Grimmauld Place, a week before Christmas,

Sirius was being very merry and happy he would see his god-family. He was certainly in the Christmas spirit. He had even transfigured some stuff into Christmas decorations; he found amusement in the air. He would have Harry, Hermione and Darius back with him again. The only way that it could get better is that Darius got Narcissa back. Sirius knew he could annul the marriage to Lucius but Lucius could block it in the Wizengamot. He needed the desire from Narcissa. Sirius almost prayed for some hope that she would remember. At that moment, an owl flew in and dropped a letter. Sirius almost jumped for joy when he read it was from Narcissa.

Dear Sirius,

I know I'm probably not the first person you would want correspondence from; however I must ask for your help. I need to be with my real intended again and get out of this awful marriage I was forced into. I know that you're asking yourself why you should help me; I have no reason other than I'm your relative. I know it is a cheap excuse but I find that it's all I can give.

I would hope you would do this for me so I can go back to Darius. I was taken from him by Mother who thought that I needed to be a purebloods wife. Darius is the only man I can love wholeheartedly. Darius loves me entirely, I remember so many whores throwing themselves at him and he rejected them all for me. I felt so loved with him; I know you were not given this opportunity but please let me have my man back.

Signed

Cissa

Sirius was almost ready to go get her himself; however he was still was a wanted fugitive. He decided that he should send a reply.

Dear Cissa,

Will get your annulment. Expect a visit from lover boy soon.

Signed

Sirius

Sirius figured that the reply was simple enough. He also sent the correct paperwork to Gringotts. He wasn't sure if Darius knew about Cissa yet but somehow he felt that he did. Sirius also had to worry about Lucius's reaction. Sirius didn't like him and didn't really care about him but if he went on a mad killing spree; Sirius could be blamed a bit. Sirius came up with a solution he found gratifying.

Dear Lover boy,

You need to do something about Lucius. He will get very angry that were taking away his precious trophy wife. Cissa has sent me the request for annulment and I'm sure she won't want to go to her sister Bella. I suggest that you with all certainty make sure that you get there for her. I would guess that he is going to be pretty mad and when he finds out it's you he may Shit himself in rage. Although knowing you; you will still laugh your ass off at him.

Signed

Sirius

Sirius was sure that Darius would get that message. Sirius had to believe that Darius was planning on doing that anyway. Sirius went back to the main room and looked at his mother disapprovingly.

"You see Mum? Cissa loved Darius far more than even I speculated. She remembers him again and more than likely would happily prove Darius's threat to you" Sirius said cruelness easing out of his voice.

"I did not raise my daughter to be a whore." Walburga said evenly. Sirius had to look at her interestingly.

"You sold her to Lucius like a whore." Sirius reminded her.

"I did not! He won her heart after Darius left her!" Walburga responded. Sirius was surprised.

"Darius would never leave Cissa. He had so many women throw themselves at him he could have taken over the world at the time; however he rebuked them all for Cissa. Lucius didn't tell you the truth only lies. Darius didn't leave her; Lucius hired a coven of Vampires to kill him. Darius obviously survived only to find the woman he loved with Lucius just after finding about his little sisters death." Sirius revealed. Walburga looked stunned for a second before saying.

"She would leave a brilliant Pureblood like him for that reject even vampires wouldn't drink from?" Sirius could only be more hateful towards his mother. He walked out of the room feeling angry and depressed. 'Some more decorations couldn't hurt.' He thought perking up a little. The tree was something he would have everyone work on to show how different each one was. Sirius would have his part tattered with sparkled things. Darius would leave his pretty much the same except a few decorations he had made himself with his family on it. Sirius would turn out to be more tired than he expected.

Hogwarts,

Darius was once again showing Harry and his group a few spells that would help them out greatly. Darius was sure Harry and Hermione would need them against the Death Eaters. The last few curses were more of the lighter side. Darius would teach them most things but a few he had in his arsenal could only be used by him. They were certainly not for children and probably should be forgotten. Harry wanted some help with the slicer and Darius complied. He watched Harry perform the spell and it was effective to an effect of a mild irritant. Darius was sure it was that Harry didn't have the desire to really hurt anyone.

