Shadows
The candles flickert ever so softly as Harry
passed them. He was on his way to the kitchens for a midnight imbiss, after
he hadn't
been to dinner because of quidditch practice.
Carefully as not to set it on fire, he pulled his invisibility cloak closer
around himself, as
an icy wind blew through the corridor.
Suddenly he heard a noise coming from the
corridor ahead of him. He quickly ducked into a small niche as not to be
discovered by
whoever was passing. There were two voices,
the darker one he could clearly identify as Professor Snape's, the other
one seemed to
belong to a student. "I just finished grading
your potion examns..." there was a long silence. "And I must say, I'm highly
dissapointed
by you. You have a B-, that is much below
your standards." his voice was as cold as ice.
"OK, I'm sorry. I'll try doing it better next time, then." Malfoy... Harry recognized the voice of the blond Slytherin.
"That will not be enough" Snape replied.
"What then?" there was something challenging in Malfoys voice. "Are you
going to take points
from your own house? I don't think so!"
"No I will not. But you will do extra credits,
my dear boy" In his entire time at Hogwarts, by now six whole years, had
Harry never
heard Snape talking to Malfoy in such a
way. "I'm not your dear boy!" Malfoy said between clenched teeth. "And
I will not do these
extra credits you are talking about."
Snape laughed coldly. "Oh yes, you will." then, with clear disdain in his voice he added. "You are a shame for your family".
Harry nearly gasped out loud. Malfoy a shame
for his family? This perfect little version of the famous Lucius Malfoy
a shame for his family?
What the hell was going on here?! But Snape
already continued.
"It is a pity you are not more like-" he
stopped in mid sentence. "Who?" Malfoy's eyes were sparkling with anger.
"Why can't you say it?
It's a pity I'm not more like Sevius. That's
what you wanted to say, isn't it?" he glared at Snape. "Well, to your information,
I'm not your
fucking perfect little godson, alright?
I tried my best to make you and my parents happy, but honestly I don't
care anymore!" He shook his
head feverently. "I don't want to try to
be like him, I want to be myself. I am Draco Malfoy, and if that's not
enough for you, then go
screw yourself." He stormed away, into the
direction of the Slytherin dungeons. But as he reached the corner, he turned
around and Harry
was surprised to see tears glittering in
his silver-blue eyes.
"I am not my brother!"
