Lucius rested for awhile, and then woke with his arm now in an open space. She'd woken up, she may have been downstairs for all he knew. So he got up and decided to prepare for the day.
"Good morning Draco" said Daffodil.
"Some mail came for you" said Draco giving Daffodil the letter.
"I thought you were staying at your aunts'" said Daffodil taking the letter.
"She was afraid to come over" said Draco.
"Oh" said Daffodil almost forgetting how much control Lucius had always had around others.
"Mum died last night" said Draco.
"Well there is one thing I can assure you" said Daffodil.
"She wasn't weak though, they said she'd be fine…but someone used a killing curse on her" said Draco.
"It wasn't your father though" said Daffodil.
"How would you know" asked Draco.
"I spent the entire night with him…it wasn't exactly pleasant" said Daffodil.
"I know, I kind of heard" said Draco.
"You did" asked Daffodil looking at Draco in shock.
"It was just mainly the thumping, and the fact that my ceiling had dust falling" said Draco.
"I'm so sorry" said Daffodil.
"Well knowing my father's schedule…it won't last much longer" said Draco.
"I don't exactly know your father's schedule" said Daffodil.
"On Thursdays he complains about his life, and gets drunk…so stay away from him on Thursday" said Draco.
"Are you sure you aren't exaggerating Draco? I mean…every Thursday" asked Daffodil.
"Every Thursday" said Draco.
"Morning" said Lucius coming into kitchen.
"Morning" said Daffodil setting Draco's plate on the table in front of him.
"Morning Draco" said Lucius.
Draco nodded enjoying the food Daffodil had made him.
"I don't usually eat in the mornings" said Lucius.
"I realized that" said Daffodil.
Draco was staring up at the ceiling, and Daffodil looked upward at a house elf hanging by his cloth from a chandelier.
"Um...Lucius, would that be your house elf" asked Daffodil.
"Oh, I thought the owl dropped him in the forest" said Lucius.
"Thursday" said Draco quietly.
"Something to say Draco" asked Lucius.
"The house elf came back in the morning on Thursday after falling from your owl, and when he got back you shot him up there on one of your drunk rants about life" said Draco.
"Oh really" said Lucius his hand on his wand.
"Now, now...let's not kill each other, please Lucius" said Daffodil after Draco had stood up from the table.
Lucius' eyes looked away from Daffodil's, and they went to Draco.
"If you do need anything, I'll be in my office" hissed Lucius then walking out of the room.
"Now was that really necessary" asked Daffodil.
"He killed my mother" said Draco.
"Draco, you can't be sure of that" said Daffodil.
"My mother was killed by him" said Draco.
A small cry came from Daffodil, but it wasn't about what Draco had just said.
"What's wrong" asked Lucius appearing in the room.
"It's nothing, nothing at all" said Daffodil hurrying out of the room.
Lucius picked up the letter from the counter, and skimmed through it.
"Go and comfory her, I'll be in...in a moment" said Lucius.
Draco got up, and headed out the room. Lucius sat down in one of the kitchen chairs, and pointed his wand up and suddenly the house elf fell.
"Great, your dead too" said Lucius rolling his eyes.
The Letter
Dear Ms. Flower or as of recent Mrs. Malfoy,
As of today Ivory L. Black shall remain in custody of Severus Snape, as request of one of the Order members. Great surprise may bring to you that it was not Severus Snape, however this person was Mr. Moody. We trust his judgement on what is best for this young girl, she will not visit. Ivory L. Black is only the age of seventeen therefore until she has reached the age of eighteen on December 5th. She shall not come near or into Malfoy Manor, and you shall not be able to be anywhere near the residence of Ivory L. Black. Ivory L. Black, Luna Lovegood, and Regulus Black II are the three you are not allowed to be near.
All others such as, Cygnus S. Snape and Evan S. Black are both able for visitation. As they are of the same residence.
Hoping you are well, Mathalda Hopkin
"I've always hated these kind of letters" said Lucius tossing the letter into the fireplace.
"What" asked Draco.
"I recieved one of these from Hopkin before, about Adeline of course" said Lucius.
"She won't be here" said Daffodil.
"Ivory's bent more rules then I can possibly count, there's nothing that could possibly keep her away..." said Draco.
Lucius looked over at Draco.
"Because her mother's here, there's a lot of people here" said Draco.
"That's low, extremely low...Moody striking you at your weakest point" said Lucius.
All Daffodil could recall was the discussion at the Order meeting.
"Daffodil doesn't need to be sent in, I could get it out of Lucius...he's not that loyal to anything" said Mad Eye.
"Narcissa was a spy for us, and sending Daffodil in would be the perfect oppurtunity" said Remus.
"She'll be dead soon, just book Lucius now" said Mad Eye.
"Daffodil can get Lucius to do many things, everyone in this room besides you Mad Eye could say that Daffodil herself has convinced him to do some form of apology" said Remus.
"I agree" said Arthur.
"Then I believe it's settled" said Remus.
Daffodil had been walking off when Mad Eye stopped her.
"If you go through with this Daffodil, there will be grave consequences for you" said Mad Eye.
"I'm aware of that" said Daffodil.
"Are" asked Mad Eye.
"Daffodil" said Lucius.
"Yes" said Daffodil.
"Are you alright" asked Lucius.
