Maybe you're not unloveable.

As you and Talia come up to the Dark Lord's chamber, you begin to have a frightening thought.

Not a thought about Voldemort or whether or not he would accept you. Not about the friends you left behind.

You had a thought about someone who was standing right next to you.

You had a thought about Talia.

You thought, that even if the Dark Lord refuses you. Even if he sends you away. Even if he hates you, it will all have been worth it, because  through this situation you have met her.

You met Talia.

You find yourself regretting letting your obsession with the Dark Lord get this far.

Fuck, you think to yourself.

What if he does like me? What if he accepts me? What if he wants me to be with him? If you told me a week ago I would question if I wanted to be with Voldemort, I would have laughed in your face.

The Dark Lord is the only thing that I haven't questioned.

You attempt to ground yourself on this thought.

The Dark Lord is the only thing that I haven't questioned. The Dark Lord is the only thing that I haven't questioned. The Dark Lord is the only thing that I haven't questioned.

It doesn't work. Your attempts fail, for there is  one thing stronger than Lord Voldemort.

Talia.

Talia is stronger than Lord Voldemort. Not physically. Not magically. Not intellectually. But, your feelings for her are stronger than anything you have ever felt for Voldemort.

You find yourself wondering what you ever saw in him in the first place.

Why would you ever want a man (because despite all his attempts to not be, that is what he is. He is just a man. A man who wants to be a god) like him? Why would you want him when there's Talia?

You don't even want Talia. I mean, you definitely want her, but you're not in love with her. You just met her; she's showed you that there's more people worthy of your love than Voldemort.

She's showed you that you can love someone who's not a monster.

She's given you a sliver of hope. Hope that you can be love and be loved, despite the fact that you are previously unloved. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but you could imagine yourself spending a life with her.

A life with Talia.
