Wow! Thank you for this wonderful and detailed feedback.
Sorry about the no hope business, but one of the reasons, I suppose, why wartime romances are so urgent is that they are haunted by the very real possibility of loss, loss that can happen at any time. I wanted to take that possibility seriously here.
You pull it off because you stay inside Harry's pov and Harry thinks the light is playing on Malfoy, heating him and showing him off to Harry, when, of course, it is Malfoy who is using the light to best advantage.
Ooooh, I'm so glad this came through for you! Yes, I think Draco is very aware of what he looks like; he may or may not be vain (Harry doesn't know him well enough here to be privy to that), but surely any Slytherin worth his salt would be ready to use the tools that came to hand, so to speak. And I'm very glad this came through without being said; over-explanation is my cardinal sin as a fiction writer and I'm desperately trying to squiggle out of that very bad habit.
Thank you again for your kind comment; it means a great deal to me. :)
