Broken Window

The Room at Spinner’s End
Through a broken window that rain water pounded into, a weeping blond boy sat
in a dark dingy room on the street entitled Spinner’s End. Greasy, matted-blond
tresses were in total disarray, grey orbs leaked tears that fell upon bent
knees. A single boy sat, his back against the headboard, his cheeks atop his
knees where his chest was pressed against his legs. The knees of his black
trouser pants were soaked in cold tears.
Under the only window, where wind was being blown into the room, sat a puddle
of rainwater beneath the dirty broken glass. That nippy wind was chilling the
boy to the bone, as his thin black linen pants did not keep out the cold.
“You disappointed me, Draco.” A voice from the tattered doorway spoke. The
blond did not seem to hear him as he recited the speech that had fallen on the
deaf ears of the child sitting before him.
For the boy with blonde hair was just a child; not even seventeen when he had
been given the job to kill one of the most powerful wizards in the world. Those
simple words: ‘He’s going to kill me’ kept on repeating within the child’s
head. But the boy still remembered what Dumbledore had said. Wild, grey eyes
looked toward the tattered doorway, a man with black greasy locks sat in the
doorframe his mouth moving to unheard words that had been uttered many times
before. Then the orbs focused its attention on the broken window, the window
had a large hole that the blond could possibly fit his head through. There was
no doubt that the boy could fit through the window if it was opened.
“I’d be surprised if the Dark Lord didn’t kill you.” With those words the
black-haired man left, slamming the door shut as the rusty hinges gave a loud,
screeching protest.
Suddenly a blond boy jumped from the bed, his eyes set on the broken glass
panel. The Window would not open due to the age and the swollen wood. Thunder
shook the ground and the boy punched the glass, the pain was not felt due to
the adrenaline rushing through his body. The sounds of breaking glass were
swallowed by the storm. He punched the window pane again with his blood soaked
fist. The hole was now big enough for the slender boy to jump through.
Without second thought the boy dived out the window. A sickening crack was
heard only by the blond wizard as his arm contacted with the tree on his way
out of the two story house. When he connected to the ground the blond rolled so
that he would not break his legs or neck. The pain in neither his hand nor his
broken arm was felt as the boy got up. For a moment the blond looked up at the
house of his favorite teacher, and mentor before turning around to gaze at the
over-flowing, dirty lake.
The blond only had one thought ‘If he can’t find me… he can’t kill me.’
With that the blond took off into the night at blinding speed, the dilapidated
house was left behind him, the lights from the busted windows soon could no
longer be seen behind. Screams of a woman when she entered the room several
hours later were never heard by the blond boy, for the house was long out of
sight and the only sounds were that of a dissipating storm and the sharp intake
and outtake of oxygen.
He had forgotten to put on shoes and his now bloody and muddy feet were paying
the price, he had no idea how long he had been running, but his adrenaline was
still pumping. The blonde started to feel the dull ache of his hand, and the
searing pain in his hand, but it did not stop him.
That cold that had once seeped through the broken window now suffocated his
body and kept his feet numb; pain that would be radiating off them was not
there due to the fact that the blond could not even feel the steps he was
taking. He had lost count at one thousand seven hundred thirty-two, and that
step seemed to be ages ago. As the boy ran he did not slow his pace, but his
legs felt like jelly as each step sent shockwaves up his black-linen clad legs.
The blond then reached a forest, knowing his track could be even more lost if
he were to escape into the deep forest he jumped over the broken log in his way
not even stopping to think what may lye inside these woods, or what maybe on
the other side. Branches whipped at his legs, arms, and his face. One hit his
lip causing a sharp intake of air and the pain busted through his whole mouth.
Branches cut at his clothing tearing bits of his pants off. Without thinking he
tore off his shirt as to not leave too much of a trail. Branches impaled his
pale chest leaving gashes, red marks, and scratches. Then he tore off his black
linen pants, throwing them aside, slowing briefly as he covered his groin with
his arm that was not broken, shielding it’s nakedness from getting impaled by
the leaves and sharp, knife-like branches.
The boy ran, twigs stabbing his feet, bits of them getting stuck up the heel
and soft padding of his feet. Tears mingled with sweat and rain caressed his
face. He ran eyes shutting when a branch was about to hit his face, as pain
bubbled all over his body. Soon he couldn’t hold it in, he let out a strangled
sob as he ran naked, his pace only slowing down a fragment.
Wheezing the boy opened his eyes only to be struck by another branch. He
started to cough up blood, while weeping as he reached the end of the forest,
he ran his pace slowing down dramatically as he reached a field. All the pain
bombarded him at once, and he started to sob even harder. His broken arm was
limp at his side; his other hand, bloody from punching out the window, still
covered his nakedness from view.
All the loss of blood and lack of food started to catch up to the boy. He was
exhausted from all the running. He collapsed face first into the soft muddy
ground. Slowly coughing up more blood he turned his head to the side, gasping
for breath as his lungs burned. He let out a few curse words, and let the
darkness that had been ebbing its way into his eyes finally over take him.

Thanks for betaing this Ayumi!

Broken Window

The Meeting at the Burrow
A bespectacled boy was leaning against a doorframe watching the sky where grey
clouds roamed the blue horizon; he let out a soft groan as he looked down at
the muddy ground. It was still raining and had been for quite sometime now. The
rain had been on and off all month, the raven-haired boy cast a wanting glance
at the broom shed where his Firebolt sat unused for the better part of two
weeks.
The boy with the glasses couldn’t get over his obsession with Malfoy; he was
constantly looking out into the brown yard that had once been green and full of
gnomes. He still constantly checked his map even though there was no one
anywhere within the school. Harry sometimes would have restless nights,
thinking where the blond-haired boy could be. Often times the‘chosen one’ would
roll around within the confines of his twin sized bed, flipping onto his
stomach and then rolling upon his back, until finally he would sit up. Then, in
an instant, twist his head to the right checking to see if Ron was still asleep
and creep over to where his trunk sat. Grabbing what seemed to be a wooden rod
and a worn, old piece of parchment, he’d sit. With his back against the lumpy
pillow he’d stare at the map, just watching and waiting for the small words
“Draco Malfoy” to appear. All night he’d sit, but never did the dot appear, and
never did the boy’s face show in the now brown gardens or fields.
The boy with the green eyes that had been sparkling all those years ago, but
now had dimmed, let out a soft sigh and he placed his head against the door
frame looking past the trees at the grey clouds but seeing nothing.
A long strain of curses was heard from behind the boy and he looked over to see
the red hair and long nose of his best friend. “How are we going to have this
wedding if this rain keeps on falling? We were going to have an outside wedding
because of the guests we had invited!”
“Honestly Ron, you’d think you’d have more sense!” Both boy’s turned around to
see the bushy mane of the girl who had struck the red-head’s fancy. The girl
didn’t utter a word just simply flicked her wrist and soon there seemed to be a
barrier outside keeping the ground from becoming wet. Harry stepped outside
under the half egg shaped barrier and grinned.
“You’re brilliant Hermione!” the green-eyed boy shouted, he didn’t realize that
his friends were smirking and Ron nudge the smarter girl who still had her wand
out. Suddenly a downpour was upon the bespectacled boy who let out a small
surprised scream. The scowling boy walked in drenched, trudging mud all over
the clean kitchen floor. “Good to see you here, Hermione.” The boy’s hair fell
into his face as silvery-blue droplets caressed it and were hugging the frame
of his glasses.
The soaking wet boy gave her a hug and she let out a squeal as the cold water
transferred onto her thin pajamas. Then suddenly with a great bolt of energy
the black-haired boy then grabbed his redhead friend and threw Ron out the
door, effectively causing the tallest boy to fall over into the mud. Harry
picked up the girl and threw her on top of the now soppy and muddy boy. The
girl’s bushy hair was now soaking wet as rain pounded down; her hair was now
straight and the boy’s cheeks bellow her had a slight tint of pink in them that
he would blame on the cold.
“I’ll get you Potter!” The redhead yelled, as he helped Hermione get up from
the rain wet ground. He looked over and saw the shoeless feet of the retreating
black-haired boy’s frame. Ron was wearing a soaking wet pair of blue boxers and
an equally wet and muddy t-shirt. The girl standing next to him nodded and took
off, her slippers making clacking noises as she ran towards the boy clad in
only green boxers.
Harry’s laugh could be heard through the field overtop the storm, as his
friends started to catch up with him. The warm rain caused his glasses to fog
up as he now ran blindly through the field. Suddenly he tripped over something
and fell tumbling a few feet in the slippery mud.
“You okay Harry?” called out the voice of his best mate Ron. Suddenly he heard
two twin gasps. Harry cleaned his glasses and looked over at the startled faces
of his best friends. The thing he had tripped over was the body of none other
then his rival and obsession Draco Malfoy.
Harry almost gave a yelp of glee as he looked down at the blond, whom was the
object of his obsession. He felt his spirits rise as he looked down to see the
naked teen. Harry then realized how beat up the boy was, his feet seemed to be
bear of skin and raw, crimson patches were all over his limp body. Harry’s eyes
met the curve of the boy’s rear and felt the monster within his chest give a
slight growl. The boy simply ignored the monster and turned, looking around
subconsciously for Ginny that the monster was obviously growling for.
Hermione quickly cast a spell that went unheard by anyone, and soon the blond
was suspended in an upright position. Horror filled Harry’s stomach as he
looked at the boy’s body that was covered in mud and dry blood. Dark crimson
and soft mud was stuck to his mouth and chin. When they looked harder the saw a
bright red color trickling out his mouth, mixing with the rain. His hair was
soaking wet, the rain seem to have cleared it of all the grease and leaves were
scattered about in the light blond hairs. The blond silvery strands were
sticking to his face and neck. The girl ran quickly back into the house, the
levitating frame of Draco Malfoy behind her.
She ran as fast as she could, ignoring the protests of Ron behind her, Harry
looked at the boy who was becoming smaller and smaller until he disappeared
into the rickety house that seemed to be oscillating as the wind picked up. The
top part of the house swaying precariously upon where it was perched, Harry
turned to see his red-haired friend cursing.
Harry started to snicker at the sight of his best friend’s nose, where a line
of dirt was. Harry was reminded about the first train ride that seemed so far
away yet it was only several years ago.
“What are you laughing at Harry? Bloody Malfoy is in my house! In my house.
Merlin’s beard!” The red head cursed, and looked at his chuckling friend, “Oh
shut up Harry.” With that the red-head stormed away into the house, while Harry
just fell back into the mud.
His eyes were shut tight as he let out a sigh, and then he opened his eyes
watching as the raindrops fell upon his glasses, shielding his eyes from the
downpour of water. The boy grinned despite the small chill he was experiencing,
and looked towards the house, his cheek nestled in warm mud.
Later that day Harry walked out of the shower, a white towel wrapped around his
slender hips, and walked into Fred and George’s room where he had been staying
only to see the blond haired teen within the confides of the other bed. It
looked like his best friend’s mother had patched him up, dressed him, and sent
him to bed. The sleeping teen wasn’t moving except the intake and outtake of
each breath and occasionally a shudder.
Harry stared at the boy fascinated by him, after a moment he tore his emerald
orbs away from the child before him and dropped the fluffy white towel to the
floor. He bent over to retrieve his boxers when he heard the boy behind him
begin to stir. The sound of someone yawning and stretching on the squeaky bed
echoed in Harry’s ears as he hastily pulled on the nearest pair of boxers,
almost tumbling over as he turned around and peered at his room mate.
Harry nearly laughed as the boy threw the sheets over his head as if trying to
ward out the monsters like a five year old child. But in the cold silence of
the room Harry could hear the unmistakable sounds of someone trying to make no
noise as he sobbed quietly. The blanket that was pulled over the teen shook
slightly, and Harry just stood there thinking of the time he had caught the boy
before him crying in the bathroom. He pictured the angelic face without the
mask, tears running from silver colored eyes, the same eyes that had once
ridiculed him but now held so much emotion. Harry wished that he could tear the
sheet off the blond teen and look just once more at the tears upon that face.
But the raven-haired boy didn’t, he simply pulled on a black shirt along with a
pair of too big jeans that were held onto his slim hips by a worn leather belt.
He gave one last glance at the quaking bed sheets before slowly and silently
closing the door behind him.
“Can you believe it!” Harry heard as he walked down the stairs on his toes as
to not make much noise, “Sodding Malfoy sharing my brother’s room with my best
mate!” Harry turned the corner sharply to see Ron flailing his arms madly,
making rude gestures as he talked to the bushy haired girl that had struck his
fancy. “I mean of all the people, bloody sodding Malfoy had to show up! I mean
is it enough that he basically murdered our Headmaster?” Ron seemed to be
throwing a fit as Hermione pressed her lips into a thin line, scowling at the
redhead.
Harry, not wanting to get into the discussion knowing full well that they
wouldn’t listen to anything he had to say about Malfoy, turned and went through
the kitchen door. Harry watched as Mrs. Weasley flicked her wand this way and
that way as she sent things flying and spoons turning all over the stove. Harry
didn’t want to interrupt her incantations so he just walked back upstairs on
his toes. He was at a loss what to do, not wanting to return to his room he sat
down on the staircase, placing his head against the wall and closing his eyes.
He knew it was going to be a long couple weeks.

The Wedding at the Fields

He was staring up at the white ceiling there was a brown spot on it that was
driving the pale boy who was lying in bed insane. He wanted to get up out of
the clashing red and orange sheets and clean the spot, but he knew that it
wasn’t his place to do such a travail job such as cleaning a Weasley’s house.
It was ludicrous that he was even in the house of these blood traitors, the
blond haired boy glared at the brown spot some more trying to see if he
concentrated enough that it would disappear.
The boy just laid there sprawled across the bed his legs open and his left arm
falling over the side as he let his eyes wander
He looked over at the bed that sat on his left; it was a small bed much like
the one he was currently lying in. He missed the simple comforts of the Manor
where he had grown up, the big beds, decent sized bathroom, and the
uncomfortable chairs. Out of all the things in that house it was in fact the
uncomfortable chairs that the blond missed the most. The blond nearly laughed
at the fact that he was lying in a small bed and all he could think about were
the uncomfortable leather chairs back at the Manor.
The silver-eyed boy did know one thing, he was glad he was away from the frigid
house that sat in Spinner’s End. He did miss his Potions Master, but not that
much to crawl back through that broken window. Draco looked down at his healed
arm; it had been a couple of days since he had arrived in stalkers collapsed in
the middle of a muddy field. The blond felt better, but he still remembered
when he had woken up.

The first thing the blond had noticed was that he was on his back in a soft
mattress, then as he turned his head he watched as a person walked over to a
dresser. The person’s tan legs crept out bellow the off-white color towel. As
he stared at the tan feet he suddenly realized that the off-whit towel had been
dropped, alarm bells started ringing so the blond turned to his side and let
out a large, fake, and rather loud yawn. When the blond looked over to see
Potter stumble into view Draco’s eyes went wide and he threw the covers over
himself.

The boy suddenly shook his head trying to get rid of the images; he especially
didn’t want to remember what he had done after he threw the covers over his
head. The boy let out a soft sigh and sat up. He had been enjoying just staying
in bed and solely getting up to go to the bathroom, but today was a different
day. Today was the day before a big wedding.
Ms. Weasley had been extremely nice; she had told him to stay off his feet for
a couple days. The blond knew full well that the scars all over his pale skin
would never go away, but his feet were the worst. As the blond took a step into
the shower he let his gaze fall to his pale slender feet. His high arch was
still covered in fresh-pink scars, his heels still held their dark crimson
scabs, the blond didn’t flinch like he use to with each step he took. He looked
his legs up and down, they were not unaffected by his run, but they were the
least. Pale pink scars ran up and down the bruised skin, but the blond could
look no further. The first time he had seen his chest he had nearly burst into
tears right then and his arms were no better. The pale boy leaned slightly
against the shower wall and bit his lip to keep the whimper from escaping his
throat.
Draco couldn’t even look at his face, he knew that it would be scarred as well,
and he could only take a certain amount of trauma a day. But he was safe now.
He was safe.
Today was the blessed Weasley prep day for the joyous occasion that was a
wedding; Draco knew that he would have to attend the festival that would only
permit the breading of another bunch of blood-traitor children. Soon the blond
stepped out of the shower, an off-white towel wrapped around his waist as he
walked back into the room where his rival lay asleep. Draco smirked at the fact
that if he wanted to he could walk around naked and his rival would never know.
The silver eyed boy dropped his towel to the floor and pranced over to the
dresser, suddenly he remembered that he had no clothes except the pajamas he
had been wearing for the past couple days.
Scowling Draco walked over to the tattered old trunk, the boy let his gaze fall
upon the still sleeping teen before scrunching his nose up and throwing the
trunk open. The blond cursed as he looked at the Gryfindor’s belongings, if
there was any order it was only the owner that could find anything. Draco let
out a deep sigh and looked at the rolls of parchment, old ink bottles that had
been left open in turn spilling it’s contents on the walls of the trunk and
balled up papers. Cursing again he stood up, Draco was not going to put his
hands into that mess to try to find clothes. He opened up the dresser to be
bombarded by the sight of red boxers, and deep blue briefs. The blond let out a
laugh, his rival wore briefs!
Draco suddenly realized, his rival wore briefs, the blonds face started to heat
up and he slammed the drawer shut. Realizing how much noise he had made he
looked over to see the brunette starting to stir in his sleep, more curses flew
from the blonds scarred lips. He rushed over to where the fallen towel was and
hastily threw it around himself before disappearing out the door to find the
lady of the house.
The silver-eyed boy rushed down a narrow staircase not careing as he stomped
making tons of noise. The sounds brought Mrs. Weasley to the staircase she
looked up to see a very disheveled looking Draco Malfoy. His hair that was
normally stuck against his head was brushing against his shoulders with every
step he took, and his face that was indeed scowling looked somewhat tired and
broken. The cuts that had been healed left pink scars in their wake upon the
blonde’s face. “Oh Draco,” Mrs. Weasley finally said, “what are you doing?”
The blonde’s scowl deepened at the lady’s words, “I have no clothes… I was
wondering if I could barrow someone’s until I get my own.” She seemed to be
deep in thought as she dried off her hands on the blue towel that was on her
green apron. She walked past Draco and he followed not touching anything if he
could help it.
Suddenly the red-head turned and went into his and Harry’s room, “Well Draco,
unless you want to wear Ginny’s clothes you are gonna have to make do with
Harry’s.” The blonde’s jaw dropped, “Yes I know that Harry is quite taller then
you, he has grown up so much. Draco grimaced as she pulled out a pair of jeans
and a rather large grey shirt. The grey shirt had words about some muggle body
shop printed upon them, the blond let out a small growl in the back of his
throat.
“There is no way.” Suddenly she pulled open the cursed white colored wood back
and asked him to pick which type of underwear he wore, if he wore any at all.
Draco crinkled his nose at the thought of sharing Potter’s boxers so the blond
simply shook his head and then walked over to the bathroom.
Draco walked out of the blue tiled room and was soon standing on the white tile
where two beds laid next to each other, the blond sat against a grey lumpy
pillow and brought his knees to rest against his chest. He closed his eyes and
then took his left hand, resting it atop his right knee. The jeans were several
inches too long and covered his small scarred feet. The pale boy looked at the
gashes all along his arm they hadn’t healed with magic; Mrs. Weasley had told
him that he was going to have to let those cuts heal the normal way.
Draco’s head fell to his left side, resting against the shoulder that the grey
shirt didn’t cover. Pale skin peeked out of the large neck, this skin as not
marred with any type of cut or bruise. It was unmarked. Draco let out a soft
sigh and wrapped his right arm across his stomach gripping the left side of his
body with slender fingers. The blond started to drift off into sleep as his
left hand fell off his knee to rest upon his inner thigh.
Draco woke up to someone poking his side, “Malfoy you have a letter. Get the
bloody owl to stop bloody poking me.” Draco looked over to see his potions
master’s owl pecking Potter in the head. Draco took the letter and let his
silver orbs fall on the words.

Draco,
You realize that running away was probably the worst thing you could’ve done,
especially for your mother. She has to deal with the Dark Lord now thanks to
you. If you are reading this now you should be pleasantly noted that I’m
honestly disappointed that you are not dead, but I know that it is only a
matter of weeks before the Dark Lord hunts you down. It is not hard finding a
snitch if you know where to look.
We are onto your trail.
Draco let his eyes fall closed as he took in a shaking breath, until he snapped
his eyes open once he heard a steady crash to his left. Potter had fallen over
trying to get the pesky owl out of his room. The blonde’s lips curled up
slightly at the sight of Potter sprawled across the floor, his hair more of a
mess then usual, his legs up in the air, and arms twisted under his body in an
odd, painful angle. A small drizzle of blood fell from his chin as he attempted
to get up from his place on the floor. Curses fell from a crimson, blushing,
contorted face as he rubbed his banged up elbows and knees with flat-palmed,
tan, rough hands.
The blond hair boy grinned despite himself and got up from were he had been
sleeping, loud cracks, and snaps were heard as he stretched his soar back. His
knee let out a protest in a form of a loud pop as he stood straitening is
unused joints. Draco struggled to keep the pants up and then as he looked to
the right he took the belt that was waiting on Potter’s bed, obviously the teen
was going to change into his clothes for the day once Draco left, but the
blonde grinned and pulled the belt through the loops of the pale blue jeans
despite the protesting black-haired boy who was now sitting on the floor.
Suddenly he was handed some ribbon and told to tie it onto the end of the
banister, at the sight of the lacy, white, hideous ribbon Draco scrunched up
his nose and dropped it to the ground only to be hounded by the plump, red-
haired woman who had handed him the obscure thing. He quickly picked up the
ribbon with his thumb and index finger, giving the old lady a boorish jester
with his other hand when she turned her back. Draco found it oddly humorous as
he stood tying the ribbon into frilly, repulsive bows that the red-heads seemed
to be in some crazy rat-race with each other and that the house seemed to be in
total chaos in trying to get ready for this so-called delightful event. Draco
chucked as the door-bell went off and a mob of red-heads scurried to see who
was there, dropping everything they had been doing despite how many people were
at the crowded door already.
Draco was dressed in black pants that actually fit him, but they were not his.
He had been apprehensive, and appalled by the fact that he had to wear
Weaselette’s clothes for the wedding that was currently taking place. Dressed
in tight, black, flared legged pants the boy who already looked effeminate
appeared even more feminine then usual. Giggling was heard to his left and he
looked at a red-haired girl who had a ruffled pink dress on covered in large
orange flowers that clashed horrendously with her red hair.
Sighing Draco looked to the right and stared at the fields, he hadn’t been
outside since the incident when he was found by his worst enemies no less.
Draco couldn’t say that if he and Potter had traded places that day that he
would’ve done the same thing as his black-haired roommate. Looking towards the
boy in question Draco saw that Harry was wiping his cheeks, Draco smirked at
the sight.
It had been a long time since the blond had smirked, he was beginning to
question why he ever stopped; it was such a wonderful feeling after all. The
smirk soon turned into a sneer as he saw the part-human and muggle-lover kiss
as white flower petals descended through the air, catching themselves in the
blond veela’s hair. Grey eyes darted toward where Harry was once seated to find
the boy in an intense hug, Draco’s stomach churned slightly as he saw one of
the red-heads bend over to kiss the chosen-one’s cheek. Draco turned around and
stormed away, his black, barrowed, broken, and torn trainers dripping wet as he
ran into the rain. Eyes followed the blonde’s flee towards the woods, he
slumped against a tree and slid to his knees.
Draco didn’t understand this feeling, the sickening churn of his stomach, the
narrowing of his eyes, the growling that faintly could be heard from his throat
as he saw Harry lean forward and place a kiss on one of the Weasley twin’s
cheeks only for the taller, redhead boy to turn his face so that Harry’s lips
descended onto his own. The rain started to poor harder as Draco sat in quiet
silence. He just didn’t understand, slowly he looked up into the rain only a
single thought ran through his head as he felt the beginnings of a headache.

