Bab 91: Draco's Trial
"Father." Draco said when he arrived in his fathers study with Professor Snape. He was more than a little angry at the fact that Potter had gotten him in trouble, of course Umbridge would not do much to him as he was a respectable pureblood after all. But she did inform his father, and now Draco found himself sent back home, his father had immediately demanded his presence and that was why Draco had just entered his family home after being escorted away from Hogwarts by Professor Snape. "Father I..."
Draco found himself cut off a his father slapped him hard across the face, Draco fell backwards as he was definitely not expecting to be slapped, especially by his own father. Draco was not allowed more than two seconds to recover before his father pulled him to his feet only to hit him again, this time harder than before.
"Father!" Draco cried as Lucius shoved him against a wall. "What are you doing?! I..."
"Quiet!" Lucius hissed angrily as he slapped Draco once more before he shoved Draco against a wall before he wrapped a hand around Draco's neck, "Are you stupid?!" Lucius demanded, knowing that Severus had put up silencing charms so he did not have to worry about lowering his voice. "I don't know how but I have clearly failed as a father if an idiot like you is my only heir!"
"But...but father..." Draco chocked out.
"Lucius," Snape drawled, "while I do understand your anger, it will not benefit anyone if you end up killing the boy."
"Hmm." Lucius grunted before he let Draco go, Draco was about to slide down only for Lucius to grab him by the arm and pull him back up. "You will stand there like a man Draco!" Malfoy senior said as he glared at Draco. "I have been contacted by that Umbridge bitch, why was I told that you have been talking about the dark lord in school?!" Lucius demanded, looking angrier than Draco had ever seen him.
"I...I...Potter had insulted me..." Draco stammered out. "The filthy half-blood..."
"That filthy half-blood would better serve as the Malfoy heir than you as far as I am concerned!" Malfoy snapped, shocking Draco who was shrinking back in fear. "You were told to stay quiet! The dark lord wished to keep his return a secret and yet you are shouting at each and every person who insults you! You spoilt little brat!" Lucius frothed, he looked like he was about to either throw a punch or fire a spell and likely would have done if Snape did not intervene. "That's not to mention you antagonising the Greengrass daughters! What would drive you to say such things to the daughters of Cyrus Greengrass?! Do you have any idea what power that man wields?!" Snape gently pushed Lucius back before he talked to Draco in a tone that he usually reserved for Gryffindors, Potters or both..
"The dark lord," Snape drawled as he looked at Draco in a combination of anger and disappointment. "wished to keep his return a secret, that meant that all of his servants and their children were not supposed to mention him and act as if he was dead. The dark lord was not pleased to hear you disobeying his direct order." Snape said, causing Draco to pale dramatically.
"Yes, yes, now he sees!" Lucius shouted. "Do you have any idea what you have done?!" Lucius roared at Draco. "Now not only have you damaged our family reputation in the eyes of the dark lord and his followers, but now the dark lord will also want to 'talk' to you and if he is not sufficiently pleased after talking to you then he will express his displeasure with your mother and I!"
"F...Father..." Draco stuttered. "I...I am s...sorry but I..." Draco did not get to finish speaking as he quickly realised that he had probably something wrong if the look in his fathers eye was any indicator.
"Sorry? SORRY?!" Lucius lunged forward and was only barely held back by Snape. "You have nearly ruined everything and all you can say is sorry?! You stupid fuck!"
"Lucius!" Snape said, raising his voice for the first time since the meeting started, it just about managed to stop Lucius who still looked murderous. Snape sighed before turning to Malfoy. "Normally I would tell you that you are to wait here but that is not the case today. Your father and I must attend a meeting, unfortunately the dark lord has requested your presence as well."
"Me?!" Draco squeaked.
"Yes, you." Snape said as he removed his silencing charms. "When you speak to the dark lord you will be respectful, you will only speak when spoken to, you will chose your words wisely and you will not bother telling him false truths, he will know if you are being even the slightest bit hesitant in revealing something to him. Perhaps with years and years of occlumency training it may be less so but as of now you are basically an open book to him."
"You have already cost the Malfoy family so much," Lucius growled at Draco. "do not cost us more, am I understood?" He said, only the knowledge of the charms being removed kept him from yelling at the top of his lungs.
"Y...yes father." Draco nodded quickly, looking a lot like the Dobby, the house elf he was fond of kicking around.
"Good, now follow me." Lucius said after taking a very big and deep calming breath, he walked out with Draco following after him and Snape slowly and lazily following behind the two male Malfoys.
