DANCE FLOOR
Narcissa bristled as Rita would not let the subject go. What was it with this woman and needing to know "the truth"? Why did it matter so much? She glanced over at the woman hanging on her arm, trying to keep her disposition cool. She knew she would read into any kind of physical response and use that in a story whether Narcissa confirmed or denied anything. Perhaps that would actually be the best idea?
Still, despite her need to keep a calm exterior, her eyes flashed when she mentioned Severus. It was still a sore subject for her, being rejected and left behind for a stupid mudblood! She was beginning to wish her sister had not returned the student after all. She cleared her throat, looking out among the guests once more. "Severus and I are not together. Perhaps we were at one time, but we were never official. I could never be with someone of that blood standing. You must understand after all." She gave Rita a knowing look; anyone of lesser blood purity simply would not do! "As to myself and Lucius, there is no relationship there either. I find myself sadly single." Well, it was true in a way. She and Lucius had made no official statements of being a couple and this was not the place (or person) to state otherwise.