The Anger at the Clashing Beds

The boy seemed to always be lying in the hot, twisted bed sheets of itchy
orange wool and as he stared at the ceiling he couldn’t help but think about
all that had happened in the past and all that had occurred in just the past
few days. That feeling kept on appearing when he looked at Harry and he
couldn’t stop thinking about him, right now he was contemplating the boy and
the feeling that he had no idea what it was. Staring at the brown spot still
above his bed his eyes narrowed as he heaved a heavy, sleep-ridden sigh, but
despite his drooping eyes, and tired, sore body he couldn’t get to sleep. After
a few silent minuets the blond swung his legs over the side and walked to the
broken window that creaked in the breeze emitting from those fields. Staring at
his heavily scarred hands he ran them down the crack in the window – he
couldn’t help but remember that window he had jumped out of all those few days
ago. It had been nearly a week since that fateful day, but he couldn’t help but
wonder what would’ve happened if he had never jumped out and ran. Shuddering as
he turned away the boy rubbed his tired eyes hard making sparks of colors
appear, although his eyes were tearing up. He damned puberty for the emotions
he couldn’t control, first he was crying then he had that feeling now he was
crying again the blond couldn’t help but ask the question of: “What’s wrong
with me?” once again, but this time out loud for the other teen to hear.
“Maybe it’s the fact you won’t lay down and sleep, Malfoy. For heavens sake boy
sit down and stop wandering you’re giving me a bloody head ache.” Startled the
blond turned around sharply that damnable feeling showing itself once more in
the pit of the blonde’s stomach. It was like a knife was stabbing at him.
Draco couldn’t explain to Harry why he ran away, and the boy before him
wouldn’t stop asking him ‘why’. Opening his mouth to say something, the boy sat
at the edge of his bed and slowly stated “Don’t you dare tell me what to do
mister I’m-so-mighty.”
Draco could practically hear the boy roll his eyes as he said “All I said was
that you were giving me a head ache, stop dramatizing your situation. You know
what Malfoy? It’s your own damn fault that you have those scars all over your
body and you need to stop moping about as if it’s some tragedy.”
That hurt the blonde far more then what he was willing to admit; he couldn’t
help but sit in silence, unable to grasp what the black-haired boy said to him.
The blonde could feel Potter’s gaze on his back, the back that he knew was
scarred and still wounded. “How can you say that?” muttered the blonde as he
turned his head to look over his shoulder at Potter’s wide-eyed, childlike,
naïve expression.
“How can I not?” Potter said as he narrowed his eyes, “How can I not say it
when you are sitting there, pitying yourself, and crying.” Malfoy’s expression
turned to ice and he spun his body around, “Sure, I haven’t see this horrible
tragedy that is your body, but I’m sure it can’t be that bad. I mean you are
here, you are alive.”
Draco crawled to the other edge of the bed, closest to Potter and stood up,
placing his warm, pale, scarred feet onto the cold floor. “You wanna see it? Do
you really want to see what I’ve been as you say ‘pitying’ myself about.”
Closing his eyes the blond lifted his t-shirt off his body, while his mind
screamed at him to stop, he couldn’t help but think: ‘You haven’t shown anyone
your scars voluntarily, don’t start now!’
Daring not to open his eyes the blonde just stood there for what felt like
ages, but he never expected hands to reach out and touch a deep scar only to
recoil as if he had been burned as his eyes snapped open. Potter sat there his
eyes wide and hand outstretched, then the boy closed his eyes tight as if
trying to block the offending body out of his sight.
‘My offending body.’
The blonde turned on his heel and pulled on his shirt as he ran out the room,
he could hear foot steps behind him and words that were yelled, but he didn’t
comprehend them. ‘He doesn’t want to see my offending body… he thinks I’m
hideous… I am hideous…’ The blonde couldn’t stop the images of that night from
bursting into his vision, the night his body was ruined.
“Malfoy!” someone shouted as Draco’s shoulders were grasped, “These don’t
mater! The scars aren’t’ what make you, despite what you think looks aren’t
everything.” But this wasn’t what Draco wanted to hear because this just proved
that he was an ugly, foul, hideous creature. Draco couldn’t help but flinch and
spin around leaving Potter with his arms to drop, limply at his sides with an
irate look etched into his face, “You know what Malfoy? Fuck you!”
‘My offending body… I’m hideous.’ The blonde’s eyes closed tightly, ‘Just like
Father said.’

“Son… my son… what are you doing up? I told you I’d be late home and to go to
bed, you ungrateful brat.” The little boy barely reached his father’s mid-
thigh, he threw his hands up to be carried by his father. “Get out of here
brat! Look at you! You’re hideous! Your hair is matted with sweat and you smell
like horses. Did you play with the horses again? Like I told you not to? Those
are filthy beasts only to be there for your mother, they are for feminine men
and you are not feminine, Malfoys aren’t girlish!” The man picked his son up by
his hands and threw him hard to the stone ground only for the little boy to fly
back and hit his head against the grey, stone wall.
“You see where you are now? On the floor, that’s where ugly filth deserves to
be! Like the mudbloods and blood-traitors! If you dare to do something that is
for women or servants again Draco… you will be among the filth!”
The boy had taken his father’s words to heart, but yet he couldn’t, in his
later years, stop the images of him in a ‘woman’s’ position, with his legs
propped up on the shoulders of elder, stronger men. Draco knew he was not a
masculine man despite what a ‘Malfoy’ was suppose to be, he couldn’t get into
the role, he couldn’t play the part. If one was to simply look at the boy they
would see how effeminate he was by his hair and facial features. Many state
that he looks like a carbon copy of his father, but this is untrue. His flowing
hair is similar, yet it is somehow more feminine then the cold-hearted man that
is Draco’s father. Piercing steel eyes describes Lucius Malfoy’s eyes, but yet
a storm, winter-rain grey is the color of his Son’s eyes. Delicate, and smooth
are words that their tailor used to describe Draco’s face, yet the father was
depicted as pinched, and jagged.
The two men are completely different, yet many call them one in the same… And
the blonde couldn't help but think the same way as the media…
Soon the blonde was curled up, once again, but his place was different and he
didn’t even remember how he got on the filthy, orange roof. Opening blood-shot
eyes to a blinding, fluorescent scene the blonde stared at the now rising sun,
the bright oranges, yellows, and pinks seemed to mock him, the slivers of
silver clouds that marred the beautiful scene reminded him of his own body, but
instead of those lines of silver marring something gorgeous, it was marring his
revolting body. Questions formed in his mind as he stared at the sun despite
what his mother had warned him about all those years ago.
“Draco if you stare at the sun for too long your magic slowly depletes, that’s
what gives the sun it’s glow.” The little boy stared at his mother with wide,
loving eyes as she continued with her tail. “All the wizards and witches that
stare at the sun for too long soon have no magic left! And then guess what
Draco… they turn into mere muggles! You don’t want that to happen do you?” The
elegant woman shifted the small boy on her lap and kissed his head after he
shook it violently, “So whenever you look at the sun remember that it’s all the
magic of witches and wizards that were too captivated by the glowing magical
ball to look away.” She pulled him into an embrace, the smell of lavender
overwhelmed his nose as his face pressed against the bosom of his mother.
“Draco, I love you so much and never,” she briefly paused to pull back and look
into the eyes of her son, “never forget that because no mater what happens I’ll
love you. You’ll never need a second chance with me, my love.”
Holding onto his own quaking hands his eyes flew open, this was his second
chance.
‘I am not my father…’

The Unexpected Present
“Harry…” the red head was poking him in the side, as grey eyes looked on with
amusement watching the youngest Weasley boy try to get his friend to wake up
without disturbing the rest of the house. Weasley sighed and shook his friend
and finally the boy opened his eyes.
Potter was curled up, tangled in the awful orange sheets. The red-head grinned
before pulling at the sheets, helping his friend out of the mess, “Harry I
heard what you said to Malfoy yesterday… I have to agree with you he should be
thankful we didn’t just leave his bare arse out there, the sodding git.”
Weasley was watching the blonde out of the corner of his eye obviously he was
trying to see the blonde’s reaction to his words. It seemed to infuriate him
when Draco didn’t say a word or even so much as sneer, and instead just went on
with studying potions with a neutral face. Sighing Potter closed his eyes to go
back to sleep. “Harry that’s not all I wanted to talk about… guess what Dad’s
letting us do?” Potter’s eyes snapped open as Weasley continued, “Since we are
coming of age… me already being it and you in a week he’s decided that we are
old enough to be able to go outside to the clearing with the trees! That means
we can play Quidditch”
“Are you serious?!” the black-haired teen exclaimed as he attempted to free
himself of the jail his sheets had created, “I would’ve thought your father and
mother wouldn’t want to risk exposure for that long! I mean Dumbledore must
be…” Potter trailed off and looked down; suddenly the horrid sheets had more
interest then playing Quidditch.
Draco watched as the red-head leaned closer to his best friend and whisper
something in his ear that seemed to make the brunette at least a bit more
optimistic, but those startling green-eyes told a sad story. The brunette
looked beautiful lying with now only his legs tangled; the nightshirt he had on
last night rides up revealing a small trail of black hair bellow a small
bellybutton. The tanned skin isn’t lined with scars like Draco’s body, instead
it glowed as the morning sun shines onto the boy. Draco was briefly reminded of
a croissant roll, cracking a lopsided smile at that thought he buried his face
back into the potions book to hide his grin.
“That’s not all Harry, you know Fred and George are coming in today and they
said they have a surprise for your birthday, which sadly they can’t be here
for… you know they are in,” Weasley spared a glace at Draco before lowering his
voice dramatically, “you-know-what now so…” Potter’s read-head friend trailed
off, glaring at Draco. Despite Weasley’s lame attempt to not say anything that
would give too much away Draco knew that Fred and George were being sent to do
some mission for the Order of the Phoenix.
Draco wouldn’t give in to the redhead and glance at him, even though that
cursed Weasley wouldn’t stop glaring at him as if he were something foul. The
blonde smirked and didn’t look over as he asked, “So you aren’t seventeen yet
Potter?”
“So what Malfoy? You aren’t either as I recall during those apparating lessons
you didn’t go take your test like Ron.” Potter was now also looking his way,
but Draco wouldn’t budge. “So you must be younger then me Malfoy.”
“No Potter, that simply means that I have a summer birthday like you. June
fifth if you must know.” Silence echoed through the small room as no one said a
word for several minutes, it appeared as though the couple of Gryffindors were
debating over what to say next. As the door opened Potter got out of bed and
proceeded to get dressed in his awful, too-big clothes. The black shirt hides
the tanned skin and delicate body of the brunette, the-
A sudden crack brought Draco’s eyes away from Potter, another crack soon
followed and two tall red-headed twins stood, both clad in dragon-hide pants
and jackets. They tackled Potter to the ground and proceeded to wrestle with
the boy until they both had him pinned to the floor. Draco found that when one
of the Weasley twins pulled off Potter’s black shirt he couldn’t pull his eyes
away from the rippling muscle and tanned skin as they fought to pin the other
one down. Potter was soon sprawled out across the floor with one twin holding
down his arms and the other twin holding down his legs.
“Do you-“The twin holding his legs started only to have his twin interrupt him
and finish his sentence.
“give up, Harry?” The boy bellow them sputtered and nodded; his exposed, naked
flesh tightened into little goose bumps as the cool breeze from the opened
window hit the sweat-glistening, tanned skin. “That’s a good boy.” Potter was
suddenly slapped on the arse as he stood, he smirked at the Weasley who had
been holding his legs and was suddenly bombarded by a box. “We weren’t sure
what struck your-
“fancy so we got you several different types.” The other twin finished the
sentence and Draco was fining it quite annoying. Potter opened the box after
tearing through the Slytherin green paper; Draco couldn’t help but be intrigued
as the brunette went bright red and closed the box as quickly as he could.
The brunette lowered his voice drastically as he kept glancing over at the
blonde, “How can you get me these when you know I have him as a roommate? He
doesn’t know about this…” the brunette trailed off and proceeded to glare at
the twins as he threw the box under the bed, blushing uncontrollably.
“Well sorry Harry, but when we got you this present it was after we had heard
the news and well Malfoy hadn’t appeared naked in our field yet.” This made the
red-heads snicker and Draco to frown a bit.
Draco couldn’t stand them talking about him, “You do realize the only reason
why I was naked was because I didn’t want to leave a trail…” then he realized
he need not justify himself to these people. They were never understanding when
it came to him, Potter was evidence enough to that; he shook his head and
walked to the window ignoring the laughing. Then he saw it. He saw Snape’s owl.
The owl with black feathers stained by blood and grease was steadily coming
closer to the window. Cursing as the bird proceeded to scratch the window with
too sharp nail he flung the rickety window open.

“Draco we must talk soon. There is
no time. I am telling you now that
we need to talk. No harm will
come to you, I swear. Please Draco
hear me out. Meet me at the statue
of the witch I showed you when
you were little. The one we
visit every birthday.
-GS”
His god father had always signed the letters that were true GS for “Godfather
Snape” that meant he was not being watched. The Death Eaters had always told
Severus to never sign a letter so that if it was ever intersected the name
wouldn’t be on it.
The thoughts running through his head were abruptly halted as he felt someone –
Potter – push past him; the boy was reaching for his broom that was leaning
against the far corner of the room. Watching the brunette leave with his
smiling friends, Draco was left alone – once again – he was the outcast. Draco
must know. He needed to know what lay in that box beneath the bed.
The outcast grimaced as he reached under the bed, his face scrunched up in
disgust as he had to shift oddly smelling clothing and stick his hand into –
what he thought was rather large, giant cobwebs. Holding his breath the hideous
outcast dove under the bed and finally reached his goal: the box. Cheering in
his mind the boy grinned, but it was cut short as he spotted the spider that
had spun the giant web. After rolling out from under the bed the blond opened
the top and shifted the Slytherin green wrapping paper out of the way and a
gasp could be heard throughout the room.
The magazine was sitting there as if it was the most innocent thing in the
entire world, but the flamboyant colors adorned by the moving pictures of males
were grinning at each other and doing obscene things. The giant “XXX” on the
front was covering the nude males’ sex organs, but just barely. As the boy
stared at the picture he felt something he dared not admit: arousal. Throwing
the box under the bed the boy stood and proceeded to pace in steady circles his
own embarrassment radiating in waves off his pink cheeks. After what felt like
minutes, but was sure longer the blonde slid down the wall, his head bent,
blond hair falling into grey eyes.
When the door opened a sweaty, radiating Potter came into the door his eyes
alit with something Draco hadn’t seen in the boy’s eyes in years. Potter was in
bliss. It was as though all the problems and issues of the world had been
lifted off the shoulders of the boy and dumped onto the next boy-who-lived.
Somehow this light in Potters’ eyes made his own issues lighten a bit. Draco
went to find Mister Weasley to tell him that he needed to be assisted in
apparating to the witch statue.
The red-head was sitting and talking in hushed voices with his wife, his hands
were moving frantically with the words he was speaking. “Mister Weasley” Draco
called out attentively, when he was at home even if what he had to say was of
the utmost importance he was not suppose to interrupt the man of the house –
Lucius – when he was talking. Draco was always sharply and painfully scolded
each time he dared to speak when Lucius was talking. Just the thought of the
cane with the sharp metal snake head on the top made the boy cringe and
shudder. The fangs of the silver snake head had been torture for the boy
growing up. And Lucius being the malicious man he was – and is – would carry
the cane wherever he went with Draco as a constant reminder to behave or he
would use the cane as punishment, even despite the crowds and general public of
people. Draco knew of his father’s wrath while being in Public, although it was
scarse that he would discipline while in public it had happened a few times;
Draco was sure his father had simply done it to humiliate the boy. Who in their
right mind would take a ten year old boy across his legs then pull the pants
down of the child and strike the child with their cane? Apparently Draco’s
father would.
The smile that was on Mister Weasley’s face was reassuring to the teen, this
man was not his father. This man would never strike his children. Draco’s
breath caught his throat. Did he consider himself a Weasley now?
He certainly wasn’t a Malfoy.
The blonde proceeded to tell the man about the letter and that he would need
assistance to the Witch Statue, the man clearly did not mind and told him to
just tell him the time and date. And with a wave of the elder man’s hand he was
told to go “play” with the other children. Walking up the stairs he didn’t
enter his and Potter’s room where laughter was radiating off the rickety walls
of the decrepit house. All the boy knew was that Severus was good, and that
simple thought brought a smile to his face, but what he never saw was a girl
with a tangled bush of brown hair standing above where he was sitting against
the wall; her face was smiling slightly as she watched the blond for merely a
second before going back up into the youngest Weasley’s room.
 
The head of the Weasley family sat in a warped chair with a too-short leg, the
lopsided chair rattled back and forth between the different length chair legs
as the man stood to accompany the blonde to the witch statue. He was playing
with a muggle object and proceeded to tell the pure-blood blonde all about it
as the boy turned deaf ears to his excited, eager, animated chatter. As Mister
Weasley reached for his hand and said words that Draco didn’t care to hear the
horrible feeling that Draco hated was soon overwhelming his body, it felt as
though he was being sucked through a small straw. When it subsides Draco
resisted the urge to hiss as he stood face to face with his beloved Potions
Master.
“Oh, thank Merlin, Draco!” Called the Potions Master desperately, his black
eyes were different; somehow the onyx stone was sharper, harder, more piercing
as if the man had seen so much in these past few weeks to change him into a
stricter man, if that was at all possible. “Draco there has been a tragic
occurrence after your departure.” Severus seemed to struggle uncharacteristicly
with his words, his usually strong, bellowing, sarcastic voice turned into a
mere shadow of the voice that once made first years cower in fear. The man with
the extremely greasy hair – it seemed more then normal – took in a big
shuddering breath before saying, “Draco, your mother is dead. She has been
murdered.”
The blond couldn’t hear the words that Snape was saying; he now knew why
Severus couldn’t keep his face free of emotion. Draco had always known that
Severus’s relationship with his mother had been more then just friendship. They
had been lovers before the arranged marriage Draco’s mother had been forced
into. And the blonde was almost positive his father, Lucius, had allowed the
pair to continue their affairs into the many, many years their ‘happy’
marriage. Severus continued with his talk, his voice becoming firmer, and more
speech like. “Draco… I know this is a shock. You’re mother told me to give you
this, she knew the Dark Lord was going to kill her since you betrayed him, but
I’m telling you now Draco I am not one of them. Do you remember that night?”
Draco nodded, his pale face shinning in the silver moonlight as he looked up at
the Potions Master. “Dumbledore pleaded for the first time that night, but it
was not for his life he was pleading for me to kill him.” The blonde’s eyes
widened at the seemingly ridiculous motion, but he knew the man was telling the
truth. The greasy hair was falling against the face that was full of emotion.
Draco couldn’t remember the last time seeing his Godfather so worked up before.
“He knew that I had to do it. He knew about a bind I made with Bellatrix and,
well, your mother.” The only remaining Malfoy swallowed and closed his eyes,
“Draco your mother was in love with you.”
Severus could tell that the boy before him was trying his hardest not to cry in
the Potions Master’s presence. The child’s Potions Master did something that
many had never seen the snarky professor do. He embraced the trembling child in
front of him.
After what felt like a few minutes the blond pulled back his cheeks dusted by a
pink blush that was accompanied by a shy smile as the boy muttered, “Sorry.”
Severus simply patted the boy on the back before cringing and clutching his
left forearm. “Go.” Draco muttered, watching as the Potions Master nodded
before apparating with a crack off into the night.
Draco turned to see Mister Weasley with a sad expression on his face, “Time to
go home.” The redhead with hideous green robes stepped forward knowing that the
blonde couldn’t move as if he was struck by an “Immobilous” spell.

