Oh, I loved this a great deal! I've either seen that discussion before too, or I've seen one very similar to it, but I remember it made me think a lot: because I did have to admit that bravery in HP seems to count for a lot, especially with Harry -- but there were a lot of things Draco has done throughout the series, and even during the war, that just struck me as omg, that's ridiculously brave, in a way that I know I could never be. It's really much harder to be brave when you're frozen in terror and almost completely certain that you'll be suffering if you jump -- this isn't often acknowledged in the HP series, but if you jump anyway, that makes one ridiculously brave, and that's what I saw in Draco -- and so I'm really really glad you wrote this :)
