Draco's personality changed drastically after his father's death. He cried a lot at home with his family but tried not to cry at school. He saw it as weak. So when he was at school, he tried to use his pain in harmful ways towards other people.
Months after Lucius's death, Draco started doing harmful pranks on his classmates at school which got him suspended multiple times. Before his first suspension, he was forced to have a sit down with the school counselor, Mrs. Greene.
"Hello Draco." Mrs. Greene asked the boy. "How are you today?"
"I'm great!" Draco replied with a malicious laugh and sneered at the lady. "How do you think I'm doing?"
"I know it has been hard without your father but it has been almost three months. You should be over it by now." Mrs. Green said somewhat harshly.
"You expect me to just forget about my Dad?" Draco said with sad, curious eyes.
"Yes, I do. My father left when I was your age and look at me now. I'm doing fine." The lady answered.
"No wonder he left." Draco snorted.
"What was that?" The counselor asked.
"No wonder he left!" Draco yelled. "You're an ugly old hag! You know nothing!"
"Draco Malfoy, there is no need for name calling!" She raised her voice. "If I know nothing, then please, inform me."
"You want the truth, fine! I thought people like you were okay until I today." Draco spat. Why should I be okay with my father being killed right in front of me? It hasn't even been three months yet!"
"Your father did not die in front of you, stop with the lying. You are almost seven years old," Mrs. Green paused for a chuckle, "grow up."
Draco stood up and pushed his chair down and slammed his fists on her desk. "Stupid, bloody woman! He was murdered. I wish it were you instead of him! He deserved to live and you don't. Me, my family and my friends all have magic and when I get old maybe I should came back for you. You can feel some of the pain I have!"
Draco pushed all the stuff off of her desk and ran out of her office and outside. He walked home slowly, hoping that someone would come out of the bushes and kidnap him again so he could kill them. But it never happened. His home was now with Harry and that was the only thing good that has happened to him. He had a brother.
Mrs. Greene called the number on Draco's information sheet and got ahold of Remus. After explaining the situation, Remus handed the phone to Narcissa with a worried face.
"I'm going to the school to obliviate her before she tells anyone else." He whispered to her.
He left the house and almost ran right into Draco crying as he was walking up the path to the home. Remus ran to him and hugged him tight.
"I'll be back soon." Remus said and let go.
Draco watched as he apparated away and went up the stairs to the house.
Everything turned out fine after that incident. Mrs. Greene's memories of the talk with Draco were erased. She wasn't sure why but whenever she saw Draco, fear striked and she went in the opposite direction.
Draco ended up being punished for a very long time which he didn't care. He never stopped doing pranks in class but they were a little less harmful. His grades in school decreased and he backlashed at the teacher often.
Now, a little over two years after the death (February, 1988), Draco's pain was still as strong as when his father hit the floor. Narcissa was slowly healing will the help of her family and friends, mostly Remus. But everyone soon realized that Draco would probably never be close to being the same loving kid that he used to be without his other parent.
Remus and Draco started having small talks which seemed to help Draco. He eventually stopped the pranks at school and just stopped talking while he was there. He looked to Remus for many things and he knew that Remus was not trying to replace his Dad. So, he trusted him.
Narcissa noticed that the first thing that Draco would do when he got home was run to Remus and it made her heart warm.
She soon realized that she was falling in love with Remus and it caused her pain because of Lucius. She was confused with her new feelings and decided it was time to leave. She truly didn't want to leave but she didn't know what else to do. If she acted on her feelings, Draco would never forgive her and it would ruin his relationship with Remus.
She searched for Draco and found him in Harry's room playing. "Draco, we need to talk."
Draco left the room and followed Narcissa to an empty sitting room.
"Draco, it's time we leave." Narcissa said.
"What do you mean?" Draco asked. He thought he knew what she meant but he hoped that he was wrong.
"We are going home." She said quietly as a year fell from her face.
"This is my home, now." Anger boiled up inside him and he screamed, "I'm not leaving!"
Draco ran away as fast as he could back up to Harry's room.
"Harry," he said.
"What is it, Draco?" Harry answered with worry.
"My mom wants us to leave and go back to my old home." Draco said.
"No! You don't want to, right?" Harry asked with sadness.
"Of course I don't! This is my home." Draco said with tears rolling down his face.
"I know what to do." Harry said and got up off the floor. "Come help me."
The both went to the trunk and pushed it in front of the door. Then they got everything else they could push or carry and put in front of the door.
"They won't be able to get in without blasting the door. And they wouldn't do that because it could hurt us." Harry said.
"How did you know to do that?" Draco asked.
"Muggle movies." Harry laughed.
Outside the door, Narcissa was crying as she tried to get it opened. Remus and Sirius heard the noise and came running to them.
"What's going on?" Sirius asked.
Draco and Harry have barricaded themselves in the room.
"Why would they do that?" Remus asked, looking into her eyes.
Narcissa could see the worry in his eyes and looked away quickly. "I-I don't know."
"Starry." Sirius said.
Starry appeared and smiled up to her master.
"Yes, Master Sirius." She said cheerfully.
Sirius rolled his eyes at the word, 'master' but ignored it this time. "Could you apparate in the room and see what's going on, please?"
Starry nodded and apparated into the room.
"Masters Harry and Draco. What is wrong?" Starry asked.
"My Mum wants us to go back to our old house and I don't want to leave." Draco said.
"Starry, can you tell them that we'll come out when they say that Draco San stay?" Harry asked.
Starry nodded and apparated back to the adults.
"Master Harry asked me to tell you that they will come out when you say that Draco can stay." Starry said.
"What do you mean stay?" Sirius asked. "Where is he going?"
"Master Draco told Starry that his Mum wants them to go back to their old house." Starry answered.
"What?" Remus asked Narcissa.
Narcissa started crying. "We have stayed her t-too long. We must leave."
"You guys don't have to leave! This is your home now, too. Right, Sirius?" Remus said.
"Of course!" Sirius answered.
Narcissa ran down the hall and Renus followed and Sirius asked Starry to get the boys out of the room.
Down the hall, Remus caught up to Narcissa. He stopped her from running.
"What's wrong?" Remus asked.
"Remus, I'm falling in love with you." She said quietly and turned away.
"What?"
She turned back around quickly and said, "I'm falling in love with you!"
Remus's jaw dropped and quickly shut it. He didn't know what to say so he kept quiet. He's had feelings for her for a while now but decided to never act on them.
"We have to leave!" Narcissa cried.
Starry quickly got the boys out of the room and Sirius hugged them both.
"Draco, I know you don't want to leave but this is not how you should have handled this. Sirius said. You could have talked to your Mum about this instead of running from her. She's down the hall crying. And Harry, you need to be a good friend. You don't do that by barricading yourselves."
"He's my brother and I'm not letting him leave." Harry said.
Sirius smiled and shook his head knowing that he would have done the same thing when he was younger.
"Draco, go talk to your Mum." Sirius said.
"Fine." Draco said and walked down the hallway to find her.
He found her a minute after and stopped in his tracks.
His Mum was kissing Remus.
