The Depressing Reality of Christmas - A very Black Christmas

by viv-heart

Christmas isn't merry for everyone. Let's not pretend otherwise. Sometimes you can't help yourself but to hate the holiday as it reminds you of all the things you have lost. But sometimes reminding yourself that you aren't alone with your feelings helps. Stay strong. With Love, your personal Grinch Divided into 3 parts, 6 drabbles each.

6. Draco

Draco – 6th year

Draco was reading the same sentence for the third time. Theo and Blaise were talking about something stupid next to him. They were the only other Slytherin 6th years that stayed over for the Christmas break. Draco wasn't too happy about that. They could be so fucking annoying.

Both were a little too observant and that could be dangerous as Draco wasn't sure about their stance on blood-purity. If they got wind of something they shouldn't and told a teacher or even Dumbledore himself his mother would die. And he couldn't allow that. No, he wouldn't allow that. He didn't want his mother to die and he would do everything to protect her. Even let Death Eaters into Hogwarts or kill Dumbledore.

He had to. For his mother. He missed her, but he knew that he couldn't go home over the break. Not with the Dark Lord and his crazy aunt around. He would only endanger himself and his mother. He couldn't risk that.
