00:06draca malfoy and the chamber of secrets chapter one pureblood by you may please note this story
00:15depicts sequences of corporal punishment and emotionally abusive and neglectful parenting
00:20i believe these scenes added needed complexity for the character and serve an important narrative
00:25purpose i made every effort to treat the topic sensitively and with compassion for the victims
00:31reader discretion is advised draca malfoy was lying on her stomach on her bed pouting during the ride
00:38home on the hogwarts express draca had been quite looking forward to the summer holidays finally she
00:44would be free from crab and goyle's stupid questions not to mention the constant reminders of potter and
00:50his little friends draca had celebrated her 12th birthday alone at hogwarts on june 5th during the
00:56last week of term she had expected to be welcomed with hugs and kisses not to mention birthday
01:02congratulations instead mother and father had been waiting for her along with draca's pet eagle owl
01:09altair which was perched on father's shoulder her father was holding the envelope which contained the
01:14results of her final exams from her first year at hogwarts without a word being said draca knew
01:21exactly what was in store for her when they arrived at home a spanking some birthday present muttered draca
01:28lifting herself up onto her elbows draca twisted to examine the six bright red cane marks on her behind
01:34she had purposefully left her bottom bare to give it time to cool off draca had hoped that passing all
01:41her
01:41classes would have counted for something but she only achieved a grade of a for acceptable in history of magic
01:48transfiguration charms and herbology this was good enough to avoid failing but she had to get her grades up to
01:54an e for exceeds expectations in order to be on track to earn an any wt in any of those
02:00subjects even worse draca
02:02had been outscored in every single exam by hermione granger a mudblood her father had heard all about miss
02:08granger during a meeting of the school's board of governors apparently granger was the first student
02:14to achieve perfect scores in every exam in over 50 years draca had known all along that granger was
02:21an obnoxious bookworm but she had at least hoped to earn the top grade in her best subject potions class
02:27taught by professor snape but draca had missed two points on the written portion of the exam falling just
02:33short of the perfect grade required for a grade of o4 outstanding this defeat had been the last straw
02:39for her father lucius malfoy at least you managed to not flunk out in your first year he had said
02:45but
02:46that's hardly an accomplishment draca a witch with your noble heredity your blood outclassed by a muggle
02:51born you have every possible advantage over filth like that there can be no excuse for mediocre performance
02:58for a malfoy first father had came draca giving her six of the best instructors after father was
03:04finished mother had made draca fetch an ebony wooden hairbrush then given draca a second round of paddling
03:10over her knee this was mother's quiet way of saying that she fully supported her husband's decision
03:16to discipline draca sometimes in the past mother had intervened on draca's behalf asking father to
03:23reduce draca's punishment for minor offenses but if draca ever did something that threatened her safety
03:28or her future she knew her mother could easily match her father as a stern disciplinarian
03:34the only silver lining was father's final announcement after mother had finished
03:39that will suffice for your punishment draca you will go straight to bed without supper i am confident this
03:45will motivate you to study hard this summer the punishment was actually much lighter than draca had
03:50expected after all just last christmas she'd received multiple canings for her poor results
03:56on her midterm exams what really bothered draca wasn't the discomfort of the lingering marks left
04:01by father's cane and mother's hairbrush it was the bitter knowledge that she'd been beaten in her best class
04:08for draca that insult was far worse than any injury draca heard footsteps in the hall outside her room
04:15and tensed she wondered whether she was about to be released from her early bedtime
04:20or whether her parents had changed their minds and determined a second round of punishment was indeed
04:25warranted but the footsteps only passed by her door and disappeared draca sighed with relief then there was
04:33a crack like a whip and someone popped into existence right next to her bed draca squealed in shock
04:39it was dobby the house elf he was a short miserable looking creature with large bat-like ears
04:45he wore no clothing except for a grubby pillowcase holes cut in the corners to act as sleeves for his
04:51arms quickly draca covered her bottom with her hands and snarled dobby how many times do i have
04:58to tell you to knock before entering dobby bowed so low his long nose touched the ground his voice
05:04was high-pitched almost squeaky begging the young mistress's pardon but the master of the house has ordered
05:10dobby to tend to his daughter's wounds and to be quick about it draca rolled her eyes then folded her
05:16arms in front of her trying to look glum but draca had to hide a smile if father had sent
05:22dobby to heal
05:23her it could only mean that draca was no longer being held in a state of disgrace oh whatever do
05:29your
05:29work servant oh yes mistress at once dobby is so very happy to see mistress draca's punishment is over
05:37dobby bowed again and raised a finger instantly draca felt a warm glow and the angry red marks from
05:43her father's cane began to fade draca didn't say a word once when she was a toddler draca had thanked
