#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.”
