Dumbledore has just been killed and Draco is brought before the Dark Lord. What is this boy's fate? Two part fic by request. Rated for torture, blood, and mild language. Dark fic. Repost for errors

There are many paths we can take in life, most times decided by a single choice, but it's never too late to change. A look into how the events of the Final Battle can lead to a different choice for Draco with a little help from Luna. She turned around and gave him a smile as she continued to run backward. "Choose to be one of us tonight."

It's been months since the final battle and the world is still dealing with the aftermath. Could a chance meeting with an old foe when heading to his Auror interview change his mind about the man? My take on what lead to the nod in the Epilogue. No slash.