The Birthday
Draco was startled awake by the sound of an alarm going off, he looked over to
see Potter press a button on the horrible muggle watch he had and whisper to
himself, “Happy Birthday, Harry.” It was the most ridiculous thing he had seen
since Goyle attempting to get a date with that Veela girl back in fourth year.
Potter’s eyes closed and Draco wished he could go back to his dreams, but it
had taken him a couple hours for the boy to fall into a restless sleep; after
sighing several times the boy grimaced. Draco had never been able to sleep
well, especially since the war had started. Of course he had started to relax
when he found out his father was in prison, but still he could not stop his
nightmares of the childhood he would never care to tell anyone about –
especially anyone at this god-awful house. But yet in choosing to remain silent
he couldn’t ask Severus for the wonderful potion he had created in his school
years called Dreamless Sleep potion.
It was nearly one by the time the blonde had dressed and was on his way
outside, the shadows were throughout the whole house, engulfing it into a
curtain of blackness as barely any light was visible except the nearly new moon
that was poking its way through the near darkness. These shadows use to be his
fear of his childhood naivety, since his father tended to bring him nightmares
of reality, now simply lay there dormant, innocuous, and innocent. Pacing in
measured steps in a circle Draco couldn’t stop the strides as he worried about
that feeling; the feeling he’s been having ever since the wedding.
‘But I’ve been feeling it before then, haven’t I?’ Abruptly stopping his
strides the boy paused and let him eyes fall closed, he knew what the feeling
was – despite never wanting it or claiming he never knew what it was. He knew.
The wispy blonde hair that had escaped from behind his ears blew in the wind,
the air was damp and Draco knew it could start to pour at anytime, but yet he
stood, shocked at the revelation. That feeling! He knew what that feeling was.
It scared him. It was the feeling he felt towards his mother. But not quite!
This feeling was different, yet the same. Eyelashes fell closed as the boy’s
lungs took in much needed air, since he felt like he was going to pass out upon
the floor into a mess. Did he actually like Potter? No, that was impossible! Or
was it?
He watched the brunette walk down the stairs through the window as it started
to rain; his hair was plastered to his head within seconds, but he didn’t seem
to care since he just continued to stare at Potter. Thoughts were racing
through his head as conclusions he didn’t want to believe were being drawn
inside his mind.
Potter wasn’t doing much of anything, just standing in the door way while
watching the man of the house. Suddenly he turned to receive a giant hug from
his surrogate mother, Missus Weasley. The giant smile that appeared on Potter’s
face was huge, and his eyes were sparkling. The twin that came over to Potter
made Draco’s grin disappear; Draco’s eyes watched as the twin sneaked in a
quick kiss as his mother turned her back.
“Why don’t you join them?” a female voice from behind Draco said. He knew that
voice; it was the voice that always knew the answer to all the questions at
Hogwarts. “Malfoy… you aren’t a lost cause. If you came here to better yourself
you should realize that you aren’t. Please Malfoy we can only reach out so
much, you have to take those opportunities.” Draco didn’t turn around; instead
he bent his head and looked to the floor, his long hair falling over his eyes
and water poured into his face from the wet strands.
“Granger you know what? Some of your friends have been not exactly kind to me
so just shut up.” Draco had said that with not much authority, since he just
did not feel that hostile towards them anymore. He was wearing a blood-
traitor’s clothes that happen to belong to the girl of the family, and he was
living in that house full of these blood-traitors. His father would disown him
in a second… if he already hadn’t. Draco suddenly got this feeling of dread in
his stomach; his father was going to disown him there was no question about it.
His father’s only heir was going to be disowned.
“Well Malfoy, you haven’t exactly been kind to us these past six years! And on
top of it all you are the reason the Headmaster of Hogwarts is dead! So you can
understand why we are so hostile with you, but on the other hand Missus and
Mister Weasley have been nothing but kind to you, even allowing you to sleep in
their house and wear their daughter’s clothes.” She stepped in front of Draco
and stared down at his bowed head. Even she was taller then the blonde! “And
you know what else Malfoy? We have-“
“Draco! Hermione! What are you two doing out there! You should be inside! It’s
pouring rain out there!” Missus Weasley stood with Potter behind her as she
threw open the Kitchen door with two towels floating behind her. “Now get in
here before you both catch a cold!” Granger didn’t seem to mind and after one
last glance at Draco moved towards the door, but the blonde didn’t appear so
willing instead he just stood with his face hidden from sight. Missus Weasley
sensed something was wrong and cast a spell to keep her dry as she walked out
towards the boy, when she reached him he did not move.
She reached out a hand and forced his face up to look at his closed eyelids
that were clenched so tightly that they were slightly wrinkled at the bottom
producing stars of colors for Draco. “I can’t see.” He muttered, as he kept his
eyes closed. Missus Weasley huffed and stated something along the lines that he
should open his eyes, but when he followed her instructions blurred visions of
people and colors caused the boy to close his eyes again tighter then before.
“I can’t see even with them open.”
While the others were getting ready for Potter’s fabulous Party Draco was stuck
up in his room with none-other-then the Birthday-boy, himself. Madam Promphrey
was suppose to be coming any day now to check his eyes, since Draco couldn’t
see anything he was almost positive that Potter was gazing at those horrible
magazines with glossy eyes filled with arousal.
Oh how he wished he could seethat expression.
Shaking his head from his vulgar thoughts that had to be due to his current
condition he rolled over onto his stomach and shoved his head into the pillow
bellow him just waiting (a bit impatiently now) for the medi-witch to arrive.
He heard the door burst open and Potter scramble to hide his magazines and
someone rudely entered their room. “Not need to hide those Potter, since I
already know about your orientation and it’s a simple fact of life that boys
look at those crude things!” She placed her hand upon my forehead and continued
to ramble to herself about vulgar, uncouth, teenage boys.
“No fever my dear now take off your shirt and keep your eyes closed, might as
well check the progress of those cuts while I’m here!” She apparently didn’t
care to wait for Draco to strip his own shirt as strong hands pulled it off him
and proceeded to poke and prod at his bare chest. “Your heart, I completely
forgot about your condition! Draco how could you be that careless! You did so
much physical activity without your potion! It’s a mere miracle that you didn’t
die you foolish boy!” She forcefully rolled his over and then Draco heard the
curtains on someone’s bed be closed, “Now take off those pants. We might be
able to do something about the scaring, but as you were told before the Dark
Lord put some type of spell on you that we have yet to figure out and the
scaring solution didn’t absorb into your skin.”
“Will you cast a silencing spell or something? Potter can hear everything you
are saying!” Draco yelled fumbling with the button on his pants as the woman
proceeded to huff and then could be heard casting a silencing spell. She waited
a while before forcing Draco’s hands away by swating at them and then spelling
his pants off his legs.
“Oh my! Nothing under the trousers, my dear?” Draco blushed and turned his head
away from the woman’s voice as she continued to check his scars. “Hmm… Draco
you realize that if nothing can be done about these scars that you’ll have to
live with them, and I understand from Molly that you’ve been having a hard time
dealing with this whole issue.” She placed a hand on his and gave it a small
squeeze as Draco continued to look away from her, “Draco it’s not bad! You are
alive be thankful of that. But back to your heart condition, I am unsure if
you’ve been informed or not but Harry apparently will not be attending Hogwarts
this year except to take a few classes a semester and to take his NEWTs. How
does this affect you? Well it affects you because you will be his roommate
since you can not return back to school except in private. And he will be in
the Muggle World so making Potions every week will not be an easy thing to
accomplish so I’m going to start you on some pills.”
The blonde couldn’t believe his ears he had to room with Potter and not only
that but he had to take medicine that he had never taken before and didn’t know
where it came from. The boy turned away from her and muttered something about
crazy medi-witches. Then she turned her attention to his eyes as she muttered
multiple spells and forced his eyes open to the light. She clicked her tongue
and continued muttering spells. “It seems to me dear that you have not only
been taking potions for your heart but also potions for color-blindness and
astigmatism as well as your poor vision. Don’t worry dear I can whip up a pair
of glasses for you that will cure your astigmatism and poor vision, but you
will have to learn how to operate without being able to see green and some reds
will appear pink.” Draco couldn’t believe his ears, he needed glasses! He
couldn’t see greens! He would see pink instead of red! How could he live
without his favorite color? How would green look if he saw it? How would
everything look now?
Cursing under his breath as he was handed a pair of rectangular, wire frames
and for a second he just held them unsure what to do until he place them onto
the front of his face. The weight from the glass was at first weird and the
fact that if he shifted his eyes downward he could see blurs of color, but if
he looked through the glass he could see everything clearly was just enough to
make him slightly dizzy. “Now don’t exert yourself and take one of these a
day.” She handed him a cylinder of what appeared to be little pastels or hard
white candy. “You must take it on an empty stomach with water. Now I’m off
unless you have anymore complaints.” Draco didn’t say a word and she soon took
down the silencing spell and bustled out the door, he heard murmurs down stairs
and then the unmistakable sound of a loud crack!
Potter then asked, “So what the hell was wrong with you?” Draco’s back was to
the boy and he didn’t say anything as he slowly turned around to face the other
bespectacled boy before loud stomping sounds could be heard as if a mob of
raging lunatics were trampling up the stairs it all stopped with a loudBANG!
The door flew open and sure enough there stood a mob of raging lunatics and
blood-traitors that started to laugh at the sight of Draco with his wire
glasses on.
The blonde wouldn’t let them get to him as he threw his head into the air with
his chin pompously up and then he pushed his way through the four red-heads
that were beside themselves with laughter. He then was shocked to see the
banner of “Happy Birthday Harry and Draco!” It had been spelled to change into
“Happy Birthday Harry and Ferret-Face!” when neither of the Parents were
looking at it. A redhead with a ponytail shook his head at the banner, but let
it be as Harry came down the stairs being carried on the back of one of the
Weasley twins. Draco supposed that it was the same twin as the one from earlier
who had kissed him.
Scowling Draco turned around to see the ageing face of his Godfather, grinning
he walked over to him and despite his better judgment he walked over and placed
both his hands into his Godfather’s and gave them a hard squeeze. “I’ve missed
you.” Draco said as he placed his face momentarily into Severus’s chest before
dropping the Potions Master’s hands and pulling away.
"What the bloody hell ishe doing here?! He murdered Dumbledore! He killed him!
What the fuck!" Draco looked over to see Potter with a heaving chest and his
mouth hanging slightly open in outrage as he walked over to where Severus
stood. He pressed a finger to Severus's chest and Draco's godfather snatched
that hand in his and gave it a painful squeeze that invoked Potter to flinch,
but not look away. "Fuck you, sir."
"Don't you dare touch me again, mark my words Potter I will not tolerate you! I
am simply here for Draco's Birthday." The snarky professor looked at Draco and
gave him a clap on the shoulder.
"Oh? Back to retrieve your lackey, eh? Got the information you needed? Killed
the single noblest man in the whole Wizarding World and back to get your
precious Malfoy to maybe..." he paused for a rather long second, "fuck?" Potter
obviously didn't know what the hell he was saying! He was spitting out insults
to a professor and telling him he shagged students! There must be something
wrong with that boy whose chest was rising and falling in an erratic pattern as
he proceeded to yell at his Potions Master. And Severus stood there and took
it!
"If you are quite done Potter I have something to tell your insufferable arse.
You should realize that I might have killed your professor but it was not on my
free will! I did not wish for him to be killed, you brat." Severus walked up to
Potter. The brunette boy was quivering now, "Shouldn't this anger be redirected
towards someone else, Potter?" he spat out the name like it was poison, "I
heard about how you trashed the Headmaster's office in one of your fits of
rage, but shouldn't this anger be..."
"Shut up!" Potter yelled, this was getting to be too much for Draco. How dare
Potter not be chided for this! How dare he be able to get away with it! If that
had been Lucius... Draco shivered at even the name of his father.
Draco couldn't take it anymore; he had to stop the yelling, the insults, and
the thoughts about his father. "Why don't you both just stop fighting?” Draco
said in a raised voice, “It's your birthday and this is suppose to be some kind
of celebration, so just stop yelling Potter and go snog your redhead, flea-
ridden boyfriend in the sodding corner or something." Apparently that was the
wrong thing to say as everyone turned to stare at Potter and one of the twins
(the one probably dating Potter) started to make his way towards the other boy.
"Well that certainly wasn't how I would've liked Harry and me to come out...
but we aren't boyfriends as much as I would like us to be Harry's holding out
on me!" The group laughed, but Draco just stood there as Potter glared at him.
"Better look out Harry soon all the gay men will be flaunting over you not just
the straight women hoping to convert you.” Called out Remus, who a rather
strong looking Alcohol in his hand with a girl resting on his shoulder. The
woman had bright turquoise hair that clashed horribly with her outfit; Draco
cringed at the bright colors and wished that instead of not being able to see
green that he could switch it with turquoise.
“Now if you all," the twin motioned to the party members, "will excuse us we
have something to discuss with our wonderful Malfoy." The Twin looked rather
disheveled as he proceeded to walk up the stairs, his yellow knit sweater was
hideous in Draco’s opinion. Whoever had made that thing should stick to their
day job, and Draco hopped their day job was not making clothing because
otherwise they would be rather poor. That caused Draco to smirk, of course the
Weasley’s would have to resort to buying the rejected clothing! Letting out a
small laugh Draco’s thoughts were cut short as the Weasley appeared in front of
him again, “Come on you wonderful Malfoy, I don’t have all day!”
It didn't seem like he thought Draco was all that wonderful with the way he
said his name. That Weasley twin grasped the back of Malfoy's shirt and pulled
him up the stairs and into the first bedroom they came to, "What the fuck are
you trying to pull Malfoy? What the bloody hell is wrong with you calling us
out like that!" It was a rhetorical question, Draco didn't dare answer. "Just
because we fucked once while you were in the room doesn't mean-"
"What?! You shagged with me in the bloody room! What the-"
"I told you he was asleep! You weren't suppose to tell him that!" Potter yelled
his face was crimson with embarrassment, "He didn't know that you had... you
know! And you go and blurt it out! I was just wondering what it was like and
now he bloody knows that you..."
Draco sat amazed, stunned, and a bit jealous that not only had this Weasley
touched Potter's arse, but he had been inside that well-shaped arse too! The
thought of Potter bent over and those green eyes (that he no-longer could see)
closed tightly with tears... Draco felt his pants tighten and his collar get
considerably hotter as he imagined himself in that Weasley's place. Cursing out
loud Draco moved to make his arousal unnoticeable, but that horrible twin had
already seen it and was moving over towards him with a triumphant gleam in
those blue eyes.
"Fred what are you doing?" Potter called out while looking around the room as
if seeking for something to make Draco forget this whole conversation. "We have
to get something to keep Malfoy quiet! Now thanks to you he knows what you did
to me!" But this Weasley kept on moving closer to Draco, his slow and measured
steps made Draco flinch inside although he looked as smug as he normally did on
the outside.
"Turned on by that are you?" He asked Draco, whose eyes widened slightly, but
other then that he looked the same. "Turned on by the thought of Harry and me
going at it? Or maybe you took one of our places you sick bastard." Cursing
inwardly Draco threw his chin up and gave this Fred Character his best sneer
and opened his mouth to say something only to have the blood-traitor's fingers
thrust into his mouth. "How would you like me to put these fingers into a
different hole?"
Momentarily stunned Draco just sat there as the other boy smirked at him, and
then Draco came to his senses and bit down hard onto the Weasley's fingers
causing the redhead to let out a small screech. He turned to Potter who gave
him a look that said well-you-asked-for-it-dumb-ass. Then, Potter stepped
forward and placed a hand on Draco's shoulder and squeezed it painfully-hard
before stating "You will keep your mouth closed or I'll owl those Death Eaters
your location and then you'll be in trouble."
Just wanting to get away from this pair as fast as possible – Draco agreed
before storming out of the room to go see Severus before he had to leave. But
Severus was already on his way out, when Draco called out to him causing him to
stop in mid stride before quickly walking over to the blonde, "Draco I must go
but your presents are over in the pile for you, but I really wanted to give you
one personally... unfortunately, I can't keep the Dark Lord waiting, I’m sure
you understand.” The former Potions Master gave Dracothat look and then his
eyes softened as he said, “Have a Happy late Birthday Draco."
With that the Potions Master left leaving Draco all by himself in a room full
of people he had no care to talk to. The blonde wished he could’ve been a spy
instead of spending so much time with these stupid people, these scum bags! He
was sure he had had enough blood-traitor encounters to last him a lifetime!
Someone was coming towards him, a redheaded someone with a Ponytail and
twinkling eyes. Wanting to yell at the pony-tail wearing man to ‘Go away’ Draco
just stared at him as he sat down.
“Well I hope you are enjoying this Party of ours! I’m unsure if it’s up to your
standards, but Harry always has fun. Provided he’s with his friends and you
aren’t. We couldn’t invite yours since not only do we not know them, but they
are not cleared to know about your location.” Who was this fool? What was he
thinking coming over here and talking to the blonde – who was already fuming
from what had happened in the bedroom with Potter and the Fred character?
Idiots the whole lot of them.
“Who the hell are you?” Draco asked very eloquently with his long hair falling
into his eyes as he continued to stare at the redhead. Unfortunately, Draco had
to admit he actually thought that maybe this blood traitor was the best of the
bunch, since he did seem to know something and seemed to have an open mind
about Draco’s reputation.
The man’s pony tail fell against his back as he threw his head back in
laughter, “Are you always this positive?” Draco looked at the grinning face of
the man before him and thought of something witty to say, but was unsure if he
should say it and cause this man to run away after being so kind to him.
Thinking about Granger’s words, Draco pursed his lips and shrugged causing this
character to say, “Well, my name is Bill and it is a pleasure to meet you.”
Bill laughed before saying, “I’ve heard so much about you, all positive remarks
I assure you.”
Draco came to the conclusion that not only was this Bill logical, but he also
had a sense of humor and those two things were hard to find in blood-traitors
especially in a pair. Bill had a little bit longer hair then himself, but it
was tied back into a leather thong. Pushing the blond strands behind his ears
he listened as this Bill told him stories about himself and about his job, but
soon the conversation was halted as another blood-traitor came over and
snatched him away leaving Draco once again alone in a room full of people he
had no desire to talk to.
The Mother of the swarms of redheads in the room came in and announced that
dinner was ready, everyone stood up and left, but Draco just sat there not
really wanting to join the heard of people to the dinning room. Soon the room
was cleared and the blonde let out a breath of air as he sat, he could here the
people through the walls, but he still sat in isolation from the rest of the
family, until he saw Bill come out from the room with a small smile on his
face. “Are you going to come eat?”
“I’m not particularly hungry.” Draco said politely, but apparently Bill didn’t
buy it as he walked up to Draco and crouched down in front of him with that
small smile he was always wearing. Some of that red hair that had flew out of
his ponytail fell into his eyes, Draco stared at it then he did something he
didn’t understand – he blushed!
“I’m sure you are so come in and I know you are having trouble adapting to our
loud, busy, and frumpy house, but don’t worry you’ll get use to it and I’ll be
here the next few days.” Bill seemed to know that he had made a large impact on
the blonde’s life in only a matter of a few minutes. “Come in and have a seat
next to me, I’m sure you’ll life my mother’s cooking! At least have a slice of
cake if you aren’t that hungry.” Draco let the redhead grasp his hand as they
both stood up and he also allowed the redhead to lead him to the dinning room.
For Draco the dinner was just too loud his father would’ve scolded him if he
had been this loud at the table, and these people were ill-mannered as they
yelled, talked, and even sang with their mouths full of food. Draco kept on
expecting Mister Weasley to stand up and yell at them to stop, that he’d take
his hand and slap their cheeks, but instead the man simply laughed at their
antics and even was misbehaving himself. Silence was all Draco could stand to
do, he couldn’t say anything to this dysfunctional family as Remus Lupin downed
whatever alcohol he was drinking, Potter laughed at whatever joke Fred was
telling, and the Weasley King chatted animatedly with his girlfriend Granger.
Draco then courageously asked Bill a question, “What is Lupin drinking?”
Bill then looked at Lupin, “Oh, he just took his Potion… but he’s been drinking
water he just had his transformation eleven days ago and after it he’s always
very thirsty and hungry until about a week until the next one where he doesn’t
eat barely a thing, but until that week he’s hungry like crazy. Molly’s cooking
will be a cure to that! My mum is always cooking too much that causes everyone
to be stuffed, and then she comes out with desert!” Draco smiled and Bill
looked shocked for a second, “Wow! You should smile more.” Blushing, Draco
grinned and looked down at the plate in front of him, “I’m serious Draco!” Bill
said sounding outraged from Draco’s muttering of ‘yeah right’, but then he
stated seriously, “It suits you.”
Mister Weasley then stood up and told everyone to settle down was Draco’s cue
to be quiet; he didn’t dare speak up over the man of the house. “Now today is
Harry’s seventieth birthday!” Everyone cheered and the twins took a shot of
something after clanking their glasses together, and Mister Weasley shushed
then and continued, “Now Draco over there,” he motioned to where Draco was
sitting next to Bill and Remus’s Girlfriend, “we were informed by Severus that
he didn’t have a formal birthday so we are giving him one today! Happy very-
late birthday Draco!” The adults all clapped as well as Granger until she was
elbowed sharply by the Weasel King, while Bill cheered causing Draco’s cheeks
to tint slightly.
All the birthday parties at the Manor were always formal dinners with proper,
ballroom dancing. Every time Draco had a birthday he was forced to wear stiff,
new dress robes with high collars and (in his opinion) flamboyant patterns. The
parties were always long and full of Lucius scowling at his son if he did
something wrong or said something indecorous. Just the thought of those
piercing eyes full of disgust staring down at him, his own son, caused Draco to
always withdraw into himself. After all he really couldn’t stand more repulsion
from anyone.
Cut out of his thoughts, Draco stood and did a curt bow before sitting down
again with his eyes lowered hoping Lucius wasn’t scowling at him with those
hard eyes. Bill then stood and lead Draco back to the sitting room where Potter
had already started opening his presents. Missus Weasley handed him a present
from Severus; it was a white envelope with the Snape family seal on the back
and upon opening it he pulled out a single piece of parchment.

“Draco,
Happy Birthday! I’m sure you are having so
much fun. I wanted to tell you that I will be
allowing you access to my vaults for one thing.
Since I can’t have a Malfoy wearing a
blood-traitor’s clothes. You can only spend so
much; after all I was only a sodding teacher
for 18 miserable years.
-GS”

After she handed Draco a rather large box, Missus Weasley yawned as she sat
down on the sofa next to her husband who promptly put an arm around her
shoulders. Draco unwrapped the present with precision undoing the tape then
carefully pulling off the paper not wanting to rip it as Lucius would have
reprimanded him. But Potter didn’t seem to mind as he tore the paper to shreds
with a grin on his face. A small white kitten with blue eyes sat inside the
box, “He remembered.” Draco’s expression softened and he pet the head of the
small kitten. They continued opening gifts and Draco, while he only had four
compared to Potter’s vast amount he was grinning slightly when Bill handed him
an envelope from the Weasley family that contained a small amount of money and
a letter that informed him that he would need to find a small apartment in
Muggle London for himself and Potter to share.
The last gift was something Draco had never expected to receive, when he
unwrapped the small, rectangular present from Severus he felt his chest tighten
and his breathing cut short. He hugged the small book to his chest, but said
nothing as the kitten played with his pant leg and pounced on his sock-clad
feet. The book was a diary from his mother that as a child he had seen her
write in many times, but she would never let him read it or so much as see it.
The brown leather was worn and soft, it had two words embroidered into the
front cover in yellow and those words were “Narcissa’s Diary”. Draco wanted to
open the book and smell the pages that he was sure smelled like his mother’s
expensive perfume.
“What’s that Draco?” Bill asked motioning to the book he still had pressed
against his chest, but the blonde just shrugged and clung to it as though it
was a life line.
The party was over after much dancing and chatting, people left in couples and
some camped out in the living room saying they would leave tomorrow morning,
Fred went up the stairs with Potter they were kissing all the way up into the
room leaving Draco sitting outside on the steps. The blonde just sat there
stroking the kitten in his lap as he opened the small rectangular book and
inhaled the familiar scent of lavender and just that smell that was his mother.
The light purple pages were scribbled upon in an elegant, lucid handwriting
with loops and precisely placed dotes. He turned the page despite the ruckus
consisting of moaning being heard in the room behind him and saw a date written
on it and continued to read after a deep breath.

June 5, 1990
If you are reading this my dear boy, then I am very sorry I
cannot be with you. My boy… my sweet innocent boy. I do realize that I
wasn’t the best mother allowing your father to hurt you, allowing him to use
his own means of discipline that I think are wrong, but I did tolerate it in
exchange for Severus. I was permitted to continue seeing my lover if I never
spoke against your father. I was ashamed-
Draco closed the book with a rather loud smack; he couldn’t read about his
mother being ashamed of him in permitting his father do those horrible things
to him. After a few minutes of silence, Draco stood and walked into the room
and laid down on his bed despite the fact that Fred and Potter were half nude
and protesting rather loudly with him being there.

