Knockturn Alley, while known to be a darker side of the wizarding world at times was actually a very well used alley for those witches and wizards who wished to let loose and be anonymous. Pubs and clubs were scattered around London in various wizarding areas but Knockturn Alley held one of the most elusive clubs that one could get into in wizarding England. After the war Lucius Malfoy had narrowly evaded Azkaban, yet again. Narcissa Malfoy had him controlled with various potions that she had brewed and kept him fed with. After the fall of Voldermort she had , like her sister gone a bit mad and when she was captured had went wild and refused to be taken in. Lucius had cowered in the corner with Draco, his only son and heir…both horrified and terrified of the woman they called wife and mother. Neither having wanted to serve the dark lord…yet both cowards.
Lucius was a proud man but he knew when he needed to not let that get to him. He had of course been on probation so he was strictly monitored but that had been nothing. The big blow had been when almost everything had been taken from them in reparations to the war. The only thing he managed to keep had been a little bit of off shore funds that he had managed to keep and the Family Manor. How he had managed that was a long story but he was glad he had. Even if most of the lands around it were owned by the Ministry. He however, being barred from the Ministry found it difficult to find a job he had never held one before actually. He had however listened to his son whine one evening about the lack of places for others his age to let loose of all the tension after the war.
It was in that statement that he had thought and thought. A good way to relieve tension was to get rid of energy by fighting, dancing, exercise or sex. Lucius was not a man that worked out..he ate healthy…enough said on that. Dancing was…well he did not know what the younger generation listened to but he was sure if it was like Draco’s preference in music he would bleed from his ears. He had done enough fighting… so sex. He however knew that sex was a horrible way to make money and with him trying to preserve his name, he would not resort to that. However there was something that he was into that was, while pushing a taboo..was not horrible. Burlesque and bondage. He loved a good silk binding him as well as seeing a beautiful man or woman bound in silks just for him as he had them begging. Sometimes it would end in sex…most times but some times it was a way to relieve stress.
Many times during the war Severus would come to him after a torture session from Voldermort and he would make Severus feel better…because at least with him he would not kill him for crying. The note fluttered to his desk from the owl at the window. His fingers plucking it up and running his eyes over the handwriting of his friend and business partner. Nothing could stop his skin getting goosebumps as he read the words that Mrs. Granger would be joining them that evening and we wanted a *Mostly* private room. He could not help the smile to cross his lips as he thought of his friend and shook his head.
“ Of course…the brightest witch of her age…and a mu…muggle born to boot…you would” he said to himself before going to make sure his best room was prepared for them.
His eyes ran over the wall of items. You could not want a better beginners selection. Pole to the side…sling set over the chair, couch for viewing the main stage if you wished…and able to be made completely private. Some of his patrons came as a status symbol as it was hard to get membership. He laid out the last of the silk and satin wraps that could be strapped to the ceiling. Making sure they were out of the way. This suite was the most expensive but for tonight it was taken. He wondered for a moment if she would even learn of him and Severus…or if she knew just how addictive this could become. The smile never left his lips as he was satisfied with all he had done, now all he had to do was wait.
