drabble: bitchy - draco

[bitchy] - draco
part of dorrito's every flavour mood beans.

There is no other way for him to be.

They have him surrounded. They attack through professors and students, though the papers, through threats to his mother. They can strike openly; with his father in Azkaban he shines even brighter, an obvious and politically advantageous mark. There is always time now to mock the Malfoys. It clarifies which side you are on.

He tries to tear them down, spiteful, malicious. He was never much with his fists and his magic is under constant surveillance, and so he fires poisoned arrows, words with teeth.

They have made him who he is.

oh, love it!
Are you sure you're not in love with Draco? *poke*
just checking. ;)

The second last line about the way he's forced to retaliate is amazing.

Dude. I *love* this. And you're telling me you don't like to write Draco? No way, man. This is amazing.

this is really good! I really love the idea and I really like this. Unfortunately having deconstructed Joyce for a few hours I cannot tell you why. I just really like it.

Wow.

I ran out of words after that one. Dayum.

Huh. Draco strongly reminds me of the South here. :D

I loved it.

Loved it :)

Aside from the brilliance and artistry of the writing, this drabble is brilliant for taking bitchy and Draco in such a different direction than the obvious (of him being a bitch). Fab!

you're going to get tired of hearing me say that you really, really know how to start and end a drabble. but you do. your words always have the right kind of weight, somehow.

and There is always time now to mock the Malfoys. It clarifies which side you are on. is a really brilliant statement.

Ah, I am very much enjoying all of these drabbles.

On an entirely unrealted note... are your emotions Queer As Folk? And if they are, where did you find them, and where can I get my hands on them? ^_^ QAF has stolen my soul. XD
