Dolores felt her eyes well up with tears. "What are you saying?"
"Molly, she's special and—" Arthur started, but he was soon interrupted.
"I'm special!" Dolores exploded. "You told me you loved me. Was that a lie?"
Arthur shook his head gravely. "Dolores, I know I'm hurting you, and I'm sorry for that. I do love you in a way. I love you in the way someone loves his first love. I'll always love you, but I'm no longer in love with you. I tried to feel for you what I once did, but I can't. I feel that spark with Molly, though, and I want to explore it because it could be the real thing."
"You can't just toss me to the side like I'm garbage," Dolores said weakly.
Arthur took her hand and gave it a slight squeeze. "I'm sorry. I hope you'll be able to forgive me one day and we can become friends."
And with that, he walked away from her, shattering Dolores' heart. That was when bitterness began to consume her as she vowed revenge on Arthur Weasley, Molly Prewett, and everyone they cared about.
