~if one drink can make tonight slip my mind, then I should drink up so I can forget that I have lived my life~
Draco stared into the bottom of his empty glass. How had life come to this? 26 years ago he'd been a carefree young wizard with a life of magic ahead of him and now, now he was a corrupt man in a loveless marriage with a woman he didn't know anymore. His father had had big plans for him and Draco hated what he'd become.
'Can I get you another?' asked the barmaid who'd spent the previous 10 minutes trying to get Draco's attention. 'i've seen you sit here every night for the past few months, you've obviously avoiding something. Want someone to talk to?' She wasn't giving up. Draco vaguely recognised her, she was a hufflepuff he'd found Crabbe and Goyle teasing during their first year at Hogwarts. He wasn't entirely sure of her name, although he was positive it began with a H...'Hannah...Helen...Heather!' He thought to himself desperately trying to remember, just so he could prove to himself that a little bit of his past was still there and he hadn't completely disappeared into the abyss life had become.
Draco dragged himself back to reality and grunted. What good was drinking anyway? It didn't solve his problems. He'd still have to go home, he'd still argue with Astoria and he'd still be back in the bar again tomorrow night.
It wasn't his fault, it was all because of that filthy - but oh so beautiful - MUDBLOOD.
