Chapter 557 - Fernburgh Ⅱ (2/2)

”Weasley,” the cool voice of Lucius Malfoy interrupted him.

Arthur paused to stare at the younger wizard, who always seemed to be perfectly put together. Why even his long, pale blonde hair is silky smooth with nary a single hair out of place. If one did not know any better, one would suggest that there was a bit of Veela in the Malfoy bloodline. Not that the Malfoy's would ever admit to such a thing.

”Weasley aren't you going to let me in?” Lucius said with a gleam of smug pride in his eyes.

Moving out of the way, Arthur says, ”After you, Malfoy.”

Lucius brushes past him with his cane and all. Glancing at the rather small home when in comparison to the Malfoy Manor, he says, ”Well, Weasley, when Narcissa said that you had a lovely home, I did not imagine it to be quite so COZY.”

Arthur reigns his rising temper in. The Malfoy's and Weasley's had been feuding for countless generations now. No one really remembered how it all began, but the two families still loathed each other on sight. And tended to go out of their way to rile each other up. But this was his home, and he had promised Molly that he would behave.

Thank you, Malfoy,” Arthur stiffly said. ”Please have a seat in the parlor, the women are in the kitchen.”

”Very well,” Lucius said with disdain, before moving towards the parlor room and coming to an abrupt halt in the living room. ”Weasley!”

”Yes, Malfoy?” Arthur asked as he came to stand behind the younger wizard.

”What are they doing here!” Lucius pointedly declared as he pointed at the three children peeking at him.

”They are playing of course,” Arthur said with a roll of his eyes. ”Come now, Malfoy even you were a child once.”

Brushing past the somewhat uneasy younger wizard, Arthur says to the two-year-olds. ”Charlie, Dora, won't you say hello to Uncle Lucius?”

”Hello, Unc-o Lu-lu,” the two-year-old's said unable to properly say, 'Uncle Lucius.”

Lucius cold blue gray eyes flash Weasley an icy glare that would have rendered him limb from limb if possible. Tragically, he could not very contradict Weasley as Dora was his niece via marriage. But still the nerve of some people!

Deciding to maintain his composure, Lucius decides to ignore the children as he takes a seat from the red head child sipping his tea and chewing on a scone. Seeing a rather properly behaved child seated before him, Lucius nods his head at the child in acknowledgment, who nods back. Now this was a proper educated child. Must be the Prewett lineage from the mother, because the Weasley's had no proper decorum whatsoever.

However, Arthur hid his smirk as he knew that Malfoy had done the worst possible thing. He had ignored to rather bright two-year-old's, who know would do everything in their power to gain his attention. And said options were not always the most welcome.
