"But all those things you said to me."
"It was all just a mask Hermione," I told her, "I had to say those things. I had to, because..." I thought about all the excuses I gave my guilty self, "...because I can't love you."
"But you do."
Draco Malfoy is only sixteen, yet he faces a decision that will affect the rest of his life. Does he choose his beloved family on their path of darkness and destruction, or does he stand by the girl he has been infatuated with for six years? The decision haunts him every night the lights go out in his dungeon dormitory. Over the summer before Draco starts his sixth year at Hogwarts, The Dark Lord gave Draco a mission that if he fails to complete would result in his death. Torn and terrified, Draco reaches out to his favorite and most trusted teacher, Professor Snape, who he hopes will help guide him down the perilous road ahead. Will Draco be able to spare his own life as well as the mudblood Hermione Granger, or will lose them both?
