Surprisingly dark and layered, 2003â˛s underrated Peter Pan movie is my favorite Pan story. Please read and watch the movie (instead of the awful 2015â˛s Pan ;) )!
Look even a little past the surface, and Peter Pan is revealed as the tragic figure he is at heart. Yet only one version of the story has really acknowledged this. Not coincidentally, itâs by far the best one: P.J. Hoganâs 2003 film Peter Pan.
The Peter Pan of this film (Jeremy Sumpter) is a wounded creature. Like many troubled children, he reacts with hostility and violence when attacked, though the dangers that set him off here arenât the physical kind posed by Captain Hook, but emotional ones that are threatening in their adultness. The film sees through his familiar traits, revealing his trademark cockiness and mischievousness as masks over underlying pain. When claims he wants only to be a boy and have fun, Wendy calls bullshit: âI think it is your biggest pretend.â
Remember that Panâs ability to fly is contingent on not just fairy dust, but optimism; if he lets unhappy thoughts into his head, he will quite literally fall. This doesnât result in a joyful character, but one in denial. When he plays a kind of word association game, pairing âjealousyâ with Tinker Bell and âangerâ with Hook, he claims ignorance at the word âlove,â hissing that âthe sound of it offends me.â While itâs never underlined in close-up, thereâs a scar running across Sumpterâs heart.

Fuck, marry, kill- Ratliff edition
If you have to choose one of the Ratliff men for each action above, what would it be?
Here are my choices:
Fuck Tim. I mean, take a look at this dandified wealthy daddy- can't forget his nice cock. Besides, I think that man needs to unload a lot of pain, sorrow and tension into something. Or someone. And don't give this man a gun!
Marry Saxon. For me it's clear as sun because he's the most attractive one. Also, after his brotherly trauma he might finally get his shit together. Maybe fixing his dad's finances will make him the cast-iron bum Alpha he should be. So yeah, I want these family jewels next to me.
Kill Lochlan. No doubt he is cute, kind and sensitive, but drugs or no drugs- you shouldn't have sex with your siblings! I know that family got issues but no monk will help him with his beyond the pale sexual desires. Sorry but once you eat the forbidden fruit you get punished.
Feel free to comment your choices :)
Right in front of his kids- from episode 4
Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby present to you Timothy Ratliff/Jason Isaacs, in all his glory.
Live long and prosper
YES!!
WE NEED JASON ISAACS IN PEAKY BLINDERS.
And we need It NOW.
About once a year I revisit Event Horizon. I love this movie, but each time is for a different reason. Sometimes because it's a ridiculous horror. Sometimes because it's a great horror. Because I love the actors in it. Because the Lewis and Clark's bridge set was NOT designed with the approach to the Event Horizon in mind.
This last time when I watched it I noticed the cinematography. This movie was definitely written and budgeted to be a crappy summer film, yet there was a beautifully effective dolly zoom when Weir was in the tunnels. It helped demarcate the line between "this ship is old and malfunctioning" and "this ship is haunted". It set the tone for the rest of the visions the crew experienced. I've tried for years to recapture the terror in that scene.

Very tough choice but, for me, it would have to be Jackson Brodie.
Based on Jason Isaacsâ portrayal of Jackson Brodie in the BBC adaptation of Kate Atkinsonâs âWhen Will There Be Good News?â
Summary: Jackson accidentally declares his love to OFC after being in a train crash. Inspired by the interaction between Jackson and Louise in the BBC adaptation.Â
Rachel sat by the hospital bed, watching him sleep. His breathing was shallow and barely audible over the humming and beeping of machines. She hated hospitals, always had, and avoided them whenever possible. The smell, the endless people milling around, it reminded her of things she would rather forget but never could. She closed her eyes tightly, as if trying to force the memories back into the past and returned her gaze to Jackson. He had a large dressing on his forearm, a smaller one on the side of his head, numerous cuts and grazes to his face and what looked like extensive bruising on his chest. The doctors had assured her that it looked worse than it actually was; a fairly nasty head injury and a couple of broken ribs but he was going to be ok. Thank god.
