Lyra Malfoy

chapter 7

I didn't feel like getting up, I'm exhausted from yesterday. I wish I didn't have any inconvenience in my life nothing to interrupt my tranquility and peace. But I didn't get involved in this myself and I'm going out, alone as usual.

I took a long shower, very long and with very hot water, it relaxes me a lot.

I decided to put on some black pants, not tight, loose and elegant, a black corset with thin straps, some gloves that went up to my elbows. Shoes with low heels.

I wore only mascara on my eyelashes and as always I left my straight, long, ash blonde hair loose. I noticed while I was looking at my face that I had very dark and deep circles under my eyes, I didn't give it any importance, I left my room to go to breakfast.

I was walking down to the big dining room, I heard some shouts from there, some angry ones, I didn't care, I kept walking to where the shouts were.

-I do not intend to join them," said a voice like the one I recognized as Draco's, "I'd rather die!

I was already in the dining room, there was Draco standing as he faced Lucius.

-Draco darling don't say that- said Narcissa trying to soften the situation- Lucius we can't force him.

-I DON'T CARE IF HE WANTS TO OR NOT, IT'S HIS OBLIGATION!" said Lucius "I am your father and you will do what I say, or do you want your mother to die?" said Lucius lowering his voice to a cold and serious tone.

I was already serious, I couldn't tell how angry I was, no one could ever notice it.

-What's going on here!" I said a little loud so everyone could hear me.

I was positioned next to Draco in case I had to protect him at some point.

-He wants me to join the Mortifagos," said Draco angrily but with a calmer voice, "I'm not going to be with those people, never in my life, there has to be another solution....

-There isn't, period," said Lucius going back to eating his breakfast, "It seems you don't care if they kill your mother.

Everything became sepulchral, nobody spoke, only the clinking of Lucius' cutlery on the plate could be heard.

-HOW CAN YOU SAY A THING LIKE THAT!!!-suddenly he threw his chair to the wall and it exploded into pieces.

No one made a move, Narcissa just stared at her empty plate with a blank stare, Lucius was completely serious as he continued to eat his food.

I was staring at my so-called father with a look of pure hatred, he never looked up at me, he said absolutely nothing.

Draco was trying to catch his breath from what had happened.

-He has no obligation to join," I said trying to cut the tense atmosphere, "It's all right with me, don't let that thing you call "master" get to Draco, Lucius.

Draco looked at me with a puzzled face, maybe because he didn't know that I decided to join of my own free will.

But I didn't care, I continued with what I was going to say but he cut me off when I was about to speak.

-Don't change things Lyra, Voldemort already warned me that if he doesn't, there will be consequences and one of them is Narcissa," he said looking me straight in the eyes, "he's going to join by the end of the year, he can't object neither he nor anyone else.

Draco shot off to his room.

I wanted to go but I stayed to give him his space, I didn't want to overwhelm him.

I sat down in front of Narcissa who was still as paralyzed as before.

I was already starting to eat, everything in silence, I didn't want to talk to anyone anymore, I wasn't in the mood.
