Death Sentence
"Ugh!" Draco screamed and kicked at the bathroom pipes. He couldn't believe it. It had happened yet again! Why? Oh, why were all his plans failing? First Katie, idiotic girl! He had thought that the Imperius curse that had been cast on her was strong. But he couldn't trust Crabbe and his dumb brains of course. It was wrong on his part to take such a huge risk!
But his second plan, that had been ingenious! A perfect way to kill his all too much knowing old headmaster. But Potter and Weasley had to butt in! Now, Draco felt that Dumbledore had started to suspect foul play by him, the way he stared at him sometimes. As if reading every thought that has ever crossed his mind.
He had to think of something else…something much more deadly…something which would definitely succeed.
With a trembling hand he pushed up the sleeve on his left hand and stared at the skull and snake etched on his arm. Why had he been so stupid? Why had he thought that the Dark Lord was appreciating him and not just punishing his parents' mistakes? But, even if he had known what he knew now, he couldn't have refused the Dark Lord's wishes. That would have only resulted in his immediate death.
He had to complete his task, he had to…or else the Dark Lord would kill him and his family. He didn't want to die…no…
Feeling defeated, he collapsed on the bathroom floor, and sat there hugging his knees and crying. At that moment, he felt nothing but weak. He was just a boy…who had been forced to choose all the wrong choices.
Ah…how he wished he could turn his life.
A/N: Set during Half Blood Prince, when Draco's plans are failing, he's pretty desperate and doesn't have a calm state of mind. Hope I did justice to him!