"You don't have the desire for the spell to hurt. It's your greatest strength really; you don't really want to hurt anyone. Compassion is a powerful tool however with the enemies you have it's a weakness." Darius said. Harry looked disappointed and tried to hide it. "You shouldn't be disappointed by that. Your ability to hurt Tommy comes from love. Allies are made from compassion and the opposite is true; being a jackass to everyone will create enemies." Darius said smiling. Harry's smile returned and he settled with the lighter spells he had. Darius was alright with it. Harry was still the face of the light. Darius to the ministry was a dark evil creature bent on world destruction. Darius had to chuckle at this definition. He had recently learned that Arthur Weasley was going to be Minister. 'Well, Dumbles that is an interesting move. Cornelius no longer a good dog? I would normally take this as a good thing but due to Arthur's connections to the old man I can't see it as such.' Darius was thinking about something he had read a really long time ago. 'Of all the times I need my Cissa…' Darius thought bitterly. Soon the class ended and a single person was still in the room. The tiny blond haired girl that told Harry of his prank beforehand. The amazing Luna Lovegood. Darius had given her the title amazing because she in fact was amazing. A seer is very hard to come by and they usually have strange habits or behaviors. Darius was in little doubt that the little Luna was one.

"Are you waiting for something Luna?" Darius asked nicely. Luna stared at him and nodded. Darius waited.

"I have a feeling that the future will be very bright for you." Luna said in the low grasping speech seerers usually get. Darius figured that something good was about to happen. An owl dropped a letter in his lap.

"What you were waiting for I take it?" Darius asked calmly. Luna smiled and shook her head. She turned to the door and stepped out of it. Darius laughed a little about it and had a huge smile coming out of the office later that night. Sirius's letter gave him the best news he had in a long time. 'Cissa has come back to me and we will have our vengeance.' Darius thought happily. Darius had to go see her and do his job. Lucius would die this glorious night. The moon was full and Werewolves would be out ravaging the land. Darius contemplated throwing Lucius to them but decided it would give them indigestion if not poison them. Lucius's corpse would poison the earth it would lay on. This led him to the thought of hanging him. 'It would be a good statement to the Death Eaters but it isn't time for that statement. Harry isn't ready yet.' Darius thought sadly. 'What about a muggle torture?' Darius thought. He continued to think for quite a while and found a good idea although he would need to discuss it with Cissa. Darius would see his beloved again and ask what to do.

Malfoy Manor,

Narcissa couldn't leave the accursed room but she could let other people in. Currently, she was waiting on such an individual who could help her in her revenge she had in mind. Narcissa was probably the most brilliant witch alive. She was in Slytherin because she felt it was tradition for the House Black. 'Sirius wasn't in Syltherin, but he was ostracized by the family.' Narcissa thought longingly. 'If I also had been ostracized would I still be with Darius?' She wondered thoughtfully. 'The sorting hat wanted to put me in Ravenclaw but I asked it to allow me to keep tradition. The poor beaten hat tried to convince me I would do so much better in Ravenclaw. I was foolish and young thought my mother would be proud of me. She was more proud of my sister. Bella always got mother's support and Andi always got dads. I was the middle child and didn't get much support from either but dad made me happy on his deathbed granting me a blessing with Darius.' A knock on the door interrupted her line of thoughts. Narcissa sped toward it and found no one there. 'Curious' she thought. Behind her a small throat clearing was heard behind her.

"Ah. Rita, I've been expecting you." Narcissa said almost excitedly. Rita gave her best greetings and waited.

"Why have you asked me here then?" Rita asked.

"I'm giving you a story of course." Narcissa responded an evil glint in her eye. Rita also had one but in a greedy sense.

"Well then any stipulations before I write?" Rita asked remembering Hermione's threat from last year.

"Not many really, just make Lucius as bad as possible." Narcissa answered. Rita was shocked at the woman, destroying her husband's life?

"Aren't you afraid he will retort?" Rita asked unsure.

"Who will people believe? Me, an upstanding pureblood or Lucius the pedophilic Death Eater?" Narcissa replied almost shining. Rita was once again shocked; she was aiming for absolute destruction of Lucius.

"Alright let's get going. How did your relationship with Lucius start?" Rita asked

"Lucius had me doused with love potion while he hired a large coven of vampires to kill the one I loved at the time. Naturally, my love survived and most likely will come to take me back." Narcissa answered. Rita was surprised that she [Narcissa] had ever dated anyone but Lucius. The fact a man survived an attack from a coven of vampires was incredible. The fact he was coming back to get her, while romantic, was suicide in Rita's mind.

