I like that Draco realized that he had not spoken in his own words, and that he might have formulated it a little differently had he not been so terrified. And I also like very much that Andromeda comes across a warm and friendly, as someone whom Draco desperately needs. The poor boy seems not to have had much love in his life so far.

I agree with Jae, that breakdown was overdue and now maybe Draco can start to figure out where HE wants to go in life.

Thank you very much for this installment.
