A/N: Dedicated to Ginny Baudelaire, who wanted to see a tea party.
The Dark Cave (Lord Voldemort really had been watching too many old Batman episodes) was teeming with Death Eaters and various baked goods. Crabbe and Goyle were attacking a package of chocolate cookies while Snape was seated in a corner, by himself, taking small bites out of a crumpet.
Lucius pulled out his silver lined ancestral Malfoy family teacup when a very timid looking house elf brought out the tea.
The Death Eaters sat around in their circle sipping tea and making small talk about their plans to kill so-and-so, or to bribe this official to do that. When talk of the holidays came up, Lucius told them all how he was planning on taking Cissa away to Greece after Christmas, and how he so hoped she'd force the house elves to make those chocolate covered things he liked. The afternoon wore on and after all of the evil planning for the day was done, the Death Eaters left to return to their homes.
Later that night Lucius was trying not to fidget while listening to Cissa recount her busy day planning the Holiday parties. She had noticed and was not pleased.
"Honestly Lucius, I'm absolutely beat after a full day of work. I don't know how you do it. It's like you just sat around drinking tea all day."
