#86—Daring
It was a daring move, he knew but he was going to do it anyway. Lucius bewitched the bowl of frog livers to hover in midair, just out of sight of anyone walking down that corridor.
Narcissa was just coming around the corner and Lucius was ready. He released the charm from the bowl but not before turning it upside down first. It's contents spilled onto Narcissa and the bowl hit her head before falling to the floor. She realized what was on her, screamed and ran down the corridor, Lucius laughing as he watched her go. Definitely worth it.
#6—Divination
"You have what this year?"
"Divination. And the professor's a fraud."
"Who is it?"
"Sybill Trelawney."
"Is she related to—"
"Yeah but has none of her powers. According to her, Potter should have been dead ten times over by now."
"Well, she's on the right track, isn't she?"
"Now Lucius. You shouldn't encourage the death of another student in front of Draco."
"Mother, I'm not a child. Besides, Potter would be better off dead."
"You're outnumbered here, Narcissa. Perhaps you should practice being seen and not heard."
"I wish you wouldn't say things like that."
"Wishing won't help you."
#29—Pensieve
Lucius's pensieve sat on a bureau. Narcissa knew he kept everything from her. She just wanted a peek into his mind since he wouldn't give it to her willingly. She dipped her face into the liquid and for a moment saw a murder; an Avada Kedavra curse performed on a young woman fresh out of school.
She was suddenly jerked back and thrown against the wall. Lucius was livid. He drew his wand and pointed it at her face.
"Consider this your one and only warning. If I catch you snooping again I'll be adding another tally to my count."
#60—Joke
"This is a joke. It has to be. Which one of you did it?"
Lucius looked around at his friends but they seemed as dumbfounded as he was. All they could do was gape at the scene. Lucius's bed was covered in rose petals and pink bows. Puffy red hearts floated around the four-poster and all of his bedding was Droobles pink. On the bed lay a note. One friend elbowed Lucius and shoved him towards the bed.
Lucius grabbed the note with the sparkling purple words and he shook his head. "Narcissa thinks this is a happy Valentine's Day."
#62—Lope
Lucius loped down the corridor, knowing that he was late for class. He couldn't seem to get up on time lately. As his luck would have it, his class was on the seventh floor.
He got to the door and creaked it open, hoping to not disturb the professor.
"Lucius. So glad you could join us. Take a seat."
Lucius rolled his eyes and strode into the classroom. He looked around and saw Narcissa giggling at him, trying to look cute.
"Keep laughing and next time it'll be you that doesn't show up for class," he sneered and sat down.
#24—House Elf
"Narcissa, where's Dobby? I have work that needs to be done."
"Dobby?"
"Yes, Dobby. About yea high, floppy ears. He would be our house elf. You know him?"
"Don't get smart with me. I haven't seen him either. Come, Dobby!"
With a few seconds' delay, Dobby apparated at Lucius's feet. Lucius was furious.
"Where have you been?"
"Dobby is just washing Master's clothes, sir."
"You took too long to answer me. No supper for you tonight and while you're ironing, make sure to get a few of your fingers as well."
Dobby whimpered and quickly scurried away, ducking the cane.
#32—Common Room
Lucius sat alone in the common room with his work. He wasn't doing any of it. Instead he was doodling on a piece of parchment.
He didn't hear Narcissa walk up behind him but felt her hand on his shoulder. Startled, he jerked away. Seeing who it was, he sneered and proceeded with his doodling.
"We're going to have to come to friendly terms sooner or later," Narcissa said as she sat down.
"I don't have to do anything other than marry you. That's the only term. You're going to have to give up this friendly thing you're clinging to."
#30—Feast
Narcissa strut up to Lucius at the Slytherin house table and sat down next to him, facing the opposite direction.
"You know, Lucius, at the end of year feast next year I'll have more to celebrate than no more school."
He turned to her and sneered. "Which gives me that much more to mourn. Now leave me alone."
"If you've considered running, don't. We'll find you and you won't be the only one to pay."
"Oh don't worry, Narcissa. I won't run. I'll just keep my wand at the ready. Along with the crucifix and holy water you blood-sucking hag."
#39—Duel
Lucius had his wand at the ready, staring at his opponent. He never thought the time would come when he would have to properly duel.
The auror moved first, light erupting from his wand. Lucius deflected the spell and fired back, missing the man. The auror tried to fire again but was hit from behind; an Avada Kedavra from Rabastan Lestrange. The men nodded at each other and continued on their way.
Lucius thought of Narcissa and what she would do in such a situation. Unlike him, she would [Ineed[/I to be bailed out, not being strong enough to fight.
#88—Sweet Tooth
Lucius didn't have a sweet tooth and Narcissa knew that yet, for every holiday including his birthday, she would get him a bag of candy from Honeydukes. And every time he received it he would pass it along to his friends, knowing they would gladly devour it.
But this time, when he saw the five pound chocolate heart sitting on his bed, he lost his cool. He grabbed the heart and lugged it into the common room. He walked to Narcissa and dropped it at her feet.
"I hate candy you dumb witch! When is it going to sink in?"
