I do not own any of JKRS' characters. Other then Mariella at the moment
they are all her creation this is how Draco's love story started so we are
going back 4 years from the time the Prologue was set. Keep in mind Snape
has been a death eater and spy for many years and his behavior at Hogwarts
could have been lest then perfect ;)
Lady Julia Malfoy
Chapter 1: the end of a life in Hell
Draco Malfoy stood at Malfoy Manor waiting for his father to come home he had no idea what to expect his father. He had been worried about this encounter for weeks now it was only a few weeks ago that he had disobeyed his father and walked away from the life of a death eater. He had turned his head away when his father had told him that he would soon get the dark Mark after he graduated from Hogwarts. Draco had never felt the way his father did. There was love buried deep down inside him even if he had had to push it back down so far to put on an act for his father. Now he wanted to break free and do something on his own that could make everyone proud. He had never wanted his father's life of Darkness and he had refused it with all the force he could muster. "Draco Dartagnan Lucius Malfoy" Yelled his father from deep in the dungeons. Draco trembled at the sound he hated it when his father was Angry he knew that a beating was going to come along with his father's anger. He walked slowly towards the dungeons. He walked into his father's dungeons to find his father standing there looking as mad as ever. "Yes father" he said as he walked slowly towards him "How dare you disobey your own father you have to obey the life of the death eaters you are my heir you have to do what I ask you to" said Lucius. "I will never be a follower like you I want to be my own person and not be controlled by evil. I do not want to turn out like you" Yelled Draco he moved swiftly away from his father glad that the Hogwarts potions master had been able to teach him. " You will not escape me you little fool" yelled Lucius. Draco Appareated near the Hogwarts entrance and ran towards the castle he did not need nor want his father's abuse. He ran down to his head of houses dungeons. Snape had always offered support and comfort after his father would show anger. He wasn't looking where he was going and ran strait into someone. He was running so fast that he managed to knock her over. " I am so sorry I'm in a hurry to see someone. Who are you?" he said. "Mariella Snape; I'm looking for my father but this castle is so big it's easy to get lost in here" she said smiling at him she thought he was very good looking. "I'm not sure I heard you correctly you just said your last name was Snape. But our potions master doesn't have any family" he said "he hid me from his world I am of age now and I wish to know him and help him defeat the evil Dark lord." She said. Draco wasn't too sure of what to do with what she had said he had never thought of Snape as the type of family man. Mind you he father was no where near a family man himself. He walked her towards the dungeons where he was sure to find Snape. He wondered why the potions master had never told anyone of his daughter she was really beautiful even if she had some of the potion masters traits. Draco knocked on the door "Enter" came a voice from the inside. Draco walked in and was fallowed by Mariella. She looked strait at her father and gasped she had seen this man before. He had come to visit her when she was younger. She had a teddy bear he had given her. "Who is your friend Mr. Malfoy?" asked Snape "this is Mariella sir" he said. Snape let out a gasp and looked the girl over "Father??" she said "My little Darling Mariella. How I've longed to see you and be with you. You may be in danger from the dark lord if he finds out you found me" said Snape "I don't care I want to make him disappear I am fighting for the light and we will conquer him and make ashes with him" she said. The two men heard so much determination in her voice. "He had no right to take my entire family from me. My father, my mother, my aunts and uncles he will die for what he's done." She said she grew angry and some of the desks flew around the room. "Sorry about that" she said looking towards the floor. " I have never really had a handle on my magic the only thing I know how to do well is potions and it's only because I've had my nose buried in books" she said "Don't worry my dark angel everything will be fine we'll teach you all you need to know" said Snape "now Mister Malfoy I assume you came down here for a reason" he continued "Yes my father sir I only recently told him that I would not be getting the dark mark and going over to his side and he basically has been summoning me to Malfoy Manor or he wishes to disown me" said Draco " I think from now on you should stay in my dungeons maybe Mariella could help you bring your things here. You can continue being a student and doing every thing else but I would rather keep a close guard to you unlike your father I see you as a human being and your father often forgets that it is a choice to be a death eater not something that can be imposed upon you." Said Snape "Miss Mariella would you please accompany Mr. Malfoy and help him move in the three of us will have more time to talk when you return." He continued. Mariella simply followed Draco out the door and they made their way to the Slytherin common room. " Why is my father like that, why didn't he want me to stay with him?" asked Mariella " your father has never really associated to any of us. I have gained his respect by being in his house for the last 6 years and by being one of his death eater friend's son" said Draco. "Did I make a mistake by finding him. Draco I have been looking for him for so long I know he didn't leave me because he hated me. I know my mother dying hurt him deeply but he could have still kept in contact with me after his brother died I have been fighting and hiding on my own for the last 4 years now. At 14 I was terrified to be out there on my own but I didn't want to force my father to have more to take care of then his job at Hogwarts. I didn't want him to think I was a burden to him which is what I felt I would be if I would have come sooner" she said "Mariella your father was left to fend for himself when he left the dark side to help Dumbledore fight the Dark lord he has had to keep on an act for a long time and I think that you coming home will break some of that but he is still a hard man to figure out. Welcome to Slytherin house I hope my father hasn't found his way into the castle or else I'll be in big trouble I ran away from home today. I have no home. My father hates me for choosing to fight against The Dark Lord and not be like my father was. He is a poison to society me included my mother has never been able to take care of me because my father has had her under the Imperius curse for most of my life. She loves me and nurtures me but she is so submissive to him. If people don't please Lucius Malfoy there is always hell to pay." They had managed to make their way to the 6th year dormitories now and he showed her to his bed. "This is a really nice place. I love the Silver and Green. What should I do?" asked Mariella "here take the trunk and grab the books from the side table. There are also potion ingredients in that drawer. Could you just put them in there I'll grab some of my other clothes and my broom everything else is still in the trunk" he said looking back at her. His Shoulder still hurt from when his father had cursed him earlier and he had fallen against a wall of the dungeons in Malfoy Manor..
