Chapter 2
"You read my letter?!" Cascade cried then narrowed her eyes menacingly. "How dare you!"
"Well, you did leave it lying out on the table!" Draco replied, glaring at her.
"That gives you no right to read it! Have you ever heard of manners? Oh, wait. I forgot you're a MALFOY!!!!" Cascade yelled.
"If you hadn't left it out on the table I wouldn't have read it!" Draco yelled back. "And if the information in it is so personal, then you shouldn't put it in a letter!"
Cascade didn't reply. She couldn't argue with that logic. She just grabbed the letter and put it in her pocket. Then she curtsied stiffly. "If Master Malfoy would entertain himself for an hour or so, I'll have dinner ready by the time your father gets home." She said coldly and opened the refrigerator.
So Draco walked up to his room and kicked the door shut.
"She's friends with Potter and a daughter of that stinky, mean, horrible werewolf. I should have known," Draco said aloud, "And she's a werewolf herself. I can tell!"
About two hours later, Draco heard the door open and then Cascade called up the stairs,
"Master Malfoy, dinner!"
Draco walked down the long stairs and into the living room where a salad on the table was waiting for him. His father was in the hallway, taking off his cloak. He was swaying side to side, and Draco could tell immediately that he was drunk. He grabbed onto the wall to support him and started to walk to the dining room. About halfway there, he fell. He didn't try to get up. He just started babbling nonsense words. Draco rolled his eyes and went back to his salad. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Cascade leave the kitchen and help his dad off the ground. She put her arm around his shoulders and helped him into the dining room. Draco's eating pattern never faltered as she sat him down in a chair.
Cascade gave Draco a dirty look, and said, "Can you please watch you father while I get a potion to help him?"
Draco gave her a nod and she disappeared into the kitchen. Draco watch as his dad sat at the end of the table, swaying side to side, and saying things like "Did you mow the lawn," or "Fix the leg". Then he started bawling. Draco just stared at him as he sobbed into a napkin.
Just then, Cascade walked back in, carrying a tray with 3 cups and a small potion bottle.
One of the cups held Butterbeer, one held water and the other one was filled with a dark red liquid that looked a lot like wine.
"That's not wine for Dad, is it?" Draco asked and Cascade gave him another dirty look.
"Oh course not. I'm not stupid. It's not wine and it's for me anyway."
"Well excuse me." Cascade ignored Draco and set the Butterbeer by his plate.
Then she put a few drops of potion in the cup. She sat down in a chair and said cautiously, "Mr. Malfoy?"
Lucius looked up at the girl and said "Why did I do it? He's evil and twisted!!!!! If I didn't she'd still be here and my son would love me! But now it's too late!!!!! He has control! I can't walk away! I've become part of him! He hasn't fulfilled his part of the bargain! I need help! Ooohhh, how did I end up like this! Curse him! My life is beyond repair! I hurt even when I'm feeling no pain! I should just kill myself!"
After this outburst, Lucius went into more nonsense babbling sobbing uncontrollably. Cascade knew that unless she could get him to calm down, she couldn't get him to drink the potion, therefore he would be up all night puking and yelling. "Music calms the soul of every beast," Draco heard Cascade mutter, then she began to sing softly,
"I got a feeling, my head is reeling,
My heart is screaming,
I'm about to bust loose,
Bottled up emotion,
It's more than a notion,
It starts with I and ends with a U,
I got a feeling, are you feeling it to?"
Lucius stopped crying and talking and listened to Cascade sing. When she finished he said, "More! More!" Cascade looked at Draco who shrugged.
"Okay, but when I'm done you have to drink this potion." Cascade said to Mr. Malfoy who nodded his head. So Cascade started up again:
"Floor board is filled with baby toys, empty coke bottles and coffee cups,
Driving through rain with no radio,
Trying not to wake her up.
Cell phone says low battery, God what if I break down?
I'm just looking for an exit with a lota lights,
A safe little interstate town.
Just a cheap hotel, with a single bed, and cable TV.
It's good enough for me and Emily."
Cascade stopped and gave Lucius the cup he drank it down and became his normal self. Cascade began shaking. Draco looked at her. It wasn't cold enough for her to be shaking that much. Then her eyes rolled back in her head. Her hand went up and grabbed the cup. She drank all the liquid and then ran into the kitchen. Draco just stared after her.
