Lucius Malfoy, bitch (apresdereve) wrote,

Lucius sits up in his bed at Malfoy Manor, the sun streaming in through the window in the early morning. He hadn't been able to sleep last night, not with the anticipation of Narcissa's arrival today. He'd told her to Floo straight to his bedroom, so they wouldn't have to awkwardly speak to his parents. He'd prefer it if they could just spend time together. He'd never admit it, but ever since he'd left Hogwarts the previous year and she'd had to stay, he'd missed Narcissa, even if she was naggy and annoying and insufferable. For whatever reason, he loved her, and he hadn't seen her in at least a month, and that was just terrible. His job at the Ministry was really running him down, and he just wanted to see her for a little while.

He got up out of the bed and changed his clothing, getting ready for her arrival.

	"He works with me," he told her, shrugging. "Well, at the ministry. He blathers on about her in the lift on our way up. Always asks about you, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She looked at him, sort of bewildered. "What does he ask about me? Why does he talk about Andromeda? What does he know about her?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He knows we're together. I imagine Andromeda told him." He looked at her, curious. "What's wrong?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know," Lucius agreed. "You should tell your mother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I may," she said conspiratorially. "Is there anything else I should know about this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think I saw her there last week, but I can't be sure," Lucius told her. "It may have been Bella, though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Her eyes widened. "So now that mudblood is cohorting with both of my sisters?" Narcissa said, thoroughly insulted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sure she wasn't there to see Tonks," Lucius snorted. "Could you imagine Bella speaking to anyone outside of either of our families?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She sighed with relief. "Good. I didn't feel like throwing any Bat Bogey Hexes quite yet. I'll just wait for a little while." At his latter remark, Narcissa smirked. "What about the Lestranges?" she suggested coolly, knowing full well that Bellatrix had been flirting with both of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nor should you. You weren't even on her list of Approved Suitors," Narcissa informed him brightly, very happy of this news. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Was I on yours?" He asked, interested. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I would think it was funny that your parents were so incredibly wrong about who I would like to be paired up with," Lucius protested, shrugging. "I mean, the thought of marrying Andy makes me sick." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	huffing 2010-09-29 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	"You were on my list, but you weren't number one," Narcissa informed him, rolling her eyes. "My parents had much different plans for me, I think. That comes with being the youngest." She sighed lightly, a hand reaching over to play with his hair. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He caught her hand, lacing their fingers and kissing her knuckles. "Who was your number one?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	huffing 2010-09-29 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	She rolled her eyes. "Evan Rosier," she answered simply. Rosier had a bit of a reputation -- straight out of Hogwarts, just four years older than Narcissa, he was known throughout all Pureblood families that he had become a Death Eater. Though it seemed glamorous, Narcissa wasn't so sure she wanted to be the trophy wife during a long war. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Disgusting," Lucius said, making a face. He'd heard about Rosier becoming a Death Eater, and he wasn't impressed. Sure, Lucius didn't really like mudbloods or muggles wandering around, but that didn't mean he wanted to kill them all. He just wanted them away from his family. Not dead. "He's a coward."

	She sighed heavily. "Yes, well, most of my family don't think so, even if I say otherwise." To be honest, Narcissa wanted to stay as far away from that group as possible, for as long as she could. She knew, though, that her family would get involved. Her sister Bellatrix was already delving into it, she knew for a fact. It hurt Narcissa to think about it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, I'm sure they'll be more than pleased with me," he said arrogantly. The Malfoys were the most prestigious pureblood family, next to the Blacks. It only made sense that Lucius be married to one of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She frowned slightly. "I'm not marrying you because of that," Narcissa told him moodily. Of course, his family was very prestigious, just like hers, but she didn't want to act solely on the fact that he was important. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He looked up at her curiously. "I know that. You're marrying me because you love me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	huffing 2010-09-29 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	She simply smiled and lowered her head back down to his chest, resting it there, fingers idly making patterns on his side. "You know, I'm not so sure that I'll be able to go another month without seeing you again. I may have to keep you in my dormitory for the rest of the school year and you'll have to call in sick."

	"I think that would get me fired, no matter how prestigious my family is," he told her, running a hand through her hair. "I think we'll be all right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
