Celeste woke up to screaming and the sound of glass shattering.She rolled over a squeezed her eyes shut hoping that it would stop soon. She could hear the rage in his voice and the terror in hers.

'Please God let it stop,please!' she cried inwardly.

"You stupid bitch!" He fathers voice echoed through out the mansion.

"I didn't mean to!" Her mother cried.

'One of Daddy's friends must be over.' She thought 'that's the only time he raises his voice at Mum.'

She heard her mother cry out in pain 'Or his hand for that matter'

She rolled out of bed and rummaged through her wardrobe, pulling out a pair of pinstriped pants and a white silk blouse. After shoving her feet in her ankle boots she threw her hair up in a messy bun and walked next door into her brother's room.

"Who is it?" She asked him

"Lucius and Thomas" He replied the tears shining in his eyes (A/N I don't know Goyle's father's name so it's gonna be Thomas)

"I won't be able to act like that." He said looking up at her "I won't ever be able to raise a hand at the woman I marry."

Celeste hugged her brother "I know. Your not a cruel person."

"Neither is Father." Stacey said

"Yes he is." Celeste snapped "How can you say he isn't when he down there beating Mum for the sake of the 'act'?"

The tears spilled over now, flowing down his pale cheeks.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so cross with you. It's just."

He cut her off "I know, I get frustrated when it happens too." Then "Vincent and Draco are also here."

"Should we go down then?" She asked him hoping against hope that he would say no, that she should stay out of sight.

Instead he just nodded. She grabbed a tissue and wiped his eyes, then took hold of his hand and they walked down the hall to the stair case and into the sitting room. "Hello Daddy." Celeste said trying to keep her voice even.But it was hard Her father was standing in the middle of the room his face red with fury. Lucius Malfroy and Thomas Goyle sat in two chairs behind him with their sons at their sides just as calm as you please.Her mother was on her hands and knees infront of her father sobbing. It took all Celeste had not to run to her. But she knew that it would do no good, as much as her father hesitated to even slap her hand when she did something wrong, if there were fellow deatheaters in the house he would beat her to a bloody pulp.So she just stood there.

"What are you doing dressed like a muggle?" He father snarled at her

"I was thinking about going into London today.I wanted to do some shopping before you ship me off to another school." She said

"You want to go shopping?" He asked "In muggle London?!"

"Yes." She replied staring straight ahead

"Last time I let you out there you had the bad taste to pick up that filthy little bastard." He said referring to Bryan

Celeste flinched on the inside but showed no signs of the sting of his words on the outside 'Filthy Bastard my ass!' She screamed in her head 'He was a much more decent man than you!'

She sighed "I learned my lesson last time Daddy. I will behave myself."

"Even so I still don't trust you.Stacey will go with you.And if Lucius and Thomas permit it I would feel a little more at ease if Draco and Vincent went with you too." He said

"I think that would be alright." Thomas Goyle said "What do you think Lucius?"

"I believe so too.I would never hesitate to do a friend a favor." He said his icy gaze never moving from Celeste.

"Alright you may go." He father said turning back to her "And don't forget to thank Mr. Malfroy and Mr. Goyle."

Celeste inclined her head slightly "Thank you sirs."

Thomas gave her a warm smile much like his son's "Your welcome child. Now get going all of you.We have important matters to discuss."

Draco and Vincent left their father's sides and joined Stacey and Celeste who were only to glad to leave that room.

After watching his children leave Andrew Dawson turned back to his wife "You little whore!" He hissed "You muggle loving whore! No wonder our daughter thought it right to love that boy! Your her mother and she looks up to you, and she sees you having an affair with that, that, THING! I can't even look at you, you disgust me that much!"

Tatiana sobbed even harder at his words. She had only wanted a little love in her life. It wasn't as if he showed her any anymore. Now her husband was either going to kill her or beat her. Most likely the later.Sometimes she longed for death. It couldn't be much worse than living in this black hell. He knew that killing her would be giving her what she wanted. So he wouldn't. That selfish man!

He turned his back to her and regarded his friends.

"What should I do?" he asked them

'Bloody coward!' she thought 'Always have to ask those morons what to do!'

"Well it's obvious you should punish her!" Lucius said

"I think he already knew that Lucius." Thomas said dryly "Maybe a week or so in the dungeons would straighten her out."

Andrew nodded. He hated treating his family like this, but it was expected. All he felt like doing was bawling like a little girl.

'How could she?!' he asked himself 'I have given her everything she could want.A nice home, love, a family, anything she has asked for I gave!'

"Is something wrong Andrew?" Thomas asked looking genuinely concerned.

"It's nothing Thomas. I just think a week would be to light.Maybe something more?" He said

Thomas regarded his best friend with a disbelieving look. He knew that wasn't it.He knew how Andrew was. If Lucius hadn't been here things would be different. Andrew wouldn't be afraid to let the tears loose.He wouldn't have been so cruel to Tatiana. But Lucius was here, so Andrew would force himself to keep up the act. Thomas was like his son. He didn't care for muggles, but he had nothing against them really. He was Andrew's most trusted confidant. And he knew from the talks that he and his son had it was the same way with Stacey, Vincent , and Celeste. He was glad. Deep down he hoped the friendship between Vincent and Celeste would bloom into something more. He loved Celeste like his own daughter so it would be easy to accept her as a legal one. But somehow he douted that would ever happen.He knew Celeste loved Vincent as another brother and nothing more.And Vincent? Well he was head over heels for Blaise.

"Andrew, maybe a beating with the whips would be in order." Lucius said

Andrew nodded "Yes, I think it would too.But not now.We have more important matters to dicuss.I will have one of the maids chain her up for now."

Lucuis gave an approving nod. When Andrew had joined the deatheaters he had been soft.But Lucius had helped him with that.He could now slap his wife without apologizing profusely afterwards.And now he could even hit his daughter.Something he had never dreamed of before. He was also the one who had suggested the punishment for young Celeste when she had dared dishonor her father by loving that filthy little muggle boy. When it had happened he had seen how Andrew was torn between running to his babygirl and cradling her in his arms or being strong and standing idly aside.He had made the right choice. He had stood aside and let her cry herself out. It was best for the girl and Lucius had known it, and he had told Andrew this.

'You must teach her to feel less compassion for muggles.' He had told him 'Andrew, she's getting to old to be protected from how the world works.You know if The Dark Lord found out he would make her do this or kill her himself.' Somehow Voldermort had found out. He walked in the room after the girl had been lead in. He watched with an aprroving air as she killed the boy and afterwards had told her it was the right thing to do.

And now this had happened.Andrew had found his wife in bed with a muggle. And once again he was taking Lucius' and Thomas' advice. How could he not? This was how it should be.If he ever caught Narcissa in bed with a muggle she would never be able to walk let alone have sex again.And as for him? Well there were plenty of wenches he could have.

(A/N Hey I want to say thanx to my reviewer.You rock.hehehe.yeah, I don't like the fact that she's a cutter either but that's how it is playing out in my mind. I also don't like the fact that everyone see's Vincent as a idiot. I see him as Celeste's best friend so that's how I'm gonna play it out. Again thanx for reviewing.Here want some skittles :::::Hands Shenaux a handful of skittles:::::::: Yummy aren't they? Next time I'ma have cheese enchiladas .mmmmmmm..lol.)
