A/N: This is my set of drabbles for the DMHG Challenge over on LiveJournal. Each month we are given a prompt word, and all submissions must be Dramione-centric and exactly 100 words.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter universe or franchise nor do I make any money off of these.
July 2013 Prompt: innocence
Title: Losing Paradise
Rating: PG
Warnings: none
Draco hated the Dark Lord's return. His father was humiliated, his mother held prisoner, and he had been placed into a no-win scenario, forced to grow up far too quickly and was horribly jaded because of it. The only reason Draco wasn't already a bitter man like Snape was that he still had hope in the luck and cleverness of a certain bushy-haired know-it-all.
Which was shattered when he saw her standing captured in his family's front parlor. Her luck had run out and, by the look in her eyes, so had her cleverness.
No one could save him now.