He wasnât even supposed to be here. He was supposed to be in Scotland for at least another couple of days. She had been working late and had missed his call. He had left her a message. âHi, itâs me. Hope youâre ok. Look, Iâm heading back early andâŚâŚermâŚâŚ I  wondered if you were free this eveningâŚâŚ for a drink orâŚâŚmealâŚâŚ.orâŚ..ermâŚâŚâŚwell, youâre obviously not freeâŚâŚ. probably working âŚâŚ ermâŚâŚ I should be back by 8, Iâll try you again thenâŚâŚâŚbye.â She had smiled to herself, he was absolutely shocking at speaking on the phone, and checked the time, 9.15pm. Strange, there had been no other missed call or message. Looking at the pile of paperwork still on her desk, she had decided it could wait until tomorrow and dialled his number while shutting down her computer and switching off her lamp. No answer. She had tried again while heading to her car, still nothing. Maybe he had got caught in traffic, or just changed his mind. Just as she was about to set off for home, her phone had rang. It was an unknown number. âHello?â
âHello, is that Rachel Morgan?â
âSpeaking, can I ask who is calling?â
âIâm calling from St. Thomasâs Hospital; do you know a man by the name of Jackson Brodie?â
Her stomach had lurched, there was a pounding in her ears, her hands began to shake.âYesâ
âHe asked us to call you and we found your number in his phone. Iâm afraid heâs been involved in an accidentâŚâŚ.â
She hadn't  heard the rest, she had dropped the phone and headed straight to the hospital.
Jackson suddenly let out a low moan and started to stir, pulling her back to the present. His eyes opened slightly, and he turned his head towards her. She leant forward in the chair and gently laid her hand over his, âHey, itâs about time you joined me. Itâs bad manners to keep a lady waiting you know?â He squeezed her hand and a small smile flickered at the corner of his mouth. âHow are you feeling?âÂ
Jackson frowned âWhereâŚ?â His breath caught in his throat and he looked confused.Â
âYouâve been in an accident. Iâm told you picked a fight with a train and, apparently, you didnât come out of it on top. Youâre in hospitalâ He closed his eyes again and grimaced âAre you in pain?â She stood up and leant over him to press the call button for a nurse.Â
He opened his eyes again, struggling to focus on her face as he groggily said, âYouâre so beautifulâ.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled. She reached down and gently stroked his face with her fingertips, careful to avoid the cuts and bruises. âThey said you had hit your head; I didnât realise it youâd hit it that hardâŚâ. Sitting back down on the chair, she saw him close his eyes again and watched his chest rise and fall as he took deep, laboured breaths, struggling for air, pain etched onto his face. She slipped her hand into his and held it tightly âItâs ok Jackson, take it easy. Youâre ok. Iâm hereâ Â
His expression relaxed and his breathing began to ease. He looked directly at her, just for a moment, gripped her hand and muttered âI love youâ before he closed his eyes and his breathing became shallow again.Â
She hadnât expected that. She was shocked, it felt like the rug had been pulled out from under her.Â
Just then the nurse entered the room âEverything OK?âÂ
âWhat? Oh, sorry, he came roundâŚâŚ.he was talkingâŚ..just for a momentâŚ.he was in pain and struggling to breatheâŚ.âÂ
The nurse walked over and Rachel let go of Jacksonâs hand, rising from the chair and stepping aside and out of the way. She watched as the nurse checked his over and her sight became blurred. She couldnât breathe, she panicked and left.
She almost ran out of the hospital. This wasnât what she signed up for. She didnât have serious relationships, in fact up until recently she didnât really have relationships of any description, serious or otherwise. She had met Jackson during a case a few months ago and he had made an impression on her from the start. As an ex-policeman turned private investigator, he should have been of immense irritation to her, like he was to pretty much all of her colleagues. She had heard rumours about him, both before he left the force and afterwards, but she always preferred to make up her own mind about people instead of listening to idle gossip. Besides, he had interested her. There was something about him that made her want to get to know him better and apparently the feeling was mutual. When the case was over, he had asked her if she would like to go for a drink and she had accepted. She hadnât planned for anything to come of it, but she had liked him in spite of herself and it became a regular thing. It hadn't taken long for them to take the leap from friendly banter over drinks to something much more. Sure, they were getting on well; he was nice, he didn't place any expectations on her and seemed to accept her for who she was which was a miracle in itself, really. But she had made it clear that she couldnât offer him anything serious and he had said the same. She thought he was ok with how things were, that they were on the same page. Now he was saying that he loved her. She got into her car and took a deep breath. Maybe it was just the accident, or the medication. He was really groggy. He probably didnât even know who she wasâŚâŚâŚ But what if it was the truth? What if he did love her? Oh Fuck, what if she was falling for him as well? What then?
She looked back towards the hospital and thought of him lying there broken. A tear came to her eye and she turned the key in the ignition and drove away.
