A/N: Yay! Another fic! I happen to really like this idea … my theory is that the HP books are bias and J.K. Rowling judges how you feel about certain characters by their actions. What you have to do is put yourself in the position of the character not in her favour. (Eg. Petunia seems like the kind of person who wouldn't just hold a grudge against her sister for no reason … maybe Lily and the marauders played some nasty tricks on her through every school holidays and snapped at her for not treating it as a joke. Also take into consideration that Lily was in fact the favourite.). The point of this fic is to shed some light on the behaviour of certain characters who have been (in most fic's) have been portrayed as evil, sluttish, mean or stupid. So don't be mad at me if you think that it's OOC.

Disclaimer: I own nobody in this fic … because there's a word for that … its called slavery … and it's against the law!

Juxta Aegis

Draco strode over to his father.

It was the end of another year and Draco wasn't at all happy with the goings on that had happened during the year. And if Draco wasn't happy, then his father most certainly wasn't.

As he reached his father he expected him to yell and shout … or even hit him. But the man just eyed him disappointedly, turned on his heel, stormed off to the limo, his cloak billowing behind him.

During the year Draco had found out more than he wanted to know about his father. It was the most important thing to him that he kept it a secret. This secret had made Draco loose all respect for his father and, inevitably, Draco had stopped coming home for school holidays and, more importantly, stopped trying in school.

Draco had always done well in his schoolwork and in the end, had come in the top 5 of his grade; always. But now that he stopped trying, he was coming close to dead last.

Draco hung his head and trudged after his father and jumped in the back seat behind the driver.

Once they got home, Draco pulled his trunk up the stairs and into his bedroom, where he locked the door (not that it would be of much use if his father wanted to come in…) and collapsed on his bed with a groan.

"This is going to be a long summer," he muttered to himself. It was at that exact moment that Lucius reverted back to him old ways for a moment and burst through the door, and slapped Draco across the face causing a black eye to slowly immerge.

"What the hell were you thinking, boy?" Lucius asked in a dangerous tone, "If you don't do better next year … then your out of here! Understand!?" Draco nodded in understanding and Lucius turned and left the room.
