Thank you! Poor Draco. Though my own mindset is (ideally; I don't have his energy or his self-sacrificing ethic) closer to Harry than Draco's, I agree with you about being in sympathy with him here. He's riding a roller-coaster of emotions just talking to Harry and being in the same room with him.

And yes. This chapter is number 6 in the original, number 9 here. There's so much thinking to write when dealing with the Malfoy POV.
