Life according to a Malfoy
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
Draco knew all too well that he was going to be walking in his father's footprints soon. Almost too soon, according to Draco. But making his father Lucius proud and seeing Narcissa smile at him would make it all wortwhile. He just knew it.
From an early age Draco had been taught 'the most basic of knowledge' – Lucius had called it so while pouring himself some Firewhisky – that Purebloods were superior to Mudbloods. And of course Draco had believed it with a heartbeat. He knew that his father's words were not to be ignored. But as time passed he grew sceptical about it.
As his Sixth Year in Hogwarts almost came to an end he realized that Blaise, although a funny guy, was not someone he enjoyed hanging out with.
They were in the Great Hall having breakfast. Draco had found himself staring at Potter and his friends, all the while Blaise chatted vividly about some rich girl that he'd met in Italy. Draco decided to tune everything out by making some clattering noises with his spoon against a bowl. Somehow, strangely enough, he couldn't stop staring at the Golden Trio.
They were laughing loudly and making funny faces as they did so. If Draco were in a better mood he'd definitely make fun of Scarhead's stupid glasses, which were slipping further down his nose as he laughed. But today all he could think of was how genuienly happy the lot looked. Draco would never admit it, but seeing them made something within him sting. Although he quite knew what that feeling was, he never wanted to admit it. He only stopped staring at them when Blaise finally turned his attention to Draco, smirking at him.
"You're getting porridge all over your sleeves."
That night, Draco couldn't sleep.
Author's note: This is my first story here on . Originally I had planned to make this a oneshot, but I'm thinking about writing at least two more chapters – up to the point where Draco confronts Dumbledore on the Astronomy Tower.
I know this chapter was short, but I promise that I will make the other two chapters longer.:)
I'd love to get some feedback too, but it's not necessary.
