Mindless Tears

Chapter 5

Draco:

He ran away, from everything and everyone. Gone from the pain and torture of living, living in a world where his life was given to death as an offering. He's scared, scared of everything and everything that he touched. Afraid that they'd take everything he wanted to live for. His life was at a constant chaos that gave no happiness. I'm glad he's gone.

I continue my walk towards my common room. It's been a week since the funeral and no one has realized that it was all a total fake. How nice humans are to deception. Severus or I have not told the headmaster of Potter's recent escape.

Severus has been cold to me as of late. I guess our companionship is dying within it self. I wasn't too surprise at it. But I was surprise at how early it was.

Christmas has passed as well and I wonder what Potter had done for the holidays. Probably alone like that day on the rock by the lake. He contemplating his existence as he sat by a fire or look out a window and watch the snow fall. His eyes full of a longing of a human closeness to something.

Argh... why am I thinking of this. I don't care and I shouldn't for I am a Malfoy. I don't care for others. I kill them with my fangs. This is hopeless.

I reach the stone wall that protects the common room and say the password.

"Eternity."

Nice to be a prefect in this school. I walk in to the room and see many morbid faces. It seems the death of the boy who lived has caused everyone to break. Pansy is even behaving for once. She isn't latched on to my arm as she usually is. No, her eyes are red and swollen from crying.

It's seems the death of Harry Potter has effected everyone.

They all look up at me and Blaise is the first to approach.

"Are we going to live? You know the promise they made us."

I nod as I remember the promise to the whole of Slytherin House. A promise to protect us from our families' horrible fate of bowing down to a man of no pureblood. I don't bow to anyone and I'm not planning to.

"I hope so. If not someone will pay and it'll be us." I say as I walk past him and up the stairs to my room.

I think of Voldemort pulling out our hearts one by one as he finds out we all betrayed him. To give him to Dumbledore willing and dropping him at the old man's feet. I wish I felt better about facing the danger that the house has brought upon it self. The pain will continue for us but at least Potter has escaped. He would've broke too soon and be of no use to us.

I guess destiny has cut him a break and his life will be to a normal standard.
