"Would you kill for love?" He sneered coldly.
"Love has destroyed me into the woman who stands before you. Broken, tethered, and utterly infatuated with a man who suffers the same fate as I." She said with a sorrowful chuckle.

She could feel her heartbeat in her throat. Her blood pressure shot up so high she could barely breathe. Astoria was holding Lilla in her arms.
She was barely breathing. Lilla clutched a bottle of fire whiskey. Lilla was a small girl like Astoria. Merely only 5'3 and 108lbs. Astoria knew Lilla had a knack for heavy drinking, but she never drank into oblivion.
Lilla please. Please wake up. Open your eyes.
Astoria thought to herself. She could feel tears streaming down her face. Before she could look up, she saw a pair of pale hands reach for Lilla's body. It was Malfoy.
"What the bloody hell happened to her?" Draco waved his wand casting a common diagnostic spell over Lilla. Astoria's head was riddled with anxiety she forgot to do anything that would aid her friend. That made her heart sink.
Astoria tried to open her mouth, but hiccups and breaths kept coming out of her.
Breathe. In and Out. Deep Breaths.
"I-I am not sure. I just walked in and found her on the ground unconscious. Wha-what is g-go-going on! I can'-can't lose her!" Astoria whaled out while holding her friend's hand.
Draco looked her in the eyes. "Your friend is going to be fine Greengrass. She has alcohol poisoning. A girl this small should really go easy on the fire whiskey. Not sure what the hell was going through her head." Draco waved his wand and conjured up a glass of water.
"Aquamenti" he muttered to himself a few times before Lilla swallowed two full glasses of water.
Lilla finally spit up some the water and opened her eyes.
"What the f- what's going on?" Lilla said as she looked at Astoria then back at Draco.
"Oh Lilla!" Astoria threw her arms around her best friend. "I thought you were dead! I walked into the common room and found you on the ground! How much did you drink!?" Astoria said while snatching the bottle away from Lilla's hands.
Lilla sighed and she sat up clutching her head in her hands.
"I did not drink too much. I...I... mixed some things together. I guess I went a little to far." Lilla said while lowering her head in shame.
Malfoy scoffed. "You think?"
Astoria smacked Malfoy's arm. "I am here for you Lilla. I will brew you a sobriety potion and you will be good as new. Let me help you back to your room."
Lilla agreed and got herself up, but soon after she found herself running over to the nearest bin and vomiting.
Malfoy looked at Lilla with disgust and took a seat on the nearest leather couch. He crossed his ankle over his knee and began pouring himself some fire whiskey.
