A.N. This is just something that came to my head while I was drawing. Also, the reason that I haven't updated in a long time is because I was sick and in the hospital. Like last year, I probably won't be updating for a while more because I have to catch up and make up the work I missed. So as soon as I'm a little less stressed, I'll do what I can. Enjoy!

Casual Redemption

Why are you here, Mr. Malfoy?

To fight, sir.

You are traitor, Mr. Malfoy. You are not needed nor are you wanted.

I could say the same to you, sir.

Go back, Mr. Malfoy. Run and live.

I can't do that, sir.

You will die otherwise.

I know, sir.

Yet you fight.

Yes, sir.

You have no allies, Mr. Malfoy. No side will hesitate to kill you.

I know. But I have you, sir.

Do you really, Mr. Malfoy? I will die. Then what will you do?

I will fight, sir.

Fight what, Mr. Malfoy? You have nothing to fight for!

I will fight the war, sir.

But why, Mr. Malfoy? Why put yourself in danger? Why risk it?

Because I want to, sir.

You are spoilt, Mr. Malfoy. Too used to getting your own way.

You've told me so many times, sir.

You realize you'll have to go into hiding after the war.

I would have had to anyway, sir.

But where will you go?

I'm not sure, sir. My guess is hell.

Look around you, Mr. Malfoy. What would you call this?

Purgatory.

Purgatory?

Yes, sir.

Go home, boy.

I have none…sir. I can only fight.

What are you fighting for, Draco. You have nothing to gain, but everything to lose.

It's the same for you, sir. But we fight for the same reason.

And what would those reasons be?

The casualties…

…and redemption.
