Lucius had a banquet, and Amelia was fashionably late to dinner that evening in the Great Hall, the heel of her black boots clacking against the ancient stony surface. Her dress wrapped tightly around her body, she smiled as all eyes shifted to her. She walked into the room and just like that she was bejeweled.
Almost everyone had finished eating, with the golden platters of food laying half empty, with some just dusted with the crumbs of whatever delish treat had sat upon it. Lucius quickly moved to Amelia offering his arm.
"You are very late my love."
"I have a good excuse." Amelia assured. "I didnt want to come." she added seriously.
"Amelia." Lucius scolded as Draco ran up, he looked so handsome in his little suit.
"Happy Christmas mama!" Draco declared.
"I will let him have this tonight but mark my words-"
"Happy Christmas my love." Lucius kissed her, silencing her words.
"Any food left? You know I hate people." Amelia murmured. "And you love feasts." Lucius looked around, he liked showing off. He liked showing off Amelia on his arm as well.
"Lets get you something to eat." Lucius suggested. Severus excused himself from the conversation and made his way to amelia kissing her cheek.
"You look stunning."
"Thank you, Lucius take note that is how you are supposed to greet me." Amelia sassed taking a sip of her drink. "You look handsome, I like this tie." she added giving it a tug.
"You bought it for me." Severus reminded her.
"I knew there was a reason why i liked it." She agreed. "This party is great."
"It's basically over." Severus countered.
"Thats why its great. Happy Christmas, lovey." She added.
"Happy christmas honey," he answered.
"I want music, Lucius!" She called out. Draco sat beside her leaning into her. "Did you sneak a grown up drink?" He nodded his head hurting. "You sneaky boy." She kissed his temple. "They are grown up drinks for a reason."
"It tasted funny." Draco whispered.
"Yeah, fermentation." Amelia agreed. "You want drunk dance with me?" She questioned grabbing his head. He nodded following her off.
"She's the perfect mother." Lucius remarked.
"She doesnt like that word." Severus countered.
"Yet she is." Lucius clarified. "Draco loves her, one day... we can't do this forever."
"What?" Severus countered.
"Dont play dumb."
"I have no plans to get married until Amelia wants to marry."
"And I want to marry amelia." Lucius agreed.
"Dont." Severus warned.
"I love her."
"As do I, if one of us has her the other loses her. She doesnt want that." Severus reminded him.
"One day." Lucius whispered watching draco and amelia. Severus knew that draco needed amelia that if it came down it between them Amelia would choose what was best for draco. She he didnt want to give her a chance to choose between them because he couldnt handle losing her.
Amelia woke up plastered to Severus chest with Lucius's weight at her back. Late morning light presses against the sheer curtains covering the windows of lucius large windows. The temptation to close her eyes and simply go back to sleep was almost too much to ignore.
She had no business feeling this jovial sandwiched between these two, but she couldn't shake the certainty that, no matter what else is true, they would both put themselves between her and danger without hesitation. Not to mention, for a few hours, she saw how things could have been between Lucius and Severs. An unbeatable team, their strengths perfectly complementing each other.
She always cuddled up next to severus afterward but if she turned in her sleep facing away from him he felt like a pang if betrayal like her sleeping self, chose lucius over him but she also always used severus to torment lucius making him go even harder. He was an easily jealous man which is why severus never quite understood why he didnt seem to mind sharing her with him.
Draco was quick to run into the room, he had done this before, seen them all together tangled in bed, he didnt think twice about it.
"Happy Christmas! Presents! Santa! MAMA LET'S GO!" Draco shouted jumping on the bed and shaking them awake. "PRESENTS! SO MANY PRESENTS!"
