Summary
Lucius Malfoy is one year out from starting at Hogwarts. In the decade since his mother died bearing him, Lucius' father has engaged a series of Muggle-born governess. The latest of these witches is one Robena March, the fifth in a line inexplicable in light of Abraxas' stance on the matter, although all of Lucius' prior governesses have departed under mysterious circumstances. Over time, Robena's position within Malfoy Manor becomes increasingly perilous, even as she and Lucius form a tight, familial bond. Lucius' ideas of love and loyalty are tested time and again, forcing him to choose between the only type of mother he's ever known and a cruel father who nonetheless holds the Malfoy dynasty in his hands, a dynasty born of ancient and sacred blood that Lucius must one day helm.
Druella found herself smiling at Robena sympathetically. “My dear, it’s the Malfoys. You may fight, you may even land a curse or two, but you don’t get to win. They didn’t rise to becoming the most dominant pureblood family in wizarding history by being anything less than completely merciless.”
