Note: The Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling, not to me. My first Drastoria! xD Read, review, and enjoy!

"What am I trying to do
What am I trying to say
I'm not trying to tell you anything
You didn't know
When you woke up today"
—Depeche Mode, "Nothing"

He wakes up to a…
n e w day
&& for him,
each secondminutehour
is encompassed more
in the dark
No coddling will help
"Shh"s
"Tut-tut"s
the "There, there"s
—they're ridiculous
She'll never be able to
R-E-A-C-H him
It's because
—though he has all he could ever ask for—
he'll never be complete
A great family & life
is o n l y good when one
has a soul to enjoy them

Dark and short, yet very expressive… I think I, like many others, wonder what truly became of Draco and his mentality following the war… Hmmm…
Thanks for reading, and please review!
