Reason for Imprisonment: Blood Traitors

For Shuna

.

She was the reason why I'm here.

Not my participation in the Dark Side, oh no, I paid my way out of that sentence all too quickly. A couple of false alibis and some intimidation had gotten me out of that mess almost unscathed. My fortune was still intact, my family's reputation untainted and unblemished.

Unfortunately, she and her muddy blood destroyed my wonderful plan for the rest of my life. As that Granger girl filled my sons head with romance and love, it was as if she had singlehandedly ripped my family from me.

I was skeletal before I got here, to Azkaban. The presence of her in my life was just too much for me to stomach eating. How could I savor the delectable delicacies in front of me, while I had a mudblood sitting next to my son, amicably discussing the latest gossip with my wife?

And after a good year of torture, when I couldn't stand it any longer, I feebly walked to the room she occupied in my home, cane resounding on the cold marble floors of my home. I didn't feel anything when she awoke and found she couldn't scream from the silencing charm. I wasn't sympathetic when her eyes showed that she had just stopped fighting. I watched in victory as her soul leave her body.

Draco never did forgive me for killing her before he committed suicide to "be with her". And for that, I never really cared. The first day he brought her back to the house with him, I no longer was looking upon my son, but instead, a stranger.

They say I've gone mental, here in Azkaban, and that it was about time. My only comfort was my words on my three walls, surrounding me. I could gaze out my small window, into black abyss, as much as my heart's content, but nothing gave me more joy then to fall asleep to the words my almost senile self had etched repeatedly on the walls.

Traitors.

They were all traitors.

Author's note.

I really have absolutely no idea where this came from. I'm quite literally at a friend's house writing this while she's sleeping. I mean, I saw the avatar that was my prompt, and this just came to mind. I've never written anything like this before, nothing at all. Most of my stuff is light, and cute, and humorous. So please, constructive criticism is much appreciated (but a couple kind words would be nice…).

And also, I'm sorry for my lack of updates. I actually sent fallingstar then next Sixteen Candles update, and I was going to work on an update for Hogwarts is Still a High School, when I checked my email and found this. Again, I have no idea where this idea came from.

Requestor: Shuna

Prompt: Her avatar of Lucius Malfoy.
