A MOTHER’S LOVE.
Protection. The art of shielding a loved one from great harm or danger, an action expected to be taken by a mother, in any circumstance. Of course, protecting her son was Narcissa Malfoy’s only intention nowadays, as it had been since he was conceived, but now more than ever.
Danger. It loomed around every corner, the unknown being faced on a day-to-day style. It was unbearable for the mother of one child, trying to shield a rebellious child from war.
DEVASTATION. The art of being destroyed to ashes, and having to rebuild oneself from the dust, whilst protecting her only pride and joy from any harm that may come.
TWO DAYS since Lucius Malfoy was tried and found guilty of all charges. Leaving behind his wife and son, the matriarch of course took it upon herself to keep her and her son safe. Especially now that the Dark Lord was planning on taking his fury with Lucius out on Draco. Narcissa was not having any of it. Already, she had tried to settle negotiations with The Dark Lord. It ended with a hard slap against her beautiful, porcelain cheek, a scolding, and a horrible offer. An offer that would be taken only if it meant her son would be at no risk. Draco had been personally invited to join the Dark Lord’s cause, and to accept the Dark Mark.
“ Draco, “ Narcissa initially pleaded, keeping her voice as low as she could manage, for she did not want to create a scene, “I have made a deal with the Dark Lord.” Her gentle eyes scanned his, and her pale, comforting hand, rested on top of his, gripping his wrist. “You’ve no longer any need to take the mark. I insist you do not take it, in fact. I’ve told you once and I will tell you a thousand times, there is no need for you to take your father’s place. He will be back with us.” Her other hand shook in her lap, where he could not see, “Until then, I will be the one to take the Dark Lord’s...” punishment “demands. It is my duty as your mother to take the burden. Now, you will still be attending school of course, so I suggest we take a trip to Diagon Alley tomorrow to purchase your supply list--”
