Chapter 2:

Lucius stormed up the stairs. He ran into Draco's room and slammed the door behind him. "Get up! now!" yelled Lucius.

Draco obeyed. Lucius noticed the tears running down Draco's cheeks, and grinned, a grin of evil, taking his tears as an advantage. Draco dreaded to think of what was to come next. He was paralyzed with fear, his legs might have well been jello. A voice interupteed their thoughts. "Lucius! You've just been called to one of your meetings!" Narcissa yelled up the stairs.

Lucius really wanted to punish his son, but the meeting was more important, a death-eater meeting! "You've got off easy this time, Draco, but if I ever hear of you dihonouring the family name again, it will be much worse. Take that as a pointer," said Lucius, through gritted teeth.

And with that, he stormed out of the room. Draco could he him marching down the stairs, a little bit louder than usual.

Summer was coming to an end and it was almost time to head back to Hogwarts. Draco didn't take this as an advantage, but it was better than being at home with his father. Everyday Draco got scolded for something, the bigger, the worse the punishment. Today Draco and his father were going to Diagon Alley to search for school supplies. Why did he always go with his father, he didn't know. Why not his mother? "Draco, stop standing there pondering, and hurry up," said Lucius.

Diagon Alley was packed with people, walking off in every direction. They bumped into Draco as he passed. They entered Flourish And Blotts, and picked up required books. They were just about to leave when they spotted Arthur Weasley. "Oh great! we always seem to bump into them! of all people..." thought Draco.

"I see you're shopping, but why are you in a shop in the first place, I thought everything you owned was hand-me-down," said Lucius.

"I make my money, it's none of your affairs!" Arthur said, in protest.

Draco noticed Ron Weasley scanning through books on a nearby shelf, he walked over to him. "Why bother? you can always wish I suppose," said Draco.

Ron turned, "Scram Malfoy, go suck up to your father!" he said.

"Watch you mouth, Weasley, I'd rather have a father like mine than a wreck like yours," said Draco.

But Draco knew that was a lie, he might've even picked Ron's father over his. Ron was just about to shoot another nasty comment but was interupted. "Draco, come along," said Lucius.

"See you at Hogwarts," said Malfoy, with a cold smile.
