A Small Crime
Title: A Small Crime
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairings: Morag MacDougal/Draco Malfoy
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Notes: Written quickly from a bunny.
Summary: Draco knew it wasn't a fairy tale, he just didn't know how much.
Draco did it because he thought it was best. He knew it was horribly selfish of him, but he already had his parents lives on the line, and he was surprisingly terrified of what could possibly happen.
It was wrong in so many ways, but it was a small lie, a small crime. He bit the inside of his cheek when he saw her shoulders crumble and the cruel words escaped his mouth. “It’s over, Morag.” He knew, somehow, that he was breaking her heart, but he knew he could fix it after the war, after everything.
It would be better for him to be hollow and her to hurt now, than for her to be a target because he cared--no, though he had never admitted it, because he loved her. “Did you think it would last? There was never going to be a happily ever after.” he ran a hand through his hair. “besides, I’m with Astoria.”
He didn’t realise how true it was to be. He had hoped to fix it, make it better after the war was over and he could care about her safely. What he had never expected was for her to belong to someone else by he time that rolled around.
