Apologies for the delay on this chapter! My real-life day job  has been absolutely insanely busy! Hopefully will get more consistent  updates now :)

The rest of  the winter season at Hogwarts was a rather cold one. There seemed to be  more snow than any other previous year and most of the students were  constantly inside, warming themselves in front of the many fireplaces in  the castle, studying, hanging out with friends, playing games and just  staying in doors and out of the bitter cold.

You and Lucius had  loved it, as it both gave you endless chances to cuddle up together; and  now you finally could in public too since everyone knew you were a  couple. And although you now held each others' hands in the hallways and  corridors and snuck chaste kisses whenever you were together publicly,  you both kept your passionate kissing and touching to strictly your  two favorite spots; the Room of Requirement and your greenhouse down in  the gardens of the school. Both places no one would ever come looking  for either of you. You spent hours daily in either location. Kissing  each other, touching each other, making love, and just simply existing  in dreamy bliss. The outside world unable to touch you.

As for  Amalie, you and her had been getting slowly back to normal. At first you  both didn't talk for a week after the New Year's party incident when  she found out about you and Lucius. Frankly, deep down inside, you knew  that you had lost a lot of love and respect for her from her reaction to  it all. You had thought as your best friend, she would be more happy  for you.

However as the weeks went on, you both were civil to each  other, and then smiles began returning whenever you were both around  each other in the Slytherin Common room and in your Potions Class that  you shared with Lucius. Things were pretty much back to normal, but you  noticed that there was always something there behind her eyes. Your  friendship had changed a bit. However, Lucius more then made up for the  slight loss you felt at that. All in all, everything was good, and you  longed for the winter to continue so that you could live in the warm  bubble you currently were in. You wanted time to stand still, never  wanting the moment to change. Because as you knew, when Spring arrived,  that only meant a few more months until Lucius would graduate; something  which made your stomach tighten in knots.

In the early weeks of  March, when the heavy snow was beginning to melt away leaving only  layers of frost all over the grounds of the school, you had been working  away in your greenhouse one Monday afternoon. Monday was always your  busy herbology day, your favorite, and you loved spending a majority of  the day in your own personal greenhouse amongst your vibrant white  roses, which had thrived during the winter as well as your various  healing herbs that you grew as well.

Lucius would always meet you  every Monday in your greenhouse, right as the sun began to set, usually  distracting you with his sweet kisses, and then most of the time, taking  your body every which way on whatever available surface you could find.

As  if right on schedule, you heard the soft tapping on the glass of  Lucius' finger, asking to be let in. You usually locked your door,  wanting privacy as you worked, and then later when Lucius would join  you, privacy for other activities as well. You smiled and set down the  watering can you had been using and went straight over to the door, your  heart fluttering with happiness as it always did at seeing Lucius.

Your  smile faded however, when you saw Lucius' beautiful face had a slight  bruised mark and a gash on the right side of his cheek.
