Behind his eyes

Chapter 1

Draco was getting out of one of the Malfoy family coaches to get on the Hogwarts Express, he was so happy he could finally get away from his home and his father to be at school again he loved it there it was like his real home and he wished he could stay in it's walls forever never having to face Luscious again.

Draco had changed a lot over the summer he had decided he did not like Crabbe and Goyle sticking up for him because it made him look like some sort of baby, and that is not what a Malfoy is.

Anyway he started working out and he definitely had the muscles to prove it ha he laughed to himself Potty and Weasel aren't going to know what hit them.He also knew that he looked a whole lot better to not like some half snake half human thing , oh he was going to have a whole lot of fun with girls this year .

In fact he thought it is going to be a great year now he was finally away from Luscious , he had gotten one of the positions as a prefect he looked good,he didn't really feel alright though as he thought back to his fathers proposal and how he would not accept it and the punishment for not doing so.

FLASHBACK ~ He was just sitting on his black silk bed when there was a knock on the door Luscious came in. "Draco the Dark Lord is growing inpatient you have to give him your answer it is a high honor to be one of his followers let alone him wanting you to be his heir". "NO", Draco said very forcefully I don't know what you see in him all he has done is killed innocent people how could you want me to be a murderer in his place, it absolutely disgusts me to have my own father associated with Mr Voldie.

"What has come over you boy, oh you will pay for that don't you dear insult my Lord and yours to be ever again"Luscious yelled. " Crucio" he said with his wand pointed at Draco, Draco tried so hard not show that it was extremely hurting him but something must have given him away because his father just smiled then said "I suggest you think about my offer it could mean the start of your life then again it could be the end",then he spun around and left Draco lying on the floor.That night Draco cried himself to sleep he hated his father and Voldemort so much, he needed away to get out. ~



He was still thinking about how to get out of his his situation but for the meantime he had the train to get onto so he hauled his trunk to the side of the train and put it in the luggage area. Then he went onto the train and sat in an empty compartment thinking of all his problems, slowly he fell asleep.
