"One thing I don't know why

It doesn't even matter how hard you try."

Draco went back home in the same manner he had arrived in, withdrawn and still. Lucius was in a bad mood rambling on about Aurthur Weasley getting the job. Draco looked up at his fathers face. Lucius's lips were curved into a desaproving frown while his nose was srunched up in a digusted snarl. His face was held high, still trying to show that he was higher and more important than anyone else but these were common Malfoy trademark faces. The thing that intriged Draco was he saw a glint of jealousy in his fathers eyes. Malfoy's are NEVER jealous and even if they were, like in this situation, they would do a good job of covering it. Draco was good at reading and hiding emotions. His father had taught him that. Draco found it quite amusing that his father was jealous but thought better before he decided to put on a sneer. The rest of the way home Draco was pre-occupied with his thoughts.

He knew that his father defently wouldn't get the position that's obvious, but the Weaslette's father getting it was really a surprize. 'Hey this would mean that they won't be poor anymore.' Draco realized. 'There might be a chance for me and the Weaslette. Wait. What did i just say?? there's a chance ha no fucking way she's a muggle and mudblood lover.'

'But a good looking muggle and mudblood lover.' A little annoying voice said in his head. As much as Draco wanted to deny it, it was true Virginia Weasley had a killer body. Draco's thoughts kept wondering to the little kiss that he had given her. It was annoying him because he had never felt a kiss like that EVER. His sudden rush off thoughts that clouded his mind were stopped when the carrige had stopped infront the doors of the Malfoy Manor. The carrigae door magically opened making way for Draco first. Draco had taken the first step out when something thing clawed into is shoulder holding him back. He looked down at his shoulder to see a silver serpent head biting into his shoulder and then up to his fathers cold eyes.

"Something happened Draco what is it?!" He questioned with his cold eyes trying to bore through his son's expressions and eyes for answers. Draco simply put on a blank face and replyed.

"Nothing father I am just most a grieved that the Weasley Senior had gotten the position, I don't know how people can put him in such a important position and trust him."

Lucius lifted his staff and gave a nod and twitched his eyes once in curiuosity before pushing Draco forward to make way. Draco gave a sigh of relief and shuddered at what his father would do if he found out what he was accually pondering about. He was getting more and more anxious to see his mother as he wondered round the manor to find her.

'Where is she?' Draco thought as he popped his head in the writing room. 'Okay she wasn't in any of her favorite places this is....WAIT' Draco stopped in mid thought to fly up the stairs and rush into his room. He walked up to his desk and found a piece of green parchment with nothing written on it. Draco knew then it was his mother defently. She's the only one that puts a conselment charm on her notes. He was the only one who knew how to reverse it. He grabed his wand out of his pocket (he carried it around always). Draco tapped his wand on the parchment twice before whispering the spell 'uu fana' . Slowly the silver letters showed themselves to Draco. He was shocked at what she wrote:

Draco I'm so sorry I should not have left with out a formal farewell but you must understand I had to leave, your father is an evil man you should know and you should also know what things he could do to me if I had stayed any longer. I will contact you at 11:00 pm in the fireplace in your room I won't be late nor early, Don't worry my dear Draco I'm safe where I am everything will be okay. Remember I love you, I really did have to leave.

The paper burned up as soon as he was finished. Draco was in shock, he couldn't move. He was finaly alone, finally surrounded only by darkness. The one thing that mattered most to him had left him in the dark. How was he going to fend for himself until school started? Draco slowly closed his eyes tight. The world was over for him as he had once known it. He sighed and went over to his bed. He took a silk blanket and wrapped it around him self as he went to sit infront of the fireplace awaiting his mother. The ones he loved always ran away.

"Wasted it all just to

Watch you go

I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard."

Draco gave a huge sigh before reaching over to grab his golden pocket watch to see what time it was. As he reached for it on the bed side table he ended up slipping on his silk blanket and knocking some things along with the golden pocket watch. He sighed and crawled over to the pile to pick up the watch, he didn't care for the mess but something caught his eye. It was a little wooden box. First he thought that the pattern on the lid was carved in but they weren't they were carved out. On lid were two dragons. Their necks were intertwined and their faces were facing apart. One head was bowed and they other pointing up in power. Their wings were wrapped around there backs. There was a small orb of black ore held by both of the dragons front legs and a slighty bigger orb bellow held by one of their back legs. Their spare back legs were on the base of the lid as if they were standing. Their tails traced around the outside of the lid. (A/N: I hope that made sense I drew the box lid and i tried my best to describe it lol). All in all it was carved in great detail and must of taken lots of skill. The box was small enough to fit into the palm of Draco's hand. Draco was intranced by the two ore orbs. They had a glow to them, it defently had some magic surging through it.

