Part Two: Now and Then
Chapter 2 of 4
nagandsevLucius’ captivated attention of one witch leaves him remembering earlier times of another. Written for Lucius Big Bang 2012.
oOoOoOoOo
Now... and Then
Giving the Malfoy patriarch a knowing look, the red-headed sultry witch leaned against the counter invitingly.
"You're not allowed to make the rules here! But now that I think of it, I would very much like to call you Lucius. One adult to another, Lucius, you must call me by my first name, Ginny, then."
Lucius took his cue and rose, crossing slowly to the counter, standing so close he could smell her natural scent mixed with the sweet fragrances of cognac and cake icing. He wanted to touch her. "Then, I must call you Ginevra...I'm sure your husband calls you by your pet name, and my terms of the game are that I would like to call you something different."
Ginny gave him an inviting smile which made his cock twitch. "Ginevra," he whispered, and ever so slowly their lips met. He raised his head, and his eyes searched hers, attempting to gage how far she wished him to go. It had been so long... so very long since he had flirted so freely with a witch for the sheer pleasure of it. True, I'd be grateful for any level of foreplay if she so wished. Of course, seeing her lovely mouth around my cock would be heaven... But as his heavy-lidded eyes glanced lower to her beckoning cleavage, his jaw muscles clenched, and his thoughts graphically pictured him ravaging her in the here and now on the massive kitchen table.
The touch of gentle fingertips grazing lightly downward on his forehead snapped him momentarily out of his salacious thoughts, causing him to instinctively close his eyelids as Ginny shushed him sweetly, "Close your eyes. Trust me."
As he heard Ginny pouring the cognac into glasses, Lucius kept his eyes shut in bittersweet torment. Trust you? You've made me putty in your hands, witch! Do with me what you will!
"Sample number one...," announced Ginny, placing the first cognac under his nostrils for him smell.
Lightly sniffing the fragrance, he quietly uttered, "Sweet, fruity. I would say flavoured with peach, mandarin, nectarine, and a tad of Dirigible Plum. Wizard made."
"Would you like to taste it?"
Would I like to taste you, my sweet? "Of course, my dear," he answered, his breathing becoming deeper.
His eyes fluttered open as he felt Ginny put the glass to his lips. "No peeking!" she teased in a low voice. "Close your eyes, I'll guide you. Trust me."
He smiled as she placed the glass to his lips.
"Now, sip it," she whispered, nudging him on.
He did. The cool fruity liquid with a tinge of smoked, aged wood went down his throat. He purred, "Mmm, very nice. Elf made."
His body bristled in pleasure as he felt not the cool glass placed on his lips, but her soft, also cognac-scented, lips pressing more firmly against his.
As they broke apart for air, he sniffed and dared to tease her. "One would think you're trying to take advantage of me, Ginevra."
"No comments until you've finished tasting everything."
"Very well. You're in charge. I'm all yours."
Frustration began to peek its ugly head as Lucius felt her lips again softly peck his cheek, but before he could react more amorously, another cognac had been placed under his nose for him to assess.
Taking a deep whiff, he impatiently commented, "Slightly bitter bouquet, fermented and aged with nut, perhaps a blend of two or more... Surely, some Muggle swill..."
"Try it, you'll like it!"
He felt the glass against his mouth and took and sipped it. The taste was exquisite, but he could care less, as his senses were now keenly aroused and fixated on the tangible female before him.
"Anything else you would like me to taste, Ginevra? Your wish is my command," Lucius purred.
"You're just to be a good boy and do what I say."
"Ah, so the game is you are in charge? Very well, Ms Potter, I'm all yours to play with how you wish."
"Anyway I wish, Lucius?" She half-joked, "Any position I wish?"
Ginny heard a low growl from Lucius before feeling his lips capture hers and his delving sharp tongue seek entrance to her mouth, hotly and deeply.
She pulled away from him, giving the blond wizard a curious look.
"You're playing with untameable fire, witch," he whispered fiercely. Barely able to control his impulses, he was at her mercy and couldn't speak as he waited for her further reaction to his obvious wishes. His body tightened in a spasm as she made physical contact with him, touching his waist. His voice was husky and thick as he said, "Understand: you're irresistible..."
She pressed her body into his, her large brown eyes gazing up into his steel grey ones.
"Call me, Ginevra," she reminded the blond wizard as he felt the unmistakable caress of her fingers stroking lightly over his firm erection. "And yes, I understand you."
His breathing became hitched and erratic, caught in his throat as she boldly watched his response to her increasing manual ministrations. Lucius' mind raced, a thousand thoughts flew by before his mind went empty. And he was only aware of her heavenly stroking; it was all he knew. He was only aware of pressing and slipping his tongue inside her full lips, circling and searching, provoking groans of pleasure as he encircled her slender but curvaceous body in his arms, grinding into her. Still, she held onto his rock-hard cock, only now her stroking his stiff shaft through his trousers increased in pressure and friction. She suddenly jerked his tip firmly outwards, eliciting a loud grunt from the restrained blond wizard. He grabbed her wrists; a tremble flowed through both their bodies, afire with heat and passion.
"Ginevra," he hoarsely croaked. "I...I won't be able to control myself...you don't quite know what you're doing."
"Oh, but I do, Lucius." With the quick reflexes of a Quidditch seeker, she Accioed her wand and flashed around, charming the kitchen with silencing spells and warding off its entrance from anyone wishing to enter. "The party's been moved upstairs for the kids. Dessert's not for an hour, and it's to be served in the second-floor playroom. The children are occupied with their own games there, so we can play our games here, as well as have our dessert a bit earlier, undisturbed." She held his gaze with a hard, brazen look as she unbuttoned his trousers, and then she felt inside, her skilled fingers releasing his now-stiff pulsing cock.
"It doesn't take Occlumency to know what you're thinking, Lucius, or needing... And I do think you will like what I have in mind for us adults. This."
Before Lucius could even try to retort, the red-headed witch dropped to her knees. His groan resounded throughout the kitchen as he felt her take his cock's tip into her hot luscious mouth. Her tongue began to slowly encircle the silky, sensitive skin as she took him in, deeper and deeper. He huffed and grasped, bracing himself against the counter, only to curse himself as he felt his legs begin to shake and his balls begin to tighten so quickly.
She felt him starting to lose control and released his cock from her mouth, only to gently guide him by squeezing his muscular thighs and pushing his legs gently to sit back in the Chesterfield chair she had transfigured for him. She coaxed, "Sit, Lucius. Sit"
Feeling as if in a dream, he complied.
As he sat, she reached up, pulling his trousers and underpants down to his ankles in one smooth movement. Sitting, he watched with bated breath as she knelt, climbing up between his legs, to resume her oral ministrations. Gasping in irregular breaths of exquisite pleasure, he gathered her thick red mane in his hands as best he could to watch her suck him off through his half-closed lids. He began to undulate his hips, unable to stop himself from thrusting, instinctively needing to fuck an orifice. Any orifice. But the witch took him deeper and deeper, his tip hitting the back of her throat, holding the base of his shaft firmly and alternating her rhythm with her sporadic pumping motions, demanding that he come in her mouth.
So he did. He emptied himself in jets of hot come, spurting out, down her throat. Lucius knew not what his name was nor where he was, nor did he care... It had been so, so long. After several seconds, he had a vague sensation of Ginny releasing him from her mouth, and a few more seconds went by until he felt, with burning pleasure, a lapful of witch on him. She had straddled him, and as his eyes fluttered open, she held another one of the cognac glasses in her hands. Taking first a long sip, she held it to his lips, her eyes sparkling with arousal, and whispered, "The night is young..."
