Dumbledore would be dead and with him would go their only hope of defeating Voldemort. Salazar knew that Harry Potter was not a good plan B. Draco would need his own plan, in case things went awry. If he were fixing the cabinet regardless, could he not still pretend, as Snape was to be on the Dark Lord's side? Thus bringing him closer, to his inner circle where he could possibly be of more use. The summer and the meeting in his Aunt’s sitting room swam in his mind's eye and his stomach no longer clenched with panic. Instead, he felt resolution, bitter rage at being sequestered to such ridicule at the tip of the Dark Lords" wand. Draco would not be that weak man who crumbled on the floor any longer. He was one of the smartest people in their year and he had time and resources on his side. He would find a way to assist with the Dark Lord's demise, even if it killed him to do so - as he had said to Theo earlier, he was dead whichever way this unfolded.
