Quiet Whispers

Chapter 1: Devoid of Emotion

"Daddy! Daddy!" screamed the voice of a blonde haired 2-year old."What is it now?" Draco asked, sounding frustrated. "Oh Draco, " Narcissa said softly, " he only wants to see his Daddy, and it's only a week before you go back to Hogwarts."
"Maybe I can get some peace then," Draco said coldly. Narcissa shook her head sadly and said, "I'm surprised at you Draco. He's your son. I would think you could show him a little more affection."
Draco just sighed and turned back to his toast. The little boy looked away, disappointed. "It's all right lovey," Narcissa whispered in his ear. "Maybe he'll be in a better mood later. Now run along."
The little boy didn't run, however. He slowly trudged out of the dining room."

Narcissa sat at the table next to her son. "Are you seeing..........her, today?"
Draco looked at Narcissa darkly. "You act like she's an awful plague."
"She is to me," Narcissa responded coldly. "She gets pregnant, and won't even keep her own child."
"She can't mother! How many times do I have to tell you that!? And yes, Addison and I will be seeing her today."

"Draco?" said a voice from the door.
"Yes father?"
"Could I see you in my office?"
"Certainly."
Draco nodded to his mother and left the table for the study. Lucius was already sitting in a high-backed leather chair. "Have a seat." Draco sat down. He didn't like the look on his father's face.
"What's wrong father?"
"Draco I'm afraid I have some bad news," Lucius said, his voice lacking emotion. Draco leaned forward in his chair, hanging on Lucius' every word.
"Well, actually, it is good news for me. Bad for you."
"Would you just tell me already!" Draco practically screamed. Lucius cleared his throat and said, "I'm not allowing Addison to stay here any longer."

Draco practically fell out of his chair. "What!!!!" he yelled. "What in the hell are you talking about?"
"I'd thank you not to talk to me like that," Lucius said, his voice icy. "And you heard me. I can't take that little brat anymore. You were enough. I want him gone in a week."
"I have no where to take him!"
"Give him to your girlfriend then," Lucius sneered.
"She'll be at Hogwarts too!" Draco said frantically.
"Bring him to Hogwarts then," Lucius said calmly.
"You know perfectly well they don't allow that."
"Smuggle him in," Lucius suggested. "You have done that before."
"Never with a human!" Draco screeched.
"Do what you have to, but I want him out. Gone. Never to return. Now get out."

Draco closed his open mouth and stepped out of the room, his heart racing, and his normally pale face beat red. "How dare he!" Draco raged, as he stepped back into the dining room.
"Do what dear?" Narcissa asked. "Don't you play games with me Bitch!" Draco responded. "You knew what was going on! You probably encouraged it. You're always saying how I have to take responsibility!"
Narcissa was crying now, and through her tears she said, "Draco my angel, I don't know what's going on! I swear it!"
"Your a load of shit you know that?" Draco said. "I am not even going to stay here the rest of the week. Addison and I are leaving tonight after we pack!" And with that, he stormed out of the kitchen and into his son's room.

"Addison," he said, pulling on his arm, "We need to go. Narcissa and Lucius don't want us here anymore. We have to leave." Addison looked up at Draco with teary, puzzled eyes. "Don't be a baby," Draco said, and started to throw some of Addison's things in a bag. "Here," he said, handing it to Addison. "Put some of your toys in it while Daddy gets his things. Addison nodded tearfully and Draco patted him on the head.

Draco packed the essentials, like his robes and Hogwarts stuff. he would have to come back for the rest later. The were going to have to stay at The Three Broomsticks for a week. Draco sighed. He was very nervous about Addison being found out. He was only seventeen, and a two-year old child didn't look good.

Draco illegally apparated himself and Addison to Diagon Alley without even saying good-bye. "I want my Cissy!" Addison wailed. "Shut up!" Draco told him loudly. "She is an evil, evil girl. You will never see her again." Addison cried even louder. Draco walked into The Three Broomsticks to reserve a room. He got a few strange looks as he went up to the manager dragging a little boy by the arm.

"I'd like a room please," Draco said politely as he could. Then man eyed him suspiciously. "How many?"
"2."
"You and your......brother?"
"Yes."
"This my Da-" Addison started to say, but Draco clapped a hand over his mouth. "He's tired from the trip."
"I see. Hey, haven't I seen you before?" Draco quickly shook his head.
"Are you by any chance related to Lucius Malfoy?"
"Lucius who?" Draco said, a fake confused expression on his face. The man shook his head and said, "No matter. Here's the key to your room." Draco took the small brass key, thanked the man, and went off to find room seven.

"Addison!" Draco hissed, as soon as they were out of earshot. "I told you not to talk! Never talk unless I tell you to all right?" Addison nodded, but didn't say anything. Draco opened the door and came face to face with the shabbiest room he had ever seen in his life. "Good Lord, " he whispered to himself. "I never wanted you to sleep in a place like this." Draco unpacked a few of their things and told Draco that they were going to see his mommy.

When Draco and Addison got to the restaurant they saw that Ginny was already waiting outside. "Mommy!" Addison screamed, running to her. "Hi baby," she said catching him in her arms.
"No so loud!" Draco whispered fiercely. "Nice to see you to," Ginny said sarcastically. She was wearing a lime green tank top and matching headband, cutoff shorts and brown sandals. "What, are you to good for robes now?" Draco sneered. "Ha ha," Ginny said. "As a matter of fact, I'm too hot for robes. Shall we go in?"
"Not yet," Draco said, grabbing her arm. There's something I need to tell you." Ginny smiled. "What is it?"
"You might want to sit down," Draco said, motioning to a nearby bench.

Ginny's smiled disappeared and her skin turned a shade whiter. "Someone's found out! Haven't they!?" she whispered farntically, tightley clutching the fabric of Draco's robe.
"No, it's not that." Draco said, and Ginny let out a huge sigh of relief. " Thank goodness!" she cried. "It would ruin me!"
"I know," Draco responded blankly.
"Well what is it then?" Ginny asked impatiantly.
"We have to take Addison to Hogwarts."
