Yes, Draco is being unhelpfully protective of Severus, but I think it's important for both Slytherins to have each other's backs. Harry is going to have to find another way to reach Sev. He'll do it, too. He's way too stubborn to give up now, so... let's see what happens next.

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review, my friend. Your lovely comment meant the world to me.
