Draco Malfoy tried his hardest to keep tears from spilling as he sat by his mothers side. He needed to be strong for her. Though they both knew the end was near, Draco wanted to give his mother strength. The doctors had just told him they doubted she'd live through the night.
Damn aurors! Narcissa had thrown herself in front of her husband talking the brunt of the unforgivable curse meant to destroy Lucius. He wasn't even here now. His wife was going to die because she had tried to save him and the bastard wasn't even there! But that's the way it had always been. When his family needed him the most, Lucius was never there. Draco felt he should be used to it by now, but the pain of desertion never really left him.
"Draco." His mother's was soft and raspy. "I want you to listen hard to what I'm about to say."
Draco nodded.
"I want you to always listen to your father. Do whatever he tells you."
"No!" Draco's scream ripped across the room. "Why would I listen to an idiot who's not even here to see his wife die? He doesn't care about me. He never will. Why should I give a rats ass about him?"
"Because I asked you to." His mother replied softly. "Please promise me you'll listen to him. He may not always be here, but he has your best interests at heart."
"Alright." Draco said in a whisper. "For you." As he leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, Narcissa took her last breath.
In the hall outside the room a single tear ran down Hermione's cheek.
A/N Sorry its so short, but I feel it's more dramatic this way. Please review. New chapter will be up soon, promise.
