"I love you. You know this. But they're just words. They're beautiful, but they're not warm enough to keep out the cold." The rain beat against the window of the classroom, and lightning struck nearby. The thunder followed in an instant. "You're right," he said. "It's not enough. But it's a start, isn't it?"

"The Muggles overcame us by sheer numbers. Well, it was mostly the numbers. Their weapons helped, too.

"Do you ever get the feeling something is about to go wrong? Not something magical, just sort of an ominous weight in your chest that this might be the last time you're happy?"

You start with two hands, like every clock, but yours swing at random, and you know the information is more pertinent. You don't need twelve different places to be, and what are ones and sixes but numbers? Those numbers never stay the same and a clock in Australia would show completely different numbers. You didn't see the point of that. Numbers were arbitrary.

"What the hell is he doing here? I peer over the aisles between us. Shampoo. Severus Snape chose today to buy himself some shampoo. It figures.

Well… you stopped writing me.

I don't know what to do with myself, having conversations about feelings and not power. Being treated like a person. I also don't know how to answer him, because I don't know what the feeling inside my stomach is when I look at Blaise, but it's something I've never felt for Draco.
