<strong>Character:</strong>Draco Malfoy<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Safe House<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Neville<br/><br/>Draco let out a derisive snort when Neville mentioned being Harry's friend.  Once Neville finished, he responded.  "I didn't bully you early on because you were Harry's friend-you weren't, by the way; I bullied you because you were pathetic.  As you said, I went after the weak, and did so in every house, including my own.  And I agree...we should work together.<em>I'm</em>not the one trying to prevent that."<br/><br/>"And no, Longbottom, I am<em>not</em>my father's boy.  I haven't been since I saw how weak he was.  He is happy to remain as a lickspittle, grasping for scraps, something I decided against years ago...around the time Potter and four of his friends teamed up against just me and sucker-spelled me.  Keep that in mind about your noble leader."  It was clear he was still bitter over the incident.<br/><br/>"But since you insist, I shall address your concerns.  I am not spying for the Death Eaters, nor do I have any intention of alerting them to your whereabouts.  I highly doubt that the Dark Lord is even interested in spies.  Those that rank highest are the ones whose loyalty is least in doubt, and he is well beyond attempting behind the scenes sabotage and information gathering.  He wants all-out war.  Besides, I've been refining my views on the effect of blood.  I realized that when I noticed how delighted I was that Peter Pettigrew finally died."
