Hello BlueCapricorn here~

Yay! I've done a second chapter! Though sorry that this doesn't add more whats going on, but will clue you in on what's going to happened and I've tried to put stuff from canon and change them to be included in here. When I wrote this, I was thinking about Draco's first year of Hogwarts and this came up. Not character development but more like my own take in his past mixed with a different element in here. Hope you enjoy.

A friendly reminder to give a review or if you have any questions I can answer them in my tumblr page. Sorry this is not a lot but I have to get this part out of my mind before I go any further.

Thanks and hope you enjoy somewhat this chapter.

The Dragon Among the Clouds

Summary: /"Dragons never want to be bound. Never to be cornered and chained. It will not end well. I named you after a dragon not because of family tradition, Draco. I want you to be free to choose your own path and live."/ Draco holds into those words as he keeps on walking.

Chapter 2 Broken Path

Draco Malfoy, when he was little, didn't question the world around him like any other child. He experiences the best childhood his both parents can provide. In his mind, he was like any other child. That is until the age of six. He not only questioned the world around him but sees the dark side of humans that no child should experience at that age yet. Despite it happened many years ago, he still remembers the day and the days after that. The tears he shed, the promises that he'll be a strong wizard to protect his family, the changes along with choices he went through, and the guilt that he should've have done something.

As well remembering the first time, he conjures up the purple fire.

The Purple Will Fire

It was supposed to be a normal day of outing with his mother as they get new robes for the Yule Ball they are hosting. He remembers that they left the shop to go the Floo Network to get home. The sky couldn't be visible with the blanket of clouds covering the day. His mother had a glow around her when the few rays of sun that managed to pass through hit her long pale blond hair. Him sticking close as they made through Diagon Alley.

The only warning he had is a voice sneering his family's name before red light hit them.

Screams, pain, lights, and blood happened quickly.

Opening one eye, he sees the closed eyes of his mother and hair covering her face. Smudges of blood are on her face. Quivering in her protective embrace, his face swiveled to the approaching footsteps. A sneering man came close to them with a wand held a to their direction. He screams for someone to help and he looks around. People are hiding or looking away far away from their place. He looks back the man, holding his wand a small space away.

"Meet your demise, you Death Eaters." The last words are sneered before the wand moved.

All he remember is that he wanted to protect his mother and this man has gone as he sees wild eyes locked on them.

Purple fire blocks his vision before blackness took over and he knew no more.

When Draco wakes up, he's back in his room. He would've passed the whole experience as a dream if it weren't for his right eye being bandaged as well his hands. Everything in his body feels heavy like he has slept for a long time, which that realization scare him.

"Iego!" His personal house elf popped beside his bed. The white robe with gray pants is what the elf wore. Colors Draco choose after the full year that Iego becomes part of the Malfoy house staff as tradition. The little elf with big yellow eyes wringer his hands as a sign of worry before addressing him.

"What can Iego do for you, Master?" A light pitch voice comes from the magical creature, a light quiver in his voice.

Of course, the house elf would be worried about his Master. After a day away from home, his Master has his hair in a disarray, eye bandaged, and not awake make him worried, even more, the fact he doesn't know why and simply has orders to watch over the boy by the Head Master.

After taking a few breaths, Draco asked for his father and to bring him here. With the order, the elf nodded rapidly before popping away. Few minutes passed as Draco gently sat up and look around the room. The mirror near his bed reflected his state.

He didn't like it.

He can see the eyes a bit red, a bit sunken eyes, and pale skin. Before he can get decide to get out of his bed, his father with a blank expression entered the room with no greeting. This gave away to Draco that his father is turmoil with something.

Gray eyes meet gray eyes.

"...Draco..."

Draco's stomach squirmed after his name, not knowing that's the first sign that he won't like what he will hear.

After that talk, Draco acted like his age to let out sobs and tears. Mix feelings had him not able to stop for long moments that his elf had to bring water so he won't have a dry throat and try to stable his breathing.

His mother is still alive and well, but his baby sibling now joins their ancestors in the afterlife. His name would've been Scorpius

The color red in his room is shredded and destroyed. He orders new ones with a different color that it's not that color. Blues, gray, and green replaced the red.

He gained a hatred for people sneering or degrading his name in any way. Any who sneered at him is considered the enemy.

Death Eater is a word that everyone fears and it is associated with his family. This draws him close to the Dark Arts.

The believe that family matters more is more true to him. He'll make his family proud and he'll make sure everyone knows that his family is the best. Even if he has to boast about it.

He promised that he wants to be a strong wizard to defend his family. Even to the point that he can do spells perfectly.

From there on, his family and his godfather, Severus Snape started to teach him about the world around him. Though not just the wizard world…

Draco had a narrowed expression as his black muggle boots hit the broken pavement along the gated graveyard. He pulls out his hand from the muggle hoodie-pocket his muggle wristwatch and noticed that he needs to hurry up to the 'bus station' or else he'll miss the last ones of the late evening. He grumbled a bit as fits the urge to scratch at his bandaged arm on were the faded skull tattoo is.

'I can't believe I'm getting used to his clothing', he thinks on mundane things to keep his mind distracted from going to a darker path.

The hooded purple hair teenager continues on the broken path.