"It is indeed!" he replied glibly. What a little hellcat... a fiery little vixen! He didn't sip but gulped down the smooth, burning liquor, not keeping his eyes off of her large brown orbs as he stretched his arm out, placing the emptied glass on the counter.
"Wizard made, strong and deep, smoked-cinnamon fermentation," he classified, his voice husky and thick.
They came together in a mutual heated kiss. Ignited, Lucius grasped and squeezed her luscious arse and then frantically gathered up her skirt. He felt her up slowly, stroking her firm silky thighs and only pausing when his palm rested on the heat of her Venus mound. Her knickers were soaked through, and he could detect the pleasant, arousing scent of her sex. With a growl, he launched himself up, carrying and pressing Ginny, straddled, against him, his fingers digging into her firm cheeks as his cock was pooling with pulsating blood rushing into it, standing at attention again. "I believe you said we could have our dessert earlier..." He panted, "You've had yours; now it's time for mine."
With his arms full, he plopped her down on the long table's edge and, in a quick swoop, buried his head between her thighs. Snatching aside her knicker's crotch, he burrowed his sharp tongue in her cunt for several seconds, sucking and lapping her juices like a man dying of thirst. Her squirming and cries of ecstasy spurred him to pause only momentarily enough to wave over the Chesterfield sofa and sit on its edge, relishing her heaving chest and wet pussy, and slowly he pulled off her knickers and placed her trembling legs on his shoulders, settling himself comfortably between them. Methodically, he spread her vaginal lips and gazed in appreciation at her swollen clit. He ever so slowly licked her cunt from down to up ending with teasing her sensitive nub with his sharp tongue's tip.
As Ginny writhed and gasped, "Oh, yes, yes...", he began to suckle her wetness as it began to gush out, and he could feel her vaginal muscles contract where his chin pressed into her folds. Lucius looked up and felt the strangest sensation. Ginny had stuck her hand in the cake, pushing it away, and her fingers were covered with creamy icing. She crunched up, sticking an icing-covered finger into his welcoming mouth, and then impulsively Lucius took her other frosting-covered fingers and placed them on her vaginal folds, gently swirling them around, spreading the strawberry and chocolate icing over her labia. "Fuck yourself, Ginevra," he whispered.
As she entered a finger inside herself, she felt Lucius' tongue licking around it, nudging her on as she increased her probing in and out.
Lucius licked and lapped the residue of frosting off her succulent folds and then increased the pressure of his mouth as he sucked tighter and tighter while his thumb found her engorged clit and pressed circularly, mimicking what his tongue was now doing, swirling around in steady rhythm. Her waves of orgasm peaked with her climaxing, grabbing and clawing at him, suddenly crying out, "Oh, oh, yes, yes!", coming.
Starved for the taste of a woman's sex, he continued to suck and lap at her, only resting to breathe momentarily with his head on her thigh and luxuriantly lost in the scent of her delectable sweet moistness and heat.
Abruptly, in the distance was the distinct voice of Albus Severus calling, "When will the cake be ready, Mum?"
Ginny jerked up into sitting position. "Ten more minutes, Albus! I'm bringing it up to you as I speak...stay right there!" There were excited yells of approval heard from above. She slowly regained her composure as Lucius slumped back in the Chesterfield, slowly finding his clothing and redressing himself.
As Ginny stood up, she saw that Lucius had an angry hard-on. Waving her soaked knickers to the washing band, she smiled, "I think being knickerless will be more convenient... for later." She gave Lucius a quick peck, leaving him in needy agony, as she pouted, "First thing's first: the cake must be finished...the darlings are restless."
"They're not the only ones," the tight wizard muttered as he watched Ginny tuck her skirt down in place again and quickly summon an extra bowl full of icing and begin swirling and covering the three-layered cake. Her swirling buttocks moved right and left; her skirt's swaying exposed her thighs. When Ginny bent at a certain angle, Lucius could just see a glimpse of her luscious buttocks with her soft fuzz, covering her juicy folds, guarding her nethermost orifices of pleasure. The taste of her sex lingered in his mouth, leading him to stand up and stealthily cross and stand behind her. He couldn't resist.
Ginny felt the cool air hit her buttocks, as her skirt was raised, and Lucius' hand massage and dig into her arse cheeks. She had finished the icing, but froze, enjoying his caressing and strumming, playing with her folds and gently probing her vagina. She felt him smear her pussy's juices onto her anal opening and gently, circularly, probe in and out of her arse, slowly but persistently pushing his thumb deeper into her soft rubbery opening. With a loud groan, she felt the tip of his burning cock enter her pussy, and in one smooth thrust he sheathed himself fully, his thickness spreading her tight cunt, causing her to remain motionless. He took his thumb out of her arse to grab her hips tightly, almost painfully, and pin her in place as he slowly pulled out and immediately pushed into her contracting vaginal muscles. The tight clenching of his cock by her sex caused him to, very controlled, pull out of her, only to more forcefully ram her. He began pumping her steadily, rhythmically, until his speed picked up, and he was pounding her pussy as if he had never fucked anything before or would ever again.
"Mum! We're waiting!" called Albus Severus again. Chorus sounds of rambunctious kids chanted, "We want cake! We want cake!"
Definitely a mood killer for Ginny, she had to pull away from Lucius, leaving him with a painful hard-on so that he whispered, "Bloody fuck!" She heard the Malfoy patriarch further growl at his intense state of blue-balled erection.
"Come with me, I'll show you to your room," said Ginny, taking matters into her hands.
"My room?" gasped Lucius, disgruntled and tentatively folding his rigid cock inside his underpants as, in agony, he dressed himself.
With an impish grin, Ginny asked, "No one told you this was a sleep over party, Mr Malfoy?" She laughed at his confounded expression, and without waiting for his response, Ginny took his hand and said, "Let me take the kids cake, and you," she motioned for him with her index finger, "follow me."
Showing him to the back salon, the sultry redhead left to tend to and pacify the raucous youngsters above and left the blond wizard to relax as best he could in his sexually frustrated state and make himself at home until she returned. Lucius took off his outer robe and slowly unbuttoned his waistcoat, anticipating to dispense with his clothing as quickly as possible when his hostess returned. "I want to feel her flesh with mine...," he muttered, impatient for her to return, so that they could continue and finish what they had started.
Lucius gazed rather blankly over the myriad of different photos framed and propped up on the walls and shelves. He huffed in distaste as a myriad of different Weasley family photos presented themselves and was mumbling, "They breed like rabbits..." under his breath when one photo made him freeze. It wasn't a Weasley photo at all, but rather an old picture, taken some time before the last wizarding war, of the Hogwarts staff members.
And there she was: Charity Burbage.
Lucius inhaled in a soft hiss. Beside the late Burbage stood Severus Snape; these two persons blandly blinked and gazed out of the photo. It made Lucius grip the frame tightly. He sat slowly down on the sofa, heavy in thought.
Memories of the witch flooded through him, flashing in his mind like a movie reel in reverse. That ill-fated day for her in Malfoy Manor and the witnessing of her horrid death and consumption by Voldemort's loathsome familiar, Nagini, caused a vile taste to rise in his mouth. And yet, he could not put the photo down.
Charity stood beside Severus, fidgeting and mirthful, trying to keep her poise for the staff photo, while Snape was arching an eyebrow and trying to contain a smirk forming upward on the corners of his usually firm-set lips. The other staff members were undulating and preening themselves in starts and stops.
Lucius felt as if all the air had been knocked out of him, and a dull pain began to burn in his chest. He lay back on the cushioned sofa, letting his head fall backwards, and closed his eyes tightly, reminiscing.

