Fifth drabble for the Despised Ships challenge on xoxLewrahxox's forum: Severus/Narcissa.
Despised Ships
Write a drabble featuring a character/ship that you despise. This is NOT an opportunity for character/ship bashing. Instead it should be a serious attempt to portray the hated character(s) in a positive light.
She is alone.
Her husband, who has always shielded her from trouble, is rotting away in Azkaban. Her son is in danger, and no longer within her reach; she can't see him, can't protect him.
In her nightmares, she sees him slowly dying, and she can't move.
She can't rely on her sister either. She is walled-up in her convictions, thinking of nothing but her Lord. She says that it is Draco's chance.
She can't be trusted anymore.
Only one person can help them, only one bothers to comfort her, when she visits him again, late in the night. Severus.
