I know I should be thinking about Dumbledore and the emptiness I am feeling at the moment, but for some reason, my thoughts are stuck on Malfoy. His situation is worse than mine. At least I have a choice to pick which side I fight for. And Malfoy? He was forced to be on Voldemort's side. Sure he was arrogant, but he does not deserve this. Just because his parents were on the wrong side, he is forced to fight for Voldemort. How does that even make sense?
I cannot forget the expression on his pale face when we were at the astronomy tower. He was so terrified and torn. He knew he had to kill Dumbledore, or else he would not survive Voldemort's wrath. Yet he couldn't, less because he was incapable than because he was more humane than his fellow death eaters. His life and his father's were at stake. It was painful to watch Malfoy's struggle.
I cannot believe I was so intent on discovering what Malfoy was up to. I have to admit that I was slightly excited at the thought of being able to expose Malfoy, the new death eater that has joined Voldemort's ranks. I do not know what I was thinking. Now, realising the hardships Malfoy was actually facing, I cannot help but feel sorry for Malfoy. In one significant moment, our past enmity is forgotten.
