Fire and Ice

A fanfic by Kaze Itai

HG/DM

Ice

A pair of icy blue eyes stared longingly, but full of contempt at the pages of a year book. A girl with frizzy brown hair danced slightly in the moving picture smiling in a sort of bashful way. The blonde haired boy scoffed in disgust and threw the book to the floor.

"Granger," he thought. "God why do I constantly find myself looking at her picture."

It was summer and yet the boy was content to stay indoors in his dark room. School had let out a month ago, and summer was half over. The boys' father and mother could care less about the boys' whereabouts.

"What a joke that school is. Why is father still sending me there I could do much better anywhere else. Perhaps I just won't go back there this year."

"You most certainly will go back," the voice of his father entered his mind. "Your education is important to the dark lord."

"The dark lord … what about him. He can go to hell for all I care." The boy thought to himself.

Without realizing Draco was getting off his bed he had decided to leave the large yet empty house he had called home all these years. For all the years he had believed in his fathers' words. Words saying that he was important, the dark lord had plans for him in his final year at Hogwarts. "Bull shit," Draco Malfoy thought to himself. "Voldemort only cares about one thing destroying Potter." Dracos' eyes shrunk into a glare. "He thinks with me there at school with him that he'll finally be able to kill Potter." Draco threw on a black t-shirt and black jeans, and silently left the house.

Draco wandered around outside for a couple hours before making his way back to the house to resume his brooding in the darkness of his room. He opened the door, but the house, that he had left empty, was no longer as such. His father was waiting in the front room for his return.

"Draco! Come here boy!" his father snapped.

Draco slowly trudged over to the room and sat on a black sofa across from his father. "Yes sir," Draco said sneering. He was dreading this just as he dread most conversations with his father.

"The dark lord believes you are finally old enough to join our ranks as a death eater." There was quite a long pause between this sentence and Lucius's next words. "You will be inducted the week before you leave for school and will also receive your first task then."

Draco just sat there staring at his father hating him and every word that left his lips. He knew this was unavoidable and had known it was a long time coming, but still he did not feel the pride he was supposed to feel about becoming a death eater instead he felt fear and loathing. In that moment Draco decided to make the unavoidable avoidable. He was going to leave Malfoy manor before anything could happen. He was of age now and could do what he wanted by the laws of the wizarding world, but he knew once he left he ought not come back ever again. He would also have to ensure that neither his father nor Voldemort could find him which meant he'd have to go to Dumbledore, Potter, Weasly and Granger. He hated the idea, but he had no choice, if he wanted to avoid becoming like his father.
