Yes, I suppose you're right. About Justin, I mean. What an odd thing to ponder, though.
That's interesting, about the 400 some days ago. I had forgotten that you asked me about his jerking away from you. You were showing him how to do the wand movement, weren't you? I suppose it must have been around then that he started to think of you differently.
This isn't legilimency, just a guess, but maybe he thinks he needs to do something deserving of tenderness before he can allow himself to have it. He's so fanatical about infiltrating the council and acts as if he wants to be the one to kill Voldemort with his own two hands. Voldemort didn't even do that much to him, comparatively speaking, but Draco acts as if he did. Do you reckon maybe Draco thinks he would have been a different person if Voldemort had never risen to power? That he would have started out seeing muggleborns as no different, for starters.
But if you don't feel that way about him, and he knows it already, then what happens next? Do you think you can go back to being friends, or whatever it is you were?
By the way, if I had known that Justin was a secret muggleborn when he was showing interest in me, I probably would have assumed he was just getting close to me because it would be a secret thrill to sully the daughter of Auror Lestrange; a goal, as you might say. Which wasn't at all true, of course, but that probably would have been my assumption.
