Author's Notes: My first drabble for this community. Angst-infused. Takes place after the events of HBP.
Draco stood shaking, and not from winter’s chill. He’d never be forgiven. Never…
“Apologies are worthless,” he’d said coldly. “You endangered many lives.”
“I’m sorry! My family… had to protect-”
He’d snorted derisively. “No, you were just a smug little shit thinking you’d won Voldemort’s favor.”
“At first, but-”
“GO AWAY!” Harry’s magic had lifted and thrown him outdoors… falling hard upon soft snow. Draco stood lest cold emptiness within darken cold, sparkling splendor. Cold… the impartial lover of both beauty and pain.
Fall down. Sink in. Let beauty enfold him, twinkling like stars across the darkness of his soul.
