sweet like sugar venom.

Do you hear yourself? How utterly awful you sound? Crying isn’t a weakness, and I certainly don’t think me being upset over what happened to that poor girl is either. This isn’t something to just “get over” and be done with. There was a life taken here. It matters a great deal. 

You're wasting time and energy weeping over someone who is no longer here. Someone I'm sure you hardly knew. It's of no use, and it will solve nothing.

I know they are, but they aren’t any of our concern. Yes„ we are privilledge that we’ll never have to know the fear that they’re going through. And thank Merlin for that. I agree, the topic is boresome. Hopefully they’ll all calm down and everything will get back to normal.

In my mind, everything already is back to normal, and I am more than ready to change the conversation. How have you been? Did you attend the ball with anyone?

"Well, if they don't want to look after themselves, they're idiots. Especially because someone is warning them about the inevitable fallout. Why would yo-- they, put themselves through it?"

I share your sentiments completely. If I hear one more conversation about this, I'll go mad.

What were you expecting, Narcissa? Of course they made a big deal out of it, they honestly thought a war wasn’t possible. Besides mudbloods get scared at everything.

A lot of people are scared. Of course, perhaps they have reason to be. We'll never be the targets, so we have no reason to worry. I'm just sick of the topic. It's gotten old, and there are better things to be discussing.

"Sometimes, for some people, things are worth the trouble."

"But usually, for those people, it's better to play some things safe. For their own good."

"Have I ruined the stereotype for you, princess? Maybe, but that doesn’t mean I can’ give it a shot anyway."

"Somewhat. Though the fact you think this a cause worth saving in perfectly in line with the stereotype. You'll only get yourself into more trouble."
