I OWN NO THING!
CHAPTER 1
Lucius Malfoy burst into the room he and his young family shared as guests in Yaxley Manor. He quickly began packing, sorting things hastily into two small suitcases bewitched with an Undetectable Extension Charm. One for him and Narcissa's things. The other for that of their infant twins.
His mind raced as he packed. The Dark Lord had vanished. Never in a million years had he dreamed that this could happen. Overtaken by a mere baby...no. It had to be a lie. Rumors had very little truth to them. Obviously someone was mistaken.
Lucius shook his head. All that would be sorted out in due time. For now he needed to focus on the safety of his family. The Ministry of Magic would be looking for them. It was necessary they go into hiding for a while. Lucius paused, distracted by the thought of it.
"Go into hiding," he muttered to himself, "A Pureblood wizarding family. My how quickly the tables have turned."
With the last of their possessions tossed into suitcases, Lucius zipped them and hurried out of the room and down the stairs. Narcissa was standing in the foyer, holding a sleeping baby boy and looking worried. He kissed her cheek and took her hand that wasn't busy.
"Time to go, Cissy. Wait...where's-"
"I'm sure she was here just a minute ago..."
Lucius couldn't help but chuckle even at this dark hour. It was so like his little girl to wander off.
"She can't be far. She's not even two yet. I'll go find her." said Lucius.
He set off down the corridor, poking his head into various rooms until at last he found her in the library. She on the floor, perched atop a cushion and reading-no not reading-looking at a book that was upside down. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Da...Da"
Just as he was stooping to pick her up, there was a loud bang from the front of the house. Narcissa came running into the room, barely managing to hold the two suitcases and the baby in her arms. The look on her face said it all. The Ministry had found them. His mind was a blur he took the suitcases from his wife as she grabbed his robes and they Disapparated.
The family landed safely at the home of a distant relative, looking disheveled, but okay. Bellatrix, Narcissa's sister, rushed out of the house to greet them. Lucius could not believe their narrow escape. It was such a relief to have his whole fam- oh no. His wife was still clutching the boy and all he had were the two suitcases. Lucius fell to his knees and sobbed for the first time in his life.
They'd forgotten her in their haste. He'd forgotten her. His beautiful baby girl.
