Afflictions Of The Heart

Black Amethyst

The two slept through the night impossibly intertwined in each others embrace. Ivy was the first to wake, she rolled over and pressed her face into Lucius's chest groaning as her head pounded. She couldn't remember much of the night before and wasn't even sure how she got back to the manor let alone in bed with Lucius again. Lucius stirred and placed his hand gently on the back of her head stroking it with his thumb, "that bad huh?" he chuckled with a deep sleep filled voice. "Mhm" she groaned.

"Suits you right, do you have any idea how late you were out and that you apparated while drunk!?" he scolded lightly. Ivy's eyes widened, apparating while drunk was the equivalent to driving drunk in the muggle world. "I.....I......I...." she began to panic. "Wand?" he asked. "What?" she asked. "Your wand Ivy. I am going to erase the apparition spell off your wand and move it to mine so if the ministry does an inquiry it will show that you apparated with me!" he said sternly.

She pushed herself out of the comfort of her bed her head spun terribly she looked at her clothes strewn into a pile on the floor her wand laid atop of her pants. She grabbed it and handed it to Lucius who was now sitting up in her bed. He began to mutter a bunch of incantations and then looked over at Ivy, "Go get my cane from my room so I can transfer the spell over to my wand." he said. Ivy walked out of the room and walked into Lucius's bedroom and found his cane and hurried back into her room.

She handed the cane to Lucius and he hastily pulled his wand from the base of his cane and sat it on his lap. He muttered a few inaudible incantations and then sighed. "This should work for now.... Ivy you cannot be this reckless, the ministry has such a close eye on these types of things..." he said sternly. "I am sorry I just got carried away...." she said quietly. "And as for the company you saw last night, the Weasley's? Really?" he said staring at her. "No, you don't get to do that to me, Fred and George, wait no the ENTIRE Weasley family is like another family to me! I grew up with them, I do not care what you think about them I will not remove them from my life again!" she spat tears threatening to spill over her eyes.

Lucius watched as Ivy practically shook with rage, "Do not use that tone with me Little one you do not know what I am capable of..." he said in a very dark stern tone. "Then don't ask me to drop someone from my life that means so much to me. If you cared about me at all you would see what they mean to me." she hissed on the brink of yelling. Lucius stood up and walked over to Ivy and took her chin roughly in his hand, "Watch. Your. Tone brat" he said as he dug his fingers into the sides of her cheek causing her to wince. "y....yes sir" she stuttered out. "Good girl" he said releasing her face from his grasp.

"Now, I will not ask you to drop them from your live but I do expect you to let me know when you are visiting them. I have something I am going to give you later that will constantly connect your thoughts with me. So wherever you are I will know if you are in any sense of danger and it will also let me know of your location immediately. I can't have my little one out and about without me knowing if she is safe." he smirked. "Y...your little one?" she stuttered out. "Mhm, gotta put a name to this can't just be going around having meaningless sex. You. Are. Mine" he said.

A chill shot down her spine at the words oozing off his tongue, she was his and he was hers. A real relationship something she always craved, something she never had with a man, just only once with a boy at Hogwarts. She liked the idea of being his one and only, she liked the idea of him being hers and having a relationship with him. "Interesting thoughts you have there little one." he smirked slyly. He ran his fingers through her hair gently, "Now come I want to give you that necklace." he said.

Ivy followed Lucius into the hall and then into his room she followed behind him. He walked into his room and went to the wardrobe and opened the top right drawer and pulled out a little black cardboard box. He handed it to Ivy who slowly opened it inside was a black amethyst crystal hanging from a silver chain. She ran her fingertips over the smooth surface of the crystal she had never seen a black amethyst before, she knew of them but they were also extremely rare and obtained enough power to host some very dark magic. She looked up at Lucius who was smiling down at her, "Like it?" he asked.
