It was the night of April 25th. The sky was dark but clear. The Diagon-Alley was full of adults leaving work or dinners. Everything was rather calm, the weather was ideal, and rare flowers had bloomed.

However, not everything was rosy for Lucius. It had been over 20 days since he had been alone—Narcissa had divorced him and taken Draco with her.

Still, that didn’t stop Lucius from going out on a night like this to the library to get a book to read. Now that he was alone, all he could do was work and read, so he was often seen at that bookstore.

What Lucius didn’t expect was that, as he left with book in hand, he would bump into someone, causing the book to fall into a small flowerbed filled with plants and wet soil nearby.

Lucius, exasperated, sighed before looking at you. “Couldn't you have been more careful...?” he said, clearly resigned. At this point, he felt somewhat lonely, though he masked it fairly well.