An interesting tale. Readers want Ginny to have a romping good time, but they also want her to cause no harm. How will the story do this? It will have to be clever.
First, enter Lucius, a papered over villain a la ‘Clockwork Orange.’ Ginny can exhibit virtue by being in control.
Ginny is surprised by his arrival: it is not something she planned or expected. One interpretation of the no-mind school of Buddhism is that one avoids negative karma by avoiding planning: reacting naturally carries no penalty.
She appears in an outfit displaying her voluptuous charms and giving her power, but since she supposedly is dressed for a children’s party, this is not intentional. She acts the natural, perfect hostess, forcing him to be polite. Control without penalty.
While the children are playing their games upstairs, the adults will play their games downstairs – an innocent birthday party.
When Lucius expresses he does not want to harm Ginny, Ginny replies that he has already done so by means of Riddle’s diary. Hence, nothing they do now can harm her further. A chapter from his past establishes that he has been evil enough that this encounter will not harm him further. In fact, if he treats Ginny well, it will be a sign that he has made progress. Finally, their past encounter is introduced as something requiring redemption and rehabilitation – both worthy goals.
For the future, they will meet again because of the wishes of others. Hence, there will be no penalty because there is no premeditation.
Altogether, a virtuoso tour du force.

, thank you so much for the generous, supportive review/feedback--and I'm so happy that the characters and elements of actions without penalties came across as intended, as I was trying to capture them acting and thinking spontaneously within the perimeters of the circumstances they were set in (though entailing some background that both Lucius and Ginny would be containing within themselves...), true to themselves at this given moment in time... Yes, to have them move forward from their past encounter and embrace the here and now of each other, of all of who and what each one is, etc. Again, thank you so very, very much for reading this and your thoughtful and thought-provoking and cherished feedback--truly, deeply appreciate it!!!
Good detour! :D Love it! ^_^ You are so talented! :D
Response from nagandsev (Author of Now and Then, and Now, Again)
Oh, thank you for continuing to read and the feedback--so happy that you enjoyed it! Lucius did deviate a bit there, didn't he? Naughty wizard--hehe! Seriously, thank you again for the read--truly appreciate it!
Really loved this: "leaving Lucius with his keen aversion for Arthur Weasley purely based on a general feeling of dislike and jealousy—with just a lingering mixture of raw agitation and vicious competition from years past. Dementors could suck out some things from one's mind, but old jealousies and pettiness die hard in one's deeper consciousness, " And I can hardly wait to see how your story unfolds! I for one,.. can't predict it,.. so it must be quite fresh! Because I'm quite a jaded experienced reader! :D

