Summary:

”Every night, you“re terrified of what you won“t become, so you want to die young.”

“What if you slept? And what if, in your sleep, you dreamed? And what if in your dream you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower? And what if, when you awoke, you had the flower in your hand? Ah! What then?” —Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Former Death-Eater, Draco Malfoy, Murdered by Father. Lucius Malfoy to Face Extended Sentence.

“No. No, no, no, no, no,” Harry repeated.