*
Bloody bike. She absolutely loved the freedom she felt while she was riding it, but maintaining the damn thing was a nightmare. The carburettor needed cleaning along with some other minor jobs, so she put her playlist on and got to work. She had spent a lot of time working on it over the past couple of days, it helped her think. The thing with Jackson at the hospital had floored her and she had handled it badly. That was three days ago. She had called the hospital every day to find out how he was but had not visited or contacted him directly. That was really shitty even by her standards. They didnât live in each otherâs pockets by any means, but she had missed him while he was away in Scotland and when she had received the phone call from the hospital, she had been terrified that she was going to lose him and now she probably had anyway. Why would he be interested in her now? Maybe it was for the best, she was a mess and he deserved better.Â
Never the less, she couldnât get him out of her mind. She felt bad for how she had treated him, she had behaved disgracefully and the very least he deserved was an apology. So, she resolved to finish up with the bike, clean herself up and go and see him. Although, that was assuming he even wanted to see her and why would he? Even if he did, what the hell was she going to say to him? âIâm sorry I bailed on you when you were seriously injured in hospital, butâŚ..â But what? What could possibly excuse that? She wasnât concentrating and caught the back of her forearm on a sharp bit of metal âBollocks!â Pulling her arm away sharply, there were already droplets of red falling from the deep gash and dripping onto the floor âWell, thatâs just brilliant.âÂ
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Great timing whoever that is, âHang on a secâŚâ she called as she scrabbled up from the floor and looked for something to wrap around the cut, finding only a stray sock on the radiator. Well, it would have to do, at least it was most likely clean.
She got to the door, almost falling over her cat on the way, and opened it to find Jackson on the doorstep. He seemed a little surprised to have been confronted by a grease-covered Rachel, spanner in hand, with AC/DC echoing through the hall. But not as surprised as she was to see him. He should still be in hospital. His left arm was in a sling and his face was mottled with bruising. He looked exhausted. âJackson, Hi. Are youâŚâŚ..How are you?â
âYeah, Iâm goodâ He seemed guarded, anxious. âI was just wonderingâŚâ
âWondering about what?â
His gaze shifted to the side. âThe hospital. I remember you being there, then you werenât. Did something happen? Did IâŚâŚ.?â
She didnât know what to say. He knew that something happened but not what. Maybe it was better to keep it that way. âNo⌠nothing happened. I justâŚâŚâŚIâm sorry, I shouldnât haveâŚâŚI should haveâŚ..â
Jackson stepped forward and looked directly at her, holding her gaze. âRachel, I may not know what happened, but I know something did. You were with meâŚ..then I woke up again and you were gone and I havenât heard from you since. Call me paranoid butâŚâŚ..Did IâŚâŚsay something?â he said, with a slight quiver in his voice.
She paused for a moment, considering what to say. âYou were pretty out of it...I mean, you had been in a train crash, obviously you were out of itâŚâŚyou said, wellâŚ..you told me you loved me.â
Jackson suddenly seemed vulnerable. His eyes watered and he looked away, slowly nodding his head before quietly saying âRight, well, not exactly how I had planned to handle it.â
Rachel gasped in mock surprise âJackson Brodie, you mean to tell me that you actually had a plan?!â He glanced back up at her and smiled briefly before looking away once more. Her own smile faded as she studied him for a moment, considering what he had said and what it meant. âSo, it wasnât just the fact that you had taken on a train and lost then?â
He shook his head and shrugged âNo. Well, I didnât mean to say itâŚ.not like thatâ
âYou didnât mean to say it, but you meant it?â
âYes, I did⌠I doâ
She bit her lip and shifted her weight from one leg to the other, unsure what to say. Itâs true that she hadnât planned for her relationship with Jackson to become anything serious, but she feltâŚ..how did she feel? She thought back to the journey to the hospital, the panic that threatened to overwhelm her that he would die. The pain at seeing him so badly hurt in the hospitalâŚâŚhad she fallen for him too? She guessed there was only one way to find out. âOkay.â Â
He looked back at her with a searching expression âIs it?â
She paused for a moment, before smiling âYesâ
He looked down again and nodded before smiling himself âOkayâ.