, for giving this a read and for the feedback! I was trying to set up Lucius' duality--his deep rooted association with the Weasleys to contrast with what he would soon experience with one special Weasley witch.;-)Again, thank you for giving this a read, even though it is a rare pair, etc.--truly appreciate it!
What a great ending! I don't normally care much for Lucius as a leading man, so any time someone changes my mind it is no small feat. I think sometimes he gets too fluffy (not sure if that is an appropriate word, even) in fanfic. You've let him keep his inherent qualities of being a user, being selfish, and doing whatever he has to in order to get what he wants. He is manipulative and aristocratic and so many other things. You haven't shied away from those things. You've explained why he is a softer version of his former self, but allowed him to retain the core Lucius principles.And the diary affecting Ginny ... I never saw that coming, but I like it a lot. Very well done!
Response from nagandsev (Author of Now and Then, and Now, Again)
Oh, thank you! I agree with you about fluffy--it's the perfect word, and it's perfect sometimes for some of Lucius' portrayals imho, but to each his own;-) It does make some happy:-) And when in the mood, even I enjoy seeing him *tamed*--lol! In this odd tale, I guess I had this thing about wondering how far he could be redeemed and on which levels, maybe more on some than others, etc. But then his past is always there... And then Ginny had to be carrying her own weight in this, and the thought came to me about that d*** cursed diary and how that could have affected her in its dark ways, so that Lucius and Ginny had a few things in common... and more as it turned out here Thank you again for your insight and feedback--really enjoyed your thoughts about things!

