I'm am very, very sorry about the delay in this chapter and my other stories. Usually I will be better at updating, but I was ill and had a lot of homework. I will try and keep updating every week, so next SUNDAY, hopefully. Review please, and maybe I'll put the chapter up early.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, unfortunately

An owl through into the Malfoy dining room, where Lucius and Draco were eating breakfast. Lucius opened the letter and gave it a quick glance before folding it up and tucking it into his robe. He'd look at it later, when Draco wasn't around.

Narcissa opened the letter once more. Reading the tear-stained parchment.

Dear Narcissa

Enclosed are documents which will need to be signed for you and Lucius to get divorced. Also enclosed are documents giving up your rights as Draco's mother, ensuring that you can never see him or Lucius again. As you know Lucius rather well, I am sure you can imagine the consequences if you fail to sign and return the documents within two weeks.

Narcissa didn't want to sign. She really didn't. But there wasn't a choice. She had seen Lucius during the war, she had seen the awful things he did to those who disobeyed his wishes. And if Lucius wanted her to sign, then he would get her to eventually, or kill her. Lucius always got his own way in the end. Always.

Lucius read the letter in his study.

Dear Lucius

Enclosed are the divorce documents and documents saying you are prepared to be Draco's sole guardian. I have sent the necessary documents to Narcissa and I am sure she will sign rather quickly.

There was also a large wad of papers in the envelope. Before he changed his mind Lucius started signing where necessary. He was a Malfoy. And Malfoys never backed down. Even if they really, really wanted to. It was best for Draco to never mix with mudbloods. He sighed. If Narcissa had never told him, this would have never happened. He wished it hadn't. With all his might. If he had a time turner, he would use it. Despite all appearances he had loved Narcissa. At least he had Draco though.

Draco sat on his bed with his toy dragon.

"Do you know where Mummy is, mister dragon?" The dragon was silent.

"You've got wings, you could go and fly and ask Mummy to come back" The dragon just sat there.

"Please"

"C'mon mister dragon, answer me." The dragon still didn't answer.

"You're useless! I'm going to ask Daddy! He'll get Mummy back." Draco glared at the dragon and stomped out of the room into his fathers' study.

"Daddy?" Draco whined.

"What Draco?"

"I want Mummy."

"I've told you, Mummy's gone and not coming back."

"But you're a wizard, you can magic her back." Then Lucius did something he would forever regret.

"Mummy's dead, Draco"

"What?" Tears welled up in Draco's eyes.

"She's dead, that's why she's not coming back." Lucius hated himself. But he couldn't take back what he had said. And Draco was never going to see Narcissa again. He'd make sure of it. So maybe it was better for her to be dead.

Okay, so after this I'm going to skip to when Draco is 11. I've got a few ideas so the story will get a bit better and the chapters should hopefully be a lot more exciting. Review please.
