"I watched this girl navigate Hogwarts like a pro and then best me in every subject apart from Flying. I was eleven, I had no idea what "wanting someone" was all about, but I knew I wanted you. I told my parents about you and Lucius threw a fucking fit, talking about breeding and that awful word, and that if I didn't beat you in every subject, I wasn't fit to be a Malfoy and all that wank... and I tried, I tried so hard to beat you, but I couldn't, and so all that wanting, turned to bullying and hating. As you have probably figured out, Lucius bullied me, so I took it out on you. The only thing I've ever truly wanted in my life."
