Title: Running Away
Disclaimer: Not mine, never was. Please, don't sue me. Don't know who does the song, but not mine either.
Summary: Draco realizes he is not wanted and runs away. Draco's POV. One-shot. Songfic.
A/N: I am tring to decide whether or not to make this more than a One-shot later. I need to know whether it is good enough to continue.
Warnings: Pre-slash, one sided feelings
A/N 2: Please don't ask me who the song is by, I have no idea. If you know, can you tell me? I am almost positive it is Linkin Park, though. Knowing me, I put several songs together and came up with this...
Pairings: Only Draco and Harry as far as I know.
#Guilty by association, they point the finger at me again#
My father is a Death Eater. I can't deny it anymore. I'm sixteen years old and this is my sixth year of Hogwarts. But you already know that. I know what everyone thinks. I can see all the students dart frightened looks at me. I can hear them whispering, asking why a Junior Death Eater is attending school.
#Guilty by association, you point the finger at me again.#
I get off the train and get into an empty carriage. No one knows that this year I can see the moonlight glinting off the Theastral's wings. I see you walking with your friends. You are smiling and laughing. I feel a smile of my own forming. Weasley sees me and points. You all turn. Weasley makes a nasty joke about me. You just laugh and jeer at me. I feel my heart plummet. It hurts so much. I settle back against the seat and close my eyes against the tears.
#I want to runaway, never say goodbye.#
A few weeks later, I have been avoiding you and yours. You haven't cared or noticed that I seem to have stopped bothering you and your friends. I am in potions with you today. My godfather pairs us up. I glare at him, he just raises an eyebrow. Your friends shoot you sympathetic looks, as they get paired up with other Griffindors. We fight and I end up with my heart broken even more.
#Wanna know the answers, no more lies.#
That night, I thought about my father. All I know is that he was raised to succeed his father, who was Voldemort's second in command. I too, was trained simaliarly. I was so angry with you last year, because you knew more about my father than I did. I'm sick of people lying to me.
#I wanna shut the door and open up my mind.#
I really didn't want to be like my father. I had decided long ago, I wasn't going to take the mark. I knew if I stayed, several things could happen. In all of my visions, I died. If I was forced to join Voldemort, you would hate me. You would kill me. I could join you. You would still hate me. My father's alliance with Voldemort would come back to haunt me. I would be killed by Voldemort. I chose the easiest course.
#I wanna run away and never say goodbye.#
In a moment of amazing clarity, I packed. I choose very few clothes, a potion or two, some money, a few books, and my wand. I spent a few minutes to write to you and a few other people letters. I put them in an envolope addressed to Dumbledore. I left the rest of my belongings. I walked to the edge of Hogwart's boundries. I took one last look at the Hogwarts grounds and appearated to an unknown location.
#Gonna run away, gonna run away. Gonna run away, gonna run away.#
I never regret leaving you. I had to leave. Too many depended on me leaving. I love you, I always will. You never would have believed me, had I tried to join you, anyway. I left and I can truthfully tell you that I never plan to bome back to you. It was slowly killing me. I have people who truely love me and I have saved so many lives. I have never once regreted anything concerning you.
#Gonna run away and never wonder why.#
Except for one thing, the fact, just one fact. You hate me.
Well, what did you think? So R&R and tell me please. Oh, and please try to restrain from flaming. Thank you.
