The heavy metal door slowly slid shut behind him.

Draco looked at the pitiful figure in front of him.

"Who's there?" the man whispered from the shadows.

Draco slowly stepped into the light, showing his face to his father after 16 long years.

Lucius grunted and continued to carve letters on the cold, damp stone floors of Azkaban.

"What are you doing here? Came to see me suffer?"

"I came to see if the years you've spent here have changed your mind about things. If you have already repented."

"What's there to repent?" Lucius looked up and met the eyes of his son. "Huh? Tell me. All I know is the son I've cared for almost my whole life stabbed me in the back --- all because of a mudblood whore."

"It seems that you haven't changed a bit," said Draco icily, turning around.

"I'm still talking to you."

"You don't have the right to order me around." He said, his hand reaching for the door.

"I have, since I'm still your father."

"Funny. I don't remember having a father."

Draco walked a few feet before collapsing. He buried his face in his hand, his body shaking.

Lucius leaned back and stared at the cobwebs above him. He had seen him, after years in this hellhole.

He looked more like his mother.

He dropped the spoon he'd been holding onto, eyes filling up with tears.

Althea looked at the pastures filled with cattle as the Hogwarts Express rushed past them. She looked at the girl in front of her.

Sydney sat opposite her, staring at her hand, playing with it absentmindedly.

She had just received news from a relative. His father had a stroke and right now is in critical condition. Althea offered to accompany the poor girl in her visit.

"I shouldn't have left him. I should have insisted to stay with him—maybe if I had stayed, this would never have happened." Sydney choked out, tears spilling from her warm brown eyes.

Althea looked the girl with pity.

They had been friends for almost 2 years now. Ever since the day Sydney got sorted. She had always struck Althea as a strong-minded girl. She was also very secretive; whatever problem she had inside of her, she always kept it to herself.

This made Althea and Deryk worry to death about her, fearing that maybe one day she may lose control of it and, end up breaking down to nothing.

This has been the first time Althea saw Sydney bare her emotion to somebody.

"Oh, honey! Don't blame yourself." said Althea. She transferred to the seat beside her friend and wrapped her arms around Sydney's shaking body. "It's not your fault."

"No, you don't understand. Since mommy died I was the one who had taken charge of the task of taking care of my father. He had been sick when I was about to leave for my second year in Hogwarts. He made it look that he was getting better so that I may not worry that much about him during the school year. I left him, Thea! I should have been there when he needed me the most." cried Sydney. She buried her face on her friend's shoulder.

"SShhh.. it's ok. Everything's going to turn out fine."
