It's Official

that [livejournal.com profile] sunnythirty3 is eeeeebil.



Disclaimer: Not mine. For the prompt, blame Sunny, not me. Credit goes to silverdoe for the invention of the Amortentia Bliss Sundae. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] blue_paris for the quick beta. Prompt at the end.

Hair

The eleven-year-old boy stared at the pretty girl, who was having an animated conversation with another student. She was not just pretty, no. There was something about her that caught his attention. Strength. Pure, raw, unhindered female strength. He knew in his very core that she would be the perfect wife for him one day.

*


When he was fourteen, at the end of his third year, his heart broke. She would be leaving Hogwarts, having just sat her NEWTs. He needed to talk to her. Finally. She'd probably laugh at him, but he would simply have to take that risk.

"Hey, Molly! Can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Sure." The pretty girl with the perfect shade of red hair, its length complete perfection, its silkiness undescribably beautiful, with legs shaped to perfection, and boobs that he just knew were made for his hands, smiled at him openly.

*


He'd just received the owl informing him how he did on his OWLs. Sitting in his lavishly oak-furnished bedroom, at his 300-year-old oak desk inherited from his great-grandfather, he pondered for a moment which quill to use. Molly always delighted in figuring out the quill he wrote correspondence with. Then, deciding on an antique goose feather, he took the quill and dipped it in the ink, ready to write on the parchment in front of him.

Dear Molly,

I have just received my OWL results. I am ever so pleased. Except for Divination, I received Es and Os. Divination is an F, of course, but then, I expected that.

I do hope you are well. Would you be opposed to meeting sometime? I would love to take you to Fortescue's and treat you to a nice ice cream. Just let me know if and when would suit you.

Lucius


*


"Hello, Lucius."

"Hello, Molly," Lucius replied. She looked positively gorgeous in her pettycoat type skirt that wasn't quite a skirt but more a robe and her fitted blouse. "What would you like to eat?"

Molly studied the menu in her typically serious manner and then looked up, smiling. "Thank you for inviting me, Lucius." She returned to the menu and blushed. "Ah, I think I'll have the Amortensia Bliss Sundae." She blushed and added, "It's just, I really like their mango ice cream, and it's in none of their other sundaes."

Lucius smirked internally. This was the perfect start for what he wanted to say. "No, no, that's fine, Molly." He cleared his throat discreetly. "Actually, I wanted to talk to you about..."

Molly's eyes rested on his face. "About?"

"Molly. I... I have been in love with you the moment I laid eyes on you when I entered Hogwarts. You are perfection. Will you marry me?"

Molly's eyes widened at his words. "Uh..." She squirmed in her seat. "Lucius, I am honoured, honestly. But..."

His face fell.

"No. It would not be right. Your family likes the Dark. I don't. I need Light in order to exist. And—" her voice reduced to a whisper, "—I feel comfortable with Arthur. At least his hair is no competition for mine."




[livejournal.com profile] sunnythirty3 dared me to write to the following prompt: Now, it is a rarely known secret that the reason Lucius hates Arthur Weasley is that he seriously fancied Molly, who was a few years ahead of him at Hogwarts. Why did she turn him down?

ROFL! The hair... fantastic! No wonder he was always sniping about the vulgar red hair.

Teehee, thank you!

Hair! It came down to hair! LOL very good. :)

Hee, with Lucius, what else could it be about? LOL

OMG! I'd never thought about that before. I wonder what they'd do if they discovered that Narcissa had secretly been seeing Arthur. Good thing that Draco looks so much like Lucius, then. :p

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
I never thought about it either. That's why I have to lay blame on [livejournal.com profile] sunnythirty3, lol.