Wow, that was brutal. But exactly how I think Lucius would act given his love for power and status. I did like the contrast between their tryst at the beginning of the chapter and the one at the end. Both times she was forced into it, but the first was because she couldn't resist his smooth seduction. The second ... *shudders*. I am really interested to know what the next chapter will bring.

An interesting and unusual fic - with a fascinating insight into both Ginny and Lucius. I like the way that you have not changed him - he is still capable of cruelty and deception, as well as being a selfish and covetous man. Ginny, in turn, has not recovered from her experience as a child - she is still very damaged, and their paring therefore has an uncomfortable tang to it; something I think was very brave of you to illustrate. This is a fic that will not appeal to all, for sure, but I think it is thought provoking. Pxx

, thank you for having continued to read this to the end--I know the ending deserves a hairy eyeball glare, most likely, perhaps, a bad taste left... And I apologise for that! It was my first dabbling around with this pair, having to focus and concentrate on Lucius' state of mind for this particular community's challenge, and as a fledging writer, regarding him, his characterisation couldn't much develop beyond his sly, selfish self within the twenty-four hour time frame of this little scenario that I became fixated on... Written hastily, I couldn't form a sudden transformation with him or her, both sort of blared out as being truly damaged but needy individuals--in this particular moment... I do have some ideas about writing him/them (without lemons - lol!) with a truly redemptive energy winning out--but that's what summer holiday will (maybe) be for-as it'll take much more time and care to flush out the feasibilty of that (un)likely happening. Thank you again for your lovely, detailed feedback--truly appreciate it!

