Serena Snape: Love of Magic - chapter 59 - Narcissa/Lucius PoV

November 22, 1976 – Narcissa Pov

"How are you?" Lucius asked softly as he placed a hand on my shoulder, I leaned into him and he held me immediately.

"I'm... wow." I said simply, really, I had no other way to say it. "Do you understand? " I asked Lucius, I could feel him nodding.

"Overwhelmed? Surprised? Incredulous? Excited? Highly strung? And much more ? " Lucius asked and I chuckled.

"Yes, exactly like that." I said amusedly, Lucius also chuckled lightly.

"Do you... do you regret letting Serena seal us?" Lucius asked carefully.

"Salazar, no!" I said quickly as I shook my head, "no, I'm… happy with that part, Serena… Serena completely trusted us to tell us a secret of that magnitude, I'm… flattered by that, and I can't really be mad at the opportunity that was presented to us, but… it's just a lot to take in in just a few hours." I said honestly, Lucius sighed and hugged me from behind and hid his face in the crook of my neck.

"I know, those... 'movies', our 'future', it really was... disturbing to see how it would all end if we had gone our own way." Lucius muttered under his breath.

"Hey, it wasn't all that bad." I said softly, I used my hand to trace Lucius' jaw line, "we were still together, 2 wars and we were still together, through thick and thin, and… we had a son, a beautiful son." I smiled at the memory of Draco, he was perfect, "I can't wait until I meet him, if… we're meant to be again." I said softly, Lucius hummed.

"Forever." Lucius murmured into my neck, I smiled brightly at him.

"Forever," I repeated softly, and we both fell silent, each other's presence reassuring to both of us.

…

"Powers and immortality are good too." Lucius said and I laughed.

" Yes , they are," I agreed with Lucius.

" Oi , Malfoy! I need you! " I looked up from the papers in front of me and looked ahead where the door had been flung open. I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows slightly. Bellatrix had Serena in her arms, carried like a princess. Serena had her face hidden in Bellatrix's neck as she gently kissed her neck.

"Bella? Serena? " Narcissa asked confused surrounded by fabrics and threads, we had both been in our room passing the time.

"What happened Bella?" I asked standing up and approaching the pair, Narcissa did the same, and I looked at Serena quickly.

Drunk with love.

"And why does my power tell me that she is 'drunk with love'?" I asked confused, my power didn't tell me anything else, if there was something wrong, even with the little information I could receive from her thanks to the defenses, she would let me know.

"Drunk with love?" Bella asked with a grimace before shaking her head. "I don't know, we were in the training room when she started acting like... like a drugged cat." Bellatrix explained with a sullen expression, I looked at Bella.

Enjoying, happy, in love.

I snorted audibly, thank you power, I really didn't need to know that and Bellatrix's denial issues. I sighed and looked at Bellatrix ignoring the feedback from my power.

"And… what do you expect me to do? Serena is the best of us at… healing or curses, or whatever happened to her." I said with a grimace, Bellatrix growled.

"I know, I just want to know what the hell happened to him." Bellatrix said and I nodded, well, that I could try to find out. "Serena, let Lucius look at you." Bellatrix said as she tried to separate herself from Serena, Serena hugged Bellatrix's neck tightly as she continued placing kisses on her neck.

" Bellaaa ~ I love you ~" Serena drawled affectionately, I could hear Narcissa laughing beside me.

"Oh Salazar this is worth gold" Narcissa laughed amusedly and I couldn't help but let a small smile grow on my face "Does anyone know how to use the 'phone' camera so I can record her? I'll be making fun of her for weeks." Narcissa asked excitedly.

"Here, let me go, honey." I said softly as I pulled out Serena's phone.

"I'll stick a stake up your arse if you keep that up Malfoy." Bellatrix growled, and I looked at her amusedly, her threat would have been more effective if she weren't slightly blushing and with a drunk Serena on top of her, I put the phone away in my inventory and raised my hands in surrender, really, I wasn't afraid of Bellatrix, but she would definitely be more than capable of following through on her threats if I didn't listen to her.

