8 years later the two were in their 5th year at Hogwarts. They were both entered at the same time. The birthdays weren't that far apart and seeing as they were born in the same year helped. They were both in Slytherin, but Sophia almost ended up in Ravenclaw. 'Better than Hufflepuff or Gryffindor' Draco would always say. Draco was on the quidditch team and Sophia wanted to be, but she kept her head in her books so that she could surpass Hermione Granger. Draco and Sophia were very close; he could answer her sentences and visa versa. He did protect her like he always said he would but one day he wasn't there. They were home for winter break but Draco was at the Crabbe's for the day.
"Sophia!" Yelled Lucius
"Yes daddy!" Sophia said innocently
"Can you come in here?" he asked
"Sure"
She quickly ran in there. She had grown up a lot since she was 6 years old. Her hair was long and glowing, she had green eyes, which was strange for the Malfoy family, and she also stayed out in the sun a lot to obtain a beautiful tan. She was skinny with a decent size bust and was curvy; she had an athletic build. She was drop dead gorgeous.
"What's up Da--" she started to say
She was backhanded quickly across the face. She fell to the ground and whimpered. He promised.
"I was looking at your grades and you are not passing that mudblood Hermione Granger!" he said angrily
"I am…" she started to say again
He slapped her again. He was not going to accept any excuses.
"I hate you!" she screamed
"Excuse me?!" Lucius said taken aback
"You promised! You sick son of a bitch! You promised me! You told me that you would never hit me again!" She yelled at him even though she knew he would probably hit her again
"Times change, so deal with it!" He said with an attitude
She went to stand up again and he backhanded again sending her flying this time. She couldn't handle the pain and she laid on the ground crying.
"You promised me daddy. You did…you promised…" she said quietly
He went to pick her up but she screamed.
"Don't touch me! Don't come near me!" she ylled again
"Be quiet little girl!" he said annoyed now
He threw his arm back and she flinched
"Please don't hit me again! Please! Oh please don-" again she was cought off not getting to finish her sentence
He did though. She laid there in pain and disappointment. She whimpered and cried knowing that her father was monster.
"Get up" he said with power
She heard the tone and the finality in his voice and just as she was able to stand without falling, he did it one last time.
"Next time you'll think about opening your mouth. Next time you'll think about letting a mudblood beat you in your grades." He told her before walking away
He left her there. She was hysterical. She slowly crawled to the fireplace and grabbed the floo powder. She yelled out the 'Crabbe Mansion' and was soon lying in the Crabbe's den. Draco and Crabbe were stunned to see the floo go off but when Draco saw who it was and what she looked like he saw red.
"Sophia!! What happened?" Draco said very concerned
"He promised Draco. He promised he would never hit me again! I don't know what to…oh Draco it hurts, really badly." She said crying and shaking
He knew exactly who she was talking about. Crabbe lifted Sophia up and sent the house elf to get a bowl of water and a towel. Draco tried wiping the blood from her cheek but there was too much. The house elf returned quickly and the two boys began to clean her up. She had a large gash on her cheek and her cheek was already starting to bruise.
"How many times did he hit you?" Draco asked
"Five times; he is mad because granger beat me in grades. I'm trying Draco you see me trying. All I do is study! I'm second to her. He doesn't like that." She said shakily
They heard the doorbell ring and heard Lucius talking Crabbe's father.
"He's going to kill me! He-" Sophia said panicking
Sophia, Draco and Crabbe looked up when the two fathers walked in the room. Lucius was seeing red and Draco was being held back by Crabbe unknowingly to Lucius, Crabbe Sr. was confused and Sophia was crying.
"What happened in here? Crabbe?" Crabbe's father asked
"I don't know Father, Sophia came through the Floo like this." Crabbe responded thinking fast
"Where did you come from, Child?" Crabbe's father asked
"I do not know sir. I don't remember" She said not wanting to tell him that it was Lucius that did it
Lucius was rigid. He thought that she wasn't fully conscious when he left. This wasn't good.
"Come Draco. Get your sister and we will go to St. Mungo's immediately." Lucius said with faux concern
"Of course Father no problem" Draco said trying not to lash out on him
Draco carefully lifted Sophia up and carried her out of the house. Crabbe and Lucius said goodbye and he was soon right next to Draco.
"How did you get here you little witch!?" Lucius said angrily
"Go away!" she yelled back
"Get away from her father!" Draco said threateningly
"Who do you think you are!?" Lucius said to Draco taken back by what he said
Draco put Sophia in the carriage and turned glaring daggers at Lucius…
"Don't you think for a moment that I don't know that it was you? She told me and Crabbe everything. You better hope that I can get the gash that you left on her cheek to heal because if I can't, I will take her to St. Mungo's and I will tell them that you did it." Draco said with a superior tone and with finality
Lucius was speechless. Draco got into the carriage and held Sophia. Lucius got in and they left for the manor. It was going to be a long night. When they arrived home Draco immediately called for his house elf.
"Blinky!!!" Draco yelled when he walked into the house
"Yes master Draco?" blinky said arrving quickly
"I need a bowl of water, actually two bowls of water and a few fresh towels. I need them quickly do not hesitant." He said quickly
"Of course Master Draco right away, right away!"
Blinky left quickly and Draco carried Sophia up to his room. He planned on getting this fix himself and it was going to take a while. He owled Snape and asked for the any potions that would help. His large eagle returned with a basket full of supplies. Blinky returned and waited in the corner for any directions from his master.
"Draco?" Lucius said cautiously
"Get out of my room Father" Draco said demandingly
"How is she doing?" her father asked
"None of your business; now leave or you will have me to face." Draco said with a sneer that could copy his fathers
Lucius left and waited downstairs in his office. He heard the pop and knew that it was Voldemort.
"Hello Lucius." Voldemort said silkily
"My lord, how can I be of service to you today?" Lucius said with a bow
"I need you to go on a raid for me this evening." The dark lord said with demand
"Alright. Who am I taking with me?" Lucius said with compliance
"Crabbe, Goyle, MacNair, and Nott." The dark lord told him
"Alright. Done. Where are we going?" Lucius said while agree
"Right outside Birmingham, there is small village there and I want it destroyed."
Lucius nodded and he left. Things were not going to be good for him for the next few days…