Broken Window
The Shack

“For the longest time I thought that I was a better mother, you were always to
me the best son I could’ve ever wished for, but there was many problems with
you from the start. I’m not talking about behavior. I’m talking about health;
you were a very unhealthy child since you were basically born from two cousins.
After all the Malfoys have to be purebloods, but there are not that many
purebloods left. You were a child of incest much like your father and me. We
are children of incest, but it is not taboo since it has not been made public.
Our ways are secret, only we – the Malfoy family know that our lines are
running thin and starting to become even sicker as the generations go on.
“What you might not realize is that it used to be every ten generations a
Malfoy could conceive a bastard son with another woman… that is after marrying
a pureblood woman and then the man would keep the two women in confines. After
conceiving a child with the other woman that was as close as you could get to a
pureblood. Then nine months later claim that your wife had a son except it was
the other woman’s son (and it had to be a son). Then the other woman would be
disposed of. But your father was the tenth generation of this line and he found
the whole ritual shameful, and he loved me at the time. He refused to do it so
you were the tenth generation of used blood. That’s one of the reasons you have
Congestive Heart Failure, but it is not only that we were technically second or
third cousins it is that also that you were born very premature. We put you on
a potion to help your kidneys get rid of the fluid in your lungs better, but
then today – this is the reason I started writing several minutes ago – I found
out another health condition. You had to be put onto two new potions, you are
just three, but you were not recognizing the colour green from the others. Upon
further studying your father found out that you are colour bind and that you
have severe astigmatism mixed in with bad vision. He claims that his children
can not have anything imperfect about them so he placed you on these potions.
But he also passed something foul onto you. It was someth-“
Draco abruptly closed the book as Potter came into the room with narrowed eyes,
“What are you reading?” Draco bared his teeth and held the book tightly with
both hands; the brunette was really starting to grate on his nerves with his
constant questioning. “I asked you a question Malfoy, for Merlin’s sake you
should at least have the decency to answer me with an insult or something.” All
week long the other boy had been asking questions about everything and Draco at
first started to answer Potter with snide comments, but now the blond was about
to his breaking point.
A sudden pain rose sharply in Draco’s chest a muffled whimper could be heard as
Draco’s hands flew to rest on his chest. Deep, long breaths seemed to ease the
pain away slowly. Grey eyes looked up to see Potter looming over him with wide
eyes; Draco grimaced at the slight twinge left in his chest and stood up to
leave Potter alone in the house, but the boy had a new past time called:
follow-Draco-and-drive-him-insane-with-questions.
The blonde was to go into town and see all the muggle-shops for clothing that
he liked and that Severus could afford. One slight problem was that Draco had
no idea what the bloody hell pounds were, but he would just have to figure it
out as he shopped. Draco figured he might even enjoy shopping in Muggle London,
since he always did like shopping for new robes. Of course this was before he
found out that Potter was to come with him. Upon hearing the news, Draco
flinched slightly at the thought of Potter asking so many questions as he
bought long-sleeved shirts during summer time. But as he set out with Potter
tagging along behind it turned out only worse then what he had expected.
“Malfoy?” Potter asked as he continued walking slightly behind Draco, “Why did
you take off your clothes when you were running? I mean it would’ve been safer
if you kept them on and you wouldn’t have all those scars that you’ve been
complaining about.” Draco stopped abruptly and Potter ran into his back, then
Draco spun around sharply and put a single finger to his chest.
Draco was going to explode; it was annoying him to death the fact that Potter
wouldn’t let it drop, for the past half hour he had been asking that question
non-stop and every time his answer was the same. “None of your sodding business
Potter! For fuck’s sake drop it already!” Draco smirked when silenced followed
his outburst for nearly 7 minutes when he heard Potter open his mouth and take
in a breath. “Potter I swear to Merlin if you say anything along the lines of a
question I’m going to-“
But Potter had stopped walking and had his mouth hanging open, with a rather
terrified look in his eyes. The bags he had been holding fell to the floor,
Draco followed the other teen’s gaze and saw it, the Dark Mark was hanging in
the sky, but for Draco it wasn’t a green colour. It was a brown colour that
caused Draco to scrunch his nose up at the look of it. “Potter pick those bags
up, we have to floo somewhere else and continue before they find us!”
Potter looked as though he wanted to cry, “They put up wards on this town… it
has to be coincidence that they are here, only the order knew that we were
coming here.” Draco turned and picked up the bags that Potter had dropped, but
Potter took some from his hands. “Take your wand out Malfoy. We might need it.”
They took off running, the sun was starting to set and the purple sky was
marred with a green stain. Nimble, scarred feet that had run so far that night
so long ago protested; his heart started to protest as well. The muggle
medicine didn’t compare to the potion as his breath came out in sharp gasps as
he attempted to stay conscious. “Potter!” Draco huffed out, “We need to find
somewhere to floo quickly!”
Potter turned to see Draco struggling to breathe. Har-Potter wondered how Draco
ever got to the fields of the burrow if he was already out of breath in just a
minutes worth of strides. Potter’s torn trainers clomped on the ground in
search of the building the flooed out of, they turned the corner and saw it.
Swarms of death eaters were breaking into shops and massacring the muggles
inside the shops. A death eater then called out to the others and shot up green
sparks that looked brown to Draco; the death eaters started to run after them.
“Fuck!” Potter called out as he turned around and started to run the way they
came. “Malfoy!” Draco’s feet pounded just like his head, his lungs tried to
fill with oxygen, but still he couldn’t get the slight blurred edges of his
vision to leave. “We have to get to the platform!”
Draco chased after Potter, his speed slightly decreasing with each step as his
world slid in and out of focus. After a few moments the death eaters were
closer and shooting spells at the pair, Har-Potter continued to curse as spells
flew past his head. “Malfoy, come on… you can run this far! I see it! Come on!”
Potter fell behind a few steps so that he was next to Malfoy. “Look! You see
the brown square up there? That’s what we have to step on.” Draco looked at
Potter like he was crazy, it was absolutely insane! Neither of them had their
apparating license, they were breaking the law!
“If I apparate Potter… then… they are going to find my location.” Potter didn’t
seem to care as he continued running, the plastic bags swayed in their hands
and Draco couldn’t believe they had continued to hold them all this time. His
chest felt like it was going to explode as mass pain shot through as if someone
had shot him, but then Draco felt it. His eyes widened as a spell hit him
squarely in the back, but he continued running despite the blood that he had
started to cough up and the colour the tips of his fingers were turning. Blood
dribbled from the corner of his mouth, a metallic tang overwhelmed his taste
buds. Potter was the first one to vanish his eyes closed hard in concentration,
hoping that he wouldn’t leave any of his limbs behind. Draco was next the
feeling of being pushed through a straw was the last thing he needed as he
passed out once again in the fields of the burrow.
Draco woke up, but he couldn’t open his eyes or call out as hushed voices spoke
in harsh tones to each other, their voices barley audible to the blonde save a
few words. As the two people spoke he recognized both of the voices, but could
not place them.

“The people… spies!”
“All…?”
“All! … Draco … Harry!”
“… must… apartment… soon.”
“… muggles…”
“Poor Draco...”
The next time the blonde woke up he was over taken by the sun; it burned his
eyes in its scalding light. A person next to him placed a hand on his forehead
and wiped up the remaining blood around his mouth. Still Draco couldn’t speak,
but instead moaned in pain.
“I know it hurts Draco… your throat is probably throbbing and raw after the
spell they hit you with.”
It was Bill, Draco’s heart skipped a beat – and he would later deny that that
ever happened – he couldn’t believe that Bill was here taking care of him. A
woman’s voice then filled the room, he knew her. His burned eyes fell upon the
girl – that was no longer a girl – from fourth year. She had creature blood and
his father had warned him about her and the ways of a veela. Her once thick
accent was subdued by the amount of time she had spent with English-speaking
people. The woman leaned over and placed a kiss of Bill’s cheek and with that
simple move Draco’s heart sank to the floor. Of course he had a lover, how
could he had not realized that the wedding he had attended just a few weeks ago
been theirs? Allowing his eyes to close in mourning of… whatever Bill and he
had shared. But in truth Draco had to admit Bill and he hadn’t shared much of
anything romantically. In fact the redhead had simply shown Draco acceptance.
“Ah, I zee zat Draco has woken.”
But that acceptance meant the world to him. Not wanting to talk to her or Bill,
Draco closed his eyes and shielded the naked, grey orbs from the sneaking,
slippery glances of the pair. Their wide, in-love eyes made Draco sick to his
stomach and he didn’t want their pitiful eyes to stare at him – he actually
didn’t want her pitiful eyes staring at him. His eyes were welcome…
After turning over, he sighed deeply and let himself be lulled into sleep as
the warmth of the blankets and sun enveloped his body. The dreams that
accompanied his sleep were not altogether unpleasant or pleasant; they were
just mere memories of what had happened in the past. Childhood memories that no
longer held emotion were played off like a reel in a movie theatre, but this
motion picture was a silent one. Lips moved in unheard words. Screams fell upon
deaf ears. Wails were over come by silence. Faces had no identity. Bodies held
no shape. Draco was frightened and whimpered at the sight of his father; the
ideals he held were chiseled into the blonde’s brain and much erosion would
have to happen or else it would forever be encrypted.
A sharp pain in his side woke him, the blonde sat up suddenly to find Potter by
his side brandishing his wand like a sword. “Malfoy get up we are going to get
out Apparation license and if you don’t get up right now we are just going to
leave without your sorry arse.” Groaning Draco moved over to see the cloak
strike 2:30 and a loud clung noise resonated around the house. His eyes fell
closed to the mere thought of Apparating, he hadn’t even realized that they had
broken the rules when they had franticly used magic to teleport themselves to
the field.
“I feel like I was hit by a train.” Draco muttered as he sat up, a gasp met his
lips as his lungs burned for a few minutes, but soon the burning sensation
simmered down to a mere sizzle. Grey eyes closed in concentration, “Let’s go!
Led the way, Potter!” Potter’s eyes skimmed over my disheveled state, but soon
he turned around and walked out whilst twirling that stick of his in-between
his fingers. Mister Weasley was waiting with a single black boot in his hand
and the other Weasley boy at his side; they were arguing in hushed tones that
quickly cut short once they saw Draco walk in with Potter.
“The princess has arrived.” Potter said in a mocking sing-song voice and Draco
was tempted to say ‘Fuck you’ but refrained since he saw that Mister Weasley
was in the room. The blonde dared not to say anything too offending with the
man of the house present now that Lucius wasn’t there to protect him against
these beasts.
When Potter, Weasel, and Draco got into the rather large, empty room they were
left to contemplate the “Three-D’s” while a man with short, brown hair got
everything set up for their tests. The test was in reverse alphabetical order
making the Weasel go first. His face was pale, hair on end, and clothes
absolutely dreadful. He took a deep breath and suddenly, without warning in was
precariously perched on one foot inside a blue coloured ring. The brown-haired
man studied his face and features and made notes in his clip board, but didn’t
say a word as to whether he had passed or not. Next in line was Potter, who
looked fairly confident as he stepped up to the starting place. As soon as he
got there a Crack! resonated through out the room. Potter was halfway across
the room inside a red hoop, but unlike weasel he had both feet firmly planted
and a smile was on his face. Again the man with brown hair came over to the
examinee and proceeded to scribble notes about Potter’s features and whether or
not he had passed.
Draco stood up to the platform; despite his nervousness he wore a mask of
indifference as he thought about the green ring across the room. His body felt
like it was being sucked through a small straw, but once that feeling stopped
Draco opened his eyes to see that he was standing in the middle of the green
coloured ring. The man with the clip board examined him and then grinned,
“Congratulations, all of you have passed.” And with that the room was in an
uproar.
The apparition test wasn’t as hard as Draco had expected especially after the
way the Slytherins had talked it up. He had passed as well as the two baboons
in front of him who cheered as soon as they had passed, but Draco refrained
from saying anything since they had been in the presence of the older weasel.
The older Weasley congratulated him on passing after giving the two other boys
enthusiastic hugs, he had expected no less for the man, since they didn’t
exactly share a close bond with one another. Sighing, Draco moved over to the
back of the crowd, he knew that soon Mister Weasley was going to kick him out
of the house to go live with Potter of all people. Cursing under his breath,
Draco took the envelope out of his pocket and took out the money from inside.
He was suppose to find an apartment that could fit himself and Potter with this
amount of money, after much research Draco realized just how little it was.
He was supposed to drag the Weasel with him during his search for a house so
that they could buy one close to each other sometime this week. Of course,
Draco had absolutely no desire to be near the weasel and his beaver-girlfriend.
Much less go apartment hunting with the redhead. But it was deemed necessary by
the new head of the Order of the Phoenix: Minerva McGonagall. She was now the
headmistress of Hogwarts and held very high status in the wizarding world, but
with Draco she was still a pain in the arse. Draco was infuriated that he would
have to share an apartment with Potter and – from what Draco understood – not
much money to pay for this apartment. Cursing seemed to be the only plan Draco
had.
In turn, Draco was left cursing outside, while sitting on a lawn chair. It was
very early in the morning and no one was awake yet, save himself. Then Potter
came down the stairs, Draco could see him through the window as he picked up
the clean laundry left by Missus Weasley the night before on the table and then
he started to fold it and put the clean clothes into appropriate piles –
manually! He was folding clothes like a muggle, as if almost without second
thought. Intrigued by Potter’s actions Draco continued to watch, once the boy
was done with the clothes he moved over to the pile of dishes.
Draco couldn’t help but be puzzled by Potter’s cleaning habits. When the plump
woman with red hair came into the room she startled the teen by placing her
hands on his shoulders and then she said something to him causing the boy to
look down at his feet and walk away from the half cleaned dishes. Ronald
Weasley then came into the room, he towered over both of the other occupants,
and he even had to bend over quite a bit to kiss the top of his mother’s head.
Draco felt like an outcast, an intruder on this special moment between a mother
and her two sons, but once Draco realized he had thought that his face
scrunched up in disgust. He shouldn’t care about those mangy, filthy, grubby
blood traitors.
That’s when he realized that today was the day he would go to look for a small
apartment that they, he and Har-Potter, were supposed to share together, while
Granger and Weasel shared another. Mother Weasel saw Draco sitting outside in
the chair and motioned for him to come in, although Draco was tempted to
apparate in to startle them Draco decided against it since Mister Weasel could
be in there.
After arguing Draco and Weasel Junior had gone their separate ways, but when
all Draco could afford was a two room apartment in the city with no bathroom he
was infuriated. Once he had paid for the month Draco was sent to the rooms that
he and Potter would be sharing. Many flights of stairs later, the blonde was
panting as he opened the door to his new home. Had Draco not been a Malfoy he
would’ve been reduced to sobs right then and there in the hallway of his newly
rented flat.
Har-Potter was sure going to be shocked when he saw the new living quarters he
would be sharing with his archenemy: Draco Malfoy. Draco then closed the door
and locked it, placing the keys in his pocket he went to go meet up with
Weasley so that they could go back to their new flatmates and show them their
new and surely wonderful homes.

The Rundown Flat

Potter walked into the putrid coloured apartment. The walls were an awful shade
of green that Draco was happy he couldn’t see, but in its wake left a nasty
brown colour. The carpet was littered in stains and was well-worn. Looking
around, Potter glared at Draco, “What the fuck is this?” Grey orbs met green
and as the blonde opened his mouth to tell him Potter kicked the table’s leg
causing it to break off and for the table to come crashing down.
The brunette walked up the Draco his finger stretched out in front of him,
“Malfoy! What the hell type of place is this?! Tell me this is your idea of a
sick joke! You filthy, mangy bastard!” Potters open-palm descended on Draco’s
check, leaving a loud smack sound as well as a throbbing red imprint. But
Potter didn’t stop his rant there; he closed his palm and punched Draco in the
stomach, “You used my money to rent this bloody dump! You don’t have any money
since you ran away from your fucking father and godfather! And you think you
can do this!” Draco fell to his hands and knees, gasping for breath, but was
rewarded with a swift knee to his chin. The grey-eyed teen flew onto his back
where he struggled to catch his breath as a metallic taste and crimson-coloured
water filled his mouth.
“Oh fuck!” Potter exclaimed, falling to his knees beside Draco. Draco blamed
Potter's mood swings on hormones.
“That’s one way to treat your roommate,” said another teen that was standing at
the door with one hand clasped on a glass and the other inside his pocket. His
hair was an odd, bright shade of blue and it was parted on the side. The blue
strands fell around his face and long blue bangs were tucked behind his ears,
but a few strays had escaped and were roaming freely on his face. His eyes
looked oriental as the ends of them pointed upward, but the startling blue eyes
were bright, even brighter then his hair. Black pants hung on his slender
waist, held up by a studded belt. Slightly tanned skin peeked out from under a
too-short green shirt; the label on the green cloth had faded from wash and
wear, leaving it unreadable. The blue-haired kid had a glass of some type of
alcohol, but he downed it and went over to the shower. A slender hand made its
way out of the pocket and turned on the shower, he held out the glass to catch
the falling water. He then went over to the blonde and tipped his head back as
he poured the water into his mouth. “Is he into this kind of stuff?”
The brunette laughed, “I wouldn’t know, slimy ferret probably is.” A look of
concern washed over Har-Potter’s face, “Is he okay? I don’t want to kill him; I
mean I need a roommate to help pay the rent.”

Bastard!
Draco didn’t say anything just allowed himself to be babied by the boy with
blue-hair. It was nice to have someone look after you every once in a while,
and it had been a long time since he had allowed anyone to be this close to him
in a rather long time. Striking blue eyes gazed into grey ones and Draco let
the edges of his lips twitched upward ever-so-slightly for a brief second.
“Who the hell are you anyway?” Always so eloquent that Harry Potter, one would
think the savior of the wizarding word would have proper manners. However this
new boy seemed to find it humorous as he chuckled and stood up, facing Potter.
Draco was offered a hand to help him stand, but being his old arrogant self, he
refused it and got up on his own despite the dizziness. A single black eyebrow
rose and it reminded Draco of Severus for a brief second before the teen opened
his mouth.
“I’m Tora, your next door neighbor. The walls are as thin as paper so I heard
your argument as well as the flogging.” His voice sounded odd, it didn’t have
an English accent, or even any other accents that Draco recognized. “So when
the two of you are fucking – as I’m sure the two of you will as make up sex –
keep it down for not only my sake, but the sake of everyone in the building.”
Potter sputtered for a bit as his green eyes went wide, “We aren’t fucking.”
Draco replied coolly as Potter continued to sputter and look like a damn fish
as his mouth opened and closed. This Tora character raised his right eyebrow
and laughed as if it was some kind of joke, but Draco wasn’t amused. A silver
stud caught Draco’s attention. It was perched in Tora’s tongue, and that’s when
the blonde realized that Tora had studs and safety pins all over his ears and
some of them looked down right painful. He flinched at the thought of the
safety pins being pushed into the cartilage of his ears.
“Well, I told you my name now what the hell are yours? I picked up that someone
is Malfoy and that he’s a mangy bastard, but I’m unsure who’s who.” He looked
between the pair of us, and Potter spoke up. His words were harsh and it made
Draco want to punch him in his face, but the blonde knew that he was no match
for the taller boy.
“I’m Potter and that thing over there? I call it Malfoy,” Potter spat out the
name like venom and Draco bared his teeth at the other teen, “but he’s really
nobody. You see his drunk, rich Father disowned him after running away from
home.” Draco couldn’t control his rage, he wanted to spring up and hit green-
eyes in his perfect, angelic face – and ass rape him. Well maybe not ass rape
him, but defiantly punch him until he was unconscious and bleeding all over the
floor, but his Malfoy manners got the better of him. He stood there and took
it, not letting the bastard see the wounds he was carving into his already
scarred flesh. Then, it was rather sudden, Tora stepped towards Potter and
extended his hand, Potter looked at him with an odd expression, but shoved his
own hand out. What Potter hadn’t been expecting was done; Tora bowed and kissed
the tanned skin. Wanting to vomit at this display Draco moved away from the
pair and sat down on the dingy, lumpy, frumpy couch. If they weren’t going to
move the boxes then Draco was going to make himself comfortable, but after
several attempts at getting comfortable – to no avail – Draco moved and went
over to Potter to poke him hard in the side.
“Get your lazy arse over there and-“ Draco’s eyes shot wide as Tora leaned in
and kissed Potter’s cheek, his blue eyes grinning as he leaned in to whisper
something into Potter’s ear. The soft moan Potter emitted made Draco lift an
eyebrow at the pair; Tora nibbled on Potter’s earlobe and the brunette pushed
him away. Tora was left standing in the door frame and as Potter lifted a box
he watched the brunette’s arse as he bent over, the smirk playing on his lips
was enough for Draco to realize what he was after.
Turning around Draco went and grabbed another box; placing it on the table he
began to unpack its contents. When, suddenly, Potter yelled, “Bloody hell!
There’s an effing shower in our kitchen!” Moving over to where Potter stood,
Draco examined that: yes there was a shower in their kitchen, but no toilet in
site.
As if reading their minds Tora said “The bathroom is seven doors to the right,
but as for the shower the hot water on works every once in a while so get use
to cold showers.” Tora looked down at his slightly tented black pants, “I think
I’m going to need one. If you guys have any questions or just wanna fuck come
right in!” And with that the other boy left, the doorway looked empty without
anyone standing there spying on them. Draco continued to unpack his things and
once all his boxes were empty he looked out side to she a very tall woman
wearing a short skirt and abnormally large heels. Becoming intrigued by the
tall woman, Draco moved to stand in the doorway, he heard Potter stifle a snort
from inside the room.
“Hello.” Was all Draco could think of to say, of course, this earned another
snicker from Potter, but when the woman turned around Draco was surprised at
what he saw.
The woman was actually quite obviously the opposite, with large, light blue
eyes that peered down at him through a wig that was no longer covering the red
bangs. Red stubble was beginning to appear, lipstick was half smeared off the
lips encircling a lit cigarette. Upon further inspection the equipment was
fairly obvious under the skirt.
“Oh! I’m sorry honey! I’m an absolute mess! No way to meet my new neighbors for
the first time! Let me get dressed into something more presentable… well
that’ll take about an hour… so you can help that stunningly handsome young man
in there fix up the place! You’re gorgeous! I’m sure you can somehow manage to
make that place look decent, just you standing in it makes it that much more
beautiful!” The woman… proceeded to ramble a bit more, ignoring the blonde’s
wide-eyed look and sheer horror. By now Potter was laughing his head off, the
deep chuckles of Potter’s changing voice could be heard in the hall way and
were probably loud enough to hear in Tora’s room.
“Blake you’re scaring him!” This Blake character looked down at the short
blonde before him and smiled sweetly; Tora walked over and leaned against the
wall. “Blake’s a cross dresser, I’m sure you’ve heard of them… he does shows at
the local bars. I don’t see how he can like getting his money after doing
shows, I always ask for pay up front.” Tora threw his head up, blue eyes
connected and Tora proceeded to laugh.
A lopsided grin made its way across Blake’s face, “Well… unlike you… I’m not
literally getting fucked every night. If I was a prostitute I’d want money up
front to. I wouldn’t want to get fucked twice…” Tora rolled his eyes and pushed
Blake with the palm of his hand, the red-haired man didn’t even stumble back in
his tall heals. Instead he picked Draco up despite his protests and brought him
to eye level, his feet were dangling well over a foot in the air, as the man
studied his face, “What’s your name, gorgeous?”
At first Draco didn’t say anything, but soon he decided he wanted his feet to
come in contact with the floor sometime soon. Pulling a face of arrogance, the
boy stated, “My name is Draco Malfoy.” The other man grimaced slightly causing
Draco to get defensive, “Don’t make fun of my name… okay it’s not like I chose
it!” But still the other man didn’t say anything, or in fact change his facial
features. That grimace was going to drive him insane, “What the hell is wrong?
What’s that look for?”
“You’re face” the other man said suddenly causing Draco to ask a startled
“What?”
“You’re face… that face. I don’t like it.” Eyebrows furrowed in confusion, and
the woman placed a quick kiss on his nose, “You look much cuter confused then
some chauvinistic pig. Keep you’re face beautiful babe!” and with the jiggling
of keys that the girl left only to close the door behind her, but Draco
couldn’t wipe the dumbfounded expression off his face.
“Blake seemed captivated by you; he picked you up on the first date! He never
does that.” Tora wiggled his eyebrows in an annoying manner that made Har-
Potter laugh; in turn Tora turned towards Potter and began to flirt shamelessly
with him despite Draco standing in the hallway next to him. As Draco turned
away from the flirtatious pair Potter snickered again, but they were slightly
dimmed as the blonde shut the door.
A knock on the purple coloured door caused Draco to jump and Potter to smile,
Tora had been popping the blue head of his in and out for the past several
hours. Rolling his eyes Draco stood up to answer it, but his eyes didn’t meet
the oriental boy, instead they met a tall pale man with red hair. The man
invited himself in and stood facing Draco, “Hello there, I don’t think we had
the proper greeting… I was still in character when you met me, I’m Blake.” The
man had a strong Irish accent that Draco couldn’t help but smirk at. A single
pale hand was extended and Draco took it into his own; it shocked him that the
Irishman had hands that were soft and smooth.
After lingering a tad too long, Draco looked up at the light-blue eyes and let
a smile tug at the corners of his mouth. The Irishman’s smile grew even larger
and he extended his left hand only to grab onto Draco’s right and yell over his
shoulder at Potter, “We are going out today! Don’t expect your roommate back
until a couple hours from now. You hear that Tora it’s your chance to fuck
Green Eyes!”
Tora’s voice could be heard clearly through the thin walls, “I will as soon as
I’m done with this customer! And how many times do I have to tell you not to
call me Tora when I’m with someone Christ!” For the past half hour Tora’s voice
along with another man’s could be heard moaning and groaning. Tora was putting
on quite a show to say the least. Potter’s face turned an impressive shade of
crimson at the casual mentioning of sex, Draco then smirked at Potter, but it
was cut short as he was jerked forward: Blake had already started moving.
Potter walked around the small apartment, sighing at the sight of the shower
before walking into the bedroom. The bed had a green quilt and sheets, but the
walls were a dark purple colour – the same as the door to the hallway. Green,
ratty, decrepit curtains hung over filthy, disgusting, cracked windows. After
surveying the room’s delightful colour scheme, Potter’s eyes hooked onto
something else.
It was laying face up on Draco’s nightstand; the small book had a leather cover
that Potter felt compelled to touch. Slender, Silky, Seeker fingers gripped
onto the thick, leather-bound book. The leather was not rough or new – it was
quite the opposite: smooth and worn, but still sleek, shinny, and soft. Potter
sat down on the green bed; his knees came up as he sat: feet planted in front
of him and back against the head board. The groans of springs bounced off the
walls as the groans of two men pierced through the thin plaster. Upon opening
the small leather book a scent that reminded him of the pretty girls in primary
school – who refused to talk with him – assaulted him.
The flowers he had been forced to plant soon followed the wake of the girls;
bad memories flooded his mind causing him to shake his head in attempt to
plunge the memories back down into his memory pool. He then fixed his green
eyes on the page and dove into a world he didn’t know existed.

but then it just kinda happened. As always any comments are appreciated.

