Even if Draco did know that his mum loved him dearly, it still felt nice to know that other people was able to see that as well. It made him smile softly, remembering his times with his mum fondly, even if their relationship had grown slightly strained over the years.<br/>“She is an extraordinary occlumens,” Draco stated, not wanting to comment on how much his mother loved him. He knew only his mum to be able to lie directly to the Dark Lord, and while he had managed to keep things hidden as well, he was nowhere near as skilled as his mum.<br/>“Did you know that she made Professor Snape make an unbreakable vow with her? To protect me,” he added, finding it less intimate to talk about these things when he couldn’t see Harry’s face.
