"Alex, I presume?" Lucius Malfoy asked the social worker.
"Yes... Her father murdered her mother a few hours ago and was then murdered himself. She has no other family anywhere. Would you be so kind to take her in and raise her as your own?" the social worker asked.
"Why, of course. And, if I may ask, who was the girl's father?"
Er- the Dark Lord" she said, dropping her voice to a whisper.
"Very well then. Come along, Ms.Riddle."
Five years later"Draco! Alex! Come here! NOW!" Lucius yelled.
"Yes sir!" Draco and Alex replied in unison. They scrambled down the stairs and Alex realised something was wrong.
"What is it, father?" Draco asked.
"Draco, your mother and I-" he started.
"are getting divorced." Alex finished.
"Y-yes. How did you know?"
"You two aren't wearing your wedding rings, for one. Also, I heard you arguing about it this morning. If you wanted to tell us yourselves, you should've done a better job of keeping it a secret. Now, Draco, your father has gained full custody of you, and you aren't allowed to see your mother ever again, which is why her eyes are red, she's been crying. I, however, have the choice to live with your father or your mother. I am choosing to stay with Narcissa because Lucius is the worst person I have ever had the misfortune to meet." Alex explained, smirking at Lucius. Lucius drew out his wand and pointed it towards Alex and yelled 'Crucio!' Alex doubled over and screamed. Narcissa choked. The pain was unbearable. Draco pleaded hid father to stop, tears rolling down his face. Lucius stopped, glaring at his son. He quickly got up and stormed out of the room, followed by Narcissa.
"T-thank you." Alex stuttered.
"Of course. I couldn't stand seeing you suffer. You and mom are really leaving?" He asked, pain present in his eyes.
Alex was silent for a moment, staring into Draco's eyes."...Yes.I'm sorry... If I could get you out of here as well, I would in a heartbeat"
"I know you would." The two embraced and reluctantly pulled apart when Narcissa entered and told Alex they were leaving then.
"What about my stuff?"
"The house elves packed it for you. Go wait at the front door." Alex nodded and hugged Draco one last time. She quietly exited the room.
"Draco... I am so sorry... I tried to gain custody... But as you know, your father is a very powerful man; a force to be reckoned with. I love you so much!" Narcissa wailed and burst into tears during her last sentence, tightly hugging Draco.
"I love you too mom. Tell Alex I love her."
"Of course sweetheart... I have to go. When you attend Hogwarts, write me; but not until then. If you owl me here, your father will know. Understand?"
"Yes mother."
"Well... I will talk to you in five years then. I must be off."
And at that Narcissa collected Alex and apparated to their new residence.
