This was a very interesting take on Draco. I always thought the Malfoys probably didn't want the return of Voldemort to actually happen, although they would try to get the most advantageous position out of it. And Draco probably would think of it in terms of survival and then cover it up with sarcasm and bravado.
I liked how you gave Draco the same form of escapism as Harry always had - flying and playing Quidditch.
And this last is a general musing not a picky comment: would Draco (and the magical world in general) think in terms of "left-wing" politics? That's a direct result of the seating arrangements in the House of Commons so would it mean anything outside the muggle world? Liberal has a meaning outside of parliament so that is a different matter. The sentiment (how Draco thinks of Hermione's political views) is right, I'm just wondering about the terminology. Don't feel you have to justify yourself, I'm just wondering!
I enjoyed the story. I was wondering who exactly has been thinking about counting Charlie's freckles!
