__________
At first, whenever Draco looks down his wand at a victim, he sees Dumbledore. And it takes everything he's got not to tremble.
Stupid fool. Thought he could work miracles. Thought he could offer me something the Dark Lord couldn't.
(Too little, too late.)
But hindsight, he knows, will get him killed.
So burying the memory of lost things, Draco hones his hatred until the diamonds in Dumbledore's eyes dull to opacity. Draco’s grateful for how it cuts, for what it bleeds from him.
When he feels the Mark burn, he knows he’s where he belongs. His aim is steady.
