Draco Malfoy has failed. Dumbledore is dead, but not by his hand. Now, after fleeing from Hogwarts with the triumphant Death Eaters, he must confront his own emotions - as well as his aunt Bellatrix and the Dark Lord himself.
Draco's world is changing rapidly. With his father in prison, the Malfoys are in disgrace. Now, Bellatrix reveals a chance for them to reclaim their honor - and for Draco to take his father's place in circle of the Dark Lord.
Desperate for even an hour of solitude, Draco ignores his pride and seeks refuge in the second-floor girl's bathroom, and the pressure of his impossible assignment leads him to confide in the last person he would ever expect - Moaning Myrtle.
