"A Date with Destiny"

Part 17

Hermione had agreed to go out with Lucius, and as she got ready for their date, she couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. Excitement and nervousness battled for dominance as she styled her hair and applied a light layer of makeup. She had decided to keep an open mind and see where things went with Lucius. The next day, Lucius arrived at her doorstep, looking every bit the suave and sophisticated pure-blood he was. They went to a nice restaurant, enjoyed a lovely meal, and engaged in conversation that was both stimulating and pleasant. Hermione found herself laughing and feeling at ease in Lucius's presence, which surprised her. As the evening drew to a close, Lucius walked her home, his arm gallantly offered to escort her. As they stood outside her front door, he leaned in and kissed her softly on the cheek. "I had a wonderful time tonight, Hermione," he said, his eyes shining with sincerity. "I was wondering if I could see you again soon?" Hermione smiled and nodded, feeling a spark of attraction that she couldn't ignore. "I'd like that," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. The next day, Lucius made an appointment to meet with Severus Snape, his mind preoccupied with the conversation he was about to have. As he arrived at Snape's office, he was greeted by the potions master's piercing gaze. "Lucius, what brings you here?" Snape asked, his voice dripping with disdain. Lucius took a deep breath and launched into his explanation. "Severus, I've recently started seeing someone. Hermione Granger, to be precise. And I was wondering if we could... share her, to some extent." Snape's eyebrows shot up, and he raised an eyebrow. "Share her?" Lucius nodded. "Yes, I was thinking that we could both... be her partners, of sorts. I know it's unconventional, but I believe it could work. And I think Hermione would be open to the idea." Snape leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers together as he considered Lucius's proposal. "And what makes you think I would be interested in such an arrangement?" he asked, his voice laced with skepticism. Lucius took a deep breath. "Because, Severus, I know that you have feelings for Hermione. And I believe that we could both provide her with something unique and special. We could be her... daddies, of sorts." Snape's expression remained unreadable, but Lucius could see the faintest glimmer of interest in his eyes. "Go on," Snape said, his voice low and husky. Lucius launched into a passionate explanation of his vision, outlining the benefits of a polyamorous relationship and how it could work for all parties involved. As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a sense of hope. Maybe, just maybe, this could be the start of something special.
