CHAPTER 2 - ROOM OF SECRETS
Clank steps coming from the spiral staircase, the house gets busy, that sound wasn't heard for days, the scariest thing is that even the evil would get scared with that sound of heavy boots hiting the metalic ground, and you had no way out, the sound would reflect by the whole house, even if you tried covering your ears, you'd hear it, and the shivering is just a consequence that the sound makes to you. Finally, the sound stopped, the servants of the house were all lined up to wait for who ever was coming from upstairs, and they knew that it could be only one person, Lucius Malfoy.
The way Lucius would look at his servants was just the way he'd look at anybody miserable at his point of view, he'd look at you with a look as if he was telling you how pathetic you looked by his side.
His carriage was straigh, he was posh, dressed all in black, with boots that you wished he'd never step on your hand with them, he was very polite and witty, he could make you believe that you said things you'd never thought of saying, and all of that without using his witch-craft powers, another talent Lucius had and used a lot, specially when he wanted some information that only women had, was his charming way of speak, look and tread them. He would look dreadful adorable when smiling and making his sweet look that no woman could resist, this way, he could easily get what he wanted.
Getting out of the darkness, the servants could see his bright blindful blue eyes, and his evil smile, they all looked terrified when staring so close at him, but he seemed quite different from the other days, he seemed... happy?
"Good day", he said with a deep voice, but happy? The servants could not believe he had actually said good day for them, it sounded so weird, but still they were all concerned in answering, for the first time he looked directly to his servants into their eyes, making them shiver, he gives his evil smile and leaves the room, the servants give a relief breath.
The Malfoy's house was pretty big, you could get easily lost in there, it had many rooms, most of them locked, which the only one that could enter was the father, Lucius. He had many secrets and there weren't room enough for keeping all of them, so he'd just make more room and a strong lock so no one could enter, unhappily one of the locks were broken and one of his secrets revealed, but as he said "from all of the bad, the smallest".
He stops in front of a big door close to the second stair that would take you to the left side of the upstairs house, gives a look through the locker, sighs and smile, "Time to set you free my love", he takes out of his coat pocket a big key, an old one, and opens the door, the dark takes place again, he gets a candle that was by his side and enters, closing smoothly the door and locking it.
The room was all dark, and had a terrible smell, because for such a long time no one has been there and no windows were open so the air could go through, the dust was everywhere. It had many candles all over the room, and one by one with the one in his hand, Lucius were lighting them, giving the room a light. The room was full of books and papers, it was definitly a mess, it had boxes which contained more books in them, and some broken bookshelfs. And there, in a dark corner by a window taken by dust was a chair, and a small table full of papers, Lucius places the candle on the table and sits on the chair, gets his notebook and starts reading it to himself in a sort of low voice, and while he was reading, he would get other papers and take more notes. He did that for a long time, couldn't say it precisely, until he stops and looks at his notes and whispers, "You shall live for me now, live for me, make me proud, I'm your master, I'll lead you to the way, but you shall not fail, I've given my life for you, and now it's time for the payback!"
He closes the notebook and puts out the candle, "Good night".
