floo powder to her and motioned toward the fireplace.
Olivia took a handful of floo power before bending down and hugging Dobby tight. "Thank you so much. Dobby, was it?" Dobby shook his head enthusiastically. "I won't forget this, Dobby." She hesitated no longer as she threw the floo powder in the fireplace and shouted her address.
She had never been more thankful that their living room was clear as she stepped out of the fireplace in her house. She held still and listened. Everybody must have already went to their respective rooms for the night. She tip toed up the stairs, down the hall, and into her room before she collapsed on her bed, breaking down.

Sirius stopped in front of Olivia's room. He could've swore he heard someone, but Olivia wasn't due home for another hour. He started to continue on his path to the kitchen when he heard it again. Someone crying. He pecked on Olivia's door before going ahead and opening it. He gasped when he saw her. Curled up on her bed with cuts and bruises visible on several spots on her body. He ran over to her and tried to pull her into his arms but as soon as he touched her she reacted so violently that he had to take several steps backward to avoid her thrashing arms.
Once she retreated back into her fetal position, Sirius wrapped his arms around her before she could start thrashing again. "Olivia? Livey, what happened?" Realizing that it was Sirius that had her, she clung to him like her life depended on it and cried into his shoulder. He sat there with her, rocking her back and forth well into the night.
Finally she gained her composure enough to stop crying. Sirius reached his hand up and wiped her flushed and speckled face. She sniffed, "I need a shower." Sirius looked at her in concern and started to get up but was stopped by her small hand on his arm. "Please don't go. Wait for me here?"
Sirius mutely nodded as she gathered some clothes and left for the bathroom. While he was waiting for her to get back, his mind started wandering. What the hell had happened to her? All he knew for sure was that he was going to make someone pay and he was pretty sure that someone was Malfoy.
