Pairing: Lucius Malfoy/Hermione Granger (Past Lucius Malfoy/Narcissa Malfoy)
Rating: T
Narcissa Black strolled past the queue of sorry souls waiting to congratulate her ex-husband and the new Mrs Malfoy. Hermione was every bit the luminous bride, swathed in silk and pearls, with a white peacock feather in her hair from Lucius' prized pea-brained pets.
Ignoring Lucius' trophy wife, Narcissa grabbed the man by the arm and hissed, "You will end this charade at once!" He raised one pale brow and replied, "There was a point in time when I would have done anything for you, but not anymore."
The words ricocheted through her mind, the meaning clear.
This was real.
