Line Between Nightmare and Dream

“Well thank you anyway, please keep in touch” Amycus said as he hung up the phone for what seemed like the millionth time. He couldn’t figure out why people were refusing to let him handle their money. He offered them everything even worry free investment, but still pulled out.

He walked into the living room and sat on the couch next to his wife.

“Who was that?” Lana asked not looking up from her book

“No one important” Amycus lied. He didn’t want his wife to know his clients were leaving because she was already suspicious about his fidelity.

Lana hadn’t let Amycus out of her sight for days. They had spent every moment together; unfortunately Lana was sick of Amycus. Before she thought she got along just fine with her husband, but she didn’t realize how important time apart had been to their marriage.

“I’m going out for a glass of wine with some friends tonight” Lana told Amycus

“Oh I didn’t think we had any plans” Amycus replied

“WE don’t I do” Lana snapped back

“Where are you going?” Amycus asked partially to see how much money she would be spending and partially to see where not to take Beth.

“Not sure yet, Samantha was going to pick” Lana said

“SAMANTHA!! Why do you insist on spending time with her?” Amycus asked

“We get along” Lana lied; she needed Samantha to be her eyes and ears. Samantha was connected and heard everyone’s gossip, rumors, and secrets.

Amycus rolled his eyes and tried to focus on the Daily Prophet in front of him.

Hermione sat in a café going over some reading for a class. She was glad Lucius was busy today because it gave her time to think.

She thought she was over her past, and the fact that she could fall for Lucius convinced her even more of that. But what she didn’t realize was how much of her past with Amycus was pushed from her memory. She had a hard time staying focused with Lucius and seeing him as a reformed man since the Opera. The image of Amycus passing her off to Lucius was suddenly very fresh in her memory.

“Yeah she found out about Amycus and Beth at the Winbolt Winery” A woman said behind Hermione

“Did she leave him?” another woman asked

“No Lana’s still with him but I would bet she’ll be out of there by the end of the month” the first woman replied

Hermione looked over her shoulder to see who was talking. There were two women at the counter waiting on their order. They looked out of place. Their silk lined coats and designer bags didn’t fit in with the University crowd. But the women looked at ease in the café and Hermione guessed the women came here to gossip on a regular basis. It was a good location, none of the students in the café would know who the women were talking about let alone care about the social drama.

The woman took a seat close to Hermione and continued their chatter.

“My husband said Amycus had a house call from the Ministry. Harry Potter himself searched the house for dark arts contraband.” The first woman continued

“Was anything found!” her friend replied oozing with excitement

“No but the investigation is still going on” The woman said

“Well it makes a lot more sense why my husband switched his investor this week. I thought Amycus was doing a good job with our money, but George wouldn’t want to risk being associated with an active death eater” The two women laughed and it sounded to Hermione like their husbands were probably more concerned about being investigated themselves.

The women continued mocking Amycus for a few more minutes before finding some poor girl in the café to jeer.

Hermione quickly finished her coffee and packed up her bags. She wasn’t even careful to not bend the pages of her work book; she had to talk to Harry.

“Can I use your fireplace?” Hermione asked the barista

“It’ll cost you 5 galleons” he responded

“Fine” Hermione reached for her purse and paid for the floo powder

“Office of Harry Potter” Hermione said and was whisked away to her friends work place

“Hermione? What are you doing here?” Harry said looking up from his desk

“I just heard some women saying you were at Amycus Carrows house this week.” Hermione said

“Yeah we got a tip that he still owned some illegal dark arts items” Harry said folding up the parchment in front of him

“Did you find anything?” Hermione asked

“Well…no…but there was something there. I found a sort of magic residue in one room” Harry answered

“So you’re still looking?” Hermione said excited by the news

“Yeah I’m still doing research” Harry said “What’s all this about?”

