Fishing Trip.
This is so not what Draco had in mind when his father said the family would go fishing. He'd seen muggle shows (don't tell his father) the father and son would go to a river with fishing rods (or so Potter had called them) and they would talk about a number of things. Eventually they'd catch a large fish and they'd bring it home where the mother would cook it and they would sit around the table eating and giving a re-count of the fishing trip. Now ok Draco knew some of those things weren't ever going to happen, the whole sitting by a river, yeah right more like sitting on the family yacht on a private lake, and mother wouldn't know what to do with a live fish if it slapped her in the face. So yeah not exactly the same but everything else yeah he kind of wanted that. So here he was sitting at the back of the yacht with his father throwing Expeliamus spells into the lake (Draco had brought up the whole fishing rod idea but Lucius had just looked at him like Draco had just told him Muggles had just invaded the manor). His mother was inside on what had to be her fourth Cosmo and it looked like it was going to be a long day.
The afternoon drew on and finally Lucius caught a fish with his spell it flew up into the air and Draco was ready with his wand to cast a wingardium Leviosa spell (no nets for this Malfoy) to bring it aboard. Lucius had a shit-eating grin on his face and Draco just wanted to go back to the manor, wondering if he could sneak out later to see Potter. Well-done father said Draco placing the fish into a box, but it was as if Lucius didn't hear him, he had a glazed over look in his eyes. Lucius Vision "Oh daddy your so amazing I want to be as strong and as handsome as you one day", "Yes son I know" replied Lucius "I am incredibly handsome and strong". End Lucius Vision What the fuck thought Draco but decided it was best not to ask.
They took the fish inside were Narcissa looked to have moved onto the hard Fire Whiskey and was in the middle of regaling the elves with a tale of her younger years and crying. Lucius however didn't seem fazed by this at all Lucuis Vision "Oh darling how wonderful it is that your back, and you caught such a large fish, your so strong and powerful", "Yes I know" replied Lucius "I am powerful and don't forget handsome". End Lucius Vision Draco looked at his father like he was on drugs and then looked back over to his mother who was now crying and telling all the elves how much she loved them. Fuck this shit thought Draco and headed back to his room and waited until they headed home.
When they got back to the Manor Lucius thankfully went back to his study muttering to himself about being powerful, strong and oh so handsome. Narcissa was put to bed and Draco kind of felt sorry for the poor elf that had to do it as she was still crying and hugging the creature hard enough to strangle it. Draco went to his room and wrote an owl to Potter telling him of the disaster that was his day. An owl arrived later and when Draco opened it was to the sound of Potter's laughter filling his room, he quickly closed the note and ripped it up.
Next time his father suggested a family trip anywhere Draco was just going to saying fucking no.
The End
