My son seems so sad lately.

I never could stand seeing him sad.

It must be the mother in me that makes me feel like that. It must be the fact that he is my son and I love him that makes me hate to see him sad.

He doesn't want to marry Pansy.

This much I know.

Still it is what is best.

He must marry a pureblood. And why not Pansy?

He has known her his entire life. She is the one person who can stand his ups and downs.

His mood swings.

But still he seems unhappy.

When he was dating the muggle he was happy. He told me so and I kept my promise to him.

I never told his father he was seeing a muggle.

Or that he thought he loved a muggle at that.

His father would have killed him and Draco knew that.

Still I wish he could be happy with Pansy.

Hell, I don't care if he marries a pureblood. It was always Lucius that cared.

It he's happy with a muggle, then I am happy.

That's all a mother wants after all, right? To see her child happy.

And he was happy with her.

He tells me though that he the least he can do after killing his father is honoring what he thought was best.

And maybe that would be true if only…..

No, I wont go there. I wont let him know that his father isn't dead. I cant.

I want what's best for him.

And him knowing isn't what's best.

Maybe one day I'll tell him.

But not now.
