This is my first fanfiction, the idea came to me when I was listening to the song on my ipod.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything all credit to J.K. Rowling.

I can't escape this hell

So many times I've tried

But I'm still caged inside

Somebody get me through this nightmare

I can't control myself

So what if you can see

The darkest side of me

No one will ever change

This animal I have become

Help me believe it's not the real me

Somebody help me tame this animal

Draco didn't know how much longer he could keep this up. That damn vanishing cabinet had yet to be fixed and he was running out of time. Unlike everyone assumed this wasn't what he wanted. He was being forced into something all because of his stupid father. It was up to Draco to 'bring back the family name to its former status'. He felt like a lamb being sent out to the slaughter.

There was no one who could help him now, not even Saint Potter would hesitate to kill him after this.

There was nowhere to go he had run out of options. He stood over the sink in the boy's bathroom sink splashing water in his face. He saw his reflection in the mirror and shuddered, he stood pale and frail looking no longer like arrogant boy he used to be.

Draco then did something completely unfamiliar to him. He cried.

I can't escape myself

So many times I've lied

But there's still rage inside

Somebody get me through this nightmare

I can't control myself

So what if you can see

The darkest side of me

No one will ever change

This animal I have become

Help me believe it's not the real me

Somebody help me tame this animal I have become

Help me believe it's not the real me

Somebody help me tame this animal

Somebody help me through this nightmare

I can't control myself

Somebody wake me from this nightmare

I can't escape this hell

So what if you can see the darkest side of me

No one will ever change this animal I have become

Help me believe it's not the real me

Somebody help me tame this animal I have become

Help me believe it's not the real me

Somebody help me tame this animal

His silent sobs were broken by a voice.

"You hexed her didn't you Malfoy", Harry shouted.

Curses were thrown across the room shattering tile and glass. Both Harry and Draco sprinted around the room trying to hit each other with their spells. Neither had been successful until

"Sectumsempra", Harry cried.

Draco hit the floor in shock, pain growing in his torso. The once white shirt he wore bloomed rosettes and the floor turned red. He felt himself slipping away slowly.

Suddenly he heard murmuring above him. Opening his eyes he saw Snape. His shirt was returning to its former color. He muttered some curses under his breath.

He realized that this had probably been his only chance to escape it all without coming out as a coward or hated. He lay and pondered what could have been.
