Hey guys! First fic. I'm a bit nervous, but tell me what you think. I love to hear your thoughts. Enjoy!

Prologue:

A Malfoy has always been considered a privileged man. What he wanted he took. What he searched for he found. If a problem arose, he would use his money and magic to solve it. Wealth and power. Beauty and strength. Feared by many and trusted by none. He could charm any woman, and make any man afraid to even breathe in his presence. Yes, Draco was ready to become one of these powerful men. Once he completed his last year at Hogwarts School for magic, he would be taking over his father's world of power. He was ready, or so he thought. Little did Draco know, at the age of seventeen, money and power wouldn't solve all his problems. He didn't know his life would soon be in grave danger.

Chapter 1: Birthday surprises

June 5th, 1997

Narcissa POV:

Narcissa Malfoy briskly walked around the house, checking to make sure nothing was amiss. Today was the day! Her darling boy was turning 17, the age of adulthood in the wizard in community. Draco had turned into a very handsome young gentleman, and she was eager to introduce him to all of the lovely and eligible pureblood females in the nearby towns. Oh she could not wait until he was married, so she could spoil her little grandchildren! She tried to slow her excited pace to a walk as she neared Draco's room; running would not help keep her appearance as a lady. As she got to the closed doors of her son's room she heard deep moans coming from the inside. Her thoughts were at war as she considered what she should do.

"Oh dear, "she thought "Draco must be having one of his private moments. Well he is a seventeen year old boy, he will have...urges. Perhaps I should leave him... No. It's his special day and he must come down to see my preparations!"

With that thought firmly in place, she hesitantly knocked and opened the door.

"Draco honey? I know you must be busy but I prepared a special birthday breakfast for... "

Her words ended abruptly with a scream as she caught sight of her son. Pale as a ghost and shaking head to toe, Narcissa immediately knew something was wrong. Her son was kicking the sheets off of his sweaty body and emanating low, painful groans from deep within his chest.

"Draco?! Oh my baby what happened to you?" Narcissa cried as she neared his quaking form.

Upon closer inspection of her ailing son, she noticed the small, white tufts of feathers appearing near his shoulder blades. Before her very eyes she watched as two stubs grew out of her child's back. His quaking increased, as well as the intensity of his painful groans.

Narcissa knew something was wrong. She had to find her husband and a doctor quickly!

"Don't worry Draco I will bring your father he will know what to do." she said with tears in her eyes. She could not stand to see her son in so much pain.

She quickly apparated away before breaking down in sobs.

Lucius POV

Lucius Malfoy was having a very bad day. The meager workers he employed just weren't meeting the standards he needed. What could he say? He was an impatient man. When he said he needed something now, he wanted it immediately not 10 minutes later.

Today his frustrations had been mounting by the minute. This incident was the last thing needed to finally push him over the edge. He picked up the nearest book and hurled it at the quaking man in front of him.

"When I said I needed those files at 5:00 I bloody well expect them on my desk at 5:00. It is now 5:30 and it suddenly fit your busy schedule to bring them to me?" Lucius' voice was the deathly calm of a monster kept at bay. His sarcasm seemed obvious to him but apparently not to the bumbling idiot in front of him.

Maxwell's voice shook as he tried to stutter out an apology. "I-I-I'm sorry sir but the files were buried d-deep in desk of an employee that is out sick today. It was locked and it took a long time to find the..."

Lucius was sick of his ramblings, as he roared "You idiotic fool! We almost lost a 10,000 galleon deal because of your damn problems! ". Lucius took a deep breath to steady himself. "Your actions should have dire consequences, but I am letting you off easy. You're fired. This company has the Malfoy name on it and its standards will not be lowered because of people like you. But be warned, if we had lost that deal, you would never find work in this country ever again. Now, get out of my sight.

Maxwell scampered off as fast as he could, almost in tears. The door hadn't even been shut 5 minutes when another voice disturbed him.

"Mr. Malfoy," his secretary, Sherry, called as she knocked," there is a woman here to see you, but I can't understand her through her blubbering tears".

Lucius pinched the bridge of his nose and ran a hand over his tired and irritated face.

"Let her in. It's not as if anyone can frustrate me anymore!" he replied as he turned to look out the window.

Moments later, quiet footsteps accompanied by muffled sobs alerted him of the woman's presence. Sighing, he turned to the woman.

"May I help yo-" he cut himself off when he saw who the woman was. Standing before him was his wife in a tearful, blubbering mess. Shocked to see such an emotional display from his usually composed wife, he immediately stood to comfort her.

"My dear, what troubles you so?" he asked as he engulfed her in a warm hug.

"His Birthday... I went upstairs... He's so sick... Oh Lucius you must help him! "Narcissa said through her sobs.

"Shh calm down my love. That's right, you're okay. Just breathe. Now who's sick?" he calmly asked his wife.

"Draco! I went to his room to wake him up for his birthday breakfast, and he was writhing and moaning in bed. Oh, he was so pale and sweaty! And when I got closer he had stubs on his back with feathers coming out! Feathers Lucius! Oh what should we do?! We have to get a doctor!" she cried hysterically.

Lucius' face turned ashen as a feeling of dread washed over him. Only one word rang clear in his mind." Feathers. Dear merlin why did it have to be feathers. My boy! This can't be happening to him! It skipped four generations! The bloodline shouldn't be tainted anymore! ".

"Come my love we must go home. No doctor can cure him, for it is not a disease he is facing." said Lucius. He reached for her hand and soon apparated home.

Lucius POV

As they entered Malfoy manor, a gut wrenching scream met their ears.

"He must be entering the final stage of his transformation. Quickly my love, we must be there when he wakes," cried Lucius as he broke into a sprint.

The screaming continued, and Lucius tried to calm himself down before he came to the room.

" Whatever is happening on the other side of this door, you will stay calm Lucius." said he told himself as they entered " He is the same son you've loved, cherished, and raised to be your successor. Never forget that."

He would never have been even slightly prepared for what he saw when he opened the door. A creature such as his son had only been talked about through myths and absurd bedtime fairy tales. His features had changed to a more attractive and aristocratic look. High cheekbones and a very defined jawline. Full pink lips, a sharp nose and long eyelashes. Even lighter, platinum blond hair that fell in crazy disarray. His muscles were more defined from what Lucius could see in his shirtless son's form. But the main difference wasn't his face or muscles. No, it was the large, glossy wings that were spread out on either side of his screaming form. Approximately an eight foot length the wings were both fierce and beautiful. They varied in color from the bright, small, and white tuft feathers on the bottom to a dark stormy gray of the large feathers on top. The top feathers matched perfectly with Draco's eyes when he was angry. In one word he was...

"Beautiful" his wife gasped behind him. Their son was a truly magnificent sight to see. Though he continued to scream, his body shone in the light of the nearby window and his wings seemed to shimmer. Draco continued to scream and writhe until Lucius noticed two feathers sprout at the very tips of his wings. The transformation was complete. They waited with baited breath for Draco to open his eyes. Bright, wide eyes that were a piercing and iridescent ice blue.

Review please! Kay. Thanks. Bye!
