Summary: Songfic to Simple Plan's "Perfect"…Draco refuse to be a death eater like his father. Could be considered a companion to Romeo and Juliet:HP Style.

"YOU WILL BE A DEATH EATER!" Lucious screamed at his disobedient son Draco. When will you get it? Draco thought as he prepared for another beating from his father, I will not follow in your footsteps father!

Hey Dad look at me

Think back and talk to me

Did I grow up according

To plan?

Do you think I'm wasting

My time doing things I

Wanna do?

But it hurts when you

Disapprove all along

'SLAP' you will follow orders you piece of shit. You are lucky I allow you to live for Narcissa's sake or else you'd been dead a long time ago. Tears shown through though Draco tried to hide them knowing what his father's reaction would be.

And now I try hard to make it

I just wanna you proud

I'm never gonna be good

Enough for you

I can't pretend that

I'm alright

And you can't change me

Who'd think that I the great Draco Malfoy would be a victim of abuse? Draco thought as he was kicked into his room wondering when he would be able to leave this hell for Hogwarts escaping the wrath of his father. He stared at the ceiling listening and felt his stomach churn as he heard his father near his room.

'Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late

And we can't go back

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect.

'Here comes round number 2' Draco thought as he heard his doorknob turning and he awaited patiently for his father to enter once again trying to convince him to be a death eater. He refused to go against his beautiful girlfriend, Virginia Weasley. 'I hope your alright' were his last thoughts before his father's fist connected with his face.

I try not to think

About the pain I feel inside

Did you know you used to be

My hero?

All the days

You spent with me

Now seem so far away

And it feels like you don't

Care anymore

And now I try hard to make it

I just wanna make you proud

I'm never gonna be good

Enough for you

Can't stand another fight

And nothing' alright

Narcissa watched as her husband punched her son senseless. 'Why didn't I leave that bastard when I had the chance?" She thought as she cried silent tears for her son. The chance was long gone for she knew she couldn't get away with Draco hurt this bad. Unless she contacted his girlfriend without Lucious knowing.

'Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late

And we can't go back

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Narcissa watched as the owl flew out the window. She willed it to hurry she knew her son wouldn't last much longer. She hoped they could save him from her husband who she though of as a cold hearted bastard worse than Voldemort himself. She started to worry as the minutes passed, but she gave a sigh of relief when she saw the aurors arrive. Everything was gonna be alright.

Nothing's gonna change
The things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this
Right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
But you don't understand

'Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late

And we can't go back

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

'Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late

And we can't go back

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect.

~Perfect~ by Simple Plan.

A/N I was crying as I wrote this. It's a Songfic companion to my D/G Story. I was listening to Simple Plan when I thought of it and How it could relate to Draco. Please review even though it is a one-shot Songfic. I do ask for no flames. I rather not here from those who feel the need to put-down others in a mean offensive way. Thanks!