"Be good Bella." Narcissa scolded her sister, Bellatrix just growled.

"Just tell me what the hell is wrong with him," Bellatrix growled, a vein throbbing in her forehead.

"Okay, okay, okay." I finally said and looked back at Serena and pushed my power over her further.

Drunk with love, drunk with love, drunk with love, drunk with love.

"My power keeps telling me I'm drunk with love, what was I doing before… this?" I asked curiously, Bellatrix grimaced.

"I was reading that book Dumbledore gave me," she said and I nodded.

"The book is still in the training room, isn't it?" Bellatrix nodded, "I'll be right back," with that I quickly left the room and walked quickly to the basement, with one look I could find the book on the floor, I walked over to grab it and went back to my room.

Once inside I saw Bellatrix sitting on the bed with Serena on her lap, and Narcissa next to her taking pictures with her phone, I could see Bellatrix's eye twitch with each photo that Narcissa was heard taking, I suppressed a smile and approached.

"I got it," I said simply, grabbed the speed reading glasses and started reading. Really, these glasses were cheating.

Book written by Albus Dumbledore to teach the concepts of ancient magic, ancient magic is capable of magnifying emotions, both positive and negative, given the personality of Albus Dumbledore, the book only talks about how to magnify positive emotions, especially love.

Serena Snape seeks a way to suppress or neutralize the lust of her power known as La Verità de Magia Baiser without detransforming or losing all her power, which is impossible since the center of her power is lust.

I theorize that if he couldn't suppress lust, highlighting the other emotions would cause them to 'cancel' each other out, or at the very least make him less likely to lose himself in lust by focusing on other emotions.

The emotion chosen should be one much stronger than your lust.

Her love for Bellatrix.

Serena heightened her love for Bellatrix to the point that it is overwhelming her leaving her 'drunk with love', she unconsciously continues to use ancient magic to keep the love levels overwhelming her and leaving her unable to think or feel anything other than her love for Bellatrix.

Her theory was right, but he failed to calculate the levels to which ancient magic could magnify emotions.

Okay , that was a helpful power, thank you. I closed the book once I finished reading them and looked at both sisters and explained everything my power had come to.

" Aaawww , that's so cute." Narcissa squealed as Bellatrix growled with a small blush, I dared to use my power on Bellatrix once more.

Relieved, flattered, loves Serena, happy.

"Just tell me how to undo this" Bellatrix growled, I smirked at the dichotomy of my power and Bellatrix's attitude.

"Give me a second." I looked back at Serena.

You need to overwhelm love with other emotions. Knock her out. Wait for her to fall asleep. Use-

I informed them both of what my power had discovered and Bellatrix became thoughtful, she stood up again with Bellatrix in her arms and walked to the door.

"Thanks Malfoy, see you later Cissy." Bellatrix snapped as she walked out of the room, before she left I looked at Bellatrix once more with my power, I grimaced, I really didn't need to know what they were going to do with power.

Lust.

December 23, 1976 – Lucius Pov

I knocked on the door softly, and waited for Father to answer.

Abraxas Malfoy heard the call, waiting long to assert his dominance.

Thank you for your help, I couldn't have figured it out without you.

Mockery is not the product of a strong mind, Lucius Malf -

Yes, die power.

Lucius Malfoy's need to kill-

"come in" I never thought I would thank father for interrupting my thoughts, really, starting to argue with my own power was ridiculous, I opened the door and walked in to see my father standing.

Abraxas Malfoy excited, jubilant, longing. Hand on the letter, he has just received good news, news from a close acquaintance.

"As you know, there's a gala opening soon, get ready, there's someone I want you to meet, you have to impress him," my father said.

Abraxas Malfoy's voice is filled with respect and dedication, there are few people for whom Abraxas Malfoy would show such emotions. Tom Riddle, Abraxas Malfoy was talking about Tom Riddle, he hopes to introduce his son, Lucius Malfoy to Tom Riddle in hopes of pleasing him, he hopes that his son will also enter Tom Riddle's inner circle.

I almost felt as if my blood had frozen, but I suppressed all external movement.

