Draco

I entered the house in silence, quietly stepping on the marble floor in the hall as I waited for the storm.

"Your father asked for you in his office," a voice said behind me. I turned my head and clenched my jaw as Wormtail's words sunk in. I listened to the fading sounds of his footsteps as he left me alone.

Darkness was lurking from the window, and everything around me seemed like a world of shadows.

My heart skipped a beat as I started walking towards the office, silence consuming the house on my way. I stopped as I reached the enormous black door.

I reached for the door handle, sinking the lump in my throat as I entered the room.

"You asked for me, Father?"

The tall blonde man's gaze flew to me. There was no hint of surprise in his eyes as he made me look at him. He looked at the green chair in front of his desk and invited me to sit.

"I was so tremendously shocked to get a phone call from the Headmaster Dumbledore today," my father's voice cut through the silence.

Shit.

"You know at first I assured him that there must've been some kind of mistake. But then he told me that there isn't."

I didn't dare look at him.

"Care to explain?"

I felt the room spin as my vision seemed to darken. I straightened my back and looked out the windows. Cars were driving by, lights flickering by the road. I looked back at him and breathed.

"I got into a fight," I said. His gaze still rested on me. My heart thundered as he started walking around in the small office.

His cold eyes forced me to meet him.

"With whom?" He said, his voice so low it was almost a dark whisper.

"Potter."

No explanation was needed.

"I see."

My heart sped up as he came closer to me, his stare not breaking once. I looked at the corner instead. A green spiral vase was placed on a brown desk and currently took up all the attention from my eyes.

"And who started it?" he continued.

"Me."

"Why?"

"He took something from me," I said, blinking at the ground.

"And this little event caused your desire to make such a public appearance?"

"I'm sorry, Father."

A burning pain ran through my cheek as my father's cold, hard palm struck my face.

"How dare you disgrace the Malfoy name in such a manner!?" My father burst out. The words hit just as hard as his hand.

"I didn't mean-"

"You don't get to speak," he cut me off.

"This is your last chance, Draco. If I get one more call from Hogwarts, saying you've been in trouble, I'm afraid you won't be attending Hogwarts any longer."

"Yes, Father," I said, the words slowly finding their way into my head.

He stepped even closer, and I turned my head away, my skin burning in the movement.

"Am I being clear?"

"Of course, Father."

"Good. You may leave."

And so I did.

That whole evening I don't think a single thought came to me. Not about Potter, not about Blaise, not about Hogwarts. It was just emptiness floating among the darkness. Simple nothingness. But I believed it had been like that for some time now. But maybe if I kept waiting, just for a little while longer, that would soon change.
