Lucius's wand, and the distinctive cane which housed it, was a family heirloom. Its original owner was his maternal grandfather, Tiergan Spinks. The old man passed away when Lucius was seven, but his ability to command deference from powerful dignitaries with the slightest arch of an eyebrow made a lasting impression on Lucius. One day, he swore to himself, he would equal his grandfather’s skill, if not surpass him.

The Azkaban sentence thwarted that ambition, but it was doomed to failure from the start. In all Tiergan’s dealings with wizardkind, not a soul noticed that he never unsheathed the wand.

[xturtle]

Oh, wow. That last sentence is killer. Well done!

[miramiraficfic]

Thank you! I thought I'd go for something other than the usual Veela blood.

[gmth]

Ooooh. That's an intriguing thought. Nifty idea!

[miramiraficfic]

Thanks!

[zephiey]

Thank you. This was wonderful and spot on.

[miramiraficfic]

So glad you liked it!

[ex_ella_bane358]

Oooh, good one!

[miramiraficfic]

Thanks!

[lilacsigil]

Oh, Lucius. There's more than one kind of skill, and value elsewhere than a bloodline - not that he would ever recognise this!

[miramiraficfic]

No, he wouldn't, even if he were let in on the secret. Glad you liked it.

[snapetoy]

Oh, this is very clever. What a terrific drabble!

[miramiraficfic]

Thank you! (And your icon is adorable.)

[hildigunnur]

Interesting and original. Great job!

[miramiraficfic]

Thanks!

*chuckles wickedly* Pity that Lucius didn't inherit his grandfather's common sense. Nicely done.
