Pairings: Draco/Harry (maybe a few others later.)
Authors Note: This story is based off of Hawksong and the intro leans much more heavily on the book than the rest of the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or the charecters from that story, I just like to borrow them. I also do not own this plot nor most of the wording in the intro that my dearies belongs to Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, author of Hawksong. I do not intend to by any way imply that Amelia Atwater-Rhodes or JK Rowling are bad writers, quite the contrary I think they are both such amazing writers that I wanted to try to combine their stories and see how that turned out. I am not making any profit off of this aside from my own enjoyment of writing it.
My name is Draco Malfoy and I am the sole surviving heir to the Slytherin throne, the last of the cobras, save for my father who is too old to be doing the strenuous job of being king. I am only 16 years old.
All my life my people have been at war, at war with the Gryffindors.
Almost before a child of my kind learns to control their second form, the form of a snake that at times feels more natural then that of a human, they are taught to hate. They are taught of war. They learn of the race that calls itself Gryffindor. They are taught that they are untrustworthy, that they are liars and loyal to no one.
What they are never taught is how the fighting began. That has been forgotten.
They are taught that the Gryffindors murdered their families and loved ones.
That is all they are taught.
That was all I was taught.
The days, the weeks and the years pass but the bloodshed continues. I hum the songs my mother used to sing to me, songs of peace. Peace I have never known nor my father and mother nor my grandparents or my great-grandparents and on and on. These are all I have left of her, for she like many others has died in this war.
Why do we fight this war? To avenge the dead,
But there are too many dead to be avenged.
My sister never returned home last night.
How long till their assassins find me?
-Draco Malfoy
Heir to the Slytherin Crown.
AN: Please Review! It hard for me to finish a story if I don't think anyone likes it.
