what if his life and Harry's life were both in danger and Hermione
came and saved them, I suppose that debt could cause him to resent her
more but it might also be the first step towards acceptance.

>So to sum it up, it would have to be a series of unfortunate events
for the young Malfoy and a series of serendipitous involvements from
those who he despises, but yes I think it could happen. Will it?
Probably not. But it could.

Wow, you *are* an optimist! <g>  Okay, let's walk down that path.  LV 
kills Lucius.  I think LV's supporters all know that's a very big 
risk they take when they follow the evil sucker.  I really don't 
think it would turn Draco into an LV hater (Since they all pretty 
much hate him anyway. They just follow him to gain whatever he can 
gain them.)  I'm sure he'd be upset, because they bizarrely seem to 
be a fairly close family (Narcissus wouldn't let Draco go to 
Durmstrang because she would miss her iddy Dracokins too much) but I 
don't think he'd snatch up his wand and go gunning for LV.  And 
frankly, the way he's been protrayed in the series, I think he'd 
rather die than be saved by Harry and/or Hermione.  Well, maybe not.  
Picture Draco hanging from a cliff by one hand; Harry reaches down to 
help him.  Does Draco let go?  No way, he's been shown to be a coward 
time and again, so he definitely wouldn't want to die.  He might even 
beg Harry to help him.  Harry, being Harry, helps him up.  Draco 
accepts his aid, recovers a bit, then turns Harry into a lemur and 
tells him he's a bloody imbecile for helping him.  "Should've let me 
die, stupid!"  Ha ha ha ha!

Nope, can't see Draco ever turning around.  Thank goodness.  I love 
the snotty little beast just the way he is.  Everyone needs an enemy 
to keep the blood pumping, don't you think?
