Wow. This is awesome! (Sorry, that's like, so non-specific... it's my initial reaction to this story).
What a EXCELLENT interpretation of how a Death Eater becomes a DE. I really and thoroughly enjoyed this story! Very vivid and I felt like I was there. Highest praise I can offer.
I am not sure I would agree that Draco would ever come to terms in admitting calling himself to be a coward.... especially so soon, but the reflection of not finding the killings the glory he expected is very believable. The whole piece pulls it off well. Bravo!!

Chilling insight into Draco's character. He's a lot more self-reflective than I would have given him credit for, but I think it works. Definitely it makes him a sympathetic character, at least in this piece. Kind of reminds me of those old mob movies where you had the regretful wiseguy trying to redeem himself after a lifetime of crime, but the Family kept pulling him back in.
