drabble: bouncy - draco

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

They had thought him only bitter words, nothing to fear, and so they had turned away. He tried proving them wrong, throwing curses as their laughter faded, until suddenly he was changed, small and terrified, flung from floor to ceiling and back. It continued for years or mere moments, and then he was lying on the cold stone under their burning stares.

He pulled himself to his feet, though his body was racked with pain. It was a miracle that nothing had broken, wizard blood notwithstanding. He submitted to Moody's authority begrudgingly.

He is resilient. They shall not break him.

Wow. I'm blown away here. What an absolutely perfect take on this scene. This is why I'm interested in Draco. This is what makes him worth writing, in my opinion. What makes him who he is? Oh, I just love this! I do I do!

this calls up a distant memory of another fic... i can't remember which. but it's the only other time i can remember seeing this scene from draco's pov. the way you write it absolutely breaks my heart.

You're really engaging the canon Draco in interesting ways. I like this Drabble a lot. The language has a perfect balance of show and tell and the rhythm matches the scene exactly. I'm not quite as comfortable with the change of tense, but then, that's the deal with art. Thanks for sharing anoth fab drabble, Luv. :)

*smooch*

How much do I love this? A....LOT!
I can just hear Draco hissing the idea of last line to himself.

Lovely drabble!

OH!

Wow.

I love that moment in the book, from all an any angles. And this is so lovely, and wonderful, and yay it gets across the quickness of it all; it happened so fast and he's so determined not to let them get to him. Wonderful Draco there. :)
