He'd poured hot water over twice used bags to make the tea, and there was no milk or sugar to be had, and the spell he used to make the toast had been too strong, so it was burnt, and there was only margarine anyway.

Later, the others would wake up and there would be plans and shouting and then they'd go out to fight or defend, and he'd shout curses and hexes at people he used to call friend - and sometimes that wasn't even a lie, while his own side watched him.

For now, Draco ate his breakfast..

[mamadeb]

Thank you!

[celandineb]

That's so evocative of wartime, that breakfast -- and of Draco's likely culinary abilities, too. Lovely.

[mamadeb]

Thank you - that was my intention.

[merrycontrary]

Very nicely handled.

[mamadeb]

Thank you! Draco needs these moments.

[mamadeb]

He needs hugs, doesn't he? Poor kid.

[bethbethbeth]

An all too believable moment...well done.

[mamadeb]

Thank you so much!

[amanuensis1]

I'm about to cry. Oh.

[mamadeb]

Oh. Wow. Thank you!

[medawyn]

Beautiful - you captured so much in such a few words. Thanks!

[mamadeb]

I am *so* glad you liked it. I hope it was what yo were hoping for.

I love this line in particular, because it shows that Draco is aware of what his choices have cost him - and that the side he's chosen doesn't entirely trust him.

Very nicely done.
