The Ocean Hath Grown
A/N: I dunno where this came from, but it's sad and dark. Draco's point of view.
Disclaimer: JK's stuff is hers. Need I say more? Thought not...

Hmmm...I always thought that it would be easy. I have money. Power. Prestige. The girls swoon and drool, practically throwing themselves at me. But I don't want any of them. I have no interest; they'd be a waste of my time. I sit here, looking out upon the battlements of the castle, watching the moon. So pale. So beautiful. And yet so cold and indifferent at the same time. I wonder...Where did it all turn sour? I have it all. So why am I so miserable? I don't know...The search for the answers just turned up more questions that remain unanswered. Quickly, I dig my Nimbus 2001 out of my trunk, fasten my cloak and take off for the top of the Astronomy Tower. The height of the cold tower is dizzying, the air acute in the updrafts. Straddling the broomstick, I take a sharp dive and am headed straight down in a free-for-all. Cloak billows out, like giant bat wings, silver hair blowing around my head. Eyes narrow as the pinpricks in the distance loom up close and personal. Quickly I pull out of the dive, up towards the great expanse of the universe. So dark...except for the moon. The beacon of light in the distance. I follow it, feeling it draw my soul towards it like wave in the ocean. Speaking of which, I'm currently flying over. I see a sandy shore and circle, debating. I feel at peace now. But will it change? If I come down, will I feel the same? Different? I'll never know if I don't try, I figure. Landing on the soft sand, the anguish comes back. This time, I'm not sure if I can control the tears.

A/N: Poor Draco... Seriously, I think my Muses took a vacation and left me with that to push around. My other story is much better, go read that one. It's called 'Tom's Progeny" Trust, it's a lot better than this one.
Catrion: I'm sorry, didja miss me that much?
Aidaca: I honestly don't know how she even came across you, Cat...
Potionsmaster: Hey!! Where've you guys been, huh? You left me hanging around with...with...I-dunno-who to keep me company!
Muses together: Sorry!
Potionsmaster: Yeah, right...
Aidaca: I think the sun burned my skin whiter than it was...
Catrion: Seraphim don't burn, when you gonna learn?
Potionsmaster: Help...
