Chapter 6 - A Dreadful Secret
Draco sat alone in his room in the Slytherin Tower, thinking of everything that had happened in his life. He remembered. He remembered always being consented. He remembered always being pleased by his father. He had thought that had been because he was loved. Wrong. He had found out the truth on a summer night, when his parents were discussing. He had sneaked near the room they were talking, and, out of plain curiosity, he had listened. And he regretted it.
***(flashback)***
"This child of yours is only causing trouble, Narcissa! I'm tired of pleasing him in everything, like I'm his servant!"
"This child of mine is also the child of the Dark Lord, Lucius, and you have been honored to take care of him when his father wasn't able to!"
"By Merlin! The Dark Lord only cares of himself! He doesn't give a broken wand for Draco!"
"Liar! He wants him to become a great wizard!"
"He wants him out of his way to greatness, he wants him out of his life!"
"When Tom shall hear this ."
"I'm tired of serving his son! I became a Death Eater to eliminate unworthy mud-bloods, not to raise a bastard!"
***(end of flashback)***
At first, Draco couldn't believe his own ears, but his mother couldn't but confirm all this when asked. Narcissa had Draco little time before Voldemort had lost his powers. After loosing his powers, the Dark Lord had made one of his Death Eaters, Lucius Malfoy, to marry Narrcissa and claim Draco as his own son.
Now that he knew all that he felt betrayed and lost. He tried to maintain his way through the Dark Arts, he tried to be the same cool- blooded Draco Malfoy, but he couldn't. His father wasn't his father, his mother never loved him and his real father didn't care about him. He needed someone to understand him. Someone to care for him. And he fell in love. With Hermione Granger. But she couldn't accept the fact that he was to become a dark wizard. And he couldn't tell her the truth. He was afraid that once she knew it she would hate him more than ever.

A/N: So what do you think? *grin* Is that crazy or not? Will Draco tell Hermione the truth? What will happen to Draco? *grin*
