Hey guys I was thinking about Harry Potter and if you have seen my profile lately you would know I love the house of snakes. This got me thinking about the prince of that very house, Draco Malfoy. I wrote this when I thought of myself in his (expensive) shoes. This is set before the first year. R&R and no flames Draco do the disclaimer Draco:Sparky dosent own HP or the song Perfect. Rewritten

Draco was sat in the bedroom at Malfoy Manor. His father had just finished his beating. The youngest Malfoy knew it was because he had interrupted his father's work, he didn't mean to he just wanted him to look at his picture of Mother and Father that he drew. His Father glared at him and burned the picture and after beat him like he did everyday.

Draco suddenly remembered a song he had herd one day in Diagon Alley when he was out shopping with his Mother and how it felt right for the situation he was in, so he sang.

Hey dad, look at me think back and talk to me did I grow up according to plan.

His father never treated him like a son, it was like his father always cast Imperio on him to grow up and act just like him.

And do you think im wasting my time doing things I wanna do. But it hurts when you dissaprove all along.

He wasn't to do things his father didn't want him to do he had to have his Ice prince act like his Father did, he still got punished for showing "touchy feely emotions" like happiness and tears.

And now I try hard to make it, I just wanna make you proud. Im never gonna be good enough for you, can't pretend im alright.

He was never good enough for his father unlike other Pure bloods who had others bowing at there feet, Draco Malfoy couldnt even make his father proud. Never had he ever herd "well done Draco" not even "I love you son"and when he herd other fathers say it to there kids, his heart broke and longed for the same thing.

And you can't change me, cause we lost it all, nothing lasts forever.

He was sitting in the corner of his room. Nothing he did was good in his father's cold eyes. He was supposed to be just like his father nothing less then expected and he got beaten because he behaved beneath a malfoy.

Im sorry I can't be perfect, now it's just to late and we can't go back, nothing lasts forever. I'm sorry I can't be perfect.

He was tired of pretending he was.

I try not to think about the things I feel inside. Did you know you used to be my hero?

He used to look up to Lucius Malfoy, admired how powerful he was and how he could win people over but now he realised he was just another pawn in his father's plan.

All the days you speant with me, now feel so far away. And it feels like you don't care anymore.

His father was always busy and neglected his son so much if it wasn't for his mother he was sure his father wouldn't remember him. He was sobbing now as he let his emotions out, something forbidden but he didn't care.

And now I try hard to make it, I just wanna make you proud, im never gonna be good enough for you.

He tried so hard to pretend for it all to crumble away to his father and he was done trying to be him.

I can't stand another fight, nothings alright. Cause we lost it all, nothing lasts forever.

His own thoughts were tearing him to shreds.

Im sorry I can't be perfect

He was full out crying his eyes out.

Nothing's change the things that you said and nothing's gonna make this right again.

Time went by and he still felt the words of his imperfections like fresh blood.

Please don't turn your back, I can't believe its so hard just to talk to you.

When they did it had to be professional. He laughed a cold humorous one as he knew everyone else thought he was spoilt by his father, quite opposite really.

But you don't understand

He never would.

Cause we lost it all, nothing lasts forever. im sorry I can't be perfect.

If he payed him any attention he would know that but he never did. The only time was when he used him as a dummy for hexing practice, crusioed since he could talk and his first few words had been "Daddy it hurts".

Now its just to late and we can't go back im sorry I can't be perfect.

He was was feeling dizzy from his sobbing but didn't stop.

Cause we lost it all nothing lasts forever, im sorry I can't be perfect. Now its just too late and we can't go back im sorry I can't be perfect.

The dizziness increasing caused him to pass out unaware of the fact his mother had herd his song and when he became unconscious she looked at the 10 year old and placed him in bed like only a mother could. She sensed lots of glamours on him and knew who had done this. She wanted it to only be her he hurt that was ok, but her dragon, her sweet innocent dragon should not have had this treatment. Kissing his forehead and asking Dobby if he'd look after him. Narcissa Malfoy marched into her 'husbands' study for a chat.

cliff cos this had to finish here this was gonna just be a one shot but now I think its better like this. Tune in next time . XXX Sparky.
