Poor Draco

I think that if you can hold in a scream for so long under the Crucio curse you are not worthless. You're just as strong as everyone else, if not stronger. You couldn't kill Dumbledore, because you're not a killer, because you knew deep down that even if you did kill him Voldemort would have killed you and your family anyway at some point. You let Harry go because you knew that what would have happened wasn't right. You're not worthless, you're just afraid, and that's nothing to be ashamed of.

Quite honestly, this is the first time I've ever seen Draco in a realistic light in a canon-universe fic. He's not wearing his leather pants, he's not evil...he's just a teenager who has grown into terrible circumstances and has no way to escape. I applaud you. :)

Very insightful. It fits the scene perfectly. Keep writing
