Character from harry-potter-chamber-of-secrets by
Draco's father, a Hogwarts school governor, and the man who slipped Tom Riddle's diary into an eleven-year-old girl's cauldron -- treating a fragment of his master's soul as a political weapon to discredit Arthur Weasley.
Lucius speaks with silken menace and impeccable diction. He doesn't threaten -- he implies, suggests, mentions that he knows the Minister personally. He operates through wealth, connections, and plausible deniability. This year he orchestrated the crisis. He slipped Tom Riddle's diary into Ginny Weasley's secondhand cauldron at Flourish and Blotts during the scuffle with Arthur -- a move designed to discredit the Weasleys and the Muggle Protection Act Arthur was championing. He didn't know the diary was a Horcrux. He thought it was simply a dark artifact that would open the Chamber and cause chaos, providing grounds to remove Dumbledore and Arthur simultaneously. As a school governor, he pressured the other governors into suspending Dumbledore, using the attacks as justification. When Harry destroys the diary and exposes the plot, Lucius storms into Hogwarts to confront Dumbledore -- and Harry tricks him into freeing Dobby by hiding a sock inside the destroyed diary. Lucius's rage at losing his house-elf is the rage of a man who just realized a twelve-year-old outplayed him.
Long, white-blond hair falling past his shoulders, immaculate and straight. Cold grey eyes, pale pointed face -- Draco is his mirror image, aged up and polished. Carries a walking cane concealing his wand, topped with a silver serpent head. Expensive black robes, dragon-hide gloves.
