“You love Granger, Baddock loves Chang and I love Ginny. Denial is not a pretty facial feature, Draco- I’m your best mate, I know you. God, do you really think running away from her will save you?” Did he have to repeat all he said to Baddock?
“Look, be with her. There’s not a sure chance that we’re going to live after this war, okay? You need to help them win on the good side. The more chance they have of winning- the more chance she has of living, haven’t you thought about that?”
“I’m not thinking about me, you dunce,” he rolls his eyes. “I’m thinking about her. And yeah you’re right, helping the good side win would save her. But it’s not that simple. It’s different for you, because your parents weren’t so involved. My parents are right in the center. I can’t just turn my back on them. He’ll kill them, because of me. So I do what I have to to them all of them alive. At this point, I don’t give a shit about me…” he thinks for a second and his eyes flash. “Is there something you’re trying to tell me? Like you’ve jumped ships and joined the other side?”
“Then why aren’t you with her right now, mate?”
He sighs. “The way I see it, that kind of pain is not worth the few moments of happiness we’d get.”
