author's note I have a love/hate relationship with Lucius
Eyes all a glow, lit up like silver diamonds he stalks down the great staircase towards the perpetually closed door of his father.
Lips taut in their hereditary smug he pushes the door open, silver badge clamped in his not-quite still hands, but still enough against the dull thumping of his pounding heart. He’s nervous, but he shouldn’t be, for in his hand he holds the key - the perfect key - to his father’s approval.
“I just got the owl,” he stammers out, “I got prefect”.
Blankness - ice cold reply.
“And so did Weasley. Come back when you’ve got Head Boy”.
