"Are you still mad at me Draco?" I asked the next morning.

"Of course! That brat went and told Rivers about me and now she's going to come after me!"

"Draco, Becky is not going to come after you."

"You're right. Because I had the manor spelled so that none of your nosey friends can come here."

"You can't do that! I want to see them Draco!"

"I told you before that you will have nothing more to do with them." I stormed toward the door and yanked it open. I slammed right into Lucius.

"Where are you going?" he demanded.

"She's running off to see Rivers," Draco said. "She thinks she can defy me." Lucius pushed me into the house and shut the door.

"You are a Malfoy now," he said coldy. "You are to obey your husband. You will do as he says and stay away from the people he does not want you to be around. What happens between the two of you stays between the two of you."

"Screw that!" I pushed past him and started for the door. Lucius grabbed me and threw me back into the house. I crashed to the floor and he walked clamly down the front steps.

"Draco it appears that we will have to teach your wife a lesson," he said. Draco nodded.

"I was thinking the same thing Father." Lucius pulled me to my feet and he and Draco dragged me down to the basement.

"Let me go!" I shouted. Draco shoved me down the basement stairs and I hit the floor with a painful crash.

"You never learn Schyler," Draco said as he and his father walked toward me.

"Maybe you're not a very good teacher."

"Then perhaps the two of us will be enough to teach you," Lucius sneered pulling out his wand.

"Yeah I've got one of those too," I snapped getting to my feet and drawing my own wand. Draco sighed.

"Why do you even bother?" he asked. "Accio wand!" Lucius stepped toward me and I backed up.

"Oh Father watch this!" Draco said pointing his wand at me. "That mudblood Rivers did teach me something useful! Defodio Totalum!" I fell to the floor screaming in pain. Blood flowed onto the floor and pooled around me.

"Impressive," Lucius said. "Draco don't kill her." Draco lifted the spell and I became still. Lucius raised his wand now and brought it down. There was a crack like a whip and I screamed as I felt a long gash cut across my back.

"She knows this spell," Draco sneered. "I found it very effective." Lucius laughed and continued to use the spell on me.

"Look at what a bloody mess she is Draco," his father instructed. "Never forget that she is beneath you. Never let her question you. Keep her under your control at all times."

"Yes Father."

"Draco...please...help me..." I whimpered.

"I did not tell you to speak!" Lucius shouted bringing his wand down, causing me to scream. "Draco you must train her. I shall leave you to it." Draco raised his own wand as his father walked out.

"Who makes the rules in this house?"

"I don't follow rules set by people like you." Draco hit me with the spell.

"You!" I screamed.

"Are you going to ever tell anyone about what goes on in this house?" He hit me agian.

"No!" Draco laughed. He continued to question me and hit me well into the night. Finally, I passed out, too weak and frighted to stay conciouse any longer.
