Prologue
"If things were to be different and we were given a chance to choose what we would really want for ourselves, maybe I get to choose you, without minding the repercussions, without any negative backlash, without the sordid standard of our modern-day society. Maybe you would choose me too, who knows? It might not be tonight, but maybe someday, and I am hopeful, I'll forever hold on to that one little light of hope that you ignited in me, the night we had that first kiss. It was not a mistake, not really, it was more of giving in to that one real thing that I always hoped to have, to earn, and to keep."
-HJ Granger
"I just want to be yours, this whole world is a sodding nightmare without you in it. I know you can never be mine, I know in my heart that I could never have you, I don't know how to earn you, I don't even know if you would allow me to. But I can be yours, everything about me can be yours, you are the bane of my entire existence, and I want to be yours. My heart, my body, damn it all! Even my soul is yours if you will have me. If I don't tell you this now, then I will rue the day that someone else might, that someone else will have the courage to say all these amazing things about you. I can't, I want you, all of you, for all my life. In this life, or the next, and in a hundred different lifetimes."
-DL Malfoy