âDo you want to come in?â
âItâs ok, youâre busy. I donât want to intrudeâŚ..â Just then, he looked down at her arm âYour armâŚâŚwhat happened? Are you ok?âÂ
She looked down and saw that the white sock that she hand wrapped around her forearm was now stained red and blood was dripping onto the floor. âOh, I caught myself on the bike. Itâs fine, really. Itâs nothing.â
âIt doesnât look like nothing, let me see.â As he bent forward he seemed to lose his balance and put his hand out to steady himself on the door frame.Â
âJesus. Jackson are you ok?â She dropped the spanner she had been holding and slipped under his arm, wrapping her own arm around his waist to support him. Just in time. He suddenly went deathly pale and looked as if he were about to pass out. She helped him inside and through into the living room, gently lowering him onto the sofa before crouching in front of him and holding his face in her hands âJacksonâŚ.Jackson whatâs wrong? Iâm calling an ambulanceâŚ.âÂ
She stood to get her phone out of her pocket but he shook his head  âNoâŚ.Iâm alrightâ
âYou are absolutely not alright. The hospital shouldnât have let you out so soonâŚ.â
He groaned âThey didnâtâ.
She looked up from her phone, raised her eyebrows and tilted her head to one side âWhat?â
Jackson leaned forward, resting his head in his hands, and took a deep breath through his nose, holding it for a moment before exhaling through pursed lips. âI kind of checked myself out. I hate hospitals.â
âJesus Christ Jackson. No one likes hospitals, but they come in pretty handy when you have been in a train crash. Come on, Iâm taking you back.â
He reached up and took her hand âNo, please Rachel. Iâm fine honestly. I just need a minute.â
She looked at him, he really didnât look fine. In fact, he looked bloody awful. âYou need more than just a minute. What the hell were you thinkâŚâŚWoah!â Jackson had suddenly pitched forward and she lurched forward and caught him holding him upright with both of her hands on his shoulders. âOkâŚ.Iâve got you. Letâs get you laid downâ Rachel slid her hands down his chest and around his back, holding him tightly as she lowered him slowly to the side and then onto his back before lifting each of his legs and resting them on the sofa arm. She then undid the buttons around his collar and as she began to loosen his belt, Jackson let out a small groan and muttered âSteady on, I have just been hit by a train you know?â Although his eyes were closed, a smile spread across his lips.
âYouâre an idiot, you know that?â
âIt has been pointed out once or twiceâ
She laughed in spite of herself and shook her head âWhat the hell am I going to do with you?â
âWell-â
âDonât answer that. Back in a secondâÂ
She headed to the kitchen to get him a glass of water and contemplated calling an ambulance. He had been in a serious accident and really didnât seem well but, against her better judgement, she decided against it. She walked back to the living room and found him sitting up, leaning back against the sofa and resting his head against the wall and staring at the ceiling. âFeeling better?â
He slowly sat forward and smiled âYeah, sorryâ
She offered him the glass âItâs ok, I wonât hold it against you. Here, drink this.â
Jackson took the glass and slowly sipped the water as she walked over to the window, opening it wide to let in some fresh air. Behind her, she heard him place the glass down on the table and turned to find him staring at her. âRachelâŚ.are weâŚ.I mean, I know you saidâŚ..butâŚâ
She walked over to the sofa, sat down next to him, put her finger on his lips and smiled âShut up Jacksonâ. She leaned in closer, her hand reaching round to the back of his neck, pulling him towards her until her lips were almost touching his ear and whispered, âI love you too.âÂ
He inhaled sharply and pulled away. Their eyes met and he cupped her cheek in his hand as he kissed her lips, her cheek, her jaw, then her neck as he held her tightly against him. His breathing rapid, his hands, searching and hungry, she whispered into his ear once more âAnd now, Iâm taking you back to the hospital.â Â

Masterlist
Blurb: itâs a year after the battle of Hogwarts. Youâre one of Dracoâs closest friends, and you are over at the manor to spend time with Draco. You walk passed the office of Lucius Malfoy and see him holding his broken wand, a numb expression on his facial features. Your family were known to have special abilities, so you decide to put yours to good use.
(Reader is female) (gif/image not mine)
Your hand reached forward to knock on the elegant door of Malfoy Manor, letting your presence be known. Draco opened the door as he was expecting you. âHey, come in!â He smiled, happy to see you. You stepped inside and pull him into a hug. His arms wrapped around your shoulders without hesitation, like it was muscle memory for him. âHello, Blondieâ you joked and you heard him scoff, but you knew he found if amusing. âCâmon, Letâs go to the library!â He said, and you both eagerly started walking to the most common room you both hung out in. âI, brought a new record for us to listen toâ you said, lightly taping the bag you had brought along. Dracoâs eyes snapped to yours and his smile got brighter. After everything that happened in the war, the two of you stuck by each other. Always ready to embrace and share thoughts, feelings and concerns. You both found reading and music, helped you both cope with the events that occurred. You smiled back at him, feeling just as joyful as he.
