Part two- Lucius

I don't think I ever wanted to join Voldemort and his quest for power. I was forced into it by my father and took a liking to it, so I too tried to force my son into the Dark World, but he refused. I think I know why. It's a dark cold world down there. No one to love you, even the one you married. I tried once to tell Draco about our life, but I don't think he understands yet, the importance of domination. I wake to find no peace of mind I said "how do you live as a fugitive?" Down here where I cannot see so clear I said "what do I know Show me the right way to go"
My wife always thought I was pushing on him too much when he was young. I practiced curses on him, those I had the counter curse for, at least. I wanted him to be ready to shut people out, to be cold and be able to feel pain. It's my job. And spies came out of the water And you're feeling so bad because you know And the spies hide out in every corner And you can't touch them no, Cause they're all spies
Once, I took him into the dungeons when he was about five or six. We had all the Death Eaters down there, to introduce and initiate him. But he was scared down there, it was cold and dark, so we arranged for it to occur, secretly, in the Three Broomsticks. I wake to see that no one is free We are fugitives Look at the way we live Down here I cannot sleep from fear I said "which way do I turn? Oh I forget everything I learned"
I thought that maybe in a sunnier place he would know and understand what I was trying to do. We had the Death Eaters in disguises, doing their jobs. A Death Eater, when there's no dark activity, is to spy. Make sure that no one is hinting about something happening; make sure no one has a clue, that's our job. I pointed the men out to Draco and told them that people who work with Father are spies, to protect us all. I thought he understood it well. And spies came out of the water And you're feeling so bad because you know That the spies hide out in every corner And you can't touch them, no, Cause they're all spies
We went into hiding often. I couldn't stay too long at my home or any one spot, because the Ministry was always at my heels. Sometimes I took my family, other times, the urgency to leave was enormous and I left them to fend for themselves. Both denied anything. I don't regret leaving them there. I always had them in my best interests, where they would be safest. It was for their own safety. And if we don't hide here They're gonna find us And if we don't hide out They're gonna catch us where we sleep And if we don't hide here They're gonna find us...
I told Draco I had to hide, to stay away from the bad people who wanted to hurt me. At such a young, tender, innocent age, he believed me, but when he found out the truth, he was furious. I told him he was better than other people because he had all magical blood; it hadn't been dirtied by Muggles. He believed that, too. While he was at Hogwarts, he believed anything. He had to, because he knew what I could do to him. *************************************************************
Now, at Draco's age of 17, he understands and he knows why, but he has been hardened. He speaks cold to everyone now, even his mother, who used to be the only person who could get to him. You can't read his face anymore. He shows no emotions, though his eyes change often to try and conceal his meaning. Spies came out of the water And you're feeling so good because you know That those spies hide out in every corner But they can't touch you, no, Cuz they're just spies.
I never thought I would die in my son's bedroom. Its kind of ironic. I'm being killed by the one person I was trying to protect, The Dark Lord, and Draco shows no mercy. He is just staring at me, watching as my life is sucked out of my body, my blood stopping, my heart slowing. Maybe he thinks I'm getting what I deserve. Who knows, maybe I am. Maybe death won't be so bad. It can't be any worse than staying here.
