You, Draco, are my greatest joy, and I failed you. I failed you. For that I am sorry. I am sorry that I chose the last possible moment to show courage and to make the right decision for our family and for the magical world, and most importantly, for you. I should have set a better example. I should have been a better father. I never should have let that monster mark you. I should have been there. My job as a father was to protect you, but instead I put you in harm’s way time and time again.