As you both got comfortable on your usual sofa, by the fire place. With the new record playing, books of your choice in your hands, wrapped in blankets you gifted each other last Christmas. Both custom made to make them extra special, kept you both warm as you read. The only talking that occurred was when something happened in your books that you needed to share with each other. â(Y/N)! He finished the first quest of his journey!â He littered your shoulder with rapid, light taps. Your eyes looked at his book and read the title. âOh cool! The book gets SO much better now, trust me!â You read the book before and loved it to pieces. You were happy to know now you guys could rant about the book together once he was done. âHey, Iâm just going to the bathroom. Be right back!â You explain, getting up and fixing your skirt as you did so. Draco nodded with a âmhmâ, too focused on the book. You left the room and headed to the nearest bathroom, walking right in and locking the door. You relieved yourself and went to wash your hands. As you did you looked in the mirror to see how you looked, and you smiled. Your cheeks were a little red from being warm by the fire and you looked relaxedďżź, which was a huge improvement. Considering how long it took for you to be able to be the level of content you currently were compared to a year ago. You were honestly proud of yourself and Draco, who you could also see a huge difference within his demeanour. He was smiling a lot more and his guard was down, which always brought an even bigger smile to yours.
You were done washing your hands, so you left and headed back down the hallway. You walked by many rooms, but one had its door slightly ajar. You swallowed, now slightly nervous. It was Lucius Malfoyâs office, which you had only been in if it was serious. The last time you were in there was when you had gotten your Dark Mark, you subconsciously grabbed your left arm where the mark was faded, and was still fading. In no time it would be reduced to nothing but a scar. Your curiosity got the best of you and you had a small peak in, and the sight made your heart sink to your stomach. The former Death Eater, sat at his desk with his broken wand in his hands. His face was blank as he stared at the two pieces, you knew it was ethically wrong to even think of doing so. But you used Legilimency to find out what was going on in his mind. âWhat I would give to cast spells againâ the thought struck a cord in your heart, you touched your wand in your skirt pocket, and thought about how it would feel to not be able to cast spells again.
You thought about your family and their abilities. Your Mother could fly, which saved a lot of witches and wizards in the war. Your Father had the ability to absorb. He could absorb the strength of a beast, absorb the durability of any metal and use it to his will. Your Brotherâs was sonic scream, he could break glass all the way in Australia from the United Kingdom. You had the ability to Heal, at the beginning you hated it for it was, in your eyes âLameâ. But once you mastered it, you grew to love it. The last time you used it, was to heal the Death Eaters after the events of the Tri Wizard Tournament and after the failed attempt at getting the prophecy. So you were nervous to use it after all this time, but you were ready to give it a shot.
You knocked on the door and waited for acceptance from Lucius. âEnterâ you heard a draw shut and you entered. There he sat, acting like he was going over paper work. Which saddened you more. âAh, Miss (Y/N). What can I help you with?â You could tell his smile was fake and forced. You had a small one resting on yours. âWell, I donât mean to invalidate your privacy Mr Malfoy. But I know what happened just now, that isnât paper workâ the colour drained from his face, fear and worry paint itâs way on to his facial features. âNo need to worry Mr Malfoy, Iâm here to helpâ he now grew confused, his hands gripped the arms of his armchair. âW-what? HelpâŚme?â You nodded, he became frustrated. âWhy would you help me?!â His face held disgust, in himself. He thought, he was meant to have the bad mistakes he made, be a reminder of how horrible of a man he was. âMr Malfoy, you and I both know that you may have made horrible choices in your life. But you did them to protect your family and those you care deeply for. So let me help you.â You spoke calmly, not to provoke any negative reactions from the Malfoy. You reached your hand out, a small âpleaseâ came from your lips. He looked around the room, looking no where in particular. âWhat if it doesnât work?â He gripped the draws handle, âthen you move on, and be grateful that we triedâ he sighed, opening the draw and grabbing the wand pieces. You moved your fingers in a âgive meâ motion and the pieces were in your hands. You inspect it, having to observe what you are about to heal being part of your ability. Once you gave the pieces a good look, you placed them down on the desk in front of you. You gave him a look and he nodded. You shut your eyes and let your ability take control of your blood stream. The familiar warmth grew in your fingers and you focused. The light green aura could, could be seen through your closed eyes. The process begun.
