The time is before the Prophecy, and a young Lucius Malfoy is sent to explore the disappearance of a Death Eater family. When he comes across their bodies, he calls on Severus to assist him. Together they have to figure out the mystery behind the murder, and deal with the revelation of the Prophecy – and how Lucius and Narcissa’s son might be involved.

Lucius and Narcissa experiment with charms, and Lucius and Severus exchange a heated kiss. Then Narcissa gets confronted with her own silly stubbornness, and Lucius expresses that he’s just a tad bit nervous about the famed Black temper. He’d really rather let Severus explain a sticky situation than be forced to himself. After all, he has to live with the woman!

It was pretty tough to get this word count out today, but once I let these three take over the plot, I found it much easier to work through. They’re a load of fun to write, and their banter keeps even the tamest of conversations quite entertaining. I guess that’s to be expected of a trio of Slytherins.
