Summary: Draco's mission takes a heavy toll.
Draco paced outside the Room of Requirement until a door appeared and admitted him. Walking into the room, he glimpsed his reflection in a dusty old mirror. He was pale and drawn, with dark circles under dull eyes. The stress of his mission was taking its toll on him.
Squaring his shoulders, Draco made his way to the Vanishing Cabinet. He tinkered with it some more, determined to succeed. When this attempt resulted in yet another failure, Draco banged his fist on the Cabinet and stifled a sob of frustration.
He was at his wit's end, and time was running out.
