Draco stared at the bottom of his scotch glass, not remembering when he finished it.
After four sleepless nights, he had been having memory blackouts more and more often. The fire liquid that he consumed didn't help any, of course.
He couldn't understand it; after years of devoting himself to Potions research, he failed at the critical stage of a crucial potion. He could only say good-bye to his dream of becoming a Potions Master at age 20.
He's a disgrace to Malfoys everywhere. Meanwhile, Potter had become a hotshot Auror tracking down ex-Death Eaters in Europe. Draco frowned disconsolately.

This Draco's devoid of hope, unlike the Draco in
"People Like Us." I appreciate it precisely because I'm unlikely to write depressed!Draco. *takes out pom-poms*
Am definitely signing up for
remix_redux again next year :-D
