'Now we go back to normal.' – Hermione
'I was referring more to the impending doom of my father.' – Draco
'Oh yeah…that.'– Hermione
------------------------
'There must be something we can do?' – Ginny
'Like what? Going up against Lucius Malfoy isn't exactly on my top ten list of things to do.' – Harry

'So…' – Malfoy
'Kinda back to square one aren't you?' – Blaise

------------------------
'What ever it is you're trying to avoid saying…' – Hermione
'I just think… I don't understand. Nothing's changed between you two.' – Ron
'So?' – Hermione
'So, you two weren't exactly a poster for the perfect relationship. You've broken up how many times?'
'Well two but…' – Hermione
'And nothings really changed since then so…. I just don't see how it's gonna work.' - Ron

'Hermione…' – Ginny
'I don't know if I can keep doing this.' – Hermione

------------------------
'You're fucked. Completely and utterly fucked. No running from it, no escaping it. Completely fucked.' - Blaise
'And here I was thinking there was going to be a simple solution.' – Draco
'Nope fraid not. Feelings get involved and it's an automatic one way ticket to fucked town.' – Blaise

------------------------
'When did you first realize, that it was starting to get serious?' – Blaise

'Wow.' – Blaise
'That's when I knew a part of me was becoming attached to her and you wanna know the absolute worst part…' – Draco
'What?' – Blaise
'A part of me was glad.' – Draco
------------------------
'This is good, It's what she needs.' – Harry
'Exactly.' – Ron
'Doesn't make it suck any less.' – Ginny
------------------------
'So you think you can really make this work?' – Blaise
'There are times when I have my doubts, I mean it would be so much easier to just give up…' – Draco
'But…' – Blaise
