Chapter 2
Disclaimer: ::sigh:: Why do I have to do this every time? I don't owe anything that belongs to the great and mighty J.K. Rowling. ::grumples::
When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the pain that coursed through my body as I tried to move. I silently groaned as the pain intensified. I didn't dare to open my eyes since I knew the effort would pain me so. I just allowed my body to rest against my bed sheets. Only then did the pain decrease a little.
I caught a scent of my mother's perfume before I heard her come to my bedside. I felt her fingers start lightly brush my cheek. She came into my room and recited a healing spell, and immediately the pain was gone.
"I'm so sorry, Draco," mother whispered.
"There's nothing to be sorry about, mother," I softly replied.
I knew that I surprised my mother when I spoke because I felt her hesitate a little before she continued to stroke my cheek. I slightly leaned toward her touch as I opened my eyes slowly.
With my eyes opened finally, I tried to focus on my mother's face. I blinked a few times before my sight was cleared enough to settle on my mother's youthful face. I slowly reached my hands up and touched the side of her cheek. She gave me a small smile as she leaned into my touch.
"Why do you always have to protect him?" I said as my face turned into a frown.
Mother's smile dimmed and she dropped her hand to her side as my hands followed her motion.
"I don't always protect him Draco," mother replied.
"Then why must you use a concealing charm to hide the bruises?" I asked.
I waited silently when my mother didn't say anything. I knew she was hiding her bruises because I saw her flinch when I touched a spot on her cheek. With the charm on, she looked like she always looked. Clear and youthful skin that was soft to the touch. I knew that underneath the charm, her face was bruised and battered from the beating my father gave her. As I thought about the beating, my body tensed as anger coursed through my body.
"Please don't start anything more, Draco," mother begged, "he's gone away on business now, so we can spend the last few days you have of vacation together in peace."
I slowly nodded my head just to make my other happy. She gave me another one of her smiles and then moved to my window.
"Now we need to open up some curtains, it does not need to be so dark and dreary in here," she said as she pushed my curtains opened.
"Mom!" I groaned as the sun blast me in the face with its bright light.
I crawled under my blankets when the sun became too much. Mind you, I used to love the sun when I was a small child, but as I grew up; I started to dislike the sun. With the life I was treated to by father, I thought I deserved no more happiness or light. Before I could dwell on my pitiful sun fear, mother pulled the covers off of me. For a woman her size, her strength still surprises me.
Because the next thing I knew, I was on the floor beside my bed.
"Come along Draco, breakfast is ready and will not wait for you any longer!" mother said in a sing-song voice as she strolled out of my room as if nothing happened.
I glared at her retreating back until it disappeared down the winding staircase. Then I let a small grin cross my lips. My mother was happy, and that was enough for me right now. Even if it means that I have to stand the bloody sun for her and get my lazy butt out of bed this early. I looked at the clock beside my bed and groaned out loud once more.
"Mother, it's only bloody 7:30 in the morning!" I yelled.
I heard her light laughter near the bottom of the staircase.
"It's good to get up early once in a while, dear!" mother shouted back, "Get up now because Turvy made a special breakfast for you! It's your favorite!"
Hearing this, I immediately bolted up from my spot on the floor and ran to my bathroom. I'm part of the male species, food is very important to us!
After my shower, I was more awake than before. I wrapped my towels around my hips as I walked into my room to find some clothes to wear. (::drools::)
Finally deciding on a pair of khaki pants and a white button up shirt, I dressed myself. Checking over my reflection in the mirror, I was satisfied with my looks. Hey, so I'm a guy that cares about his looks. It's not bad! I let a small smile cross my lips when I realize that mother and I can now spend time together without fear since father left for "business."
"Draco, stop looking in the mirror and come down to breakfast now!" mother shouted up the stairs.
"Coming!" I replied back. I looked once more in the mirror before finally starting out of my room and down the stairs to the breakfast room.
I walked into the room and saw my mother sitting in her chair looking like royalty even after all the pain she's been through. She looked up at me and smiled. I walked over to her and sat down beside her.
This is how life should be for mother. Carefree and happy. I will make sure she has that one of these days.
A/N: Wow, I am soooo sorry about his update. I've been doing some Quinceaneras for some friends since they want me to be part of it. It's actually quite interesting thing though. Most of you probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but if you like to, just let me know, and I'll you in!
Anyways, this chapter is more happy than the first one. I thought after all that in chapter one, he deserve to be happy for some time. Hermione will be coming up sometime soon. But meanwhile, enjoy this chapter and PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
