Narcissa Malfoy. Everything she did was magic to him, every movement and word captivated him. She had him hypnotised with the very essence of her being, and the two hadn't even been together more than a month. Yes, he loved everything about her. Most of all though, he loved her laugh. Lucius would do whatever he could to get his girlfriend to laugh, even at his expense.

Sometimes.

Her laugh evoked happiness in him, brought a wide smile to his face and sent flutters through his stomach. Which was highly unusual for Lucius Malfoy, because Malfoy's don't act like so.

Lucius watched her twirl a lock of blonde hair around her finger as she read the assigned chapter for Transfiguration. Her brow was wrinkled in concentration, her teeth gnawing on her lip as she took in the information.

She looked far too serious, he would have to change that.
Her laughter was such a beautiful thing to him probably because it was so rarely heard. Narcissa Malfoy had a lot on her mind with her family -- her cousins and sisters were most problematic-- so one bout of laughter was a rare and wonderful thing to be heard.

Lucius began formulating a plan to take the frown from her face, to hear that familiar tinkle of laughter he had grown so fond of. Lucius moved from his seat across from her and sat down beside her, draping his arm around her shoulder. She turned and raised an eyebrow,

"Is there something wrong, Lucius?"

"Of course not, you just seem so terribly.. Sad." He said, flashing her his most charming smile.

She sighed, "I know.. I wasn't even reading this chapter," She admitted, "Bellatrix and Andromeda have stopped speaking, and it's been on my mind all day. It's awful…"

"Bellatrix is a crazy bitch, love. There's nothing you can do." He said softly.

Narcissa shot him a sharp look, "She's my sister. Besides, it's that monster that does it to her." She had anger in her eyes, but her tone was filled with sadness. This was not how Lucius planned for his conversation to go.

"That 'monster' is restoring pureblood superiority. Don't be angry that Bellatrix has taken it upon her self to help that cause."

Narcissa gasped, "You agree with it!" She paused, "Have you not seen what they've done in the paper? My sister has told me about the people she has tortured, she has even mocked Andromeda about it! It's horrible. They're not just killing mudbloods, they're killing purebloods, too. You agree with that?"

He shifted uneasily, "It's not something I've thought a lot about,"

"That's utter rubbish," she countered, "It doesn't matter anyway, you're too young to get involved at this age."

"Bella joined at this age," He reminded her.

"You're not Bella."

He sighed, "Couldn't you just laugh?"

She turned to look at him, "What? You're trying to make me laugh? That is a pathetic attempt, Lucius."

"Of course it was a pathetic attempt, you refuse to co-operate!" He replied, pouting rather childishly.

Narcissa observed Lucius' sulking features; his pouted lips, creased forehead and chin held high. He did that when he was upset, Narcissa reckoned it was because it took away his sense of vulnerability.
He looked so incredibly childish that she had to laugh, which instantly drew a smile from Lucius.

He flicked his blonde hair over his shoulder and propped his arm up on the back of the couch, "I knew I could do it. I'm just too good to resist."

"Too funny to resist." Narcissa corrected, laughing again at his sharp look. Despite his mock glare, Lucius felt light-hearted inside. She was amazingly beautiful in that moment, and he knew he would always remember her laugh.

Yes, Lucius Malfoy was certifiably whipped.

That went okay, if not a bit fluffy and pointless. But don't let that put you off ;) There are 99 to go! :D haha

R&R please,
