Story Behind Blue Eyes

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters. PS. SCRUFFY DUCKIES!!!!!

Everyone has a story behind their eyes, which holds a moral, which holds a plot. Each person has a book of their life inside them, full of memories, hopes, desires, and thoughts. If that story breaks, will the person break too? Will a tear of a page lead to disaster, or will a turn of a page lead to a happy ending. If the book is damaged, will the person's life be damaged? If that book is destroyed, will the person also be destroyed? This is Draco Malfoy's story.

Draco's P.O.V

You never know where fate can bring you, you know? I mean, one minute, you're this happy innocent child full of dreams and desires, and it seems like nothing can bring out your hopes. But it's funny how fate goes, you know? I mean, the next moment, after being a happy, innocent child you are this arrogant, irritating person full of evil and bitterness, and it seems like nothing can change you to what you really are. Fate. Must let your life decide your choices. Fate. I wish I could make my choices, but I cannot. I will never make my own choices. Funny how fate goes, isn't it?

It was late November; the autumn leaves heavenly fell down to earth, leaving a pile of festival colored leaves. I remember as a child, when I was around six years old, my mother and used to run outside and play in the leaves. I remember it like it was yesterday, but I suppose yesterday went by too fast, didn't it.

Then I remember as time went by, snow was cascading down my cheek, and I opened my mouth, running around in the snow, in hope of getting snowflakes on my tongue. When I was trying, my mom picked me up and spun me around, and placed me down on the snow, and I made a snow angel. My mom lifted me up to leave it perfect and we stood there gazing at it.

But those are happy memories, memories I always want to keep. Others I want to forget. It was in Summer, and I had just finished my fifth year. I heard from Mother that Father was going to be home full time because the ministry let him off for vacation. I mean, I don't hate my father, but sometimes I really do. Like this one time, and I suppose it was the largest argument I ever had with him.

flashback

"I'm home!" yelled a fifteen -year-old Draco Malfoy, stepping into the large hall, where Misty, his house-elf, brought his trunk to his room. His Mother scurried into the hall, and greeted her son with an immense embrace, and Draco was desperately calling out, "mum, I can't breathe!"

His mother immediately let go of him, and observed him. "You've grown so much, my little boy!" she cooed, ruffling up his already messy hair. "Mum, he said, I am not a boy", although an amused smirk was placed on his face.

As If on cue, Lucius Malfoy stepped into the hall, and walked grandly towards his son. "Draco" he greeted coldly, yet sharply. "Father" Draco greeted back with the same attitude.

"I see you have returned home. How enlightening" he sneered. He placed his cane on the ground, and walked swiftly towards his son, observing him the same way his mother did, only in a cooler, more unwelcoming way.

"Draco, please follow me to my study. We have business to discuss" Lucius said, and quickly walked towards the hallway leading to his study. Draco caught one last glance at his mother and followed him, practically having to run to catch up to him; which sort of reminded of Severus Snape, Draco's godfather.

Lucius opened the door, and let Draco enter, and he quickly shut the door behind him. Draco sat in one of the green velvet chairs located by the front of Lucius's desk. Lucius sat down gracefully, and looked at Draco straight in the eye.

"As you know" Lucius began, "the dark lord is regaining strength rapidly, and to increase that strength more, he needs more followers" he stopped, and look at Draco's face. "The dark lord requests that you join his ranks on August 25, and on the 28th, we are planning to attack the ministry. To do so, we need more followers. On August 25th, you will become a death eater" Lucius said sternly.

Draco looked at his father with an angry, irritated look. "Don't I have a choice of what I want to be? Don't I get to decide for my own perspective, what in the bloody hell makes you want to think that I, Draco Malfoy, want to join Moldy Voldy?!" he burst, and immedietley regretted what he said. Why, oh why, did he say THAT?

If looks could kill, Draco would be dead on the spot. Lucius took out his wand and pointed it at his sons' forehead.

"If you don't join, there will be consequences" Lucius said dangerously.

"Try me" Draco said, and thought to himself; me and my big stupid mouth! That's it, I'm putting tape on it later...

Without noticing, Lucius yelled out; "CRUCIO!"

Draco fell to the floor, withering in pain and anguish. He cried out, begging for it to stop, as he felt the terrible effects of the curse. After a minute, or so, Lucius's father took the curse off, and said before stalking of, "Next time, think before you speak" and left swiftly out the door.

Back to Draco's POV

I could almost feel the pain after thinking that memory. He shivered in fear, thinking about it. And that's how I, Draconis Lucius Malfoy, became a Death Eater, something he would regret for the rest of his life. I was marked yesterday, and today, I was going to call my godfather and ask him what to do.

My black backpack stuffed with broken dreams
Twenty bucks should get me through the week
Never said a word of discontentment
Thought it a thousand times but now
I'm leaving home

Here in the shadows
I'm safe, I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
but I cannot stay where I don't belong

Two months pass by and it's getting cold
I know I'm not lost I'm just alone
But I won't cry, I won't give up, I can't go back now
Waking up is knowing who you really are

Here in the shadows
I'm safe, I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
but I cannot stay where I don't belong

In the shadows
I'm safe, I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
but I cannot stay here

Oh, show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more dismay in empty eyes.
