Things had not been going the way he had planned, not at all. This was not how he had envisioned his first year at Hogwarts going.
He was supposed to be respected, revered, and treated like a prince in the Slytherin house.
He was the heir to Malfoy after all but that had all changed when he lost the duel to Black.
What little respect he had gained had completely vanished as soon as he had lost the duel and his position as heir to House Malfoy.
Since the duel he had been treated as the lowest of the low, he had lost all his allies, well not all he still had Crabbe and Goyle but that was only because he was still a Malfoy and their three houses had an alliance, but it wasn't like he could rely on them for much other than muscle.
Any potential negotiating power he had for making allies had vanished along with his status and with it any chances of him rising within Slytherins ranks once again.
He had sent a letter to his mother asking for advice, he had first thought to send a letter to his father but Severus had advised him against doing so.
His father was less than pleased with this mess that he had caused, and while he thought it unfair he could see his reasoning.
He was waiting for her response before he made his next move, he wanted to make Black pay for this but he wasn't stupid.
The duel had shown him that he couldn't take Magnus in a fair fight, he wasn't so deluded to think that it was a fluke that he won.
He wanted to make someone pay for this but he knew he needed to be patient for the time being, one thing that he learned at his father's knee.
If you didn't have allies nor the power to take your enemy down yourself, you had to wait until your enemy showed a weakness you could exploit.
So that's what he would do, he would watch and wait for the right time to strike and then he would have his revenge.

Narcissa Malfoy nee Black was not a happy woman.
She hadn't been a happy woman ever since her parents had arranged her marriage to Lucius all those years ago after she had made the mistake on praising his appearance and cunning to her parents in the summer of her first year at Hogwarts, and by the time she returned to the castle for her second year they were betrothed.
Of course, she had expected to be betrothed at some time, it was to be expected really, and she had tried to make the best of it.
She had made sure that her parents had worded the contract in a specific way so that she would be taken care of and would live a life of luxury with very little responsibilities beyond the basics.
The one role she had in the marriage was to produce an heir for house Malfoy, or as she had made sure to have it worded was to give birth to a Malfoy.
And with recent events, it was a good thing she did.
When Lucius had returned to the manor after overseeing the duel between Draco and this new Black Heir he had been furious.
He had informed her that Draco was no longer heir Malfoy due to an oath he had taken to save face after a comment from the young Heir Black.
After hearing that she had expected what was to come next when he approached her with his plan to birth another heir for the house to reinstate Draco.
She had immediately drawn her wand on him much to his shock before informing him that she would play no part in his plan.
When he had tried to quote their contract she had recited the actual wording of the contract and explained that she had upheld her end of it when Draco was born.
That if he wanted to follow through on his plan, he would have to find another woman to give birth to his second heir.
When he had drawn his wand in his rage she had disarmed him and stunned him. And she had to admit that both felt good.
After years of putting up with his cold attitude and biting her tongue when it came to raising Draco.
She had left him in his office after that and had secluded herself in her room ever since then, relying on the house-elves for her daily needs while she planned her own next move.
She knew that she couldn't stay here for much longer, nor could Draco.
With the loss of his heir status it meant that he was now expendable should Lucius decide that his idea to produce a second heir to fix this mistake was better as a replacement.
She knew she would need to think up some way for them to get out of this, and her first thought was to seek sanctuary with her former house.
She was still a child of House Black and Draco was as well by blood.
She could send a letter to him and ask for his aid in this matter.
If he was willing to bring Andromeda back into the house then it meant that he valued family above traditions she could use that.
While she might have been upset about his taking Draco's position as Heir Black she wasn't going to allow what little anger she had for the fact blind her to her current situation.
Lucien had yet to attempt to get into her private quarters but she knew that was only because of the wards she had erected in the hallway outside and the strengthening charms she had added to the doors themselves.
She made sure to reapply them every night before she went to sleep for her own safety.
As her Lord, Lucien would face no consequence should he force himself on her, she was his wife and she had no doubt that she would find any support in the winzingamot should she cry rape.
