Title: Biography
House: Ravenclaw
Word Count: 100
Challenge: Born to be Bad
Characters/Pairings: Harry, implied H/D
Author's Notes: Both of these have the same first lines, and follow along basically on the same storyline. Set future, post-war. The uncut, not too much different, is under the cut.

The last word I spoke to you was sectumsempra, and it has taken me five years to be ready to face you again. I doubt myself, for thinking you evil, because even though you didn’t see how I knelt by your side, willing your blood to stop leaving your veins, you seem to be willing to forgive me.

Forgiveness, Draco, is the one thing I never expected, the one thing I thought you incapable of. I was too proud to admit my mistake, even after I saw that you couldn’t commit murder.

I never even found that weakness in myself.

I doubt myself, for thinking you evil, because even though you didn’t see how I knelt by your side, willing your blood to stop leaving your veins, as pale as you (although not as peaceful) you seem to be willing to forgive me.

The last word I spoke to you was Sectumsempra, and even though it said so much about what I felt, none of it was true. I regret that I wasn’t able to tell you that, and that you didn’t know how scared I was, drenched in your blood, as you lay at my feet, dying.

I had no reason to hate you then, and you must’ve thought that I did. I believed you were evil when you attempted to cause me pain. But I made you powerless in seconds as the last thing I did was attempt to murder you.

I know you hated me, and I don’t blame you. But I had no reason to hate you, at that point, at least, and you must have thought that I did. I thought you were evil, claimed you to be, when the last thing you did to me was attempt to cause me pain. But I rendered that futile, made you powerless in seconds, as the last thing I did was attempt to murder you.
