NOTE: it's just an anecdote. I thought it was funny, so did my best friend… I hope you do too.

Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape sat in the Malfoy manor's extensive sitting area, in the manner of relaxed yet slightly wary companions. Neither trusted the other particularly much, but they remained cautious friends.
"So, Lucius…"
Snape said, furthering a vague conversation about domestic matters "You and Narcissa
still sleeping in separate rooms?" He asked a little delicately, sipping his
tea. Lucius carefully put his teacup on the saucer and frowned a little
distractedly
"Separate wings actually" he said rather clinically "We just need a little
space…" He sipped his tea, cold eyes fixed thoughtfully on his cup. Snape
raised a sceptical eyebrow
"Space, Lucius? You've been sleeping in separate bedrooms since Draco was born… fourteen years ago" He trailed off with a faint smirk, watching his white haired friend. "Your sex life must be suffering…"
"You're not one to talk, old friend." He replied a little sharply, but shrugged it off a sew seconds later "it has taken a bit of a knock." He admitted candidly, spreading the fingers of a gloved hand depreciatingly.
Snape ignored the implied insult and sipped his tea through the silence "You may want to think about taking up with one of your maids…" he advised sagely. Lucius nodded- nothing more then a slight inclination of his head, lost in thought.
"I was considering that, actually" His said lightly "But then Dobby was freed…"
