Chapter 154: Malfoy Dilemma
Since Voldemort had gone to the Dark Dimension, everything changed for Death Eaters. Many of them who had been captured and rescued by Voldemort are now are living in hiding and they no longer dared to show their faces in public.
They had seen how their Dark Lord had lost against the Boy Who Lived and his cousin, so their belief to him began to crumble. When they heard Voldemort gone missing and the reason he was gone is to learn even more powerful Dark Magic.
This didn't sound weird because their last raid resulted in utter defeat against the boy who are not yet and adult.
So the question began to replay on their mind.
'Is them being one of the Death Eater and terrorize others are correct?'
One of the family Death Eater who had been impacted the most is Malfoy, after the Dark Lord defeat in 1981, they almost getting their family being put in prison.
Luckily the wizards in ministry are very corrupt and Lucius Malfoy escaped the punishment, but after the Dark Lord return last year.
The one who are being infected the most are the Malfoy family, everything has gone wrong after Lucius was forced to become a DADA professor by the Dark Lord.
Narcissa has long voice out her complain to her husband not to take that position, but just one word from Lucius silenced her.
"Dark Lord forced me to take this position, I can reject but I don't have enough strength to protect Draco from his wrath," said Lucius who clearly wanted to reject the position but he knows the reason Voldemort forced him to take that position is form of punishment because he failed to protect the Diary.
From that moment on, Narcissa no longer voiced out her concern because she knows how terrifying the Dark Lord can be when he got angry, so she grieved in silent when her husband was thrown to Azkaban.
A few weeks later she was told, that if her family didn't take a vow then her family would be monitored 24 hours by an auror.
She knows how terrifying this to her son, being watched 24 hours so she contacted her husband who are in hiding.
Lucius then discussed this with others death eaters who had their son in Hogwarts. Coincidentally the Dark Lord also returned in Dark Dimension because he wanted to powering up his people with a new power he found there.
Voldemort agreed to take a vow not to become a Death Eater, he will simply for a new group Young Pureblood to replace Death Eater.
So Narcissa and her son Draco are taking the vow infront of auror but little did they know, with the advice from Dudley, Amelia had taken another step further.
Narcissa was forced to take that vow first in separate room, after she had did what they've told her. It was her son who was taken the vow, also in separate room.
After Draco was vowing that he won't join Death Eater, he was also forced to not helps someone who was born and named Tom Marvolo Riddle.
Draco and those young pureblood family didn't know Voldemort real name, so they agreed to take that vow. Once they've taken that vow,
So they are adding not to help Tom Marvolo Riddle, which they agreed after this youngster vow to that name then they are told the truth that Voldemort real name is Tom Marvolo Riddle.
Their parents were so surprised because after this, they were no longer able to help Voldemort and would eventually forced to the corner and unable to help their parents.
This information was sent to the Voldemort and he become enraged when he knows about it, now many pureblood except their parents can't join him anymore.
But for Narcissa, she was secretly very happy after knowing that her son won't become the Death Eaters and won't ever helps the Dark Lord in the future.
It wasn't just her family but all the pureblood family are also in the same boat, in the future Crabbe, Goyle, Parkinson and others won't dare to join or learn something from Voldemort or his Dearth Dark Lord won't kill her son because all his supporters had done the same.
Narcissa in particular, she had known about Lucius become part of Death Eater since she was studying in Hogwarts. At that time, she didn't care and she felt her husband was right but she won't take part of torturing or raiding other house.
That kind of activity would mess with her magic and make her bloodthirsty and fond to the Dark Magic like her sister Bellatrix Lestrange.
Now she was communicating with her husband through the orb.
"Lucius, what was the response of the Dark Lord?" asked Narcissa.
"He was angry but because all of us, all the children of pureblood had taken that vow," reply Lucius while pausing for a while. "He won't kill all of us."
Narcissa breathed heavily, although she was married with Lucius because of her family not by her choice. Still she had shared a bed with him for a decades, so she is a bit worried about Lucius.
"Narcissa, I will tell you about all the saving I have saved and please hide and don't involve yourself with us anymore," warned Lucius.
"Why?" asked Narcissa a bit surprised with Lucius.
"I don't think we would win in this war and our people in the ministry had been captured," said Lucius. "And I don't want the vow that you have made would kill you, so don't talk about this anymore and Narcissa I love you."
Hearing this Narcissa fell silent, she remembered the past when her husband just compliment her 'you are pretty' or 'only woman like you are suitable to marry pureblood like me' but 'I love you?', that words never left Lucius mouth.
For some reason Narcissa wanted to cry but she hold on.
"Be careful Lucius, don't worry about Draco I will take care of him," said Narcissa.
"Thank you Cissa," replied Lucius before they cut off the line.
Narcissa stumbled on the floor and cried and not just her even Lucius are also crying on the other side.
