A/N: This is a little bit about how Lucius (I did get that spelling right out of the book) Malfoy feels about being a Death Eater. It gets pretty dark, so don't read if you don't like that kind of stuff.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Narce, I hate being a Death Eater" Lucius told his wife Narcissa one night. The night in fact that Voldemort had his rebirth.

 "SHUT UP! I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT IT, YOU MUDBLOOD!" Narcissa screeched at him. It was true… Malfoy actually wasn't his last name. It was Evans. Whenever he had married Narcissa, she had forced him to take her last name. That's how he came to be Lucius Malfoy. Now you're probably wondering "Ok, why did she marry him if she was prejudiced against Muggle borns?" Well, Lucius was rich. Narcissa was rich too, but Lucius had about three times the amount of money she had. So, in other words, she married him for his money. Sure, back in their 7th year, Narcissa, had been mean, but never to him… Now she was a Husband Beater. She had tried to kill him on three separate occasions, and performed the Cruciatus Curse on him daily.

 "CRUCIO!" She screeched again.

 "AAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!" He yelled. He writhed in pain, his eyes were rolling, he was being stabbed with white hot knives- and then it was over. Narcissa never did it for long, but just long enough to make him feel like he wanted to commit suicide.

 He used to be friendly to everybody. Then Narcissa came. He had hardened over the 16 years of being married to her. He was just sick and tired of it! He had grown to hate Narcissa. She was ruining their son, Draco. He had to end it. He had to send Draco somewhere to stay. His parents were dead, and all his friends were devoted Death Eaters. Who could he send him to? Someone that would take proper care of him? A thought popped into his mind. He wrote the following:

 Dear Dumbledore,

   I need you to take accurate care of my son, Draco. Narcissa is making him as evil as she is. I want you to take him, because after tonight, he will have nowhere to go. I also have a list of Death Eaters that need to be turned in.

 Peter Pettigrew

Avery

Narcissa Malfoy

Bartemius Crouch Jr. (I believe you already have him though)

Lestranges

Macnair

Crabbe

Goyle

Nott

That is not all of them, but there are some. Please put them to use. Thank you

                                                                    Lucius Malfoy

Lucius had finished his letter to Dumbledore, sent it, and now had to do probably one of the hardest and easiest tasks he had ever done in his life.

 "Narcissa? I need to speak to you!" Called Lucius from the front hall.

 "Yes?" She had apparated there. Lucius lifted his wand-

 "Avada Kedavra" He said simply. But the affect of the spell was not simple. Narcissa Malfoy was now laying  dead on the floor. Then Lucius took a spare piece of parchment, a quill, and a thumb tack.

Dear Draco,

 Son, never be mistaken at the thought of how much I care for you and love you. I love you with all my heart, and I would love to take care of you myself, but I must… put myself out of my misery. You take all the family things, including the Manor. You may change its name, or keep it. Maybe I will return as a ghost, maybe I won't, just never forget how much I love you.

                                                                          Love from Daddy,

                                                                                    Lucius Evans

 

Then Lucius tacked the note to the front door, directed his wand at himself, and committed suicide.

 "At last, I am happy"
