Something about this just kills me. In the first you have this boy who, even though he puts up this wall of arrogance, feels everything. He feels terrified, and shows it, he gets angry, and shows it, every emotion; he has a hard time holding back anything he thinks or feels.

Then you have him older, and he’s all but numb; indifferent to everything happening around him. I’m sure he’s still scared, still feels, but he doesn’t want to. Its like he’s purposefully numbing himself because of the pain and negative emotions he’s been run over with time and time again. 

In truth I feel so sorry for Draco. Thats why I could never bring myself to hate him, even though for so long I couldn’t stand him. He felt, he trusted, he believed, he believed in his family and that they only had his best interests at heart.

To see that little boy, so full of any and every kind of life, turn into someone who just doesn’t want to care anymore, and to an extent doesn’t care anymore it just… it breaks my heart.
