Chapter Sixteen – The Mysterious Meeting of Windle and Malfoy

"I don't know," Jack replied bluntly which caused the two girls in the group to giggle and his best friend to shake his head in disappointment. "What? Really, Luc, I don't know."

"I just expected you to answer truthfully," Lucius shrugged which caused both girls to laugh again. "This is 'truth or dare'."

"Give him a break," Darlene teased as she leaned against Jack's stiff shoulder. "Maybe he honestly doesn't remember."

"He remembers," Lucius said in a defiant tone. "He used to describe it to me. In perfect detail, mind you."

Darlene scrunched up her brow before pulling away from Jack. "Okay, now I want to know."

Jack muttered profanities under his breath. This only caused Lucius to smirk in triumph, "I told, Cissy."

Narcissa bit her lip in order to keep her laughter down, "He did."

"Well, your first kiss was Darlene," Jack replied angrily causing the girl beside him to blush. "And you were both playing house."

Lucius shrugged, "I still told her."

"It was you're question," Darlene said angrily, "So why can't I know who your first kiss was?"

"Because she was pure evil and it was under bloody mistletoe," Jack groaned, "And yes, I thought it was awesome. She was two years older than me! What was I suppose to think!"

"Rather die," Lucius suggested as Narcissa busted into a fit of giggles.

"To let you know, Narcissa," Jack hissed, "He kissed her, too."

"But I was there," Narcissa laughed, "And I was the one who dared him to."

"Okay," Darlene snapped, folding her arms over her chest, "Who did you kiss? Because Lucius knows and so does Cissy."

Jack looked at her before pulling the grass up from the ground, "It was Bellatrix! Okay. Are you all happy?"

All three broke into giggles as Jack sulked in his defeated position. Darlene hugged his shoulders before kissing his cheek gently.

"Bellatrix Black," she whimpered, "I'm glad you've developed some taste."

Jack frowned at his girlfriend, "Says you."

Darlene smacked him playfully, "Stop sulking, it's your turn."

Jack smiled before glaring at Lucius, "Narcissa, truth or dare?"

Narcissa stopped her fit of giggles and looked over at Jack's angry glare, "Dare."

Jack stared at her and smiled, "Tonight in the common room you are to kiss Lucius."

Narcissa rolled her eyes, "Do that already."

"No," Jack complained, "A good healthy snog in front of Miss Windle."

Darlene laughed loudly and Lucius glared at his best friend.

"Do you want her to kill me and Cissy?"

"I'm going to do it," Narcissa replied bluntly, "And it will be one to remember, but you have to tell me what her face looks like."

Darlene stopped laughing, "I will gladly tell you what she looks like. I can already see her clenched fist and quivering lips. Oh, this is going to be funny."

"Narcissa," Lucius spoke firmly, "It's your turn."

Narcissa frowned at how serious one dare could make him. "Don't be a baby, Lucius. You know you want to get her back for everything she's done to us."

Lucius nodded before begging her to continue. She nodded and turned to Darlene, "Truth or dare?"

Darlene bit her lip, "Um . . . truth."

Narcissa sighed angrily, "You're no fun . . . do you know that?"

Darlene shrugged, "I do try."

Narcissa rolled her blue eyes before letting out another sigh, "Okay, I think I have one."

Darlene sat up and waited patiently for Narcissa to ask her question.

"We once made list of the boys in school we'd ever consider dating," Narcissa stated, causing the girl to frown, "Who was on the top of yours?"

"That's not fair," Darlene hissed as she scooted away from Jack.

Jack lifted an eyebrow, "Okay, now I'm interested."

"It was something silly we did in our third year," Darlene complained, "I mean Quinton was Narcissa's first choice."

Narcissa looked over to Lucius and shrugged, "You knew."

"Of course I knew," Lucius snorted.

Darlene frowned before mumbling a small name.

"What was that?"

"I said Gilderoy Lockhart," Darlene gagged out, only t0 be met with fits of laughter.

"Oh, Merlin," Lucius choked out, "Didn't know you like that sort of thing."

"I thought he was decent looking," Darlene defended.

"I bet you did," Jack teased as he wiped his eyes. "That is the greatest thing I've ever heard. I think you're the one with decent taste now."

Darlene snorted before looking over to Lucius, "Truth or dare, Malfoy?"