A Journal Entry – I

August 19, 1983
My lovely Dragon today was like any normal day, well as normal as they can be
in this house hold. Your father took you aside and trained you to ride a
broomstick, since he is leaving at high noon tomorrow I thought that it’d be
nice to give you some time alone with him. However, I was wrong. I have
forgotten what your father has turned into; he is not the Lucius I love. But in
truth I never loved Lucius. I can’t love Lucius, and in turn he has become a
cynical man.
Upon my return to the garden – I had just received some wonderful Tulips and I
wanted to plant them – I saw your father. He must not have been in his right
state of mind because he started to hit you, I went over and stopped him, but
that was the only odd occurrence in the whole day. I figured I’d show you to
the horse’s stables tomorrow once your father is gone; I’ve always wanted to
spend more time with you. Yesterday when I gave you a bath you had horrible
bruises on your abdomen, you told me you “fell” but I don’t recall you falling.
Perhaps it was during the private training you’ve been having with your father;
he sure has been taking you into his study quite often these past few weeks.
I’m starting to worry if you’re going to forget who I am!
I don’t quite understand how he’s training you; after all, you are very young,
just out of diapers. Is it wrong of me to want my husband to leave so that I
can invite Severus over? Perhaps I shouldn’t talk about my love affair in this
journal for you, but I feel it is something you need to know. Hopefully I won’t
pass anytime soon, otherwise this will get into the hands of Lucius, and I
truly don’t want that.
It was a pact I made with your father, it was selfish of me. I was allowed to
continue my affair with Severus if I allowed Lucius to raise you how he saw
fit. How he saw fit consisted of secret meetings in his office and locked
doors. Still I’m unsure if I would’ve changed my mind, you seem healthy and you
love your father, so I’m sure nothing strange is occurring. If it was what
could I do now? Perhaps I’m a horrible mother, marring young was not what I
wanted – and much less having a child at that young of an age.
Don’t get me wrong though love, I don’t regret having you, however I wish it
would’ve been later. Your father always called me spunky. Severus calls me
feisty. Oh I do hope that you get this book when you are at least thirty!
December 21, 1985
The bruises I thought nothing of, the red marks I shrugged off, the burn marks
I ignored, the small cuts in your abdomen, the blood on your back were all
signs of what was happening. I can’t even remember when the first signs started
appearing, but then today I walked into your father’s study.
He wasn’t teaching you anything! He wasn’t teaching you! He was hurting you!
How could I miss the signs, the bruises, the burns, the cuts… all of it. I gave
you a bath every night and it took me this long to realize what it was. It took
me this long to take the hints you gave me. The snippets of stories that I knew
sounded bizarre. There are only a certain amount of times one can fall down the
stairs without someone noticing. There are only a certain amount of times you
can fall off your broom. And certainly the number of times you told me those
stories should’ve sent me in alarm mode. But it didn’t.
I never realized what was happening inside my very own home. What was happening
in my own home… how horrid! How awful! Your father’s words to you when I walked
in were not ones you should be saying in front of anyone much less young
children. The whip the descended on your back. The cries of help.
How dare your father do that to a child, his own son no less! How dare he not
tell me what he was doing! I’ll destroy my relationship with Severus if it’ll
stop this! Severus will understand. I don’t want my child to be abused any
longer.
Lucius doesn’t even realize what he’s doing because you inherited his trait,
the trait that you can’t use a scar potion or spell so that any mark on your
body is permanent. Any mark that’s not cured quickly leaves a white line, a
white gash, a white mark. I can’t even think straight after seeing that.
I tore you away from your father and took you into the bathroom to wash you up.
Your father – as you know – has always taken my wand away trying to confine me
into the house; I do have another wand, but I keep it hidden in my robes just
for emergencies. Upon taking it out your eyes got wide and I pressed my finger
to my lips and you did the same. Your wounds were healed as best I could
without arising suspicion from Lucius and after washing you I took you to the
stables. Horses have always calmed your nerves and I figured that you needed
it, later tonight I will confront Lucius about the situation. If I know Lucius
– and I’m pretty sure I do – he will avoid the entire situation and if I bring
it up he will yell and try to take Severus away as well as you.
I won’t allow him to do that. He can take away Severus, but he can not take you
away. I love you more then him, you are my baby boy. You may be spoiled a
little bit, but you are so lovely. I’d spoil you over what Lucius does any day.
I’m still wondering how long this abuse has lasted, and how I can stop it.
January 6, 1990
At nearly ten years old you are starting to scare me. You look like your
father. Talk like your father. Think like your father. But I think there is
hope for you yet, I think that despite the arragenged marrage your father has
announced I can get rid of it and get you free from him. It is my last chance
before you go off to Hogwarts to fend for yourself. Before I possible loose
your forever.
How do I talk to you about this? How do I pry you away from Lucius. It’s been
ridiculous these past few days with you strutting and throwing your head up.
You are the world, love… but you don’t have to be an arse about it, and most
defiantly not like your father. Please listen love… Please… it has been a
trying ten years – with the pregnancy and then you being snatched away from me
by your father only to be abused by him – however despite that you must (if you
already haven’t) break away, run away from this household. Never be the cruel
man your father was. Even if you run away and never return as long as I know
that you are away I’ll be elated. I’ll be ecstatic because you’ve gotten away
from the abuse.
So when you are reading this if you haven’t already ran away, you can go, to
Severus’s if you must, to anyone’s really except your father’s or Voldemorts (I
truly do not believe that man is dead). If you have to decide on a side don’t
go with Voldemort go with whatever else is available even if it’s just Muggles
and house elves!
November 1, 1982
I over heard your father talking about a dark curse, it was suppose to spilt
something into several pieces – vague I know – but I missed what he said.
However apparently it was split unintentionally. Unsure of what he was talking
about I paused at the door to hear the rest of the story. But I could only hear
certain words. Something about a mark, and some sort of nonsense about cups and
diaries. It sounded ridiculous; perhaps your father is a closet pedophile
because he started to talk about a boy he had to find. Quite preposterous I
must say. I can’t help but wonder exactly how sane your father still is as he
rambles about cups, diaries, boys, and books to himself in his study. And what
exactly is that loon up to? Probably something dark that he can’t tell his
subordinate wife about.
My dearest Draco when you get married don’t let your wife think of you like a
senile, arrogant male – it’s not becoming of yourself, or a romance.
He started talking about a mark and how it should’ve never happened – your
father is very vain about his skin and with that disease of his any simple cut
leaves a scar.

Broken Window
The Fire Escape

Grey eyes looked in the direction of the other room, the light was on and Har-
Potter was no where to be seen. The keys smacked into the broken table only to
slide to the floor where Draco left them, forgotten. Curiosity got the better
of the blonde and he walked over to the open doorway, when he stepped into the
room the floor boards creaked knocking the brunette out of his trance. Wide,
green eyes looked at Draco with something new, something that Draco hadn’t seen
before. Glancing briefly away he spotted the naked bedside table; those grey
eyes narrowed and followed a path to the other boy where he was holding a
leather-bound book.
The book was tossed to onto the mattress lightly and sprung open to pages laden
with Narcissa Malfoy’s hand writing. The smaller boy took a step back as
Potter’s feet hit the purple carpet with a muffled thud. He couldn’t understand
why he would want to read it, what possessed the brunette to read it, how dare
he read it.
Punching the brunette’s beautiful face wouldn’t get anywhere; he just wanted to
know what he had read. What did he know? His mother – from what he could tell
so far – chatted often about his abused and things Lucius was up to. But what
had he read? It was a slim chance that he had not read about the abuse, but he
hoped that was the case.
An attempted to keep his voice steady would surely fail as emotions racked his
body – anger and despair shook his ego at the thought of Potter finding out
such useful blackmailing information. But would the Gryffindor actually use it
against him like a Slytherin would? After clearing his throat, he opened his
mouth to ask the question he wanted – yet didn’t want – the answer to.
“What did you read?” The voice was soft, and Draco cursed his weakness he
needed to show Potter that it didn’t bother him that he had read the diary, not
that he was on the verge of a breakdown. Potter’s eyes eluded his and looked to
the floor, his toes buried themselves into the worn carpet, it was as though if
he worked hard enough the old, crumbly floor would give way and he’d vanish
into the room bellow. Upon realizing that this was actually possible in this
nasty old building Draco began to get irritated. He just wanted an answer.
“I read about the abuse and,” but Draco didn’t hear any more, he couldn’t
listen to the words spewing out of Potter’s mouth. He was feeling faint, and
could control his emotions – he was sure several emotions had passed over his
face as Potter’s own had an apologetic look smeared all over it. “If I had
known… I never would’ve…” trailing off, Potter looked straight at Draco’s eyes;
the broken gaze was invading Draco’s own state of despair.
“I didn’t know!” Potter cried out desperately, for a brief moment a look of
just sheer anguish passed over Draco’s features, before the mask was back in
place. Wondering if he had just imagined it, Potter made to stand, but Draco
turned his back to the other boy and stalked haughtily away. By the time the
brunette made it to the door, saying loudly that he didn’t know over and over,
Draco was already disappearing into the bathroom door. Potter leaned forward
and banged his forehead on the doorframe.
Potter Knew. However what the brunette didn’t know or hear was when Draco
closed the door to the bathroom his right hand flew instantly to his mouth and
nose. It gripped there trying to muffle the sounds of his deep breaths and
shudders. Potter Knew. Finger tips brushed against the wire frames of his
glasses, upon impulse he gripped the wire and threw them to the floor. Glasses
fled from Draco and bounced across the floor. His body smashed into the door
behind him as his knees gave way. Potter Knew. He tried to smother the sounds
of his sobs; tried to stop the tears from falling; tried to sew himself
together. But it was all to no avail as the tears continued to fall and as his
sobs just increased in both volume and frequency. Potter Knew. Quivering all
over he tried to hold himself together by grasping both arms, allowing sobs to
escape from his body freely. Eyes closed tightly trying to become the dam to
stop the rivers of tears, but nothing seemed to stop the steady flow from
drifting across mountains of flesh, only to plummet onto black clothing. Potter
Knew.
A soft knock on the solid oak door brought Draco out of his sniffling,
sniveling, self-loathing stupor. Not saying a word, Draco sat with his back
flat against the door, unmoving as he pictured Potter with his forehead to the
door a satisfied grin plastered onto his beaming face, awaiting the door to
open to meet red-rimmed eyes, and tear-stained cheeks. But a soft voice called
out to Draco, the voice he had been talking to all afternoon – Blake. The voice
was almost inaudible, and Draco couldn’t comprehend the words until he listened
closely, letting himself mask all of his emotions once more.
“… Are you okay…?” called out the voice attentively, but the blonde sitting
against the door didn’t answer, Blake didn’t know what to do. He extended his
hand and knocked softly on the door, but Blake didn’t here an answer. Leaning
his head against the door, Blake whispered into the closed door how he wanted
to help Draco, but still the door didn’t open. Even though he chatted about how
that had become closer friends; even though he told Draco about his own
problems; even though Blake stayed against the door waving the shower-goers
away. Draco didn’t mutter a single word.
It seemed like ages, but Blake still sat, his back pressed up against Draco’s
through a thick, oak door, and offering his silent support.
The door opened.
Blake stood and slowly opened the door to see Draco, a box of cigarettes in one
hand that arm wrapped around himself like a sake, while the other was holding a
thin cigarette, his elbow oscillating precariously on his crossed legs. Grey
eyes were looking away, towards the window, and one foot was swinging from side
to side. The rusted edge of the corroded, crème-coloured tub contaminated the
thin, black-linen trousers Draco was wearing, but the blonde didn’t seem to
care as dust, lint, and tears were scattered about the pants – tainting them.
Blake felt like he was disturbing a photo session for a certain type of
cigarettes upon entering the smoky bathroom.
“He read my mother’s diary,” Draco stated simply, after letting out a long
stream of smoke from between his chapped lips. Blake didn’t speak; the corners
of his mouth were turned down, eyes watching as the end of the cigarette turned
orange to grey only to fall off as Draco let out another stead puff. “It talked
about history I want no one to know, history that no one knew.” Standing
abruptly from his seat on the tub, Draco threw his cigarette at the wall and
paced around the small room. Linoleum flooring groaned as if in pain as boots
walled in erratic, frantic circles. “That’s why I’m upset!” he yelled, his
pacing stopped after a few long moments of silence.
“Do you wish to tell me?”
“No!” Draco cried out at Blake’s question, his hands were clenched into fists
at his sides. Draco took off, pushing Blake aside and exciting the bathroom.
Potter stood in the doorway his head still pressed up against the wood
doorframe as if punishing himself for bad behavior. Storming past, Draco did
not listen as Potter opened his mouth to speak; he went to the fire escape and
lit up another cigarette, debating what to do next. Potter came to the fire
escape and stood behind the window, green eyes looked on through the window.
Neither spoke.
They stood there; the only noises that could be heard were the inhale and
exhale of their breath and Draco’s cigarette. Har-Potter sighed deeply and
turned to leave, but he lingered for a moment and said, “I might have read the
diary without your consent, but I found out something about Voldemort that I
needed to know… so I guess thank you… I won’t ever read it without asking you
first, but I think that it will be to our best interest for you to let me read
it.”
Silence.
Potter’s feet could be heard as they padded across the old carpet. “You have to
ask me first.” Draco said, “you have to let me read the whole book first
though, I want to read the whole book first.” A nod was sent towards the
blonde. They had come to an agreement, “And you have to let me smoke in the
apartment.”
A grin spread across Draco’s face, while Potter looked simply outraged and
shocked. “You have got to be kidding me… you’ll trade off your mother’s diary
for cigarettes.”
“Would you rather it be sex?”
“What?!”
“Don’t be a prude now.” Potter’s face contorted into something Draco couldn’t
decipher, but then he couldn’t stand it anymore. He let out a muffled laugh and
Potter threw a sofa cushion at him muttering something about Slytherin jerks
trying to be funny.

The Attempt

The two boys opened the door to see many faces that they didn’t know within
their putrid-coloured walls that were decorated with bright red, green, and
yellow streamers with a big sign written in blue letters “HAPPY HOUSE WARMING
FUCKERS.” All of the guests greeted them with grins on their faces. Blake came
up to Draco and kissed him, Tora followed his example, but instead of a chaste
kiss he full on snogged Potter.
“As you can see the sign was courteously of Tora, and he wants me to remind you
that it was hand-painted.” Blake said his smile faltering just a little as
Draco tugged at the sleeve of his shirt while looking at the ground. “Drinks
are at the table over here, and food is at the opposite side of the room. Yes
the layout was Tora’s idea; I would never make people walk across the room to
get their drinks! A drag queen does like her booze and boys!” Laughs went
around as Blake took a drink and then brought Draco in for another kiss.
Throughout the night Draco scarcely was seen without a frown on his face, and
the moments he didn’t it was often times a forced tug at the corner of his
mouth. He was seen tugging at his long sleeves loads more times then he was
seen forcing a half-grin. Blake was worried about his boyfriend and went over
to the boy and pulled him into the hallway, “Are you okay, honey?”
Reaching up, Draco forced a smile and tousled his boyfriend’s short red hair
and nodded. Blake leaned forward and placed a kiss on Draco’s nose then moved
downwards and kissed his lips long and hard. “Don’t wear yourself out; I’ve
gotten something special planned later this evening for just the two of us.”
Nodding, Draco got up on his tippy-toes and kissed Blake’s neck.
Draco tried to enjoy himself by commingling with the other neighbors. Potter
was being a natural by chatting with everyone, while Draco struggled to go up
to people. Anyone with blond hair Draco avoided, his father’s face was on all
of them, causing him to shiver and freeze-up. Finally the party was simmering
down leaving only a few of the closet friends of Blake and Tora.
“Wanna do something fun…?” Murmured one of the men, a drunken grin on his face.
“Where’s that round table you have?” It was soon in the middle of the room with
chairs for each of the remaining boys leaving the girls chatting amongst
themselves. “Where’s my slutty girlfriend? I’d ask Tora to do it but I’m afraid
if I knew it was him I wouldn’t get a woody easily.”
“What are we exactly doing?” Draco asked, causing all of the boys to look at
him in surprise except Potter who was wearing an equally blank expression.
“Sorry I lived in a boarding school up until this moment… we didn’t exactly do
these types of things. It was all studies and fuck buddies.” Grey eyes looked
around the table and met green, “Potter can tell you that’s all it was.”
“And sports… and communal showers… and well fucking for me more then anything
else.” Potter bragged, his expression of arrogance made Draco grit his teeth.
“Well… we get a girl to go around the circle and suck guys off until they are
good and hard and if the guys can tell who’s the person that’s getting sucked
off then… that person tells everyone something. What will be tonight’s
question?” Said a boy with one of those awful mullets that were in ‘style’ now.
Needless to say it made Draco want to vomit, although his own long, blond hair
was not exactly up to his own standards.
“Who you lost your virginity to. Both boy, girl, arse, and dick.” Murmured
another boy – the boy who suggested the game in the first place. “Pammy, get
your arse over here, you whore.” The girl in question stood up and smacked him
in the face.
“Do… do… we have to take off our pants?” Draco asked his voice faltering at the
thought of the girl seeing his scars. The boys explained that all you had to do
was take it out of the flap. After quite some time Draco felt breathing on his
dick. And a tongue. Long strokes up and down his cock. He tried to keep a
straight face, but the sensation was too much.
“Haha, Blondie’s gettin’ sucked.” Tora commented, “Now who have you fucked?”
Cursing his luck, Draco looked away for a moment and then blushed crimson. “You
have to tell us a story of how it happened, too.”
“Well…” Draco felt like protesting, but it was a game and he figured he’d just
get it over with. “There’s this girl named Pansy at my boarding school, I’ve
fucked… well tried to anyways twice.” Potter started laughing, “Shut up Potter,
she’s not awful looking… and once you get past that voice its okay, but god…
She was on her period the first time and you see she’s a total slut.
“So it was going alright with like the licking and when she took off her
knickers it was okay… but then she… impaled herself onto me and it was just
really sudden so when I looked down… and saw the blood running down my penis…
it’s embarrassing!” Draco struggled, “It was so… wet and just gross I couldn’t
stand it and then the blood! Oh fuck it, I vomited and then passed out.”
Everyone was silent for a moment and then laughter could be heard throughout
the whole apartment, Draco was sure even the hermit next door was laughing.
Blake placed a hand on Draco’s shoulder, and attempted to hide his smile and
snickering. “What about the boy?”
“I’m not queer… I don’t fuck boys… and I haven’t been fucked…” Draco murmured
his eyes downcast. “After all, I’m a Malfoy I have to continue the line… I’m
the last fertile Malfoy…” Draco trailed off, but Potter heard him and said
nothing.
“Blake! You lucky dog! You get to fuck a virgin… but… then again… he’s in the
denial stage.” Tora remarked, his eyes sparkling with obvious amusement. “Now
zip up your trousers Draco you can still call out people. Let the games
continue!”
A few more people were knocked out, but Tora, Blake, and Potter were still up.
None of the stories were any interesting besides the one about prison sex and
plane sex. When the game had gone on for several more minutes Potter suddenly
let out a rather loud moan and started panting.
“I can’t help it… I’m always the vocal one in sex… god…” Potter remarked, his
brow had started to sweat. “As for my story… okay well my first time toping a
girl was in a threesome with my two best friends. Hermione wanted me to fuck
her while her boyfriend, Ron, watched… and… well he later joined in, but we
never actually penetrated each other. She was rather out of it... said that she
wanted to do something exciting... I can't beleive that Ron didn't protest to
the idea or that Hermione even came up with it. Maybe they were drunk.” Potter
‘hmmed’ as if trying to remember what exactly happened during his first time
having sex with a boy.
“In football… well… my captain decided it was time for me to learn some new…
more inventive moves and so I was held after practice… and when we got back in…
like I said communal showers… his name was Oliver Wood… and he was well lets
just say quite older then me… and I was twelve… so that was the first time I
was fucked up the ass. Needless to say it was inventive and very painful. He
was nearly twenty-five centimeters long fully erect and quite thick. Luckily we
were in the shower so it was quite slippery…
“The first topping happened oddly enough quite recently, since all my partners
have always been a few years older they always want to fuck me. But there’s
this one… well I had sex with twins – two boys, with red-hair, who are the
brothers of my best friend, Ron. Well, you see I was being fucked by this one
when the other came in and saw me leaned against the wall. What you have to
understand is that they have this freaky connection. And they find nothing
wrong with fucking one another… they are actually long term partners –
unofficially. One pretends he’s straight so that he won’t raise suspicion, but
anyways… so he gets in front of me… and well… then I penetrated him and we had
some fun. End of story.”
Draco just stared at the boy, “Exactly how many have you fucked Potter?” But
his question was ignored and the game simply continued.
-
When Draco went to tousle his boyfriend’s hair, Blake grabbed his wrist and
pulled up the black sleeve to see the scarred, nearly-translucent skin. “Why
would you do that?!” Draco cried, panic rising in his voice. Overcome by
emotion he yanked his arm away and walked to the window – the farthest point
away from his apparent boyfriend. “I’m so ugly under these clothes… please
don’t make me show you what a monster I am.”
Blake slowly walked up to the other boy and placed his hands on his shoulders,
“Please let me see. You are beautiful.” Draco simply shook his head and turned
around to face the other boy – or rather man. “Nothing can make me feel
different, please let me see.” Those once soft hands were placed on the end of
the black shirt and were used to raise the shirt over Draco’s head leaving him
naked to the peering eyes. “Oh Draco… Draco… What happened?” Upon pulling off
the boy’s pants, Blake let out a gasp and again said, “Oh Draco!”
“My father disowned me so I jumped out a broken window and ran away… I tore off
my clothes because… because… I was leaving a trail… and he’d find me and bring
me back… he’d want me to be a proper Malfoy. But I know I’m a faggot and I
can’t help it.
“Also… I was unsure if my clothes had any type of thing to track where I was
going; my father was psycho like that. He wants to take over the world with
this buddy of his. And I don’t agree with his methods and the whole thing… so I
ran away. When he finds out I’m gay, oh Merlin… I’m a dead man.”
Slowly the blonde let out a breath. The scars were visible on his body, but
Blake didn’t seem to care about them. He didn’t seem to mind them. “They make
you even more beautiful. You are the single most angelic looking boy I’ve ever
laid my eyes on. With your pale skin, blond hair, and grey eyes, but it’s not
just that. It’s not just a physical thing.” Reaching his hand forward, Blake
took his hair into his hand and stroked his head. “It’s so much more then a
physical thing. You’ve been here for a few weeks and we’ve been together for
four weeks. I don’t want to be going too fast for you, but I feel like we’ve
known each other for so much longer then what we’ve actually been together. If
you will allow it I’d like to,” Blake took both of Draco’s hands into his,
“take our relationship to another level.”
Soon Draco was pressed up against the bed; Blake’s hands were planted beside
his body on the green comforter. A tongue came out and ran up and down his body
leaving a trail of dripping saliva. His tongue was scalding his body with its
wet heat. The legs that were straddling his body were touching his bare, naked
thighs making him unbearably hot. Sweat pooled on his forehead leaving the skin
drenched. Red lips scurried up the body and planted themselves on top of pink
ones, drowning them. Hands gripped too forcefully at the pale arms. Rigid, pink
lips remained motionless. Grey eyes closed tight. The stiff, pale body let the
seeping tongue pass over it again before the red lips descended past the naval
to the flaccid organ.
“You alright?” Blake asked. Draco nodded laboriously. “May I?”
“Yes.” Draco stiffly replied.
“Can I… enter you?”
Draco didn’t know what to say, it felt wrong. Everything was off. “Blake…” He
started slowly, “I like you a lot… but…” The look of disappointment on Blake’s
face made Draco change his mind, “I’d… be honored if you… would do it.” A smile
spread across those red lips.
Encouraged by Blake, Draco rolled over. Searing heat. A tongue slithered itself
inside the hole. The scorching temperature made Draco squirm. Blake ripped off
his own pants and shucked off his briefs. Those grey eyes closed tightly as the
tongue returned, he couldn’t take it. It didn’t feel right. The touches burned
the skin.
A pale face buried into the mattress below trying to ignore the water wanting
to run down the cheeks, trying to ignore as one escaped onto the comforter
leaving a green spot darker then the rest, trying to ignore as other’s
followed, until a sob wracked his body. The tongue stopped. Everything stopped.
The heat cooled down, no longer burning him.
“I’m sorry!” Draco sobbed, hiding his face from view. The legs left his
allowing the burned skin to cool. The mattress dipped as Blake put a hand over
his face and sighed in frustration. “I’m so sorry!”
“It’s okay.” Blake forced out before standing up, leaving the blonde alone on
the bed, and slamming the door on his way out. Another slam followed as Blake
left the apartment to across the hall where he, yet again, slammed the door to
his flat.
“I’m sorry…” Draco cried out. The only person that heard him was Potter who was
sitting in the next room.
Potter was half tempted to go see what state the other boy was in, but he
decided not to, since he figured that it wasn’t his place to worry about the
other boy – after all their history together wasn’t exactly good. But curiosity
got the better of him so Potter stood up, went to the door, and opened it
slightly.
Draco was completely nude and sobbing. His face was pressed into the mattress
with his legs tucked underneath his wracking, shaking, quivering body. Potter
closed the door, allowing it to slowly shut without noise. The body of the
brunette pressed against the door after heaving a sigh, he felt like comforting
the other boy, but he knew he shouldn’t intrude. After all, they weren’t even
friends.
 
