Prompt: Hermione Granger and Lucius Malfoy
Quotes: "This is without a doubt the stupidest plan you've ever had. Of course I'm in."
She couldn't believe her ears.
"You've finally lost it, then?"
Lucius snorted (or as much a man of his stature would dare snort). "I take it you don't find the suggestion agreeable?"
Hermione shook her head, aware that her mouth was still wide and dumb looking. "Er…it's not that, it's just that it's…well… you."
"And what does being me have to do with anything?" inquired the man, eyebrow raised challengingly. "Am I not a good husband? Do I not love my wife?"
Having somewhat recovered from the shocking announcement a few seconds ago, Hermione rolled her eyes. "Oh, please, Lucius, you know very well why I'm surprised. No, I don't doubt that you love Narcissa, obviously you do, seeing as how you're willing to embarrass yourself—"
"A Malfoy never embarrasses himself," he interrupted.
This time Hermione snorted and, unlike his, it was far from delicate. "Yeah…except when they pick the losing side of the war," she mumbled.
If Lucius heard he gave no indication. "Now, I know you and Draco are busy, but it would please me, and no doubt Narcissa, to have both of you alongside me. Will you, or will you not, help me put on a musical number for me and my wife's anniversary?"
Had she known this would come of letting her in-laws watch Muggle movies then Hermione wasn't sure she'd ever done it. However, the idea of watching Lucius Malfoy prance around singing Muggle songs…
She laughed. "This is without a doubt the stupidest plan you've ever had. Of course I'm in."
