“Love cuts deeper than blade .”
Cassandra Claire , Draco Sinister
“Perhaps you are neither one thing nor the other, neither
angel nor demon, purely evil nor purely good...”
Cassandra Claire, Draco Sinister
“Tact is just lying for grown-ups.”
Cassandra Claire, Draco Sinister
“Let me tell you something, Malfoy, there's no such thing as what you are. You want to believe it because it means you don´t have to make any choices. But there are always choices. Every second of your life you’re choosing to be one thing or the other. And that´s what makes you who you are. So who are you, Malfoy?
Cassandra Claire, Draco Sinister
“You’ve done better than anyone could have expected or asked of you. I’m proud of you."
Draco stared at Sirius for a moment. No one had ever said that to him before. Not once, not ever. "I didn’t have a choice," he said.
"There’s always a choice," said Sirius. "When we say there’s no choice, we’re just comforting ourselves about the decision we’ve already made." His voice was, for a moment, bitter. "Even under threat or torture there is always a choice. And you’ve made the right ones. Draco..." He rested his hand on the boy’s shoulder. "Being a good person...it doesn’t mean adhering to some random set of rules you’ve imagined, or imposed on yourself. It means doing each right thing because it is the right thing; because it protects the people you care about. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my life it’s not to be afraid of the responsibility that comes with caring for other people. What we do for love: those things endure." And his eyes darkened. "Even if the people you did them for don’t."
Sympathy tore out of Draco what anger or condemnation would not have. His throat tightened, and he burst out, "I told Harry about his parents - that was wrong of me-- "
Sirius silenced him with a gesture. "I know you’d rather cut your own hand off than hurt him. You did the wrong thing but for the right reasons. Maybe you saved his life. I did the wrong thing; I should have told him myself, before.”
Cassandra Claire, Draco Sinister
“But the manticore is an evil creature," said Draco, still feeling dazed. "How can its blood heal?"
"The manticore is only an animal," said the demon, and there was a sharpness in its voice. "It is only a living being. Evil and good are the words you humans use to put a name to a purpose. But an animal is just an animal, a tool just a tool, a sword just a sword. It is the use you make of it that determines its nature. It could be said that that manticore saved the life of your friend with its own dying blood, and how did you pay it for that? With steel and poison."
"It would have killed us," said Draco faintly, although in his ears he heard the voice of the manticore as it died, Why do you slay me, Master? It was you who made me what I am.”
Cassandra Claire, Draco Sinister
“She deserved nothing better, she thought, for being stupid enough to get involved with Draco in the first place. Not that they were, per se, involved. For being stupid enough to allow herself to have feelings for him, then. Of course, feelings couldn’t be controlled.”
Cassandra Claire, Draco Sinister
“…if anything between you two is going to change, you´re going to have to be the one to change it.”
Cassandra Claire, Draco Sinister
“Charlie opened his mouth, with the stunned expression of someone who just knows there's a loophole in the logic he's just heard, but can't quite put a finger on what it is.”
Cassandra Claire, Draco Sinister
“There was something about Harry that made you pay attention to him; Draco couldn't have put a finger on what it was, but knew somehow that it was this, this peculiar and indefinable quality, that he had always envied. Harry had it even when he was exhausted, even when he was asleep, and Draco thought with a relieved and sudden flicker that he no longer felt particularly envious of Harry in that way. It had passed and now, instead of hating Harry for possessing a quality that made people want to be around him, he wanted to be around him, too. He was happier when Harry was around -- he felt stronger, better, a healthier, more content version of himself; when Harry wasn't there he felt snappish and irritable and as if he'd lost something important. He had no idea what that meant -- perhaps it meant that he and Harry were becoming friends?”
Cassandra Claire, Draco Sinister
