A Bond That Never Breaks

Prologue: Torn Apart

ShadowsNite

& ( ) 17 years ago, Muggle London.

A sharp crack is heard throughout the quite neighborhood of Muggle London. Swiftly a cloaked figure is seen walking across the deserted street a small bundle in his arms.

At a closer look the figure seemed to be about 6'10" and had long, blond hair that was tied in a black ribbon at the base of his neck, and had, at the moment, soft gray-blue eyes, glossy with unshed tears.

The figure, was none other than Lucius Kataïev Malfoy

In his arms, he held a small baby girl. She was his goddaughter and how he wished he didn't have to do what he had come there to do. Her family, along with his, had gone over the current. . . situation several times and had not come up with a very promising solution. Almost all of them ended in the baby girl dying or being turned into Voldemorts' little 'plaything'. At this he shuddered at the thought. No, this was the only way. No matter how heart breaking it was. This needed to be done.

Sighing to himself, he whispered an everlasting glamour charm on the girl. Her beautiful black hair turned brown and curly. Her blue eyes turned a hazel nut brown that shone radiantly from the street lights. They looked at her holder, as if questioning his motives. Sighing once again he transfigured his cloak into a basket, complete with baby blanket, and set her in it as gently as he could.

"My little Arrellane. How I wish I could be there with you. Watching you grow up into the fine woman I know you will become. Please. Never forget your family. We will find you as soon as my 'Lord' is vanquished. We will come for our Arrellane." At this he let the tears fall. Standing in his spot for longer than he needed to. He bent down and clasped a gold bracelet around her tiny wrist. On it were the initials 'A.C.Z. Never forget'. As a final touch he pulled out the letter he was supposed to attach to the 'package'.

"Our Dear Child,

Please understand that our choice did not come about easily. We tried thinking of anyway to keep you. But we found none. We are truly sorry and deeply remorseful. We hope your adoptive parents have treated you well and have given you the love you deserve. We are deeply thankful to them. There are 100 Galleons attached to this letter. It is for anything your parents may need help with. Just because we gave you up to strangers does not mean we do not love you. Your mother has been driven to tears just thinking about losing you. But our world is no place for an innocent young one to grow up in. Much less be used for someone else's entertainment. We hope to see you soon.

Love always,

CAZ, TGZ, BBZ, NEM, LKM and DXM"

With another great sigh he apparated back to Malfoy Manor where everyone was waiting for him.

At the sight of her husbands' best friend, Cathryn Ariel Zabini broke into heart wrenching sobs. Lucius Malfoy didn't so much as glance at his wife as he just went to the nursery where his son and godson were currently playing.

As he opened the door two big pairs of eyes watched him curiously. As if wondering whether or not Arrellane was with them or not. Lucius sat in the overly cushy beanbag chair that was located in the corner of the room. Putting his hand in front of his eyes he smiled a bitter smile as he could still smell his goddaughters scent on his hands. This only caused him to breakout in silent tears. He was startled when he felt the tugging of his trouser pants. Looking down he saw his son and best friends' son sitting on his feet looking up at him. They too were close to tears as if they understood what was going on. And how the trio. Just became a duo...

Picking up the two babies he placed them both on his lap and held them close. Crying as the others were sure to be doing in the next room. And how the two youngest members on both families were sobbing at the loss of their sister... everything was torn apart... only to be sewed back together in 17 long years...
