Madelyne

Chapter 1

****************************************************************

Madelyne Malfoy walked into the Malfoy Manner not on the usual third Friday of the month. Normally she would have a nice little obligatory weekend visit with her brother, sister in law and sometimes her nephew and then go back to her life, and her loft, in London. It was odd. She knew something had to be up if Lucius would specifically invite her to the manner. Madelyne threw down her stuff and called out, "Lucius, the prodigal sister has returned per your request." Lucius appeared suddenly with the same menacing scowl he always greeted her with. Today something was different. He gave her a small smile. "Your smiling. Come on Lucius your freaking me out. The only time I've ever seen you smile is when you're up to something. Tell me Lucius, what machinations, secret manipulations, plots and sub plots are you cooking up this time.

" And what makes you think that I'm up to something."

"Because I've only known you for, I don't know, 28 years, and whenever I'm here you never smile." Lucius ushered her into an very gothic and elaborately decorated room of red and black. Once their father's office but now belonged to Lucius. She took a seat in one of the over stuffed black leather chairs that lay in front of the mahogany desk as Lucius took his place behind the desk . "Wow, the inner sanctum of Lucius Malfoy. I must be in some type of trouble. Tell me. How have I embarrassed the family this time?"

" On the contrary you have been behaving remarkably well for you. Only one minor incident since we last met. A bar fight if I remember correctly. Well done. Causing a fight with a muggle then making her top fall down with a spell." Lucius spoke sarcastically.

" She disserved it. I saw the way she looked at me. Like I was trash or something. I was teaching her a bloody lesson to be careful who she glares at. And as for her top perhaps she'll think twice before wearing a halter top again. People who are without breasts really can't pull it off." Madelyne said as she started working herself up again at the reminder of the unpleasant situation.

" Yes well considering that's the only thing that you've done to embarrass us in the past month I'd say that you are maturing in your old age. You're 28 now aren't you?"

" Yes I am. But I doubt that I am here to discuss my age. So tell me Lucius, I'm dying to know exactly why I'm here."

" Moving right along then. Do you remember my friend Severus?

" Of course. I haven't seen him for years though. Heard he's teaching brats to read at Hogwarts or something."

" He's the potions professor there. Rather a waste of his talents if you ask me. He had such potential for greatness. At any rate I've been thinking a lot about that day. Do you remember? It was about a week after Mother died and you and Severus were betrothed."

" I remember. What of it? Father died before I was of age so I didn't have to go through with the union to that greasy git. I'm glad I didn't have to go through it. I can't imagine having to actually go through with it. Imagine sex with Snape what a bloody joke!"

"Start imagining."

" I beg your pardon?"

" I think it's time you upheld your agreement with him. You are 28 Madelyne. You are not getting any younger. I thought that if I gave you a few years of freedom that you would settle down your promiscuous ways but it seems that you are the same old Madelyne as ever."

" You've got to be joking me. I'm not getting married to him. The deal was that I was marry him when I was of age. Since that time has come and gone I assumed that you had both forgotten about the arrangement."

" I didn't feel it was fair to give Severus a wild uncontrollable wife. I asked him if he would wait a few years until you had matured. He agreed. I have contacted him and you are to be married on the 15th of July that way you have time to conceive a child before he goes back to school."

" Whoa wait a minute. I am not getting married! Especially not to him. And what you expect me to not only have sex with him but to bear a child with him? You must have gone mad!"

" I have the contract that you signed. Saying that you would marry him and have intercourse with him until the time that you conceived your first child together then after the child is born to service his needs once a week or if the occasion arises that he needs to be away from you for any given time he may "bank" so to speak, your services until a time that is convenient for him." Madelyne was starting to get very angry at this time.

" So you expect me to have sex with him whenever he wants until I am pregnant then he can just go off and leave me barefoot and pregnant while he's off doing god knows what. I won't Lucius. I was a child when I signed that agreement. You can't honestly expect me to uphold it. I was 12. I was distraught. My mother, the person who I loved most had died. I didn't know what I was signing. Father told me to sign it, so I did."

"I'm afraid that this is my decision. You will marry Severus and give him an heir!"

" Or what? You can't touch me Lucius. I have my own money from father's estate that I inherited when I was 25."

" Correction you think you have your own money. There are some conditions of that money my dear. You see I control all of your finances. You have money because I see fit that money. The money is mine to take if I think that you are misusing it in the slightest manner."

" You wouldn't dare!" Madelyne challenged him.

" Oh but I would. If you marry Severus and stay married to him the money then becomes yours legally."

"And if I don't?"

" Then you my darling sister will end up a beggar on the streets. I will make sure of that."

" You're more heartless than I ever gave you credit for." Madelyne sat back in her chair fighting the tears that threatened to fall.

" I am doing you a favor. The sooner you realize that, the better off you'll be."

" Why are you so determined for me to marry Severus?"

" Because I promised Mother that if anything happened to her I would make sure you married well. She helped father to arrange the match with the Severus's parent's you know. She even picked out your wedding gown using a bit of magic to predict what you would look like when you were grown."

"Your lying. Mother would have wanted me to marry for love!"

"Mother also had a saying. Marry first, fall in love later are the words she said to me when I became engaged to Narcissia. I offer you the same words. Severus will be a decent husband, and you may in time grow to love him."

" I will never love him! Never! Do you forget that I know what you both used to do when you were death eaters and had your little gatherings here. I can't forget no matter how much I drink to try and forget. Watching Father copulate with endless females while mother was forced to watch. Raping those that weren't willing to submit to his charms. I remember having to comfort mother, to talk her out of hysterics. To clean up her blood when she had a little "accident" with one of father's hunting knives. I saw her go through things that no woman should ever have to go though. I refuse to be like her. I won't die of a broken heart every time my husband screws around with the maid. And then the cycle continued with you. Not long after your wedding to Narcissia, I saw you in our pool fucking a girl who couldn't of been more than 16. And your beloved wife hiding in the shadows watching the whole event transpire. Do you think she doesn't know about your past transgressions with other women. Do you think that she doesn't weep to think that you don't love her as much as she loves you? Do you even realize that little by little you are becoming him. Our beloved father. I wonder if Narcissia lays awake, wondering how many little Malfoy bastards are running around out there the way mother did. I don't want to lay awake and wonder like mother did Lucius. "

"None the less the Marriage is taking place in three weeks time. That should be long enough for you to tie up your affairs in London and movie in here to prepare for the wedding." Lucius said with little emotion. Years of being a death eater had made him immune to remorse and regret for his past actions. "Dinner is at 7. Draco is here and will be pleased to see you. I trust you won't sulk for too long. I have business to attend to and I'm sure that you want to freshen up so if you will leave and shut the door on the way out I can get on with my work." Madelyne got up stunned and walked out of the room with little emotion. She walked up to her room and fell on the bed and began to cry uncontrollably. She was trapped with no visible way out.
