Draco's POV:
I gasped for breath, my heart pounding in my chest, as I sprinted into the forbidden forest. The adrenaline coursed through my veins, fueling my desperate escape. My body begged for respite, and I finally halted my run, leaning heavily against a towering tree. Collapsing to the ground, my knees drawn up to my chest.
A sharp pain throbbed in my cheek, a reminder of the recent altercation. However, I refused to succumb to tears. As a Malfoy, showing weakness was simply not an option. I let out a heavy sigh, resting my head upon my knees, feeling the weight of my supposed insignificance. My mind echoed with my father's words, reminding me of my perceived uselessness.
Tears threatened to spill from my eyes, but I willed them back, my determination overriding any hint of vulnerability. I took in a shaky breath, attempting to regain control of my emotions. No one could witness the big bad Slytherin prince, the embodiment of strength and power, crying. Not now, not ever.
