September 11, 1996 - Unexpected Fortune
Who: Lucius, Narcissa
Where: Malfoy Manor
When: Late evening
Rating: PG

Status: Closed, completed
Summary: A stroke of luck sets the jailbird free.

The details of his escape, he thought, didn't bear discussing. They'd been unusual, and confusing, and extremely disconcerting to him. But they'd provided him with a chance to leave the custody of Azkaban prematurely, if not exactly legally.

Getting home without a wand had been a bit of a trial, but he had contacts. He had people who knew and still feared his name, even in light of his recent ... failure. He still maintained that was not his fault, but the Dark Lord didn't see it that way.

Having acquired a spare wand from a contact who'd had a couple of extras, Lucius had managed to apparate back to the Manor. It wasn't his wand, and he had every intention of replacing it as soon as possible, but it would do for now.

Knowing he looked like hell in his borrowed robes and bedraggled hair, Lucius all the same wanted to see his wife. His son, he knew, was at school, but his wife, surely, would be home.

And she'd likely want to know the details of his escape ... and he'd be happy to share them after he'd had a chance to shower and dress in something clean and his.

Moving through the manor, he peered first into the study to see if she was there; if not, he'd have to fetch one of the house elves to track her down for him ... and that would be annoying. "Narcissa?" he called softly; if she was here and within hearing range, surely she'd come. Of course, the wards might have alerted her that someone had come in, but perhaps not - they were set to allow him without being triggered.

"Indeed," Narcissa said with a bit of a bite to her tone. She still hadn't forgiven her sister for that- even though Bella had no idea she was mad at her and doubtedly never would. Then there was the fact she hadn't been caught and Lucius had which still rubbed Narcissa the wrong way. If Lucius had to go to Azkaban then Bella should have too- it was only fair- though Cissa would have prefered if neither of them had gone.

Shifting slightly as Lucius stroked her hair she slid futher down so that she was lying with her head in his lap. Looking up at him she said, "Of course, love." She knew the owl was important to him, to her and to their son's future even if Lucius hadn't said it out loud.

	He smiled softly down to his wife, fingertips trailing softly through her hair as he simply watched her. It was good to see her. To be here. To be home. To be in a position to do things to take care of his family. He closed his eyes, leaning back to simply revel in her presence, perhaps to indulge in a bit of peaceful slumber.

	Narcissa felt her start to fall asleep as Lucius trailed his fingers through her hair. As she watched her husband she could tell that he was starting to fall asleep. She couldn't help but think that this was perfect scene for the two of them after so long apart (Reply to this) (Parent)
