Chapter 1: Reminiscing

Good morning day
Sorry I'm not there
All my favorite friends
Vanished in the air
Time to fly
You can't even run
Once I have the world
Now I've got no one
If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to hold me down
I would change my direction
And save myself before I
If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to push me around
I would change my direction
And save myself before I
Drown
Drown
Good morning day
Sorry you're not here
All those times we before
Never this so clear
Time to walk
You can't even run
Once I have this world
Now I've lost it all
If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to hold me down
I would change my direction
and save myself before I
If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to push me around
I would change my direction
and save myself before I

Drown

Draco Malfoy sat in the Heads compartment as he listened to Three Days Grace. The melancholy music said exactly what he was feeling right now.

His mother had been killed by his father over summer break. The one parent that had loved him had been killed. He had endured his father's punishments as best as he could.

Draco gazed at his once pale and perfect skin. Now it was covered with scars and bruises. When he had gone home this summer his father seemed insane.

He tried to avoid him as much as possible, but Lucius wouldn't leave alone.

"No! Father! I promise I won't do it again. Please don't hurt me."

"Shut the fuck up. I can't believe I actually considered you as my son at some point in my life."

"I'm sorry father! Please stop!"

Lucius gazed up at him with a maniacal look in his eye.

"CRUCIO!"

He had covered all his scars with concealment charms, but the pain was still there. He still had dreams of that night.

"No! Lucius please stop! Please! He's our son."

"He's a worthless piece of shit that deserves to die! How dare he back talk me!"

"No! Lucius!"

"Get out of my way woman!"

"NO! Lucius! He's our son. You can't do this to him! To me!"

"SHUT UP WOMAN!"

"But-"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

"NO! MOTHER"

"Shut up boy! She was useless anyway. I will kill anyone that stands in my way."

"Even the people that had loved you father? You killed your wife."

"She was in my way. She should know not to get in the way when I'm punishing you."

"Father. I…I… can't believe it. You loved her."

"I never did love her. Sure, I did lust for her, but she no longer had any use. My only purpose is to serve the dark lord.. Now, where were we. CRUCIO!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Draco closed his eyes as he remembered the pain. His mother was dead. It was the only thing that kept him going. Now that she was dead, he felt like an empty shell.

He took out a knife from his trunk.

If I killed myself right now, no one would care. There's no one left that cares about me anyway. It would be so easy and quick.

Just as he was about to plunge the knife into him, the compartment door opened.

Okay, it was very short, but it was the first chapter. I need to know if people like it so far or not. I will update in a few days even if no one reviews so people can read more into the story. R & R!
