A/N: Thank you all so much for reviewing my last story, since it gave me the courage to write up another one. Sorry its taken so long, but with the Holidays underway and all, I was distracted and drawn away from writing a lot. R&R please! :3

Prologue

Draco hurried across the school grounds, the cool morning air adding moisture to the sweat on his face as he ran.

Why do you go to him everytime, if he's your father, a little voice in his head whispered. It doesn't become a Malfoy, to get on your knees and-

Draco stopped the voice quickly as his father came into view at the edge of the forest, knowing that he had Legimens intact at all times, and could easily read his traitorous thoughts. And wouldn't that just make him happy, to have a reason to punish Draco... Stop! Not now! Draco thought to himself, steeling himself against the anxiety and nervousness he obviously gave off.

''Draco, what a pleasure to see you,'' Lucius Malfoy quipped, looking disinterested in all but a few of his son's affairs. ''Well, don't just stand there, come and greet your master...''


Draco felt as if he was going to suffocate as he walked slowly, trying to be easy on the twinges of familiar pain that came with every one of his father's 'visits'. Drying his tears did no good, and he sobbed freely behind the greenhouses, grieved that his father now had a new way to get to him, since Draco would be staying at Hogwarts for the remainder of the year due to extensive tutoring and study sessions for upcoming NEWTS. At first he had been delighted, but when his father had flooed him the night before he knew he was in for some kind of trouble. Especially when Lucius requested he meet with him at the edge of the Forest, and declining a meeting with his father was unacceptable, as he knew from prior experience. Malfoys never decline a request from their seniors, his father had stated with plain anger in his words.

But what was it to be a Malfoy, if he did nothing but kiss the hems of all the lunatics around him. He just didn't know. He was Draco Malfoy, star student, Slytherin seeker and Head Boy, future Death Eater, and Daddy's little whore.
