The night seemed to go by in a blur of passion and happiness. Both Aria and Lucius felt as if they were on a high; a high that was similar to the night they had drank each others' blood and a high that transcended all others because it was a feeling that came from the very depths of their souls and connected as one. After everything they had been through, this was the light that had been at the end of their tunnel. Throughout the night, after their romantic evening down in the grove of the Manor Gardens, Lucius and Aria had slept on and off, waking every few hours and making love in the silent and still darkness of their room. Each time more and more passionate and all consuming, however despite waking up multiple times through the night, both awoke the next morning well rested and feeling light as air.

Aria had awoken, and instantly knew Lucius himself had been awake as his breathing wasn't the type of deep breath one has when asleep. However when Aria looked over and up at her new fiancé she saw his face still held the hint of the smile that now seemed to be permanently engrained on his lips. For the first time in his life, Lucius Malfoy was a happy man. To anyone besides Aria herself, the sight of a natural smile upon the face of the head of the Malfoy family would have been shocking.

Without looking Lucius could sense that Aria was awake, which made his slight smile broaden even wider on his peaceful looking face. His platinum hair fanned out across his silk pillow looking like it shimmered in the morning light and his silver-grey eyes shined like diamonds. The constant darkness within him was practically gone, it so appeared.

"Good morning my beautiful girl," he said as he turned to his left side so he could look upon his future bride.

She smiled at him and closed her eyes in pleasure as his gorgeous hand came up to stroke her soft cheek. She could stay in bed with him forever and be completely content.

"I was thinking...." he said growing more serious.

"Oh?" Aria said her green eyes fluttering open and looking at his expression, wondering what he had in mind.

"I want to introduce you to my Father..." Lucius said warily. She could tell he even seemed uncertain with himself, but remained determined. There was one thing that Aria knew however, and that was that his Father, Abraxas Malfoy, had been dead for decades.

Aria furrowed her brows and Lucius instantly knew what she was thinking.

"I know what you are going to say...he is dead so how can you possibly meet him? Well, he does have a grand portrait here in this house and although it is not the real man himself, I'd like to think there is a bit left of him within that portrait to know and understand.... Although he didn't have much of a soul or personality to begin with. I mean look what I turned out to be," Lucius said as he slightly rolled his eyes.

Aria put her hand up to stroke his cheek. "I would love to meet your father, Lucius. Although I am not too sure he will like meeting me...I still want to meet him..." she slightly smiled. "As for the other thing...you have more of a soul than anyone I have ever known. You turned out to be the only man made for me, and that is everything to me. You are the greatest man I have ever known."

Lucius never knew if he would get used to being loved as much as Aria loved him. He still had one foot slightly in his dark past, and could sometimes only think about himself as the man he used to be. He knew he had grown to be a different man, especially with the influence of Aria in his life, but he truly never knew if he wouldn't always see himself as a soul possessed by darkness.
