Where the Lilies Bloom: Chapter 2
"Draco Malfoy, you are now allowed to see your parents. Keep in mind that we will be watching you. You are not to walk within three meters of the bars. Keep your hands behind you at all times. Do not mention anything of He-Who-Was-Destroyed or we will immediately escort you out. You may proceed." The guard opened the door.
Draco slowly walked into the dimly lit room, keeping his sweaty hands clamped tightly behind him.
"Father?"
A snarl answered back.
As he got closer, his eyesight cleared as he looked in horror at what his parents had become. His blue gray eyes widened as his mouth dropped to the floor.
Inside two separate stone prisons were his parents. His mother was crouched in the corner of one cell clawing at her face as if she was trying to peel off the skin. Her blonde hair was filthy and greasy. Her expensive dress robes that she was wearing when she was arrested were torn and bloody. Her pale face was riddled with dirt, scratches, and blood. Her face was sunken, in hunger; her skinny body was frail.
His father was in even worse shape. His proud tall posture was ruined by his slouch; body and face no different than his mothers. His proud silver hair was tangled and dirty. He was at the bars reaching out his bony fingers at Draco.
"My son has come. My son HAS come. Severus was here too!" His father giggled deliriously. "I love you, Draco! I love you, Narcissa!"
Draco's eardrums began ringing as his mother suddenly began to wail.
"NO! No, no, no!" She began to sob, her tears mixing with blood.
Draco watched, petrified, at the pitiful sights of his proud beautiful parents as they slowly went insane.
He came to his senses, when his father started to yell at him.
"You filthy traitor! I hate you, you worthless mudblood! I wish you were never born! You are a failure to this family! Get away from me! Get AWAY!"
Draco steeled himself. He could handle this. He would. He was used to this.
Then why did he feel like crying?
Draco clenched his hands tighter as he slowly backed out of the room.
When he got through the door, his cold eyes met the obsidian eyes of his teacher.
"Draco…Are you…alright?" Professor Snape asked hesitantly.
"I'm fine, Professor. Why wouldn't I be?" his cold voice revealing nothing of the storm of emotions inside.
He nodded his head slightly at his Potions Professor and walked out the door.
Draco jerked awake, sweat dripping down his face.
'What the hell was that?'
That had happened two weeks before school started. He had gotten a letter saying that he had important business in Azkaban.
He had gone ready to be arrested along with his parents. Where he belonged.
But when he had arrived, the Aurors beside him, they had taken him to see his parents. They had the nerve to bring him here to show him what they would do to him if they caught him doing anything that he wasn't supposed to be doing. They warned him that if he was caught harassing The Great Hero again, he would be sent to his parents.
After that he had been having nightmares every night since then.
He had given up hopes that his parents loved him long ago. But seeing them in Azkaban, his father telling him that he did love Draco… opened old and forgotten wounds.
Draco clutched at his chest, feeling his racing heartbeat slow.
He sighed and lay back down with his arm over his eyes.
His nightmares would fade with time.
Images of the past haunted him as he fell asleep once again.
A/N: Okay. Let me explain. Draco is an abuse victim. But he has a fierce sense of loyalty to his parents. Even with all the neglect and abuse, he still loves them and he thinks he has to be with them. He thinks that maybe then his parents would be proud of him for doing something right for once.
Poor Dracie! Anyway it's the ball next chapter!
