A drabble for the Mirror of Erised challenge on xoxLewrahxox's forum.
In case it's unclear – and it is probably the case – my character is Lucius Malfoy.
Mirror of Erised
These two weeks the challenge on this forum will be dedicated to the Mirror of Erised. It can be what a person see in it, a person thinking of what he/she saw in it, what he/she may see in it... Anything, as long as it involves the Mirror of Erised.
He used to see glory – power – domination.
(back then he ruled the world)
He had everything, and yet he yearned for more – he yearned for blood.
(and he was given what he wanted)
Blood splashed his face and hands, soaked his perfect façades, corrupted his son's soul.
(and his pride was crushed)
All he wanted then was a wand – to protect – and a place to hide.
(but he'd fallen from grace)
And he's bled, thrashed and cried – but in the mirror now he sees a family, and when he turns, they're still there.
(in the end, he's been fucking lucky)