Lucius stopped his chuckling before staring up into the sky, "I'm going to say dare, just to make you happy."

Darlene smiled, "Good, because instead of the common room tonight, I want you to come up to the girls' dormitory and snog Narcissa good and proper . . . in front of the whole Slytherin female body."

Lucius rolled his eyes before staring at Narcissa's face. She had turned bright pink and this made Lucius laughed, "Will do."

Darlene clapped her hands together before Jack grumbled at her, "How am I supposed to see this?"

"I'll tell you all about it," Darlene smiled.

Jack nodded in defeat before resting his back against the cool grass, "We should go study now, Luc."

"Later," Lucius waved off as he looked back up into the sky.

Jack sat up angrily, "Lucius Malfoy, you promise to help me with stupid Transfiguration!"

Lucius looked back at his friend, "Whatever."

Jack kissed Darlene gently on the lips, "We'll see you later."

Darlene nodded before watching Lucius kiss Narcissa's bottom lip. Both boys walked back to the castle.

"Stupid NEWTS, I can't wait until they're over," Darlene snorted as she looked over at Narcissa's pouting face. She took in a deep breath, "I take it back. I never want NEWTS to happen."

Narcissa nodded in agreement as she started to pick at the grass below her, "I can't believe it's almost over."

Darlene frowned, "Lucius will still live at your house."

"Maybe not," Narcissa complained, "The Ministry hired him already and he's thinking of getting his own place. They already gave him two months worth of paycheck."

"That desperate to grab him," Darlene laughed, "Well then you'll just have to go visit him there as much as possible."

"Except I'll be in school," Narcissa growled, "I don't even know if letters will be enough for me."

Darlene shrugged, "I know they won't be for me."

"How can you be so calm about Jack leaving?" Narcissa snapped.

"He's working at the Prophet," Darlene smiled, "He's going to be an editor . . . my mother got him the job. He said he was buying an apartment with a friend."

"Must be Lucius," Narcissa suggested as she looked up at the blue sky.

"We'll see them when we go to Hogsmade," Darlene sighed, "And we'll go on dates there."

"I'm just so use to having him to myself now," Narcissa grumbled as she laid her back against the grass. "I had all summer with him and all school year."

"I don't know, Cissy," Darlene replied as she leaned against the grass as well. "I'm just praying Jack doesn't forget about me."

"Lucius won't forget about me," Narcissa pouted, "I'm just afraid of everyone coming after him.

Darlene frowned, "He'll be fine."

"That's what everyone says," Narcissa said sadly, "But he isn't as strong as you all believe."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Jack, I said I'd help you," Lucius groaned, "So can we please get to work."

Jack rolled his eyes, "Just thought you'd like to see apartments in the area. We are almost graduated. I start work the day after school ends."

Lucius groaned before grabbing the paper from his friend, "It has decent price. I'm not made of money anymore."

"Either am I," Jack agreed, "We can find something. We'll just split everything fifty-fifty. No harm done. Simple as that."

Lucius nodded before leaning back in his chair, "I like this one."

"The one right beside the Ministry," Jack smiled as he pulled the paper back.

"Well figuring it's the cheapest," Lucius shrugged, "And you had blinking arrows pointing to it, I say I like it."

"Great, cause I already sent an owl," Jack replied happily. "We can go visit it next Hogsmade trip. Just pop over there in no time. Back before McGonagall even looks are way."

"Sounds fine," Lucius smirked as he dropped the paper. "Now can we please get back to work?"

"Why are you so eager to do Transfiguration?" Jack pouted, "It's no fun."

Lucius shrugged, "Because I don't want you asking me right before the test."

"I'd remember easier that way," Jack laughed, "But in all seriousness I had to get away from Darlene."

"She's still following you around," Lucius complained as he opened his Advance Transfiguration book.

"No," Jack mumbled as he started digging through his pockets, "I just had to ask your opinion on something."

Lucius watched as Jack threw a pale blue box over in his direction. He caught it easily and held it loosely in his hand, "What is this?"

"Just open it, Luc."

Lucius did as he was told and opened the pale blue box. Inside the small box was a pearl cut diamond ring with a silver band.

"Um . . . Jack, I'm sorry, but I love Cissy."

Jack rolled his eyes, "Sod off, Malfoy."

