late night cravings ;; lucius

[Narcissa Elladora Black]

Narcissa rolled onto her stomach and reached for her wristwatch on the bedside table. With a quick glance, she was able to see (with the help of her wand) that it was quarter to midnight. A deep sigh escaped her lips as she rolled onto her back once more. She was now looking up at the canopy of her bed, like she had been doing for the past hour. Narcissa could not remember the last time insomnia had affected her; she generally fell asleep at the same time every night. There wasn't anything she hadn't eaten or done that would keep her up this late, or at least nothing she could remember. Jealousy had hit her when she heard her other dorm mates sleeping peacefully in their beds, completely unaware that Narcissa Black was wide awake. Maybe the girl in the bed beside Narcissa, who was snoring ever so loudly, was actually keeping her up? Cissa knew this girl had a snoring problem, however she was generally asleep before she ever heard the girl. Now she knew why her other three dorm mates were constantly yelling at the poor girl.

She had enough; she couldn't take it any longer. Instead of smothering the girl with a pillow, Narcissa simply slipped her feet into her slippers and placed a robe over her night gown. What she was about to do was completely against school rules, but Narcissa had to escape her dormitory. She could simply retreat to the common room, but it was cold and lonely in there and rather creepy at this hour. Narcissa tip-toed down the stairs leading up to the girls dormitory and made way towards the exit of the Slytherin house in a rather quick jog. The fire had gone out, and being that the common room was underneath the lake, the room was pitch black. The only source of light she had was from the tip of her wand, and even then there wasn't much light.

The castle at night was such a sight to see and once Narcissa had left the dungeons, she knew it wasn't long before she reached her destination. No longer did she need her wand; the moon light shone in through the windows that she passed. She stayed close to the wall opposite the windows, for if someone was to pass by Naricssa could easily hide behind the large, stone columns that lit the hallways during the school hours. But from what she could see, and hear, there was no one in sight. She continued down the rather long hallway, constantly on her toes (figuratively), ready to hide if needed.

But there was no need to hide since Narcissa had made it to her destination unseen. She tickled the pear on the canvas before her, and then the doorway to the kitchen had opened. The large room was dark and bare since the house elves were not needed to make food. The four long tables that represented the four houses of Hogwarts were set with plates, silver wear, etc. but it would be several more hours before those plates were actually on the tables above. The room lit up as soon as Narcissa had stepped inside however it was nearly five minutes before an elf made its way to help her. "Milk and a chocolate chip cookie." she ordered, not fully aware that the elf had come to tell her she wasn't allowed there. But Narcissa wasn't going to take no for an answer. She demanded to be served, telling the elf she hadn't had any dinner. Cissa had also threatened the elf, though she wasn't sure how effective it was. But a few minutes later Narcissa was given what she wanted. A smile came across her plump lips though she did not thank the elf at all. He was a servant and there was no need to thank someone of that status. She sat at the closest table with her back towards the rest of the kitchen and entrance, and picked at her cookie. She wasn't even hungry, she just needed to get out of that room.

[Lucius Damocles Malfoy]

Under most situations you would never find Lucius up at this ungodly hour. As he slipped back into the school beneath the cloak of shadow. His long hair hidden under his low pulled hood. His fingers holding onto the edge of the leathery cowl to keep it in place. The weather had recently gone from cold numbing snow to blinding rain. There lord had assured them soon the weather would let up and soon they would be in the position they were looking for. He knew for a fact some of the others were less than pleased with having to sneak out and do this. He had no problems with it he was a Prefect as well. He made sure not to encounter either the Head Boy or Head Girl, his footfall soft and quiet. What he needed right now was a house elf to do his bidding like at home. He made his way down into the Dungeons and into the kitchens with a tap of his wand.

There was no use returning to his dorm rooms there was likely no one there. Parkinson rarely slept there he was doing something on the sly for the Dark Lord what Lucius hadn't been told but than there wasn't alot of others being told what was going on with who. Well Severus was getting married that much Lucius knew, and he planned to make sure he at least had a fantastic wedding, he was his friend after all regardless of his blood. It had also been Lucius's nature to look after Severus since he'd arrived at Hogwarts. Of course Lucius also had Severus looking after him in turn. Concidering he was handsome, wealthy and from a noble blooded family. He had enough issues with girls tossing themselves at him. Lately he'd noticed Bellatrix's little sister in a different light. Of course he was always polite to her before she was a Black, another well respected family. However, he needed to start making his plans before he was out of school completely.

Like the young blond Lucius himself slipped along the wall where he could easily disappeare into the shadows of one of the towering landmarks of the castle. He didn't get caught often and certainly not tonight. Still there was a tell tale trail of water on the ground behind him from where his cloak had swept behind him, so naturally his lack of stealth showed. He just didn't notice it. The kitchesn were already alight when he reach the kitchens, having dispersed with the pear on the canvas and slipped in completely. His lips set as he started to call for a House elf, but the Kitchens were huge and he was well aware of the presence of another he wasn't sure whom else might be in there with him until he stepped further into the Kitchen. "Hot tea." he ordered when the House elf appeared giving it a sneer as he took took the cup. The whole castle was infested with the filthy things. Obiously Lucius Malfoy saw no reason for them other than servants.

He swept his hood back and he pulled his hair from the hold so it came free around him. Dropping the soaking mess into the arms(and ontop) of the unfortunate House Elf that had brought him tea. "Place it in my things." he commanded. Than made his way to where Narcissa was sitting at the table. "Good evening Narcissa." he said proving that he did in fact know who she was rather than Miss.Black. "How do you fare this lovely and wet." he made a face. 'Evening ?" motioning to the outside. "Seems the snow will have reinforcements by morning and it will be quiet icy, if it does not out right melt the snow." he fancied her with a smile. "Though enough of that, may I join you ?" he asked holding up his tea cup and inclining his head to the table near her. That ever present charming smile on his face. Though for Narcissa his smile actually reach his eyes and sparkled there brightly. A sigh of affection for Malfoy at least.
