Christmas Ball
Seven year old Draco heard the music from his room as he put his earrings in, everybody would be arriving soon.
He was so excited to meet new people, he’s only ever known four.
His father, Lucius Malfoy, is the head of his family. His father is the school governor of Hogwarts. As the head of the family, he is Draco’s Alpha until he gets married.
His mother, Narcissa Malfoy, is the head omega of his family. She teaches Draco everything he should know about being a head omega.
Then there is Draco, the only son of the Malfoy’s. He was gorgeous and almost all who saw him wanted him. Lucius and Narcissa feared for his life and so decided to not allow him outside, just in case.
Throwing the door open he rushed down the hallway, only to slam in his father.
Lucius turned around while chuckling, “Where do you think you are going dragon?”
Draco stood up and dusted himself off. His father picked him up from the ground to keep him from running off.
“I’m going down to the party!” Draco said with a smile.
“Not without me your not,” Lucius said frowning. There were too many untrustworthy death eaters down stairs to entrust his only son, his omega son, to go down there by himself.
Draco nodded as his father set him down gently.
Narcissa walked up beside Lucius and gazed at her son. She loved him so much, sometimes it hurt to think of his future.
Tucking Draco securely behind them they walked towards the grand staircase leading to the party.
“Now presenting Lord and Lady Malfoy, along with their son Draco Malfoy,” a person announced in a far off corner.
Many started clapping as the family ascended the staircase. Many looked on at the beauty that was Draco Malfoy.
Draco looked around in excitement, it seemed so warm and cozy. He’d never seen so many people in one place before.
Twisting out from under his mother’s tight grasp he watched as other kids ran around with each other.
Eyes lighting up he went go run after the other children only to be stopped by Lucius picking him up once more.
“You’ll be staying right here, our dragon,” Lucius said as they walked together to the music hall.
Draco watches with sad eyes as the other boys and girls play without him. Eventually Lucius puts Draco down and he sees his chance.
Hopping down from the chair he scurries off to where he saw the children go. Walking outside cautiously he peeks his head around to see a boy and a girl playing together.
"H-hello," Draco stutters quietly, he's never been around other kids before.
"Hi! I'm Blaise and she's Pansy," the little boy says. The girl punches his shoulder and skips over to Draco.
"Your Draco Malfoy!" Pansy exclaims, "you should come play with us!"
"Okay," Draco can hardly wait.
Running and playing for the first time was amazing. Draco rolled down hills and dipped his feet in the Manors lake. The Manor held many acres and land.
So many things Draco didn't even know was behind the fence.
Finding a baby sunflower he plucked it from the bush and held it close.
Climbing one of the many pine trees was amazing, he could see everything. There was the manor, the trees, the valley, the lake, and everything was beautiful.
When we looked, he saw the stars. He could see last one and it was the most wonderful thing Draco had ever seen.
But as Draco looked down he saw how high he had climbed and screamed.
Far off inside the manor Lucius looked up in fear. Looking around he saw no sign of Draco anywhere, so doing the only thing he could think of he ran as fast as he could.
"Hang on Draco!" Pansy yelled, frightened for her new friend.
Running as fast as he could Lucius came upon a tree where two children were looking up in fear, "where is Draco?" He demanded.
"Up there," the boy said quickly.
Looking up Lucius saw his son hanging onto a branch fearfully. "Hold on dragon," Lucius yelled to his son.
Soon everyone was gathered to watch Lucius cast a spell to lower Draco from the tree and into his arms.
Draco let out a whimper and nuzzled into his chest. Lucius quickly put him to his feet and gave him a glare.
"Draco Lucius Malfoy, what do you think you were doing?"
Lucius was enraged and Draco could tell so in his quietest voice he said, "I wanted to play with the other kids."
Lucius sighed and said, "Draco you shall be locked in your room for the remainder of the night, now come along."
Lucius seized Draco's thin wrist and marched him to his room.
Throwing Draco on the floor in his room he marched up to him, "Draco, you may come down in one hour, if you are good, but I never want you to try a stunt like that again."
"yes, father," whispered Draco. He fiddled with the sunflower in his hands.
"What is that, give it here!" Lucius demanded. The outside was dangerous and it was time for Draco to learn that.
"No! Please Father, just let me have this one thing," Draco begged with his heart, this was his one linked to the outside.
Lucius growled and ripped it out of his hand and crushed it.
Draco ran to the bed and began to sob quietly, "one day Draco you will know this was all to protect you."
With teary eyes Draco said, "yes father."
