Severus moved quietly through the fireplace, his boots making no noise on the thick carpet as he stepped through the living room. He glanced here and there, shivering at the stillness of it all. Barely a torch was lit. Even at this time of night, before the war, there would still be light. Still be activity. Elves, mostly. But Lucius often did business dealings after Narcissa and Draco went to bed.
Narcissa and Draco. He wasn't ready to see them just yet.
He followed the path up to Lucius' room and even in the near-darkness of the manor, he knew the route. Very little had changed. The drapes. The table in the dining room. A few carpets. It felt colder. Likely because the master of the manor was so cold himself. Severus intended to change that though he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could do it alone.
The door he stopped in front of was one he'd gone through many times before in many different moods. He put his hand on the knob and hesitated. Would Lucius accept him? Even though the manor yielded to him, allowing him access, would Lucius believe he'd come back to life? He could scarcely believe it himself. He had barely slept since his rebirth three days ago and when he did his dreams were full of horrible images and he didn't quite have enough ingredients for a dreamless sleep potion. It would be one thing he'd have to ask the horcrux.
Taking a breath, he turned the knob and stepped inside, and shut it behind him.
"Lucius?"
