Road To Wonder

-

Draco once saw a butterfly in the Malfoy gardens as a child. Its wings were big and silken, the color of sinful scarlet with little splotches of blue. It fluttered delicately in the air, landing on bright flowers. Draco had lain still on the grass until the butterfly approached him and Draco loved it so much that he suddenly brought his hands together over the tiny creature but it was fast and flew away. Its wings were crushed though and it fell on the ground.

Potter clung to him tearfully and Draco imagined that he had crushed Potter's wings too.
