L Is For The Way You Look At Me: Lucius/Narcissa Oneshot

[sarahyyy]

Because slyferrethas been so nice and wonderful about my personalised icons *points to icon*, I decided to write her a drabble with a pairing of her choice. And she chose Lucius/Narcissa. 

Now I would like to add that I've never written anything out of Scorose, Dramione and Fremione before, so I have no idea how I did with this drabble. Hope I actually achieved my usual crazy-humour style rather than having a you readers go "what the...?". =D

Without further delay...

---

“I forbid!” Lucius fumed, “He has to marry a Parkinson! That was the gist of the whole contract!”

 

“Lucius, dear, he doesn’t like Pansy...”

 

“So let him marry her either one of her sisters! Mimosa and Dragon Root, wasn’t it?” Lucius had started pacing angrily around his study and it was starting to make Narcissa’s head spin.

 

She let out an uncharacteristic snort, “Marigold and Dahlia, dear.”

 

“Right...” He said awkwardly. “But that is not the point! The thing is that he has to marry a Parkinson or we’d be breaking the tradition. The Malfoys have had arranged marriages for the past three centuries. This wouldn’t do...”

 

Narcissa stood up and walked to her husband, putting her hand into his, effectively stopping his pacing, “We were lucky to be in love and happy. Imagine if you had to marry Bella like in the original plans.” She smiled as her husband shivered slightly. “We married for love, Lucius. It’s only fair that Draco gets to, too.”

 

“But...”

 

She cut him off, removing her hand from his, “Or do you not love me?”

 

Lucius looked aghast, “Of course I do!”

 

“Then what’s there not to like? Let Draco marry Astoria. At least she’s a nice girl. Pureblooded too. He could have chosen someone else.”

 

“Like Mimosa or Dragon Root.” He intoned darkly, a scowl etched upon his face.

 

“Lucius, Marigold has a mole the size of Russia on her face. And Dahlia is still trying to learn how to differentiate between a wand and a stick.” She said, not unkindly, but she was starting to get annoyed by her husband’s reaction of Draco’s engagement to Astoria.

 

She smiled again as Lucius’ shoulders drooped a little, “Well I guess we’ll have to cancel the agreement with the Parkinsons, right?”

 

She nodded a little, “I knew you would see my way, dear.” When he didn’t reply, she gave a little chuckle.

 

“You’re such a boy sometimes, Lucius Malfoy.”

 

“But you love me all the same.”

 

“That I do.”

Lovely... Narcissa makes a wonderful wife, doesn't fight or order just quietly and patiently convinces her husband... very nice :)

[sarahyyy.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I appreciate the comment. =D

[slyfoxesq.livejournal.com]

Heeeeeh. XD Very cute! I love when Narcissa stands up for Draco. And twists Lucius around her little finger, of course. Thank you so much!! :D Loved it! (Especially how Lucius' "I forbid" is apparently totally worthless. XD)

Oh! And I adore your layout! :D

[sarahyyy.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm so glad you like it. =D

Icon love! Lucius looks so cute it your icon. =D

[strawberrimelon.livejournal.com]

YAY! :)
Nice job once again. You did fine. So now...you've written about 4 different ships! YAYYYYYY :D

[sarahyyy.livejournal.com]

Hopefully there are more different ships to come! =D I do quite want to write a threesome of Sarahyyy/Tom(or Draco, both works)/Strawberrimelon. Think it'll be a great hit? =D

[strawberrimelon.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!!! I'd really like to see you try! :)

I'm laughing my head off right now. Seriously! :D

[sarahyyy.livejournal.com]

Here's a little excerpt:

Her eyes grew wide as she saw Strawberrimelon and Draco snogging in the Head Common room.

Two contrasting emotions passed through her in a flash: anger and happiness. Anger because Strawberrimelon hadn't told her that she was dating Draco and happiness because after all, Strawberrimelon was her friend!

"Hey!" She suddenly exclaimed, drawing the two lovers out of their little world of everything warm and fuzzy. "You promised to share!" She said accusingly.

Strawberrimelon and Draco exchanged a look. He gave her a barely noticeable one shouldered shrug and then she turned over to Sarahyyy with a smirk that put even Draco's to shame. "Well, girl, what are you waiting for?"

[strawberrimelon.livejournal.com]

HAHAAAAAA!
I LOVE IT! :D

It made me laugh for a while. Now, I'm all giggly-school-girl like :D

I love the "barely noticeable one shouldered shrug" of Draco's..so hot! :)

[sarahyyy.livejournal.com]

Wait till I really start writing this. It'd be THE SHIP OF THE YEAR! =D

Heh, stop lying to yourself. Everything Draco does is hot. Not just shrugs and smirks. =D

[strawberrimelon.livejournal.com]

YAY!!! :D

Sorry. *repeatedly writes Everything Draco does is hot 5 million times*

[sarahyyy.livejournal.com]

Lol.

But seriously though, I kinda liked Pansy in PoA. She was quite pretty. But now they're changing it into someone more so pug-faced.

