Draco's P.O.V.

He was my poison.

He would be the death of me.

Even now he is slowly killing me from the inside out.

I hated him. I loved him.

I hated what he did to me. I couldn't live without his torture.

He was a drug I was addicted to. A toxin I couldn't, no wouldn't, purify myself of.

I longed to see him everyday, even if just for a moment. I loved seeing his eyes radiate ecstasy, to watch his spirit whirl wildly about him, embracing everything around him.

I dreaded the time when he saw me. I hated watching those eyes flare in recognition, in loathing, in fury. I hated seeing his wild, free, and loving spirit retract unto himself, coiling itself tightly, ready to explode. I hated the words he spoke to me, venom drenching every word he spoke to me.

I longed to be the one by his side. To support him, laugh with him, love him.

I hated the one that stole him from me, some petty Hufflepuff girl. She caged his heart, electrified the bars, and melted the key.

I was forced to watch from a distance, to feel my heart be severed piece by piece, to feel my blood boil and burn, to cry acid tears, to slowly die.

I was ready to die, but he wouldn't let me.

He graced me with one smile. He forced me to live, to wait to die all over again.

I hated him. I loved him.

He was my poison. He was my life.
