Durin’s Folk do not flee from a fight.

We had to throw rocks. I told her to run, to go be free, that I didn’t want her anymore. There were other wolves for her to play with, we heard them howling, and Jory said the woods were full of game, so she’d have deer to hunt. Only she kept following and finally we had to throw rocks. I hit her twice. She whined and looked at me and I felt so ‘shamed, but it was right, wasn’t it? The queen would have killed her.

Yes, my holding out the berries had been the spark, but I had no way to control the fire.

Draco married the younger sister of a fellow Slytherin. Astoria Greengrass, who had gone through a similar (though less violent and frightening) conversion from pure-blood ideals to a more tolerant life view, was felt by Narcissa and Lucius to be something of a disappointment as a daughter-in-law. They had had high hopes of a girl whose family featured on the ‘Sacred Twenty-Eight’, but as Astoria refused to raise their grandson Scorpius in the belief that Muggles were scum, family gatherings were often fraught with tension.

we look up at the  s a m e  s t a r s  and see such different things.

I just don’t want to be another piece in their game. I just keep wishing I could think of a way to show them that they don’t own me. If I’m gonna die, I wanna still be me.

every fairytale needs a good old-fashioned villain.
