The Obedient Son-A Draco Malfoy Fanfic

Chapter 7

Despite our efforts,he still found us. He got past every single protection spell, every piece of security,every precaution we took was for nothing.

He burst into the warehouse and Narcissa instantly got in front of me wand raised.
"Step aside,Narcissa." Lucius commanded.
"I will not allow you to harm my daughter." She replied.
"Daughter? She is not your daughter!"
"She is to me! She is Draco's wife. Why can't you just accept that and move on Lucius?"
"I demand that you step aside."
"Never."

Anger was burning in his eyes when Draco Apparated;he was equally angry.
"Draco I'm scared." I cried. I wanted to be brave. I wanted to be tough and not let Lucius succeed in scaring me. But I  had lost my wand and I was scared out of my mind.
"I know. I'm here now." Draco said. "I will not let him hurt either of you."
"Don't make promises you can't keep son." Lucius spat. "Blood will be spilt this night."
"Then it will be yours!" Draco yelled. "Expelliarmes!"

But Lucius blocked it throwing Draco back.
"Draco!" I cried.

The impact had knocked him unconscious and now I was defenseless. Even if I had my wand I would not stand a chance against Lucius. He was getting closer and closer and his wand was raised. I closed my eyes and prepared for the worst. "Avada Kadavra!"

There was a green flash but I felt nothing. I opened my eyes and saw Narcissa protecting me.
"Narcissa! Step aside." He commanded.
"Stop this, Lucius." She begged.

He moved his wand and looked as if he were going to turn and walk away. But instead he smacked Narcissa across the face sending her flying. "That will teach you to cross me. Looks like poor little Emmeline is all alone and defenseless. What a shame." He pointed his wand directly at my chest. "Prepare to die."

My heart was racing and tears were filling my eyes. I wasn't ready to die,not yet. But I had no wand and my protectors were both lying unconscious. I hated to think what Lucius would do to them once I was gone.
"Please have mercy." I said through tears. "Draco is your son. All he wants is for you to support his decisions. He has spent his whole life doing what you asked of him out of fear. Why can't you just leave him in peace?"

The grip on his wand loosened ever so slightly. "He,is no son of mine"
"Everything he ever did was to please you and the one time he does something without your consent you declare war upon him? What kind of father are you?!"

I could see Draco coming to in the corner of my eye. Now I was just stalling.
"I am doing what is best for him."
"Killing me is best for him?"
"You are a filthy,little,mudblood and you are ruining the only chance he has at a life."
"What life? All you have is your money,your bad reputation,and the marks on your arms that will only ever bring you grief. Is that the life you would have your only child live? One where pain and misery follow him all his days? Draco is a loving person and all he wants is to help people and make up for all the pain he caused on your behalf."
"He will not succeed. No one will forgive him."
"Harry Potter has. And the Weasleys. Your own wife has. The only thing holding him back is you."
"Shut up!"

He smacked me causing me to fall on the bed. The room was spinning and my face stung where his palm had made contact. His wand was now directly over my heart. "Say goodbye."
"Get away from her!" Draco yelled.

Lucius spin around to face his son who was now boiling over with anger. "How DARE YOU touch her!!!"

Lucius pointed his wand at me again. "Well Draco you woke up just in time to watch me kill her. "

Draco Disapparated and milliseconds later Apparated in between me and the wand pointed at my chest. He grabbed hold of my hand and squeezed tightly. "You'll have to go through me."
"So this is what it has come to?" His father scowled.
"I love her father,more than life itself. I will not allow you to kill her. Not while there is still breath in my lungs."

Narcissa was fully awake now and watching intently as her son stood firmly with his owns fathers wand pointed at his chest.

Lucius raised his wand "Avada-"

Draco squeezed tighter on my hand but stared unblinking at his father.
"Draco!" Narcissa yelled.
"-Kedavra!"

Time seemed to stand still as Narcissa jumped up just in time to push Draco out of the way. Lucius' spell hit her square on the chest killing her instantly.
"Mum? Mum!" Draco cried.

I began to cry as he clutched her lifeless body. "No. God please no! Please."

Lucius stood frozen with shock. Even with all the hate and anger he felt towards his son,he had always loved his wife dearly. "Cissy?" He cried. "Oh what have I done?!"

He moved toward her but Draco held up his wand stopping him in his tracks. He stood up to face his father. "You stay away from her."
"Draco please." Lucius said. "It was an accident. I didn't mean for-"
"For what?! For my mother to protect me? Did you expect her to just stand and watch as you murdered her son? You really are a monster."
"I am no monster. Draco,listen to yourself, you are out of sorts. Just come home and we will get this all straightened out and everything will be fine."
"I am thinking perfectly clear,Lucius. And I will go nowhere with you. Never again will I cower away and do what you say. No longer will I be your puppet!"
"Draco stop it! I'm only doing what is best for you. Because of you your mother is dead-"
"Crucio!"

Lucius writhed under Draco's spell but only shortly; he was no longer strong enough to perform the Unforgivable Curse.
"Is that all you got? My,my Draco you really have gone soft."
"Duel me!"
"Now Draco-"
"Duel me you coward! To the death!"
"Draco don't!  It isn't worth it!" I cried.
"Stay out of this, Em." He replied.
"No she's right." Lucius laughed. "I would hate for her to have to watch you die."

Draco was steaming with anger. I couldn't risk losing him. Not now. "You can't duel him!"
"Why not?! He killed my mother!"
"And he will kill you too. I need you,Draco."
"You'll be okay. I have to do this."
"But what about the baby?"

He froze."W-what?"
"I'm pregnant. That's why I've been sick. That is why Narcissa stayed with me. Please let's just go."
"Em....."
"Be the father Lucius never could be. Please."

I waited. He kept his wand pointed at his father but his other had found mine and clutched it tightly.
"Draco-" Lucius stuttered.
"Leave."
"Draco-"
"Leave now. If you ever come near me or my family I will kill you without a second thought."
"Draco my son."
"I am NOT your son. Not anymore. Now leave."

Lucius was crying. He lost his whole family in one day and it was all his fault. I should have felt bad for him; I didn't. He took one last look at us holding hands and standing side by side. I could have sworn I saw a smile in his eyes as he said "Goodbye,Draco. I wish you all the happiness. " He turned on the spot and Disapparated out of our lives forever.
