Draco gasped in horror and instinctively tried to shrink away.
"W-what are you doing here?" He asked, his voice barely above a terrified whisper, "How did- how did you get in?" Lucius' lip curled unpleasantly,
"Tut tut Draco. So many questions. Don't I even get a 'Good evening' or a 'How are you'?" He shook his head, "Really Draco, where are your manners? I though I had taught you better than that." He met his son directly in the eyes, "Perhaps a review might be in order?" Draco's grey eyes widened and he drew back.
"N-no! I'm sorry!" Lucius smirked and put a hand up to Draco's face, caressing it lightly,
"That's my good Dragon." He murmured, "I knew you wouldn't forget." The little boy bit down hard on his lower lip, willing himself not to push that hand away, knowing that if he did that, it would make whatever was going to happen a whole lot worse.
"What are you doing here?" He asked again. Lucius narrowed his eyes, but managed to control whatever anger was waiting to be let loose,
"I missed you, little Dragon." He replied silkily, his nails biting into Draco's cheek, "I missed you so much." Draco paled. He didn't like his father's tone. It reminded him of…of things he'd rather forget about. All instincts told him to shout for help, to call for Izzy, but he was too scared of what would happen to him if he did…
"La mauvaise conduite entraîne la discipline, mon petit Dragon." Lucius hissed into his son's ear, "La discipline entraîne la peur. La peur entraîne le respect. Fini, Draco." Draco licked his lips and looked down,
"Donc la peur…est la respect." He whispered in monotone,
"Tres bien." Lucius smirked, "You haven't forgotten." Draco glared up at his father, but wisely kept his mouth shut. "I had feared that they would be letting you get away with far too much and you would forget your place." He pinched Draco's cheek, the silver signet ring cutting into his skin, "I do hope they keep you in check."
"They don't hit me, if that's what you mean." The boy replied, a slight edge to his voice that made Lucius pinch harder,
"They ought to. You're becoming impudent, Draco. And we can't have that, can we?" He growled, his tone laced with a silent threat.
"They're kind to me!" Draco cried out, suddenly defensive of his new friends, "They don't hit me…or lock me up! They're nice to me! Not like you! You don't care about me!" In a flash, the serpent head of his father's cane was right up close to Draco's face. The little boy flinched violently and shied away from it, but Lucius grabbed his thin shoulder, forcing him to stay where he was as he moved the cane closer and closer to his son's face, making Draco whimper with fear and his breathing to quicken and become panicked,
"Don't you dare talk to me like that!" Lucius snarled, pressing the snake into Draco's cheek, the boy closed his eyes and tried to ignore that horrible, metallic feeling of the silver against his skin.
But he couldn't.
As Lucius pressed it harder and harder against him, Draco's breathing became more laboured, his small body visibly trembling,
"You don't like that do you?" Lucius sneered, "I warned you about your complacency, didn't I? La mauvaise conduite entraîne la discipline. Comprenez ?" Draco, too scared to speak, merely nodded, "Apologise!"
"Je…Je suis desole, Papa…" The little boy whimpered, "Sil vous plais…"
"Bien." Lucius removed the cane from Draco, but kept his grip on his shoulder equally tight, keeping him in his place. "I wouldn't bother telling anybody about this, by the way." He stated silkily, "I promise you, you'll regret it. Besides, nobody will believe you. Is that clear?"
"Y-yes… Of course, Papa."
"Good boy." Lucius released him and made to leave, but before he did, he turned to his son, who watched him warily, a hand held gingerly up to his cheek, "I'm sure we'll see each other again soon. Very soon." Leaving Draco alone, crying at the kitchen table.
A/N: Hiya! YAY! Finally got GoF DVD, was v. dissapointed that there was no Draco in deleted scenes...ah well, you can't have everything. At least Snape was in there.
Please stop asking when Draco will turn back, I promise soo, but not yet! Be patient!
