Excellent Rising From Ashes quote

[lavivi]

Have come to an excellent, excellent quote in the story.

Draco got a reply letter from Ginny, stating she would like to try to have a secret relationship.

Draco stepped to the side of the road, into a shadowy hollow between two shops, and he read Ginny's letter again. He read it until it had burnt into his memory. And then, with a terrible wrench in his heart, he tore it into tiny shreds and scattered them in different places as he walked towards the Lighthouse. Her yes. He had thrown it away. But he had been given no choice.

That night, at the Manor, Draco burnt an old book of curses belonging to his father. It wasn't the most satisfying retaliation; when his father noticed it gone, he would only blame a servant.

Draco didn't care. For everything of hers that he lost from now on, his father would lose something too.
