Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or the song.

The song is called "Hello" by Evanescence.

Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you she´s not breathing?
Hello, I'm your mind giving you
Someone to talk to
Hello

Draco was thinking as he dragged his feet towards Malfoy Manor. It was Christmas and he had to go home. He thought about Potter and Weasel and that snobby Granger girl.

Why do I have to go home again? Why didn't I accept Grangers invite to stay with her and Weasel? I wonder if she knows what is going on at home. Why did she even invite me? Can she…

His fathers voice broke into his thoughts "Get in here NOW! he shouted. As Draco ducked through the door way he felt his father strike him. Once he got in he turned and faced his dad.

"Yes,sir?" he inquired.

"Get to your room this instant!"

"Yes, sir," he whimpered. "Here we go again," he thought to himself.

If I smile and don´t believe
Soon I know I´ll wake from this dream
Don´t try to fix me, I´m not broken
Hello, I'm the lie, living for you so you can hide
Don´t cry.

His father walked in and started to undo his belt. He folded it in two and snapped it.

"What is this for?" Lucius asked Draco.

"For dawdling?" Draco offered.

"That's right," he replied as he lashed out at him.

Don't cry. Whatever you do don't cry. That is just what he wants. Don't give it to him.

After several lashes he felt his body go numb.

Finally I can be free. I can break away from all my pain. I can finally die.

Suddenly I know I´m not sleeping
Hello, I´m still here
All that´s left of yesterday.

A.N. Please tell me what you think. It is my first fanfic so don't be too harsh. I do believe in constructive criticism though. Thanks. Love ya.
