Melinda's expression grew more horrified as she listened until a hand came up to cover her mouth as she could hardly imagine such a thing happening, but the fact that Draco had been forced to watch... she had heard a few smaller bits from Lucius in their sessions, working towards the bigger stuff as he trusted her more, but this?

So she did the natural thing and stood up, walking over and scooping up the young man into a hug. Well, natural to her, because she gave a soft crooning as well, her instinct to calm and soothe. While she wouldn't have hugged Lucius, obviously, this was a young man who clearly needed a bit more physical affection in his life.

"I am so sorry you were forced to witness such a thing, Draco. It should never have been."
