A/N- Hey, this is my new fic; It's going tto have multiple themes, most
likely based on Linkin Park songs. If you have any ideas for new songs put
it into your reviews. I'm mostly trying to center this fanfic on my
favorite band Linkin Park so if you do want to post a song make sure it's
not pop, hip-hop, and/or R&B. I will only accept rock, nu-metal, heavy
metal, punk and grunge. I know that you all THINK Good Charlotte is punk
but I don't and absolutely NO Avril Lavigne. I know I'm picky but that's
just what I like. So NO flames on the music I choose!
Enjoy.
Chapter 1 - Numb
Draco sat on his bed, listening to his parents fight for the umpteenth time today. His parents always fought non-stop. Draco was almost as cold and un-caring as Lucius, just how his father wanted him to be. He felt no emotions or remorse for anything he did. His family drained every amount of hope for him to lead a normal life. He didn't care about anyone anymore; He felt as though he had no purpose but to take up space in this horrible world. The only thing he new was hatred; He saw it all his life. At least that was what his father wanted him to be... Draco was actually exactly the opposite of that, but he could never show his true self, for the fear of his father to find out. At school he put on his trademark sneer and led his life the way everyone thought he would. It was killing him, and it seemed that music was his only release. Draco got up and placed his favorite CD by Linkin Park onto a small magic base and started screaming the lyrics.
"I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly
Afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is
Another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
And every second I waste
Is more than I can take
But I know
I may end up falling too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you."
Draco lugged his trunk up to an empty compartment and went to sit down. He heard knocking on his compartment door before he could and opened up. In the doorway stood three apparently new students. They looked as if they were in 7th year along with him. The first one was a tall, handsome brunette boy that was wearing a black shirt that said 'This is my Clone' and baggy black pants. The next, also the tallest of the three, had long, straight black hair with silver streaks. She had a black shirt on that said 'Linkin Park' in red print with a picture of their winged soldier on the front and plain black pants and shoes. The last one was the shortest of them all, very shy and looking down at her feet. This one had long, straight, shiny black hair that covered her pale face, and was wearing a black hoodie that said 'MSI will turn you wicked gay' with pants that were too large for her form and combat boots. The taller girl pulled her hand from her pocket, held it out and said, "Hi, we're transfer students from America and I'm Ember. This is Fallon." She pointed to the girl on her left.
"Hi." The girl said in a small voice, still staring at the floor while wringing her hands.
Draco greeted the three and Ember continued, "She's really shy, don't mind her. This is Phyre."
"Hello, nice to meet you," Phyre said and nodded briefly.
"Everywhere else is full, so I was wondering if my friends and I could join you?" Ember asked politely.
"Yea, uh sure," Draco stuttered, leading them into the compartment.
"We've transferred to Hogwarts from an American school - Mandhelm's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - this summer. We all moved away from home to live together here in England. Where we used to live can't be found on any regular map, it's unplottable and all that. Somewhere on the East coast," Ember rambled on. Draco wasn't really listening to her though, he was just staring at the three, mindlessly wondering why the girl named Fallon had metal embedded in her eye.
Apparently Fallon noticed and asked, "I bet you're wondering what this is, aren't you?" she said as she pointed to the 'thing' in her eye.
"Well yea, I, uh, I guess. It's just that I've never seen anything quite like it." Draco said.
"Muggles have this thing called piercing." Fallon explained to him, acting as if Draco was a 1st year.
"A what?" Draco asked, perplexed.
"A P-I-E-R-C-I-N-G." Fallon spelled out patiently, sighing as if she thought 'This is
going to take a while.'
"Just tell the boy, Fallon," Ember whispered to her. Fallon grinned at her and turned back to Draco.
"Well, scary tattooed men run at you with long sharp needles and stab you in the eyebrow," Fallan began, stressing brow, "so I just stuck a piece of metal through the hole." She smiled at him and supressed her giggles.
"Will you just tell me, already?" Draco asked, getting agitated.
To Be Continued.
Enjoy.