"How long did he douse you with Love potion?" Rita continued.

"Lucius kept me on the potion until I gave him a son. Immediately after, I was locked in this damn room until the time I would die." Narcissa replied.

"You mentioned he was a pedophilic Death Eater, care to elaborate on that?" Rita asked getting to the real juicy things.

"Lucius has always been a Death Eater. He carries out despicable things in you-know-who's name. Often downstairs he will hold parties that involve the Raping of children from muggle families. Some he uses the imperius curse others he does not. I have to sit in here and listen to the crying of children all night until he allows Greyback to rip them to pieces." Narcissa laid it on a bit thick but it held some truths such as the child rape and Greyback ripping them up. Rita felt as if she would vomit being told that. Narcissa seemed to be mixing between happiness and disgust for what she remembered. Happiness because this would destroy Lucius faster than a point blank reducto. Disgust because she remembered the screams and how they reminded her of Draco when he was a baby. She may despise Lucius to ne end but Draco was her baby. She would try to turn him around. Darius would listen to her about this, she knew it. Rita finally retrieved enough composure to continue.

"What about the philanthropic efforts?" Rita asked.

"They are lies. He has never given away money. It's from the witches and wizards, he has killed in you-know-who's name. He has the victim draw up a sizeable sum and gives it to Lucius to go and be a public figure for good and such. It also is used to bribe members of the Wizengamot to vote in a way he desires." Narcissa answered happily because a lot of people were going to be investigated. A secret friend of hers through school would see to that. 'Amelia you have done so well with your job. I hope you will stop at nothing to get at these corrupt bastards.' Narcissa praised silently.

"Are you saying the Wizengamot is corrupt?" Rita asked starting to worry about her future with a job.

"No the Wizengamot as a whole is not corrupt just a few fingers. A good Lucius removing and the problem are all solved." Narcissa answered laughing to herself. 'I am sure the Wizengamot will throw him away because they will not look bad for one man; or a sixth of a man you might say' She thought amused by Lucius's inability to please anything with his sexual tool.

"Why have you not left?" Rita asked more for herself than the story.

"Lucius has charmed the door and windows so that only my true love can get me out." Narcissa said with a tone of happiness. "Unfortunately for Lucius he believes the only man that could be that has been slain by vampires." Narcissa added with a laugh. Rita once again felt scared for her future. Rita reminded herself to NEVER get on the bad side of this woman.

"Lucius had you doused with love potion, how did that come about?" Rita asked.

"My mother decided that my beloved wasn't pureblooded and actually gave the money to hire the vampires to Lucius and forced me to drink it. Mother oblivated my memory of my love but as always it was very shoddy and I remembered his face and features but not his name. This granted mother enough time to force the potion down my throat. My thoughts were consumed by Lucius but in the back of my mind my beloved was always there. He was waiting or the right time. He has returned and will free me soon. You should probably leave now Rita, Lucius has returned. Publish your story quickly; I would like Lucius to read it before he dies." Narcissa commanded quickly and prepared for the vile creature to come.

Darius was rushing to the Manor following Lucius easily. The vampire in him wanted to destroy Lucius but his beloved would have something else planned he was sure. Darius decided to rush and wait for Lucius to go into Cissa's room. Darius would then make his great entrance and keep Lucius immobile. Darius arrived a bit quicker than Lucius and saw the interview Cissa gave to the often incredibly exaggerative Rita Skeeter. 'Well done my beloved your intelligence never ceases to amaze me.' Darius thought and waited patiently.

