Obedient

Disclaimer: I own Harry Potter. Yeah, that's right.

Obedience. Sometimes he couldn't even spell it correctly. Or so his father told him.

He'd been brought up at a very young age to know who the important people were: who to be polite to, who to respect, and who to not care about.

Be polite to the Malfoys. Respect the Dark Lord. Don't care about anyone else.

That was the mantra that had been drilled into him. Day after day, night after night.

He was truly his father's son.

That's why he did it. People wondered why he was so cruel. The reality was that he had no idea how to be anything else. Draco Malfoy was the perfect companion. Who else would let him behave the way he did?

He didn't care anyway. That was what he'd been told to believe: no one else was important. Don't care about them.

And so Vincent Crabbe's obedience became his downfall.
