Of Secrets and Truths
Chapter 1: Moonlight
A/N: I decided to write a drabble series for all the characters in Harry Potter. Some will be parings (both heterosexual and homosexual), or they might just be by themselves, and it will deal with emotions, secrets, friendship, love, etc. Special thanks to Brokenshardsofmyheart99 for beta'ing.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
For the majority of his life, he had been alone. No one bothered to befriend him for reasons unknown to him. Despite all that, he still held hope that one day he would be accepted into a group of friends. He never fathomed why he always thought that, if each passing day dwindled his chances at being with someone.
He closed his eyes, turned away from his closed window, and continued to force himself to go to sleep. The day had been long and painful. The constant shunning and teasing still brought tears to his eyes. Those tears always held back from creating two rivers of sadness down his pale face. Yet, it was only during the night when he let them shed.
Though each night was a constant reminder of what he had endured each day, he found solace. The moonlight always kept him safe and offered a bit of joy in his life. That kept him going on with life.
"Maybe it will change," he whispered into the darkness of the room.
It would be several years from that moment when his wishes for friends would come true. His life approached that blessing, and many memories that would come with it.
However, it would only be the next night when his trust in the moonlight would shatter. The next night Remus J. Lupin would come to know the dark side of the moon, and the curse that would be bestowed upon him.
And yet through that, even he would find that each day and night, full moon or not, would hold an even greater gift than friends. The moonlight would always accompany him, for it soon would become a part of him.
A/N: Thanks for reading! Draco Malfoy will be next.
