Month Fourty-Five Challenge: Innocence
Until Proven Guilty
His head bent, Draco awaited his verdict from the Wizengamot. He could feel the judgment and angry stares against his back; regardless of his sentence, he was and would forever be considered guilty by them all.
He could move, of course, and he didn't care much about what the rest of the world thought of him – only what ishe/i thought.
The door opened; though quietly, it was loud in the still room. Draco looked up when he noticed the wild hair in the corner of his eye; Hermione had come.
Their eyes met, and she smiled at him in compassion.
