94. A Baby Malfoy

They were too perfect a couple:
too rigid, too controlled.

They had their own brand of love
to show.

A little baby,
clothed in the best
money could by

And a love
invisible to all but them
who hold their little baby tight
kicking and s
to shield him from the light
and nurture him into all
that was good and right
for them all
and for the cause

Because they seemed
a doll-like pair, ill-matched,
but they loved, they shared together
what they didn't show to the world
but kept tender within their own bosoms

And now the tender hands of their son
who could yet not grasp.
