Grace sat in her chambers. She knew that she had Lucius Malfoy on her mind. He was lurking around a lot. She was intrigued by him.

Grace knew that he was Lucius Malfoy and how last year he was fired from the school governors. How he was bad news. But yet she couldn't stop thinking about him.

Grace walked down to the great hall. She saw Ariel and smiled as she looked to her young niece. "Can I ask you something?" Ariel asked.

Grace looked to her and smiled. "Yeah. Are you okay?"

"I'm okay. I know it's not for me to ask you. But my mum won't talk about it. Did you know my dad?" She asked.

Grace smiled. "I did. I can't tell you who he is. But I know that your mum loved him so much. I know he loves you. It was hard on her. He didn't know about you. But you have your mum. And she would do anything for you. She loves you," she said.

Ariel nodded. "It hurts her to talk about him. Did he hurt her?" She asked.

Grace smiled. "No. But she lost him and it broke her and then she found out she was pregnant. I know that you're curious about it all. I know that you want to know the truth. I'm sorry I can't tell you. But you should know that all she does is for you. To protect you and to keep you safe," she said as Ariel smiled.

Grace looked as Ariel walked off and sighed. She knew how she wanted to tell her the truth.

But she knew how it was on Skye. She couldn't do that to her sister.

She knew how she deserved better than that. And she knew how hard that the subject of Sirius was.

Grace walked into Skye's classroom. She looked to her and smiled. "Hey are you okay?" Grace asked.

Skye looked to her. She sighed. "I'm okay. My head is a mess. I don't know what to think. Ariel is asking about her father."

"I know. She was asking me," Grace told her.

Skye gave her a look and sighed. "You're joking?"

"No. Don't worry.  I didn't say much. Just that you loved him. And it's hard. You know that he is in the run. But she does need to know the truth," Grace said as Skye nodded.

Grace walked down the corridor. She smirked as she saw who she had walked into. She looked to see Lucius Malfoy. She looked to him. "If I didn't know any better, I would say that you were stalking me," she said.

Lucius looked to her and chuckled. "You wish."

Grace looked to hun and smirked. "Are you here about Draco?"

"That. And I wanted to see you again. I know I am married and all. But I can't stop thinking about you. I want to invite you to my manor. To have dinner," he said.

Grace looked to him and smirked. "I'd love too," she said.

She had no idea just what she was getting into with Lucius Malfoy.
