Was there a universe in which she was not destined to be Lucius Malfoy's whore, in some sense? I am glad they have taken to having sex regularly I think that will help calm her down and make it feel less like a chore when the ritual demands? Is she going to end up preggers? I find it quite creepy that his body is animated yet he does not breath. The horror part of the story is strong. Me thinks he loves her more than he cares to acknowledge.
