Lucius Malfoy bowed to his lord and smiled, "I will bring the boy." He spoke breaking the cold silence with his crisp words. The dark lord nodded curtly and turned with a flourish. Narcissa began to cry she had always know deep down that Lucius loved himself more than their son, Draco. It was a very low thing to do, trading his life for his child. It was murder. Cold-blooded murder. Lucius spoke again "Come." It was more of a command. If only Narcissa had the courage to stand up to her husband and save her childs life... But no, Narcissa quietly followed him and the next day came along.

Narcissa stood over her sons body and staring her face expressionless but inside she was feeling lost and alone. How could he murder his son? It was the worst thing anyone could do... If only she could let out her emotions... They were trapped inside her, unable to escape. And then she thought again and asked herself if she would herslef over her son and she knew that she would never, never be able to murder her own flessh and blood.

Would you chose yourself over your children?
