The Hufflepuff and the Slytherin

Chapter 22-A Night for a Party

The next few weeks that went by were some of the best weeks of your entire life. You and Lucius had seemed to almost pick up from where you had left off from when you were back at Hogwarts, when you had been happy and carefree. It was almost as if the bad times had never happened.

Most days Lucius called on you to come and stay with him at his large London mansion. The two of you would walk through the gardens that you had created and admire the beauty all around you for hours, the two of you feeling like you were living in your own Wonderland or Eden. The last of the summer days were still fairly warm and so the best part about wandering the gardens with a man who resembled some sort of angel or a God was that you got to have the most passionate make-out sessions and love making sessions with him amongst the roses and greenery. It was always as if you were in a dream, but the best part was that it was real.

Even most nights, as you left Lucius back at his mansion and returned home, a few hours later you would always hear a knock at your door and smile knowing it was Lucius. He would always enter your place with a purpose and a seriousness, wanting to have you one last time before the day ended. The passion that consumed you both was all encompassing. You would be lying if you said that you didn't love having someone to cuddle up with at night and fall fast asleep with.

Lucius' warm body was something so comforting and felt so much like home that you got the best sleep you had ever gotten in years. Even Emily, your cat, seemed to instantly fall in love with Lucius. She would often appear in the middle of the night and cuddle up against Lucius' legs or back and bask in his warmth as well, as if he had always belonged to her.

One perfect afternoon you and Lucius were laying in the soft grass of the French style garden at his mansion. Lucius had laid one of his soft black cloaks on the grass and had then laid you upon it. He had started out kissing every square inch of your body; had kissed you and loved you with his mouth on your most intimate parts and then had entered you and taken you quickly and strongly, as you cried out his name over and over, the only sounds to be heard in the private gardens being your passion and the wind flowing through the soft grass and trees. You had felt so fulfilled and free after, laying naked outside in the bright, warm sun with the man you adored more than anything.

After you both caught your breath, Lucius leaned up on one of his arms so he could look down at you and take in your satisfied face, which caused him to smirk, seeing that he had pleased you so. His other hand then came to lightly stroke his fingers along your body, causing goosebumps to form wherever he touched you, making you hum with more gentle pleasure.

"I have something to ask you," Lucius said in a gentle voice, so not to disturb your peaceful state you were in.

Your eyes instantly opened up, as you looked into Lucius' shining grey ones with curiosity.

"Oh?" You asked softly.

Lucius smiled. "I am having a house warming party of sorts...after doing renovations here for months, and now with the gardens being complete as well, I wanted some of my closer friends and acquaintances to come see the place. I was wanting you to be here that evening...as my most special guest of honor."

Your heart beat a bit faster. "Oh!" Was all you could think of to say in that moment. You instantly had become nervous. You of course were comfortable with Lucius, and once upon a time you had loved all of your fellow Slytherins, but after everything that had happened your 6th year at Hogwarts, essentially being excommunicated from associating with that house, you were nervous to attend a party where you knew most of the attendants would likely be Slytherins.

Lucius could immediately sense your nervousness. "Don't worry my Kitten. Most of the people I am inviting are business colleagues from either the Ministry or my real estate dealings. There will be a few people you may remember from Hogwarts though. I am sure they would be delighted to see you."
