Crabbe and Goyle followed Draco around like he was a king. They worshiped his every move, fulfilled his every wish, laughed at every joke, and Draco liked it. The power flowed through his veins, but he wanted more. Malfoy desired to control the whole Slytherin house, the whole Hogwarts school, heck... he want to control the world. He thought there was only one way to do that. Draco followed Voldemort around like Crabbe and Goyle followed him. Voldemort promised to give him more power if he fulfilled this one task... one task. Malfoy had to succeed, he needed power, thirsted for it. The stress of having to succeed broke him, made him weak, vulnerable. Dumbeldore needed to die, and fast. He planned for days... worked hard... and for what? Snape's glory. Draco has failed. Through all this power seeking, Draco realized, he didn't want it. He wanted to be free. Free from his parents pressure, free from the images he needs to keep up, and he succeeded in that. He succeeded in what was important to him.
