Darling

He thinks he's superior. Pure blood, rich, confident. He's never known better.

Until he meets Andy Darling. Disgusting half-breed Gryffindor, he thinks of her lower than a mud blood. He despises everything she stands for.

But something about her draws him in. He can't understand it; she's proud, prouder than even himself. When he sneers, she sneers back. When he pushes her, she pushes back harder.

She's unfeeling. Cold hearted. She doesn't care about Hogwarts, or the impending wizarding war. The Dark Lord is just a name to her.

She bleeds water. He saw it, running from her hand.

And so he pesters her, tries to make her break. When she breaks him instead, he doesn't see it coming.