"Why do you have an engagement ring?" Lucius asked with a laugh before his face fell, "Oh, Merlin."

"What do you think?" Jack asked swiftly as he leaned over the table to look at the ring.

"You're giving this to Darlene," Lucius stated as he pulled the ring out to study it.

"I love her," Jack replied lightly, "She's my life."

"But she'll be in school next year," Lucius complained as he put the ring back in place.

"I know that, Luc," Jack groaned as he grabbed the box, "But I need her. I want to know that she's going to mine."

"I can't believe this," Lucius said as he placed his elbows on the table, "You know this is a huge step. This is saying forever and for always."

"I'm going to love her forever and for always," Jack replied bluntly, "I know hate marriage, but got to understand."

"I know she'll say yes," Lucius muttered swiftly as he grabbed the box once again. He opened it to stare at the menacing ring.

"You think so," Jack said nervously, "I don't. We haven't talked about it."

"She'll say yes," Lucius shrugged, "She loves you. It's obvious."

Jack took in a deep breath, "I'm going to ask her on the last day of school."

"Merlin," Lucius groaned as he tossed the box towards Jack.

"Okay, I need you to be happy for me," Jack complained. "I don't understand why you're so angry. I thought for sure that you and Narcissa were ready to be hitched."

Jack watched as Lucius lost all the color in his face, "Merlin, Lucius, you look like I just used an Unforgivable on you."

Lucius shook his head, "I just don't like it."

"But you love Narcissa," Jack replied as he lifted a brown eyebrow. "You're already committed to her."

"I just hate the concept of marriage," Lucius groaned, "You wouldn't understand."

"I know that you aren't your father," Jack snorted, "It's not like you'd ever hurt Cissy."

"I'm not getting married," Lucius snapped, "I hate it. It ruins everyone."

"I don't understand," Jack complained, "Narcissa's your life. You two are one person. How could you not marry her? You know she wants to marry you."

"I know," Lucius sighed, "But how can I know that I won't be my father."

"You won't be," Jack complained. "We both know this."

Lucius continued to be silent as he looked at the pale blue box in Jack's hand.

Narcissa giggled nervously as Lucius kissed the bottom of her chin. He brushed his smooth lips up to the edge of her ear, "Are you nervous?"

His amused whisper caused her to frown and push him slightly away from her, "It's the girls' dormitory. Slughorn will pitch a fit."

Lucius shrugged, "I'm kind of excited."

"Exciting to see all the girls who are gaga over you freak out?" Narcissa complained.

"Mm-hmm," Lucius sounded as he kissed her closed eyelid.

"I'm just glad Mythic will get to see," Narcissa breathed out as she pulled his face down so there lips could meet. "She's getting on my last nerve."

"What is she doing now, dear?" Lucius whispered against her lips.

Narcissa pecked his full lips quickly before scooting away from him, "She keeps writing me nasty letters."

Lucius shrugged before kissing her forehead, "Mythica will be Mythica."

"She just needs to realize that you'll never be hers again," Narcissa pouted as she watched Lucius remove himself from his seat.

"You'll just have to show her that you've won," Lucius stated as he stretched his arms over his head. "I'll see you in a few minutes."

He walked away with a perfect smirk on his warm lips. She shivered as she looked towards the stairs leading to the girls' dormitory. She slid off the bench beside the window and began her long walk up the dormitory stairs.

She wasn't sure what this was going to look like. Was Lucius just going to rush into her room and kiss the living daylights out of her? Or was he going to call for her at the bottom of the stairs?

"I can't do this," she mumbled as she entered her dormitory room and shut the door behind her.

Darlene was sitting on her bed with a smile upon her face, which Narcissa promptly ignored. Instead the blond hair girl moved to her dresser and slipped on her warm pajamas.

"Nervous?" Darlene asked as she leaned against her pillow.

Narcissa shook her head as she pulled out her brush and began to pull it through her hair.

"You're lying," Darlene teased as she sat back up. Darlene could tell she was anxious.

"Lucius isn't backing out," Narcissa pouted, "He'll be here any minute."

"Then I have to get everybody," Darlene replied happily as she jumped off her bed and pulled open the door. "What are you doing here, Lucius?!"

