A/N: No, still don't own them. Own everything else though.

Naxxus sat watching the players zooming around in the air, and fought the urge to nod off.
Though an exciting match so far, Naxxus had slept very badly.
She yawned into her gloved hand.
She retreated into the inner part of her mind, searching for pieces of a dream, that had woke her early, and had left her feeling drained.
This clearly, would not do. Especially, not in present company. No, it would not do at all.
She heard a shrill whistle blast, looked up, and saw a small blonde haired boy in silver and green, Slytherin colours, streak by.
Naxxus knew a Malfoy when she saw them, even if they were high up, and they were streaking passed her on a broom.
Oh yes, she knew who the boy was, even before Tobias felt the need to tell her.
"Look at the boy! Simply splendid! He's Dra-"
"I know who he is, Tobias." Naxxus hissed.
Tobias shot her a curious look and simply nodded.
"Of course, Madame."
Naxxus turned to study him, but he had moved, and the man seated next to him, came into her full view.
She caught her breathe, struggled to maintain her rigid composure, and recovered quickly.
Lucius Malfoy sat watching the match, in a cold, bored sort of way. He looked as if he would have preferred to be somehwhere else, anywhere else, other then where he actually was. His black leather gloved hands were resting atop the silver snake headed walking stick, and the always present sneer, was fixed upon his pale face.
Pale, but handsome, in a vaguely evil and cold way. And the eyes, oh the eyes, they were steel grey pools of ice.
He tilted his head towards the young woman on his left side, his long silvery blonde hair brushed against her cheek, she did not move to push it away, and a slow smile spread acrossed the pale face.
He patted her small hand gently with his gloved one, and turned back to watch as his son was hit by a Bludger.
Any other father would have cringed at their son being hurt in some way, but Lucius Malfoy, far from being just any ordinary father, looked more embarassed by it, wanting only to say that the boy was not his.
A true Malfoy reaction, indeed.
Naxxus glanced at the silver ring on the woman's left hand. The Malfoy family crest, set atop black onyx, and surrounded by emeralds. Most assuredly, a priceless heirloom, that had never made it's appearance on any other hand, but that of this woman.
And, the way it looked, it had never been worn by Narcissa Black, at all.
The woman leaned forward a bit, and smiled at Naxxus, she sat back, and leaned in against Lucius. He patted her hand once more, and kissed her litely on the forehead.
She was officially, a Malfoy now, and as far as Naxxus could tell, she seemed to be very pleased by this. As if, she thought coldly, being married to a Malfoy, and that one, being Lucius, was anything to be pleased about.
Naxxus shook her head, mumbled, and turned back to watch the remainder of the match.
She heard Tobias speaking to Malfoy, but paid it little attention.
That is, until she heard her own name upon the lips of Lucius Malfoy.
He was inquiring about when Naxxus Deoria would arrive at the Manor, and if and when he arrived, would Tobias be coming with him.
Naxxus coughed slightly, but said nothing.
Tobias glanced briefly at her, and turned to look at Lucius.
"Why, I don't believe I have had the pleasure of introducing my lovely companion, have I, Lucius?"
Malfoy turned a bit, narrowed his eyes at her, and looked away again. When he finally chose to speak, all turned to look at him...
...including, Naxxus.
"No Tobias, you have not." he replied coolly.
Tobias chuckled.
"Well, with this match being so exciting, I nearly forgot!" he pulled Naxxus into view, "Ah yes then, it is my pleasure to introduce you to Madame Deoria."
Malfoy grunted softly at this.
"I see, he sends his wife in his absence then?"
Naxxus all but laughed aloud at this.
Tobias eyes Lucius merrily.
"Merlin's beard!" he laughed
Lucius, however, did not find it at all amusing. The stony expression held this to be very evident, and the sneer appeared with lightning speed.
"What, is so amusing, Tobias?"
"My dear Lucius! She is not his wife, in fact, there is not a wife to speak of!"
Eliah giggled softly at her husband's side. He glared slightly at her.
"Hush." he commanded.
Eliah fell silent at the cold command, but the amusement was written all over her face.
Naxxus grinned.
"I am Naxxus Deoria, Mr. Malfoy."
Lucius turned, looked around Tobias, and stared at her.
It was an evil stare.
And, years later, she would still recall that very same stare, those very same steel grey eyes, staring into hers...eyes that would plead for mercy, and knowing that it would not come.
Naxxus shivered as the thought passed into nothingness.
How could she know that? How could she know, that he would beg and plead for his life, and for those of his wife and son...the lives she would hold in her hands many years from now?
How could she know?
She shook her head to rid the thoughts from her mind. She could feel him staring at her, and resisted the urge to tell him where to get off.
She mused on this for a moment longer, and when she turned to look at him finally, it was as if the whole world swayed and pitched around her. She stared into his eyes, and saw the future there...but, it was not a future she wanted to see.
She looked from him to Eliah, who sat close to him, pointing out his son, and commenting on the match. And, almost at once, the world pitched yet again, and she saw what she did not wish to see...
...Deorum...
And held within those weeping walls of blood, was the one who sat staring at her, with his cold, piercing grey eyes.
She shivered restlessly.
Azkaban could not, and did not break, this vile man...
But in that hideous future that she saw in the eyes of Lucius Malfoy, and that surrounded Eliah Malfoy, was that very thing that Azkaban could not do..
In Deorum...
...Lucius Malfoy would die...
Naxxus knew that when that came to pass, the Dark Vow would be completely fulfilled...
Lucius would not go alone...
...bound for eternity...husband and wife...
Eliah, would die, as well...
Naxxus promptly fainted.
