You may think of me as you wish,

But you will never get me right.


If you're useful to me

I will be your best friend,

But you would be a fool

To ever trust me.

Knowing you, though,

You will be foolish enough

To believe every word I say.


If you dare to cross me,

You'll be dead

Before your mind

Is able to comprehend

What has just happened.

Or perhaps I won't kill you.

Perhaps I'll just break you down

Until you're completely beyond repair.

Yes, I think I prefer to damage you.

Death is much too easy and painless.


If you're wise

You'll make sure

To stay in my good graces

Because if you're my enemy

You will have many reasons to fear me.

I will show you neither mercy nor pity,

For I do not believe in such words.

They are not in my vocabulary

Nor in the official Malfoy dictionary.


If you're nothing to me

Then stay out my way,

And you will be just fine.

I could care less

What happens to you.


You think you know me.

You think you know my mind,

But I am countless steps

Ahead of whatever

You are thinking.

Checkmate.

Your King has just been taken by me.

You just haven't realized it yet.

I'll give you a few minutes

To catch up.


You think you know

My goals and my plans,

But you'll quickly learn

That my motives

Are beyond your reasoning.

Don't even try to understand me

Because you'll never

Be able to accomplish that task.

I'm not that obvious.

I'm a Slytherin in every way.


You'll never get the truth from me.

No, all you'll ever get from me

Is a mask of cold indifference.

Accept the lie

Because the truth is my business,

Not yours.


I am who I am,

And I'm not going

To change for anyone.

My reality will never be your reality,

And I'm truly fine with that.

I really could care less

What you think of me,

And you should feel honoured

If I take any time

To think about you.


I'm a Pureblood and a Malfoy,

And that's all you really

Need to know about me

Because that's all

I'm ever going to offer you.
