Tell the story behind your name (or nickname).
Lucius was the only son of Abraxas and Sophia Malfoy; he was the scion of his generation and at his birth, one of the last standing pureblood families in England and by far the richest. He wasn’t named for any star, or relative- Abraxas was known to have that sort of stubborn streak in him that defied anything resembling tradition and Sophia, being foreign by birth, cared little for English naming practices so when their son was born healthy and hale on a June morning- they named him as they saw fit and cared little for the opinions of any who might object.
And in his own way, Lucius apologized for their arrogance by being the perfect son. He was polite and mannered, quiet and pure in every way a son should be. When the wars came, and Voldemort, he became something else, something dangerous and refined in its cruelty. He was the perfect soldier for a General and the perfect monster for a Dark Lord.
But before that, for a few years at Hogwarts, he was something else and he had a real name. It belonged to a long-haired boy, with a sweet voice most likely found reclining on a sofa, and charming smiles from girls’ lips. It suited his nature perfectly and he was careful to tuck it away in the hearts of those closest to him. The boy was shy, although no one could tell, and thoughtful and everyone knew that. He could and would charm a room to prove it possible. He was beautiful and his name, although made in tease, made sense.
But now it is a little ill-fitting because of the war, Malfoy heir, or the Death Eater and because those who know him now, know that man best of all- what would the purpose of telling you that name be?
