the moment Harry knows it isn't worth it, there'll be no point for him to go back to Draco at all.
I absolutely agree. And I think they are both fighting the arrival of that moment with everything they have.
Draco is so right about how Harry tried to excuse himself with his remark about if it's "worth it" to remain faithful!
The thing I find most interesting about good infidelity stories is that the infidelity is often about a whole slew of things compacted on top of each other, and rarely about any one event. Often one event is used as the catalyst, and the reasoning, but it's never really about just one thing. I think Draco has plenty of responsibility in the rift between them, which makes it so sad that Harry feels he's reached this point, but it also does not excuse Harry's actions, that's for sure.
Thank you so much for your thought-provoking comment!