Hermione hesitated she didn’t want to bring up bad times. “Harry I want you to get this guy”

“Oh I will. Things are already starting to fall apart for him. The rumors alone have done an amazing job of scaring his clients away, and his wife heard that he was cheating. I almost think someone is being a catalyst to the situation” Harry said

“If so I’ll kiss whoever it is if this puts Amycus away” Hermione replied

Hermione said goodbye and decided to walk back to the apartment. The Ministry was buzzing with people and messages all heading in different directions. It gave Hermione a headache to try and make sense out of the ciaos but when she just watched the swirling colors of robes it was calming.

“Decided to visit me at work?” Lucius said stepping out of the crowd

“I didn’t know you would be at the Ministry” Hermione smiled and raised herself onto her toes to kiss him

Lucius was shocked to find they were back on kissing terms but was glad to reciprocate.

“Then why are you here?” Lucius asked

“I came to visit Harry” Hermione replied

“Oh now your just trying to make me jealous” Lucius said

“Is it working?” Hermione smiled

“Yes” Lucius smiled back “but I know a way you can make it up to me”

“I’ll bet you do” Hermione laughed and followed Lucius into his Ministry office

“Don’t you ever lose things having all these offices?” Hermione asked as she looked around the office. It was filled with books and files. There were at least 100 quills sitting on the tables in the room.

“No but if I ever had to move I would defiantly leave things behind” Lucius laughed

“What’s with all the quills?” Hermione asked as she picked up a handful

“I have a lot of important meetings in here and there is nothing worse than not having a quill” Lucius said

Lucius let Hermione peruse the shelves of books and let her get comfortable in the room. He started organizing the papers on his desk and looking over his messages when he heard Hermione gasp. He looked up to see her holding a book.

“How are you allowed to have this?” Hermione asked

“I keep it at the Ministry so they can keep track of who sees it. I’m sure someone is getting a message right now that ‘Hermione Granger picked up Theories of Magic.” Lucius laughed

Hermione quickly put the book back on the shelf but she secretly longed to read it. There was only one full copy of the book known to exist and the notable wizards who held that binding and perused that book was breath taking. The book described the theories of how magic worked and had inspired countless charms that were now used on a day to day basis. It was dangerous too because it had inspired all of the unforgivable curses. Speculation was that if you mastered the book you could control anything and everything.

“I thought Kingsley wanted to destroy the book” Hermione said

“He tried to, but he couldn’t make a dent. He gave it back to me because I promised to use the killing curse on anyone who tried to steal it.” Lucius explained

“Why doesn’t he just kill anyone who steals it. Why give it back to you?” Hermione asked regretting the way her words might sound to him

“He didn’t think he could go through with it. It takes a lot of resolve to use that curse” Lucius replied calmly

“You have to mean it” Hermione said in a daze remembering when Harry tried to Crucio Bellatrix. She wondered if she could mean it enough to kill Amycus, she felt she could.

“Yes” Lucius said and placed his hands on Hermione’s shoulders

“I heard an interesting rumor today” Hermione turned to face Lucius

“What was that?” Lucius smiled down at her

“Karma is catching up to Amycus” Hermione said smugly

Lucius tried to hide his reaction. He wasn’t sure he wanted Hermione to know what he had been up to. He figured in time he could tell her but he wanted to keep her in the dark incase something didn’t turn out as planned.

“He is losing clients left and right, Lana thinks he’s cheating…and he probably is…and Harry is investigating a tip that Amycus owns dark arts objects” Hermione smiled up at Lucius

“Harry is running the investigation….hmmmm…” Lucius said in a faraway tone

“Yeah that’s the real reason I came to see him. I wanted to see if the rumors were true” Hermione admitted

“Well I’m sure Amycus will get what he has coming to him” Lucius said

“Lucius I couldn’t be happier. I have been fretting about Amycus so much lately…but now…” Hermione wrapped her arms around Lucius and kissed him passionately on the lips.

Lucius pressed his mouth back on hers and sucked on her bottom lip. He had missed the taste of her. He drew in a deep breath to fully take in her essence.

