11. Fear
'He has ordered Draco to do it.' Narcissa's eyes are cold, but you can tell she is crying inside, being brave for you. 'What are we going to do?'
Your heart beats; a rhythm of fear. The man you thought would save you is tearing down your world.
Narcissa looks up, her eyes haunted by the ghost of times to come. 'He hates you, love. He is going to kill our son.'
'No,' you say and smile; a bitter smile. 'He will not. Go to Severus.' You know what your lover is, and you have just given him your family.
