Narcissa wore a stunning silver gown. Lucius thought she looked like a shining, sliver angel in the dress. She has picked it out earlier that day in Diagon Alley.

"Lucius, how good to see you here! And, why, Narcissa, you look gorgeous!" exclaimed Cornelius Fudge as he strolled over towards the couple. Narcissa gave him a small smile.

"Thank you, Minister. We are honored to be here," Narcissa replied. Lucius nodded and shook the minister's hand. Lucius and Narcissa strolled around having small chats with Fudge's other guests. He had invited nearly everyone who works at the ministry, including some Lucius's least favorite people.

"Good evening, Arthur and Molly," greeted Lucius nastily. "I see you couldn't afford even a simple gown for your wife," smirked Lucius to Arthur.

"Some people are not as fortunate as others, Lucius," sneered Arthur in return. Narcissa stood on Lucius's right, holding his arm. She gave Molly her cold glare and held her chin high.

"I very well know there are. Don't you and your family all sleep in one room?" asked Lucius.

"We do not!" exclaimed Arthur.

"Well then I guess you spend your few sickles on your home and let your wife go hungry," mocked Lucius. "I, on the other hand, own a manor and most importantly provide for my family." Narcissa gave Lucius a loving smile and stood on her tiptoes so she could whisper in Lucius's ear.

"Let's not waste our time with these horrid people." Lucius gave her a smile and small nod in agreement.

"Do enjoy the party the best you can on a hungry stomach in those robes," Lucius sneered. He then turned and walked away with his Narcissa. A little while later, Lucius led Narcissa out onto the dance floor. He looked into her icy blue eyes as they twirled across the floor, neither one missing a step. He remembered the first time he danced with her. It was at a school dance. It was his third year at Hogwarts, so he was allowed to attend the dance on his own. Narcissa, only a first year, was his date. They never broke up. He was her boyfriend all the way up until the summer after she graduated when he married her and became her husband.

The party was as unpleasant as they had expected-finding the Weasley couple there and all. Lucius thanked his wife for putting up with them and promised he would make it up to her the next day.

I have lost my touch at writing over all the months I left my stories sitting. I hope you enjoyed this chapter even though it isn't as good as some of the others, in my opinion. As you can see from reading my other story "Lucius's Princess", I love having the Weasley and Malfoy couples meet.
