Draco almost fell face first out of the fireplace, and would have if his mother hadn't been standing there. "Draco, it is a good thing you came home, your father is in the drawing room. He is having hallucinations, or something. I have already called the Mediwizard, but he has yet to Apparate." Upon saying those words, both Draco on his mother heard a pop.
"I am sorry it took so long Narcissa, I got stopped mid apparation by an urgent werewolf bite. I had to see that first, because Werewolf bites need to be treated immediately." The little brown haired mediwizard walked off towards the direction of the Drawing Room.
Draco looked at his mother, and started off to the Drawing room, with his mother not a step behind. The reached the door of the drawing room, and opened it to find Lucius Malfoy laying on his couch, and the mediwizard bent over examining him. "Yes. Hmm. Very bad indeed. Looks like a Hallucinate spell maybe. Yes, that must be it. But wait. No. This is bad. No spell. Hmmm."
After a few more minutes of the mediwizard mumbling to himself, he stood up. "Narcissa, Draco, I am afraid Lucius Malfoy was poisoned." Both Draco and Narcissa gasped. "I do not think I will be able to counter it though, it is a fast acting potion, which has a remedy that is almost impossible to make." Draco felt as if he would faint. Ad would have, but Draco never fainted.
It isn't like he loved his father, he didn't, because he treated him like crap, and he made his mum do awful things and to top it all off, was a Death Eater. But still, it was his father, and he never wished for him to just...croak.
"Now, now," the mediwizard said quickly, "Do not get totally upset, I know just one person who could make this for you, er, that is if he wanted to."
"Snape, Professor Snape would do it."
"Yes Draco, Severus Snape would do it, I think. I mean, I know he can, but, he isn't exactly one to... well...you know..." The mediwizard said to both Draco and Narcissa.
"Well, Professor Snape favors me, surprisingly, and I am sure he will do it, most likely not for my father, but for his favorite student I think he would." Draco explained.
The mediwizard nodded, and walked over to the fireplace. He pulled out a bag of green sparkling Faloo powder (a/n same as floo powder, but summons someone, instead of taking you somewhere) threw it into the fireplace, and called "Severus Snape."
Almost instantly, Snape's head appeared in the fireplace. "What," he snapped, and then realized who was in front of him. "Hello Narcissa, Draco... I hadn't realized you called me."
"We didn't Severus, the mediwizard did," Narcissa told him, and Snape looked behind Narcissa to see the form of the mediwizard stooped over Lucius.
"Professor, we were wondering if you could help us. My father was poisoned." Snape had an ugly look on his face, "I know you do not like my father, for that matter, neither do I, but please, try to help."
Snape looked at Draco, and sighed. "Of course I will help. Get the mediwizard for me."
Narcissa went to the mediwizard, and he came over. "Oh, hello Severus." The mediwizard said rather coldly to Snape.
"Hello Nott, didn't expect tot see you here. What is the poison, and what do I need to do?" Snape said icily. Draco almost laughed when he realized why they were talking to each other so spitefully. Nott is a Death Eater, the one who used to work with Snape, and the one who got punished when Snape left.
Narcissa and Draco left the two wizards, and walked over to Lucius. He was pale, and his eyes were closed, and flittering against his eyelids. "No, no, not him, take anything but him, he is my heir." Narcissa and Draco both jumped back.
"What is he talking about," Draco asked his mother. "Aren't I the heir, and doesn't he hate me?"
Narcissa just shrugged. They stood looking at Lucius for a couple of minutes, and then turned around, to find that Snape had Apparated, and was waiting for them.
"Narcissa, he has been poisoned with Varuti Lati. We think it must have been put in his bottle of muggle vodka," Snape told them, pointing at an empty vodka bottle next to the couch. "I can make the counter potion, but it will take time, and, depending on how long ago he had the poison, and how much he had, it might be too late. But I will make it as fast as I can, and we will find out. But I warn you, sometimes, they may be so far gone, that, even though they won't die, they will become insane..." He turned around and opened his potions bag, putting its contents on the desk.
Nott the mediwizard came up to Narcissa and Draco. "I advise you to go rest, the potion takes a long while to make, and it will be rather unpleasant to be in here once the smell kicks in."
"Oh, we shall go Nott, but, if you do anything to harm Severus, I will kill you. I know you hate him, but do not harm him, or you will regret it." Narcissa told him, and he stepped back, swallowing nervously.
"You know I wouldn't harm Snape...." Nott started to say, but Draco cut him off.
"Know that we have spies of all sorts in this house, and if anything happens to him, we will know who did it. I do not think Dumbledore would be very happy if his Potions teacher got murdered now, would he?" Draco said to him. Nott flinched visibly.
It was well known to everyone that the only wizard Voldemort and his supporters were afraid of, was Dumbledore. It was also well known that Narcissa Malfoy loved Severus Snape, and would have married him if it wasn't for Lucius. Nott knew better than to not take these threats seriously.
Draco and Narcissa walked out of the room.
