Crack! A sharp blow hit Draco squarely in the jaw.

"Father...it isn't what you think..."

Crack! This time a ring surely cut his cheekbone as he could feel the blood begin to trickle down his face.

"How dare you go behind my back and date that mudblood whore" Lucius raged. "You think she is your friend? Your girlfriend? She is just using you for information and you're too weak to see it!"

Crack! More blood was dripping. "Father...we...we...love each other," as soon as the words left his lips he realized his error.

Lucius didn't yell. No backhand this time. Instead he simple nodded to the wall. Draco knew what to do. There was no use to fight. As painful as it would be at least it would probably not result in any broken bones. Draco turned and faced the wall. He pulled off his muggle t-shirt and tossed it to the floor before raising both hands up and pressing them into the cold stone. He closed his eyes. Lucius removed his belt and folded it.

The first blow made Draco flinch. The twenty or so to follow didn't get as much as a whimper. Draco didn't move while he heard his father refasten his belt and leave the room. Once Lucius was gone, Draco leaned his head against the stone wall and then hit it with the palms of both hands. "Fuck!" he exclaimed. He sat down on a chair and buried his face in his hands. He felt so weak, so helpless. As much as he hated his father, he wished he could be as strong as him.

Moments later the study door swung open. "Oh, you're still here, good" Lucius said non nonchalantly as he entered the room. "I was just making some preparations."

"Preparations?" Draco said alarmed. Perhaps the belt was just the beginning of tonight's beating. "Yes," Lucius confirmed, "Preparations for you to make amends for the possible damage you have made to our cause. You do wish to make amends do you not? Because if you didn't I can't say what my superiors may do to perhaps...your little girlfriend...your mother...not to mention you. It's time you step up and be a man. Consider this your initiation."

Draco nodded. He would do anything to save Hermione and his mother from his fathers twisted bosses and friends.

"Very well then, follow me," Lucius opened the door and headed for the stairs. Draco followed close behind. "You know if you don't comply with your orders, I will do it for you," Lucius snickered as he opened the door to Draco's bedroom.
