Lucius Malfoy OC X Cannon Sequel (Dark Vengeance)

Chapter 7: Draco's sickness

Lucius stood on the aged stone floor gazing at his son blankly...

he watched me put a large book on my vanity, and after let his eyes briefly look at the floor..

i quickly grabbed a black blanket from a closet and quickly stumbled toward Draco to wrap him in it..

after i coddled him.. i swiftly made him a warm cup of oolong tea..

i kneeled beside him and moved the white and blue floral Japanese china cup toward him..

he was breathing a bit heavily, and he seemed agitated or distressed..

"No.. don't.." he bluntly mutters and gently pushes it away.

i slowly move my hand back and peer up at Lucius in concern..

"Draco... tell us, what is wrong with you.." Lucius calmly walks forward, speaking in a soft patient manner.

i stay quiet, and let his father step in..

Draco was silent.. and begun to weep, his face was stricken in sorrow.. and he was dispirited..

i felt the intensity of his sorrow greatly.. it was nearly overwhelming..

"you don't understand..." he cried painfully, and slung back the blanket running out of the room away from us.

i got up and closely stood beside Lucius in shock..

he stared at the open door with the very same expression as i had..

i don't even know where to begin.. something is wrong with him... i can feel it causing him so much pain.. if he's miserable.. why won't he let us help him?..

does he want help?...

i hugged Lucius's arm, "i don't know what to do... how can we help him?.." i say softly in a concerned tone.

"i don't know..." he replies in a quiet voice.

"we can't just let him run away and disappear like this..." i look up at him.

"what's that book you put on your vanity?..." he asks curiously.

"what?..." i say in confusion.

i realized what he was talking about a few seconds later..

"oh.. i asked Dumbledore for advice on how to find out who's causing all of this havoc on us and Hogwarts.. he gave me permission to go into the restricted section of the Library and told me to find a book on shadow creatures and spells.. i suppose this is the book he spoke of.." i approach it and gently caress the cover.

"i've read a little bit, but i haven't found anything on what we've been experiencing..." i added shortly.

he stared awhile, then walks toward me..

he touches the books cover and looks at it intensely..

"i remember this book... it was taught especially to the Slytherin house, for a short time before it was banned.." he says seriously.

i quietly look at him intrigued..

"you wouldn't remember it because you weren't a student... but there was one individual who was very interested in it... they had a lust for it.. Narcissa's sister.. Bellatrix Lestrange..." he says strongly and sincerely.

"we weren't taught much of it... i can only remember being taught about creatures.. then after a few months.. they pulled back the teachings and restricted it.." he slid his fingers across it, collecting a thin layer of dust over his skin.
