Glorianna Malfoy, so named due to her batty father’s obsession with a Muggle queen. <- Ahahaha, great use of Pottermore information! :)

Thanks! The Queen Elizabeth I - Lucius Malfoy I connection is one of my favorite things about Pottermore.

Really original fic--I've never seen anything like it! I particularly loved the interaction between Draco and Dumbledore. Great job! :)

Nice to see Dumbledore is still meddling in a good way from beyond the grave. :)

>>>“Potter has experience is making the right choices and being surrounded by people who do the same. Not everyone’s going to have that. Not everyone is going to be so overwhelmed by the hero worship they’ll ignore everything else in their life to follow Saint Potter. Most of the old families are as comfortable with the Dark Arts as he is with Expelliarmus and one war isn’t going to change that. Ignoring it only creates a vacuum for someone else to fill,” >>>

That one paragraph just says it all doesn't it? Well written. Well done. I'm glad Albalark recced this fest on her Live Journal or I never would have known to wander over.

Ah, I do like seeing Draco start to come our from the shadow of his father, and his past, and begin to become his own person. His point that he offers a different perspective from "St. Potter" is well taken.

In the wee hours of the morning his plan had seemed so simple yet so brilliant that he had marveled that he hadn't attempted it before.

Famous last words: "It seemed like a good idea at the time,,,"

when he died they would enlarge his tombstone so it could read, “Here lies Draco Malfoy: a minor nuisance in Saint Potter's life, a thoroughly mediocre Seeker for Slytherin, and failed Death Eater.”

*snort* The last tinge of self-pity vents itself...

“I need to do something, all right?” he twisted in his chair to face Dumbledore. “I need to do something so people don’t just think of the Dark Lord when they hear the name Malfoy.”

...and now he's ready to move on.

Well done, Mystery Author -- a difficult vignette in Draco's life well told.
