Chapter 2

♡AN: In case anyone is confused this chapter is from Harry Potter's point of view and this whole story is set after the war. This chapter contains mature content including, abuse and minor sexual acts/rape. I'll give you a signal '💢♨️' as to when these start. If you want to listen to music in the background I recommend listening to Let your tears fall by Kelly Clarkson I'll give you a '✩' to when you should start playing the song. If you listen to it in the background softly you'll find it gives the story much more effect. Enjoy!!♡

~Two months later~

I re-read the file in front of me over and over again, my brain not wanting to focus on the words sprawled in front of me. Random thoughts about anything but my job running through my head, like a toy train.

A soft knock interrupted my thoughts.

"Come in." I Said and I saw one of my
coworkers, Kelly walked in.

"Good Morning Kelly, to what do I owe the pleasure to?" I said.

"Morning Mr.Potter. There's a person outside who wants to see you, says it's urgent." She said, pushing her semi circular glasses up.

Her glasses reminded me of dear old Dumbledore and I smiled softly, "of course let them in."

She nodded and gestured someone inside.

I gaped at who I was looking at, I was face to face with no other than Narcissa Malfoy.

I gritted my teeth together, "please leave us alone Kelly."

Kelly nodded and closed the door behind her.

"With all do respect Mrs.Malfoy," I said standing up, "What do you want?" I couldn't help the venom in my voice.

"Mr.Potter please I need your help." She said urgently, ignoring my obvious hint that I didn't welcome her presence here.

I Lifted my eyebrows, "oh?" I said gesturing for her to sit down in the chair in front of my desk , and she did, as did I.

"It's about my son, Draco." She said.

I immediately felt anger bubbling in my chest and I let out a heavy sigh.

"Please Mr.Potter the war is over let's just put our differences behind us. I know you and my son have a past but it would help oh so much if you could at least listen to me."

I nodded my head.

She let out a sigh of what seemed like relief.

"Mr.Potter surely you know what they're doing to former Death Eaters? About them being sold off." She started.

I nodded, "Yes Mrs.Malfoy I'm well aware of some death eaters being sold to the highest bidder."

"Right well, my son was sold off 6 months ago and I blamed myself for it, if only I would've done something sooner, if I had at least attempted to save him from his fathers cruel intentions, oh what type of mother am I? I just stood aside and watched my poor son as he lost himself." She held a sob, "Lucius, Mr.Potter was not a very... erm caring father. He forced Draco to do so much that he didn't want, he forced the mark upon him thinking it would withhold our family name." At this she shed a tear.

I sat there awkwardly watching her as she tried not to sob.

"I sent an owl to Stratus, the guy whom my son got sold to, asking if I could visit my son one day but alas no reply came. I went ahead on anyway to the address that was by Draco's name. I knocked on the door and it was him who opened the door, my son, my Draco opened the door. Merlin he looked so... soo.." she cut of in a sob.
