It's Sunday, and you know by now what that means, so I won't prattle on. :)
Here's the preview:
“Can
I trust you?” Severus arched an eyebrow and stared at the boy, who stared right
back.
“Yes,”
he said slowly. Draco stared at him a moment longer and then nodded once.
“That’s
true,” he said, looking relieved. Severus wasn’t sure if it was true or not,
but at the moment, Draco’s trust was likely a good thing so Severus wasn’t
about to challenge his decision. “So does that mean I can trust Mother?”
“Pardon?”
Severus drawled.
“Something...
happened,” Draco said uncertainly. “It was yesterday. I lied to Father about
it.”
“And
he believed you?” Draco’s chin came up again.
“I
didn’t blink once,” he said proudly. Severus hid a smirk and gestured for his
godson to continue. “Once I’d lied, I couldn’t take it back.” Severus suspected
both Draco’s pride and his self-preservation instincts were the reason for
that, and couldn’t decide if it was more Slytherin or more Gryffindor of him.
“It’s a- it’s something that should be a secret... and Father’s always said to
keep secrets for when we have to tell them to get something... only that’s not
why I did it.”
Enjoy!
