A small boy was sat on a couch that seemed to swallow him whole in one of the massive drawing-rooms of the huge Manor that was his home. The tiny blonde head snapped up as a door slammed closed and a house-elf scurried to meet the newcomer. The boy’s silver eyes widened and he jumped to his feet running up the stairs as silently as possible. He ran up to his room looking around and running across the room to the large walk-in closet and hid behind his clothes his large eyes scanning the area and his little ears trying to pick up any sound in the house. He ran a hand through his silky blonde hair his eyes widening again as heavy footsteps could be heard on the marble staircase. He swallowed crawling away further. Not too long later however the door to his room swung open and his closet was ripped open and he was yanked out by his arm.
“You do not run away from me when I’m calling for you!” he hissed as his cane caught the boy under the chin forcing the young boy’s head up so that he was forced to look at his father “How often must I tell you boy?” he asked his voice harsh and dangerously low. “I… I’m sorry father” the boy swallowed his voice trembling ever so slightly. The man huffed “Man up Draco, it is high time you to grow up and take responsibility for your actions” he said “Meet me in my office in 15 minutes, and you had better not be late” he warned locking his eyes on his son’s, who nodded duly “Of course father” he whispered hanging his head in quiet submission and defeat. The man swirled around, his cloak billowing behind him as he strode from his room towards his office.
When left alone the boy took a few deep breaths trying to calm himself and prepare himself for what was about to come when he would meet his father in his office. The boy slowly made his way down the stairs and towards the large thick wooden double doors to his father’s study. He took another deep breath before his small hand balled into a fist and knocked on the door. There was an ‘Enter’ from inside and so he pushed open the doors, his head once more bowed staring at the floor as he stood before his father taking in yet another speech on how he had messed up and embarrassed his father when they had gone out to Diagon alley a day or so ago. The blonde tried not to let the harsh words affect him, but it seemed too hard. The boy closed his eyes for a moment swallowing.
A few hours later, the man stepped over the boy “Let this be a lesson to you” he spoke before leaving the office. The youngster closed his eyes in pain knowing he had better not cry. The boy sighed stretching his aching body before he slowly made his way back to his room sitting at the window-sill staring outside. Oh how he wished he could be out there… anywhere but here. He sighed as the sky darkened. He glanced around his room before grabbing some things stuffing it in a bag and silently making his way out of the window climbing down hoping the darkness would cover him.
He then jumped down and started to run. He knew he was being a coward and that he would most likely be found within days, but at least he would be free for the time being. He had kept a rather large amount of wizard money in a bottomless pouch that would at least sustain him for some time if it would come to that. He didn’t know how long he had been running, but it seemed he had arrived at a small park. The blonde boy looked around quickly waving his wand to change a spot in the grass into a rather suitable bed and blanket, curling up in his makeshift bed for the night he stared up at the stars finding it very soothing. He wondered why it had taking so long for him to do this. He knew he had to go back at some point though… he couldn’t really leave his mother alone with his father now could he? He drifted of into a very restless sleep.
