Warning: Blood, knife, vampires and intruding on other people's property

It's been a week or so since Y/N was saved by Lucius. During her time here at Malfoy Manor, she has noticed some strange things - no mirrors, no sunlight in the building... She still swears that she sees the people in the portraits moving!

Besides the strange things, she has also noticed something else. Severus and Lucius seem very close... Not just as friends. The thought of them being together makes her hot and bothered - why does it make her hot and bothered?! She needs to stop thinking these thoughts! They are probably just very good friends. Yes, that's how it must be... Right?

Well, the more she stays here, the less she's sure of that. Not too long ago, she saw Severus touch Lucius' cheek lovingly... Well, he probably just wanted to cheer him up for some reason.

Right now, she's walking around the manor, observing the portraits. She's practically staring at them - waiting for them to move. As they seem to stay completely still, she huffs to herself. Okay, so she IS crazy...

When she's about to turn around and leave, one of the men's expression changes... He's smirking, as if he's taunting her! She blinks a few times, confusion all over her face. Is she crazy? Or is this really happening?

She suddenly screams when she feels a hand on her shoulder. When she realises that it's just Lucius, she sighs in relief. "You scared me..." she mutters. She almost thought that one of the people came out of their portrait...

Lucius chuckles. "I apologise, I didn't mean to frighten you... I was simply wondering if you would like to go for a walk?" he asks her. Severus isn't here right now, so he feels a bit down and lonely. He thought he could spend some time with the girl.

As Y/N looks at the big clock on the wall, she slowly raises an eyebrow. "It's nine in the evening... Isn't it dark outside right now?" she wonders. She has no idea whether it is dark or not due to the curtains.

Lucius clears his throat, seeming a bit nervous about something. "Ah, yes, it is... I merely like evening walks" he simply says. He can't tell her the real reason why he chose to go for a walk now...

"Oh. Well, okay then" Y/N says, shrugging.

Smiling, Lucius offers his arm. At first, it confuses Y/N. Why is he being so old school and such a gentleman? She however shakes off the thought. She actually likes that he's acting this way. It's nice.

As she wraps her arm around his, the two of them go outside in the dark and walk around the garden. Now she wishes that they were walking here during the daytime - she's sure that this place is beautiful when you can actually see where you are going. Thankfully, Lucius guides her so she doesn't step into anything.

The dark scared her in the start, but now she thinks it's rather cosy walking here with Lucius in the dark and cold evening. Speaking of the cold, she begins to shiver. Noticing this, Lucius offers her his coat. For some reason, his action makes her blush. Thank Goodness he can't see that in the dark.

"Thank you" she mutters a bit shyly, grabbing his coat and putting it on. It's nice and warm since he just wore it. It smells like him, too... Some sort of fancy cologne. She likes it.

Suddenly as they walk here in the garden, somebody approaches them. At first, Y/N thinks that it's Severus - who else could it be, right? But she quickly realises that's not the case. Lucius seems to know him - she can faintly tell that he widens his eyes.

He grabs Y/N's arm with his shaking hands, pulling her behind him as if protecting her from the mysterious man in front of them.

The man laughs. It's an evil laugh that makes her skin crawl. "Lucius... Good afternoon. It's been a while. I see that you have found a human to feed on" he says in a taunting way, showing his white teeth. It almost looks like he has fangs...

Lucius growls. "Azrael... What in Salazar's name are you doing here in my garden?!" he demands.

The man named Azrael gives a creepy smile. "Oh, I'm simply going for an evening stroll like you two..." he merely says, looking at Y/N. He seems to have a hungry look... It scares her a lot.

Lucius' grip on her tightens, though not enough to hurt her. "Leave!" he orders.

Azrael bows in a mocking way. "Very well, it is dinner time for me anyway... Have a good night" he says in a sing-song voice, laughing before leaving the garden.

Once he's out of sight, Lucius sighs in relief. "He's gone, good... Let's go back inside" he tells Y/N.

As they enter the building, Y/N looks at him. "Who was that guy? And what did he mean by 'a human to feed on'?" she slowly asks.

Lucius slowly panics. He desperately tries to think of something. "He's... mentally ill. He has harassed me before" he decides to say. Y/N slowly nods, believing him.

Later that night while Y/N is in her room, Severus returns from Hogwarts. Lucius instantly tells him what happened, forgetting to greet him in his panicked state. "He was here, Sev! AZRAEL! He almost revealed what I am to Y/N! Oh, I can't take it anymore! There's no way she won't find out soon!" he panics.

Severus sighs, rolling his eyes. "Good afternoon to you too, Lucius... Perhaps we should tell her, then. It's clearly stressing you out" he states.

Lucius sighs as well. "Hello, forgive me... And I'm not so sure, Sev. She probably won't believe us, she will probably run away if we tell her. I like her company, I don't feel lonely when she's here while you are away... Muggles don't believe in vampires, do they?" he asks, sounding unsure about this.

"Well, most don't... In that case, let's give it some time, shall we? We will tell her when the time is right" Severus suggests. Lucius slowly nods, agreeing with him.

Severus then retrieves a knife. "It's late, you'll need to drink" he reminds him.

As he cuts his own arm so Lucius can drink his blood, none of them realise that a certain girl sees what's happening while Lucius gets his nutrition.
