A/N: These two drabbles were originally written for the Drabble Meme on LiveJournal. Nothing special really, but my first drabbles ever, so I still feel quite proud of them.

Thanks to Harmony Bites for the challenging theme "Lucius as a Hogwarts student" and for her kind corrections of the outcome.

All the rights and glory belong to JK Rowling.

TEARS

Lucius' mother died three months ago, but there were still nights of despair. In those moments he usually ended up somewhere in dark corridors, his hot forehead resting against a window glass. No one could see the tears of the Head Boy who led his house to the next house cup.

Hearing the steps, he turned briskly. He expected to be mocked, but there was just concern in her blue eyes. She raised her hand reluctantly to touch his wet face. And he just knew it.

Narcissa was the only one who could see him cry – from this day forward.
