Draco Malfoy has always had a stone, cold look on his face. He always looked as if he had no emotions whatsoever. Ever since I first met him, he was like that. He's always been a sarcastic, arrogant, egotistical, narcissistic, manipulative, annoying little shit, but on the other hand, I can tell that he's misunderstood, lost, and in need of help.
I've seen a side of him that no one else has. He doesn't know that I've seen the good side of him. He didn't mean for me to see his vulnerable side, but I did. I know he can be a good guy. He's just misunderstood and... misguided. He has a horrible father, who's a horrible role model.
He grew up in a broken household, and he became what he knew.... a bully....
I'm not gonna lie... I feel really bad. I can tell he wants to be different, but... he needs help to figure out how. He knows nothing else. He doesn't know how to be different, and I really wanna help him, but... sadly, he won't let me in. He won't let me help. He doesn't wanna admit that he needs help...
However... when I catch him with a different expression, besides stone and cold, everything changes.... especially him...
His expression is almost....
soft...
"Draco Malfoy was ice. His skin was pale, his features were sharp, and his words were cold. He bit out insults and harsh truths like it was his role in life to do so, and his cool expression would tell you that he thought nothing of it. He was harsh, unforgiving. Ice.
But when you met up with him, in free hours between classes or after dark, in the room of requirements or in the astronomy tower, there was a heat that thawed his cold apathy, a burning type of heat when his fingers dragged through your hair or over your skin, intense. And then he was fire. He was untamed and untamable, unquenchable, and it left you without breath.
But no matter what type of seizing extreme he was, Draco Malfoy was unattainable. Yours only as long as the flames were alight or the ice was mind numbing, encompassing. And when it had struck you that that wasn't enough, that he was an unpredictable constant you desired in more ways than you had both settled upon, Draco Malfoy was only ice..."
