This world was never meant to hold happiness. It was never made to capture any glimpse of love. This world was never made to bring light to anyone.
I've grown up living a life that never had a bit of happiness in it. I was born Draco Lucius Malfoy. I was never loved by my parents, I had but a few friends, and I was constantly told what to do and what not to do. I was always taught "love is for the soft". My father didn't even love my mother. He was only with her because he needed an heir and her family had wealth. He had many mistresses and many children by them but he never seemed to care so neither did we.
Somehow though we stubborn humans fight for what we weren't 'meant to have'. Most of us fight every morning just to get up so we can fight the whole day just to see a glimpse of happiness. Many of us go through our entire day and sometimes our entire life just to look for 'the One' who can add love and meaning to our wretched lives.
As I grew older, I learned that nobody can have rule over me without my consent. I finally stopped letting my father and mother run over me. I even found love. She was perfect. She was my forbidden love though. Her name was Ginerva Weasley. Her hair moved liked fire and her eyes looked like the seas. We had to sneak around for several years until one day when we were caught. Her whole family were in an outrage and forbade me to see her again. Of course that never stopped me. We had to creep more but finally her parents gave up. We were married as soon as she finished Hogwarts. Our wedding day was brilliant with her family all there. My family of course never came in contact with me after I cut my ties with them in my sixth year at Hogwarts. Everything went without a hitch. Our honeymoon was the most amazing nights I have ever experienced. I had finally found my happiness and love.We had three children. Two boys and one girl. They were truly gifts of love. We were married 85 years until August of last year when I lost my angel. She died peacefully in her sleep. When she died, I could feel my heart finally melting completely and breaking free of all the ice that had covered it all those years.She was the spark that broke through and warmed my heart.It may not have been God's plan for my life to become so happy but maybe God's plan just sometimes don't work out like they were meant to.
We even search through the shadows just to catch a spark of light that can maybe just maybe give a bit of warmth to thaw the solid ice that covers our hearts. This world may have not been meant to live happily in, but Heaven knows we always try.
