Potter was a coward, Potter was a fool. Potter had no idea what he was doing and Potter was going to lose. A blinding light, two wands tumbling through the air, and the lies Draco had believed since he got his first broom shattered into a thousand pieces.

The midday sun shone as bright on the defeated as on the victors. Draco shielded his eyes, seeing clearly at last. An uncertain future was better than none; failed Death Eaters got no second chances. He ought to be grateful to Potter, he supposed. Another day; for now, being alive was enough.

Oh, how sad.

[...] the lies Draco had believed since he got his first broom shattered into a thousand pieces.

Love that line.

So beautifully written! I loved the essence of this piece and Draco's sobering moment, his determined will to continue despite the uncertainty of his future. Lovely~
