Draco sat at his vanity mirror, watching the enchanted brush smooth away any imperfections in his snowy blond hair.
He looked at a box across the room in longing, but quickly fixed himself in order to please his dad.
He needed to represent the Malfoy family properly. As one of the sacred 28. As the heir. And the heir couldn’t be a girl.
“Girls are weak Draco”. His dads words repeated in his head.
Sighing, Draco walked across the room and hoisted up the box onto his hip to gently place on his perfectly made bed.
“It’s fine.” he thought, “I’m going to Hogwarts next week anyways. I won’t get another chance to do this ever. Now or never”.
Taking a deep breath, Draco neatly arranged his makeup and jewelry which he got as a gift from his mom on his dresser.
Smiling brightly, the boy started to do his makeup. After he was done, Draco gasped in awe at his reflection.
He always knew he was really pretty for a boy after the endless teasing from his friends, but seeing it for himself was incredible.
His long eyelashes, pale skin, rosy cheeks, big eyes, and even his hair which reached just below his ears in soft waves.
Suddenly, a voice was heard from outside his bedroom door. “Dragon? Are you ready? The families are going to be here any minute baby”.
Draco scrambled around the room, scared. When his door opened, Draco stared at his mother with a guilty look on his face.
Narcissa looked at her son with awe in her eyes, that quickly turned to fright so she shut the door rapidly.
“You look beautiful, dragon, but you know what your dad will do if he finds out, right?” Draco nodded, tears welling up in his eyes which were adorned with perfect eyeliner.
“Oh honey. Come here”. Narcissa said, holding her son as tight as she could.
Narcissa pulled Draco back just enough so she could see his face.
“You are the most beautiful person in the world. But the issue is, not everyone can handle your beauty. So promise me dragon, the only people who can see your beauty are you, and I”, Narcissa said quietly.
Draco smiled softly at his mom, burying his face into her neck and holding the back of her dark green robes. “Okay. Now let’s clean you up darling”.