Brilliant! Actually, 'horrible, visceral and shameful'. Love the way you show him in true Death Eater mode, albeit trapped and (almost?) regretting his role. The cruel seduction of Ms B, the calculating way he maintains his position.... Great writing, nag! Next chapter, please! Pxx

, thank you so much for continuing to read this--I'm honoured to have your feedback--more backstory regarding the picture and the memories attached to it in the next chapter; thank you again, truly appreciate it!
This is such a lovely start. I really enjoyed the sexual tension between these two, especially since it was tinged with the darker aspects of their long association.
Response from nagandsev (Author of Now and Then, and Now, Again)
Thank you so much for the read and the lovely feedback--so glad to know that the tension is coming across enough along with the different elements of their past--tambra, I truly, deeply appreciate the feedback--thanks again!xxx

Unusual, twisty, hot—that's what I love about this story, and I'm glad you're posting it in chapters here so I can read at leisure rather than gulping it down as I did the first time! *applauds*

Ooh! Good to see you playing with an unusual coupling here. You always write Lucius so well. Looking forward to seeing where you take this.

Oh, stargirl, thank you for reading this pairing, giving it a chance, and for the lovely feedback regarding writing our Lulu--see what you did by introducing me to playing with him?-- now, noone is safe! - lol! Thank you again for the feedback--truly, deeply appreciate it!

“You did this terrible thing to me when I was but a child, and now, I’m plagued with these horrible, skuzzy thoughts,” said the luscious young woman, “but luckily, my husband is away on business.”
“I am truly, madly, deeply sorry for all the things I ever did,” said the handsome aristocrat, “but since I’m only halfway through my rehabilitation, I may be able to lend a helping hand.”
“Since you are weeping over that portrait of victims of the past evil, I see you are reforming. That, in combination with this darkness implanted in me which no one could expect me to control, makes what we are about to do acceptable,” said the tempting young wife. “The children are asleep. What are we waiting for?”
“My grandson is attracted to your niece, and insists on seeing her again. Fate is throwing us together,” said the partially-reformed and studly pureblood. “Perhaps we should keep in touch.”
(A suitably evil review, I hope. )

Hahaha! A wickedly evil and thoroughly delightful review--thank you! I'm honoured by your wonderful, concise summary of it all in a nut shell *grinning like the Cheshire Cat* Yes, where indeed would Wizardkind be without skuzzy thoughts... and willing participants? Thank you for reading and getting through all my clichés, and again, thank you for the delicious zinger of a review--truly appreciate it!
Naughty, naughty, naughty. I loved it. I'm not normally one for Ginny and Lucius, but this was very well done. I like how it's the dark taint of Voldemort that brought them together.

*squee* So happy that you gave this pairing a shot and enjoyed it--my cheerleader was a die-hard LM/GW shipper and it was fun to explore these two (and a good excuse to explore writing lemons for the heck of it--heeee!) and also explore that something *good* could come out of both being marked by Voldy in different ways... Thank you so much for all of the feedback--truly appreciate it,

Oh, so very dark and painful considering the present. Poor Lucius trying to grow beyond his past and there was a picture bringing it all back.
Response from nagandsev (Author of Now and Then, and Now, Again)
Thank you for the read and feedback--just wanted to explore the possible goings-on he might have experienced/carried out in the darker phases of his past life to contrast the person he is in the present, fully aware of who he is or wishes to be and who he was... Thanks again for the lovely, thoughtful feedback--truly appreciate it!xxx

Oh, poor Lucius. Talk about a double mood killer for him.
Response from nagandsev (Author of Now and Then, and Now, Again)
I agree, poor Lulu--there he was all set and ready to finish up his business, and then, a glimpse of the past to put a halt to it... Thank you so much for reading and the feedback--really appreciate it,

Oh my! Well that is a very interesting start. And a bit diabolical on Ginny's part.
Response from nagandsev (Author of Now and Then, and Now, Again)
Thank you for reading & the feedback--truly appreciate it! Yes, our Ginny's got a wee bit of something up her sleeve *wicked cackling* Thanks again!xxx
