Y/n firmly held her husband's hand as they walked through the mansion.
Lucius walked with his head held high, and with a firm grip on his cane.
The small thuds of the cane hitting the floor made y/n feel incredibly calm.

Y/n gripped his arm tigthly. His presence comforted her and she knew that he would be able to protect her.
Lucius smiled when he felt his wife hold onto him tightly. Almost like a little kitten he thought.
The darling little girl on his arm reminded him of a kitten in more than one way. He loved him dependent she already was on him.
Her body also reminded him of a little kitten. She moved softly and gracefully, just like a cat.
He ached to hear her soft  meowing as he made love to her.
He had thoroughly enjoyed the wedding night. Even though she was very nervous at the beginning, he was so proud of his little wife for being such a good girl and obeying him.

He gently stroked her arms as they walked through the halls of the manor. He had just finished showing her the formal dining room when he heard her let out a little whimper.

" what's wrong sweetheart?" He said in a concerned voice.

" my feet hurt a little" she said in a small voice. She didn't want to be a bother.

Lucius silently cursed himself for not thinking about this earlier. It was very inconsiderate of him to drag her around the whole manor. Walking around the manor was no trouble for Lucius, but his little wife was much smaller than him. Her feet probably ached terribly, he thought.

" I'm sorry for dragging you around the whole manor" he said.
" I should have realized that you would become a bit tired"

Before y/n could respond he gently picked her up and started to walk down the corridor.
Y/n felt a bit embarrassed as she was carried down the hall by her husband.
She felt embarrassed at being treated like a little girl.
Another part of her loved being treated like this.
It made her feel safe and comfortable, and she loved how his big hand felt when he was stroking her hair.

They entered a small room at the end of the corridor.
The sunlight shone through the big windows on the wall. Y/n turned her head to Lucius chest to avoid the bright light.
Lucius gently placed her in an armchair and ordered a house elf to bring them tea.

" thank you for being so kind to me" y/n said.
" you are my wife after all," Lucius said. " it is my duty to properly care for you."

Y/n blushed and looked down on her lap. She started fiddling with a strand of her hair, like she always did when she was a little nervous.

Lucius picked up on this rather quickly.
" whats wrong sweetheart?" He asked and looked at her with gentle eyes.

Y/n took a while before responding.
" everything is just so new" she said.
" I've been here less than a day but my whole view of this has totally changed. Everything is so different from what I thought it would be."

Lucius gave her a concerned look. Her distress was apparent on her face.

He wondered why she felt this way. He had done his very best to make her comfortable and make sure that she got settled in probably. He couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.

" what's wrong darling?" He asked. " I'm really sorry if I've made you uncomfortable or if this isn't what you had hoped for.
Lucius good mood left his instantly. He had done is very best to care for his little wife and yet he hadn't succeeded.

A panicked look found it way to y/n face.
" no! It's not like that at all!" She said quickly.
" in fact it the opposite" she said in a little more gentle voice. " I had expected this to be far worse that it is. " you have been amazing to me and I'm really sorry if I made you think I wasn't grateful. "
She said in a shy voice.
