A very happy birthday story for the lovely Berry!

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has seen countless students come and go through it's halls, some stepping into the wizarding world known by name because of deeds or family. But countless more go through their years unknown and unseen, left to carve out for themselves a place in that world. This is the story of one of those students. (For The Golden Snitch forum prompt)

When Draco looked in the mirror of cracked glass he never saw the proud Malfoy he should have been staring back at him, a death eater with the strength to fulfill his duties. He saw a broken boy, and he saw a coward.

Through all that Harry had faced so far in his time at Hogwarts, through the pain and the loss he had always believed that if anything were to push him past his limits in day to day life it would be another death he hadn't been able to stop, or a betrayal from someone he trusted. He had never anticipated that it would simply be his name.
