	"Hold on." Lily read the quote one last time. "Here." She surrendered the paper to Malfoy and finally took at her empty plate, which she decided to fill with a few eggs and a bit of toast. "Do you see?" she asked, after finishing a few bites. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lucius' eyebrows furrowed as he read the article. "That doesn't make any sense," he said when he was finished. "Why would they take precautions if we're not in danger? Isn't that like tempting fate?" Not that Lucius was worried. He was pureblooded. What did he have to worry about? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Exactly!" Lily exclaimed in a whisper, excited that Malfoy had picked up on the same contradiction she had. "It seems a bit funny, doesn't it? Not Dumbledore's usual style." She returned to poking her cooling eggs for a quick moment before turning to the blond. "What do you think of all this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lucius sighed. "I'm not exactly sure. I know Dumbledore's never been outright honest with us, what with his always speaking in vague terms, but this just doesn't make sense at all." He paused for a moment, considering something. "What do you think would happen?" he asks her, "You know, if this Voldemort bloke wasn't a legend or whatever it is they're calling him."

"I don't quite know," Lily admitted. "Sounds a bit different than the Dark Lord Grindlewald we learned about with Professor Binns, doesn't it? People didn't go missing like this with Grindlewald."

She pushed her half-full plate away and bit her lip. "I don't know the names of many of the missing, but some people say there's a pattern. That they're all. Oh, you know. Muggleborn."

	Lucius made a face somewhere between a grimace and trying to be sympathetic. "Well, maybe the people haven't really gone missing?" Lucius offered , attempting to make her feel better. "Maybe Leach is right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This made Lily's frown deepen. "But why would anyone lie about it? Why cause all this fea--this concern if nothing was wrong?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apresdereve 2009-02-11 02:32 am UTC (link)
	Lucius simply shrugged. "I really have no idea. Maybe it's a big conspiracy and Voldemort's gotten to the Ministry and has control." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She raised her eyes and glared at Lucius. "That's not funny." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apresdereve 2009-02-11 02:35 am UTC (link)
	Lucius smirked. "It's a little funny." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allisenvy 2009-02-11 02:38 am UTC (link)
	"Is not!" she asserted, a pout on her face that was there only to hide a faint smile. "You're terrible, Lucius Malfoy, did you know?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lucius nudged her light with his elbow. "I've heard as much, but I tend to ignore the people around me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allisenvy 2009-02-11 02:43 am UTC (link)
	"You shouldn't, they make a very good point." Lily tugged her Prophet back from Malfoy and shrugged. "Is that all you wanted to talk about? The article? Or did you have another reason for annoying my housemates with your green-ness?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apresdereve 2009-02-11 02:45 am UTC (link)
	Lucius furrowed his brow, as if he had forgotten that he was at a table with other people besides Lily. "Well, really I just wanted to irritate you," he told her truthfully, "But if I'm irritating your housemates instead I think I'll just stay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allisenvy 2009-02-11 02:48 am UTC (link)
	In a quick move, Lily folded the paper and hit him on the arm. "Rude! I thought your parents would have raised you with better manners than that. Your housemates don't look too happy, either," she noted, nodding towards the Slytherin table. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apresdereve 2009-02-11 02:49 am UTC (link)
	Lucius gaped at her. "That was rude, Evans. You are not supposed to hit people with rolled up papers, you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allisenvy 2009-02-11 02:51 am UTC (link)
	"And coming over with the intention to irritate me and my friends isn't rude, Malfoy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apresdereve 2009-02-11 02:52 am UTC (link)
	"It isn't as rude as hitting someone!" He retorted with a pout. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allisenvy 2009-02-11 02:55 am UTC (link)
	"The hit," Lily explained calmly, "was in reaction to the news that you chose to act poorly. It's discipline, Malfoy. You could use some discipline." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apresdereve 2009-02-11 02:57 am UTC (link)
	Lucius' eyebrow nearly raised off his forehead. "Do I, Lily?" He asked, a smirk making its way back onto his mouth. "Are you going to give it to me? Have I been a naughty boy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allisenvy 2009-02-11 03:00 am UTC (link)
	She pulled a face. "Don't be lewd." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apresdereve 2009-02-11 03:04 am UTC (link)
	Lucius laughed. "Don't say things that can potentially be lewd." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allisenvy 2009-02-11 03:05 am UTC (link)
	Lily met his eyes and couldn't help but let out a chuckle. "So then? Why'd you want to irritate me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apresdereve 2009-02-11 03:07 am UTC (link)
	Lucius shrugged. "Irritating people has it's perks. Like people completely overreacting. It's just fun sometimes, I think." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allisenvy 2009-02-11 03:08 am UTC (link)
	"Hmm," Lily considered. "So I should just play along and not get offended by your harassment? Then you'll get bored and leave me alone?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
