How Could this Happen to Me…?
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, and I do not make any money from these writings.
A/N: This is completely AU of
anything we know About Draco Malfoy, and his family life. There's
not much else I can say about that..
Warnings: Uh… yea.. child
abuse, and mentions of rape/molesting. –cringes- this is gonna be
one of my darker stories.
Prologue: Expert from the Diary of
Damion Malfoy
My name, is Damion Malfoy.
Yes I already know
what you're thinking: 'Dark Wizard', 'Death Eater' and all
around pain in the ass. Well.. the last part describes my brother,
Draconian.
But I digress, let me continue.
At this present time, Im 11 years old. My godfather got me this diary for my birthday this year, that way I can read back years from now and remember all the good times during school.
So, as I said, My
name is Damion Malfoy
I was born on June 5, 1980.
I have bright
blond hair, almost white, and pale silver eyes.
My father is
Lucius Malfoy, and Mother Narcissa.
And my older, identical twin,
brother: Draconian.
Right now, it's nearing the end of the
summer, and school's going to be starting soon. Which also means:
Draconian and I are going to be separated.
My father believes that
we will become better wizards if we are separated through school.
Originally, I was going to go to Hogwarts, and Draconian to
Durmstrang, but Mother insisted that the heir to the Malfoy fortune
go to the school his father did. So, In one week, I will be
travelling to Bulgaria, and Draconian will be on his way to
Hogwarts.
Between you and I diary, father didn't put up too much of a fight when mother suggested Draconian should go to Hogwarts, because I'm so different from my brother, where he will keep the family honor and most likely get placed into Slytherin, I would become a disgrace to the family seeing as how I would be in Gryffindor.
How do I know? I just do. Though Identical,
Draconian and I are… fairly different. He's more cunning, and
can come up with the perfect lie right on the spot (which has come in
handy when we were younger), and I was more likely to sneak out of my
room, and the Manor during the night and go walk around the grounds..
which is against father's rules. Draconian wouldn't, not unless I
begged him (he would do anything for me).
Yes, I know, not
very good reasons to prove I will be a Gryffindor but… just trust
me on that.
Writing in this diary is a lot easier than I thought
it would be. Draconian scoffed when Uncle Severus gave him one, but I
think that was more of a show.
I don't want to write anything.. Discriminating. Incase my father decides to snoop around, making sure I'm not getting to out of line. Of course, in his opinion, me breathing is out of line.
All those rumors you hear around, about Lucius Malfoy, are true. I'm pretty sure he's a Death Eater, and still very loyal to the missing Dark Lord.
You know.. it's strange, you look at the Malfoy family tree and you will see that there has never been a girl born into the Malfoy name for at least 600 years. Apparently, from the rumors that travel around, Draconian and I are supposed to have an older sister… who died in infancy of some unknown cause…
Right…
In my
guess, Father killed her. You cannot have a girl at the head of a
family like ours. And, Unfortuantly for me, twins are also supposed
to be out.
Draconian was the first born out of the two of us, so
when he turns 18 (that's when a heir can take the title of Lord
from his father; a Malfoy family tradition), he gets everything, and
I, pretty much, will get nothing. Not that I mind. Unlike Draconian I
have lost all respect for my father, and mother's respect is
slipping away more and more when she lets him continue to hit me.
I should be bitter I suppose, the fact that all I am to father is a punching bag, which my identical twin gets lavished and spoiled. Of course once again, I'm making it seem like I'm locked in some cupboard somewhere (who would ever live like that!): I have my own room, just as big as my brothers, I get the same things he does, just… I get all of father's 'extra' attention. Draconian has only ever been hit by father a couple of times, mostly when I have gotten him into too much trouble, but he never complains seeing as how I go through it every day.
It's getting late. I should
go to bed now before someone walks by and sees light coming from my
room.
