Draco took a deep breath to steady himself.
"It all started when I was six..."
Flashback
"Draco! For Gods sake! Why can't you perform even a simple spell?"
"Sorry daddy, I am trying but it's hard!" Draco whined at his father.
"It's not hard! When I was your age I had already mastered these spells and more!"
"Maybe," a voice said from behind Draco, he turned to see his aunt Bellatrix behind him, "you should beat the spells into him. Our fathers did it to us and look how well we turned out."
Draco looked to his father with pleading eyes, "No daddy, please don't! I will do better!"
"Stop whining you brat." Bellatrix said, smacking Draco around the back of the head as she went to stand at Lucius's side. "Do it Lucius, be a man for once in your life."
"Don't insult my masculinity Bellatrix, this is my house." Draco's father walked towards him whilst removing his belt.
"Take of your shirt Draco."
"Daddy?" the young Draco questioned, his voice breaking with fear.
"Do as I say!"
Draco removed his shirt with trembling hands and dropped it to the ground.
"Please." He whimpered.
"Turn around Draco." His father said, his eyes were cold and his voice was free of emotion.
Draco turned, his eyes squeezed shut and his whole body trembling in fear.
*CRACK*
He heard the noise before he felt the pain, but when the pain set in Draco fell to the floor screaming in agony.
"Every time he does something wrong, beat him, he'll soon learn." The door slammed as Bellatrix left. Draco rolled over and looked at his father, hoping it had all been an act to save his masculinity in front of Bellatrix but his fathers eyes were just as cold but there was also something else there…enjoyment.
End Flashback
Draco sat in the chair opposite Severus's desk curled into a ball and shaking.
"Like Bellatrix said, every time I do something wrong I get beaten." Draco whispered into his knees. The tears began falling down his face and he could no longer breath.
"Draco" Severus said quietly from the otherside of the desk.
Draco shook his head violently and a loud sob ripped from his chest.
"Shhh" Severus whispered, now directly next to the boy. Draco felt a hand on his back trying to slowly soothe him but it was doing the exact opposite. He could feel the fresher wounds on his back burning and it this in turn was bringing up too many unwanted memories.
"I can't do this!" Draco screamed. He stood up quickly and sprinted across the room and out of the door.
