If you truly love someone, you will do what's best for them. even if it means not loving them anymore.
"Tell me, Lucius; are you happy to serve me?" His red eyes glinted behind his hood, never leaving my face.
"Of course, My Lord; I am forever loyal to your cause."
"Indeed."
All was silent.
He spoke again. "How far are you willing to go, Lucius?"
I gulped. "As far as it takes, my Lord."
He nodded.
"I am worried, that you have become soft, Lucius. And I think you and I both know the culprit."
I saw his red eyes dart to the side and heard the door creak open, I felt my heart skip a beat.
Two other death eaters drug in Narcissa, kicking and screaming.
"Get off of me! Let me go! Lucius! Lucius!" She screamed and screamed. I couldn't bare it.
"My Lord! Please stop!" I begged.
I felt a hard tug on my hair as my head was pulled back, Voldemort's face was inches from mine.
"I will ask you once more. How far are you willing to go?"
My mouth went dry.
"Answer me!" I felt his long nails digging into my scalp.
"As far as it takes! I swear!"
He released me and backed into the shadows, his red eyes still gleaming.
"Then prove it." He hissed.
I turned to Cissa.
"Lucius…What are you doing?" She began to back away.
"I'm sorry, Cissa…I'm so sorry." I began to raise my hand.
"Lucius...Please..."
"Avada kedavra."
I saw the light fade from her eyes as she fell back to the Earth.
I woke with a start, looking around the common room, franticly. Much to my relief, Cissa was curled up next to me, fast asleep. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.
"It's just a night-mare, Lucius…Just a night mare." I whispered. But I knew that wasn't true; it was far from a simple night mare, it was a warning. I was trailing down a dark and lonely path, a path that definetly didn't include Cissa.
A stern voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Narcissa, you should be in bed by now. Come, I'll be along in a minute." Andromeda smiled at her younger sister, despite her tone and helped her off of the couch.
Cissa cast me a sleepy glance and followed her sister up the stairs. I continued to watch her until she was past my gaze. I caught a glimpse of Andromeda's angry glare, it was time for me to go. Slowly, I began to rise. But Andromeda was on a mission.
"I want a word with you." She snapped.
I raised an eyebrow. "Yes, Miss. Black?"
"What are you playing at with my sister? Hm? What do you want from her?"
"I want nothing more than to be her friend."
"That is a lie and you know it." She began to pace the room. "You do not look at her through the eyes of a friend, Lucius! And I want you to stop!"
"I can assure you I have no idea what you are talking about."
"She is just a girl, Lucius! And she is very fragile, you cannot even begin to imagine how fragile."
"I understand that."
"I think not considering you break everything in your path! You are a murderer, Lucius! And I do not want my sister to be involved with you!"
"I'm afraid I must decline your request, Miss. Black."
"This is an order!"
"Then I must disobey your order!" I could feel my temper rising.
"Leave her alone!"
"No!"
"Why the hell not?"
"Because I love her!" I shut my mouth quickly; this was all going too fast.
All was silent.
"Prove it." Andromeda growled.
"What would you have me do?"
"Leave the Death Eaters, become a better man, dump that bitch you're dating."
"You know I can't do that…"
Her hazel eyes bored into mine. "Then you don't love her."
It was my turn to glare. "Y-
Andromeda cut me off. "If you loved her you would put her before everything else. Everything, Lucius Malfoy. You don't love her; you don't love anything but yourself. And you know it's true, don't even try to deny it." She began to pace the floor. "Cissa is my sister, my beautiful, sweet sister! I will not let you ruin her! I will not lose another sister to that monster!"
"You can't stop her, Andromeda. If she wants to be with me, it is her choice. You can't stop us."
"Cissa would never chose you if she knew what you have done! How many people have you killed, Lucius? How heartless have you become?"
She had left me speechless. For, her words were not just cruel, they were true. The truth hurts the most, they say.
"As long as I am here, as long as she is my sister, I will do everything in my power to protect her from you. You will never have my sister, never."
With a final glare, Andromeda turned from me.
An evil plan formed in my mind, and evil thought, something that I dearly regret thinking. But the seed had been planted in my mind and it was making roots. Andromeda was in the way of what I wanted and when a Malfoy wants something, they will have it.
"I know your secret, Andromeda." I said. "Just like you know mine." She stopped dead in her tracks.
She spoke quietly, her back still facing me. "What?"
"How is dear Ted?" She was silent, I continued. "You tell me I will hurt Cissa, betray her trust, and yet you are doing the exact same thing. I always knew you were a mud-blood lover. Honestly, what would your parents think?"
Andromeda began to shake. "You wouldn't dare."
I chuckled, darkly. "Oh, I think I would. As you have said before, I am heartless."
