ENTRY WAY OUTSIDE OF THE GREAT HALL
That evening was prepared for meticulously. No minor detail was overlooked, nor understated. Lucius Malfoy was a man of style and he radiated wealth in his chosen attire. He had ordered a specially tailored outfit for the event, albeit without the hat for this particular occasion. The puffed white sleeves of the ensemble helped to enhance his already broad shoulders, and the waist of the vest was wonderfully skin-tight, making him appear quite the pompous courtier. He would normally never be caught dead wearing such bright red; however, the red was appropriate for the event and Lucius was never one to downplay his style when he would be parading before a majority of the school.
Smiling in the mirror, he left his dorm room and headed down toward the Great Hall, passing numerous well-attired students and Professors alike, to whom he made his mandatory pleasant greetings and well wishes for a fine evening. It was a chore being Head Boy, but despite the faux politeness with which he needed to conduct himself, he found that the position was fitting.
As he'd effortlessly glided down the main staircase leading into the massive entryway, he spotted an attractive figure swathed in red with a simple, yet classy up-do. Putting on his most charming expression, he approached her and held out his arm after a quick and polite bow.
"Alecto, you look stunning, as I'd imagined. I hope you were not waiting long?" A few couples passed by them and headed into the Great Hall already. He watched them with interest and turned back to his date for the evening, grinning in a touch of enthusiasm. "Shall we head in?"
