Lucius smiled down at her and accio-ed his book to continue reading. He shuffled back against the couch and made a foot rest pop out then leaned back with her curled up on his chest. After a while Lucius felt Hermione stir so he glanced down at her, he had made it a good third through his book. "Well good morning, do you feel a little better?" The blonde wizard asked and she looked up at him sleepily, rubbing cutely at her eyes with a yawn. Hermione nodded as she laid her head back down on his chest snuggling against him. In turn Lucius wrapped his arm further around her waist holding her close as she skimmed over the book he was reading. It was a book on potions.
"Interested in potions all of the sudden?" Hermione questioned with a small laugh. Lucius chuckled as well and shook his head.
"I've always been interested in potions, but this is to help a friend out with some extensive work on a potion for his shop. You actually know him, Severus Snape. I believe you saved him after the war." Lucius explained and Hermione nodded with a small sheepish smile.
"Yes, I did. It's good to hear that he is doing well." Hermione said then got up carefully. "Maybe we could talk more about this tomorrow, but I would much appreciate if I could go to sleep." Hermione admitted with a small blush and a yawn. ((I swear every time I type 'yawn' I yawn XD))
"Of course, let me escort you to your room." Lucius stood then offered his arm to her. Hermione smirked lightly and moved past his arm to nuzzle against his side. Lucius smiled, wrapping his arm around her waist. "Tippy, ready the guest suite." Lucius called out and Hermione smiled, even though she felt as if she is being a bother, at least Lucius seemed fine with it. He probably was happy to have some company here now. "Your room is across from mine so if you need anything at all, don't hesitate to come find me or call for Tippy, I just must ask you not to give her any clothes like your days at Hogwarts." Lucius explained with a small smirk. Hermione blushed and ducked her head in to hide her flushed cheeks.
"Those days are long over, Mr. Malf- I mean Lucius..." She corrected herself as he opened the door to her chambers. The room was adorned in emerald green, white and black. The room was lit with candles and there was a bath already drawn for her in the in-suite bathroom. Hermione turned to look at Lucius and smiled brightly at him. "Thank you, so much, Lucius." She told him and he smiled taking her hand in his, brushing his lips across the knuckles. Hermione smiled shyly as he let her hand go and bowed elegantly.
"Sleep well, Hermione." He bid her goodnight then excused himself from the room.
"Good night, Lucius." She replied before he closed the door. Hermione found a night gown on her bed and picked it up, going to the bathroom. She took a relaxing bath and sighed as she laid her head against the tub's side. When she was done she dressed in the clothes Lucius had left her with and slipped in the bed. Once she was situated in the bed she called for Tippy. "Tippy?" Hermione asked sheepishly.
"Yes? What can Tippy get for the Misses?" Tippy questioned smiling brightly. Hermione smiled back and gathered all of her clothes, the house elf had even laid out undergarments. She walked back to Tippy.
"When you get a chance, could you please wash these?" Hermione asked timidly. Tippy nodded enthusiastically before taking them from her.
"Of course does the Misses need anything else? Tippy will leave these on the dresser when they are done. But Master has some clothes for you for tomorrow." The little house elf explained.
"Alright Tippy, then you can just do those tomorrow, alright?" Hermione asked politely.
"Yes ma'am." And with a crack Tippy was gone. Hermione smiled to herself and decided to send a note to Lucius. She grabbed her wand and a piece of paper; she wrote a quick note then with a careful charm she folded it into a butterfly and sent it to find Lucius. Lucius was in the library when a paper butterfly landed on his book. He smiled and opened it with a tap of his wand. In a very neat and practiced scrawl it read:
Lucius, thank you for everything. I love the nightgown. ~H
Lucius took a piece of paper and quickly wrote back:
I used these when I went to Hogwarts. You may keep the dress if you would like. I hope you sleep well. \Lucius/
Lucius formed it into a phoenix and sent it. Hermione smiled as she read the note, then replied.
Thank you! Really? I'm surprised that you did, maybe you could teach me how to do a few more complicated forms. I hope you also sleep well. Hermione
