"You planned to take the blame?" she asks him, quick now, tight and angry, and horrified. "That was your fucking plan all along, wasn't it? To take the blame and – and be tortured and murdered?" Her voice lifts in angry disbelief toward the end, because why? Except that she already knows why. Malfoy thinks it would be justice, he thinks that he deserves it. He thinks that after the atrocities he has committed there can be no coming back, and he's wrong. He's a fucking idiot. It won't be easy, but he doesn't need to let what he did as a spy dictate who he is for the rest of his life. Especially if letting it dictate who he is means he commits suicide after telling her he loves her. Does he not realise how cruel that is?
