Chapter 4 Drunk

Draco woke up, the sun was shining in his face. Coincidently, as if on cue his mum walked in. "Hi sweety, I'm going out shopping today, I won't be back till late, your father will be home, but he's leaving around 5, he should be back before me, now-"

"Mum, what time is it?"

"Hmm? Oh it's about noon." She paused, "Right so I should be off, see you later sweet heart!" With that, she left leaving Draco slightly confused to of what was making that woman so damn happy.

Draco crawled out of the Lazy Wizard and left the room back to his bedroom.

When Draco got in his room he headed toward his dresser but tripped over something on the way. it was Lucius. What the HELL? Lucius gave a small grunt, Draco as quietly as he could made it to his dresser, opened it up, and grabbed some clothes. Draco then went into his bathroom and changed, he silently left his room and went to the kitchen.

What the HELL was he doing? Is he that pathetic? I don't hug back, leave the room and he doesn't leave. he SLEEPS through the night on my bedroom floor. Draco fixed some cereal, ate it in confusion of what just happened.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Draco woke up, he had fallen asleep at the kitchen table. He looked at the clock, it was 5pm. Where the hell did the day go? I wonder if dad's gone like mum said. Draco ran to his room and found it empty, he ran all around the house checking any room his father might be in. All empty. Thank GOD he's gone. wonder where he went anyway.he never works on Fridays. Draco shrugged and went into the den. He, like the night before, plopped onto the Lazy-Wizard, and turned on the TV set.

Before long Draco heard a slam. Mum's home.no, she said father would be home before her. Draco got up and went to the front door, he ran into Lucius before he made it.

"Hey bitch." Lucius said. Draco backed away cautiously, this has happened before, Lucius is drunk.

"You've been drinking Father, you should go lie down." Draco said slowly. "DON'T tell me what to do bitch!" Lucius leaned in and kissed Draco on the lips. Draco backed away, Lucius grabbed Draco's wrist and began to twist it. "Do that again and I'll hit you." Draco began to tremble and back away. "What did I JUST say?" Lucius grabbed Draco by the collar on his shirt and swung at Draco's head. He then punched Draco in the stomach. Draco fell, on the floor he was gasping for air while tears streamed down his face. That punch was hard enough to bruise. "Boys don't cry." Lucius said and hit Draco in the back as hard as he could. Draco cried harder.

Out of nowhere a strength came to him, Draco stopped crying and stood up, shaking, he stood up. He heaved his fist at his father, punching him as hard as he could in the face. Lucius nearly fell to the floor, but he managed to keep balance. Lucius, outraged, had the look of death in his eyes. Lucius swung at Draco, hitting him in the face. Draco fell, his back to the wall. Lucius then kicked Draco.in the crotch. A pain shot up through Draco, he couldn't breath, he fell to his side. He curled into a ball crying. Lucius, took one final hit, he kicked Draco in the face, and with a smug look about his face he stalked off to his room. Draco was knocked out from the kick in the face.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Draco became conscious, he was still lying on the floor in the same position. His face hurt like hell, so did his whole torso. He managed to stand up and he somehow made it to his room. He plopped onto his bed, aching all over he began to cry again.

As he lied there crying he started to look over his calendar. and by George there were one more dat until he was to go to the platform and leave for school! He had lost track of time ever since he was let out. 'I know what I'll do, I'll leave early Sunday so I can get away from Father as soon as I can.
