The Hufflepuff and the Slytherin

Malfoy Manor

After that night, where you spent the night with Lucius, wrapped up  in his arms, you had snuck out of the Slytherin common room extremely  early in the morning and made it back to your common room undetected.  You so longed to be with him like that again, and hoped you both would  be able to find a moment like that alone again soon.

The rest of  the week seemed to go by in a blur and soon enough it was the weekend.  You would be headed to Malfoy Manor to stroll amongst the gardens Lucius  had told you so much about and you were going to meet his parents.

At  the thought of meeting his parents, your stomach turned a bit with  nervousness. You had been staring at your closet in your dorm for the  past half hour wondering what on Earth to wear. You didn't want to wear  anything that screamed too Hufflepuff, and yet you also didn't want to  wear something that made you seem like you were pretending to be a  Slytherin either, however you still wanted to stay true to yourself. In  the end, you ended up picking out a cute plaid mini skirt to go with a  black long sleeved sweater.

You made your way towards the outside  of the front of the castle where you and Lucius had planned on meeting  up so that he could apparate you straight from the grounds. Your nerves  were still bubbling up inside, but the second you made it outside and  saw Lucius' perfect head of hair shining in the sunlight, you  immediately felt comforted. He looked gorgeous as usual, wearing a pair  of black trousers with a lighter grey sweater that fit a bit tightly,  showing off his strong arms and broad shoulders.

His grey eyes  sparkled at the sight of you approaching him and as usual his eyes raked  over you hungrily, taking you all in. It always made you feel  confident, knowing that someone like Lucius thought you to be incredibly  gorgeous and sexy.

No one was really outside today, mostly  everyone was still sleeping in or off enjoying a late breakfast in the  Great Hall, and so silently, Lucius grabbed your hand and the two of you  walked a bit down the dirt path that lead towards the front gates of  the castle where there would be the approved apparating spot.

You felt so much comfort holding his hand and walking in silence, but your nerves were still prickling under the surface.

"I'm so nervous," you admitted to him as you looked down at your feet as you both stopped at the front gates.

Lucius  put his index finger under your chin to lift your head so that you  could look up into his eyes. They were full of care and you knew he  meant what he said next.

"You have nothing to worry about Little  Kitten," he said calmly, his voice as deep and soothing as the ocean.  You trusted him, of course, but were still scared; you tried looking  down again, but his finger under your chin kept your head in place.

"Look  at me love," he said, your stomach forming butterflies when he called  you 'love.' "Everything will be fine. You are perfect, there's nothing to  fear."

You swallowed hard and bit your lip, but nodded your head.  "I know. I just want your parents to like me...I know that you aren't  saying that I'm your official girlfriend, but I still want their  approval."

"I know," he smirked as he then brought his hand up to  brush some of your hair behind your ear, and rub his thumb on your cheek  gently. "Like I said...you're perfect. They will like you. I promise."

You  smiled and leaned your head a bit into his touch, closing your eyes for  a few seconds and just enjoying the feeling of him comforting you.

"Are you ready?" He said after a bit, taking your hands in both of his as he prepared to apparate you both to the Manor.

You  nodded your head again and soon enough you felt the horrible pulling  and twisting feeling one got when apparating. You held on tightly to  Lucius' hands as the world around you spun out of control for a few  brief seconds. You had only ever apparated a few times before, and  hadn't even been trained yourself to do it yet, and so you were  terrified of being splinched.
