Chapter 6:

To Draco Malfoy,

As you know this is from your father, you'd have to be dafted not to know but you always seem to surprise me with your stupidity. You have better be keeping up with your grades, that dirty little mudblood better not beat you again. I'm tired of you always shaming the Malfoy name and now if you fail, you are also insulting our Lord and that will not be tolerated. Within the next month you will come home on the weekends and meet with our Lord, he wishes to get to know you and make sure you are worthy of the honor of being his. You better not screw this up cause if you do, I'll make sure you spend the rest of your days in hell.

Signed Lucius Malfoy

As I finished the last line, the letter burst into flames and turned to ash before disappearing into nothing. All thou the letter may have been gone, the contents of it still spun in my head. I sob burst from my lips as I quickly covered my mouth to keep silent, everyone else was asleep and I had no desire to wake them. 'A month? Oh god, it's happening faster than I thought it would!' I screamed in my thoughts as tears fell from my eyes as I curled into a ball on my bed. With a trembling hand I spelled the currents closed and put up a privacy spell and just let myself go.

I don't know how long I cried, all I know is that I never felt so alone in my life. I was going to hell and my father was happily dragging me in. I never wanted this; I always wanted a normal life! Why is it that I was picked for this? What had I done to deserve this punishment! I've heard people refer to it as a reward! What kind of reward was this? One that lead you to hell and tore away everything you wanted? Dreamed of? No this was a nightmare that was my reality and there was no silver lining, nothing to save me. I couldn't tell anyone about this, no. I couldn't endanger anyone's lives with this.

Suddenly my spells were broken and the currents pulled back, twisting around quickly to look at the intruder, I saw the one and only Severus Snape. "Come with me Draco." He whispered as he waited for me to climb out of the bed. Slowly I did and began to follow him out of the dorm and down the hall. 'Oh god! It can't be now can it! I just got the letter!' I thought as panic began to sit in as my body began to tremble even more. Soon we stopped at a statue of a gargoyle and Severus leaned closer and whispered something before it moved aside and revealed a passage way.

Slowly following him in I couldn't breathe as my terror grew greater as we came to see….a living room? 'Where are we?' I thought nervously. "You can relax dragon and sit down please."Severus said as he moved over to a cabinet and poured something as I sat on the couch. "You're in my living courters and I believe you know why I brought you here." He said as he came over and handed me a cup of something warm and took a seat across from me on another couch. "Not really sir." I said quietly as I looked down at the cup, recognizing it as earl grey tea. "Dragon you don't have to call me sir here, were safe. You can call me Severus or godfather or as you did when you were young, papa." He trailed off as he seemed to get lost in his memories.

Taking in a deep breath I asked, "Why am I here?" Severus looked up at me and sighed as he put his tea down on the table between us, "I think you got some idea as to why you're here. Your father is giving you to the Dark Lord as his bride just so he can gain some light in his master's eyes. It's quite sickening for one person to give away the thing that should be most precious to them." He said as his gripped tightened on the arm of the couch. I was startled by this, the way he was talking it almost sounded like…"Is he not your Lord as well?" I asked cautiously. Severus looked up at me and smiled a bit, "No Dragon he is not but neither am I with Dumbledore. This is a dangerous game I'm playing and I can't stand by and watch as this happens to you. I can't let this happen to my child..." he said as he trailed off as a sad look came to his eyes.

"Your child?" I asked a bit stunned, 'he called me his child! Why would he do that?' I thought confused as I looked at him desperate for answers. "I wanted to tell you years ago. Hell if I had things my way you would have had an entirely different childhood. You see Dragon…you're my son. You came from my body for I am also a bearer. You see Lucius and I were once together before and a bit after he married your mother. We were in "love" I guess but now it seems like just a attachment. Your father used to be stable but after he came everything began to change. Even from the grave he seemed to have control over things and your father fell into the spell and he changed into this lunatic that he is now. When I became pregnant with you, your mother found out and surprisingly she was happy for us. She never wanted to marry your father; she was forced by her mother. So she thought maybe she could leave now that Lucius has a son and find the love she was forced to give up but alas it didn't happen that way. Lucius forced it to be where Narcissa would be your mother and "had" you and I was to be your godfather and if I told you the truth, he threatened to kill you." He explained as he seemed to sink into himself.

I couldn't believe it; I was so stunned it was amazing. The one person I always wanted to be my father was actually my mother! And my "father" was forcing him to stay away from me to keep his secret of being with a male. Trembling a bit I sat my cup quietly down on the table and walked around it to Severus and stood before him. When he looked up at me in question, I bit my lip before launching myself into his arms and held onto him for dear life.

Severus didn't make a move for several seconds and I began to think I did wrong but soon he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to him as he could and buried his face in my hair as I buried mine in his chest. "Oh Dragon, I'm so sorry I wasn't strong enough to protect you. But I'm going to make sure you stay safe and away from that monster. He will not touch you. You hear me, he will not touch you as long as I'm breathing." He into my hair as he cuddled me close as I began to sob, this was all too good to be true. We sat there for a long time just making up for lost time and soon we fell asleep like that, comforted by each other's presence.
