----After Draco's duel with heir Black, Magnus, Lucius was furious upon his return over what had happened.
But as always he believed to have found a solution, one that he hoped I would play a part in by birthing a second heir to house Malfoy that would reinstate Draco's status when the time came.
Needless to say I was not pleased with the idea of being touched by him once again and being used as such.
Lucky when our parents were writing up my betrothal contract I had them word it in such a way that I was required to produce only one heir for the house and as Draco was the heir, though no longer, my part of the contract has been fulfilled and I am not bound by it to produce a second heir.
Needless to say Lucius was not pleased when I explained this to him and if not for my secretly keeping up my training and being as fast as I am with my wand I fear he would have forced me to aid him.
Since then I have secluded myself in my private chambers and kept wards up, he has not tried anything yet but I fear it will not be long until he does.
With my current situation as it is, I hope that you could arrange a meeting between myself and the new Heir Black so that I may plead my case with him and beg sanctuary with house Black under the olde laws.
For both myself and my son. I fear that Draco doesn't realise that without his position as heir Malfoy and with no way to return it in the near future he will become expendable very quickly.
I beg of you sister, take my message and plead with our future lord for mine and my sons sake.
I am prepared to meet any and all requests that are made of me to secure mine and my sons safety.
I hope that this finds you well, and that we may meet again soon.
Your sister.
Narcissa"
Upon reading the letter and it's contents Andromeda didn't know what to feel.
The pain of her banishment and the shunning by her family had been something she had tried not to think about over the years.
It had been painful turning her back on the traditions she grew up with but at the same time she knew it had been the right thing for her to do and to this day she had never once regretted her decision.
It had all proven to be a moot point now anyway, with her and Nymphadora being reinstated by Magnus.
She knew that her parents if they were still alive would never have accepted her back and she didn't feel anything towards them now, the horrid people they had been in life.
Now though being reached out to by Narcissa made her pause. They had always been close growing up, her, Narcissa and Bellatrix had always been inseparable when they were little girls which was why their actions towards her had hurt the worst.
She still cared for her sister, that was something she couldn't deny, she was family, she was a Black and Blacks looked after their own.
Reading the letter a second time Andromeda couldn't keep a small smirk from showing on her face as she read how her sister had used the contract wording against Lucius.
She knew that slippery prick would try to get around his oath, but the contract's wording had completely blocked him from using Narcissa to birth a second heir to get around it.
With a sigh she folded the letter up and put it away within her robe.
For the time being regardless of her own feelings and the pain she felt because of her sister's actions, she knew she would have to show the letter to Magnus and advise him on the matter, Narcissa was family, and he was the heir Black. The final decision would be up to him.
-----
Meanwhile at the Slytherin table Draco saw still as stone as he looked at the letter in his hands, his eyes wide and a cold sweat on his forehead as he read over the letter a second time, sure that he had misread something.
"Draco,
I understand your situation. Many will no doubt see your loss of status as weakness and will seek to abuse your loss of power for their own gain.
Do what you can to remain safe and keep strong. But I beseech you, do not attempt to seek vengeance against house Black or its heir, it will not change what has happened.
With your loss of status, though it may have slipped your notice, you have also lost any and all protection that it offered you. Particularly from your father himself.
As it stands he intends to try to restore your title by seeing another heir Malfoy is born and then have your status restored by them.
But even if his plan is to work it will take up to ten years until they can do so.
That means you will be without your status as Heir Malfoy for ten years, and that is also ten years where at any time your father could decide you truly are not worthy of the title and as such seek to remove you from any chance of regaining it by ending your life.
And if you believe that I would be able to keep you safe from him, do not think so. As currently he is just as displeased with me as he is with you.
As it stands our only viable option to secure both our safety is to plead for sanctuary under the olde laws with my former house.
I have already dispatched a letter to my sister to plead our case to Heir Black and to arrange a meeting with him so that I may do so myself.
In the meantime it is of the utmost importance that you do not antagonise House Black or its Heir further, for both our sakes.
Be well my son, and keep safe.
Your mother
Narcissa"
As he finished reading the letter a second time Draco felt his stomach drop even further than it had the first time.
