Sometimes love and hate and emotions just aren't enough. Sometimes you need proof that you're really alive and that what you believe is true and that everything you've been doing hasn't been in vain. Sometimes you need to walk around the school when you think no one's watching, but you know they really are, 'cause you can feel it. You need to purposefully make too much noise and walk a bit too slowly just to catch her eye.
Draco Malfoy knows all too much of freedom and ignorance and this so-called bliss that everyone compares to falling in love. But what these people don't know is that you don't fall in love, not really – you slam in love and you drown in love and you asphyxiate in love because it's all that matters, after all. Life doesn't matter and happiness doesn't matter and shadows and secrets and goals don't matter; love will set you free.
If love is the ultimate truth, then Draco thinks that he'd rather be lied to.
