I'm Just Returning the Favour

by Pinklion

The Order of the Phoenix had tried everything to get him to their side, including giving the ultimatum. "The Light" or death. But Draco refused to be a tool and left a poem to explain his final choice. Rated purely for suicide mention.

Disclaimer: I own nothing created by J.K. Rowling. If only...

Author's Note: Draco has committed suicide and this is the note he left. I hope it makes you think...

You kept away, you locked me out

For as long as you could you did without

Now you need me but I'm no longer here

So remember your failures and tremble in fear

You mocked and you jeered, scorned and accused

If I did something kind you said it must be a ruse

So with the passing of time I learned the rule

Only your house determined your worth in this school

My parents were cruel

And you far from kind

You are one and the same, why can't you see?

Connected by much, united through hatred of me

First it was a look, then a whisper then a word

You cared not at all whether or not I heard

And hear I did, I can recite it all

"Like father, like son" Was the favourite one

You made me choose. You said to pick a side. I thought at first that you offered a choice but then I realized the truth: it was your side or death by your hands. I hate following orders, being used as a pawn. So at once I rebelled, struck out on my own.

I followed your orders, now you follow mine

I was too young, too weak, too naïve

Simply for spite I'll tell you a secret: I didn't want to die

I'm going to hell, that much I know

But here's some news, I'm taking you with me

You let me die, I'm just returning the favour

Please review. I will give you a virtual mouth pear...