"I see you've found the box I left for you."

Draco jumped in surprise. He once again slipped on the blanket but this time he fell on his back and hit his head on the carpet. He let out a moan and the woman like voice started to laugh. Draco got up and saw the head of his mother in the fireplace.

"Hello mother."

"Hello Draco dear."

"So what exactly is this box?" Draco said holding it up and staring at the orbs that now looked like they were on fire because they were reflecting the fire light.

"That box is very special and should not be lost, as you would of guessed there is magic in it and that's true. The wood that it's made out of is a very rare wood indeed it is that of a willow tree and those orbs have magic in them, very powerfull."His mother explained to him.

"Willow tree? But isn't that what they use to make wands with? and what's so special about these orbs?"Draco questioned. His mother just laughed.

"What mother why are you laughing, I think you've finally gone crazy did you want me to take you to St Mungo's."Draco ranted.

"No Draco I'm fine it's just that your so funny when you ask questions over and over again, you look too serious."She answered. Seeing Draco was getting irritated she decided on speaking again. "Oh and to answer your questions, yes Willow trees are used to make wands and the special thing about those orbs is that they can hold life."

"Hold life?"Draco questioned again.

"Yes that's what I said, they hold your life force, there was a time when your father gave me his life force but ofcourse he took it back when he became a Death Eater but I kept the box secretly to give to you when the time was right." Draco just kept nodding his head in consideration.

"Okay I'll keep it safe mother but on to other matters where exactly are you?" Draco said popping the box in his pocket.

"It's not where exactly I am it's where I will be heading, it will take me a day or two to get there I don't want to use my magic just in case your father decides to track me down."Narcissa started.

"Okay but where will you be heading?" Draco asked. Before she got to answer they both heard the footsteps outside Draco's bedroom door, they were faint but they knew it was Lucius.

"Okay Draco I have to go."

"Wait where will you be going?"

"Minister of Magic.....I'll send you an owl under their names Draco you can figure it out." And with that her face dissapeared from the fire. The footsteps grew closer. In one quick moment Draco chucked the blanket onto the bed and sat down on it. He took out his wand and whispered the words "Accio spell book" . A red book with black binds flew over to Draco, he flipped it open and started to read. His father opened the door of his bedroom and stuck his head in. Draco looked up as if he hadn't heard him coming and had been reading for a while. He kept a blank face as his father started to talk.

"In spite of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was part of your property."

"Draco I heard voices were you talking to anyone just a moment ago?"

Draco just shook his head as if he didn't know what he was talking about. His father looked around his room and saw the mess on the floor. Draco amidiatly knew that he was going to question him on it.

"I was reaching from my watch and ended up knocking a few things over. I'll get a house elf on it when I see one." Draco explained keeping his cool, his eyes just went back down on his book.

"Draco you would of found out that your mother has left the house and she is no longer a Malfoy in legal terms."Lucius pointed out. This time Draco couldn't help but let a flash of anger show in his eyes. He breathed out loudly and lay down his book.

"I figured when I saw that she had no rings on before we left to the Ministry Hall."

"It's for the best Draco, this year is your last before you come of age and you need the proper training, I do not know the where-a bouts of your mother but as if of tomorrow you will start the training with me, of course you will need to get your school books sometime this week aswell." He explained. Draco nodded in agreement but silently he knew he wouldn't like what would happen one bit.

"9am sharp be down for breakfast, no tardiness will be accepted."Lucius snapped.

"Yes father." His father walked out with out closing the door. Draco put down his book, crossed his legs, rested his head in the palm of his hands and lay his elbow on his leg. He sighed and thought about what his mother had said. "Minister of Magic.....I'll send you an owl under their names". It was pretty obvious she was going to the Weasel's for help but it was smart since Lucius wouldn't expect her going there, sometimes his pride and stubborness clouds his mind. Draco sighed again, grabbed the book and threw it across the room. He let out a angry groan and slipped the little box from his pocket and stared at it again. He opened it for the first time but nothing was in side. The padding inside was a triditional red velvet. He felt like chuking something else at the wall but decided not to thow the box. Draco put it in the draw with the magic lock, he didn't want his father finding it. He crawled under his blankets and tryed his best to sleep peacefully.
