"In The Cold" (Lucius Malfoy, PG, 100)

Love could be a terrible thing. A heart-lifting, invigorating thing perhaps, but nevertheless, there was a terrible side to its powers. Especially when one was the heir to ancient pure-blood line and had the expectation of many generations burdened upon his shoulders.

Lucius preferred not to think about it at all, but he could never quite

Interesting. I usually see Lucius/Bellatrix (which adds ammunition to Bella's envy of Narcissa).

P.S. "its powers" not "it's powers"

Glad you thought so! Oh, and thanks for pointing that mistake out. I'll go and edit it now. :)

Hmm... I think she might have once suspected it, but Lucius is rather apt at hiding whatever shakes his emotions, and she probably doesn't believe he's capable of love in that way. :)
