Took you long enough, Harry Potter. Ohh excitement! Poor Draco. I'm not sure why I feel sympathy for him just yet, or why I feel none for Harry. If Harry really wanted Draco to leave him alone, there are plenty of things he could say to make it happen.

“He wanted to taste that special pain that comes on the brink of death. He didn’t think about what would come after that, so it wasn’t a wish to leave life behind. He didn’t want to make people sorry he was gone. He didn’t want to die because of some overwhelming sorrow in his life. It was—that taste of sensation. Nothing else.”

Honestly, that was amazing. Poor D'Anna.