Narcissa seeing Arthur secretly. Now, here's an idea! *snicker*

She is totally evil incarnate! It seems like all our chats eventually turn into something smutty and most often very bizarre. And I'm not the one doing it! (most of the time)

The more I think about it, the more I like it though. Perhaps I've finally found a Weasley pairing I can be bothered with? (Apart from Ginny in a Draco/Ginny capacity or similar)

OOOH! Or Narcissa finding out that he's seeing Molly on the side and instead of seeing red, she turns all cool and calculating and blackmails Molly into showing her what it is she can do for Lucius that Narcissa isn't doing... Hmmm!

DAMMIT! SEE WHAT YOU DID?!

*grins evilly*

I do like that premise, you know! You really should write it. I promise I'll review. :)

Not listening. Not liiiiisteniiiiing lalalalala!

*stuffs fingers in ears*

LALALALALALAAAA!

I'd have to agree with Molly--never date anyone with better hair and a smaller bum than you.

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
LOL! I've never thought about that!

[identity profile] natasnape.livejournal.com 2008-07-27 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
This was wonderful. I thought it was Arthur at first. Then, as you revealed Lucius, I figured that as the reason for Weasley family poverty. But hair as the deciding factor was a surprise. It fits so well with all Malfoy animosity towards the Weasleys, and their derogatory comments about red hair.

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, thanks! It's nice to see you on LJ again!!!

[identity profile] dreamy-dragon73.livejournal.com 2008-07-27 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
Rofl! I always knew there was a reason Lucius hated the Weasleys so much...

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes. *nods* It had to be hair, didn't it? LOL

::melts looking at your icon::

*scoops up lady_karelia*
Isn't he pretty? *g*
The icon was made by the lovely [livejournal.com profile] r3novatio

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
*straightens*

He looks absolutely perfect. What a talent r3novatio has! *admires*

[identity profile] apisa-b.livejournal.com 2008-07-27 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
LOL
That pairing was a surprise. Who would have known the reaso for Lucius's contempt of Arthur was unrequited love ...

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Teehee. I'm glad it came out surprising!

ahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Who knew! Perhaps Molly's, errrr, fashion sense, had not yet come into being.

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
*grins* I'd like to think her, errrr, fashion sense only developed as she started to realise what a big mistake she made by choosing Arthur over Lucius. :))

[identity profile] alabastard.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Mistake is right! Of course, Draco with red hair, just ... no!

I just love snarking and sneering at Weasleys. There are a couple of Mollys who will be at Terminus and like at Phoenix Rising, there will be much (planned) snarking all over the con between us ;-) ... I do think the Families in Fandom panel is a goal for this, with a Molly in attendance and one presenting.

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
I think snarking and sneering at Weasleys is a wonderful outlet in a way. If all of us could pool any kind of frustration into snarking at fictional characters, the world would be a wonderful place, don't you think? :) I totally admired Draco when he sneered, "Gryffindors!" on one occasion on that, I think Friday at Portus. LOL.

*squee* I might see you at Terminus, then. I don't have a ticket, but it looks like hubby is swinging an essential business trip to nearby. Gotta love them Slytherins. *grins*

We do have fun!

I hope you do swing by, Terminus is looking really big, but we're easy to find, definitely look us up.

[identity profile] notsosaintly.livejournal.com 2008-07-27 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice. A perfect set-up for their future relationship indeed.

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, thank you! I'm glad you think so!

[identity profile] voxangelus.livejournal.com 2008-07-27 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
That's an excellent explanation~ LMAO!!! The HAIR!!!

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
*grins in delight* I'm glad you think so!

[identity profile] hogwarts-91.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that is DIVINE! My husband had LONG blonde hair when we met, and it was one of the first things to get cut! (The other thing came many years later...)

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

ROFL! That other thing sounds ominous! *giggles*

[identity profile] m-mcgonagall-65.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Note to men: Having hair that is too pretty may be a seriously intimidating problem in getting a date. :-)

This certainly filled in some backstory to the Weasley/Malfoy enmity.

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Teehee, I've never thought about that! If I had been in Molly's place, I'd have appreciated playing with his hair. LOL
