Lucius didn't sleep well that night. He couldn't stop thinking about Narcissa. Although theirs was a marriage of connections it had worked, and they had loved each other as much as might have been expected. The morning couldn't have come soon enough for Lucius but yet in some ways he wished it could come later. Lucius always kept his promises and he had no intention of breaking this one even though it broke him to do it. As soon as he was dressed, he flooed his old nurse to watch Draco while he was out. He gave himself a mental reminder to hire Draco a nanny for he couldn't care for Draco full-time, he had work.
He walked into the Department for Magical Law Enforcement. He had an appointment with a notorious lawyer, Antarus Viturelli, He had a reputation for being ruthless and hard-hearted and he was just the lawyer Lucius needed.
"Morning Sir"
"Antarus, I need you to make sure that Narcissa never comes near me or Draco again and I want you to get us divorced."
"Rather brisk and to the point Mr Malfoy, I'll see what I can do for."
"I'm telling you now fail to do this and you will be punished" With those words he ran his fingers down his wand. "However if you manage to do this and do it quickly I shall see to it that you are rewarded" he flicked his wand and a bag bulging with galleons appeared on the table. Antarus reached out greedily.
"Not now Antarus, After you do this."
"Well, Mr Malfoy, I shall make this case a priority then, I can have the divorce papers ready in two weeks and to ensure Narcissa never comes near you or Mister Draco, hmmm six weeks maybe."
"Good, I shall hold you to that." With that Lucius left.
As Lucius left the building he bumped into Narcissa.
"Lucius! I thought you'd be here. Don't do it to me Lucius. I love you and I know you love me. We can just pretend nothing ever happened. Everything can be back to normal."
"You're too late Cis-Narcissa. Everything will be done in a few weeks." Lucius took pleasure at seeing her pain, at seeing that she was hurting as bad as him, if not more, he had Draco after all. Tears ran done Narcissa's cheeks.
"Lucius. Please" But Lucius just turned away. He couldn't see her, it was just too painful. And he knew everything was his fault. He just couldn't back down. He always kept his word even when it hurt so damn much. But his duty as a Malfoy and a pureblood came first. It would always come first.
...
...
Lucius walked in through the front door.
"DADDY!" A small blond boy launched himself at Lucius. "I missed you Daddy!"
"I missed you too dragon."
"When's Mummy coming home?" Lucius frowned.
"I told you yesterday. Mummy's not coming home."
"Oh" Draco looked sad. Lucius hated himself even more for hurting his son. But he couldn't back down. He was a Malfoy and Malfoys never backed down.
...
...
"Aunt Cissa?"
"Yes, Dora?"
"My Hogwarts letter came today. I'm going to Hogwarts! I hope I'm in Gryffindor. Or Hufflepuff. I wouldn't want to be in Ravenclaw. There all boring nerds. And I would hate to be in Slytherin. It's full of horrible pure bloods who hex people. That's what dad said anyway." Narcissa tried to hide the tears in her eyes. Lucius hadn't been horrible. At least not until he found out she was a muggle-born. And Draco was sure to be a Slytherin too. What if he turned out to be a horrible bully? What if Narcissa never found out what house he was in? She turned away blinking furiously.
"That's wonderful , Dora. Can you just leave a second please? I need to get ready."
"Course Aunt Cissa." As soon as Dora had left the room she locked the door and allowed the tears to fall.
...
...
"Where's your mum?"
"She's gone Greg."
"Where?"
"I don't know but I already told you this yesterday."
"Oh"
"Gregory, your parents here. Draco come say goodbye." Lucius called from the house. The two boys ran into the house. As soon as the Goyles were gone, Draco turned to his father with an accusatory glare.
"Why's Greg got a mum?"
"Everyone has a mum Draco"
"Why's Greg's mum still live with them?"
"Well, I'll explain when you're older Draco. At the moment you wouldn't understand.
"How much older?"
"When I think you're ready." But Lucius didn't know if Draco would ever be ready to hear that Lucius was the only reason Draco's mother had left. Lucius certainly wasn't ever going to be ready to explain.
What do you think? Any good? Review and tell me please. The more reviews the sooner the next chapter will go up.
