Draco's POV

(first stanza, he's referring, 'us' as in Malfoys)

(Draco is talking to Harry, Ron, and Hermione when referring to 'you')

You all assume

All of us are the same

That all of us are

Heartless,

Cruel.

Heartless…

Am I?

Is it because

I'm not cared for,

As well as you?

Or is it because,

I don't show emotions,

As often as you?

that doesn't mean,

I'm not loved,

That doesn't mean,

I don't hurt.

Because I do.

Cruel…

A rotten rich brat…

But how would you know

You only know me

as a nemesis,

A foe.

If you gave me a chance,

If you didn't judge me…

by the house I was sorted to,

or by my last name…

Malfoy.

If you just didn't judge me

Before you got to know me.

Is it because I don't praise Potter?

Is it because I'm in Slytherin?

Is that why I'm "cruel?"

Is that why I'm "heartless?"

Am I really the one who's

Heartless?

Cruel?

Are you sure

It's me,

Not you?