[strawberrimelon.livejournal.com]

I know. I though she was well-fit. But I guess she needed to look...pug-ier. What an insult to the girl who's playing her! Lol! :D

[sarahyyy.livejournal.com]

I know! And that girl, whatever her name is, really does look kinda pug-faced. But lucky her, getting to act with my "Drakie-poo"! (Do you realise that it's how she addresses Draco in almost every fanfic?)

[strawberrimelon.livejournal.com]

I know!!!!! She may be a pug, but being on screen with Tom is just awesome.

Oh. And I forgot to include in my previous reply, but I think Reg (for some reason) is starting to get a little American fanclub over here just like Ced. None of my friends even know him! All they know is his name and they just say "He's British. He's got a cool name. Must be hot." *sigh* LOL! :D

Nothing I can do about them. :)

[sarahyyy.livejournal.com]

I wanted to go for the audition for Cho Chang, have I ever told you? Not because I'd be famous and all, though I admit it'd be a plus, but I'd get to see Tom! But then there was the blasted age limit. Bleh. I was just one year under! Gah.

He's British. He's got a cool name. Must be hot.

Thank you, thank you very much. ~Reg

I'm not sure if they would be disappointed or not. Lol. Reg made me cut that off! =D

[strawberrimelon.livejournal.com]

Ooh! That would've been amazing! Stupid age limit *kicks the casting director in the bum*

Yet another somewhat concieted British guy...lol! :D

Wait, Reg looks at all this?
*stares*
Well, that's embarassing. Hahaa :)

[sarahyyy.livejournal.com]

Lol, Reg just happened to be in the room when I read it so I thought to show it to him and he insisted on typing a thank you note! =D

Don't worry. He didn't read our pervvy convos. =D

[strawberrimelon.livejournal.com]

*phew* Ok. Lol! :D
I was like I talk about so many 'bad' stuff! And some guy in London is reading all this!

Hee hee. I'm glad that isn't true :)

[sarahyyy.livejournal.com]

Lol. Whenever we're having a convo on less...appropriate things and Reg wants to know. I'd tell him we're talking about PMS'ing. And he goes all, "Eww."

Men. *rolls eyes*

[strawberrimelon.livejournal.com]

Lolllll!
I'm still laughing my head off. Poor guy. He doesn't know what we truly go though. Helllllll >.<

Now he probably thinks we talk about 'women issues' 24/7...hee hee! We'd have scarred him for life if he read every single one of our convos :DDD

[sarahyyy.livejournal.com]

Better to have him think that we talk about women issues 24/7 than for him to think that we're always pervy and horny. =D

[strawberrimelon.livejournal.com]

Haahahaaa. I agree. It's better than the latter possibility. :)
You know what? the "a" key on my laptop broke! My brother was having a little revengeful mind one day and ripped (literally) the "a" key from the laptop, leaving a silver square of touch-sensing metal. What a little idiot. :/

[sarahyyy.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh. Your brother must be really...fun to be with. =D Is it fixed now?

But just for curiousity's sake, you said he had a revengeful mind... What exactly did you do for him to react so...violently? =D

[strawberrimelon.livejournal.com]

Yup. Real fun.
He's actually a great kid and all, but too...young for me. He just turned 8, and I'm 15 1/2, so there's a little...communication gapI think I unplugged the house computer when he was on, my justification being that he was watching his Pokemon youtube videos too loud…lol! I just got pissed since I was in the middle of a nap.
And no. it hasn’t been fixed. Don’t think it ever will. But I’ve gotten used to it. Hopefully, I’ll get my own laptop…if not, whatever. I can still type, so it’s all good :)

[sarahyyy.livejournal.com]

Oh lol. It would be fun to be in your house. =D If my brothers and I were to have anything that we are not happy about with each other, we need to hand in a full written (or typed) report to either one of my parents.

Heh heh. It started out ever since one summer we got angry with each other almost everyday. They decided that if we needed to work hard on reports after our fights, we would fight less.

Never stopped us much, though. =D

But really (no offence, I'm just curious), what do you and your brother talk about then since you have such a big age gap?

[strawberrimelon.livejournal.com]

Really? Wow, your parents are very methodical. So orderly! :D And it works! Well, kinda. Lol!

Hmmm....I've basically retold every HP detail to him. So without reading a single book so far (he plans to start in the summer), he knows everything. Like this one time, I asked him to name a certain spell and what it does and he was like "Sectumsempra is a spell that...umm...cuts you open. Like Draco, when Harry did it in the bathroom and Draco started bleeding and it made a huge mess."
I was like O________O "Dang!"
And we talk about our parents, his school and homework, and I teach him about morals. Well, I try at least. I don't totally know what sinks in. Lol!

[sarahyyy.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. Try having to organise your book racks all alphabetically. And have (some of) your closets colour coded. =D

Oh, that's nice! Ced didn't even know a thing about Harry Potter (And he asked me why Dramione was not Herco) until just last year end when he had a lot of time on his hands and Chris is still plain uninterested in HP.

[strawberrimelon.livejournal.com]

Lol! That sounds tedious to keep up with...heheee. My closet is "type of clothing" ordered, so all the sweaters are in one place and all my jeans in another. :)

Lol! Herco? That sounds so uninviting *shiver*
Dramione....now, that's hot ;D
