Escape

Draco Malfoy, shaking, slowly walked form the room in which he had hidden.

In his head all he could hear was his mother's voice, screaming in fear, yelling out defence for herself to her husband, he had gotten drunk again. He had shouted insults, lashing out. Draco had gotten a slap round the face and words of disappointment from his father, mostly drunken nonsense. He had hidden, trying his best not to cry, but the stinging in his eyes and the heavy lump in his throat were too hard to ignore.

This had been the worse his father had ever gotten. He covered his tear-stained face and closed his eyes; he couldn't live like this any more. For two whole hours he could hear them arguing until his mother screamed in pain and fled to her room. His father roared out, and dropped into a chair into a deep sleep.

Draco stared at the wall unblinking for ten minuets, until he walked from the room.

Back in the present he could see broken glass, tipped over furniture, and his father asleep in a chair, fear and anger spread through his body, in his veins, like electricity.

Then he heard the stairs creak, his mother walked down slowly, a large bruise on her face, she was paler then a ghost.

She cleaned up the room, the burning sun rising, and gave Draco a hug, noticing the trickle of blood coming from his cheek. She whispered "Draco, my dear son, we are leaving" they both collected their stuff, quietly, and left the great manor.

Lucius was in for a great surprise, and a lot of grief. They were to go to Narcissas sister's house.

Draco knew that he would never really get away from his father, but this was a start, and he was glad he would never have to listen to his mothers screams ever again.

Two beds and a coffee machine.

And she takes another step

Slowly she opens the door

Check that he is sleeping

Pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor

Been up half the night screaming now its time to get away

Pack all the kids in the car

Another bruise to try and hide

Another alibi to write

Another ditch in the road

You keep moving

Another stop sign

You keep moving on

And the years go by so fast

Wonder how I ever made it through

And there are children to think of

Baby's asleep in the backseat

Wonder how they'll ever make it through this living nightmare

But the mind is an amazing thing

Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel

Two beds and a coffee machine

But there are groceries to buy

And she knows she'll have to go home

Another ditch in the road

You keep moving

Another stop sign

You keep moving on

And the years go by so fast

Wonder how I ever made it through

Another bruise to try and hide

Another alibi to write

Another lonely highway in the black of night

But there's hope in the darkness

You know you're going to make it

Another ditch in the road

Keep moving

Another stop sign

You keep moving on

And the years go by so fast

Silent fortress built to last

Wonder how I ever made it.

He was scared, but confident, he knew they would carry on no matter what, but he wondered how he would ever make it through.
