Hidden Shadows
I woke up this morning, to the sound of my mother (Nercissa) screaming. "Oh, now what's wrong?" I thought. And slowly found my way to the kitchen where I had herd her screams.
I saw her lying on the floor. "I wonder what happened" I whispered to myself. Blood was all over her and the floor. Maybe it was father, maybe he did this to her... No! It couldn't have been, he would have left the marks from the teeth of the snake head on his cane.
I whispered in her ear that she will be alright, and I will take her to her room, she then can get some rest, and when wakes up, can bathe. I was so sure she couldn't hear me though, since she looked like she was passed out. When she does wake up though, I'll make sure I find out who did this to her. She and I are not that close, but she is my family, and I have to live with what is true.
A few hours later, I hear my name being called. It was my mother, she was not screaming my name, but calling me softly to go see her. "Yes, mother?" I said as I entered the dark room.
"Could you please bring me a cup of tea?"
I nodded, but I really wondered what happened to her, or why she didn't say anything to me about what happened to her a few hours ago.
I brought back her tea, and watched her drink the first sip. She drank more of it, but slowly. "Mother, what happened to you?"
"I was....Attacked..." She whispered.
"By whom?"
"I don't really know... They were like shadows. It wasn't the first time I had seen them Draco, but before, I just thought they were guards that you're father had sent to make sure we did not leave the house. But they never attacked me before, maybe I did something wrong, or maybe Lucius wanted me dead."
I couldn't think of anything else to say, so I left the room. I admit, I was scared. Scared that they were not sent by my father, and sent to kill us all. But...But what if it was sent by my father... Does he really want mother dead? Or both of us?
I wanted to run away, but there was no way of leaving this house, not with its guarded walls. The only time I would be able to leave is if I go back to Hogwarts... I can't wait 'tell I go back, I hate being here, I hate it! I hate watching my mother and I suffer...
