"Awww, come on, Cissy!" Amycus called as he ran after her, causing the people around him to turn and look. "Just one date!" He didn't even realise he was creating a scene and was probably making things rather awkward and embarrassing for Narcissa. He trotted along behind her as the two of them reached the entrance to the Slytherin Common Room. "It'll be fun," he winked, trying to make it sound enticing.
What he didn't know, however, was that Lucius Malfoy was on the other side of the wall, probably hearing everything they were saying.

Narcissa rolled her eyes. ”No. It’s really not.”
Slughorn hadn’t even finished tell them that the lesson was over before she was flying out of the door, not caring about her potion or the rest of her ingredient. All she wanted was to get away from Amycus.
Of course, this just wasn’t her day as he was out right on her heels and whining after her. He was insisting that their ‘just one date’ would be fun, and once again, she almost laughed out loud. Fun with Amycus? She could only begin to imagine. ”I think we have different understandings of the word ‘fun’…” She muttered it under her breath, concentrating on getting back to the common room where she could at least go to her room to escape from her.
Amycus twittered on behind here the whole way. Gods! She was getting some really weird looks – from Slytherins and non Slytherins alike. She groaned. This really wasn’t her day, was it?
With a sigh, she muttered the password to the common room under her breath and slipped through, not closing it fast enough to delay Amycus as he grabbed it before she could pull it back shut.
Unfortunately for her, and probably Amycus too judging by the glare they were both receiving, Lucius Malfoy stood facing them, standing between the entrance way and the stairs. Great… now what?
An idea struck her and even while she was inwardly cringing at the very idea of it, she couldn’t stop the words that came out of her mouth as she turned to face Amycus again. ”You’re right, Amycus. It does sound fun. I’ll accept.”
She gritted her teeth and gave him a brief hug, almost hating herself, before skirting away, fully intending to side step them both and escape up the stairs.
What the hell had she just done. Glancing across the room she saw one face she wished she hadn’t –Bellatrix. And she didn’t look best pleased.[/i]
