Lucius was waiting at the train station on a rather sunny Sunday afternoon. It was the end of the summer, but not yet time for school. He was actually waiting in an 'existing' platform surrounded by muggles. If this wasn't such an import engagement he wouldn't be caught dead here. Finally the whistle of a train sounded and the large beast pulled into the station. Lucius waited patiently as people got off.
"Lucius!" A loud squeal caught Lucius' attention and he looked a little ways down the train to see a beautiful young woman getting off the train making a rather large scene. She ran over wearing a little French hat and scarf and lugging her large suitcase.
"Narcissa, you're looking more beautiful than ever." Lucius wrapped his arms around her and gave her a breath-taking kiss. Narcissa smiled and clung onto her hat as she leaned back to look into Lucius' eyes.
"Salut Monsieur… I missed you so much." She whispered and snuggled into his chest for another hug. Lucius smiled, he had missed her too. He bent down and picked up her suitcase and carried it off the platform for her.
"I'm surprised your parents had you take a train." Lucius commented. "They could have just apparated home couldn't they?"
"Yes but you don't see very much country side that way." Narcissa linked her arm through Lucius' as they walked out of the station. "I have so much to tell you!" She began once they were free of the crowd. "My cousins took me all over Paris! It was quiet exciting; I haven't been there since I was a child! It's more glamorous than I ever remembered! But first, how was your summer?" Lucius thought for a moment about what he should say. His summer had been dreadful as he spent it thinking about how he was planning to stop his father from murdering him and his wife in the future.
"It was pretty quiet, I went up to see Severus, got in a diner fight, nothing too special." He replied as they walked down the busy streets of London.
"A diner fight? I wish I was there for that… did you win?" Narcissa inquired playfully. Lucius smirked down at her.
"Of course, it was a muggle."
The two walked for about an hour down the random streets of London before they had finally gotten to their destination. The home of the Black family. The rest of the family was already there because they had just apparated from the station, but Narcissa insisted on walking home with Lucius so that they could talk. He was going to be having dinner with their family to get familiar with Narcissa's parents. They stepped onto the front steps and entered the door.
"Narcissa! We were beginning to worry!" Mrs. Black came bustling to the door and rushing the teen's in. "Lucius dear, it's so nice to see you." Lucius smiled at Mrs. Black. Narcissa was right; she did seem a little neurotic. Mr. Black came into the hall and smiled, he was in a normal suit and his hair was slicked back neatly. His glasses sat on his nose just in front of his blue eyes that creased at the sides from too much laughing and smiling. He seemed like a businessman that wasn't absorbed by his job, but by his family. Mr. Black took Lucius' hand in his own and shook it.
"Welcome master Malfoy, I'm glad you could come and join us for dinner." He shook Lucius' hand a little more vigorously than necessary.
"Lucius, please." Lucius said as they walked towards the dinning room. It was much smaller then Lucius' but still it was nice.
"Narcissa tells me your very talented at Quidditch, I was quite the Quidditch player in my day." Mr. Black started as he sat down at the head of the table. Lucius pulled a chair out for Narcissa and then pushed it back in once she was in it comfortably.
"Narcissa is too kind, I'm just the seeker. You were probably ten times the player I was sir." Lucius sat down and couldn't help giving himself a point for making Mr. Black smile.
"Seeker is the most important player, my boy! I was simply a beater." The Black's house elf, who's charmingly large ears were folded backwards, came into the dining room to serve dinner. Bellatrix barged into the dinning room rudely and took a seat next to her father who frowned disapprovingly.
"Bella, we have a guest, you could be a little more polite." He scolded. Bellatrix waved her hand in the air passively.
"Oh please Dad, its just Lucius." She shot Lucius a glare that he ignored. Narcissa looked at her sister pleadingly hoping she would behave. At this time Silver walked into the room and sat down next to Bellatrix.
"Sorry I'm late." She said apologetically as the house elf set her dinner plate in front of her. Mrs. Black sat down at the opposing end to Mr. Black and smiled at everyone sitting at the table.
"Shall we?" She asked raising a fork. Everyone grabbed their silverware and at the same time began cutting into their food. Narcissa was pleased her mother had decided on the pork chops. They were always really good and she wanted Lucius to have a nice meal.
The dinner chat had continued for a long time. Bellatrix scowled at Lucius every time he made her father laugh. He had been getting along so well with him, although it wasn't hard, Mr. Black was a rather friendly man. Narcissa couldn't help but smile at how charming Lucius could be when he tried. Usually when speaking to others he was rude and passive, she liked seeing him try hard for her. Once dinner had finished the house elf cleared the table and the family went into the sitting room. Lucius sat snuggly on the love seat next to Narcissa and draped his arm along the back of the couch. There was more talking from there, but Narcissa was far too bored with the discussion to pay attention. She fidgeted with her beaded necklace idly as they began talking about school.
"Tomorrow is when you go back to Hogwarts, how exciting." Mr. Darling commented as he sipped his tea.
"Well, I will miss summer, but I will also enjoy going back to school for my sixth year." Lucius smiled and then looked down at Narcissa who appeared dreadfully bored. She looked up hopefully at him and then to her father who was looking at his watch.
"My word!" He said fixing his glasses. "Is it that time already?" Lucius looked at the grandfather clock on the opposite side of the room. It was eight-o-clock. "Your parents will be wondering where you are." Mr. Black stood up and made for the other room. "I'll get the port key." Narcissa let a sigh of relief.
"It's too bad we didn't get to spend enough time alone." Narcissa whined as she rested her head on Lucius' shoulder. Lucius began petting her long blonde hair.
"We can make up for lost time tomorrow night." He winked at her. For a moment Narcissa's mind went away with her as she imagined tomorrow night. At that moment Mr. Black re-entered the room with a glass in his hand.
"You better hurry, my boy." He said quickly handing the glass to Lucius. "Give my thanks to your parents. It was pleasant having you out for dinner, I hope we can do it again sometime." Mr. Black shook Lucius' hand then turned to Narcissa, and with a nod he left the room.
"Good bye, Lucius." She hugged him tightly around the middle. "I'll see you tomorrow." Lucius tilted her chin up and kissed her gently.
"Till then." And with that Narcissa stepped back a few paces and Lucius disappeared with the glass. It was sad how this had been the only time spent with Lucius, and she hadn't even gotten very much alone time. Narcissa took off her hat and headed for her room, she might as well get a good nights sleep since she was to start her fifth year the next day.
A/N: This is a really short chapter, I know, but I just wanted to write a little about Lucius' relationship with Narcissa's family. I don't know… I'm a weirdo.
