He's not so severe when he smiles, Penny thinks when she catches him between Ministry meetings and whispers.

Lucius is accustomed to sneering, but he's not all cloak-and-dagger-and-Galleons-slipped-to-officials as everyone thinks and he'd like others to believe. There are certain meetings he exits with a bead of sweat on his brow and a triumphant twinkle in his eye before he smiles in relief. It's a smile of triumph won through hard work of sorts.

So Penny decrees that someone who smiles sincerely and doesn't chastise her for catching him in a vulnerable moment can't be all that bad…she hopes.
