Ad Hominem
Prima Lux Chapter 8 Day V
I laced my trainers and listened to Lee's snoring. It was four o'clock. Still dark. Sunrise was about an hour off. I slowly made my way down the spiral staircase and into the common room. The elves had cleaned and stoked the fire. It was roaring merrily and invited me to a chair in front of it. I relaxed my muscles then stretched my calves for about ten minutes before I headed out.
The rain had stopped and the sky had cleared nicely. My run was fast, but tapered off to a slow, dull jog. The sky was beginning to lighten as I passed the main doors. A shadow caught my eye and I stopped. I walked the few paces back to the doors I had seen just moments before. I was about six meters from the stairs. Malfoy was leaning against the stone arch of the doors on my right with his arms folded across his chest. His back was against the school, he was facing the opposite wall, and his right leg crossed his left. I took a step toward him and he turned his head a little. He was still badly bruised and bandaged, but he was clean and freshly robed. He looked like the old Malfoy, the cold statue of perfection. He stared at me with a half-lidded silver-blue eye. I could hear my breath coming in hard short huffs. The first rays of the sun broke over the tree line and I opened my mouth to speak, but he spoke first.
"I thought I'd give sunrise a try.'

A/N-Wow! Did you make it to the end? This was a long one. If you did read it all, thank you thank you thank you! Review if you like but don't feel obligated. I wrote because it was on my mind, but I do love hearing what readers think of my work. Thank you again, and I hoped you enjoyed it.
-Chuck-Sorry, I couldn't get 'bludgeon' in there. It was going to be a chapter title, but then I went Latin. I figured you'd be okay with it. Much love and thanks! ;-) -Corey-Thank you so much for all your support while I was writing this! I hope you liked it finally finished. Branding irons all the way!