Lucius was angry but because he was above fault he blamed Narcissa for his failure. She was now an annoyance to him. Pureblood politics demanded the pair to be together forever. Also to be divorced was an ultimate shame. Lucius was thankful that she had to live in the room he designed for her. She could not leave because Darius was dead. Lucius sneered at his victory. It really wasn't about Narcissa it was about taking her away from him. He always beat him at everything. Darius was the better flyer, politician, and overall student. He was favored by everyone and the whore threw themselves at him hoping to get a piece. Darius the Bastard would always spout on about how he only loved Narcissa and rejected them nicely. Lucius was a pureblood all of those things should have happened to him by divine right; for them to go to this mudblood Darius was high treason against the divine rulers of the magical world. Purebloods were the greatest and Darius was obviously the opposite. Lucius had christened him to be the muggle equivalent of the devil. He had to be destroyed or the impure would take over the magical world. Lucius was happy to find the man Lucius would christen to be God of the magical world. The Dark lord wasn't evil just used dark methods to defeat the evil that Darius led. Lucius took the opportunity and had a coven of vampires kill the devil Darius but he then learned that Darius was merely a high level demon and Dumbledore was the Devil. Lucius was sure that Narcissa after taken away from the demon would happily go back to a pureblood lifestyle. Lucius had not counted on God to be defeated by a baby. Lucius had decided that the baby was still pure and was not the great enemy yet; however he was proved that indeed Harry Potter was the next Devil and needed to be dealt with. So in the second year of his schooling Lucius gave a friend of the devils the sacred book God had trusted him with. He felt such regret that the book had been destroyed and the Potter boy had destroyed it. At fourth year his Lord returned and was angry at them for failure to seek him out. Lucius wanted to die but felt that would not be proper for his Lord. Draco had grown up well and would soon be his Lords next servant; Lucius had been preparing him since birth. Lucius felt his lord would accept the sacrifice he was making and return favor to him. Lucius climbed the steps to belittle his prize Narcissa.

Narcissa was waiting for the bastard carefully. The bigoted moron never took her wand and she was never compelled to use it before. She smiled at the thought of blasting his head off. 'Stunning him would be best then bind him the muggle way to ensure he wouldn't escape. Darius would be very welcome right now. He he…catching us making love would distract him for a moment or two.' Narcissa thought amused. She felt his hand on the door. Watching the knob turn gave her the most thrills she had in a long time. Lucius entered the room and felt the wand upon his throat. Narcissa shivered with excitement. 'I have him now all I have to do is finish it.' She thought. The killing curse came to her mind but decided against it. Lucius wasn't expecting her to try to fight back against him. He managed to jerk her in front of him throwing her to the ground. Lucius was ready and began his casting of the killing curse. Narcissa waited for help to come and her wand was broken. 'Dammit' she thought. The green light was heading toward her.

Darius moved quickly. Lucius would not take her from him again! Darius jumped through the window and jumped into the curse. Narcissa's eyes widened in terror. Darius appeared to be dead. Narcissa ran toward the fallen Darius. She leaned over his face and cried on top of him. Darius opened his eyes and looked irritated.

"I know what you did Cissa." Narcissa kissed him before blushing. "It is why you are the smart one." He stated openly. Narcissa kissed him again.

"You are my fighter. You're not allowed to die on me." She said happily.

"Now as for you Lucius. I have my punishment planned and Cissa has already decided hers. I feel that hers will hurt you more. I have to say mine is much more about your death." Darius said looking at Lucius, who was frantically trying to figure out how this was happening. "corpus corporis exitium" Darius said calmly. "The body destruction curse. I now control your body Lucius." Darius said. Narcissa watched as Lucius seemed to tense all over. "If I wanted to I could make your body explode. Until tomorrow, you will sit and be good." Darius commanded. Narcissa was amazed by this Lucius body literally sat down against the will of his mind.

"How is this happening?" Lucius demanded.

"I hope Rita makes the evening press so I can begin sooner. This curse was developed in Rome for rebelling gladiators. It forced them to compete and most likely die." Darius said sounding bored. "It's not as fun without some clapping." Darius said and Lucius's body started clapping no matter how Lucius's mind resisted. Darius looked amused. An owl with the evening Prophet showed up with a note that the public at large will read the story in the morning. "Well done Rita." Darius noted happily. Narcissa showed the paper to Lucius's face. Lucius could only read the headline before his head twisted painfully. "Narcissa, I would ask that you leave but I suspect you wouldn't." Darius said.

"You are correct." Narcissa said soothingly. Darius nodded. Darius brought Narcissa close to him and kissed her himself.

"Sweet as ever. I missed you my love." Darius stated. The thought of making love to her in front of Lucius appeared again. Narcissa had similar thoughts but decided against them.

"Indeed my love; however we can't allow Lucius to view such a wonderful thing; it would obliterate him." Narcissa responded enjoying the cool kisses on her neck.

"Very well Cissa. I will bow to your intelligence." Darius said. "It is time for my vengeance." Darius said easily. He then turned small things into nails. Narcissa could see where this was going and felt gratified and repulsed. Gratified because this is what he deserved for raping children. Repulsed because this was going to be very bloody and gory.

