The Saddest Story Ever

The Black Leather Sofa

I had stuffed my face with the food served at The Great Hall after yet another sorting ceremony. I had suffered through 2 of these, I was only bothered about who was joining Slytherin, and the new pupil's I got to bully for not being in Slytherin. Back to the food, it wasn't as good as what it was at home, but it was acceptable. I could eat it given I was hungry.

I walked down to The Dungeons to my, shall we say, home, for the time being. I walked through the doors, and saw the comfy leather sofa calling my name, and so, I walked over and slumped onto it. I looked around the common room at the gasps and stares people were giving me, I put it to the fact that I was a Malfoy.

I glanced over at some figure who had just walked down the stairs, or rather, having a closer look, Bellatrix Black. She was something to look at alright, but she was three years older than me, and my parents decided who I was to get involved with, but I'd take my chances.

I watched her as she greeted her friends, her friends who were sat around me, and I realised the unwritten rule of the black leather sofa, and why people had gasped and stared at me. These weren't just seats to sit on, they were reserved for older pupil's. I didn't care. I was Lucius Malfoy. I can sit where I wish. I stared back at her with a raised brow as she stared deep into my eyes and I raised a brow when she demanded me to move. Maybe she forgot who she was speaking to. I was quite comfy and decided I'd get more comfortable, so I relaxed more into the sofa.

I found it amusing how she stared down her nose to me. Like I was a nobody, usually it didn't end well for the other person when they did that to me. We were having a stand off, and I'd only just met her, properly. We'd seen each other around due to being part of the Sacred Twenty-Eight at dinner parties, we'd never actually come face to face, or spoken a word to each other. I would stand my ground... or rather, sit. A Malfoy always, always got what he wanted. At least, Lucius did.

Then she suddenly sat on my lap all of a sudden. So she wouldn't give up that easily? I smirked, realising this would be the first of many power plays. I'd be determined to win every single one of them. I relaxed further into the sofa, letting her know that I wouldn't back down so easily.

I moved my hand and brushed hers, it was an accident, but when she turned and stared into my eyes, I didn't care less. I'd do what I wanted. I was sat here first after all.

I decided that I won this little power play.
