You know, in all the years I've been attending Hogwarts, I never really thought I would get this sort of feeling.

That cruel git of a boy has been the one thing I've thought about constantly since Dumbledore's death. He's the one person in my thoughts through all of this, and now I know why.

Although he seems to be so callus and mean, there is something about him… I know he has a good heart. I know that deep down he really does care about other people, even if his actions would try to prove otherwise.

My friends are so ready and willing to kill him, but I can't say that's right and I can't tell them I'll help. Nothing would be gained by shedding his blood, it wouldn't bring Dumbledore back and it won't stop Voldermort.

The young man deserves to live, just like everyone else does. No one deserves to die because they made a mistake, and no one has the right to kill someone else, for any reason.

If there is any way possible for me to stop it, I won't let him die.

Heh, he's even changed me in a way. Before all this I never would have spoken Voldermort's name, but he made me realize that I was stupid to call him 'He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.'

Voldermort isn't some all powerful demi-god. He's a wizard just like the rest of us, and my classmate proved that to me. If he had to use a school-aged kid in his grand plan for world domination, then Voldermort isn't nearly as mighty as people think.

He's also the first person to make me disagree with my friends. I know Harry and Ron have been there with me through a lot, just like I've been there with them, but sometimes a girl has to think on her own. He's the one who showed me that right now is definitely one of those times.

He's taught me a lot this spring, without evenknowing it. Through Harry's account of the story, he had disarmed Dumbledore and could have killed the professor easily, but he didn't. Even if no one else believes that makes him a decent person, I do.

He didn't kill. Although Voldermort had commanded him to do it or loose his life, he didn't. He did not kill. He's not a murderer.

I believe that Draco Malfoy is good and caring; I believe it with all my heart. Wherever he is out there, he has all of my luck, and he has all of my love.


Well, this is my first attempt at a drabble-ly type thing, and I could really use feedback. Read and Review, please!
