Chapter 1 : The Malfoys
When Voldemort was defeated, every single Death Eater was captured and punished accordingly. Life in the wizarding world became peaceful. It has been 7 years since the war, the war that ended the reign of Voldemort and his Death Eaters. For those who survived, they have been sent to Azkaban to suffer until their dying die except for one family, the Malfoys. They were given a different punishment. Lucius Malfoy was banished from the wizarding world and was to be treated as a muggle. As for his wife, Narcissa and his son, Draco, for being forced to be a Death Eater like him, received the punishment of not being able to use magic around Lucius and within the Manor.
Being banished from the wizarding world entails having his wand confiscated by the ministry, their house elves being set free and for them to live along with the muggles, they were given enough money to start a gardening business, in which Narcissa and Draco spent most of their time, to help them get by with their daily needs and expenses. Lucius on the other hand became more resentful. He didn't stop on planning his vengeance. It also made it very difficult for him to accept the decisions his son, Draco, has been making for his life. He would only interact with his wife and son only to make them feel miserable. He never fails to trample them whenever he sees them having a bit of fun and laughter. He always makes sure that they will be miserable as he is at all times.
The Malfoy Manor lost its grandeur. Damaged and missing shingles, dilapidated ceiling on some parts of the house, clogged gutters causing the roof to leak during rainy days and chipping paint on the walls are some of its indication. Only the garden is being well kept by Draco and his mother. This is his comfort zone and the usual spot where you will find him.
Being banished from the wizarding world did not hinder Pansy and Blaise to still visit Draco. Every weekend they will make it a point to stop by and have tea with him. On usual occasions they would try to persuade Draco to take a time off and step out of the manor to enjoy. On all of those attempts, he would say that he'd rather stay at home and tend to his garden.
Ever since he learned of Draco's preference, Lucius made it an extra effort to be extremely mean to Draco. "You will never inherit this house and all of my property unless you give me an acceptable heir and in-law. Otherwise, I will disown you!" Lucius shouted out at Draco one afternoon after the latter served him his tea. Lucius has grown weaker and weaker as the days pass. His hatred fuelled his ageing. "I already produced you an heir but you just won't accept him and got rid of him as well" Draco murmured as he strode off towards the door and went his way. "I heard that you freaking slut! That little skunk you produced over an unacceptable relationship and preference of yours! Clearly you are a disgrace! Now get your freaking ass off my room! You disgust me!"
2 weeks after their row, Lucius had a massive heart attack and that was the end of him. His last will was to be announced 2 weeks after.
