"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.

Dear Daph,
Well, if you are still irritated at me for having you sent away you will love this letter. Within the time I last saw you until now I have managed to ruin a friendship, ruin a relationship, and save a life only to condemn it in another manner. For the past two years Draco Malfoy and I have basically been dancing around one another. I found out recently why, it was because he was afraid of eventually losing me. Anyways, I will not be returning home for Christmas this year. I simply cannot face Mother and Father, and I do not think they wish to see me neither. Let them know I think of them often. You are going to be an amazing healer, Daph. Maybe one day I will have the honor of you healing one of my wounds. Happy Christmas.
All my love,
Tori
To say the tension between Pansy and Astoria was thick would-be understatement. Pansy decided she could not look at Astoria any longer, so she moved herself out of their dorm, and Lilla moved in with Astoria. She did not think that was an all-bad thing. Lilla was her most trusted friend and right now Lilla needed her more than anyone else, since now she was to be married when she turned eighteen. She still had well over a year to get used to the idea, but right now she was starting to isolate herself from the world. Astoria would do all she could to get Lilla out of her shell. She asked her many times to go to London for a weekend, spend a night drinking in the common room and occasionally offer to smoke with her. Lilla stayed locked away in her dorm before and after classes. It was heartbreaking for Astoria to see this strong-willed girl at such a low.
"Please come outside with me. I will conjure you a self-warming cloak and you will stay nice and toasty in the snow." Astoria stated.
Lilla was in her bed reading a book, Little Women, she must have read it at least four times already. It seemed to be her comfort story.
"No, you go. I am happy here." Lilla said lowly not looking at Astoria.
Astoria grabbed her cigarettes and walked out of the room. When she was walking through the dark hallway, she felt someone tug her by the arm and she was pushed up against the wall. Her lips connected with another's; hints of peppermint filled her nostrils. She felt hands hike up her shirt and in her hair. She knew these hands well, all too well.
"You cannot just push me against any wall and kiss me whenever you feel like it." Astoria said sarcastically while attempting to look at gray stormy eyes.
"Oh please. I'll push you up against anything whenever I want." Draco murmured against her lips.
Draco and Astoria were not officially a pair, and they did not make their affections public. However, after the masquerade it was apparent what was going on when Pansy awoke and realized it was Astoria who stunned her. Pansy put the pieces together quickly.