Authors note. Torture/Death scene: this part may disturb any squeamish people. I recommend you skip this part if you can't handle such material. Lots of blood and disturbing material. I warned you.

!

"Lucius do you know what you're going to do?" Darius asked letting his vampire-like side go all out. Lucius shook his head. "Good, because you're going to nail yourself to the wall starting with your feet then to the knees and so on." Darius said almost leering. Lucius was desperately trying to stop his body's movement. His had was holding the nail and pushing it into the skin and blood was seeping out; slowly at first but soon began quicker. Lucius was screaming at volumes never before heard by mankind. The body did not stop and started beating the nail into the wall. The bone in his foot made a loud crack and Lucius actually lost the ability to scream loudly. "Cissa, make sure he ingests the blood replenishing potions I made. I need him alive until I decide to finish him. Lucius was not working on his knees. Narcissa quickly dispensed the potions down his throat. Lucius had fallen unconscious due to the pain. Angrily, Narcissa cast "Enervate" and watched Lucius continue screaming. Darius was surprised that she had revived him. Lucius knee gave a horrible cracking sound. Narcissa was glad she had stolen Lucius's wand because it would be a long night of spellcasting. Lucius had finished the nails in his knees and feet. Narcissa had her own idea.

"Nail your undersized manhood into the wall. It dared to even come near me" Narcissa said cruelly. Lucius made the movements and began. The screams of agony were good. Darius was more than happy to have the spell acknowledge her command. Only Lucius would be able to find the awful appendage anyway. Darius knew that Lucius would soon be unable to perform the acts after his hand was nailed in. Lucius was far beyond any agony he ever felt at his lord's curses. Narcissa was now enervating him in a bored way. She had gotten her revenge earlier and felt this was taking too long. "Darius as fun as this is I'm getting awfully bored." Cissa said sitting on his lap.

"I'm sorry my love I will expedite this immediately." Darius apologized. Cissa buried herself into his form. "Lucius finish up with your hand. I will do the rest." Darius commanded. After another nail went in Darius lifted Cissa and set her on the bed. Darius picked up the nails and aimed two at his eyes and one at the other hand. They flew and drilled into the wall killing Lucius instantly. "There lies Lucius, the scarecrow in his own home." Darius finished and heard the voice behind him.

"Darius come to bed I missed you so." Cissa said seductively. Darius didn't wait another second to show Cissa how much he missed her. They made love in the room now painted red with Lucius's blood.

!

End of Scene.

Hogwarts, the morning after,

Darius had brought Narcissa back to Hogwarts with him after their long night together. Narcissa had not felt so satisfied in a long time. Darius had left to see if he could get her a job at the school so she could live in the married quarters with him. Darius also had told her that he had most of the Female Slytherins in the quarters. Narcissa didn't mind about that it was good for these girls to have someone looking after them. The thought of Draco came to her mind. 'How do I handle him? Well hopefully he would be more loyal toward me than his father. I'm the living parent. If need be I can threaten to disown him…If he tries to take hold of House Malfoy? Foolish, it has no financial base without me. I will have to will him towards me rather than You-know-who.' Narcissa thought going down the staircase. She was immediately sized up by someone who could be a clone of a younger version of herself.

"Mrs. Malfoy?" the girl said confused. Narcissa's face scowled and the girl looked scared.

"Narcissa please, or if my beloved gets his way Ms. Black." Narcissa replied. The girl then had a revelation on her face.

"You're Narcissa Black! The woman Darius loves so much!" the girl seemed excited. Narcissa chucked a bit. "I'm so sorry I shouldn't have fallen for him but I couldn't help myself!" the girl apologized frantically.

"Calm down I'm not angry. I understand more than you know. So many women have thrown themselves at him. You are young and have dreams and it's had to resist him. He's everything girls like us want." Narcissa said calmly.

"Daphne! Who are you talking to?" another girl asked from further in the room. Narcissa learned the girls name and introduced herself.

"I am Narcissa Black and Darius is working on getting me a job as your Potions professor. I hope we can all get along. Darius means a great deal to me and would be crushed if we didn't get along. Now may I ask why you are here?" Narcissa asked patiently.

