A/N: Just taking a quick break from my mad fest-writing spree. Couldn’t resist. Sorry for the sad tone…


Draco had always thought the suggestion rain was God’s way of mourning someone was overly sentimental.

But the day his mother was placed in the family crypt, the skies opened up in a great thunderstorm that echoed the pain in his heart. Long after the others had apparated away, Draco stood, his eyes closed, tears and rain mingled on his face, his face turned into the fury of the storm.

He cried until there was nothing left to cry, then let the rain wash his face clean before apparating home to face life once more—this time without his mother.
