The Greater Cause
Draco sat against the wall, as silent as possible in the hopes Greyback would forget about him in the few hours left before he went home. Home, where he hadn't been in weeks; not that it was any more cheerful than this horrible place, but at least it didn't smell and he could eat whenever he liked. And the greatest part, no Greyback. Even thinking of the foul creature filled him with disgust.
He would however, have to endure days of his mothers constant worrying and be patient as she watched over him as though he were a child, and be mindful not to anger his father. Draco sighed loudly, something he regretted instantly as he tensed, listening. But no sounds met his ears, no shuffling of footsteps that signaled the approach of the appalling werewolf.
Draco sighed again, quietly this time, as he thought over his current situation for the millionth time. Being a Death Eater was not quite what he had imagined. Instead of being powerful and feared, he was hiding in a rotting corner, hoping to avoid the very person his master had assigned him to. And with an uncomfortable jolt of shame, he remembered the night on the tower and his inability to complete his task.
Worse he had failed with an audience of Death Eaters and had run like a coward after. Draco shifted, trying not to think of the previous year and how disillusioned he had become. He also tried to push away the memories of his breakdowns, crying in bathrooms, when his missions didn't go as planned, telling himself it was all for the greater cause.
The greater cause, he could honestly care less at this point, Mudbloods could rule the world as long as he could stay far away from Greyback and Voldemort. Draco ran a hand through his hair, wishing time would speed up so he could get out of this place. But with a sense of bleakness he acknowledged to himself that he would have to come back and continue to do so until he was told otherwise.
Tired of hiding in the dark, he stood, wincing slightly as the blood rushed to his feet. His unwillingness to spend anymore time with Greyback then absolutely necessary was pushed aside by his ever worsening boredom and his need to put his disquieting thoughts out of his head.
Read & Review please! The chapters will get longer as the story develops and Remus and Draco start to interact. That, and it's really late. You know you need to go to bed when your spelling "the" wrong!
