Exactly. It's all about the struggle with Harry and Draco, the need to understand, but the unwillingness to risk what little comfort they are giving to each other. I wanted to portray that extra step at the end, when the real connection is made and they let go and break down their own walls to let the other in fully. The real risk has been shown to Harry and Draco here, that they could actually lose each other through no fault of their own, and it puts things into perspective at last. Thank you for this review. I love that the story affected you this way, and to such depths! I am speechless and blushing, and I adore you. *hugs*
