Drabble Challenge: Belief

[Hedwig]

Hello my lovely drabblers,

I apologize for the lateness of this week and last week's new contests. Your entries will still be due on Wednesday, and I will still post a new one on Wednesday.

Also! For the next two weeks (so from now until September 1st) please be sure to make lots of prompt suggestions, because from now on any prompts used that were posted within that time frame will be worth 15 points each! That's 3x what they're normally worth! These little things can really add up

And now....

This week your prompt is: Belief (thanks to carma for the suggestion!)

Remember to write exactly 100 words - no more, no less, keep your drabbles PG-13, spell-check before you post, and ensure that your drabbles take place in the HP Universe, though they may be as AU as you want.

Good luck!

Lily Evans had always firmly believed what when a person said no, they meant no. She also believed that once a person said something, it was impossible to take it back. But every once in a while, a person’s beliefs get tested. Today was that day. First, a person who she had thought was her best friend completely betrayed her, and then she had to deal with James Potter. She was so wrong when she though he couldn’t get anymore annoying. But then he had to go and do nice things. Things that made her rethink what she had believed.

Draco Malfoy was a Pureblood, and Purebloods were better than everyone. That was what he was taught. But as he grew, and met the Muggleborn, Hermione Granger, he realized his parents were wrong. Growing up, his parents had told him that Mudbloods and Blood Traitors were the dirt under a Pureblood's feet, that they were weak. But his parents were wrong. Hermione Granger proved that. She was strong, independent, and powerful. She was kind, generous, and caring. She fought for what she thought was right. She was an equal. That was Draco Malfoy’s belief. And nothing, nobody, would change that.

He lost everything, everything He had once believed in. He loved Lily. He believed in her. He had believed that Dumbledore would protect Her, protect them. But Lily's gone. Her smile She would once always give Him. Her laughter, Her happiness...He had believed in Dumbledore. Dumbledore had said He must protect The Boy. The Boy has his mother's eyes... He believed He was doing the right thing, risking His life to protect what She had sacrificed for. But once again, His belief was ruined. The Boy had to die! The Boy has his mother's eyes...his mother's eyes...

His entire life was in shambles. The love of his life was dead, he was sword to protect his worst enemy’s brat, and now he was being manipulated by an old man who now controlled him. And it was all because of the stupid belief that Slytherins and Purebloods were better than everyone else. He’d learned his lesson though. He wouldn’t believe anything anyone told him anymore. From now on, he was on his own. He would believe his own thoughts and no one else’s. Not after he’d had he faith and hopes dashed by those he cared for most.

Sorry I'm late! If you haven't started judging, can I still post my drabble? I wrote it, then forgot to save it so I had to write it all over again! But it's ok if you dont count it, I am late...

“He can’t complete this task, Lucius.”

“Is that an excuse for not believing he can?”

“You want our son to be a murderer?!”

“No, but he needs to become one to serve the Lord.”

“Do you believe in him because he’s our son- because he would kill to be like you- or because he needs to stay alive to serve the Lord?”

“Believing in someone is not a choice; it’s a necessity which allows one to convince oneself there’s still hope. One only chooses who one believes in, and I chose our son. Don’t accuse me of being at fault.”

I've only written dialogue, hope that's ok =)
