Title: Parents Grief
Author: bloodonmyarms
Prompt Set: 50.4
Prompt: #037 Alone
Word Count: 106
Summary: Parents grieve, and the Dark Lord likes it.
When the Dark Lord gives you a job to do, it's all you. You don't get any help, no instruction. It's all up to you.
That's why Narcissa was so worried about Draco. It wasn't so much that he could die - it was that he could die all alone. The thought that she couldn't be there for her son killed her. But then therein lies the subtle cruelty of the Dark Lord, the knowledge that there are many ways to grieve - and He enjoys every last one. And he will relish watching Narcissa and Lucius fall apart just as much as watching the scared Draco shatter.
