Disclaimer: the characters are not mine. Sigh! The story idea however is mine
A/N: this is a drabble. NO FLAMES.
Things will never be the same for me ever again after that day. The day Harry found Draco crying in the toilet. The very minute I heard the news I started to look at him in a different manner. I could see that behind that smirk and cold eyes was a little boy. A scared boy who was compelled to do the darkest and the most inhumane things due to familial responsibility. Even after Harry told me that Draco was ordered to kill Dumbledore. I knew that he was doing it against his will. The fact that he hesitated and could not bring himself to commit such an act, made my love for him grow stronger. The love that I have for Draco was not the same as the one I had for Harry. I love Harry with all my heart and will forever. Harry is the boy who steals my breath away. He is my Light in these dark days but when it comes to Draco, it is nothing remotely linked to romance but it is still love.
Every time I hear about a death eater being captured or killed I pray that it is not Draco. I pray that he is safe and is not causing harm to anyone. I pray that he runs away from the Death Eaters. I pray that Harry won't curse him if they ever meet each other.
There was one time when I was walking past some shops and from the corner of my eye I saw a boy with blond hair. I did not know how but I knew it was him.
"Draco!" I whispered but a tad too loudly as he turned around and faced me.
He looked at me with shock before saying "Weasley" with contempt. I did not get hurt but I simply smiled.
It was all an act. Yes, he may be a Malfoy but everyone was different and Draco was different and I saw it. It was because of this difference that I leaned foward and kissed his cheek. A sign of gratitude for being different, for being a bit more human.
" Take care Draco." I told him before walking away and ignoring the stares that I received from the passers-by.
When I turned to get a good look of him, I saw him touch his cheek and look at me with boyish wonderment. It was a scene I would never forget. I would always remember Draco as the dark knight who was actually a boy.
A/N: This is my first one short fic for Draco. Hope you like it and hope that you will review. I like feedback not flames. Thanks. :)
