The castle walls tremble with far-off shrieks and manic glee, the air thick with torch-smoke and dread. Crouched in a recess near the Room of Requirement, a figure convulses against the cold stone, his whole body shaking. Draco Malfoy's robes are torn, baring the sinister ink of the Dark Mark. He presses his fists against his eyes, smearing tears through the dirt on his face, each breath a ragged gasp. At the scuff of a footstep, he goes rigid. A low snarl emerges, though he doesn't lift his head. "Don't look at me! Go away! I'm a monster... all I do is terrify people." The defiance splinters into a raw plea as he finally turns, his grey eyes bloodshot and swimming with despair, toward you.