"In the Slytherin house under Snape the girls were collectively raped. Most of us, she motioned around the room, rejected and hid in other places; however some enjoys the sex and go with it." Daphne answered a little bitter. Narcissa nodded her head and understood why Darius did let them be here. Narcissa, if he weren't dead already, would have killed Snape at that moment. Darius had to deal with Snape quickly because in the school Dumbledore was always watching and the time Snape died was when Dumbledore had left the school for a meeting with the Order. 'Darius, my beloved, your intelligence could match mine easily. You know I believe that and continue to hold me above yourself. I love you for it.' Narcissa thought.

"Well then, if you are fine with it I will need your help. My son Draco, has he done any of this?" Narcissa answered possibly knowing the answer.

"The only one he might have would be Pansy but he is dating her now." Daphne answered. Narcissa debated on a course of action. Narcissa decided she would have to have a discussion with Pansy.

Headmaster's office,

Darius was here again solving Dumbles' problems. Dumbledore was so happy to have found a new Potions teacher. Darius explained she wasn't quite a master but still had a deft hand at it. Dumbledore had run out of options besides Horace but he was a hard man to find. Dumbles' insistent everyone can be redeemed worked amazingly well with Darius's wants here. He had told the Headmaster that poor Narcissa was distraught about her husband's death and needed a good place to take her mind off of it. Dumbles was so easy with the sob stories. Darius himself was asked to take up the role of Head of Slytherin House since he had the female half with him already. Darius accepted only because he had more power of the male half now. Draco would be in for a long talk about his principles.

Great Hall, Breakfast.

Harry was aghast at what the Prophet held that morning; Hermione was in equal gasp. Although for different reasons. Harry was amazed that Lucius was dead. Hermione was feeling happy for Darius getting Narcissa back. 'Or the future aunt Narcissa I suppose' Hermione thought pleasantly. Hermione looked over the article again.

Lucius Malfoy: Philanthropist or Pedophile?

Narcissa Malfoy has revealed all about Lucius in attempt to escape his savagery of merciless beatings. Narcissa also said that he was always raping innocent children for his own sick desires. Narcissa was locked in her room after giving birth to Draco. Narcissa revealed that she never had any interest in the Death Eater and was doused with love potions until the childbirth where she never got to see her son. Lucius has been keeping Draco busy with training to become a great servant to You-Know-Who. Draco could not be reached for commendation. Narcissa also revealed that she was taken from her original intended by Lucius who planned to kill him. This reporter can't enforce the point well enough Lucius raped children and then let Fenrir Greyback rip them to pieces.

The next article said Lucius Malfoy dead:

Aurors this morning found Lucius Malfoy nailed into the wall a most grisly fate. Details will not be given. Our hearts go to those in his loving family.

Hermione felt that the article above shown that Lucius had no loving family. Harry was just glad that he had fewer enemies to deal with now. Bellatrix needed to die. Harry assembled this opinion from all of the stories about her; some people would rather go to Voldemort than face her. Darius did not give an opinion on her which unnerved him slightly. Hermione told him not to worry about it; however Harry did worry about it and felt he needed an answer. Ron now appeared and sat down grumbling something about Potions being restarted. Harry looked nervous. Hermione reminded him she would be there as well. Hermione figured that Narcissa would be a better teacher than Snape. Ron was angry at the news of Draco being treated nicely by everyone at large.

"The guy gets special treatment when someone in his family dies all he ever does make everyone miserable." Ron said and Harry shook his head at his friend. Hermione looked like she would hit someone. Ron got a verbal abuse five times longer than normal.

Narcissa's office,

Pansy Parkinson was not the whore everyone made her out to be and often found such a thing revolting. She had wanted to go to the new common room with the other girls but stayed for Draco. She really did love Draco, not the spoiled bigoted one but the true one that only she gets to see. Pansy mostly blamed Lucius for not allowing Draco even his own self. Draco had once told her that his mother was never like that and even taught him basic politics and finances. He told her that his mother was really the only reason he listened to his father. Lucius would always threatened Draco's mother to get Draco to do what he [Lucius] wanted. Pansy felt bad for Draco and covered for his dislike of the other males in his house. The other males (Snape included) would always expect him to rape the girls from time to time. Originally, this was a plot by Pansy to avoid being raped by the other males. Soon, it became a friendship and eventually moved into a romance. Now, Pansy adored the boy and would do anything for him, even stand up to You-Know-Who. Pansy had a different challenge ahead of her explaining this to Draco's mother.

