I got out of bed, put on some clothes, and sneaked out. It was around 1 in the morning and I just couldn't sleep. Correction, I haven't been able to sleep. I walked to the Room of Requirement, slid down the door, and cried. Yes, that's right, I cried. Draco Malfoy is crying. Pathetic, right? A disgrace to the Malfoy family the Death Eaters, and humanity in general. There is no place in this world for me because I don't fit in. I'm either too rude, too soft, too kind, or too rough.
I've never fit in. Wouldn't it be better without me? One less worry. One less pathetic person. One less Death Eater. My life has changed. My mom and Lucius are dead. All the Slytherins hate me, no, everyone hates me. Hate is a strong word, but it seems to be the only one that works. These nightmares and thoughts have been causing my suffering lately. Affecting my sleep, and food-eating habits, and caused me to quit quidditch, and the sad part is that no one has noticed.
Tears after tears fell from my eyes, I couldn't stop shaking as small sobs escaped my lips.
"W-why couldn't th-this be o-over after the w-war," I cried.
In reality, I never wanted to join the Death Eaters... I hated them... But Lucius was threatening that he would hurt Mom and me and I couldn't go through that. My whole life has been fucked up really... Abused and rapped by Lucius, ignored by Mom, and cruciod every night till I couldn't feel anything in my body or passed out due to blood loss. Started around the age of 5.... what was it that he said... oh right ' I'm just preparing you for the future, son. I am not going to have a weak son as the air of the Malfoy's bloodline!'.
I look down at the mark. The fact that I wanted to cry so hard about this but refused to let myself do so while in the Manor. Ha! Stupid. I wonder how easily it will go away if i-.
I grabbed my replacement wand (A/n since you know that Harry still has Dracos so now he's just using another one) and summoned a knife. Picking it up, I moved it over to my arm. You should do this. This is what you deserve. Weak. I placed the knife right outside of the death mark, pressed down enough to pierce my skin, and slid it along so that I was making a square around the mark. Once done I placed the knife on a nearby table and watched as blood poured down the side of my arm, mixing with my tears. I then picked up my wand, pointed it down at the mark, and whispered a spell. Within a flash my skin was ripped off, with the mark, my skin regrew, and it was left with a scar; The scar, being pretty big, was lighter than my other skin.
The next thing i knew i fell to my knees again and started crying without any restraints, why should i if no one going to hear me, right? But then i started a panic attack. I put my knees to my chest and curled up. 1...2...3....4 minutes passed. My ears gave out for I couldn't hear anything but the pounding of my heart. My movement also gave out and I couldn't move besides the violent shaking.
"Malfoy?" I weak voice called out. Almost inaudible with the condition i was in. I couldn't turn my head to see who it was.
"MALFOY" The voice got louder and i could tell the person was walking towards me.
"D-Malfoy? A-are you ok?" A hand touched my arm that was wrapped around my head.
Then i recognized that voice... Pottah.
Then something wrapped around me. Arms? He was hugging me?!
And here i was just sitting there, weak, and most vulnerable.
"Shhh~ It's alright. Let it all out." Pottah whispered while placing his head on my shoulder and moving me so that he could hug me properly and i was in his chest.
We stayed like that for around 20 minutes before I relaxed and my sobs subsided. Then I could finally take note of what was going on around me.
I opened my eyes and looked up into the emerald eyes above me.
"I-i-I" I stuttered.
"Is your panic attack over?" He asked with concern covering his usual relaxed features.
"Y-yes," I say while looking around.
"What happened? If you don't mind me asking?" He asked
"J-just had a nightmare. I'm better now." I pulled the sleeve of my shirt over my arm where the scar was. Hoping he didn't see.
His eyes flicked down."What is that?" He asked reaching out.
shit. shit. shit. shit!
"N-nothing!" I said while pulling my arm away.
"Show me." He said sternly.
"No," I said while shaking my head 'no'.
"Yes! I'm not asking you again, Show me Malfoy." He said while again trying to reach out for it.
As I let out a sigh, I couldn't help but wonder about his motivations for helping me. "Why do you care anyway? Why are you doing any of this?" I inquired, locking eyes with him once again. Those beautiful green eyes never failed to captivate me, whether we were in the midst of a heated dispute or simply catching each other's gaze from across the hall. The glimmer and extra shine in his eyes always stood out, perfectly complementing his face. His black hair provided a striking contrast, and his cute smile completed the picture.
His eyes widened. I guess he didn't quite think about that and let his Gryffindor complex take over. "Just because. Also, I no matter who you are, it still makes me uneasy not being able to help you in a state of need. Now, will you show me?" He tilted his head. "I wanna know what's been up with you. You seem um- Less malfoy-ish? No snarky remarks and no bullying lately. I mean I know the war had been difficult for everyone but... i thought that that wouldn't change you. You leave food time earlier and ignore everyone. It's very strange. You know that there are people you can talk to, right? Heck, I wouldn't even mind if you vented or some shit to me. Everyone needs someone to talk to after something like this. I haven't even heard about you or your family after the war. I mean I thought that maybe they would have something in the news about it." He finished what he said while looking into my eyes.
"Pft- and why would anyone care?" I guess he doesn't know about my parents.
"Well, I'm here." He says while sharing a playful smile.
"Hmm whatever" I mumbled.
"Now show me."He points to my arm and I bring it up for him to look.
(A/N Bruh my dog is sleeping and she just barked in her sleep and it scared the shit out of me.😅😭Have I mentioned I'm all alone in the dark at... what time is it- it is 2:07 currently.)
He moves the sleeve up and freezes and I hold my breath in, ready to get laughed at or some shit.
-End of part one!-