“Wow!” Escaped from Hermione’s throbbing lips

“I missed you my dear” Lucius said looking down at her

Hermione let Lucius place his lips on hers again this time he was much softer. He ran his fingers over her cheek bones and around the back of her ears. He took a few small steps forward and backed Hermione into his desk.

Lucius picked Hermione up to sit on the desk. He lowered himself in front of her and pushed her thighs apart. Her skirt was short and he could see her maroon panties peaking out. Lucius pushed her skirt up around her waist and saw a golden Griffon prancing on her panties.

“I’m going to have to buy you a few Slytherin pairs of these” Lucius said snapping the waist band of her panties

He looped his thumb into the crotch of her panties and pulled them aside. He slowly slid his tongue through her slit, and Hermione opened her legs more in response to his touch.

Lucius took a few more swipes with his tongue before vanishing her panties all together. He slid a finger into her vagina and massaged her inner walls while he licked and sucked on her clit. Hermione put one hand behind her for support and the other on Lucius’ head.

She weaved her fingers into his long blond hair and pulled him closer. His tongue danced around her clit and his fingers pressed against her G-spot. She gasped when he started nibbling gently on her clit.

Hermione laid back on the desk, pushing piles of parchment and quills out from under her. Lucius switched his approach and started rubbing her clit with his thumb and pushed his tongue into her hot folds. She tasted so sweet; his cock was rock hard from being between her legs.

Hermione arched her back and let Lucius get deeper. His experience paid off; as she pitched and squirmed he was able to keep the stimulation consistent and Hermione soon felt herself suddenly heat up. Her muscles clenched and she drew in a quick breath as her orgasm rushed over her.

Lucius let her calm down before moving over her for a kiss. The mixture of her cum and saliva made an intoxicating blend in his mouth. He loved the feeling of having her all. He didn’t want the moment to end and completely missed Hermione pushing on his chest.

“Are you going to let me have a turn?” Hermione asked

“I thought that was your turn” Lucius smiled

Hermione sat up pushing Lucius back onto his feet. She summoned a chair and it hit him square behind the knees making him land hard on the seat. Hermione squinted her eyes and smirked as she vanished Lucius’ pants.

The look on Lucius’ face made all her practicing worth while. She was determined to hold her own with Lucius and she figured incorporating magic into her sex routine was a good start. Lucius seemed to be impressed with her effort.

She kissed Lucius; letting her fingers wonder over his arms and chest feeling the muscles under his cloak. She stopped when she felt the muscles of his penis in her hand and rubbed his cock. Lucius became distant in their kiss and Hermione knew he was enjoying her hand job.

She smiled and pulled back from his lips. She got down on her knees and took his length into her mouth. He placed his feet flat on the floor and held onto the chair as she pulsed her tongue against his cock.

Hermione twisted her mouth around his penis and licked up every drop of pre-cum. Lucius’ breathing got quick as she gently massaged his balls. She continued to switch between her mouth and two hands.

She watched the muscles in his thighs flex and his hand darted to grab the back of her head. She wrapped her lips around his rearing head and let his hot cum fill her mouth. Lucius stroked her hair and slouched back into the chair. She sat with her head resting on his chest, listening to his heart beat slow down.

“I hope you didn’t send my pants to Siberia” Lucius broke the silence

“They’re right here” Hermione said and summoned the pants to her

Lucius charmed them back on and Hermione slapped his arm

“No fair” She argued

Lucius just smiled and kissed her softly.

“Well despite the look of things I do have some work to do” Lucius said regretfully

“Will I see you for dinner?” Hermione asked

“Why don’t you come by the manor tonight” Lucius suggested

Hermione nodded and left after a quick kiss.

Lucius walked over to his desk and found his work strewn all over the floor.

“I need to stop mixing business with pleasure” Lucius said to himself as he began sorting out the mess.
