You've gotten everything once again! But I especially like your new bit about Blaise and how he suddenly sees how deeply the weaving has gone between Harry and Draco, and how he never really compared in the end. And if it's the last thing he does, he will protect what holds Draco together, even if it means giving him up. I think Blaise is not so selfish as he is often portrayed. Just cunning, and keen. I had not seen Blaise's actions in the way you describe here, but you are right, absolutely. I love this interpretation.
That Draco spent that night, what could be the very last night, asking for what he thought Harry wanted...it just kills me. The trial. Oh Rerun, the trial. That Draco knows every little thing Harry does, every movement, every blink, every intake of breath. That Harry is his entire world, I just love that.
Right again. Of course. Harry is his everything. His life revolves around Harry, though perhaps the object of his affections does not necessarily know that all the time. He justs wants to be near him and he is afraid that if he asks for something different, he won't get that chance.
This image is so clear in my head, Draco slumped against the wall, Harry dropping before him and trying to lift him, to move him to the bed, because Draco's just on the floor and fell asleep there like he couldn't stand the thought of the bed. And not being able to. Yet not able to bring himself to be anywhere but at Draco's side.
YES. It goes both ways. I do kind of wish I could see this scene from Harry's POV, because I think he sees what he is doing to his lover, and wants to correct it, but has no idea how. What he doesn't know is that just being beside him is helping more than anything.
Thank you sooooo much, Lilo! I'm glad you liked it this much. You always leave me such wonderful reviews... You have made my morning so bright. *kiss* Thank you for this account, for beta-ing on a whim, for just being a wonderful person.
