Song: Have A Heart
Here comes another day
I don't know if I can make it
Oh, I just realized it's so lonely being free
Runnin' from the pain
I'm never gonna shake it
Oh, how I need you to take it from me
I always thought that I would have the upper hand
But now I know that I'm really not that strong
If I could only make you understand
I'd give you the world but for a start...
Chapter Six: The Day of Doom
Eleven years ago
It had passed one week since Ginny had been rescued. Voldemort was outraged. Many Death Eaters had paid with their lives. He was so angry because his final dream had slipped through his fingers that he just had to do something. People would think he was a fool. He had to react, prove how he could be cruel. He became desperate.
Draco knew what he wanted and also knew when he was going to do it. Voldemort trusted him to be his most important ally.
In that day, when everything would be decided, Draco had woken up with an awful mood. His head had been aching all night. Actually it had been aching since the last Death Eater reunion two days before.
He was about to get out of his bed chamber when someone knocked.
'Who is it?' he asked in a voice that showed all his bad mood.
'It's Professor Snape!'
'Come in!' he said before watching the door open and Severus Snape get in. He knew the reason of the visit. The night before, Draco had told Snape that he was no longer sure of his choice of becoming a Death Eater. For the first time he thought there was too much to lose in that side of the war. Even if the things he had to lose were not his.
'Yesterday I told you you had to make a choice! I made a choice, then I saw I had gone the wrong way, I turned and finally I think I'm in the right side! It is your turn to see what's right for you! Stay with the Dark Lord until the end, come into the light and help Dumbledore defeat the Dark Lord or, like so many have done, just run away.'
'I know what my options are. I'm just not sure what each one can offer me!' Draco said sitting in the bed.
'I know it is hard! All your life you believed your father was in the right side and that the Dark Lord had all the reasons to do what he does and now, suddenly everything you believed in is no longer the same. But you have to chose and chose as fast as you can! I don't believe you have too much time.'
'Why do you say that?' Draco asked getting up. Snape couldn't know, the Dark Lord didn't trust him that much.
'I don't know, but somehow Potter convinced me. He says He is planning something big and his scar has been hurting all the time. Dumbledore thinks the next battle will be important but we know nothing more. So Think and chose Draco!' Snape looked at his student and left the room. He could see the fight Draco was having inside him. The Dark Lord almost killed the only person Draco had cared for, he had been forced to kill his own father and this was not over. It wouldn't take long until he knew the latest tragedy.
Draco sat on his bed again. He didn't feel like going to the Great Hall to have breakfast, so, has he had done for a week now, he headed to the kitchens where the house elves were so eager to serve him, except for Dobby, but he could understand why. He ate in silence, only talking when he needed anything.
He had just left the kitchens and was heading to his first class of the day, Care of Magical Creatures, when a Asian Bay Owl flew towards him, dropping an official letter from the Ministry for Magic. Before opening the letter he wondered what could the Mininstry want from him.
It is with great sorrow that we inform you that your mother, Narcissa Malfoy, was found lifeless in her bedchamber, in Malfoy Manor at one o'clock in the morning of the present day. We believe it to be suicide because there was no sign of struggle or forced entrance. Even so you may request for a deeper investigation.
Being you the only Malfoy member alive, all the possessions that once belonged to your father and mother will be yours.
We require your presence at the Department of Magical Law Enforcement for formal business.
Our condolences

Draco closed the letter and put it in his pocket. The day was getting worse by the minute. Instead of turning right to go to the grounds he turned left and headed to his room. He opened the door violently and threw him self to the bed. He was so angry. His life had made a 180ยบ turn in less than a month. He knew he should be sad for losing his mother but somehow his heart was numb. It had been hurting for so long that now it looked like it had frozen. Only one feeling remained there but he would do everything to crash that feeling, after all he had already lost her and there was no turning back. He stared at the ceiling wondering what did he have in his life. Money? Power? For the first time that didn't seem worth it. What was happening to him? He was feeling dead, like a corpse forced to live. Somewhere deep inside him he could still feel his heart beating, but it was going weaker and weaker with each second, soon or later the beatings would fade. He had nothing left in this world to live for.
Someone knocked on the door. This time he didn't even speak.
'I know you're in there! So don't pretend the room is empty because I saw you getting in!' Pansy Parkinson's voice came from outside.
'It's unlocked!' he said blankly, still lying on the bed.
'We need to talk!' Pansy said standing in front of him waiting for him to look at her.
'What do you want Parkinson? I'm having an awful day so spill it!' he said still not moving. He heard Pansy taking a deep breath not to be affected by his indifference.
'It's important Draco.' she said trying to remain calm 'Will you look at me when I'm talking to you?'
'Fine!' he said calmly getting up and looking at her. That was not the Pansy he knew. The girl in front of him had not that confident air and arrogant smile. This Pansy was scared. Her eyes were swollen, her face was wet with tears. She was still wearing her pajamas.'What is it?' he asked carefully.
'I just find out. I swear I didn't meant but it happened!' she cried.
'Say it Pansy.'
'I'm... pregnant!' she said.
'And what do I have to do with that?'
'You're the father! How can you even doubt that?'
'You fucked three quarters of the male population in Hogwarts! How can I not?'
'You are a bastard Draco Malfoy! But you are also the only bastard I had sex with in the past two month, believe it or not!'
'What do you want me to do about it? Marry you?' his voice was still as empty as it had been. He should be pissed but he wasn't.
'It was the right thing for you to do.'
Draco looked at her, deep in his thoughts.
'Go pack! Be ready to leave Hogwarts by lunch!' he said. Pansy looked at him confused. ' Go!'
Pansy left his room in a hurry. Draco took a deep breath and headed to Dumbledore's office.
A few hours later he left the Headmaster's office. There was one last thing he had to do. He headed to the Entrance Hall and stood there, in a dark corner. At any minute she would come inside, from her Care of Magical Creatures class. He just needed to see her one last time.
As he expected she came inside, laughing with Conlin Creevy. Her red hair falling into her shoulders, her lips had a beautiful smile, but her eyes, her hazel eyes, they were different, Draco wanted to know what was it that was haunting her beautiful eyes but he had no time. She looked around as if looking for something but quit short after. When she had passed the Great Hall doors he left, heading to his room.
Ginny entered the Entrance Hall with Colin. He was telling her what he was planing on doing in the summer. She felt a shiver going down her spine. He was there, he was watching her. She could feel it. She looked around but he was nowhere to be seen. She shook her head and looked at Colin. She knew he had been watching her all year. It had been painful but she had learned how to live with it. She got inside the Great Hall and a feeling of sorrow took over her. Something inside her seemed to fly away, never to come back.

Song: Fool
I was alone
I told my mouth to shut up cos I was talking to myself
Like I always do when I'm stuck
Well, I was crying
You could be crying too
I was screaming through the window, I keep missing you
And the tears came down from the sky
And the rain feel hard on my eyes
I really tried so hard to design my life
There's a big black void in head like it's been cut by a knife
Every time your name comes around this stupidity follows me down
As I said, this is a small chapter!
Well I want to thank you for all the reviews! Add some more please! lol
I'm not sure when will I be able to update. Test just started and they are driving me crazy.
Kisses and forgive me for my rusty English.
