A Warm Heart Turned Cold

A WARM HEART TURNED COLD

She awoke with a start. Was she just dreaming? This couldn't really be happening to her... could it? As she focused her eyes to the dark she realized that in fact, it was not a dream at all. It had really happened, all of it. What were her friends thinking? Her family? She sat up and looked at the closed door. She knew what lay on the other side, was it too late to turn back now?

It had started just one month before. She was sitting talking to her closest friends and this man appeared in front of them. He didn't just appear because they hadn't been aware of him walking towards them but he just... appeared. All he said to her was "Come with me or forget you ever saw me." She didn't know what she was getting into at the time, but hey, what teenage girl doesn't want some excitement. So, against her friends' wishes, she took the man's hand and within seconds she was whizzed to what looked like a dungeon.

It was not a dungeon though, it was her new room. She turned to talk to the man, but he was now gone. She walked through the door by her side into a similar dark room to find a man sitting at the only desk in there. He was pale; almost ghost like with midnight black hair. The man did not look up at her, but rather, he pushed a picture to her. This picture changed her life forever. She picked it up and saw that man standing - smiling - with a very pretty lady, who looked much like the girl herself, but older. In both of their arms was a baby. Could this baby be her? No... she had seen her baby pictures, these were not her parents. Were they? Had her whole life been a lie? She asked questions, got answers, asked more, and realized that, yes; the child was her in the picture. The lady that was her mother was none other than Lily Potter. Did this make her the famous Harry Potter's sister she wondered?

She was sworn to never reveal who her mother or brother was to anyone. She went through training to become a wizard. For you see... when she was sitting with her friends she had no idea of the wizarding world, she was a simple muggle. The one thing her father hated in the world. Her father figured that she was now ready for harder training. He took her to a house, no, a mansion. Inside the mansion was the man that had greeted her on the first day of her new life. He was taller than her father; he had long blonde hair and an angry look on his face all the time.

He motioned her to follow him so she did but at a far enough distance so he couldn't grab her or anything. She didn't know what was to follow, but she had a feeling it was not good.

"Go easy on her Lucius. This is her first time and she is not prepared as well as she should be." Her father talked nicely? Was this possible? Go easy on her? What was she in for that would make her father question her well being?

"I will do what I did to Draco the first time Severus. He is okay, isn't he?"

She could see her father pondering but figured that whatever he was thinking he was not going to say to this man, Lucius I think it was. She watched as her father said goodbye and left, she watched as Lucius opened a thick door and led her to a dungeon, she watched as he lit the lamps with a flick of his wand, and then she saw. There was dried blood all over the walls and floor. What was she in for?

"From now on you will address me as Mister Malfoy, is that clear?" His voice was stern and she knew he had done this before.

"Yes." He looked at her with his beady eyes, "Yes Mister Malfoy."

"I will teach you to be nothing, do nothing, act nothing, which is not the ways of his Lordship and of the best house in Hogwarts: Slytherin."

And then it all began...
