Hi guys! I'm soooooooooo sorry I took so long to update. I was hoping to upload chapters2 & 3 together but…. Chap. 3 is not yet complete.

Chapter Two

Prince Draco woke up violently. Well, not quite. His heart was

pounding violently, the blood in his ears was rushing and his

breathing was erratic but Draco's mind was blank.

He'd just woken up from this dream. Well, dream was an

interesting word to use because it was so vivid.

'It's worse this time'. Draco thought to himself. For the past month

or so, Draco had been having these nocturnal assaults while he was

asleep. First, it was a feeling, one he'd never experienced before so

he didn't know what it was. It was just out of his grasp, he felt

himself reaching for it… night after night, he felt himself drifting

closer to it. Finally it came to him. It was a feeling of utter

emptiness and darkness and of the most overwhelming sadness

he'd ever felt. But tonight, tonight he'd been so overwhelmed, he'd

awoken crying, screaming…He'd been so overcome with fear and

grief and longing that it physically pained him. He'd woken up

panting, with tears streaming down his face. And for the love of

Sam he couldn't understand why. Draco never cried. Not since his

mother died when he was 14. And Draco was almost 21 now. And

even then it was only for a few hours…a day at the most. He'd

never been particularly close to his mother. She was somewhat

distant from her children. He never saw her much. She never had

the time to do the things Draco thought normal mothers did with

their children. If anything Draco's nana Severus Snape was more

of a mother to him than Narcissa Malfoy could ever hope to be.

Don't misunderstand, this thought was not meant to be said in

spite. It was just that Narcissa lacked the patience and gentleness

required to ever be "mother material" How the king and queen

had managed to produce so many offspring was beyond Draco's

understanding. Draco shook his head. His thoughts had strayed

from this mysterious feeling to thoughts of his parents' procreation

with surprising ease. And during that time, Draco's eyelids had

begun to droop. And so, rather than dwell on his confuzzling

(confusing) feelings and emotions, Draco succumbed to the

"never-looked-so good-before darkness.

Author's note: Nana like a nanny. Despite the fact that Draco is 21, he does have younger siblings so his nana would be their nana also.

You all can see where I'm going with this right? I do realize nobody has had any actual dialogue yet but there is nobody for them to have a conversation with anyway.

ANYWAY, THANKS TO THOSE WHO REVIEWED.

PLEASE REVIEW GUYS. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!
