"Come on Draco. We need to go home before father does." Leah says. Draco runs over to her.

"K!" He says. Sixteen year old Leah picks up her four year old brother and apprates home with him.

"Go on...and stay out of trouble." She says smiling. Draco runs off to his room and Leah sits down to read a book. A few minuets later Lucius Malfoy arrives home.

"LEAH!" He yells.

"Yes Father?" She says going to see what he wanted.

"There is some terrible news. You're mother was killed today. They think it was someone who was against the dark lord. So you will be taking over your mother's role when ever you are at home."

"Yes sir." Leah says forcing herself not to cry because the one thing her father wouldn't stand for and that was crying. She learned at an early age not to cry until she was away from him. Draco had learned the same thing. She went to her room and cried. A short time later Draco went into her room and saw her crying.

"Leah?" He says in a small voice.

"Come here Dragon." She says. He runs over and she picks him up and sits him in her lap.

"Mummy was killed today." She says. Draco looked at her sadly.

"Mummy? Why?" He asks starting to cry.

"I don't know little one but father says it was someone against his master but i don't believe it." For a few minuets Leah holds her brother close while he cries. She then realizes that he was asleep. She gently carries him to his room and lays him on his bed. She heads downstairs. When she gets down there Lucius hits her and knocks her to the ground.

"WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING? I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU, YOU WOULD BE TAKING OVER YOUR MOTHER'S ROLE!" Leah looks at him scared.

"I was tending to Draco." She says in a quiet voice.

"HE IS FINE! THE HOUSE-ELVES CAN TAKE CARE OF HIM! YOU ARE TO WORRY ABOUT ME FIRST AND HIM SECOND AM I CLEAR?" He yells. Leah couldn't believe what she was hearing. She finally did the thing she never thought she would do and that was talk back.

"No...He's only a baby!" Lucius kicks her in the stomach.

"You will not back-talk to me and he's not a baby and if you don't watch your mouth i will get rid of him...so if you don't want me to hurt him you will do as i say!" Leah knew she had lost.

"Yes sir." Lucius grabs her and pulls her up.

"You will take over ALL of your mother's roles and i don't want any arguing or i'll get rid of him." Leah realized what he meant and she becomes even more scared. She doesn't fight him though because she wouldn't be able to live if anything happened to Draco. Later that day when Leah was crying in her room he calls Dobby.

"Yes Miss." He says.

"Dobby will you check on Draco for me?" Dobby nods and goes to check on Draco. When he comes back Leah had stopped crying.

"Young Master is playing." Leah nods.

"Can you bring him to me?" Dobby nods and when he comes back Draco is with him.

"Leah are you ok?" He asks going over to her.

"I'm fine. Dobby you may go." Dobby nods and disappears.

"Draco i want you to stay out of father's way as much as you can ok?" Draco looks at her confused.

"PLEASE Draco...I need you to listen to me...you trust me right?" Draco nods.

"Good then PROMISE me that you'll stay out of father's way."

"I promise." Draco says.

"Good. Come on I need to go start dinner and i'll take you with me. Like mummy used to." Draco nods and follows her down. Leah sits him on the counter and starts to make dinner. A few minuets later Lucius enters.
