I will myself to detach myself from Harry…no, Potter. For when this is over, life will return to its natural rhythm.

I am expected to despise Potter and why shouldn't I? My relationship with him was a volatile one; I am neither content nor discontent with it. The state of our relationship has not and will not change. I will treat him the same as before and celebrate his eventual departure from Hogarts.

A perfect strategy if it not for the fact that I am already fighting a losing battle.
