Playing our Parts: Drarry Oneshots/drabbles
Author: EmoBarbie
Pairing: This one really isn't very much Drarry. It's more just a Draco one shot. But I decided to put it into here anyways.
Disclaimer: I do not own any think of Harry Potter. I am simply using the characters to fill my own desire for writing.
-=-=Light of Hope=-=-
I was born exactly 16 years ago, today... "You are our light of hope, your fathers and mine." For 16 years I have lived trying to continue to be my parents light out of this darkness that shrouds them... Always getting good grades. Being the best at all I can...potions, quitch, whatever it is that I can excel in...and yet...it seems that it's not enough. Our family still looms in the darkness. It still surrounds us. No matter how good my grades are, or how proud I make the Malfoy name; it's still there. So today, I am going to make my father proud, once and for all. Today, I am going to finally become a true Malfoy. Then father will finally see what good I am.
"Father!"
Yes, once he sees this mark...this symbol of trust...of true power...this symbol that marks me as a true death eater. As one of Voldemorts himself. This mark that my father wears so proudly...
"Look father! The mark! I've been accepted!" Draco raised his sleeve in triumph. "I can make your proud now father! I can help the dark lord directly!" The mark still stung and throbbed, but all Draco can think of is what his fathers going to think...
Because I have finally realized why I was never good enough. Why I was never a good enough Malfoy. Why I was never a good enough light for my family. Why I could never help them, why I could never lead them out of this darkness that they have been suffocating in for so long... It was because I was to low of a person. All this time I've just been waiting for the unfortunate me to die so that I could finally lead my family out of this darkness. And I have...with this mark, that unfortunate me has finally died and the true Draco Malfoy has emerged rightfully to take his place as their guiding light. And finally...finally, father will be truly proud of me...
This day will be a day to remember. The day the unfortunate me died and the true light of hope sprang free of it's shackles. The day that all hope was once again brought back and all doubt died with the false hopes that had once been held. Now the way out of this darkness is clear for all to see. And this day shall be forever marked down as the day that the unfortunate me was traded for the true son of Lucius Malfoy.
Or so...that was how this day was supposed to be remembered, but...I just can't forget the way my father looked so sad that night.
Author's Note: The whole "You are our light of hope" thing was from a manga I once read, and I just couldn't get it out of my head that it was like Draco {Cause that's what the mother and father say about their son before the father leaves the mother and the mother goes to drastic measures. Trying to kill her son saying "If that light dies, your father will surely come back? Right? Right?" I was at first thinking of taking the same route, but I thought it's be better if maybe something like Draco kills his own LIGHT, even though he thinks it's going to actually help. I think I might make a second one to this were Draco realizes, that he didn't actually help anything or change anything. Instead of becoming his parents light, the only thing he did was kill their light...yes...maybe XD
