“I’ve been fairly trusting of you. I allowed you to stay here and protected you from the Death Eaters to the best of my ability,” Harry answered calmly, though through slightly clenched teeth. “But I will not tolerate your presence any longer if you do not learn where your place is.”

“My place, Potter? If anyone needs to learn where their place is, it’s the three of you!” Draco yelled, years of jealousy and agitation rising quickly to the surface.

Harry sighed. “The thing is, Draco, you aren’t on that side of the war now. You have no superiority here; your father’s name and gold will get you nowhere with us. So you need to accept it and move on.”

Regulus thinks his parents are entirely unique. He’s never met anyone that matches up to them. He has a strong admiration for his father. They are so similar, both quiet and pensive, silently judgmental, but open minded and thirsty for knowledge in a way that could’ve had either of them fitting well into Ravenclaw. And yet his father is the most calculating and cunning person he knows. He always comes out ahead of everyone else in business and nearly everything else, the two exceptions being his wife and his eldest son, who he ultimately couldn’t control.

Summary:

Quote:

---

Rose was a Weasley. She never gave Scorpius Malfoy a second glance. They were sworn enemies, even though they’d barely even spoken to each other. But sometimes all it takes for love to blossom is a Potions lesson, a few snide remarks and a dropped book.

Two people. Two entirely different worlds that are suddenly intertwined.

‘This is some chase!’ Toby yelled. Nobody seemed to be listening to him. Everyone in the stands was fixed on the battle between the two Seekers. ‘Neither of them are giving in – it’ll be a close call!’

All of a sudden, the Snitch changed direction. Instinctively, Rose did too, and then she had to swerve sharply to miss a Bludger. Tompkins got ahead of her, his fingers stretched out towards the Snitch. Rose muttered an expletive and tore through the air after him. Her broom was faster, but he was closer. He was going to get there first …

‘He’s killed people, Regulus,’ my brother spat. ‘Innocent people. That’s the man you wish to serve. And for what, a sense of power?’ I heard the strain in his voice and saw the aguish written clearly on his face. ‘And you call me selfish.’

“This is madness, Albus,” the stouter man says. The other simply sighs and takes a sip from his glass.

“You’re the best wizard we’ve got. You’ll dedicate your life to finding him, but you won’t fight him?” His voice, while not deep to begin with, hits a very high note on the final word.

“No,” the smaller man replies calmly.

The man’s puffy face goes momentarily slack. “But, Albus, we’ll lose without you.”

“And I’m sure that, should that happen, you’ll have found a way to wriggle into the victor’s good favor.”

The man becomes flustered. “Well…I…yes, but…Albus!”