Author’s Note: I am in the process of writing chapter 20 as we speak, but due
to my busy schedule, until sometime in October, I will be releasing a chapter
every two weeks. I currently have enough chapters to last me until November
20th, but I will most likely have more completed during that time. The whole
story, if everything goes as plan, will be finished May 21st. The story will be
a prologue, 28 chapters, two diary interludes, and an epilogue in length – a
total of 32. In case you were wondering, I just thought I should tell you my
plan.

Broken Window
The Vacant Street

Potter stood outside on the side walk, his hands were in his hair, tugging and
pulling at the long black stands. Looking around the vacated street, Draco had
no idea where they were. Despite it being summer the air was chilly and humid.
Standing in a short sleeve t-shit and shorts, Potter started shivering in the
slight cold air or perhaps out of anticipation of whatever they were here to
do. Potter claimed it was of the utmost importance that they come here after he
read the diary. He didn’t understand what was so pressing that they would come
here, to some lot in a neighborhood that didn’t look like it had too much
class. Then again the brunette didn’t have too much class to begin with.
Shaky breathing could be heard as air passed through chapped, red, parted lips.
Draco didn’t understand why there were here, and why they had yet to see
anything besides an empty alley-way that Potter was staring into. It was as if
the boy was looking for something that wasn’t there, Potter walked up to him
and handed him a napkin that had an address scribbled on it, when Draco looked
up the napkin was suddenly lit on fire. He mumbled the address beneath his
breath and suddenly a house appeared in front of him. Draco was unsure as to
what to do so he walked up to the house and went in. Following the shadowy
figure of Potter, the blonde walked into a room where Potter was rummaging
around in drawers and cushions.
“What are you doing?”
“Looking, Malfoy.”
“For what?”
“Shut up and help me.”
“How the hell can I help you if I don’t know what we are looking for?”
“A locket.”
Potter seemed so sure of himself. It was as if the thought of looking for a
locket was self explanatory. Draco didn’t ask anything, Potter had been very
secretive from the very beginning and Draco thought that if Potter gave him no
answers then that gave him the right to do the very same. The boys commenced
into looking around the broken, condemned, and down-right-filthy house. Looking
through drawers they found nothing; looking through cushions they found
nothing; looking through closets they found nothing. It was as though the
locket was gone forever.
Potter sat down on one of the cushions on the floor and heaved a heavy sigh, at
that moment the boy looked less then half his age as his features fell into a
pouty-frown. Complete shambles is what could describe the room around the two
boys. Drawers were opened, papers thrown on the floor along with everything
else. Still Har-Potter sat in the middle, uncaring that the room would take
hours to put back together, much less the rest of the house. A single blue-
upholstered cushion sat in the far corner of the room and upon that cushion
Draco collapsed; his arse hit the spongy surface and crushed the awful print
into discombobulated forms. And there they sat. The two of them unhappy at the
way things where going, Draco didn’t want to be with Potter, and Potter hadn’t
found his lost locket – the poor boy.
“You know who’s a bitch?” Potter asked his back facing Draco, but Draco could
see that Harry was shaking profusely – from what – he didn’t know.
“I don’t really care, but I have the sneaking-suspicion that you are going to
tell me anyway.” Ha! Take that Potter; perhaps Draco was the bitch in question.
Might as well give Potter a bitchy response to make up his mind on who he was
thinking about.
“Other then you, Mundungas Fletcher is the biggest Prick I know.” Spinning
around in a large circle, Potter turned to face Draco; his giant, green,
glacial eyes glaring daggers at the other boy. “What a shame it was that you
didn’t die in that fucking field. Do you realize that I was the one that saved
your sorry arse?”
“Always trying to play hero, eh Potter? Always wanting to take the credit!
Always wanting to fucking be in the spot light!” Draco shot back, his tongue
running along pointed teeth, and a glare piercing the other boy from his
pointed face.
“Perhaps you wanted to be indebted to the famous Harry Potter so that you could
have alliance with all of us! With everyone!” Towering over Draco as he stood,
Potter took a huge step forward, towards the boy sitting on the blue cushion.
“You know I’m not a Death Eater! You know that! You sorry fucker can’t see past
stupid childhood rivalries! And, damn it, I fucking hate you for pushing that
in my face every time we argue!” Standing up, Draco took a small step forward –
still glaring at the taller boy.
“Perhaps I wouldn’t argue it if it wasn’t true!” Another step was taken.
“Perhaps you need to get your fucking facts right before you start a go at me!”
“Perhaps my facts are right! You sorry shit of a man!”
“Perhaps I didn’t want you to save my sorry arse in the first place!”
“Perhaps! Wait… what?” Potter stopped yelling. Turning around, Draco ran a hand
through his long blonde hair and pinched the bridge of his nose, whilst looking
up into the ceiling of peeling paint. “You didn’t want… to be saved?”
“I said perhaps. I didn’t want you to save me! How classic is that? Potter
saving his rival – butt naked no less – what a field day the papers would have
hyping up that story! I can see the sorry headline: A Malfoy Saved By A Potter
From Ultimate Peril!” Draco motioned with his hand writing out the headline
with his index finger, then letting his head fall down, until his face was
towards the ground. “Why the fuck would I want that?”
“I would never go to the press and tell them.”
Draco rolled his eyes and shook his head making a ‘pfft’ sound before saying,
“Like word never gets out without Potter saying so. Merlin knows there’s a
Potter Paparazzi on the look out all the time, taking snap shots of Potter in
action!”
“Potter Paparazzi? Please tell me you are joking.” The wide-eyed look on
Potter’s face was enough to tell you that he had no idea that people were
following him merely for photos. “I’m not even a celebrity! Like… really… I’m
not I mean I don’t do movies and all that.” Grey eyes rolled in their sockets
at the brunette’s words. “I’ll show you!”
Feet descended making an awful ruckus – Madam Black started to wail about blood
traitors and the louse of a son she had. Potter’s feet – followed by Draco’s –
ran from the living room out into a hallway where beheaded elves sat on the
walls and a crazed portrait had her tongue lolling. A flash greeted their exit.
Cursing at the momentary blindness Potter rubbed his eyes before opening them
to see not a camera, but a storm. Wind howled as an owl shrieked. Grinning at
the lack of paparazzi, Potter turned around to see Draco raising an eyebrow
slightly at the other boy. Potter ran into the humid air and into a park; Draco
not knowing the area had to follow the currently-crazed cretin. A bench sat
under a single street light and there is where Potter decided to sit, his feet
jumped unto the seat of the wooden bench causing a creak to echo into the
night. Potter sat upon the back of the chair with his feet in the seat and
Draco, despite better judgment followed his example and sat next to him.
A single white cigarette was extracted from Draco’s left pocket of his black
jacket followed by a green lighter; a flame lit the end of the cigarette. Draco
placed the lit cigarette into his mouth and took a long drag, pink lips formed
a small, oval shape to exhale all of the grey smoke. Green eyes met grey and
the two looked at each other in the hot and humid night.
“Fuck it all.” Har-Potter commented before reaching over and taking the
cigarette out of Draco’s hand and taking his own sip of smoke before coughing
slightly. Draco didn’t comment the newbie smoker behavior before snatching the
cigarette back and sucking on the end a good long while. The stream of smoke
that followed was blown into Harry’s face and seemed unending. At the end Draco
yawned unlike a Malfoy, since he didn’t even bother to cover his mouth.
Suddenly a loud ruckus could be heard throughout the street. Chanting and
screaming followed; Harry’s hand went immediately to his empty back pocket
where his wand usually lay. Draco stood and pushed Harry… no Potter off the
bench into the bushes. When Potter started to curse the blond Draco shushed
him.
Men with painted faces and British flags were parading around the streets like
crazy people. Potter peeked his head up and out of the bushes to look at the
drunken people in the street. Draco couldn’t help but look at the men with his
mouth slightly open from shock, while Potter stood and started to run towards
the mob. The brunette was stopped when Draco ran up to the other boy.
“What the bloody hell are you up to, Potter?” Draco looked at Potter with a
serious expression on his face. The other boy didn’t seem to see what the
problem was. “Potter are you just looking for trouble? Haven’t people been good
enough to you not to put your stupid arse on the line to go commingle with
drunkards?”
“Relax Malfoy, I’m just going to have some fun! You can come with me if you
want to, you big Pansy.” Draco decided not to comment on the pansy comment and
followed Potter to the crowd.
Potter started to yell and cheer, like the rest of them; he seemed to be a
natural. Staying to the left Draco stayed in the grass slightly behind the rest
of the group, but keeping a mindful-eye on Potter and his reckless habits.
After about two minutes Draco increased his speed slightly until he was next to
the group where he peeked out of the grassy area and took a few steps onto the
road. Hands grabbed him around the shoulders and he instantly froze expecting
to turn around to see Lucius with his wand pointed at his head, but when Draco
turned his head to the left he saw Potter’s beaming smile. Green met grey, but
once again it was not hostile, but rather neutral as Potter sang at the top of
his lungs for something Draco didn’t know and he doubted Potter knew.
Somehow Draco obtained a cape made out of a British flag and was encouraged to
yell and sing out-of-key with the rest of them. What shocked Potter was when he
actually gave in to peer-pressure and started to join in the silliness while
taking a large swig from a flask. Harry took Draco by the hands, caught in the
moment – or perhaps it was the feeling of the alcohol warming and buzzing their
minds – and started to dance jump down the street ahead of the others screaming
bloody murder about Merlin-knows what.
When they appeared back in the hall Potter grabbed Draco by the front of his
shirt and pulled his body to his own. Rough hands pulled at Draco’s shirt and
tugged him up the stairs where their flat was. Those same rough hands clasped
around a pale neck and tugged him through the dark hallway. Draco struggled.
Scarred arms pushed away from Potter and tried to get away from him. One rough
hand let go of Draco’s neck in favor of pulling at his long blond strands in an
attempt to bring Draco further into submission. The door gave way as Potter
slammed into it and then he shut it using one of their chairs as a barricade.
Potter pulled Draco into the room and threw him up against the wall, groping
the smaller boy Potter started to thrust against the other boy’s body.
“Fuck!” Draco cried out as pleasure hit him; he was no longer struggling
against the rough hands, but rather obeying their wishes. When the hands pulled
his shirt off, Draco struggled a bit with himself, but his prick won the battle
with his self-conscious. A tongue trailed down Draco’s body, following the
scars and pausing at the nipples. “Fuck!” Draco called out again louder this
time.
“Not yet.” Harry replied, his hands grabbed onto the blonde’s humping hips and
stopped them to unbutton the black trousers. Pants followed by boxer-briefs
were shoved down around the boy’s feet. Shoes were heaved off and throw to an
unknown area of the room leaving the taller boy fully clothed and the shorter
boy completely naked. Chapped lips roughly shoved against soft, scarred flesh.
Teeth bit at the skin and traced their way from the navel to the blonde’s neck
where Potter continued to bit and suck harshly at the pale flesh. Groans
escaped Draco as Potter started to take off his own clothes.
Draco knew he shouldn’t be doing this; Draco knew he shouldn’t be enjoying
this; Draco knew he shouldn’t be letting this continue. But he allowed Potter
to pull his own pants down, to pull out his cock, to thrust their two cocks
together. Fucking was a big option and that scared Draco.
“I’m a virgin...” Draco cried out as Potter licked his fingers. Teeth latched
onto the nearest nipple when Potter started to seek out the virgin pucker. “I
haven’t put anything in there…” The blonde cried out in a panic, having
thoughts for the first time since their start. When a finger breeched the hole
he moaned loudly at the strange intrusion, yet it was not an unpleasant
feeling.
“That’s better; it’ll be nice and tight. Fuck.” Potter stood up and twisted
Draco around until his stomach was pressed up against the wall. Draco’s erratic
breathing was from both anticipation and hesitation. The rough hands were once
again on Draco’s body. Calluses ran over smooth, scarred skin. Another finger
joined the other, roughly loosening the hole so that he could fuck him. Hastily
he put in a third finger ignoring the pained gasp and then groan that came from
the submissive.
Spitting into his hand, Potter rubbed the saliva up and down his cock and then
pulled his foreskin back. He tried to push in, but the hole wouldn’t let him.
In turn, Potter spat into his hand and rubbed the spit liberally on his
erection. Cursing he put both of his thumbs into the hole, and pulled the hole
open, ignoring the curses and struggles of Draco withering against the wall.
“Potter! Merlin! Fuck!” Draco sobbed out, his forehead pressed up against the
wall. “Haven’t you done this before? This hurts like a bitch!” Tears fell from
the boy’s eyes as pain erupted from his arse. When, suddenly, Potter shoved his
prick into the to-tight hole, leaving the boy bellow him to howl in pain. “If
sex hurts this bad I’m going to be a monk!”
“God… Malfoy loosen up a little… I can’t even move.” Potter was panting on top
of Draco, the smell of liquor was strong on both of their breaths. “Push
against me, come on… I know it hurts it won’t in a bit… bare back…” Draco, just
wanting to will the pain away, did as he was told and pushed back against the
blunt and hard intrusion. Roughly Harry shoved forward making the boy below him
bellow. His throbbing arse protested the movements. “Where is it?”
“Just stop if it’s going to be this painful!” Draco cried out his hair covering
up his face from view. Potter in turn pulled out and walked away leaving Draco
on the floor gasping for breath; grey eyes closed, holding back the tears as
his arse ached, but when fingers started to massage the quivering pucker in
attempts to make it feel better did Draco finally open his eyes.
“I’ll go slower…” Shushing the protests that were on the tip of Draco’s tongue,
Potter extracted a tube of some-type of jelly substance.
“We are not trying this again… you don’t have…” Draco trailed off and tried to
ignore the water running down off the tip of his nose. His voice was strangled
and he could barely talk.
“It feels good, trust me… I have proper preparation… Get on your hands and
knees.” Against his better judgment – Draco figured that it was probably the
booze – he obliged to Potter’s directions and got on all fours. Still massaging
the loosening hole, Potter leaned forward and rubbed his back in a soothing
matter, taking pity on the hurt boy. His face contorted as he inserted two
lubricated fingers. But this time Potter scissored his fingers, until the
pucker was loose. Impatience was not a good thing to have especially when one
had to prepare a virgin.
After a rather long time of preparing the blonde, Harry pushed the head of his
cock against Draco’s entrance. Waiting till Draco pushed back onto him, Harry…
Potter looked at the body below him – really looked. It wasn’t something one
saw everyday. The milky skin that wouldn’t tan was enough to cause Har-Potter’s
groin to twitch and throb. The scars that adorned the pale skin just added more
character to the boy. When Draco started humping his hips Potter pushed the
head of his cock into the throbbing hole; hissing at Potter’s engorged member
breeching the pucker, Draco allowed himself to relax.
Harry started to push in further, twinges of pain accompanied his movements,
but Draco didn’t protest and soon Potter was completely sheathed inside the
other boy. Adjusting to the large intrusion, Draco couldn’t decide whether or
not he liked this feeling of fullness, it was odd to experience, but he felt
unusual the only way to describe it is it was as if this was the closest he’d
feel to another person. His thoughts were, thankfully, cut short when Potter
asked him a question he didn’t exactly hear. Draco pulled himself together and
listened closer, not letting his feelings overwhelm him.
“I’m going to move” Harry warned, slowly pulling out before thrusting back in.
He continued his movements and the twinges soon just turned into a weird, odd,
and unusual feeling that was neither unpleasant nor pleasurable. When Harry hit
a ball of nerves that emitted a shockingly erotic feeling, Draco gave a groan
in pleasure. Harry kept on hitting the spot. Ecstasy. Total ecstasy.
Draco knew he wouldn’t last at this rate, but Harry didn’t seem to care as he
continued to ram into him. The callused hands didn’t seem so rough anymore as
they ran up and down his back in a soothing matter. The cock inside him pounded
and throbbed as the two fucked. Suddenly Draco came, his orgasm hitting him in
pulses as Harry continued thrusting into his constricting hole. When Potter
came Draco had never felt that way before. He felt full. Fuller then when the
cock was inside him. Complete. He didn’t understand the feeling, but he liked
it.
Standing to get a drink seemed impossible so Draco opted to fall asleep
instead, he felt arms clasping around him in a hazy, sleepy daze and then he
was deposited onto a soft cushion-like surface. The feeling of come seeping
from his abused hole put a slightly-drunken grin on his face.

The Unexpected

A boy with a lightening bolt shaped scar was rolling in the bed; his arms that
were flailing kept hitting the hung-over blonde next to him. Dry seamen itched
his stomach, but that was the least of his worries as visions invaded his
dreams. Rolling over again, green eyes opened and started to flicker around the
room, unseeing. All those eyes could see was the torture being done to a man
dressed in women’s clothes. Whimpers, groans, grumbles. Then searing pain in
the pink coloured scar started turning its surface bright red and making the
boy whimper louder as he turned over and buried his forehead into the warm body
next to him. The body below him pushed him off, but then when the boy buried
his head again into the body it allowed the weight to sit on top of it. An arm
even reached out and pressed the trembling boy into the body it was attached
to. When the pain subsided the two boys still were pressed together.
      Fletcher Found Deceased in a Local Pub Dressed in Women’s Clothing
Mundungas Fletcher is a known member of the Order of the Phoenix; he was an
active member until his death. It seems like he was undercover doing some sort
of mission when he was suddenly attacked! The bar tender claims that he wasn’t
there during the time of the crime, when in fact the bar should’ve been closed.
Who knows what awful doings this bartender is involved with! To read more on
the possible suspects turn to page 4. To read more on the awful doings of the
bartender turn to page 7. To read more on Mundungas Fletcher turn to page 6.
“Oh god!” Harry heard Draco cry from the other room; he carefully put the paper
down along with his morning cup of tea and walked into the bedroom. Only blond
hair was visible on the bed as the boy was face down on the bed. Upon walking
in and sitting on the bed, Potter placed a hand on the boy’s shoulder causing
him to hiss at the brunette. “Get away! I wasn’t in my right mind… and you took
the opportunity!” Potter could tell the other boy was beside himself in
emotion. “Just another name to scratch off the list! You can place me in your
book of virgins too, while you are at it!”
“What do you mean? I’ve fucked lots of people, what makes you so special?”
“IS THIS SUPPOSE TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER?!” Draco shrieked at the other boy,
Harry shushed him; “Don’t you shush me! You fucking fucked me! That was
supposed to be for Blake! And you know what? I hurt like a bitch because you
are awful at fucking! One would think the expert would’ve known how to do it by
now!”
“Do you not realize that that… and a few times bottoming for Fred is all the
sex I’ve ever had? I’ve only had sex about six… now seven times. I’m no expert.
The first time I had sex was awful. It hurt so badly and he was so much bigger
then me. We used shampoo bottles to prepare me because the fingers wouldn’t go
deep enough.” Potter ran a hand through his hair, “I’ve just had sex with lots
of people… because twice I’ve had threesomes… and once I had an orgy. What can
I say? I like group sex.” Looking away, Potter put his head in his hands,
“Look, I haven’t had sex with Tora because I don’t know if he has anything… I
don’t suggest having sex with Blake unless you get him tested. You’ve been the
third guy I’ve fucked, alright?”
“You know that that threesome you had with Hermione and Ron was really Blaise
and Pansy… they had a bet going in Slytherin… But that’s beside the point!”
“Jesus Christ! Malfoy, it was just a fuck! Nothing to get overly-“
“Just get out.” He motioned angrily with his hand while the other boy stood
there, unmoving. “I said to get out!” Draco screamed, his voice wavering
slightly. When Potter didn’t move Draco gathered his black pants and pulled on
his long-sleeve black shirt. “Fine, I’ll leave then. Don’t come looking for
me.” The door slammed shut after him.
When Draco got outside he pulled on his pants, but unknown to him Blake and
Tora were standing outside talking amongst themselves. Pulling out a single
cigarette from his pocket, Draco put it into his mouth and started to suck on
the end. When he heard the familiar draw of Blake, he turned around to see the
redhead infuriated.
“What the hell was all that about last night? I heard you two.” The redhead
took two steps forward, while Draco took one backwards. “Oh! Is this how it is?
Cheat and run?” The blonde wasn’t in the mood for this, so he just turned away
from them and quickly descended the stairs, but when someone grabbed his arm
Draco cried out in shock. “What the fuck is wrong with you? You’re covered in
scars like some fucking freak and now you walk away and scream when I grab your
arm. You don’t like crowds, what the fuck happened to you?” Blake roughly
shoved him against the wall in the stairway, “Did you play with your father’s
friends and get hurt? Did daddy dearest-“
“Fuck you!” Draco shouted his head down, chin against his chest; however, he
couldn’t understand what was running down his cheeks. Pushing away from his
supposed boyfriend, Draco ran down the stairs and into the street. He didn’t
hear anyone following him so he stopped at long last, while his heart beat
erratically in his burning chest.
Looking around he realized he didn’t know where he was. This area was
completely new to him. Everyone that past soon turned into Death Eaters he
knew. Panic rose as did his already thumping heart beat. He fell, his hands
planted in front of him as the world turned blurry. Feeling his nose he could
feel the familiar metal frames of his glasses, but the world was still fuzzy
around him.
He awoke to the sight of a white ceiling and the sounds of a constant beep.
“Ah, Mister…” A man wearing a blue smock took out a white clipboard and looked
at it, seeking a name, “oh… just Draco? Okay well Mister Draco your only
contact was a Mister Harry Potter so I called him and when he arrived, well, he
was in a state of shock so I left him out in the waiting area. Am I to take it
that he is your significant other? Or just a friend?”
Draco blushed, “Let’s just call him an ally.” The doctor laughed and went to
apparently retrieve the other boy. “Hey…” Draco said with his head down. A
single finger traced the pattern on the bed sheets.
“Hey… look I’m really sorry about what happened! I promise… I…” Potter placed
his hand on top of a pale one, the one that was tracing patterns. That’s when
Draco realized he didn’t have his long-sleeve shirt on and instantly his hands
went to cover his scarred arms.
“Where’s my shirt?” Draco asked feeling very conscious of his scarred body,
while looking around the room for any sign of the black cloth.
“Your scars were never documented, exactly how were they treated?”
“A family friend… I don’t like them… so I didn’t want anyone to see me in such
a state of weakness.” He stated simply, still looking around for the material
in a now panicked and frenzied way.
“They were very well taken care of; however, your heart has not been. You need
to do simple exercises every morning and you will take your pills once a day.
As for the scars, I’d like to recommend you to a therapist who is rather good
at reaching out to victims such as yourself. Were they self inflicted?” The
doctor asked, Draco looked at him and saw that he had brown hair and brown
eyes. He was rather doll looking to be honest.
“Not in that way… I’m not suicidal…” The boy stated simply, staring at the
doctor.
“I think I’ll prescribe a good anti-depressant.” Ignoring Draco did not go over
well with the blonde. He looked angered by the way the doctor was shrugging him
off.
“I’m not depressed.” Draco snipped.
“I think Prozac would be good for you to take.”
“He’s not depressed! Just a little messed up.” Potter said, coming to the
rescue once again.
“Shut the fuck up Potter! You have no right! No right at all to say such
things! To speak about me!” Draco moved over and looked at Potter’s startled
face, “After you fuck me and tell me that I wasn’t special what do you expect?
Me to welcome you with open arms? Hah! Yeah right!”
“You are special!” Potter cried out, Draco made a puff of air in comment, “I’m
not kidding! You are the first guy I’ve...” Looking away, Potter trailed off
and slowly passed his hand through his already tousled hair.
“Obviously you two are having problems…” The doctor stated, “I’ll just leave
the pair of you alone right now.”
“What are you saying? That you…” The pair was oblivious to the Doctor’s
departure. Draco struggled with himself, wanting to say that he felt something
too, wanting to say that he felt the same way, wanting to say that he wanted to
pair up. But he didn’t.
“That I want to be friends with you!” Potter cried out, his eyes closed
tightly, shielding him from the world around him.
“Well that’s too bad! We would make a horrible pair!” Draco said in a choked
voice.
“And why’s that? Because you are scared?” The other boy had realized that Draco
was struggling with himself and used it to his advantage. Draco didn’t say
anything, his eyes burrowing holes through Potter as if trying to see the
truth, to see his soul. “Scared Malfoy?”
“You wish Potter…” The other boy trailed off, not remembering the reference
that was making Potter grin slightly, “No! Stop grinning! I don’t want to be
your friend because… because we get into fights all the time! It doesn’t make
sense!”
“It makes sense! We felt something! We live together! At least a truce!”
“I never said I did feel anything!”
“Well, I did! I felt something! I felt it.” Potter exasperated, pinching the
bridge of his nose. Draco was sure he felt tired after staying up half the
night doing his paper work.
“I don’t know what I felt…” Draco mumbled, burying his head into the pillow,
muffling his voice from being heard. “Merlin, I let you fuck me.”
“While the fucking was great, I think I’ll settle on friends.” Potter stated,
his voice not wavering. Draco didn’t seem to register what exactly Potter
wanted.
“You want a friendship? With me?” Potter mhmmed, and Draco turned on his back,
putting his arm over his forehead and closing his eyes. “Are you completely
insane - I mean - sure?” A rough hand came out and clasped his own, the same
hand that had prepared him the night before, the same hand that had rubbed his
back in a soothing manner, the same hand that didn’t seem so rough anymore.
“Let me think about it, okay? The idea is making me dizzy.” The hand dropped
his, and Draco found himself missing its touch.

