Beautiful Lie [Draco Malfoy lovestory]

1. Weak

"I AM NOT GOING TO MARRY THIS DIRTY SLUG", cried my sister Anja in argony before she passed out.
Mother towered over her ,wand in hand, mustering her own daughter with disgust as she howered on the black marble tiles blood flooding down her forehead. All of the sudden she turned on her heal rapidly, her eyes scanning the enormous entrance.

I pressed my body against the wall trying not to make any more noise.
shit.
"Lily.. There's no need to hide from me.."
My mother approached me with dangerously slow steps, trying to sound comforting and warm.
But that didn't change anything about what I'd just seen. I was ripped out of my thoughts by my mum grabbing my arm and pulling me away from the scene. We sat down on some stairs, mum wrapping her arms around my shivering body.
"Why..?",were the only things I could utter. Although I knew exactly why.

As a member of an elite pureblood family
one is expected to be wed to another pureblood as well, have children and so on. Not to mention that my parents had a very traditional way of thinking. They despised eachother and even lived in 2 different countries, but stayed together nonetheless.
In their view their familys' reputation would be ruined by getting a divorce. It was unthinkeable.
The public's opinion was everything to my mother.
That's the reason why she was so distraught when my older sister outed herself as a lesbian.

My mother stroked my cheek lovingly.
"You know what happens when we don't follow our principles darling.. Anja had to learn the hard way."
"I worry about you as well you know.
That Durmstrang school is doing nothing but make you act like a man. We don't want you to end up like your sister do we?.."
I didn't look at her. I didn't dare to.
I knew exactly what she was capable of ,as she had hurt me as well many times before. Therefore the way she held me in her arms wasn't at all comforting. I knew I wasn't supposed to be afraid of my own mum. She was doing all of this simply because she wants the best for her children. Right?
I wiped away my tears glancing towards my sister, trying to make out any sign of life. Although.. She couldn't be dead no. It was a simple torture spell after all.
Eventhough people would describe me as tough, fearless even, around my mum I felt like a weak little kid , who couldn't do anything but watch.
"What do you mean by that? Are you going to pull me out of school? I need to finish my education somehow. What about my friends? Also I'm in the middle of school year!", I cried out finally looking up at my mum revealing my red puffy eyes.
"I can still make some arrangements. I've talked to some old friends and I'm sure I can get you enrolled in this school in the United States instantly. Its reputation speaks for itself and it's a way better pick for a young lady than Durmstrang. That school has put some obscene thoughts into your dear sister's mind. We'll fix her don't you worry. She was such a good girl.", mum hissed the last part as if she was talking about an annoying bug.
Fix her.. like something was wrong with her. Like she wasn't normal. Like she was a monster. What if I'm not normal? What if- What if-
I was ripped out of my thoughts as my mother continued talking:"I know that most elite families as you might call them send their children there. You might find a suitable marriage candidate.. who knows! Don't look at me like that you're already 16 after all!", she laughed " But don't you dare engage with any of those muggle born kids. They're troublesome. They're dirty. I don't want that rubbing of on my sweet little daughter"
She caressed my cheek once more before she stood up.
" Go to bed now. It's late. Tomorrow is Christmas after all. Fix yourself up, we have dinner plans in the UK.
Shu Shu go upstairs. I'll take care of Anja"
Still kind of in shock I made my way to my room and dived into my silky sheets, hugging my pillow for comfort.
God. Why couldn't I do anything. Why can't I fucking stand up for myself when I'm around her..?
I dozed off only a few moments later.
