For She Is Full Of Grace
When the year was 1987, there was a baby borne into the world, well... two, to be precise. They were borne in the month of Mary (May, to be precise), on a cold and rainy day in the warm, lofty Manor of poise and decadence, as it had been since its creation (1852, before the Goblin Raid in the Wizarding Russia). It had been such an estate of elegance and wealth, for of course, nothing less could be expected of the Malfoy's.
Now, these two children, though only first borne, were then after named Draco Apollo Malfoy and Claudia Beck Malfoy.
"My two precious twins, how refined and beautiful you both will grow to be. No one will be able to resist your cloudy-blue eyes and your silky white hair that comes from your father, your father..." her eyes seemed to become distant, "such a beautiful man, and handsome creature, though his heart is so full of rot. Oh, how I hope that he will grow to love you as much as I already do. But on the bright side my dears, you will be the sparkle in his eyes.
You might even bring him from this hatred and maliciousness that's betaken him in his youth. Oh my precious ones, I can only hope," she smiled at her baby twins, but at the thought of what Lucius's actions might be her smile slowly faded.
"You will grow to be so-" but she could not finish for the air was suddenly filled with a cold sort of wind that chocked the air from her lungs for an abrupt moment, and brought tears to the brim of her eyes. Though tears had come to her eyes, they did not release to fall down her cheeks. She instantly straightened in her bed and smoothed out the sheets as though she was getting ready for inspection.
Seconds later, the door was thrown open and a great draft of cold air was thrown towards her. Her heart skipped a beat for fear of what Lucius might say. Would he be happy or mad? She could never tell with him, but of the 5- ½ years she had been married to him, she hadn't really even known him.
"Narcissa... where is the child?"
She smiled and straightened in the bed even more than she had before, but this time with a proud kind of feeling. Pride had taken over her, that has all that she could feel at the moment.
"Don't you mean children," she asked him boldly. This was a good way to break the news to him of the additional child he had not been expecting.
Suddenly, his bored and lifeless mouth seemed to come alive; it slowly curved into a curious and confused shape, "children?" His right eyebrow raised slowly in a confused manner.
"Yes- children... twins. A boy and a girl," she was harshly interrupted.
"A girl?" Lucius's voice was lined with venom.
"Yes Lucius, a girl. What is the matter?" Narcissa new exactly what the matter was, thought she had wanted Lucius to spout out the ridiculous babble about daughters borne into the Malfoy family to be a sign of weakness.
Catching on to what Narcissa was playing at Lucius retorted to sighing out, "nothing... what are their names?"
"Claudia, after my mother, and Draco after your Great Uncle the White Dragon, I thought it was fitting." There was a silence, and uncomfortable one.
"Lucius?"
"What? Oh, yes- clever names. I have to be going now Narcissa, I've important business to attend to," he turned to leave, as did his cold aura that had seemed to surround him all the time.
"Is it more important that your children that have just come into the world?" she muttered under her breath, even though he could not hear her.
After he had left, it became somewhat warmer and she became more comfortable. She looked out the nearby window and for the first time in her life and watched the sun go down into the blood-red abyss that outlined the mountains; thus leaving the room darker than before.
Before she could drift into sleep she checked the twins sleeping
soundly in their crib to make sure that they had been covered enough
so that they would not wake in the night to cry from cold feet. She
smiled and drifted into sleep wondering how it had suddenly stopped
raining.
The room suddenly became bleak and cold, and somehow darker than it had already been. The door creaked open slowly, so slow in fact, that the moon had already come from behind a ravenous, black cloud that forbid it, for the time being, to shine in the night. When the door had been open enough so that a single body could fit through, Lucius's face came into view. Narcissa, although asleep, shivered through the thin sheets that covered her. Lucius's head turned towards the crib that held his two children, a smirk appeared upon his face.
The next morning a shrill scream broke through the manor, Claudia was gone.
"My baby, my baby, where is my baby?" Narcissa screamed and cried out. Lucius stepped into the room, "What is the matter woman?"
"My baby, oh my precious baby, she is gone. Claudia is gone!" She howled and screamed at his face. The baby that had remained could be heard crying in the background.
"Calm down Narcissa, we will find her. We'll send out for an investigator, the best available or course," he said calmly.
"I want my baby!" she screamed.
"Calm down dear."
"I want my baby," said a bit louder. Her eyes turned a light shade of brown, as did her hair. This being questionable to you, it will all be answered soon, rest assured.
"Narcissa, I won't say it again... calm down," he said once again.
She did not heed, "I WANT MY BABY!" She screamed and hit at him, vaguely thinking he had something to do with the disappearance of Claudia.
Without so much as a warning, he slapped her across the face with enough force that it flung her into the wall. A lamp on the stool beside her fell to ground from the impact it had on the ground when she hit it, and shattered into pieces.
She opened her honey-brown eyes and pulled the dark brown hair from her perspiring face, her cheek was a bright color of red. You could still hear the baby crying in his crib, Lucius crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Calm down Draco, my child... my only child," Narcissa said calmly, her blue eyes back to normal, as was her silky mane of white hair, Lucius smiled in approval.
So you could say that there had only been one child borne into the warm and
lofty manor of the Malfoy's poised and decadent estate of wealth and
