What if I wanted to fight

Lucius Malfoy || 17 || Slytherin [Part of a closed RPG]

A bittersweet moment

Sorry guys, this one's out of character. but hey, you're all still following this blog even though it's been cut (out of laziness or perhaps you haven't received the memo. doesn't really matter, I just figured that this would be the most understanding group of people I could talk to about this.)

It's really been great working with a group of folks like yourselves. I regret that I have not been as active as I thought I would. (I also regret trying to work this off of a side blog. that's really what got me into trouble a lot.) And I will miss being Lucius. I wish I had been more imaginative in my role and given more starters to get some conversations going, but alas, it was not to be.

On another note, I am a bit content that I was nudged out like this. It was a considerable amount of work and stress (yep, it was stressful at times, trying to come up with a starter or a "stuck up" viewpoint on someone else's comment.) to keep up with all of this. Yet I didn't want to let it go. Even now it is hard to be done, to let someone else take over. But I couldn't bring myself to try again. I'd fail as I did the last time and there is no reason to try and keep this character to myself and not allow someone better fit to take this and run with it.

I think I’ll stick with my good marks. But just not today.

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

Do have fun. I'd hate to see a day go to waste.

[jamesxmatthews-deactivated20170]

"Some days, I do not want to do coursework."

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

Welcome to the land of the normal people. Don't stay too long though, Evans, you might find that you like it. And where would we be without the high end of our grading curve.

A gift from Father

After finishing up a few sentences, Lucius decided his homework could wait for a little longer. He was starting to see incantations and potion ingredients on the back of his eyelids every time he closed his eyes. He rolled up his parchment, closed his books, and headed to the dormitory to put them away for the moment so he could go out and see who was about.

As he looked around the common room, there was not a soul in sight. This was best for studying. This way, he could fail to care in peace and not have to pretend to care about some first year who lost his shoe or something. Lucius preferred not to care. All he needed to do was get through this year and them he didn't need to care about anyone but himself.

And Narcissa... 

At the door of the dormitory, Lucius hear a little pop inside. "house elf," He thought to himself, "better not touch my things." Lucius opened the door and strode over to his bed where he noticed what the house elf was likely doing there. At the foot of his bed was a black stick he recognized very well. It was the walking staff his father had promised to give him. 

There was a note tied to one of the snake head's fangs. It was from his father. On one side it said, "use it well," on the other was a spell.

Lucius decided to be cautious with this gift and talk to Snape to see if he know what the spell would do before using it.

He was not in the mood to see anyone from his house, including Malfoy.  And the brat slamming the door open did nothing for his headache.  His brows frowned as he pinched the bridge of his nose.  ”Lucius…  You know how easy it is for me to make up my work.  Missing a few days will not hurt me or my grade.  And I know you are perfectly capable of completing a potions essay without my help, I’ve seen you do it before.”  He just rose an eyebrow at the mention of sleep.  ”I’ve gone longer without sleep then this.”

"I’m here because I want to be here.  If I do need to be in one of these beds soon, there is no better place to be."

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

"I see that you are taking this lack of sleep real well." Lucius noted at the clear signs of a headache.

"well to each his own I suppose." And with that, Lucius turned and strode out the door with every intention on being back quite soon. He stopped at the door to make one last offer. "Oh, would you like one of your assignments to keep you busy so you don't fall asleep?"

[thehalfbloodprince-severus]

Severus knew he needed to sleep in his bed back in the Slytherin House, but he did not want to deal with his housemates at this point in time.  That and he didn’t want to leave the hospital wing unprotected.  There was no knowing if one of his Housemates would attempt to try this again on the two girls, and he didn’t want to take the chance.  

He was probably being too protective, glaring at anyone who dared to enter through the door.  He didn’t shoo anyone away, seeing as none of them were from his House, but his trust in others was a little low at the moment.  He had almost went into a panic when he had woken up from a nap to find Lily gone until one of the students that was visiting Mary told him she had left herself.

Severus sighed and leaned back in his chair, messaging his temples.  He was starting to form a headache from not getting enough sleep or food.

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

Lucius, needing as always to be overly dramatic, threw open the doors to the hospital wing so that they nearly slammed shut again.

"Severus! Severus, where have you been? You're falling behind in your school work, no one knows where you are, and I can't do a thing for my potions essays. I need my tutor back and you need to not fail your classes." There was a pause as Lucius took note of his surroundings, "and get some sleep. How long have you been up?"

Lucius knelt to Severus' level to examine the worry lines in his face. "you know, if you keep this up, you'll end up in one of these beds yourself. Why are you even here?" He looked around to see who Severus would be looking after.

[jamesxmatthews-deactivated20170]

Are you saying he really is in love with me?