05:50dobby for helping her giving him a hug and a kiss draca's mother had sternly warned her that it was
05:56improper to treat a servant that way servants were not to be spoken to unless it was to give them
06:01instructions or a direct order not much later when draca had offered to let dobby play dress up with
06:07her her father had grabbed draca by the arm and shouted at her never offer clothes to the house elf
06:14her father had made draca repeat the same lesson back to him word by word while caning her draca had
06:20learned the hard way never to treat dobby with any sort of kindness or consideration beyond the politeness
06:26due to a servant but draca was certainly grateful for dobby's healing magic without it draca probably
06:33would have spent most of her childhood unable to sit down comfortably that will do dobby said draca
06:39coolly dobby bowed once and disappeared into thin air with a snap draca checked the state of her backside
06:46and whistled at the sight good as new she got out of bed and dressed in one of her silk
06:52night dresses
06:53draca's mother had tried to have dobby send a pair of them to hogwarts but draca didn't want to be
06:58caught dead in anything so soft and frilly especially not by her slytherin classmates but
07:04they were insanely comfortable just as draca was about to climb back into bed she heard more footsteps
07:10and paused the sound was heavier than before and there were more than one set of boots a deep gruff
07:16voice
07:16said but mr malfoy where are we supposed to hide something this big so long as it's not in my
07:22house
07:23i don't care crab just don't lose it and don't drop it answered lucius malfoy but sir what if they
07:30raid one of our houses next answered a third man rasping for air that won't happen goyle you don't
07:37have as many enemies in high places as i do it's been over a decade since you were under suspicion
07:42the ministry's probably forgotten all about you two by now draca tensed the voices of the two men
07:49were too old to be her crab and goyle the two boys who acted as her cronies and bodyguards at
07:54hogwarts
07:55so it had to be their fathers but what were they doing here father always complained that crab
08:00and goyle were barely proper wizards they weren't exactly the sort of people you could invite over
08:05for a cup of tea those ministry morons do seem to forget an awful lot of things don't they grunted
08:11crab
08:12there was a series of loud bumps as if the two men had nearly tripped and dropped whatever they
08:18were carrying careful you fools snarled lucius malfoy draca tiptoed toward her door and pressed
08:24her ear against the keyhole say why don't we get your house elf to carry this said goyle i don't
08:31want
08:31my slave so much as touching this antique he's far too valuable now careful round the corner don't
08:38scratch the there was a loud scraping sound and as lucius malfoy berated crab and goyle their voices
08:45slowly faded out of hearing draca considered everything she had just heard she knew her
08:51parents had been rearranging the house but what her father had said about the ministry of magic was
08:56suspicious was he afraid someone was going to raid their house and find something illegal but that made
09:02no sense to draka the malfoys were highly respected in the magical community her father was no common
09:08criminal what could he possibly need to hide for a few minutes draka lay in bed trying to force
09:14herself to fall asleep when that didn't work she threw off the blankets slowly draka opened her bedroom
09:21door by a crack sure enough there was a scuff in the wallpaper at the end of the hallway that
09:26ran
09:26around the corner but no one was in sight draka tiptoed down the hall and went downstairs there was
09:33a faint green glow coming from the drawing room father must have lit the fireplace then draka heard
09:39her mother's voice she sounded slightly desperate what are we going to do lucius what if they think
09:45to look under the it will be fine narcissa my tip came from a reliable source weasley doesn't have
09:51enough evidence to authorize a raid yet not without higher approval from the department of magical law
09:57enforcement and even if he manages that the hidden compartment is protected by a greater spell of
10:03concealment but lucius there's just no room that hideaway was only meant to hold three people not a
10:10collection of dark magical artifacts then i'm sure mr borgen will take the lesser objects at least the
10:16ones that don't carry any serious curses draka held her breath she knew that some of the antiques
10:23they owned carried curses but this was the first she had heard anything about dark magic from inside
10:29the drawing room dobby spoke up begging the master's pardon but perhaps if dobby could use his own magic
10:35too there was a nasty cracking sound and dobby held in pain silence slave hissed lucius malfoy do not
10:43speak unless spoken to i don't trust elfish magic for this work some of these objects are invaluable
10:50irreplaceable draka heard a series of soft slaps and knew that dobby was hitting himself bad dobby
10:56bad stupid dobby once when draka was very young she had laughed at the way dobby would always punish
11:03himself so that master malfoy needn't bother to raise a finger to do it himself but as draka grew older
11:09and came to know the sting of the cane herself she no longer found dobby's pain so amusing draka
11:15dared to peek into the drawing room her parents were crouched in the middle of the room a fur-lined
11:21rug
11:21had been pulled aside to reveal a trap door which she'd never seen before the moment that her father
11:26closed it the outline of the trap door vanished along with its handle the whole time dobby continued to
11:33furiously slap his own face bad bad very bad dobby her father's voice was drawing almost bored yes yes
