Draco Malfoy had always been classified as a brat. Of course he was in Slytherin, as was the rest of his family. He had always been classified as the 'devil' at Hogwarts. He was always torturing younger kids, muggle-borns, and kids he just didn't like. Although his main target was Harry Potter, everyone got a bit of his so called 'wrath'. He was always bossing around his loyal 'followers', Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy Parkinson. He also seemed to think he was better than everyone else, as did all the other Slytherin girls.

But he had always just been a brat. Nothing more. But in his sixth year at Hogwarts, he had something else to deal with. Something that no one knew about, something so horrible that no one could imagine. His assignment from the Dark Lord. His father's punishment for failing to retrieve the prophecy. He was to kill Albus Dumbledore. Draco had become bait, bait that his family's life rested upon. He had never much like Dumbledore anyway, thinking he was a fool for putting so much trust in everyone. But even though he didn't really like his headmaster, he wasn't able to kill him. Wasn't able to finish him off, even to save his own mother, his own father.

Draco Malfoy had always been classified as a brat. But in his sixth year at Hogwarts, Draco showed his darkest side. His darkest cynicism. Then, Draco Malfoy was no longer known as just the 'brat' or 'devil' at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. No, now he was known as a Death Eater. As he would always be from that point on.
