 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
It was happening. Itwashappening. ItWasHappeningItWasHappeningItWasHappening. It was happening. Ash took some deep breaths, trying to remember her previous good mood. It didn't help much. She stared at her desk and at her hands, which were clasped together so tightly that the knuckles were white. "I guess Regulus Black regretted joining up. He made a choice because he thought it would be the right one, but it turned out to be bad for him and for everyone else so he changed his mind."She released her own hand, suddenly feeling the pain of holding on so tightly. "That doesn't make him a good person. But he did better than he did before, and that means something."
She went back to staring at her desk. Her hands were lying relaxed on the desk, like they had nothing to do. The sight made her upset for some reason. So she clasped them together again, resisting the urge to walk straight out the door. |
