So I'm trying to find the motivation to continue this story... so far I only have this prologue and half of chapter 1 done... sorry about that, but I just figured I'd post what I have
Disclaimer: I own nothing, I just like to play :)
Narcissa Malfoy darted on light, fast feet through the halls of the once great Malfoy Manor. In her arms she carried a large bundle, tightly wrapped in cloth and tightly guarded against stray hexes. The walls and ceilings and floors were covered with scorch marks and gaping holes from hexes and Unforgivibles that missed their marks. All around her, Aurors and Death Eaters battled, the latter far too surprised by the attack to form a paper resistance.
Soon she reached the entrance hall and there met two figures, both heavily cloaked and hooded in Auror robes. She stopped and spoke to them.
"Has the paperwork been approved?"
"It is done." With these three words, Narcissa ran forward, desperately pressing her precious bundle into the arms of the shorter Auror.
"Oh thank you, thank you. Please take him far away. Save him from this life." One corner of the cloth fell away to reveal a young boy, only five years old, with white-blonde hair and silver eyes. He was confused and bewildered by what was happening, afraid of what he did not understand. Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind Narcissa. She spun around to see Lucius there, clutching a ragged wound on his arm.
"What are you doing here, Narcissa? And why is that filthy animal holding my son?" The Aurors pulled their hoods down to reveal none other than Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.
"Watch who you are calling an animal Lucius. You're talking to Draco's new guardians."
"We have signed a legally binding blood contract. To the world, Draco is now the son of Sirius Black and Remus Lupin." Narcissa took advantage of Lucius' momentary speechlessness to press an envelope into Sirius' hands.
"Make sure Draco gets this when he is ready."
"How could you Narcissa? Draco was a most promising child and he could have been a great Death Eater. Now he will be a nobody, just another wizard, hardly fit to be a Malfoy." Lucius was purple-faced and panting at the end of his ran.
"I did what I had to do to save my son. He deserves far better than the life you had to offer him."
"He could have had power, wealth, fame, and status. What could be better?"
"Life! Laughter! Love! This family sucks everything out of its members, leaving empty shells that never know true happiness. I want more than that for my son. Now he will be safe and you will never be able to turn him now." Lucius suddenly went completely devoid of expression.
"Very well then. You have now turned my son into my enemy and my enemies do not last long. Avada Kedavra!" This spell was directed towards Remus and Draco. Sirius was too far away to do anything, having gone to keep a couple stray Death Eaters out. He watched, horrified, as the green light traveled towards his mate and his new son. But suddenly there was another body there, absorbing the green light.
"Mommy!"
"Stupefy!" The young boy in Remus' arms squirmed and cried as he tried to get down and run to his mother's limp body. Lucius fell in a burst of red light as more Aurors rushed into the room, having subdued the remaining Death Eaters. Remus and Sirius turned and left, leaving cleanup to the others. Draco was still crying but had stopped struggling. A healer waited outside with a draught to put the young child to sleep. Then Remus and Sirius apparated away, leaving behind the ruins of a once-great mansion filled with the bodies of its former occupants.
