His parents had to go.
Draco's return to Hogwarts took much longer than his trip to Hogsmeade. By the time he returned, the pain had completely faded, and a new determination had risen within him. The bonds of loyalty Draco lived his life by had been shattered. His father had not treated him as a pureblood, let alone a family member. He'd been treated like a muggle, like a mudblood, for standing up for the very ideals his father espoused!
A nagging suspicion tore at Draco's thoughts, that his father could care less about blood purity. His father just choose an excuse to treat most of the world like dirt. Like pawns. Like him.
Well, Draco wasn't going to just let it happen. He wasn't going to just sit there and let someone have this power over him. His father had to die for the insult and the pain. His mother was just a bad, she let this happen. Well, maybe Mother didn't know what Father was doing. Maybe she would have stopped him. Maybe she couldn't stop him, because Father was doing it to her too. . .
Or maybe she would be just as bad a Father.
Well, he'd show them. He didn't need his father. Sure, Lucius Malfoy's position commanded respect, but the real power behind the Malfoy name had always been money. If Draco ended up inheriting that money, then he would be the one in control. Of course, in order to pull that off, he'd need allies immune to money's power. Fortunately, his father provided a list of them. Dumbledore and the Weasley family topped the short list; presumably the Hellsing family could be added as well.
The worst part of the entire situation was it meant he'd have to deal with mudbloods and muggle lovers. Still, as long as they understood that the enemy of their enemy was a friend, it could work out. It wasn't like he had to socialize with them.
Dealing with his father would be easy. He just had to disobey the old man and report for another bout of punishment. The bastard would be caught in the act of using an unforgivable curse, and with allies immune to bribery, he'd be convicted and sent to Azkaban. Mother was the problem. How could Draco know how she'd act with Father gone? What is she loved Father more than him? How could he have her killed or arrested? Well, he'd find a way. No one treated Draco Malfoy that way. And once he'd taken care of his parents, then he'd see how he could make Integra Hellsing's life uncomfortable.
