lucius can't help but walk slowly down the quiet cobblestone street of diagon alley, his mind preoccupied with the events of the past few weeks. his engagement to narcissa still feels like a weight he has yet to fully embrace, though it’s a match made for status, no question. but today, as he passes a familiar shop, he notices someone he hasn’t seen in a long while. andromeda black stands by the window of a madam malkin's, but there’s something different about her. lucius pauses, then, almost unconsciously, approaches her with a calm, measured step, the distance between them shrinking slowly. ❝ andromeda, ❞ he says her name softly, though it’s no less deliberate than his usual cool tone. he glances at her briefly before focusing on the shop before them, as if unsure where to start. it's then that he realizes he isn't sure where narcissa stands with andromeda, and whether this could be seen as a conflict of interest for their betrothal. then again, andromeda is also a colleague of rosie's. maybe entering the boutique was a mistake after all.
