Author's Note:
Hope you like this. The lyrics are in italics, and the normal type in between are little bits of Draco's life.


I'm an angel

"I don't know what Blaise is talking about, Professor," Draco said. "I never pushed anyone out the second floor window."

I'm a devil

"The good guys never actually win," Draco sneered. "They just think they do. Evil is so much better."

I am sometimes in between

"I love you, Mummy," Draco said, grabbing a cookie from the forbidden desserts-table and running off.

I'm as bad as it can get

"You filthy little Mudblood," Draco snarled. "Go back to the old slop you came from."

And as good as it can be

"You complete me, Ginny," Draco said softly into her ear.

Sometimes I'm a million colors

Sometimes I'm black and white

I am all extremes

Try to figure me out?

"I wish I could understand you, Draco," Ginny murmured, shaking her head. "What's really wrong?"

You never can

"I give up!" Ginny screamed.

There's so many things I am

I am special

"And the award for best malicious smirk goes to... Draco Malfoy, age nine!"

I am beautiful

"I look absolutely stunning," Draco muttered to himself in front of the mirror.

I am wonderful and powerful

Unstoppable

"You'll never defeat me!" Ten-year-old Draco shouted to his Kill Harry Potter pinup his father bought him.

Sometimes I'm miserable

Draco threw himself down on the bed and buried his face in the pillow.

Sometimes I'm pitiful

Ginny found Draco outside in the rain, covered in mud. He tried to kick a tree stump angrily and tripped.

But that's so typical of all the things I am

I'm someone filled with self-belief

"I am better than you," he said, throwing Cedric a filthy look. "And I can definitely beat you at Quidditch any time."

And haunted by self-doubt

Draco was afraid he'd not get enough Owls to please his father.

I got all the answers

Draco had gained Slytherin thirty points in Herbology that day.

I've got nothing figured out

Breathing heavily, Draco threw his fifth crumpled sheet of parchment into the fire.

I like to be by myself

"Go away, Crabbe, you stupid lumbering git."

I hate to be alone

"Goyle! Come back. I need some company - just don't talk. And when I say don't talk I also mean no sign language or grunting or any other forms of speech."

I'm up and I am down
But that's part of the thrill

Part of the plan

Part of all of the things I am

I'm Draco Malfoy. I'm compassionate, disinterested, humble, vain, a leader, a follower, kind, cruel, honest, a liar, ugly, beautiful, funny, serious, smart, like Crabbe and Goyle when it comes to brains, sharp-eyed, oblivious, childish, loving, hating, and every other adjective in this universe. And maybe in the alternate universes as well.

I am completely unique in my own way. People love me, and people despise me. And I don't really care.

I mean, just because some people don't fully understand ho wonderful I am doesn't mean I should cry about it. There's always someone out there who doesn't like you. I happen to have a lot of those people. But, or so I've heard, for every person who doesn't like you, there's a much larger amount of people who do.

So I'm sure that, somewhere out there, a whole planet of people think I'm awesome.


Author notes: Please review, and I hope you liked it. I basically wrote it because I had just heard hat song, and for some reason it reminded me of Draco, and I was in a very Draco's-great mood. The beginning and end were written at different times, so probably they sound different. I tried to put some slight humor in, if you noticed.
