The young girl totally absorbed me, without me joining the general conversation. I felt her living and moving like surrounded by a gentle music, and the delicate, deep fascination of her being encircled me dense, sweet and strong like the scent of a flower. As much as good this was for me, I could feel without a doubt that seeing her could not calm me and satisfy me and that the pain, if I would be again separated from her, would have become much more excruciating. In the delicate person of her, my fate and the flourishing spring of my life seemed to look at me, that I had to grab and to hold, because they would nevercome back. It was not a physical desire of kisses and of a night of love...It was more a pleased confidence that in that dear figure my destiny wanted to meet me, and that the spirit of her was friend to me, and that my happiness had also to be hers.

    You don't know what it means! You... none of you... has had to do anything of the sort! Do you think that learning by heart a couple of spells and conjuring them against him, as we do in class is enough? But there is nothing between you and your death other than... your brain, your liver, or something... how can you reason when you know that in a split second you will be assasined, tortured or see your friends die.

      Se wondered if the moment would ever arrive in her life where she wouldn't have thought of him,, she wouldn't have heard him talking in her mind, she wouldn't have relived every moment spent with him, she wouldn't have desired his voice, his hands, his love. She never thought how it would have been like to love someone that much; of all the things that had disconcerted her in her adventures, this one was the most disconcerting. She thought that the tenderness he had left in her heart was like a bruise that would've never left, but that she would have treasured for ever.
