Disclaimer: I do not own anything from the Harry Potter Universe.

This drabble was written using my own sentence: He's reminded of a porcelain doll, red, iridescent curls that his fingers long to run through, framing a pale face; and the more he stares at her, the more he watches her flit about idly through the hallway with a stream of boys after her, the more he wants to break her.

Draco Malfoy does not desire anything in the world that he cannot have. But there is one thing, one girl, who fails to fall within his grasp. He sees her on a daily basis, always wandering about the halls of Hogwarts, her brandy colored eyes shining with mirth. She's always surrounded by people, girls and boys alike.

She isn't perfect. No, he still finds her to be a disgusting Muggle lover. But for some reason, he cannot get her out of his head. He watches her from the alcove, musical laughter reaching his ears, and he realizes how much he hates her. She represents everything he hates, and yet his desire for her is tantamount.

Draco's lips curl into a sneer, and his demeanor darkens as he spots her moving closer towards him. He's reminded of a porcelain doll, red, iridescent curls that his fingers long to run through, framing a pale face; and the more he stares at her, the more he watches her flit about idly through the hallway with a stream of boys after her, the more he wants to break her.

He wishes that he can take her by the arm and pull her in the alcove and feel that pale, perfect skin against his palm. He wants to see the dark bruises that would form under his touch, hear the small gasp that she would emit. He can almost hear her voice, and then he realizes he is hearing her voice.

"You've been following me," she breathes, her breath tickling his ear. "I prefer men who don't hide in the dark like little girls."

He smirks. She's fallen into his web, and she will struggle to try and get free when he is finished. But once caught, she won't be able to escape.

The OSS Drabble Challenge, Round 3

Peruse the OSS Thread and find an already existing sentence that strikes your fancy, then either expand the sentence (so that it is a part of your drabble) or write a prequel or a sequel to the sentence.

Include the original sentence and its author when you post your drabble - give credit where due. You do not need to include the three word prompt for the sentence.

(for example: This drabble is inspired by Starlit Skyes's sentence, "Draco noticed how Ginny's eyes, the color of warm, melting chocolate, shone in joy as they danced to the slow music of the annual Christmas ball.")

Guidelines:

Like the OSS, drabbles should be D/G centric

Do not exceed 300 words, excluding the original sentence. As the Ravenclaw HOH, I will make you edit.

You may post more than one drabble.

You may use a sentence that someone else has already used.

You may use one of your own sentences.

You have until April 30 to post.
