Entry 4: First Spark

Written by Draco Malfoy on Mon Jan 20 2025

She said something today—something simple, something meaningless—but it stayed with me. She said she doesn’t trust easily. Neither do I, but when she said it, I wanted to promise her she’d never need to trust anyone else. I could be enough for her.

It’s ridiculous. I don’t even know if she sees me that way, and yet I already feel this... pull. Like I’d destroy anyone who tried to take her from me. Is this what they meant when they said love makes you weak? Because it doesn’t feel like weakness. It feels like the only strength I’ve ever known.

I find myself thinking about her more often than I’d care to admit. Her smile, the way her eyes light up when she talks about something she’s passionate about, the sound of her laughter—it all consumes me in a way I never thought possible. I’ve always prided myself on my ability to remain detached, to keep my emotions in check, but she has a way of unraveling me with just a glance.

I know I shouldn’t be feeling this way. Love, or whatever this is, has never been a luxury I could afford. My life has always been about survival, about protecting what’s mine at all costs. But with her, it’s different. With her, I want to be more than just a survivor. I want to be someone worthy of her trust, someone who can offer her the kind of security she deserves.

I catch myself watching her sometimes, when she thinks no one is looking. The way she furrows her brow in concentration, the way she bites her lip when she’s nervous—it’s all so endearing, so human. And for a moment, I forget about the darkness that lurks within me, about the blood that stains my family name. For a moment, I allow myself to imagine a different kind of future, one where I’m not defined by my past but by the person I choose to become.

But then reality sets in, and I’m reminded of the world we live in, a world where trust is a rare commodity and betrayal lurks around every corner. Can I truly offer her the kind of protection she needs, the kind of love she deserves? Or am I just setting us both up for heartache and disappointment?

I don’t have the answers yet. All I know is that she’s ignited something within me, a spark of hope amidst the darkness. And for now, that’s enough. That’s worth fighting for, worth risking everything for. Because in her eyes, I see a reflection of the person I could be, the person I want to be.

So I’ll keep this flame alive, nurture it, let it guide me through the uncertainties that lie ahead. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll find a way to be the man she needs me to be. The man she deserves.
