The 5 Drabbles Competition. Popular pairing: Draco/Hermione. Prompt: "Scream My Name" by Tove Lo
Hurt
"She's worthless," Lucius yells and Draco flinches, anger rising in him. He hasn't felt true anger in months. She's changed something in him – or maybe he changed for her.
"I love her." He's managing to keep calm. His mother is silent throughout the exchange. Lucius is fuming.
"She's everything we hate – everything we fought to be rid of!"
Draco shook his head, growing tired of hearing her talked about in such a way.
"I never had a choice in what I believed," he said. "I was born into this madness, and I want out. The war is over. I'm done fighting."
It would be the last time he saw Lucius for a very long time.
