This is so perfectly Draco--I'm just sitting here shouting, yes, yes with every word because that's so how it happened. Without a doubt.
And Snape? He would so do that for Draco. *squees* I love how he gets Draco to snap out of it--how he protects him that way because, yes, he couldn't go in front of the Dark Lord without that Malfoy arrogance protecting him.
And Draco's last thought being for his family...oh, God, yes.
SO MUCH LOVE. *hugs you hard*
This is gorgeous and beautiful and GAH! I have to go read it again. Right now. Thank you so much, hon.
