Lucius: Event: Storm
Rivers of water poured off the roof, cascading past the windows into the mud that, until recently, was a small herb garden.
The house was old enough to creak and make occasional noises as it was. With the wind and rain pounding at it for days and days, the house was practically playing a symphony. Lucius normally enjoyed the rain, at the Manor. He and Narcissa would use the foul weather as an excuse to lock themselves into the library...or the bedroom. He sighed and sipped at his glass of wine, looking out the window at the storm. Several books lay haphazardly strewn open along the table, a reminder of failed attempts to distract him.
This wasn't the Manor. It was a small (to him), dark, empty house, not his home. And, most importantly, there was no Narcissa. He was trapped in this place with no one, no connection to his former life.
Despite the roaring fire in the fireplace, he shivered with a cold that ran much deeper than his skin.
