Black-and-white - life is beautiful (Translation)

74. Visit?

"What are you doing here again? Go away!"
Lucius did not allow himself to be impressed by the roar and the harsh words and sat down calmly in the visitor place. if the man in front of him really didn't want to see him, he could have simply refused to come into this room. He had that right.
"Dursley, you should be grateful that anyone even condescends to endure your presence," growled one of the policemen who were on guard.
Smiling, Lucius raised his hand.
"Please, just let the man rage. I am well aware that I am the only one besides his lawyer and the psychologist who visits this individual. "
"These are not visits, this is torture," spat the inmate.
"So? However, you have never rejected this "torture". which is not surprising, as I said, I know that nobody comes to visit you. You also make do with the enemy, don't you? ”Teased the blonde, albeit still very charming.

the police officers in the background kept admiring this proud aristocrat. He never let himself get upset no matter what Vernon Dursley threw at him. the result of these visits was that the employees almost fought to have supervision. For the simple reason that they all wanted to learn from Lucius Malfoy. self-control was essential for a policeman, especially if you worked as a guard in a prison. If you were afraid, you were usually tough to cover up this feeling. which of course the inmates immediately saw through and tried to teach even more fear. Unfortunately, often with success. On the other hand, if you behaved as confidently as Mr. Malfoy, you had the prisoners in your pocket. And you feel good yourself.
that's why the supervisor just nodded at the measure, which he wouldn't have liked from anyone else, and just kept listening.

vernon Dursley sat a little straighter with his arms crossed and tried to glare at his visit. Which, as always, did not really affect this. no matter what he tried, this blonde bastard never lost his nerve, so he reminded the former factory owner very unpleasantly of Severus Snape and this gogol. he would have loved to forego the presence of this man, which was out of the question. Unfortunately, the wizard's words were correct, no one had visited him since he had been here. he had had no friends since Snape's interference and his sister had died. Petunia was also in prison and there were no parents either. His lawyer also only came when it was absolutely necessary. otherwise there was only the psychologist whom he loathed at least as much as the wizard pack.
"What do you want here again? And why do you learn things that are absolutely none of your business? ”Vernon growled in a moody mood.
"I've told you very often why I keep coming back. I want to know if you are making any progress. "
"You want to indulge in my suffering," came back snappily.
"No, I represent the interests of the young man who has tormented you for years. And Dudley was a good friend of mine. Your son, do you remember? even if I only knew him very briefly, I will definitely keep his memory. "

All of that was true, of course, but Dursley was not entirely wrong, Lucius Malfoy was very vengeful. Although he had changed a lot and would never commit crimes again in his life, he now respected life, but revenge was still part of his character. only he now lived this trait very differently. That's why he was still visiting the Dursleys. On the one hand really to see if they were making progress but also to indulge in their suffering. They had lived in bacon like maggots for far too long and were admired by everyone. Something that still pissed off the blonde. Mainly because the man was only too aware that he wasn't better himself earlier. a realization that Lucius regularly turned his stomach.that's why he came here again and again, he wanted to see what could have become of him if he hadn't had friends like the Snapes and a wonderful woman like Narcissa at his side.
and then there was James Potter. The way this man dealt with his family still mocked any description and Lucius would have given a lot to be able to take revenge on this guy. since that no longer worked, he had to make do with the Dursleys.

"I have no son," came Vernon unforgiving.
Lucius shook his head in disbelief.
"You are still so full of hate, isn't that stressful? how can you live like this? "
"I can return the question. How can you still love your son after everything he did? I would spit in the face of someone like that. "
Lucius sighed.
"How many times have we had this conversation now? I still loathe my son for what he did, but I still love him. In addition, as I have already mentioned a hundred times, I am deliberately not entirely innocent in its development. the first years of his life, as a father, I was as useless as you. I still loathe my former self too deeply and am happy not to be so full of hate anymore. it is amazing how much life is more beautiful if you no longer spend it with useless fights. ,my triplets benefit most from my change when I see what wonderful and loving beings the three are, then I am even more ashamed of my previous behavior. however, it is also a guarantee that you will no longer fall into old patterns. That's why I'm still visiting Draco. He also still has feelings for a monster that just took advantage of him. Even if it sounds pretentious, which it may be, I am extremely sorry for my son. I can not imagine how it must be to love someone for whom you are only a means to an end. Such love is extremely unhealthy. "
“Stop it, I'm getting sick. How can you behave like this? You are a sissy, if you were a real man you would have thrown a few juicy words at this miscarriage and then forgot about him. ”
"And that is exactly why I can get up and go at any time while you will be a prisoner for the rest of your miserable life. Not only caught by bars and doors, but also by yourself. "
"Why do you always start philosophizing?" Vernon groaned.
"I don't know, you seem to be making me do it," Lucius admitted.
In the background the blonde heard the suppressed laughter of some guards.
"I wish you would just die."
"No, don't, because then you would have less variety. Besides, who else should tell you about your wife? "
Vernon was immediately sensitive.
"How's Petunia?"
"Well look at how much you change when your wife comes into play. I'll tell you something that's called love. The same feeling that you make fun of with others. to answer your question, nothing has changed with her either. "
"So she forgave Dudley for his betrayal?"
"Treason? You really can't be helped anymore. and no, she didn't forgive him, because there is nothing to forgive, but she blames herself for her own behavior. It seems that her wife has not yet lost everything. She even thinks differently about Harry now. ”