He proved to be someone else who only cares about my blood status.

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

Why do you think he created all those new spells. He wasn't trying to impress me, that I am certain of. Spells and potions of high quality and personal danger in creation to impress and seem of equal to a witch of high intelligence. However, if I was saying that, I doubt it would change anything. You seem a bit sore about him. After all, he is a Slytherin. We tend to put success and status above everything. 

[jamesxmatthews-deactivated20170]

James didn’t steal me from him! He’s the one who turned his back on me with that word. Why does everything make it sound like Severus is in love with me? We were friends. Merlin, everyone is so emotional about all this.

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

You know, you may be bright but you can be incredibly thick. You were the first person to be nice to him. What did you think would happen?

What did he do to you anyway? 

[jamesxmatthews-deactivated20170]

You know, it’s not always James fault. It’s not like Sever..Snape doesn’t antagonize James either. James actually makes a point to leave him alone now and hearing how James is horrible and victimizes him all he time gets really bloody old.

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

Oh no, believe me. Severus does get hurt far too easily, and then it takes a terrible long time for him to cool down. Hell, He still mutters himself to sleep about Potter "stealing" you from him. He has his issues but, then again, you knew him better than anyone. You should know his tendencies.

[jamesxmatthews-deactivated20170]

Told Dumbledore pairing him with Seve..Snape was a stupid idea and that he needed to have his head examined.  He overreacted to my constructive criticism.

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

Overreacted huh? You should know not to insult anyone in front of Dumbledore. I'll see what I can do to have Severus not kill your boyfriend (as much as I would like to see that fight) I still require Severus alive himself and not in detention. I don't know if I'd pass potions without him. I won't tell him not to defend himself though so if there's trouble, it'll be Potter's fault. I'm sure that wouldn't be overly surprising.

[jamesxmatthews-deactivated20170]

I do not want to go to detention.  I made it all this time without one and nothing about this sounds appealing. 

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

Really, Evans? You? That is precious. What could you have possibly done? Covered up for your boyfriend?

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

You know what? You’re right. Now I can insult and injure at the same time! [Lucius proceeded to make his point by grabbing the shoulders of James’ robes for emphasis] Now, what do you know about this? Who did it and how do I reverse it?

[headboy-james]

[As soon as Lucius put his hands on his shoulders, that was it. James’ expression darkened an he glared into the eyes of the blonde.] I’m not going to tell you jack shit.

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

["Father was right." Lucius thought, "I've lost control, and it's ruined the chance to fix the problem. Take back control!"  Lucius regained his composure and let go of James' robes. He then proceeded to smooth out the ruffles he'd made a little too forcibly, gave James a smile full of "fuck you" and turned on his heel to walk away. As a preventative measure, Ludius also removed his wand from inside his robes and stuffed it up his sleeve for easy access.]

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

Potter! what do you know about this? This is either your doing or one of your little groups. Anything that happens, you are the first to know so HOW DO I GET THIS OFF?

[headboy-james]

Maybe it was. Whoever it was is a fucking genius.

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

You know what? You're right. Now I can insult and injure at the same time! [Lucius proceeded to make his point by grabbing the shoulders of James' robes for emphasis] Now, what do you know about this? Who did it and how do I reverse it?

[headboy-james]

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

Potter! what do you know about this? This is either your doing or one of your little groups. Anything that happens, you are the first to know so HOW DO I GET THIS OFF?

[davey-the-adventurous]

If anything, you will ware him away with laughter to a point he will answer you.

Well, if you’re gonna go and kill James for hurting your friend, I’m sure you can ask him about how to reverse… whatever happened to you.  Something tells me he’s been itching for a fight.

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

I suppose I'll skip Pettigrew and jump right to the head of the group. Potter will have the embarrassment of being beaten by a kitten faced man. That should keep him from trying to mess with people who are better than himself.

[davey-the-adventurous]

Snape hasn’t been around all day.  And you could probably just ask the poor boy.  You are rather intimidating, if I do say so myself.

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

You find this face intimidating?

Wait... What do you mean Severus hasn't been around all day? What happened to him? 

Dammit! POTTER! WHAT DID YOU DO NOW?

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

You do have a point I suppose. I think I’ll start with Pettigrew. He usually has some idea of what’s up with those pests.

What do you think, Public humiliation or more diabolical private torment?

[davey-the-adventurous]

What ever you think works.  I’m not one to do much ‘public humiliation’ or ‘diabolical private torment’.

[abaraxasmaloysboy]

Public it is then! Now where is that pathetic lump? I'll bet he's running after Potter or Sirius. Better yet, where's Severus? He would enjoy the torture of one of the Marauders. and he's a great help with "enemy" spells.
