Who: Danielle Edgecombe and Lucius Malfoy When: Monday Evening Where: Edgecombe Estate What: Rendezvous Rating: Likely High
It was humiliating to care about Lucius as much as she did. Danielle knew that. While he continued on his his marriage to Narcissa, Danielle was left wondering what he felt for her and if he wanted anything other than sex from her. Knowing that he still shared a bed with his wife killed her, but Danielle could not allow herself to let on. For twenty years she'd been lying to Lucius and keeping the truth from him and Danielle saw no reason to change her behaviour now. Their relationship was nothing more than a mutual understanding.
After a long and tiring day, Danielle left the Ministry. She instructed the elves to deliver dinner to Remus along with her apologies for not dining with him. She would not be eating and retired to her suite with a bottle of wine. Her shame and disgust could be easily forgotten after a few glasses. Changing into her dressing gown, Danielle sat in her sitting room and poured herself a large glass. It was emptied within moments and Danielle poured herself another.
At this rate, she thought to herself, she was going to die of alcohol long before any curse took her. It seemed a far more enjoyable way to go. When her fireplace suddenly lit up with green flames, Danielle didn't look over. It had to be Lucius. No one else would dream of entering in such a manner. Taking another large drink of her wine, Danielle tried her best to rid her face of emotions. "Good evening, Lucius," she said quietly.
