I hear a low cackle.

Ah great.

"Malfoy" I sneer as I slowly turn around.

I cannot believe that my life is just this crap, as I begin to think things cannot get any worse. BOOM. A Malfoy pops up and crushes all you're hopes.

"What do you want?" I ask trying to sound bored.

"Hmmmm, now that is a good question" he licks his lips and smirks.

Urgh.

"Eat Shit" I say, and begin to walk away from him.

He was looking at me with his hungry eyes again.

Gross!

Gross!

Gross!

Gross!

"Mudblood" he yells after me.

I spin around fast and accidentally whip myself in the eye with my hair.

Damn, that hurt.

"What?" I hiss impatiently.

"Now, now Granger, manners cost nothing you know" he mocks.

"Ha" I yelp, "Then you should be able to afford some, as if you even would know what manners are, you arrogant sod"

"That's what I like about you, your spark, you are awfully prettily when you are angry you know, for a mudblood that is"

"Piss off"

"And with no Severus here to save you, tut, tut, tut" he begins to walk closer.

I swear if he does get any closer I will make sure he will regret it, ill make sure any future women he has will regret it too.

"Where is Severus?" he stops walking and casually asks.

"And I'd tell you why?" I glare at him sarcastically.

"You do love him don't you" he states, I have the biggest suspicion he is taking the piss.

"What?" I ask through gritted teeth, though I heard him perfectly.

"It would explain why you were able to do what you did so…perfectly" he simply states.

I can't help but be a little curious as to what he is telling me.

"Strictly speaking, it must have been one powerful emotion to have achieved reversing the curse" Lucius said referring to the nights previous events.

"So?" I ask subtly, though I am dying to find out as much as I can on this subject.

Hmmmm, maybe I could get a book on it…

"So" Lucius breaks my train of thought, "you must love him to have been able to do that, Love conquers evil and all that bullshit" he smirks.

"It's none of your business" I say slowly and begin to walk away again.

"Oh, but I think it is" he snaps, and suddenly I feel a tug at my stomach.

I look back and notice Lucius is using his wand to drag me towards him.

I collapse to the floor.

"See there is something I want and without you I cannot have that" he finally manages to have me at his feet.

I look up at him angrily.

I'm not in fact angry, more like crapping myself, but I don't want Lucius to see that.

"And what is it you want?" I growl at him.

He bends close to the ground where I am situated and whispers softly in my ear…

"Money, I have Granger, but Severus has something that is extremely valuable to me, I want it and you" he bends down to look me straight in the eyes, "are the only way of ensuring I get what I want"

With that he straightens back up.

I can still smell his breath in the air.

"And I always get what I want" he sneers as he pulls me to my feet.

"Now" he demands, "Take me to Severus".

I look at him for a moment.

I am completely lost for things to do.

I have no idea where Severus is.

Ah Crap.

Right- think, think, think.

I take a deep breath and with Lucius gripping my arm tightly, I apparate us both to the first place I can think of.
