Narcissa felt the sudden feeling of being pushed through a pipe. Her breath was fleeing but soon she'd land on her feet, in front of Malfoy Manor. It was a dark day like it always was in the UK. Nevertheless, the few flowers that remained in the gardens stuck out from the grey and gloom. It was a sight she'd always remember. She hoped the memory was not just the looks but of how she felt too. It was a miracle that her family wouldn't be going to Azkaban.
"Well a new life awaits," Narcissa said, striding to the front door of their home. Inside, no light could be spotted as they were expecting to be taken to Azkaban that day. Casting a spell to one lantern, fire catched inside it and she could see the table which it stood on. "Open the drapes Draco." Draco did as he was told but it didn't help their sight as much as they would've liked.
"Lumos," Draco muttered, the tip of his new wand illuminating. He could feel himself drowning already in this house. Everyone he had met in this house had to be superior to him. Only once had he felt like he had an equal here and it was with one other schoolmate. Theodore Nott, another Slytherin in his year. His father was also a Death Eater. No one knows what's happened to him though.
As Narcissa lit all the lights, Draco and Lucius hurried to seal themselves to their rooms.
The sun fell and the clouds took over the moon's light. Draco sat on his giant bed, which it's frame had been hand carved. Surely it must of cost his parent's a fortune but it seemed no big deal to them. That is what he had grown up with, money being tossed, prejudice being all around him but he was so unaware of how awful it was. Anyone who had been raised like he was would've said and done the things he had.
Draco held his wand in his right hand to alert any thoughts and people that may come his way. Why did they let us go? We should be tossed into a muggle life.. Stop - muggles are fine... He tried to hold his prejudice back for it only made him hated among many.
He slipped to the floor and grabbed a coat. Draco twisted the snake doorknob to open the door. "Mother!" Draco yelled, "I am going out." He heard footsteps but quickened his pace to meet the front door first. He heard the rain hitting the stone of the house and the thunder that crackled next.
"Draco," Narcissa called. "Where are you going? It's not safe for you- for any of us!" She added, shutting the door he was opening.
"I'm fine," he responded, determined to not let a hint of emotion in his voice. Thankfully, his aunt had taught him well, he would be able to do legilimency for years. "I'm going to Diagon Alley." Then why were you walking out the door? Stupid! I should've just apparated! He thought at last moment.
"Go tomorrow morning, it's dark out," Narcissa replied. "Have you seen the clock? It's eleven at night, nothing is open. Bed." She finished and turned him to the direction of his room.
"Fine," he paced to his room, locking the door. Instead of hopping into bed, he scanned the several potions he had in the dark room. They were labeled, one having written on it Sleeping Draught. He grasped it and slid under his green duvet. He opened the little bottle, taking a swallow of it's contents.
As Draco fell into a dreamless sleep, Narcissa had wondered what the next day would look like. She had only known that Lucius had taken a sleeping draught too, not Draco as well. She decided on seeing if he was actually going to sleep. Wiggling the knob she realized he used a simple charm as well. Narcissa smiled, laughing at how easy he thought it would be to stop anyone from coming in.
"Alohomora," she whispered. The next moment the door was ready to be opened. She peered into the room, the bottle catching her eye. It disappointed herself, that her son needed something to help sleep too. I probably should've left him alone. She thought as she closed the door.
The next day, Narcissa met the morning with two others being depressed. "Wake up! Draco, Lucius!" She shouted throughout the house. "Draco you need to eat or you're not going to Diagon Alley!" At the beckon, Draco entered the hall, turning his head to find where his mother was calling from. He found her in the kitchen, looking into the fridge.
"Oh good, you're awake. Go get your father, please," she grabbed a cart of eggs and began cracking them into a bowl.
He found him in his room, asleep. "Father," Draco said loudly, not bothering trying to wake him up nicely. "Wake up! Breakfast, come and eat." His father woke with an annoyed expression. "Come on," Draco left quickly, not wanting to talk.
Back in the kitchen, Narcissa threw in bread into a toaster. She dashed several eggs onto a pan as Draco came in. "Will you butter the toast?" She asked, as the slices popped out of the muggle contraption. Waving her wand, she gathered another pan and bacon onto it.
As the two prepared breakfast, Lucius made no attempt to greet them. Narcissa went and asked if he wanted to eat but he shrugged, saying he'd eat at some other time.
"Well, Draco is going to Diagon Alley so maybe you want to go with him?" She asked, imagining Draco slumping as she told him his father was coming along with him.
"No, I'll stay here. Clean up the place," he muttered, scanning the bedroom. Several potion bottles were knocked over from his attempt to get the sleeping draught within seconds.
"Fine, eat when you want," Narcissa left the room. She met Draco at the dining table. He had brought the food to the table on several dishes that Narcissa loved to use. She dished herself a plate of the breakfast food. "Draco, I think I'll come with you to Diagon Alley. Is that alright with you?" She arched an eyebrow.
"Sure," he replied. Draco wasn't going to argue, as she always won their arguments.
She smiled lightly. At least you won't have to pay for everything then, Narcissa thought. The rest of the meal, the two sat quietly eating.