You open you eyes and looked at his wands pieces. As you did, they rose off the table and floated in the air. Small sparks flew from the broken edges, magic flowing through them. You smiled, that was a good sign. You breathed deeply and brought your hands together, leading the pieces to come together. As the broken edges met the sparks grew large and strong, causing them to make your powers resistant. But you wouldnât let them win, you wanted nothing more than to see this mans suffering end and his smile to shine bright once more. Your eyebrows met in a concentrated expression. The room ďżźfilled in the aura of your ability. âMr Malfoy, I need you to put your hand on my shoulder because when fixing an object of someone elseâs. I need a person connection infused into my ability. Quick!â You instructed and he was by your side in seconds, his right hand rested on your shoulder and your abilities aura grew stronger. It felt like you were going to explode from the sensation. You took a deep breath and with one, single clap the process was complete.
The wand floated down, onto the dark desk. In one piece. You fell back, weak from using your ability after a while of not using it. Lucius caught you and helped you sit on his chair. He got you a glass of water from his drink station and passed it to you. You weakly thanked him, ât-try, cas-casting a⌠s-spellâ you were out of breath and energy. But had enough to see if it worked. He picked it up and inspected it, in shock and hoped it would work.
âExpecto Patronum!â He had the motion and the pronunciation down like it his wand never got broken by Voldemort. The smile that grew on you face was bright and full of pride as an Albino Peacock illuminated the room. His eyes welled up with happy tears and a smile shone as brightly as yours. He was laughing with glee as the animal glided around the room and touched foreheads with the older Malfoy before fading away. Lucius stood there speechless, he turned to you with a dazed look. âIt workedâ you whispered as you fell unconscious. Lucius put his wand into his pocket, he rushed to your side to see if you were ok. He felt for a pulse and it was there, you were just in need of rest. He picked you up and walked out to the hallway. Narcissa was running with haste down the hall, with a worried expression etched onto her face. âWhat happened?!â She panted, Lucius answered her with a smile âletâs get her to the guest room, then I shall explain!â He prioritised. She nodded and followed him to the guest room, right next to the library.
Draco came out the door of the library, uttering a âwhatâs taking her so lo- Father?â He looked at the girl in his fathers hands and raised an eyebrow, âwhat happened?â He closed the door and walked with his parents into the guest room. Lucius placed her down and made sure she was comfortable. Once sure she was ok, he stepped back and sat down at the end of the bed. He got out his wand and the two gasped. âShe didnât!â Narcissa whispered in shock. A smile was permanent on Luciusâ face, âyes, she did! She saw me playing around with the broken pieces and she was ready to help me, without a second thought.â He looked down at the unconscious girl and smiled âI am forever grateful! I donât know what to do to thank herâ he had a slight look of stress on his face, not knowing how to show his appreciation. Narcissa held his hand and he looked at her in desperation. âWhy not hold a dinner for the four of us tonight? in her honourâ his body relaxed at the idea. âPerfect! Iâll go get it sorted right now!â He raced out of the room, wanting to waste no time. âHeâs not been this happy in a long, long timeâ Draco smiled, happy to see a change in his Father. âCoke, let her restâ Narcissa beckoned Draco, and they both left the room.
~three hours later~
Your body shone bright green as it self-healed. You opened you eyes and sat up, you were slightly lightheaded from how fast you sat up. So you took a second to collect yourself. You got up and went to the joined bathroom to wash your face to freshen up. As you got out of the bathroom you were met by Narcissa âoh youâre up! Good! How are you?â You had a small smile as you realised it was her. âIâm great, Iâm hungry, but Iâm greatâ she grabbed your hands in one hand and placed the other on your chin. âThatâs good to hear! Come!â She pulled you out of the room and down the stairs to the dining room. You checked the time quickly and saw it was dinner time.
The doors open and you saw the room decorated in your favourite flowers and colours and a big âthank youâ sign hung above. âWhatâs all this?â You spoke, bashfulness consuming you. Lucius stood from his chair and held a glass in his hand, full of wine. âTo thank you for restoring my happiness and giving me a chance to be a better man and Father, so tonightâs dinner is in your honour!â Your cheeks grew a deep red, not used to this kind of attention. Voldemort wouldnât even thank you, heâd just nod and walk off. So being praised for your ability, was new to you. âYou are very welcome Luciusâ you sat down next to Draco and you all ate and chatted about a whole bunch of things. Books, music, what Lucius wanted to do now that he had access to magic once more and how he would celebrate you âtill the day his body laid 6 feet under. You couldnât get the beaming smile off your face.
You all continued to chat well into the night, not wanting such a Special moment to end.
