After the news of her next assignment, the week seemed to go by in a flash. Aria and Lucius were both incredibly excited to be able to work together, and in fact it was the first time she had really seen Lucius excited about anything related to the Ministry, which made her even more happy for them both. Aria was also incredibly excited to be able to finally see Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was legend, even in America; the school was perhaps the most important Wizarding school in all the world. To be able to be there and handling such ancient and historically meaningful artifacts was just so mind-blowing.

Aria had decided to stay at Hogwarts in the offered accommodations that the Ministry said would be provided to her. She would have her own room and bathroom near the teachers' wing, the Ministry had told her. Lucius, Hermione, and the other two mentors, Neli and James, would also have their own rooms while on assignment, but theirs rooms would be located in their respective houses; it made Aria feel slightly left out, but she smirked to herself at the thought of sneaking off to Lucius' room in Slytherin and she got instantly aroused thinking of how naughty it all seemed. Like a schoolgirl sneaking out at night to see her secret boyfriend.

Lucius and Aria had discussed that while they would likely try to stay most nights at Hogwarts while there on assignment, they could Floo or apparate back to Malfoy Manor any time they would like if they needed to get away. Both of them knew their sexual appetites when it came to each other wouldn't allow them to be discrete for long, and they both realized they relished their privacy and their intimacy. However, Aria could tell Lucius was very much happily anticipating returning back to his alma mater.

That Sunday night, the night before they were to leave, Aria had quickly gone back to her flat to pack, yet again. She felt bad she had been neglecting her flat for so long...it didn't feel like home anymore...the Manor did. The flowers Lucius had gotten her were still beautifully preserved and she smiled at the sight of them. After packing as fast as a whirlwind, she quickly used the fireplace to Floo back to the Manor. She ended up back in the dining room fireplace upon her return and smiled at the sight waiting for her. The dining room table was filled with the most delicious foods imaginable. A whole roast chicken with plates of vegetables and breads and sauces. Two glasses of wine sat on the table waiting to be drunk. Lucius had clearly planned this to be a special meal, and she appreciated it so much.

"This is amazing," Aria said aloud to herself.

Lucius happened to walk back in at that moment, as he had heard her arrive and he smiled softly at her from across the room.

"I wanted us to have a nice meal together before our big project...in celebration," he said bringing over the wine glasses. He handed one to her while keeping the other one. "Cheers...to us. Ever since I met you, I have never felt more exhilarated towards life and its prospects" he said proudly.

"Cheers," she smiled brightly back at him as she took a long sip of the delicious red wine.

As they sat down to eat dinner Aria smiled at her lover across the table. His eyes were bright with excitement and she loved how crystal grey his eyes were as they shined in the candlelight.