11:41bad dobby now go check on draka and make sure she's asleep i don't want her wandering out of bed
11:47tonight
11:48dobby stopped hitting himself then glanced briefly in draka's direction to draka's horror she saw dobby's
11:54eyes meet hers and ducked behind the doorway yes master dobby will go at once said dobby calmly slowly
12:02dobby began to walk toward the drawing room entrance draka held her breath and started to retreat back
12:08to her bedroom dobby would never play tattletale on draka if he could possibly avoid it of course if the
12:15master of the house ordered his house elf to answer a direct question dobby would have had no choice but
12:20to obey and answer truthfully but dobby had a knack for finding loopholes in the magical laws that bound
12:27him as a slave to lucius malfoy once when draka had broken an antique vase she begged dobby not to
12:34tattle
12:34on her the house elf willingly accepted both the blame and the flogging for the broken vase and then
12:40had punished himself for a whole week but since lucius malfoy had never asked who actually broke the vase
12:46dobby had never outed draka for doing it as dobby backed out of the drawing room bowing he caught
12:52draka's eye does dobby have the master's permission to use apparition and go straight to young mistress
12:58draka's bedroom sir yes yes just get out of my sight dobby that's an order instantly dobby disappeared
13:06with a snap feeling a cold sweat on her brow draka stepped away from the drawing room draka knew that
13:12all
13:13she had to do was get back to her room carefully without her parents seeing her and dobby could
13:18be trusted not to reveal her secret eavesdropping then she bumped against a display that held an
13:23antique vase and it smashed to the floor for a few seconds draka stared at the broken pieces of the
13:30vase draka come join us in the drawing room said her father draka stood tall and strode in just as
13:38if
13:38this had been her plan all along good evening father her father was seated on a high-backed leather
13:44chair gripping his walking stick her mother stood behind him looking aghast draka malfoy please explain
13:51why you are out of bed after being sent to your room said her father draka steeled her breath i
13:58heard
13:58strange noises so i went to investigate i was worried we were being burglarized you have always been an
14:04intellectually curious young lady draka it's no use keeping this from you forever so we might as well
14:10explain our family's situation her mother looked even more worried but with what clearly required an
14:16effort she kept her silence finally her father sighed tell me draka what did you learn about the
14:23legacy of salazar slytherin in school this year surely you must have retained something from history of
14:28magic draka stiffened she wasn't sure what this had to do with either her family or her eavesdropping
14:35but she was happy to change the subject salazar slytherin was one of the four founding members
14:40of hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry along with helga hufflepuff rowena ravenclaw and godrick
14:46griffinder every child born of wizarding parents knows that but salazar slytherin did far more than
14:53found a school of magic he was without a doubt the greatest wizard of his age perhaps of any age
14:58did you
14:59know that merlin himself was one of slytherin's first students draka nodded sure the house of
15:06slytherin has always produced the best her father made a scoffing noise yes the house of slytherin
15:12that is a lovely name but do you ever wonder draka whether slytherin himself would recognize your house
15:18as his whether we are truly worthy to carry on his mighty name draka blinked what do you mean
15:24we're an excellent house the best in the school i understand you have a half-blooded witch in your
15:31class a miss balstrode do you know her draka gulped she's she's in my year big girl looks nearly as
15:39tough
15:39as crabbe and goyle and does miss balstrode demonstrate great talent for the magical arts
15:44in your opinion malfoy shrugged she's all right i guess not as good as me in potions all right you
15:52guess well i suppose that's something but consider draka how much things have changed slytherin himself
15:58insisted upon teaching only pure-blooded students yet in our day and age the house that bears his name
16:05and crest allows half-bloods to enter i admit with so few of us left it may be an unfortunate
16:11necessity
16:11but still her father trailed off then seemed to collect his thoughts this time he spoke in what
16:18draka recognized as the bored drawing voice of a true aristocrat what was slytherin's legacy
16:24what was the moral principle that guided him he slytherin believed that training in the
16:30magical arts should only be offered to those within all magical families
16:35and what do you believe draka this last question took draka completely by surprise
16:40she thought the answer should have been obvious well of course it would be better if all the
16:45students came from wizarding families wouldn't it so that they're brought up knowing our ways
16:50her father leaned forward in his chair and do you know why salazar slytherin only took pure-blooded
16:55witches and wizards as his students struggling to speak draka shook her head her father kept talking
17:02his face grave because for well over a thousand years for as long as magical folk have lived those
17:09without the gift of magic have constantly sought to wipe us out whenever muggles find magic wherever
17:14they find it they cannot bear the knowledge of its existence it is in their nature that is why the
17:20international statute of wizarding secrecy was finally signed into law to protect us from their kind
17:27draka forced herself to nod of course she said i understand why we don't want them to know about
