Matt wrapped a rag around his still bleeding knuckles, rage consuming him. It had been a long two weeks for him and his sister. Their mother, Susan, had died two weeks ago, though no one knew why. It was a mysterious death. One moment she was in perfect health, laughing and joking with her children, and then she was doubled over with agonizing stomach pains. Three hours later, she was gone.
Tears came to his frosty green eyes and he forced them back, refusing to show the grief his heart felt. The funeral had been hard for both Andi and Matthew, made all the more so by the actions of their father. Draco hid his secrets from Andi, but Matt knew everything. Draco hadn't been hurt by his wife's death, the only reason he'd married Susan Bones to begin with was because of her blood. Only her blood. Despite his inattentiveness, Susan had bee a kind and caring lady and her children adored her. Matthew had continued to grow angrier and angrier, penned up at their manor with Draco until it all came to a head. He found Draco curled up with a blonde who was supposedly offering "sympathy."
This is Lilian De Arnue He'd said. She might be your new mother.
It was then Matthew had let the blinding rage explode. Dragging his stunned father from the couch, he'd broken his nose and given him a black eye. It took two servants to drag him off, a pity he hadn't had his wand. He'd shaken them off and come straight back to school. He hadn't yet told Frae what had taken place, she'd left just after the funeral, unable to stay. Instead of going to her, Matthew sought the refuge of the lake, wandering by himself. He sat by the edge, just glaring into the pond, seeing in his reflection a mirror image of his father. How he hated it.

Dead. Her mother was dead. Andromeda was devestated, Susan had been the only one able to deal with Andi's temper, the only one able to make her feel better and the only one to keep her father somewhat off her back. She had cried ever since she found out, cried without stopping. Every morning shd would wake up and her eyes would be red and her pillow drenched in tears. She refused to see James or any of her friends. She had stayed home at the manor, locked in her room sobbing with her cat. She knew nothing of the goings on between her brother and father, Nor did she care. Andromeda's temper had grown increasingly since the day she found out. Mad at her father for not saying her mother was sick and mad at him for not consoling her very well. His methods had simply been a slight hug, and then giving her money. Not that she was complaining, but she wanted her daddy... not even James could fix this.
Andromeda walked out to the lake, immediatly she caught sight of Matthew. He had been deeply affected as well. They were alot alike in many ways, however Matthew's anger was displayed in his eyes, while Andromeda's anger was displayed in her whole face as well as body language and tone. I miss her Matty she sobbed as she hugged him tightly.

Matthew tried to hide most of what he was feeling, knowing that Andi needed him. Sure, they'd had some famous and furious arguments in the past, but underneath their aggravation for each other, they were still siblings. She would always be his little sister and he her protector. Nothing could change that.
"Me too Andi."
He said softly, wrapping his arms around her. He held his right fist away from her body, not wanting the blood to drip onto her clothes. The less she knew of right now, the better. But then again...she had a right to know. Especially if their father really intending on marrying that blonde bimbo, Lilian whatsername.
"She was great, you know. I wish she were stil here. I hope Dad knows that no one will ever replace her to us."

Andi continued to sob as he wrapped his arms around her. They may fight horribly, making everyone in their house go into hiding... but Andi loved her big brother. No matter how much he butted into her life she still loved him. She nodded as he said he wished she was stilll there I want her back. she almost demanded. Andromeda was used to getting what she wanted... why not now? the thing she wanted most she could not have. it frustrated her so much. Then the words hit her "I hope dad knows that no one will ever replace her." Andi wasn't stupid, that meant something.. Everything Matthew Malfoy said meant something. what the hell do you mean by that? she asked. Pulling away she crossed her arms, her eyes flashed red. That day, Andi had worn her catholic girl plaid skirt, that was short like always and had a small snake embroidered. Her crisp white blouse was tight fitting to her body, she knew Matthew probably wouldnt like her uniform beign so.... sexy but he was worried about other things at the moment. Matthew, what's going on she asked darkly. |

You idiot...
Now Matthew was torn. The older brother part of him wanted to protect his little sister from the pain their father had forced on himself, and soon Andi. But the more realistic part of him knew that Andi had a right to know. He ran his hand through his shaggy blonde hair and held up his torn hand.
"You didn't notice his broken nose before you left? That was me."
Matthew said dryly, letting her see just a hint of the rage that had posessed him earlier that day. It still burned, underneath. Just the thought oftelling Andromeda what her father was up to ignited it all over again.
"I found father in the study with another woman. Lilian something or another."
Matt's face flashed with anger again, an uncontrollable rage that threatened to consume him. How desperatly he wanted to go back to that manor and finish what he started this morning. Draco hadn't even seen the half of what Mtthew was capable of.
"He said that she might be our new mother."
Matt clenched his fist and buried it in the harsh and unforgiving tree bark. Something popped, but it was just a knuckle. He cursed angrily and pushed it back into joint as if the pain were nothing. Compared to the anger, it was just that...nothing.

As Matthew talked, Andi's eyes widened and filled with angry tears. How could he do that to them? he was supposed to be their father! he loved them! As he said she might have a new mother her face contorted into pure rage. People often said she was even more beautiful when she was angry. I will never have a new mother. Her life will be hell, I'll drive her away she growled... it would be easy. She was a daddy's princess, she got whatever she wanted, and she wanted this woman gone. Daddy will be getting rid of her by the end of the month she said evily. Andi was not one her father liked to have angry.... he seemed to strive on keping her happy and spoiled... mostly because she had the anger of a veela... the anger her grandmother, Narcissa had, as well as auntie Bellatrix. Daddy won't know what hit him. I expect you'll help me she demanded, Andi crossed her arms. Daring Matthew to refuse to help her. One way or another, he would. Tears continued to stream down her face, immediatly she wanted James again, he would help her... right? no, he would probably say she should want her father to be happy. But he knew Draco was not happy unless, his princess Andromeda was happy. And she was FAR from happy. Andromeda's jaw clanched and her face was more pale than usual... her usually green eyes red with anger but also in sadness. How could he replace their mother? why would he want to? it was obvious he never loved his wife. Andi always thought he took her for granted, he wanted heirs and heiress's to keep the pureblood's alive, to keep the Malfoy name alive. Andromeda would make her fathers life a living hell, it wouldn't be hard... she was very good at throwing tantrums, yelling and screaming... she knew alot of dark spells and there were alot of things broken because of Andromeda's anger... This Lillian doesn't know what she's getting into... she'll curse the day she met Andromeda Malfoy.. she said darkly. Andi's mind already was thinking of plans to get this woman away. |

Matt put his hands on her shoulders and resisted the impulse to shake her. He stooped so he could lock gazes with her.
"Andi, did you honestly think I wouldn't try to get her out of our lives? Of course I'll help."
He pulled her into an embrace again, trying to calm her down as well as himself. He rested his chin on top of her blonde hair, thinking, A wicked smirk fell over his lips, together the Malfoy siblings would be an unbeatable team. The slut didn't know what she was in for.
