Setting: The Black's home in London, the afternoon of December 28th
Summary: Lucius has a present for Narcissa
Rating / Status: G/PG for now, and it's in-progress

Narcissa paused by the window, where snow was still falling lightly. London winters were all ugly, she thought to herself. One grey day after another. The enormous tree and other Christmas decorations hadn't been taken down yet from the Black's home, but theysomehow seemed almost pathetic now. Like holding on to Christmas with one's dying breath. Narcissa smiled, and shook her head at the melodramatic thoughts- they were almost Bella-worthy.

A part of her wondered what sort of present Lucius had gotten her. Jewelry was the most likely. It came in a variety of styles, and was relatively easy to procure, especially when money wasn't a problem. Yes, thought Narcissa, I'd place my money on jewelry.

She glanced at the room out of habit to make sure everything was in place, and took a seat on the lounge. Cygnus was out somewhere as usual and Druella was visiting with Aunt Rosier in another part of the house. Hopefully, she could count on no distractions.

"Go wait at the door for Mr. Malfoy," Narcissa instructed the house-elf, and proceeded to do the same in the drawing room.

"I did, and I do hope you did as well," Lucius spoke as he crossed the room in long, smooth strides, again bowing his head as he sat across from the girl. His eyebrow arched at her comment on his cane and he smirked with his pride over the gift, "Thank you, my dear Ms.Black. It was a gift from my father," He had a moment to bask in how good the gift was before he reached into his pocket and got the gift for Narcissa, putting it on the table in between them.

"I do hope you find my gift as interesting as my cane," He teased, tapping it with one slender finger and waiting for her to open her own present. It was a set of earrings and necklace, emeralds set in silver, that he thought would look magnificent on Narcissa. He would want nothing less for her.

"I hope so as well, because otherwise making conversation will be quite difficult, and we'd have to resort to commenting on the dreadful weather," Narcissa teased back. But it was highly unlikely that would happen. Though a year apart in school and with different friends, Narcissa and Lucius always had plenty to talk about should the occasion arise. After all, they had very similar beliefs and personalities.

Narcissa carefully opened the box, and smiled with admiration. "They're absolutely beautiful," she said genuinely. "Thank you." Narcissa lifted the necklace out of the box to put it on.

"Oh, and would you please call me Cissa?" She had been meaning to say something about that for a while. "Miss Black makes me feel... old. And I daresay you know me well enough."

He nodded his head at her 'thank you', watching her put the necklace on with interest. He was right, it did look stunning on her. He had excellent taste, if he did say so himself.

Raising an eyebrow at her request, he smiled slightly, "Of course, Cissa," He spoke with a purr to his voice, "And you might call me Lucius, as, as you say, we know each other well enough to do so," He was privately delighted they got on so well, really, as this was not only a marriage for money and prowess but for blood purity, and he thanked the heavens he was getting such a perfect match out of it.