Her voice sounded false as Lucius stood helplessly at the doorway. Narcissa watched as every door in the hallway slammed open and all eyes were on Lucius. She stared as a few girls giggled at a boy in the girls' dormitory.

"Lucius?" Narcissa called slowly as she walked into the hallway to watch all eyes on her.

"This is the girls' dormitory, Lucius," Mythica hissed just as Narcissa made it into Lucius's arms.

"Yes, well," Lucius stammered before looking at Narcissa. His eyes were smoldering and they made her shiver. She enjoyed this look on him. Suddenly his head snapped towards her and their lips clashed together.

Narcissa was vaguely aware of a few giggles, a couple of wolf whistles, and one long gag, but all of this was forgotten. Lucius's lips were moving quickly against hers and she couldn't concentrate on anything else.

Just as soon as it began, Lucius pulled away. He kept Narcissa in his arms as she began to steady herself.

"I'm telling Slughorn," Mythica grumbled as she stormed pass them.

Lucius chuckled softly before giving Narcissa a gentle kiss. "I'll see you in the morning."

His arms left her waist and he traveled back down the hall and down the stairs. Narcissa blushed as he left and turned back to Darlene.

"Better than I thought," Darlene winked as Narcissa ran back into the dorm room.

"Merlin," Narcissa mumbled as she fell onto her pillow. "Mythica's going to get us in trouble."

"Yes, well," Darlene sighed, "Who really cares. Should've seen her face. It was so disgusted."

Narcissa chuckled, "I could hear her gag."

"Her chin fell against the floor and her eyes flew out of their sockets."

Narcissa chuckled once again, "Was a decent kiss."

"Looked more than decent," Darlene grumbled before laughing loudly. "Went on forever."

"It felt really short," Narcissa complained as Darlene broke into a fit of giggles.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Weeks flowed by since the incident in the girls' dormitory. It was now stuff of legend. Narcissa couldn't go anywhere in the castle without someone talking about it. And Lucius was now marked as the king of the school. Being able to march up into the girls' dormitory to snog his girlfriend until she was breathless. Though it wasn't all good.

Of course Mythica told . . . why wouldn't she? Slughorn spoke directly to Dumbledore, who sent Lucius to his office. Lucius laughed as he told everyone about it. Dumbledore wasn't upset at all, only shocked. McGonagall was outraged and placed spells on both stairwells. No longer could a boy go into the girls' dormitory and no girl could go to the boys'. This only made the fame of Lucius and Narcissa infamous.

And only one person was upset.

Mythica Windle walked down the small street of Hogsmade with her nose in the air. She paused against one of the buildings and pulled out a small cigarette from her pocket. She lit it against her fingers and gave it an anger puff.

She couldn't get the image out of her head. Lucius's perfectly smooth lips touching Narcissa's greasy, chapped, flaky ones. She gagged loudly before taking another dip breath of her smoke.

"Just the girl I wanted to see," a cold voice stated, causing Mythica to jump and turn to face a familiar face.

"Mr. Malfoy?" She asked nervously as she stumbled backwards.

"You know that's a disgusting habit," Abraxas stated as Mythica glared at him.

"Sod off," she mumbled before shoving the cigarette back into her mouth.

"Is that what you really want?" He whispered, causing the girl to shiver.

"What are you getting at?" Mythica hissed as she pressed her back against the building behind her.

"We want the same thing," Abraxas glared as he stared at the girl. "I don't like you."

"Same," Mythica replied coldly.

"But I like you more than Miss Black."

Mythica groaned before kicking a small rock beside her food. Abraxas smiled coldly at her before folding his arms against his chest.

"You want her gone as well." Abraxas stated as he watched her eyes widen.

"Mythica Windle, my son will be all yours if you help me with one tiny favor," Abraxas said with a disgusting smirk on his face.

"And Narcissa will be gone," Mythica replied as she stepped away from the wall.

"Never to see Lucius again," Abraxas cooed as Mythica's cigarette fell from her fingers.

"Than yes," She laughed quickly, "I'll do anything."

"Good," Abraxas smiled before leading Mythica away.

A/N: I know sometimes I hate me as well. I'm sorry but it's going to get ugly . . . but don't worry we all know Cissy ends up with Lucius. The next couple parts I knew were going to happen before the beginning so sorry again.

Thank you for all of your reviews. I hope to receive a few before the next chapter. Love you all!
