Prologue
In the darkness of the forbidden forest, a bargain takes place between two most powerful men of this century. At the same spot, three days later, they meet again.
A crying child is handed over to one and freedom of the wizarding world is handed over to the other.
"Don't cry my darling Draconisa. Shhhh." The man croons in a sickeningly sweet voice and the child starts wailing. She is only two years old and can't understand much but she does understand that this man whom she has been given to is not a nice man.
As the man retreats from the forest, the sobs of the little girl become louder. Even when she is placed in a crib in the room she has been provided in the man's house, she doesn't stop crying.
Where is mother? Where is father? She wonders, crying to herself.
At Hogwarts, in a small room with red colored walls and several toys scattered all over the floor, a two year old boy is crying too, though he doesn't understand why. Neither do Lily and James Potter who are trying to calm their son for the past fifteen minutes now. Albus had told them that the binding won't harm the kids in any way. Then why won't Harry stop crying.
In another part of Hogwarts. Narcissa Malfoy starts wailing loudly and heart-wrenchingly when she realizes that her daughter has disappeared.
The entire wizarding world celebrates the victory the next day. No-one can hear the sobs of little Draconisa Malfoy who is crying alone in her room for her mommy and daddy.
