Mother!

Chapter 21 :

At Malfoy Manor :

Draco was running out of thoughts.

The recent news of her death was burning him like a fire.

He ran through the charmed wards of Malfoy Manor.

There was nothing he could see but just her face in his mind. He tried to use legitimacy on the closest mind he could and then he saw the mind of happy and loud mind of Bellatrix Lestrange.

She was happy seeing her dead, finally the obstacle in her path is gone and Dark Lord will be hers

He gritted his teeth in anger, Bellatrix was a very pathetic aunty, a pathetic sister and a very very pathetic human. Not less in comparison with the Dark Lord.

Voldemort was a pathetic evil monster, he not only tortured his mother but he also touched her pure soul with his infected and perverted mind.

This was enough for Draco to lose his patience and go against all the ideals and principles of purebloods and kill Voldemort.

And just then he opened the door of his parents room only to see the numb and lifeless body of his mother.

Narissca Malfoy's body was entiry drained of blood. There was hardly any blood left in her pale thin body.

She looked like a ghost.

The once beautiful face was now unrecognizable. They were bite marks on her body. All her beautiful features were now gone forever.

Draco's heart was in his mouth seeing her in this condition. He felt ashamed of himself. He couldn't protect his mother, who always fought for him with the entire world, be it alone Voldemort.

He felt a sharp knife hit him, straight into his chest. He started shivering and fell down in on his knees, in defeat.

Tears were coursing down his cheeks unchecked. He couldn't hold it down anymore, he screamed on the top of his voice "Mother!!!!!!"

He suddenly felt someone patt his shoulders. It was him, the person responsible for putting them into this mess.

He was responsible for her death.

He hated him more now.

Lucius Malfoy stood there beside his son, sympathising him. Draco violently shook his hands off his shoulder. Angry tears were blurring his vision.

"This is all your fault! She is dead because of you " Draco accussed his father. "Your fault!"

He could see the shame on his father's face.

Lucius Malfoy couldn't face his own son. He couldn't see him eye to eye. Today, Lucius felt that he was never a good husband nor a good father.

"I'm sorry Draco" was all he could say to his son.

" I'm going to kill him! That bloody monster tortured her to death!" he seethed in anger and looked dangerously at his father, "How could you possibly live with that father? Don't you love her?" 

"I love her and you, my son. I'm very sorry for putting you into this mess. Please forgive me" Lucius apologised sincerely and with that he left the room.

He had no more guts to face his son and tell him the truth. This was absolutely not the correct time for Draco to know the truth about his mother.

Just then Draco Malfoy saw something very strange on the lifeless body infront of him. He could not see the mark (soulmate mark) on her hand.

This can't be possible!

Does the body lying infront of him belong to his mother?

Thousands of questions were popping up in his mind.

He knew only one person could answer that- Lucius Malfoy!
