He had very pale skin, silver blond hair, and
gray-blue eyes. He was wailing in his mother's lap. Those eyes seem too cold to
belong to a baby, and even the wailing sounded mocking. Fourteen years later,
the very same boy stared at the picture with those very same icy gray-blue
eyes. He inherited his mother's snobbishness, his father's sarcasm, and most of
all, their money. He is everything a Malfoy should be, rich, snobbish and rude.
But he is nothing he wanted to be.
He was taught to be evil, one might say. He
grew up hearing the word "Lord Voldemort", he grew up listening to killing
stories, he grew up to be obedient to his father. It used to be his dream to
become an honored servant of Lord Voldemort, but it all changed since his
fifteenth birthday.
In
the previous year, Voldemort had returned. So on his fifteenth birthday, he was
given the privilege to follow the Death Eater to their tasks. He enjoyed for a
while, the Muggle torturing was fun to him. But when he saw someone being
killed, he discovered that he was not meant to be evil.
It was a dark night, the Death Eaters were
using a Cruciatus Curse on some Muggles. Suddenly the door burst open, an auror
hurried into the room. There was no blood, no struggle, only a jet of green
light, yet it was the most horrible scene he ever saw. His father cried "Avada
Kedevra!" a jet of green light shot out of the tip of his wand and hit the
auror. Everything turned to a slow motion before his eyes, the second the green
light hit him, the light of his shimmering eyes were extinguished, and the
brightness turned to a mist. The auror was dead before his body hit the floor
with a dull sound. He had heard this story so many times in his childhood, yet
it was never so vivid. The Death Eaters roared with laughter, but him, unable
to laugh felt a chill that made every hair on his body stand up, he thought
that maybe he wasn't meant to be evil.
But he has no choice, for that he was born a Malfoy, and
raised a Malfoy. Yet he didn't turn out to be as cruel as a Malfoy, but it was
too late for that it is he was destined to be evil, for that he is doomed from
the start.
