Chapter 4: Potters Party.

Everyone was having a good time an laughing Phoenix needing some air left Lucius talking with Arthur an went out side with her glass of wine an enjoyed the view.

"You'd cry when i would cry in my sleep,when i had nightmares you'd hold an sooth 'd watch me when ever you think i wasn't looking, an in my sleep or

when you thought i was asleep, an you've told me you love me three hundred times an I've spoken it to you once when you were asleep.I noticed what i thought was

most important your love for me,I've never had love so i never knew what to do with someone who loved me or how to show love, for that I'm sorry." Severus said

walking to her.

"I thought i had dreamed that." She whispered not looking to him.

"I should warned you Phoenix i plan on having Lucius back," Phoenix turned to him dropping her glass. "an you as well." He smiled leaving her.

"So what was the point of this game?" Lucius asked.

"Well they'd close there eyes an see themselfs in a boat fifty years from now-" Draco started.

"Oh i loved that game." Ginny smiled turning to them. "Then one of use would tell them that there was one other person there in the boat with them this was the one

person they couldn't live with out,then they'd tell use who they saw. I always saw Harry." she smiled.

"An Phoenix?" Severus asked walking up to them.

"She use to like the game too, she would see you." Ginny said pointing to Severus.

"You said use to?" Lucius questioned.

"Yeah one day we played an when her turned came she closed her eyes when she opened them it was like her world ended she stud up an said it was a stupid game

an she wasn't wasting her time playing it." Hermione sighted.

"What did she see?" Draco asked.

"I don't know but a month later She got dumped." Hermione told them.

"Hey Nixs how about a song?" Harry yelled across the room as she came back inside.

"Yeah sing for us!" voices called out an she handed her new glass to Albus as Hadgrid picked her up an placed her on the bar so everyone could see her.

"Aright I'll sing one of my favorites." She smiled

"Alright everyone before we say good bye I've planed a horse an carriage ride." Harry announced.

"A winter wonder ride." Hermione smiled.

"Right so everyone follow me grabbed your coats." Harry said leading them out. "Phoenix,Lucius over here. I've got you two a privet one." He smiled leaving them.

"What's wrong love?" Lucius asked her once they were seated an riding off.

"Severus said he wants you back, that he want us both back." She told him. "I really think I'm falling in love with you i couldn't stand having my heart broken again."

"No ones going to brake your heart again love." Lucius told her pulling her into his arms.

Phoenix merely held on to him as he tried to sooth her. Mean while over with are other couple.

"So did you ever get your answer Severus dose the child still love you?" Narcissa asked with a laugh.

"Who would of thought you would be jealous of a young women, you actually loved him didn't you?" He asked turning to her. "Oh how it must sting to know he never saw you as anything more then a business deal, that a mere girl has stolen the one thing you could not, the great Lucius Malfoys heart." He sneered.

"An what about you do you think I'm blind, you stare at them in envy, you wish you could have what they have someone openly showing there love for you!" She growled.

"I don't think we're going to work out." He hissed turning from her.

"My thought as well." She growled running from the carriage when it stopped.

"Mother?" Draco called after her.

"Well not a joyful ride Severus?" Lucius asked with a grin.

"You were married to her you know how she is." Severus shrugged stepping from the carriage.

"All to well." He laughed an everyone froze as Phoenix smacked his arm his eyes going wide as he stared at her angry face.

"That wasn't funny!" She told him going after her. "Are you okay?"

Narcissa turned, leave it to a Gryffindor to come check on a person who tore her world apart. "Do you have any idea how much he loves you?"

Phoenix stared at her confused at to which 'he' she was referring to.

"I would have given anything to have him look at me the way he dose you, married all those years an i never seen him so full of life like he is when he looks in your eyes.I wish someone loved me that deep." She sighted.

"Severus-"

"Severus doesn't know how to love, not really." She sighted looking passed Phoenix as Lucius walked up to them.

"You hit me." Lucius said rubbing his arm.

"That was rude what you said." She said feeling uneasy as everyone walked to them.

"I'm sorry then." He smiled at her an turned as the room gasped. "Oh don't think I'm going soft mark my word anyone else try that an there meet there end by my wand!" He told them as they laughed.

"OH yeah you're still bad father." Draco snickered.

"Dance with me love." Lucius smiled pulling her to him.

"I'm sorry Lucius that i hit you." She told him.

"That's alright my dear you'll pay for it later." He smiled winking at her when she gasped.

"Promise, promise." She giggled resting her head on his chest.

"Thank you all for coming have a happy Christmas." Harry waved as everyone was leaving.

"Great party Harry." Draco smiled at him.

"Very amusing." Lucius smiled holding Phoenix's hand.

"Happy Christmas Harry." Phoenix said giving him a kiss on his cheek.

"Run along." Harry grinned at her.

Once at the manor Lucius took her hand an headed up to his room. "You'll excuse us but i must punish a little witch for daring to hit me." He smiled as her cheeks turned red.

"You're not really going to punish me are you?" She asked getting undressed.

"Oh yes i am dear come her." he grinned sitting on the bed.

"Lucius-"

"No, no sweet talking your way out of this." He told her grabbing her hand an pulling her on to his lap. "Kiss me."

Smiling she kissed him.

"Again an deeper this time."

Giggling she did as she was told.

"Tell me you're sorry."

"I'm sorry Lucius." She pouted. "Please for give me love."

Lucius froze an stared at her.

"Lucius?" she asked holding his face.

"Did you mean that, do you love me?" Lucius asked holding her closer.

"I never thought i would love anyone as i did Severus but i do Lucius, i love you." She smiled kissing him.

"That is the best gift you could have given me love." He smiled as a tear slipped from his eyes as he laid her down an showed her how much he loved her.
