I don't own any of the characters here! Draco, Lucius and Narcissa belong to J.K. Rowling and WB Studios! I own the idea of this story.

*Please do not steal this poem! It belongs to my friend Dominick!*


It was an ordinary night in Malfoy Manor. Except… there were the yells by Mr. Malfoy, the cries from Mrs. Malfoy and the screams from young Master Malfoy.

*SLAP* You worthless piece of nothing!

*kick* You should be proud *smack* to be *smack* a *hit* MALFOY! (Scream) I can't *punch* believe *kick* you would *punch* LET *kick* A * FILTHY*kick* LITTLE *hit* MUDBLOOD *punch in stomach* (I gasped and screamed) get the highest *kick* grade! You *punches* shouldn't even *kicks* be here! You *hits* should be *hits me one last time* DEAD!

Oh father, I wish I was. I wish I was.

"You can leave now, boy. " He spat to me.

Yes Father.

"Don't make those mistakes again or it will be worse."

Yes Father.

I start to drag my bloody, beaten flesh down the hallway.

As soon as I get to the cavern-like room I call home,

I take off the spells on the wall.

All you could see were walls and walls filled with crimson-red.

I take out my one true friend; my trusty, sharp razor.

As I begin cutting my fingertips, I finally sigh in relief. *sigh*

A tiny jet of red liquid comes out as I cut each finger with the blade.

Like a crimson waterfall.

As soon as I finished, I started to write a poem with my bloodied fingers.

Walking along the road,

paved with the sorrows

and lies of the past.

Walking - burdens towed,

along a path I do not know

to discovery - to ever last.

Walking; making my life

as my own tale of me,

of the eloquence.

Walking, waking, a knife

to cut through the

cloud of despair - life repents.

As soon as I finished, I wiped off my hands and put the the razor back in it's spot.

After putting the spells back up, I heard a knock on my dark, wooden door.

"Draco, dear? It's your mother. I wanted to see how you're doing." said Narcissa

After I let her in the doorway, she gasps. I realize I forgot to put back on the usual glamour charms I wore in front of her.

Lucky for me, I already covered my hands.

"D-Draco? Why are you so bruised up? How long have you been hiding this?" said Narcissa

"Not very long, mother."

"W-Why are there so many?"

*sigh* Might as well tell the truth

"Well mother, I usually hide them from you. I-I didn't want you to worry."

"Not to worry?! *cruel laugh* Well, now I am worrying! I-I can't believe Lucius would do such a thing!"

*sigh* "This is what I was worrying about, mother."

Well, I am going to have a little "chat" with Lucius RIGHT NOW! Goodbye Draco, I love you. (As she's walking away) Mother, WAIT! *Narcissa stops walking*

"He'll hurt me even more if you get involved. He'll think I'm t-too weak to speak to him myself. He might even...h-hurt you...too. " said Draco

*turns around to look at Draco*

W-What do you mean, dear? *nervous laugh* said Narcissa

*Draco sighs* I'm not a child anymore, you know? *Narcissa looks around the room scared* I notice how you have a limp or bruises on you sometimes. *she gasps*

How do you know?! I-I've always been so careful. *sits down on Draco's bed* I-I've been trying to be so damn careful all this time.

I WAS TRYING TO KEEP YOU SAFE! *bursts into tears*
