Who: Lucius Malfoy & Gabrielle Delacour
When: Thursday, March 15th, Late Afternoon
Where: Gabrielle's ROom, Malfoy Manor
What: Sharing the news of Fleur's passing
Rating: TBD
The joy he'd felt over killing Fleur was with Lucius all day. His source within the DMLE confirmed what he already knew would happen. Her body had been taken by the Muggle police, and no magic had been found at the scene. It was always nice to have his genius confirmed. He waited several hours until he was certain that enough time had passed before it looked suspicious that he knew what was happening.
He didn't enjoy hurting Gabrielle in this way. He'd come to care for the young witch. He didn't love her, no. Lucius was incapable of loving another person again. His heart was too cold now, he'd lost too much. But, as much as he was able, he cared for Gabrielle. And causing her pain was an unfortunate necessity part of his plan, the only way to ensure that she would remain loyal to him.
Once her loyalty was forever cemented, Lucius would take the next step. Gabrielle would be turned against the Ministry, against those who stood against him. She would be used to bring foreign leaders to their knees, figuratively and literally. But, before that could happen, Lucius had to beak the news to his favorite protegee.
Knocking on her door quietly to announce himself, Lucius opened the door and entered, finding Gabrielle on her bed. He smiled at her, his face filled with concern. "My sweet girl, may I have a moment?"
