A/N

Draco's POV.

Lunch Time Contemplation

Potter looks very determined. I haven't seen him look this focused since before his godfather's death. What the hell could have happened in DADA that would motivate him so much?

Sweet Merlin… I can't believe I have the Golden Gryffindor's time table memorized.

Damn it.

But seriously he looks quite the heroic leader… strong shoulders, jaw set, gorgeous emerald eyes flashing… and I did not just think that.

How can Potter be so amazing? I mean, he means everything to everybody and he takes it in stride… well at least to the casual observer. I mean anyone who was looking for more than a hero would see the circles under his eyes or notice the weight he loses over summer break.

Bastard muggles.

I just wish we could be friends. I need someone… not that Malfoys ever need anything.

God damn Malfoy code of conduct. Malfoy means bad faith… how can we have a code of conduct. I mean what was the hell was Eudes thinking choosing a surname like that. Honestly what surname could be so horrible that you would switch to Malfoy and destroy any records of the previous surname?

And another thing I would like to know is how serving an insane Half-blood fits the Malfoy code of conduct. I have pride I bow to no Wizard. Daddy Dearest though doesn't hesitate to kisss Lord V's dirty rob hem. Fucking morons, all of them.

I mean really there are better ways to go about reform then to just randomly start killing people. Also isn't sort of inefficient to kill your followers when they screw up… not the kind of club most people want to join.

Fuck

Parkinson is simpering at me again. Did she miss the memo… I'm not exactly in my Lucius's good graces right now. Why the hell does she want to date me? She'd be better off chasing that Blaise bloke. His family isn't terribly wealthy but they are gaining ground in the DE circles. Though I'm not sure where Blaise's loyalties lie… I haven't seen a Dark Mark yet. But then again his parents might have enough sense to wait until his graduation to mark him.

Seriously why Lucius wanted me marked under Snape's and Dumbledore's noses is beyond me. Well… wait… Daddy Dear still thinks Snape is loyal to Lord V. I figured out he was a spy in third year. Of course I inherited my intellect from my mother's side. Daddy Dear just doesn't get things… but he can still bitch about my marks. At least I earned my OWL's, his father bought his.

Parkinson is giving me a headache… stupid bint. I wish I could just tell her to fuck off. But that wouldn't really be polite. Damn manners. Still I need to keep up appearances if I want the Slytherins to follow me. Surprising thing is how little they care that I've abandoned the "cause". It seems I'm not the only one who doesn't buy into our parents' little endeavor.

Our parents should know better… I mean the odds seem to be in Golden Boy's favor… and well we Slytherins watch our backs. Plus none of us really would enjoy bowing to a Half-blood. Heir of Slytherin or not. The truly amusing thing is that the pretentious prick is bold enough to think he is the only heir. The Black family is a direct descendent of old Salazar as well. I just had enough sense to keep the fact I'm a Parselmouth quiet… Lucius doesn't even know.

Hmm … that's something else Potter and I have in common.

But seriously the both of us have had manipulative adults playing us from a young age. I'm surprised we've made it this far without snapping. As much as I hate to admit it… Snape has been my saving grace. I think he wanted to keep me from making the same mistake as he did. Either that or he just really hates Lucius. I think he fancied my mother… but well the Blacks would have been fools to turn down an offer from the Malfoys.

Potter has been watching me the entire duration of lunch. It's starting to make me nervous. Is he pissed at me?

Merlin I was acting so off in Potions he probably thinks I want to hex his ass. Which would be a shame because he has such a nice ass.

Great now I'm staring at him. Hopefully it isn't too obvious. At least Slytherin and Gryffindor are across the room from each other. But with a rivalry between the houses it is very necessary. Though why we got stuck closest to the Hufflepuffs is beyond me. Maybe they hoped the Hufflepuff mentality would rub of on us evil Slytherins. Merlin I hope not… I'd have to Kedavra myself where I stand if I ever become a Hufflepuff. Stupid poncy bastards.

Ah the bell… time to get the hell out of her. Thank Salazar, Parkinson doesn't take Arthimancy.

Fuck…

Potter's walking toward me…

Fuck fuck fuck

What does he want…?
