Chapter 36

Voldemort raised his wand, and opened his mouth to speak, but Lucius suddenly grabbed Voldemort's arm and lowered his wand.

"What!" Voldemort snapped impatiently.

"They at least deserve to know why we want Colin," Lucius said calmly. Voldemort sighed, aggravated, but nodded.

"Fine," he spat, turning to Abbey and Draco.

"There was another reason I wanted you to marry Draco, Abbey, besides the fact that you were pureblood," Lucius began, turning and walking over to Colin, who had stopped wailing, but was still whimpering, "Last summer, Lord Voldemort asked a great task of me. He wanted me to find a certain girl, who was to marry my son. I went toextraordinary lengths to find her, and I was happy to find that she went to Hogwarts as did Draco. Well, obviously that girl was you.

The other reason you two married, was of your bloodline. Combined with Draco's, the offspring would have the genetics Lord Voldemort wanted."

"For what?" Abbey barked.

"I'll take it from here, Lucius," Voldemort said slowly, turning to Abbey and Draco. His thin lips curled into a sardonic smile. "Though I have defeated the limits of mortal life, I cannot be so arrogant as to think I will have the strength to reign forever."

Abbey snorted sarcastically. Voldemort shot her a venomous glare, but she didn't flinch.

"I need an heir, stupid girl, an heir! A boy I can teach, so he can take it up after I'm retired, so to speak. A son, if you will…" Voldemort grinned again, his red eyes glittering.

"He's not your son!" Draco exploded.

"Not yet," Voldemort hissed, "A simple memory charm will fix that. He'll never even know you were his parents. He will only know me as his father."

"So that's why you made us get married!" Draco snarled, "Not just about the stupid 'pureblood' shit! I never thought you would manipulate your own son…"

As Draco continued talking, Abbey saw him point his wand just to the left of Voldemort out of the corner of her eye. Now she understood why he was talking on and on…both Voldemort and Lucius glared at Draco, Lucius's arms crossed over his chest and Voldemort looking more and more lethal.

Abbey risked turning her head slightly in time to see a candlestick on a nearby tableglow blue for a moment, shake a little, and then go back to normal.

"You have never been the son I had hoped for!" Lucius sneered, walking away from Colin and back over towards Draco and Abbey, "You've disappointed me from the day you were born!"

"I wish I could say I was sorry," Draco replied mechanically, "But I'm not, Father. I'm not the only one who has been disappointing."

"You ungrateful--" Lucius bit, but Draco cut him off,

"Now now, Father, watch your language!"

"Do you want me to kill him, Lucius?" Voldemort asked flatly, advancing on Draco as well. Neither was paying any more attention to Abbey.

"No, I'll do it," Lucius replied, raising his wand.

Abbey edged away from the three, slowly at first, but then broke out into a run, her eyes locked on Colin.

Another cliffhanger, I know, but I'll try to update faster next time! Hope you liked it and thanks for reading!
