Dark
Title: No One Was Safe Anymore
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Adrian Pucey
Prompt: #74 Dark
Word Count: 398
Rating: PG I guess
Summary: Adrian is aware that he has lost an ally
Author's Notes: No speaking or much action, just a little drabble in Adrian's thoughts.
-----
He leaned back against the brick wall, breathing heavily and barely noticing the jolt of pain when his head had hit it. Closing his eyes, he took in a shuddering
breath before letting out a long sigh. As a little kid he was never afraid of the dark, his father would've been angry for having to be bothered with something so
trivial and he knew that what his father would do while angry was much more frightening than any imaginary monster he might have feared.
Now, though, he was terrified. Ever since Dumbledore's funeral, Adrian had to be careful once he left the safety of his shop. It wasn't safe to walk in the dark anymore. The shadows burned in the dark and the footsteps that lingered after his would make his nerves stand on edge. The whispers offered comfort but he knew better than to keep any for himself.
What scared him most was that he had once trusted the dark. The dark was where he could hide away, in his closet when his mother and father had a row. Behind a statue at school if he had wanted a walk after curfew. In the Forbidden Forest he had considered the dark to be an ally. He wanted the dark to be something he could use as an advantage again. As a Slytherin it should've been easy but they were after him. All of them knew Adrian wasn't a Death Eater, his father wasn't happy about that. Bullocks to what he does or doesn't like, Adrian though bitterly. Old classmates would corner him in the dark. They warned him to not refuse the "Dark Lord" any longer. He knew they were not idle threats, there was no doubt left anymore as the dark turned against him.
The dark no longer seemed real. He was second guessing himself, something he hadn't done in a while and was no longer accustomed to. These were dangerous times no matter how hard he tried to become invisible. Adrian had tried to distance himself from the good and bad break, but it seemed he would be forced to one or the other soon. As the shadows seemed to suffocate him, it was clear to him that the dark had turned its back on him. No one was safe anymore if you couldn't hide in the dark.
