When American witch, Aria De La Cour, begins her new job at the Ministry of Magic in England, her mentor is none other than dashing and seductive ex-dark wizard, Lucius Malfoy. The connection and bond that they form transcends even the most powerful...
The lovers stayed in the Astronomy Tower stroking each other's sensitive skin and holding each other until they heard the castle clock strike midnight. They had slowly gotten up and made their way silently back through the castle and back down towards Aria's room. Lucius again felt that thrill of excitement as he snuck around the dark and mysterious castle at night with the woman he loved. He felt like he was a teen back in school again, breaking the rules on any whim.
Aria didn't have to struggle much to convince him to stay with her that night. All it took was an innocent and softly spoken please and Lucius was hers for the night. He had internally scoffed at himself for being such a tender-hearted softy when it came to the young woman he held in his arms, but as he held her while she slept and heard her content, heavy breathing, he wouldn't have it any other way and soon he joined her in sleep as he breathed just as contentedly.
Aria awoke the next morning, fully rested and refreshed but with a slight disappointment that Lucius was not there beside her. She understood though. The castle was bustling with students and professors in the morning and it would be rather obvious if he were to have come out of her room. He must have either apparated or used the Floo back to his room early in the morning before she awoke. She rolled over in her bed and stretched, and she could smell his musky pine-like scent on the pillow and sheets and she closed her eyes briefly in bliss as she breathed it in. She eventually got up and checked her phone for the time and was slightly startled as she realized she only had 30 minutes before her appointment to meet James at the Ravenclaw common room entrance.
"Shit..." she muttered under her breath. She wouldn't have time to go down to get breakfast, thanks to Lucius' warm comforting presence, she must had slept straight through her alarm. She quickly changed into a tight-fitting black pencil skirt and matching black peplum top and over it she put a stylish olive-green blazer. She realized the color green might look like she was playing favoritism towards Slytherin, and in a way she supposed she subconsciously was. She laughed to herself as she put on her makeup highlighting her big green eyes which popped vibrantly against the color of her blazer. With ten minutes to spare, she grabbed a few of the shortbread cookies from Hufflepuff the day before and ate them quickly. Then she rushed out her door, walking as fast as she could in her black heels, and sped down the moving stairs towards the fifth floor where the entrance to Ravenclaw was.
She was glad to see her guide, James, hadn't arrived yet and so she was able to compose herself and catch her breath. Right on time, James arrived. He was a friendly looking middle-aged man, probably about Lucius' age, but unlike Lucius who looked nothing near his age, James really did look his age. His hair was a mousy brown streaked with grey and he wore spectacles which aged him further. He wore a blue sweater vest and grey pants and he looked like one of the students only older. He was exceptionally friendly, if not soft spoken though and Aria smiled at him warmly as he introduced himself.

"Hello Aria, I'm James. Welcome to Ravenclaw tower," he said politely as he nodded towards a grand wooden door with a knocker in the shape of an eagle.