"Of course father, may I know who this is?" I asked politely, father nodded almost with a happy smile on his face.

"It's the dark lord, he wants to meet you." He said firmly while glaring at me.

Abraxas Malfoy secretly threatens Luc-

I don't need something so basic to be able to figure it out myself.

"Of course father, I won't embarrass you." I said calmly, father nodded satisfactorily… perhaps… I could try? ... I took a deep breath before choosing my words carefully "although… father, there are… rumors, that the dark lord is… a half-blood… I took it upon myself to dispel those rumors obviously, but people keep talking." Father's expression flattened.

"Don't be silly Lucius, of course he is a pureblood , a direct descendant of Salazar, he will take care of taking us to the top, where we belong." Father said with conviction, I let my power flow.

Abraxas Malfoy is using occlumency, hiding information, hiding reaction, he put up walls when Tom Riddle's blood status was mentioned. Abraxas Malfoy knows about Tom Riddle's blood status as a half-blood. Abraxas Malfoy was Tom Riddle's classmate during school, he definitely knows about Tom Riddle being a half-blood. Abraxas Malfoy took it upon himself to hide Tom Riddle's blood status.

Abraxas Malfoy cares not for Tom Riddle's blood status, Tom Riddle is powerful, Tom Riddle seduced Abraxas Malfoy with words and power, ensuring him more of both. Tom Riddle appealed to Abraxas Malfoy's greed, Malfoy knows this, but believes Tom Riddle will grant it to him. Abraxas Malfoy knows Tom Riddle's power intimately, he saw Tom Riddle's power in person, he is convinced that he cannot be defeated.

Abraxas Malfoy, a die-hard fanatic of Tom Riddle by free will, a Death Eater by choice, will never separate from Tom Riddle as long as he continues to give him power, prestige and gold.

He won't let Lucius Malfoy leave the fold, capable of using Narcissa Black as leverage, he has no qualms about hurting her, blackmailing her, cursing her or some other way to coerce them both.

Abraxas Malfoy is more than happy with Tom Riddle's results, he attends the Death Eater 'raids' with glee, he enjoy-

Enough! I stopped my power babbling, I could feel the bile rising in my throat but I suppressed it once more, stand firm in front of father, he must not notice anything.

"Of course father, I had no doubt, I was just… warning you about the rumors that may circulate so you would be prepared" I said while licking my lips, father nodded and made a movement with his hand.

"Very well, I'll take care of it, you may go." He said simply "Oh, and one last thing, Miss Snape must also attend, the Dark Lord wants to meet her." He said simply and I stopped.

Abraxas Malfoy considers Serena Prince to be a valuable asset after proving her worth with potions by creating the Wolfbane Potion , despite the fact that he believes werewolves are unworthy of it. Abraxas Malfoy is willing to use Serena Prince in any way to keep her in Tom Riddle's good graces, no matter what the consequences for Serena Prince. Even if he is not able to use her, he will be able to use her in any way to keep her in Tom Riddle's good graces.

"Very well father, I will make sure she is prepared, although I am sure she will be attending with the Black family, I was with Lord Black at the ministry today to complete the paperwork for her and Bellatrix's betrothal. In addition to getting Serena elevated to Lady Prince without any issues, as of this afternoon, she is now Serena Prince, Lady Prince." Report to father, father stood still.

Abraxas Malfoy shocked, thinking quickly over the newly acquired information. Abraxas Malfoy satisfied with Lucius Malfoy's results. Abraxas Malfoy changing his plans on Serena Prince, planning to keep her under control and use her when convenient through Lucius Malfoy.

I almost let out a sigh of relief.

"Well done son, very well done." Before… those words had filled me with pride, with a feeling of warmth, but now… they simply felt empty, like ice in my veins, I knew what I had to do.

"It's nothing dad, it was something easy." I said modestly, dad nodded and didn't say anything else, it was my signal to leave, I turned around and walked out of the room.

I have… I have to get Serena's seal to use against father.

"We need to talk about Serena" I looked up to see Bellatrix seriously.