17:33our kind but aren't muggles kind of a joke what can they do to us without magic they have hunted
17:39us
17:39draka they have tortured us they have burned us but i thought there were ways of protecting against
17:46that sure a mob of muggles might catch you but all it took was a simple charm too what if
17:52you lost your
17:53wand draka what if they caught you unawares while you were asleep what if one of them was your
17:58husband or your child and sold you out draka shivered in that case you'd never be safe exactly
18:06that was what salazar slytherin so wisely understood you see draka magic is in our family's blood it has
18:13to be passed down from father to son from mother to daughter and there are so few pure-blooded families
18:18left slowly but surely we are dying out her father gestured to the tapestry above the fireplace it
18:26depicted the malfoy family crest two black dragons surrounding a shield of green and black the crest
18:32stood at the base of a towering tree with long winding branches that stretched up to the ceiling
18:37but as the tree extended outwards its last thin branches came to an end with her own name beneath her
18:43parents names do you understand why this is so important draka why our kind cannot mingle with
18:49their kind draka nodded yes father because sooner or later those who can't understand magic will try to
18:57kill every last spark of magic left in the world or breed it out her father nodded precisely draka you
19:05are finally old enough to understand the grave situation our people are in and now it's time you
19:10understood something else about our family despite being the greatest of the hogwarts four salazar
19:15slytherin's wise counsel did not prevail in the end half-bloods were permitted to enter the school
19:21and even mudbloods with no connection to existing magical families whatsoever those who hold to the
19:27legacy of salazar slytherin understand that in order for our kind to survive pure magical blood must be
19:33carefully preserved but there are those like albus dumbledore who are prepared to sacrifice the survival of our
19:39world rather than do what is necessary to save our kind and they will go to great lengths to persecute
19:46our family because we stand upon this principle we refuse to be ruled over by those who hate our kind
19:52and hate our ways we refuse to submit to those who hate magic we refuse to lie down and die
19:58and we
19:58await the day when the heir of slytherin will return and finally bring an end to the eternal war that
20:04has been waged on our people draka nodded very slowly so what does that mean sir what do we have
20:10to do to protect our family with a graceful motion her father stood up towering over her and gestured
20:17to the dining room table it means we do whatever it takes even if our enemies would call what we
20:23do dark
20:23magic hypocrites as if there is any distinction between their magic and ours that is why your mother
20:29and i have to hide some of these artifacts draka some of these date back to the time of salazar
20:35slytherin himself draka stared at the objects on the table there was a silver shield but as draka
20:41tried to find her reflection in it she saw only a ghostly reflection of an old man looking back at
20:47her
20:47there was an assortment of trophies pendants rings and colorful gems finally there was a stone chalice
20:54filled with a frozen liquid that looked suspiciously like blood his hand shaking her father pulled out
21:00what looked like a small black ledger and flipped through the pages this is your inheritance your
21:06legacy and no one has the right to steal it from you not even the ministry of magic draka felt
21:13her
21:13heart flutter for the first time in her life she sensed that her father was speaking to her as something
21:18more than a simple child and what can i do is there anything i can help hide no draka for
21:25now it's
21:26better if you keep your head low the less you know the better but there is an important question you
21:31can answer for me this christmas when we met you at the hogwarts express you asked me about harry potter
21:36you said that you thought he might be our enemy i was very sorry to hear that i had hoped
21:41with his
21:42lineage suddenly her father seemed to come out of a trance but he kept the black book clutched tight in
21:48his pale white hand i need to know draka is there any doubt in your mind about potter is it
21:54possible
21:54that he might be persuaded to become our ally draka stared at her father outwardly he was calm and
22:00collected but there was a nervous edge to his voice draka shook her head no sir harry potter is our
22:07enemy i'm sure of it slowly her father closed the black book and tucked it back into his coat pocket
22:14almost lovingly thank you you have helped me to make an important decision you may go draka to bed
22:20with you feeling an intense sense of relief draka turned to leave but as she reached the door she
22:27heard her father call to her from behind ah i almost forgot there is just one more matter we need
22:33to
22:33address draka i've warned you countless times before about not eavesdropping dobby come here now
22:40with a crack dobby reappeared in the dining room looking sorrowful lucius picked up his walking
22:46stick and gripped it dobby escort draka to her room and help her prepare herself for another caning
22:52and when i am through you are not to use any healing magic dobby bowed low yes master draka i
23:01used to
23:01give you six strokes for the standard punishment but now that you have turned 12 years old i believe
23:06that 12 strokes would be more fitting as a penalty do you agree draka felt her heart sink then she
23:13turned and bowed her head matching the house elf she had no choice yes father end of chapter one