The Necessary

Droplets of water hit the white cloth making it change into a translucent
colour. Each drop changed the colour of the sheet into a nearly see-through
shade of grey. Grey eyes watched as the droplets clung and disappeared into the
sheet. The slight fizz of bubbles popping on the white skin of the teen was the
only sound the blonde heard besides the shower water hitting his body and
sliding down his body to flow into the rusted drain below. He was in a kind of
daze not bothering to move his hands to get rid of the suds instead he just
closed those grey eyes and tilted his head into the downpour of water.
“Malllllfoooooy!”
“Shut the fuck up, Potter!” Draco yelled from inside their shower, not moving
his head from its upturned position – effectively drowning his sound from
hearing ears.
“Maaaaaaaaaaalfoyyyyyyyyyy!”
“Go! Away!” He said, this time flicking his head down to glare at the white
cloth and running his hands over the scarred skin.
“Malfoy, Malfoy, Malfoy, Malfoy!” Knuckles turned white as they strangled two
towels from their hooks.
“Fuck you!” Draco said as he got out of the shower, a towel wrapped around his
waist and another one around his shoulders. Potter was sitting at the table
with an umbrella, while eating cereal. It was a known fact that the shower got
water everywhere so to keep the water from getting all over them they decided
to use umbrellas. “Where the hell are the eggs?”
“You make your own food. Package for you, by the way.”
“That was our deal, Potter! You make food. I eat the food. I don’t complain
about wanting the bed and you get to fuck anyone you want.” Draco hastily
snatched the package from Potter’s hands and held it against his hip.
“I am not a whore!”
“Your boyfriend is!”
“I said I wanted to be friends with you and while you are thinking I’ll
continue going out with my current boyfriend and since we are to be friends you
have to like my boyfriend. It’s not my fault Blake broke up with you.”
“It is completely your fault! You fucked me!”
“Don’t you even realize who died?!”
“Who cares? I have to go do my morning exercises, now leave me alone.”
“What if it was Snape?”
Draco stopped dead in his tracks and turned around slowly, “Don’t you dare even
joke about that.” His voice was in a deadly quiet whisper. One hand was on his
hip holding the package, while the other pointed at Harry’s face.
“The person who knew where the locket was died, Draco.”
“What’s so important about this locket, Potter?” Draco said, putting on his
long sleeve shirt and pulling on a pair of boxer-briefs under the towel. “Turn
around I need to put on my pants.” He motioned with his finger for the boy to
turn around; when Potter obeyed Draco tore off the towel quickly and pulled on
the black pants.
“How come all you wear is black? Reminds me of Snape, I don’t like it.” Potter
stated when he turned back around with an exasperated, exaggerated sigh. Draco
moved over to where Potter was sitting happily eating corn flakes in the green
lawn chair. “Look, there were no more good eggs and we don’t have any money,
alright? We just have to eat cereal until the next installment of money comes
in from McGonagall.”
Grey eyes twitched and suddenly Draco swung and a spoon was sent flying across
the room, corn flakes soaring. “Don’t you understand? There are no more
payments! We have to get jobs like fucking muggles! Did you not read the
letter? That’s why I’ve been insisting that we go out and get jobs! You can
whore yourself, but I want a normal job.”
“I never said I was going to whore myself! I never said I wanted to whore
myself.”
“Well, you never… well, you know you seem to fuck everything that you come
across!” Draco moved over to the other side of the room, the breaths he kept
taking didn’t seem to help his anger. Hands clenched and unclenched. “We are
suppose to mingle and such. We are supposed to mix and not stand out! This is a
war and you are worrying about… about relationships and friendships! There is
no time for such frivolities!” Potter snickered at the word, while Draco
continued his speech. “We need allies; we need to get everything taken care of
before we actually need to be put on the front lines. We need to figure out
those things that you are supposed to do; that’s right I know about them.
McGonagall briefed me on them because I’m supposed to help you. I’m also
supposed to start brewing potions that’ll help out for the cause and that
includes your precious werewolf’s Wolfsbane shit.” Potter looked shocked to say
the least as Draco bend over to pick up his package and proceeded to open it.
“That’s right, he hasn’t had any of his potion since Snape went into that
tower, he can’t get anything past Voldemort anymore it was a stretch for him to
come to the house or to see me.” Draco went over to a cabinet in the kitchen
and took out a cauldron and placed it on the gas stove, “I might as well start
now. But we can’t have anyone in here to screw things up!” Placing a cup under
the faucet Draco got two cups of water.
“Why did I not see that before?” Potter asked, but Draco ignored him and
instead started to pull things out from the cabinet that were simple herbs as
well as some vials that Draco had hidden away. “Hey!” Measuring a certain
amount of Dill he threw that into the cauldron and started to count the number
of stirs while crushing the eye of newt into a goop. “Hey! I asked you a
question!”
“Potter, no more installments of money will be given, all that will be are
potion ingredients that I need and books for the both of us.” Frustrated Draco
moved to the stove and threw the goop into the potion effectively spilling some
of the scalding water onto the counter.
“Well! Don’t burn the house down! You’d think that I’d be allowed to pay the
measly rent with all the money I have, but no, I can’t… it’s for the cause…”
Har-Potter sat back down at the table ignoring the water, the sprawled spoon,
and the soggy corn flakes scattered about the messy room. The boy standing at
the sink went back and forth grabbing things while stirring, cutting things
while stirring, and struggling slightly with keeping the wooden spoon steady.
Potter was pouting, like a childish cretin. Just the look on the brunette’s
face made Draco’s inner emotions laugh; the other boy looked like a petulant
preteen.
A head was lolling around upside-down in sleep. Tangled, unmanageable, black
hair stood on end. “Potter!” The head, startled, looked up quickly to meet
stern, grey eyes. “I’m done my potion, it has to simmer for a day so I suggest
getting your ass together so we can go out.”
“Fuck that.” Potter’s head fell back to its place of lying off the side of the
sofa. His legs were thrown over the top, the knees against the top of the seat.
“You can go get a job, I want to be a rock star so I can’t work until I get a
set of drums.”
Draco’s mouth fell open as his face turned red with anger, “Potter, to get a
drum set you need to fucking work.” Green eyes lit up mischievously.
“Or you can get a job and pay for them.”
An explosion doesn’t begin to describe Draco’s anger, “You are so fucking
stupid Mister Harry Potter. I will not be the only bread baker-“
“Maker, I’m the baker.” Potter interrupted.
“Whatever.” Draco exasperated, “Just shut up. We both have to get jobs and we
both have to pay rent and we both have to get over ourselves and do what has to
be done and we both have to put these petty relationships aside so we can
actually get some things done.” Draco took in a deep breath.
“Well, okay. If it’ll get me out of this house.” Leaning forward, Potter did a
back flip to get off the sofa. Draco didn’t say anything, just pursed his lips
into a thin line. “Where are we off to?”
 
“Potter!” Draco whined for seemingly the thousandth time, “Potter… how much are
those aluminum box things?” The brunette grit his teeth in frustration, the
blonde was grating on his nerves. “I really want to buy an aluminum box on
wheels so I don’t have to walk.” Their pace slowed yet again, as Draco
dramatically started panting and fanning himself with his hands, “Can we rest
for a little bit? I’m feeling awfully faint.”
“Again. You are feeling faint again. I can still see our apartment building.”
Potter grit out, arms clenched in frustration as the bystanders took in the
scene with much amusement. They finally turned the corner when Draco fell
against the wall, his face was red. “You have got to be kidding me!” Potter
groaned as he ran a hand through his hair.
“My heart is fragile.”
Potter turned around and stalked away, until something shiny and leaned up
against the wall caught his attention. A bicycle was just sitting there, not
hooked to the tree, just sitting there. Taking one look around, Potter looked
into the shop to see a lady with a helmet in her hands talking to another lady.
Another woman came into view and she and the lady with the helmet exchanged
kisses on the cheek before resuming their talk.
Taking the bicycle from it’s place, Potter walked with it until he reached the
place where Draco was leaning against the wall for needless support. “What’s
this? A miniature aluminum box?”
Potter appeared taken back, “Do you honestly not know what a car or a bike
are?” Looking slightly at a loss, Draco blushed slightly. “That’s fucking
crazy.”
“Don’t say fuck.” Draco interrupted, before saying, “well, it’s not like we
have much of a use for such things. The manor has carriages carried by the
fastest threstals and the crowned-gold horses.”
“Can you see threstals?” The ground seemed to interest Draco quite a lot by the
way he started to stare at it. “I can, obviously… after what…” Potter trailed
off, his voice wavering ever so slightly as memories played on his eyelids, as
if they were an auditorium.
“Yes… I can.” Draco replied courtly, his eyes met green ones that were asking
him to explain himself, and Draco obliged. “My father trained me to become a
death eater, but what he didn’t realize was that I’m a pansy. I pass out from
the slight of blood, the mere thought of pain makes me want to die, and I’m not
motivated by anything then my own survival.” Torn, Draco took in a deep breath,
“So, he decided that I’d have to endure massive training. He took me outside
and… showed me a thing or two by killing five of our servants in progressing
creative ways.”
The woman with the bicycle came outside; Draco was then pulled to sit on the
handlebars of the bike. “Hold on.” Potter took off on the bicycle, not even
wavering a bit as he rode. Blond hair shimmered in the wind as Potter pedaled
behind him. “We need to cut your hair, when we get back I’ll cut it for you.”
Draco didn’t say anything about how he was learning that Potter had lots of
talents – or so it seemed. Instead he asked, “Potter, where did you get this
bike?” When the other boy didn’t answer, Draco turned his head and peered over
his shoulder at Potter’s bobbing head. Sweat collected on his forehead into
little beads that caressed the flesh, some of them encountered his scar and
would follow the pink skin. Air wove its way through Potter’s hair, picking up
the tresses erratically. Draco repeated his question, “Hey Potter! Where did
you get this bike?”
“I stole it from a lady.”
Draco just about fainted, but then he started laughing. “Nice try, where’d you
fin it in the trash? I don’t want to ride trash.” Potter didn’t argue with him,
but kept on going even as Draco loudly protested that he wanted to be put down
or that he was going to jump off. He never did jump off.
As they came to a stop Draco looked around to see many little shops with people
scurrying in and out of them. The sheer amount of people made Draco stiff and
slightly numb, but he did nothing. Potter grinned slightly and walked ahead,
leading the bike along the way, while Draco trailed behind. They entered every
store that had a help wanted sign on their windows and after filling out many
applications they started to enter stores that didn’t have help wanted signs in
their windows. While Potter went into a grungy tattoo parlor, Draco stepped
into a music shop. Potter’s earlier comment of wanting to be a rock star
entered Draco’s mind as he sat down at the grand piano.
Those slender fingers seemed to fit perfectly in the keys and after a minute of
hesitation – and whipping his head around to see if anyone was near – Draco
started to play. He had been playing since he was little, it was a refined
thing to do and thus Malfoys had to teach their sons and daughters to play the
piano. When Draco was little he would protest the day before his birthday,
since he always had to play in front of all his friends.

“But mother,” a small, frail-looking, blond-headed boy cried indignantly, “why
do I always have to play for them? The kids at school call me names because I
have to play this stupid piano every birthday party!” The six-year-old boy
crossed his arms over his chest and took on a pout, “what did I do to Father to
make him make me do this?” Blond hair fell into teary, grey eyes, “Please!
Please! Talk to Father Lucius!”
“Why don’t you tell him how you feel, Draco?” Narcissa asked, but those same
grey eyes of the child before her grew darker at that question. The signs had
been there, but she had either chosen to ignore them or she simply couldn’t see
them.
“No.” Draco said and then he turned away from his mother and ran up the stairs
to his room. She watched him as he went, Draco could feel those concerned eyes
following him until he was out of her sight.
Fingers danced across the keyboard of the piano, soft music fluttering in the
air in a dainty song. Manicured nails shined in the artificial light. A man
stood in the back watching as the blond-haired teenager played with his eyes
trained on the keys, watching as his finger slid with ease over the black and
white keys. Grey eyes closed for a moment before opening again with a
completely different expression. A calm one. Sedated. The normally rigid body
relaxed as he let the music flow.
Abruptly the song was cut short, grey eyes flew to the opening door, emitting
ting several times as the bells on the door banged together. Potter stood
there, sweating, with the bike in his hands. He was grinning like a loon as he
looked around the store. “I guess you took my wanting to be a rock star to
heart.”
Draco rolled his eyes, “Oh shut up, Potter.” He drawled in a bored tone before
spinning around in the seat to stand up. As they left the shop grey eyes
lingered on the piano with an expression of want.
They trudged back to their apartment, Potter weaved the bicycle back and forth,
slowly as Draco walked along beside it. Then suddenly Potter stopped the bike
and looked at Draco. “Get on.” Blond hair flew about the pale face as Draco
shook his head. “Get on.” Potter paused for a dramatic effect, “you know you
want to.” He was grinning again, “You scared?” Taking a hesitant step forward,
Draco bit his lip as Harry urged him to get on by motioning with one finger.
When Draco reached the bicycle Harry stood up, turned around, and held the bike
still with his legs before wrapping his fingers around Draco’s small waist.
“Put your feet on the things in the middle of the back wheel.” Harry said as he
hovered Draco overtop of the back of the bike. They were face to face, Draco
could feel Harry’s breath on his neck and, after a second of thinking that he
wish they could stay this way, Draco placed his feet onto the metal. Harry
turned around slowly, letting Draco move his hands on his shoulders to keep his
balance. “Hold on.”
Potter sat down and took off. Swerving all over the road, Draco was sure he was
going to fall off. Grey eyes closed and a yelp left his throat before realizing
how scared he really was. The bicycle went airborne as Harry went up a bump and
popped the wheel up with relative ease. Harry – wait when did he become Harry?
– leaned to the left and brought the bike at an angle making Draco’s eyes bulge
and his body press further against Harry’s spine. Scarred, black-clothed arms
wrapped around Harry’s shoulders as they rode on the road, taking off next to
cars and swerving unnecessarily.
When they got home Draco went immediately to the bedroom, placing the few bags
of groceries on the table was he went. Potter brought the bike and leaned it
against a wall, stood back, and went to go sit of the sofa, in the same fashion
he had been before, with him feet up and his head upside-down. Draco stood in
the doorway of their bedroom, “Oh yeah, Potter.” The other boy faced the
blonde, “I’ll gladly take you to be my neutral aquatint.” The corners of his
mouth turned up, giving Harry a scarce, small smile before disappearing beyond
the door frame.

Broken Window
The Snake

Draco looked up from his position on the couch; he dreamt such a wonderful
reverie that he didn’t want to wake up. It took his a second to realize what
had it’s clutches around his head, preventing him from talking. A hand. A
slender, boney hand.
Voldemort’s hand.
A muffled scream died against the silence-spelled walls. But when grey eyes met
black ones did Draco calm down slightly. Eyes adjusting to the dark, Draco saw
that it was not Voldemort, but Snape. Breath lapsed into a calm pattern instead
of the erratic one.
“I’m here for one purpose.” Snape had a bound book in his hand, but when Draco
reached for it Snape snatched it from his hands a glare on his face. “Bring
mister Potter to me.” Questions rose in Draco’s mind, but he didn’t question
his Godfather and instead went to the bedroom where Potter was drooling on the
stained green comforter.
When Potter was up, he padded into the living room where Snape was seated at
the table with one missing leg. Years of hatred burned in their eyes as they
nodded at one another in an attempted truce. “Sir, I’d like to know the reason
you decided to barge into my home.”
“Insolence Potter!” Snape bellowed his shouts dying on the walls and only
causing Draco to flinch. “Draco, leave.” But he didn’t move. Potter pulled out
a chair and sat in it and invited Draco to sit down next to him. “Draco, this
is a matter between Potter and I about the war, it would be in your best
interest to get out.”
“But he is my partner, Sir.”
Snape’s mouth opened, “Partner, eh? What type of sexual conduct is this! This
isn’t a vacation from school, it is a war!”
“Not that kind of partner, Snape!”
“What other kind of partner is there, Potter?”
“Fuck, you are so dumb!”
“Fifty Points-“
“I’m not a Gryffindor and you aren’t a teacher!”
Momentarily shocked, Snape realized they were both standing up in their seats,
while Draco looked on with an unguarded terrified expression. It was Snape’s
knowledge that Draco had witnessed many screaming fights at his house between
parents and that they would more often then not end with either his mother
sprawled across the floor, bleeding profusely, or with Draco up against a wall,
getting hit.
A boney, pale hand descended onto Draco’s shoulder and gave it a comforting
squeeze as Snape spoke up, his voice back to its business-tone. “Potter, I’m
not here to fight with you,” the blonde boy released a breath; “I’m here to
tell you about your Godfather.”
A breath of air wheezed out of Potter and soon he was left standing there,
looking down at a leather bound book that Snape was trying to hand him. “What’s
this all about?”
Opening up the book, Potter saw a photo of a young boy with a charming smile
and lit-up blue eyes; he was next to a young girl who’s smile was somewhat of a
smirk. The boy who was to the left of the blue-eyed boy, looked creepy. His
smile was haunted. Hollow eyes stared into the camera.
“The Black family was one that was closely allied with the LeStrange’s. Both
were valued Pure-Bloods.” Snape let out a pained gasp as his right hand seeked
his left forearm and grasped it tightly. “But when Regulus came to Hogwarts he
was somewhat estranged from the family. To gain back the ground he lost he
joined the cause – something he did not believe in. When I entered school
Sirius Black was in my year. Before not many, if any, halfbloods had been
sorted into Slytherin. Black was a pureblood and didn’t get sorted in while I
was a halfblood and did.” Snape seemed to struggle before turning the page.
A picture of an eleven-year-old Sirius Black and an eleven-year-old Severus
Snape came up, Black was grinning his trademark grin, while Severus had his
patented smirk. “We were told to become friends and did during our first year.”
The elder-potions-master fumbled, his fingers shaking as it grabbed hold of the
page. Upon turning it Draco gasped as did Potter.
Severus Snape was sitting in the corner of a dingy room; the moving picture had
tears rolling down his cheeks and chin. Hands were held up in a defensive way,
and blood was running down from the corners of his mouth. Then Picture ends
looked bent and worn as if someone had unsuccessfully tried to rip the picture
out.
“Then I did something awful… Sirius Black was to be married to Narcissa Black,
but Sirius didn’t want to be tied down; however, I didn’t know that he was
harboring some secret feelings towards the girl.” Severus placed a hand on his
chin, years of regret and bitterness shone in those black eyes. “Lucius wanted
a pureblood wife with blond hair; the only one I knew of was Narcissa Black.”
His eyes went down to the hands he was fumbling with, “So I split up Narcissa
and Sirius by telling one person that Sirius was gay. The news traveled so fast
that when it reached Black and Potter that day everyone knew.
“But Black wasn’t gay, or at least not that I knew of.” The pain in his forearm
burst through, making his face grimace in pain. “They destroyed me.”
“But you loved Mother.” Draco said, interrupting Snape’s thoughts.
“I knew that if Narcissa was to be betrothed to Sirius he wouldn’t share. He
would love her and truly I should’ve let her have a loving relationship, but
I’m selfish.” Draco stared at him, “I wanted to be able to have a relationship
with Narcissa and with Sirius I couldn’t, but due to my loyalty to Lucius I was
allowed to carry on my feelings. Even though I knew that Sirius would grow to
love Narcissa, I didn’t allow that to happen.”
“You mean I could’ve been brought into a loving family!” Draco yelled, his eyes
wild.
“Or you could’ve been brought into a colder family. Narcissa brought a torch
with her to the Malfoy’s.”
“That’s not the point!”
“Shut up Draco! This isn’t about what could’ve been!” His temper was shorter
then it had been just a couple months ago. “If I were to do it over I’d do
everything the same because I’m a selfish, bitter, old bastard!” What he had
been going through was wearing down on him. “This is about Potter finding that
locket.”
“How does everyone know about the locket? Dumbledore told me he wanted only a
few people to know.”
“Albus was a cheating, old loon. We were all pawns, and you were the most
valuable piece of the chess board, the deadliest weapon.”
“The queen.” Draco said, his face completely neutral.
“Shut up, you take it up the arse, too.” Potter retaliated. Draco opened his
mouth to retort.
“The queen is the most valuable piece in chess and-”
“Both of you shut your mouths. Not one more word.” Snape’s voice was deadly
quiet; his eyes had a mad look in them. “Sirius and I had talked about his
brother while we were friends. Now this will shock you.” Greasy hair fell into
an equally greasy face. “Your werewolf friend is pretty much bisexual because
few people will be his partner due to the nature of his disease.”
Potter seemed to protest saying that Lupin was not an attention leech, but
Snape interrupted him, “He isn’t an attention leech, it’s just that people want
companionship, while dogs crave pacts. And he’s part human, part dog.” Severus
looked to the left, “Regulus and Lupin had a thing for many years. And Lupin
was given a locket the last time he saw Regulus. And ever since then he’s
wanted him to come back, but we all know that the first born Black son is
dead.”
Standing up, Severus looked around and gripped his arm tighter. Draco realized
that Snape’s arm was bleeding profusely. “I have a feeling Lupin recognized the
locket at the Black household and has since then removed it from the house.
Look at his neck closely next time you see him.” Draco stood up; Severus placed
his right hand on Draco’s shoulder and squeezed it again. “I must take my
leave. I’ll be back, Draco, don’t worry about me. Feel free to keep my photo
album. I have no want to keep those memories with me.”

