Disclaimer: Once again I have commandeered the world of a fantasy genius for ten minutes…

A/N: Written as a ten minute challenge. Don't remember from whom. Must be a series of Draco Malfoy ficlets. Each entry ten minutes until finished. This is the first instalment.

A/N 2: Unbetaed…

He told me that it was who I was to become…. No choice I made for it was already written.

He told me whom I was to wed…. No choice I was to make as the words had already been spoken.

He told me love was for filth, alliances were all that mattered… No choice to be made my heart turned to stone.

He told me pain was for the weak minded; only the strong would survive…. No choice was I given. It was shown to me. My pain, my mothers' pain and the pain which I was born and privileged to endure and in return inflict would make me a man. Would set me above the rest.

He told me that in his master's service we would be glorified. The Malfoy name kept pure…. No choice I would serve as was befit of me.

He told me pure blood was gold and tainted blood was filth….. No mudblood for friends the way had been paved.

He taught me money and power was everything… no choice to be found. Alliances formed. Attractions ignored.

He taught me that a Weasley was the scum of the earth…. Poor, disgrace to the wizarding name…Mudblood lovers… The message received and my actions conveyed.

He told me the girls sacrifice would be merciful… and yet I watched her suffer.

They all say I am evil….Yet how can that be. I am a product of environment. The son my father made me be…

As always please read and review. I would love to know what you thought of it….
