closed starter for @sev---prince
--- narcissa’s thoughts on one severus snape were not the highest. the young man, while being a key part of everything her family was fighting for, was not somebody she deemed trustworthy. his years-long friendship with the well-known muggleborn lily evans made her question his loyalty to the cause he was serving ( although she was in no place to question his allegiances when she was, at this point, unsure of her own ). lucius seemed to trust him, though, which meant she would have to as well. that wouldn’t make her feign excitement when he approached her, though. she did her best to smile, raising her flute of champagne to him before taking a small sip.
--- “ you look . . . well, severus. ” she would have gone with handsome, but she didn’t want to lie. “ are you enjoying the party so far ? ” a strand of blonde hair was soon tucked behind her ear by gloved fingers as she saw lucius standing only a few meters away. she would have to indulge this boy in conversation for his sake. “ the decor is simply lovely if you ask me. ”
