London.
A luxurious hotel with a matching suite, discreet and exactly what we both wanted.
Even the muggles who stayed here were more sophisticated than the everyday person ..in that world.
It had felt slightly strange to walk among them, but curiously enough not many had looked at us in a strange way.
I was positively surprised, but didn't give them more credit.. Muggles will be muggles no matter how sophisticated they might seem to be.
The late departure form the manor yesterday had made them decide to spend the day like every other tourist..
It had been very nice, and I believe even Lucius enjoyed himself.
I have always had a certain curiosity when it came to one particular building, which they had visited before: The Tower of London.
As before while we were walking through the different rooms, halls, hallways and dungeons I thought of my sister Bella; Especially when we spotted some ancient torture instruments. Bella would have loved this place.
Ancient stone walls, former glory and rather gruesome torture instruments were left and a more modern restaurant chosen for a very late dinner.
It feels good to be away from home.
Today I let Lucius go without asking where he went or of whom he might see. If and when he found someone trustworthy enough; he would inform me.
I keep my fingers crossed.. Merlin knows both he and Draco need all the help they can get.
I felt slightly uncomfortable when I left the suite myself. I was going shopping..while my husband tried to save himself from furtherinvestigation..or worse.
Somehow it did feel a bit wrong to do this now; but he had himself told me to go, and not worry about what he had to do.
The streets of London.. so familiar they are.
Last time I was here it was together with Dromeda, we had just started talking to each other again..
This time I was on my own, not that it bothered me; I never had problems being alone.
My shopping spree started out at Louis Vuitton on New Bond Street, spending a couple of hours there and probably a bit of my husbands money as well..
After having visited several other shops I decided that the service was still excellent; if you went to the right places, being the right kind of person that is.
Time flies when you are having fun, and it’s quite possible to have fun even in times like this.
Returning to the hotel suite, my feet were sore but my mood was good.
On my way back I had stopped at an antique shop out of curiosity; when I left I had with me several old books.
While waiting for Lucius to return I took with me one of them and decided to take a bath. Peace and quiet; No disturbing owls, house elves or aurors. Just me and the book..until my dear comes back.
