Prompt 25 : Balloon
Character(s) : Draco
Word Count : 100
Draco has always been jealous of the children he has seen playing with balloons. He knows it is unbecoming of a Malfoy to be jealous, let alone to be jealous of something as silly as a balloon, but those balloons are bright and cheerful—unlike the book that father hands him, and the girl holding them is cute and bubbly—unlike the other pureblood children father forces him to mingle with. He is almost about to ask for one himself as they cross her, childish desire getting the better of him, but then father glares at the girl with unmasked disgust. "Weasleys."
