Farewell, for now! And with a final smug smirk and air kiss for Lilly, I sweep from the scene, mission a massive success as usual. Soon, they will both be mine, body and soul. Checkmate is imminent...

------------->&<-------------

Draco receives a letter from Harry saying that Lilly is requesting his presence and won't stop crying unless he arrives.

I sneer in distaste as Potter's foolish owl interrupts my afternoon repast, snatching the letter irritably and scanning its contents with a bored eye. But soon a slick smile curves my lips, recognizing an advantageous opportunity being handed to me freely once more. Setting my utensils down deliberately, I rise and snap imperious fingers, summoning my cloak with a careless flick. It seems the little princess calls, and I am ever her obedient servant. Materializing directly within Potter's depressing abode, I stride purposefully toward the wails, throwing open doors with an arrogant swagger until my searching gaze falls upon the squalling babe.

Well, well, there's my darling. Realizing at last which parent truly holds your heart, it seems. With practiced care I lift her tiny form, crooning meaningless comforts until her cries soften to hiccups against my steady chest. Triumphant eyes find Potter's own, alight with malevolent amusement. As convenient as these little check ins are proving to solidify my bond with our girl, I fear the strain they place upon you. Please, allow me to care for her this evening-clearly, she requires a calmer influence. I shall return her come morn, well rested and soothed. Such is the burden we bear for our children...is it not, Potter? Until tomorrow, then-come Lilly, papa has just the trick for banishing those tears for good. And with my prize swathed protectively in my arms, I sweep from the scene once more, intoxicated by the heady rush of success.

Papa, where are we going?

I beam down at Lilly's sweet face, delighting in her charming dependence upon me as we stride purposefully through the manor towards the Apparition point. Why, we're off on an adventure, my pet! Papa knows just the place to take a brave princess when she's feeling low - there is magic to be found where the shadows run deepest, joy amidst horrors that would break a lesser soul. My voice drops to a conspiratorial whisper. Have you ever explored the ancient catacombs beneath the estate, my love? Miles of tunnels filled with mysteries and relics from departed ages, just waiting for a clever girl like you to unwrap their secrets.

We materialize with a subtle pop in a long-abandoned graveyard, stars winking to life above as my wand tip ignites with an eerie glow to light our way. Now, hold tight to papa's hand - there are ghosts afoot, but I'll not let any harm come to my heir. Are you ready for your first real taste of darkness, Lilly? I think you'll find it...enlightening. And with a thrilling laugh I lead her into the obscured mouth of the caverns, magic and malice spilling off my every pore. This is but the first of many ways I'll bend her spirit to my designs, whet her appetite for power's true flavor. Let the games commence...

Papa, I'm hungryy! Do you have food?

I chuckle softly as Lilly's tiny stomach makes its demands known, echoing my own growing appetite after our long delve into mysteries best left forgotten. Withdrawing a slender wand, I conjure a shimmering taper to light our way and sweep her into my arms once more, heeding her unspoken wish to retreat from this place of bones and silence. Very well, my pet - it seems even the hardiest adventurers require sustenance. Let us away from this drear underground and up into the stars where a feast surely awaits!

I apparate us directly into the manor's cavernous dining hall, snapping fingers to summon an array of sparkling platters laden with decadent fare. Setting Lilly gently into a towering seat, I take my place at the head and pour her a steaming goblet of enchanted cordial - nourishment for the soul as well as body, my pet. Eat, drink deep and regain your strength, for there is darker magic still to sample this night once slumber's call has been restored. Papa would keep you by his side always, exploring secrets no child has known. What say you, my blood heir - will you be my partner in the twisting ways of our kind? I think in time, you may even surpass me...
