Unexpected (Completed?)

Chapter 34

I woke up alone. Completely alone. "Posy." She popped in, "when did Lucius leave?" "Very early this morning before the morning mistress." I nodded feeling a tad sad. "What do I have today?" "Breakfast and then you must go to the ministry mistress. It happened earlier this morning probably why Mr. Malfoy left, you're the new Minister of Magic." I nodded, "ready breakfast in my room while I shower." I understood why Lucius left if it was something at the ministry but I felt off today like something was going to happen. I showered and cleared my mind, I ate breakfast while Posy picked out a business outfit, she grabbed a black pencil skirt, a dark blue button up blouse and a pair of heels. "What jewelry mistress?" "Pearls. The earrings and single strand necklace. Just a bun today please Posy. Just make it neat." After eating I did my makeup very clean and minimal and quickly dressed and put my jewelry on. "Mistress you're shaking are you alright?" "I'll be eighteen soon. Now I'm in control of the magical world. I'm a mother. I'm getting a divorce of my second marriage, I'm screwing my ex boyfriend's dad, who happens to be mates with my first husband who used to follow my second husband around like a lost puppy. I feel so lost." She did all she could think and gave me a hug. I smiled and kissed her head.

"Keep Orion hidden today please Posy. I'm on edge." She nodded and away I went. I began to walk through the main entrance of the ministry. People said hello, congratulations, made sure I knew who they were and their department. I felt like I was suffocating. I made it to my office and closed the door. I couldn't breathe. I was woozy and light headed. I felt as if there was an elephant sitting on my chest. I struggled to maintain my composure. The door opened and Lucius entered, neither of us realized so did Severus. I was hyperventilating, "Sophie you have to breathe. Slowly. In through your nose, out through the mouth." He held my hands and I started crying and collapsed to the floor. "My love it's okay. I know I know Sophie let it out." He was speaking in a low husky voice soothing words and sweet nothings. I finally caught my breath and I felt the cool touch of his magic cleanse my face and fix my makeup.

"What happened Sophie?" "I woke up and you were gone and then something has felt wrong all day. Then everyone was talking to me and I felt like I was suffocating." "It's sounds like anxiety or even a panic attack. Look at me, you're alright. These occur to people all the time, you're incredibly stressed and you've been handling everything with such grace it's okay to get upset. You're feelings are valid. My love I'm so sorry you woke up alone there was the vote. From now on floo into your office or I'll make sure you're not alone." I nodded his words making me feel better. "My love? Waking up without you? What is going on?" He stood up and faced Severus, "we are involved with one another. After the dark lord declares Narcissa his mistress. Not long at all." "You know. Lucius you knew I wanted her back." "She is free to makeup her own mind regarding the situation." "She is sitting right here gentlemen." They stopped and looked at me, Lucius helped me off the floor, "minister you look lovely." "I smiled and rolled my eyes. Thank you."

"Lucius what am I needing to do today? I'd like to leave early if possible to rest." "Sign that stack and smile for your official camera photo." I nodded. I grabbed the stack and Severus stood up, "you knew Lucius. You knew I wanted her back. All this time you bloody knew. Are you willing to die for her? Give up everything? Because I was. I did. I gave her up to save her life. I gave up my child Lucius. I gave up everything so she can draw the very breath she is taking now!" I sat there stunned at the outburst. "Severus.." he turned and looked at me, his eyes bloodshot, "I didn't think after everything and then the birth of Orion you'd still care." "You should know better than that. You're the very heart that beats in my chest." I was speechless. "Severus she's moved on my friend accept it." I slammed my hand down, "ENOUGH BOTH OF YOU. Damnit have I not been through enough? You're both being so selfish. What about me? What do I want? How do I feel?" They were silent, "get out of my office. Both of you. Now."
