Now…back to what I came here to do…WRITE!
.:CHAPTER THREE:.
"Ah…Malfoy…what have you brought me today?" asked the pawn shop owner greasily. "Silverware, jewelry…the usual," answered Draco taking ten or so items out of his bag. "Perfect" the shop owner smirked. He glanced over the valuables for a brief moment and then said: "I'll give you ten galleons and three sickles for the lot" "Ten galleons and three sickles for this? Are you mad? This one pendant with the pearls is worth more than double what you've just offered me!" Draco said angrily.
"Will you take it or not?" said the shopkeeper. "Fuck you. I'll take it and go somewhere else." Draco spat. He shoved the stolen goods back in his bag and turned around to leave the shop. "Are you quite sure you want to be doing that?" said the shopkeeper. "You are very well aware that no other place would even let you in their shop let alone barter for the stuff that you bring in. They know who you are. The only reason you've been able to earn anything at all is because I offered to give you money for the goods you bring in to me."
Draco stopped just as he reached the door handle. He took a deep breath, turned around and said. "Yeah? And why did you even offer to take the crap from me in the first place? Wasn't it because you were in debt to Lucius? Did you think that by taking this stuff off of my hands, you would somehow be repaying him for what he did for you?" The smirk vanished from the pawn shop owner's face.
"So what if I am? Your father is just an empty shell! Do you remember when the Dementors gave him the Kiss? It wouldn't even matter if I paid him back! Just give me the items and I will give you the money." snarled the shopkeeper.
"Fine." Draco gave him the items and he took the money reluctantly. He did know perfectly well that even though he could get more money at another shop, they would never accept anything from him. As for his father being an empty shell, he really didn't give a shit.