Broken Window
The Unbearable Heat

Hot didn’t even begin to describe the temperature of the day. Draco was reduced
to laying on the green comforter, his legs sprawled and his arms wide open. The
open window didn’t bring a breeze into the room like Draco was hoping it’d do.
All the blond could do was lie there on that awful-smelling, stained comforter
because if he so much as moved the sticky heat made him want to kill himself
faster.
His arm pits, which he usually prided in never being sweaty, were drenched, the
wet fabric sticking to his body and making the heat stay. He had long before
shucked off his pants and pulled up the long sleeves, but his boxer briefs
stuck to his body like a second skin. Salty droplets slid down a milk-coloured
torso, and rained from a chin only to slither down a slightly-scarred neck. The
black shirt grasped onto a drenched back and wouldn’t let go.
The weather had been bipolar over the last two weeks, after – what could only
be described as a monsoon – came the unbearable heat followed, making the un-
air-conditioned rooms unbearable to be in. Tora had long before cancelled all
clients saying that he was too sick to perform under these conditions. Blake
hadn’t left his apartment dressed in extravagant and down-right-odd women’s
clothes in nearly a week. Even the hermit missed his bi-monthly trip to the
super market to stock up on canned goods. Only one person seemed completely
unaffected by the shift in the temperature. Harry Potter. He was cooking like
he always was; he was dressing like he always did; he was masturbating like he
always had. The white shirt he wore clung to his skin, but he didn’t seem to
mind, when Draco was caught staring at him with pained-hatred he merely
replayed that he was use to this due to his home life. The only moment of
weakness in his life was due to how long he spent in the cold shower. Draco
felt like he could live in that cold shower, but had instead taken residence on
the bed in a sprawled position. If a thief had come in Draco wouldn’t have even
reacted.
Finally with a burst of courage Tora came into the room, his normally styled
blue hair hung limply at the sides, wet with sweat. “Do you want to go to the
beach Harry? It’s like hot as balls out here and I’m fucking dying.” The
brunette paused at his work to turn around, behind him a skillet sizzled.
“Only if Draco can go.” Was Potter’s childish response. Draco’s mind screamed
at Potter that he didn’t want to go, but then the idea of bathing in cool water
was too tempting – that and the fact that he couldn’t open his mouth to reply
without making a massive heat wave overcome his body threatening his own
suicide.
Tora seemed to hesitate slightly; his lip was gnawed on by his pointed teeth.
“But Blake invited me and told me to invite you.”
“And tell him I invited Draco so we’ll be ready to go at twelve; if Draco’s not
going then I’m not.” Potter was using his real name, Draco realized. It seemed
odd coming from his mouth without a less then poisonous tone. He kind of liked
the way it rolled off that tongue, and he wondered if he should be thinking
about how he wanted Potter to scream his name out in pleasure or how he
wondered what it would sound like if Potter were to growl out his name.
When Tora came back into the room he gave Potter a shy smile and nodded before
taking Potter’s hands into his own and leading him out of the room. Pulling on
his long black pants, Draco realized how much colder the water would be then
here, and when he thought about it his mouth started to salivate as if he was a
starved man seeing a steak.
The ride was in Blake’s aluminum-box on wheels that had no room for anyone to
sit. It was a tiny aluminum-box that made awful racket as it sped down the
highway; Blake seemed to go faster then he should just so he wouldn’t have to
hear the awful noisy the car was making. Or perhaps it was so he wouldn’t have
to sit there awkwardly next to Draco as Potter and Tora groped each other in
the back seat. Another aluminum-box passed us and children started to point at
the couple in the back, finally Blake had enough.
“For Christ’s sake you’d think we were shooting a fucking porno movie, settle
down.” Blake shouted, the air from the road didn’t do anything to take away the
heat. Tora flicked Blake off as Potter blushed and slightly composed himself,
despite Tora still licking his ear vigorously. When Blake veered left, the
tires spun and made a screeching noise. Draco swung in his seat and was unable
to grab the door to pull himself to the other side, therefore he collided into
Blake’s side. The transvestite didn’t seem to care and instead put a steady
hand around Draco’s shoulders as they took another sharp turn, but this time to
the right. Feeling slightly bold, Draco placed his head against Blake’s chest
ever so lightly; it had been a couple weeks since the two of them had broken up
due to Draco’s drunken dallying.
When they arrived at the beach, Draco’s thigh was warmer due to Blake’s hand
placed on the clothed flesh, but he didn’t seem to mind the added heat. It was
around four and most of the people were either cleared out or leaving to go
back to their homes in there own aluminum-boxes. They walked to a scarcely
populated part of the beach and Tora, without so much as a glance around,
shucked off his pants and pulled off his sweaty shirt, while Blake – who
decided to wear a skirt that he owned due to the heat – had more class and
looked around before pulling off his skirt where nothing laid beneath. Potter
took in the blue water against the sand as Blake and Tora raced off into the
cold water, but Draco for the first time was having second thoughts.
Draco was left looking down at his pants and for not the first time – nor the
last – was left cursing Lucius. Pulling off his black-trousers meant showing
Tora, who was unaware of his scarred skin, his flesh. A shirt that was clinging
to Potter’s back was peeled off the tanned skin, revealing an all-to-familiar
toned chest. Grey eyes were drawn into that chest as hands rubbed some kind of
lotion-type substance onto the pectorals and nipples Draco wanted to lick.
“Are you going to take off your clothes?” Snapping out of his trance, Draco was
brought back to his current dilemma. Potter was staring at him; his face was a
bit pink after catching Draco staring at him. For a second Draco was sure that
Potter had heard his thoughts and was left with a pink face of his own. “Here
I’ll help you put cream on your back, I’m sure that you are worried about
sunburn.” Draco looked at him with a blank expression, “I mean you are so pale
you must get sunburn easily.” Still Draco’s face was blank, “Okay! Maybe I’m
wrong.”
“No… you’re right...” Looking to the water Draco saw Tora splashing water at
Blake and then waving Potter over. “I just decided that I wanted to wait a
bit.” Tora was now looking directly at Draco, staring at him and motioning with
his hands as he talked.
“Draco!” Grey eyes looked up to see his mother’s warm face. She had on a
lavender bikini with a flowing, translucent-white robe on. Her large beach hat
was secured to her head with a translucent-white ribbon. “I’m going to get
you!” Little feet scurried along the beach, pale skin tinting pink under the
sun as Narcissa chased a young Draco around the beach with a bucket of water.
“I’m going to catch you!” She came closer to the giggling boy as chubby legs
moved to avoid the salty seawater within the green, plastic bucket. Suddenly a
shower of chilly water fell onto the little boy making him laugh harder as his
mother’s hands dropped the pail to scoop up the little boy within her arms. She
raised him up to her face to kiss his forehead.
“Oh!” Har-Potter realized. “You see… I’m sure no one will mind! I mean… they
add character to your body.” Subconsciously arms wound themselves around the
body they were attached to. “Take off your shirt at least, you must be hot.”
Looking one last time at the water, Draco watched as Blake spun Tora around so
that he was facing away from Draco and gave him a slight nod. Tugging at the
long sleeves a sudden burst of courage overcame the blonde, making him pull off
his black shirt.
Memories overcame Potter, bodies rubbing together, the taste of the scarred
flesh, the sobs. He shook his head to rid himself of the images. When he placed
a hand on the other boys back, the slick friction of the suntan lotion reminded
Potter of the feeling of the tight channel as he entered him for the second
time. Draco rubbed the lotion on his chest and arms as Potter slowly applied it
to his back, not missing a spot. Those fingers. Grey eyes closed.
As Draco walked up to the shore, he still had his pants on. “Draco, why don’t
you take those off?” Draco looked into Blake’s eyes and saw that he was
generally concerned.
“I’m good,” the blonde replied, “I’ll just get in now.” He pulled up his pants
and rolled them up to his knees, but soon realized that it wasn’t going to
work. Eyes looked around wildly before inclining his head and taking off the
pants. Feet ran into the water, wanting to cover the scarred flesh with
something. Tora broke from Blake’s hold and turned around letting out a muffled
gasp before getting dunked by the other boy. Self-conscious didn’t even
describe the feeling he was having. “Hey…”
“Fucking Christ!” Tora exclaimed, as eloquent as ever, “What the hell happened
to you?”
“Jesus, Tora!” Blake exclaimed as Draco sank into the water up to his
shoulder’s, a red flush had crept up his neck and found it’s way onto the
blonde’s face. “Can’t you tell he’s self conscious about that? And then you go
and just point it out.”
“Well, what the fuck should I say? Oh, that’s some nice scarring, how’d that
happen?”
“I jumped out a window and ran away from home in stalkers that’s what happened,
okay?” Draco watched as emotions ran over Tora’s face and finally he settled on
expressing one fully. By laughing. Draco was furious, but embarrassed as well.
How dare Tora laugh at his turmoil. How dare Tora ask him such personal
answers. Yet he was embarrassed because it did seem elementary.
“Last time I ran away it was eleven years ago when I was four.” Draco did the
math and calculated that Tora was only fifteen.
“Then why are you in a house all by yourself, at fifteen no less? Why are you
fucking people to get by?” One extended index finger pointed at Tora, “Why the
hell are you judging my escape from a house that was so constricted I couldn’t
breathe? Why are you judging me when I’m way better off then you are?” The
finger poked Tora in his bare chest.
Blake’s eyes went wide and he started to motion to Draco to stop, but Har-
Potter’s eyes were alit with curiosity – the ever eager Gryffindor. Tora stood
up, towering over Draco and slowly said, “I was a mistake my parents made at
thirty-two. And then when I was barely able to walk my parents ran away and
left me in the house with my older sister.” Grey eyes went wide, “Then she went
and got hooked on acid and keeled over from an overdose. She left me in our
apartment with a schedule of people she fucked for money.” Tora took a step
forward, intimidating Draco to take two steps back. “Then when I started to
take on the family business – my mother was a hooker too – some guys left, but
most stayed because I was a cheap fuck with an eager ass. My parents escaped
from Vietnam during the war at thirteen and when they got here they didn’t have
anything but their bodies.” Blake put a comforting hand on Tora’s shoulder, “So
they did what they could, and now look at us. We are as good as extinct with my
infertile sperm and HIV.”
***** The Breaking Point *****
I'm putting up the rest of the chapters I found on my old computer and
hopefully will be able to continue this. Sorry for the wait.

Broken Window
The Breaking Point

A gentle smile accompanied a warm, kind face as Har-Potter stepped into the
room. Draco went and sat as far away from the pair as he could, a slight scowl
was etched onto his face. Remus Lupin stood up from his seat and took Potter
into his arms; Draco tried to look nonchalant as Harry started to cry softly
into Lupin’s weathered, ratty, patched outer robes. The face hid from view,
pressing deeper into the grey fabric. A hand found its way on the small of
Harry’s back, rubbing it in a soothing motion.
Draco wished he could be where Lupin was.
Once Harry stopped crying he sat down across from Lupin. Draco remained where
he was, his legs were apart and he was slouched down in an uncaring manner.
Lupin looked back and forth between the two boys unbelieving that Potter had
allowed himself to breakdown in front of Draco and that Draco hadn’t rubbed it
in Potter’s face; what Lupin saw was an agreement between the two boys, one
that was mutual. He stood. Then knelt in front of Draco, where bored grey eyes
looked at him, but what Lupin saw was pure concern for the other boy.
“I see you two are getting along.” He commented, Draco rolled his eyes and
snorted, looking away from the werewolf. Then something dawned on Draco that
made him rummage around inside his black jacket, until he pulled out a vial and
slipped it into Lupin’s front pocket.
“I guess you can call it that.” The pair of them looked at Har-Potter who had a
charming half-grin on his face. Draco looked away when green eyes met his own.
“Some of us want more then others.” Grey eyes glared at Potter.
“We do not speak of that night, Potter.”
“You felt it.”
“Shut your mouth, before I force feed you Styrofoam and push you down an
elevator shaft.” For half a second the two Gryffindors stared at Draco with
wide-eyes before laughing hysterically. “Glad you find my threats amusing.”
Draco snipped, his nose turned up into the air.
Lupin stood and patted Draco on the shoulder before going back over to where
Potter was sitting, still grinning like a loon. “So what did you call me here
for, Harry?” For a while, Potter seemed to struggle with the words.
“You and Tonks are together, right?”
“Yes, Nymphadora and I are officially an item, why?” Lupin looked taken back by
the inquiry on his love life. It was not something he was use to. Or something
he wanted to get use to.
“Well, Snape-“
“Professor Snape”
“SNAPE” Potter emphasized, “said that you had a relationship with Regalus,
Sirius’s brother and that you might have something I need.” A dirty sneaker
started to tap the floor impatiently as Lupin took his time to answer, “Does
that make you bisexual, Lupin?”
“Oh! Harry! I didn’t want to keep things from you-“
“But you did!” Potter exploded – he was very volatile those days – as he stood
up on those grimy sneakers. “Everyone does! And I’m sick of it! I’m sick of
it!” Potter went over to the wall and punched it hard, the stone didn’t even
move, but an audible crack echoed in the room as blood poured from the broken
hand. “How the hell do you expect me to win this war?! How does anyone expect
me to win this war with so many secrets?!” He was screeching at the man, pacing
back and forth. “I’m a weapon. The only weapon we have against Voldemort-“
Draco flinched, “because I’m the only one to survive a killing curse! Well, you
know what? It’s not likely for me to survive again. And I know I’m not going
to.” Potter halted his face away from the other two occupants in the room,
Lupin started to stand as Harry staggered forward, his head hitting the stone.
The boy looked exhausted, “I’ve been up… thinking and thinking about how this
is going to work. But I don’t see any way it is going to. All I see is me dying
and Voldemort taking over the world. And even if I’m the one standing at the
end… what am I going to do for all the people that lost their lives because of
me?” Potter collapsed to his knees, his forehead scraping along the stone.
“It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault.”
“None of this is your fault.” Lupin said his voice soft.
“But it is all my fault. I killed Cedric. I killed Sirius. I killed
Dumbledore.” There was something in his voice that scared Draco, it sounded
completely defeated. It was something Draco didn’t want to hear. It was
something Draco was frightened – even terrified – to hear.
“You did no such thing. You didn’t cast Avada Kadvra on Cedric; you didn’t trip
Sirius; you didn’t poison Albus or cast the killing curse on him. You are not
at fault.” Lupin knelt behind Harry, and Draco suddenly felt uncomfortable. It
was as if he was imposing on a very close and personal moment between the two
of them; Draco felt like he should leave. “Don’t you dare blame yourself. Don’t
you dare. Nothing is your fault.” Lupin leaned forward and wrapped his arms
around the boy, “Voldemort is the only one at fault. It’s Voldemort who is
making this happen. And you will stop him.”
The werewolf took in a deep breath, “My relationship with Regalus was more then
just physical. I fell deeply in love with him and he was one of the very few
that were willing to have a relationship with a werewolf.” His arms tightened
around Harry, but the two of them didn’t move, “Homosexuality was not a crime
at the time, but it was not looked upon as something great either. And to top
it off I was a werewolf. Times still haven’t changed much, but people are more
willing to take a werewolf lover now that the disease can not be spread through
intercourse if proper measures are taken.” Looking down at the floor, Lupin
struggled. “The first time we had intercourse he was still officially with the
Dark Lord, but he said he was leaving.”
Lupin scratched his head before falling back onto his butt to sit behind
Potter, “We carried on our relationship well into four years when suddenly he
disappeared. He showed himself to me seven years later, when I had finally
allowed myself to cope with the fact that he was gone, and told me that he
loved me, but couldn’t stop what he was doing. Regalus told me that we… would
meet once the war was over, once Voldemort was dead and he handed me a locket
and a ring.” Lupin took out a silver chain that had a ring hanging off of it
and fondly held the plain silver in his hand. It was something that truly was
Remus Lupin. It was plain, yet slightly chipped, but beautiful. “The locket I
left in Grimold Place one day and then lost it, until Molly told me you guys
had found it while cleaning.” He went over to his trunk and pulled it out, a
sad smile lingered on those lips.
“It’s really all I have left of him. He told me that once the war ended the
ring would portkey me to where he was, if he was still alive. I have to hope
that I am too.” Harry took the locket into his hand, “I use to wear it, but
then it started to turn my neck black so I took it off.” Harry’s scar started
to tingle.
“This is defiantly it.” Harry murmured as he stood up, turning around and
walking over to where Draco was sitting. “We have to destroy it.” Lupin looked
put out, and started to protest, but Potter turned to where Lupin was seated
and said “We have to Remus. You don’t understand what’s inside this locket. Why
it won’t open. It’s holding part of Voldemort’s soul. If I were to wear it I
wouldn’t turn black because of my scar, but you weren’t marked as Voldemort’s
equal. So you… you aren’t… you’d die if you wore this. Like what the ring did
to Dumbledore’s hand.”
Potter put the locket onto the seat, “How do you destroy it?” Draco asked, his
eyes alit with unshielded curiosity. A hand reached out and tipped the chair,
horror filled in Lupin’s eyes as the locket fell to the floor only to have the
chair lifted up. The leg was placed overtop the locket, and it rested there for
a second before Potter jumped up and landed onto the chair, effectively
crushing the metal. Black smoke poured from the crushed metal and the same ink-
like black liquid poured out from the broken locket. Lupin looked pale, as if
he was about to faint.
“That’s it.” Potter said, walking to the doorway where he turned around and
gave Lupin a hesitant, forced grin, “Thanks for the help, sorry for the mess.”
Draco stood and walked over to where Potter was still lingering in the
doorframe, “I’ll see you soon Remus.” Harry turned around, but still paused,
“I’m sure he’s okay. Don’t worry about him right now, Remus, okay? Worry about
yourself and take Draco’s potion.”
 
Chapped lips crashed with pink ones. Rough hands rapt to the shoulders of a
shorter boy, they gripped painfully hard at the flesh, crushing the soft
cotton. Pale arms hung limply at the sides of the body they were attached to. A
tongue slithered its way into the mouth, coercing it to open to allow the
intrusion. They banged into a table, pain seared through the smaller boy as his
back was thrown into the corner. He was thrown onto the table and the mouth was
replaced by something different. It was a hard nub. It tasted unpleasant and
slightly salty. Grey eyes bulged out as a square of untrimmed, black, pubic
hair smashed its way into view. Scarred hands push the body away.
Potter is now sprawled across the floor; his jeans are around his knees. There
is an odd look in his eye. Then Draco saw it. A needle was lying next to him on
the table. White residue was on the table and inside the syringe.
“Potter, what the hell are you playing at?” Draco screamed, his eyes were a
blaze, anger surged in his veins as the boy across from him sat there ignoring
him. “I have a right to an answer! You are nothing more then a sick son of a
bitch and here you are! Having to save the world, but what do you care more
about? Sex and drugs. Drugs! What kind of Gryfindor do you claim to be?”
“I’m a messed up one!” Those green eyes had a crazed look in them; rough hands
banged the table in front of them before Potter stood up and ran those same
hands through black hair. “I can’t believe I did it…” Potter proceeded to chant
this, while pacing back and forth behind the couch.
“What is in your head?!” Draco shouted, his eyes were watching Potter’s
movements closely.
“You’re in my head all the time. I wish I could stop thinking about you.”
Draco’s eyes widened and a pink tone dispersed itself onto the pale cheeks. “I
can’t believe I did it… I can’t believe I did it…”
“Where did you get that stuff from?” The voice shook with furry and concern,
Potter was stuck repeating the same words over and over as if he was chanting
it. “Was it Tora?” Potter didn’t react, just proceeded to walk in circles, “was
it Blake?” Potter’s movements stopped, “I’ll fucking-“
But Draco didn’t continue his statement as Potter suddenly fell to the ground,
convulsing. Black hair swung around wildly as a head swung from side to side.
Arms twitched, hitting the floor. Legs banged against the floor as feet
flailed. When it all stopped the body was perfectly still, Potter looked
directly at Draco with unseeing eyes, and Draco freaked out. “Who cares
anymore?” Potter asked him his voice was hollow, “Who cares? I don’t.” His head
fell back and hit hard against the floor with an audible thud. “Everyone says
that Harry Potter is their last hope, but you know what? I’m just going to die,
so why should I even bother.”
This side of Harry Potter was someone that terrified Draco, was someone Draco
didn’t want to meet, was someone Draco hoped he wouldn’t see again. “I might as
well have fun while it lasts, because it won’t be much longer with what I’ve
seen in my visions.”
Draco didn’t want to talk about this anymore.
“And Tora has AIDs that he got from someone.” Potter was bellowing, but didn’t
seem aware of it, “So I can’t fuck him. So what does that lave me?”
“Sexually frustrated.” Draco answered, his eyes were not leaving the man in
front of him, “and very, very screwed up.” When Potter’s eyes rolled into the
back of his head Draco ran to Blake’s apartment, but Draco kept glancing back
at Potter’s limp body. Draco banged on the door with his fists, while Tora
emerged from his room with a tattered robe on and a cigarette in his mouth.
Then after what seemed – to Draco – like a lifetime Blake opened the door. Red
hair was plastered to his head like a helmet, while eyeliner was only half
taken off.
“What the hell Draco? You’d think you were dying or something, I was just
taking off my make-up give me a second.” Blake turned to go back into his flat,
but Draco grabbed his waist and pulled the taller man out. “What’s your prob-“
“What did you give Potter?” Draco screamed with fire alive in his eyes.
“What?”
“What the fuck did you feed Harry?!” Draco cried out, frantic.
“I gave him something to calm his nerves.” Blake snipped, his chin was stuck up
in the air making him look like a pompous arse in Draco’s mind.
“You make this right!” Draco used all his strength to pull Blake into the
green-coloured apartment. When Blake’s eyes went to the passed out teenager, he
felt to his knees and felt for a pulse, turning Harry’s head onto its side
making vomit leak out of the open mouth. A large, smooth hand reached into a
pair of jeans to extract a phone from the pocket. After dialing the number,
Blake started to talk in a calm voice to the person on the other end about what
was happening.
“The ambulance is coming. I didn’t realize that his body would react this way.”
And with that Blake calmly strolled out, leaving Draco behind to stare at the
seemingly dead body of Harry Potter. Draco came to a calamitous realization.
He never wanted to see Harry dead – or in any state of comatose – ever again.
