Jasmine

Lucius always knew when she entered a room. Because whenever Narcissa walked in there was a sharp sweet scent that overruled everything. It did not matter if he was sitting in the midst of the great hall eating with his friends while making a bad attempt to keep up with the conversation or if he was at some fancy pureblood dinner. Lucius would know when Narcissa walked into the room. She was, though few seemed to see it, a force of nature and just like the scent of jasmine that followed her she demanded attention and Lucius Malfoy was more than happy to give it to her.

That day was no different. Lucius looked up from his almost empty plate as soon as the sweet scent reached his nostrils. There she was. Her hair cascaded perfectly around her somewhat round cheeks and she had a smile that made her look as if she was thinking about something she was not supposed to. Knowing Narcissa she probably was. Being born into a pureblood family meant knowing much more than you were allowed to speak of. She moved with grace, the kind one could not be taught but was born with. He allowed his sarcastic outer to fall and smiled. Actually smiled. The way he only could when she was around.

Their eyes locked and Narcissa increased her speed. She did not ask if she could sit next to him. She just did. Just like the smell of jasmine she took the place she wanted without apologising. She smiled.

"Good morning."

Lucius took a deep breath through his nose. His smile grew. Jasmine. The scent of her. "Good morning."