Narcissa waited patiently for Pansy. The office Snape held mostly held pictures of Lily; a few of them in varying states of undress. Narcissa immediately took these down and burned them. Snape was an unstable man and needed to be removed from the face of the earth. 'My beloved would be furious if he saw all of these.' Narcissa thought angrily. It was usual that whatever made Darius angry made her angry. A knock on the door meant Pansy was finally ready to face her.

"Enter Pansy" Narcissa said in a sweet voice. Pansy entered and noticed the burning pile of pictures.

"Good morning Ms. Black." Pansy said still a little frightened. Narcissa chuckled.

"You may call me Narcissa. You are in love with my son correct?" Cissa asked easily. Pansy gasped and tried to explain herself. "It's written all over your face my dear." Cissa said lightly.

"Is there a reason you called me?" Pansy asked trying to stay calm.

"Draco, is he what everyone has told me he is?" Cissa asked evenly.

"No, he isn't! He is just a kid who has been bullied by his father into acting out like he does! Draco almost cries himself to sleep every night over what his father forces him to do! Draco loves you far more than Lucius and only complied because Lucius threatened you!" Pansy yelled almost too quickly. Narcissa smiled at this relief. Pansy felt better that she was smiling.

"Good, I will be able keep my beloved from pushing him too far." Cissa said happily. Pansy looked confused. "My dear, I have always loved another man. I never really loved Lucius; the man you know as Mr. Black is my true love. I trust you with this because you have found true love with Draco. If you read the Prophet this morning you would know all about the lies Lucius told. I hope you will consider me a friend and to let you know Mr. Black is now the head of your house. Do not anger him; believe me on this; Lucius angered him and Lucius was killed in a brutal way." Narcissa ranted for a minute.

"Mr. Black killed Lucius?" Pansy asked almost ready to jump in joy. Narcissa nodded and watched her jump with joy at his death.

"I about did the same thing but instead chose to make love to my beloved." Cissa added teasing Pansy with too much information. Pansy stopped for a moment and thought.

"I heard Daphne wanted to jump him but he turned her down. Poor thing, can't find love in the school." Pansy said softly. Narcissa nodded slightly. 'It is indeed a sad thing.' Cissa thought.

Darius's office an hour later,

Draco was scared. He felt as though he had pissed himself three times. Pansy told him how it went with his mother and it gave him a safeguard. Draco was still scared; this was the man who turned his father into a scarecrow and got away scot-free. 'A fitting death for father though. In life he circulated around one thing and now he was used to keep intruders away.' Draco thought and calmed down. Mr. Black had run right through him earlier in the year and it opened Draco to his own rebelliousness. Part of Draco said that he was more of a father than Lucius ever was. Another part would always say that Lucius's genes run through him. Draco couldn't deny this as his hair color was a dead giveaway; his mother's hair was brown. Draco turned toward the door to face his music. He knocked on the door.

"Come on in Draco." Darius said from the other side. Darius was a lot happier that he didn't have to kill Draco. Draco had a lot of potential to be a great wizard but Lucius was holding him back greatly. Draco walked into the room and sat down. "Now Draco I'm not going to hurt you. You aren't your father which has put me in a great mood. 'Although it was really making love to Cissa but I doubt he wants to know that' Darius thought. Draco seemed to calm down and relax. "Draco I have become your head of house and as such I need you to be the eyes and ears of the place." Darius looked solemn.

"What do you mean?" Draco asked.

"I want you to listen in the dungeon for anything to do with Voldemort. If you desire you can also send me messages on the raping your housemates seem to enjoy so much." Darius said with disappointment. "Stupid dumbasses probably don't even realize it is wrong; such the issue with pureblood families; inbred to the point of mental disability." Darius sighed sadly. Draco was surprised.

"The purebloods are destroying themselves by breeding with other purebloods?" Draco asked confused.

"The issue is when they are mating with their own cousins and such. You need to diversify your genetics or you will all become weak and stupid." Darius answered. Draco nodded and seemed to understand.

"If I wanted to marry Pansy and have children they would be fine because we aren't related?" Draco asked more to relieve himself than asking for an answer.

"Of course you will be fine. Cissa has already got the wedding planned." Darius joked lightly. Draco blushed and left the room. Darius was curious how this would turn out. Draco would help him control Riddle's work. Arthur being made minister would happen in a few weeks and Darius had to convince him to reject Dumbles's proposals. The Weasley patriarch would take a lot of work. 'Alright Dumbles, shall we begin our game of manipulation?'
