A/N: Written at cravache's request based on a recent journal entry:
It had been in his family for generations. Actually in his family. He rolled it around in the palm of his hand. It was boiled after every use, but he imagined there were still traces of his ancestors clinging to the dull silver ball.
He swallowed it, feeling it drop heavily into his ailing stomach. In doing so he swallowed two hundred years of Malfoys, taking in their essences, their powers. He felt better and stronger even before the purging took effect.
Draco always refused to take the Pill. And that, thought Lucius, was why he would always be weak.
