Sophia walked leisurely through the halls. It was Sunday and all the children had gone to Hogsmede, and Severus had gone to supervise. Sophia was coming down off her heat, a few days left maybe. But even so, she was desperate for Severus to get back.
Turning a corner in the castle, she ran into what felt like a wall. Falling backwards, she stopped centimetres from the ground. Looking up, she saw a regal looking man, with long white-blonde hair. He smirked down at her, holding his wand out. He had saved her from falling and hurting herself. He flicked his wand upwards and Sophia felt herself being raised to her feet. She landed face to… well… Chest… with the man, and she looked up into his eyes.
"Hi." She said. "I've never seen you around here." She added suspiciously.
"My name is Lucius Malfoy, I'm visiting my friend, Professor Snape.." He answered, looking intensely at her eyes.
"Oh, Severus? He's at Hogsmede with the children. He should be back soon, do you want me to show you to his rooms? You can wait?" She smiled. She could talk with this man, he was a friend of Severus's and thus she could find out information about Severus from him.
Suddenly she was struck with a thought. What if this man was one of those men from that Death Eater thing that Severus was involved in? Did she really want him to know she was a muggle?
"You know Severus well enough to refer to him by his first name?" Lucius asked, eyeing her closely.
"Oh," She said, thinking quickly. "No, no. He doesn't let me refer to him by his first name." She said with what she hoped was a sad tone.
"Mmm, that's interesting. I've never known Severus to be so rude to such an attractive woman." He stood closer, surrounding Sophia in his smell. She breathed deeply and felt the foggy glaze take over her thoughts. "I apologise. I forgot to ask your name. I confess, I must have been distracted by your beautiful eyes." He smirked at her and she almost whimpered.
"Sophia." She managed. He took her hand and kissed it, just as Severus had done at their first meeting. Sadly though, Sophia couldn't even tell you who Severus WAS, let alone that he kissed her like that. Sophia was once again focussed only on the man in front of her.
"I will come by later to see Severus, tell him I came by, would you?" He eyed her up and down intensely.
Sophia nodded dumbly.
"It was a pleasure meeting you, Sophia." L said smoothly, then with a crack, disappeared.
Sophia leant against the wall and tried to calm her breathing.
When she told Severus later that night that he had come by, Severus looked mildly upset. She told him she hadn't said anything about being a muggle, but she left out the part about wanting to jump him. She didn't want to upset Severus.
Unfortunately, she also left out that he had apparated away, which is supposed to be impossible within Hogwarts grounds…
